The whole 'Post-Vietnam' argument about Star Wars in the documentary is another attempt by Lucas to re-write history.

I don't think that this was Lucas' doing. The documentary creators just threw in some stuff that would make it look smarter. Now fans are taking that kind of crap as the holy truth. This is just one of many such cases.

Perhaps you two are correct. Of course it pre-supposes the notion that there is really nothing special about this film series you love so much. Maybe it is, indeed, just another movie. A mere hobby. An over loved one trick pony.

Maybe Lord of the Rings is the same?
