Haven't seen it yet. I guess the playwrite Lucas hired really did fixed up the script, except for the political lines.

Heard the local talk-show guys talking about the underlying anti-Iraq anti-Bush message throughout the movie. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

I keep hearing it and tons of vitriol from those who just take whoever's word for it without actually seeing the movie...
stuff like that makes me want to see it for myself more than anything....
I think this film may be the first billion dollar theatre flick....

They used to say the original was anti Vietnam and anti Nixon. Does it really matter?

I'd just watch it and find out.
I'm a big Star Wars dork and loved it. Someone else might view every film they see through a political filter. Depends on which one you are.

I don't see it passing Titanic. The teenage girls went again and again and dragged their boyfriends. I don't see the teenage guys able to force their girlfiends into seeing this again and again. Or once even.

yep - just saw it with my kids. Only the hyper-political will see any underlying politics. There is one line: "only the sith deal in absolutes" which was pretty stupid.
Other than that... the movie royally sucked. Next time Lucas makes a movie, he needs to just skip the dialog and acting - stick to the action. Less crap to sit through.

I suppose most people would call me insane..but I'm taking my 11 year old (Birthday today) and 5 of his friends to see the movie in about an hour. Bought my tickets last week, so does that count in todays total? I'll post my thoughts if I think there is anything worth posting about. Looking forward to it, myself.

I didn't see it, but then I was busy watching Anakin's fall, the end of the Republic, the demise of the Jedi,and a few other plot twists and wrap-ups, so I might have missed it. If there's any political text, it reminded me more of Rome than anything else.

They'll go without 'em. Great effects, high body count, 20 minute light saber duels. Plus, Vader at the end of it. Who could ask for more.

I think you have to play it backwards!

Or once even.Can't speak for the teenage girls but my husband knows he is taking me. A lot of us more mature women like Star Wars...somehow we got hooked when we were teenagers.
