Lukas is a Cientologist/Buddhist/ whatever else?? and he did say the name "JEDI" was a reference to JEWS...????

He wrote the basic storyline back in 1975. About a person by the name of palpatine rising into power. Now, I ask you to pick up the novel, star wars from 1977. In the prologue, there is an explanation as to what happens in ROTS. and this was writen 30 or so years ago. when you read the novel, and I have you got the sense of what was about to happen and how palpatine came into power.
So, yes, Lucas is anti-bush. he is anti-war and anti-technology. Anyone who has seen star wars knows that Lucas is trying to say that technology with power is a bad thing and that armies are not necessary. and that all empires fail.

you're talking lucas circa 1977, i'm talking modern day george lucas. he's not anti-tech, he's against lazy tech.
your statement would be relevant in older discussions, but this is a discussion on the modern george lucas.
