Some reasons why I hate Star Wars


Normally I have the highest praise and regards for other Scifi writers and Scifi series. For example, I am an immense fan of David Weber's Honor Harrington book series as well as Star Trek and Babylon 5.  However with that said, I have nothing but contempt for Star Wars and George Lucas.

In my opinion , George Lucas is nothing more than a money grubbing master plagiarist.  He absolutely refuses to drop his demented fairy tale of Star Wars from the limelight, regardless that it is the same storyline being told over-and-over since 1977. But I guess he just can't create or (as I reason) possible steal anything new while feeding his massive ego.   

Take The Phantom Menace as an example, which he has just recently re-released...AGAIN!  This movie is an insult (my opinion again) to anyone of the Christen Faith (like me).  It makes fun of Jesus Christ (who I consider to be the true son of God) by stating  Anakin Skywalker (along with another 300 plus individuals) was begotten by virgin birth.  Some of its other predominant messages (my opinion again) promotes slavery and indentured servitude (since our heroes --the Jedi Knights -- were OK with this aspect of the glorious Old Republic), lauds forced child labor, believes in reckless endangering the life of a child (driving a speeder with 747 engines), believes children should serve as soldiers, and finally that Jedi Knights have a right to murder anyone while enforcing their own skewed morality on the rest of society and not be held accountable for any of their actions.  I ask you, is this the ethics you want imparted to your children?

To add insult to injury,  and coincidental, George Lucas has also released a new line of toys that mirrors this movie and is trying to get parents to dress their child up like the demonic–type villain figure of this horrible yarn.  It is not hard to figure out who the Phantom Menace really is – George Lucas, his henchmen, and his quest to double his billions of dollars by fools who will buy into this crap! 

George, do us all a favor.  Why don't you simply retire and go away?
