Is it just me, or did George Lucas absolutely ruin the original Star Wars by digitally inserting some ridiculous sublot about a “Death Star”…?
And while we’re on the subject, who is the old dude in the wizard robes? And where is that wise green muppet character? Because him I liked.
Yeah, I know what you mean; I liked the wise green guy too.
And where’s the huge, gross, obese outer space guy that looks like Oliver Willis? What’sisname?
Oh yeah, Jabba the Hutt.

You know, if John Kerry wanted to prove himself to be a man of the people, he should talk about stuff that is a cultural touchstone, like Star Wars.
Of course, as bad as he butchered his sports references, it’s probably best that he doesn’t try.
Besides, we’d probably just get a speech about how Endor reminds him a lot of Vietnam.
“The Ewoks were close….I could smell ‘em.”
Kermit? Yeah…I like him too.
And I didn’t see Wilma Deering anywhere, I think he digitally removed her.
Nah, Zygote. He’d probably screw it all up by talking about how his favorite character was Jar-Jar Ortez.
(Besides, Endor is a lot more like Cambodia.)
What was up with Jabba?
He was fat in ep 1..
Then thin in ep 4 then back to fat in ep 6..
He must be on Oprah’s diet..
Blast from the past…

If you believe in social justice, please read this now! And pass on to
all your fellow activists! The new Star Wars movie (a clever name
based on Regan-era miltiary plans) called “Attack of the Clones” is
racist and conservative. We must stop this menace before it is too
late!
Please see this link:

To protest this injustice, we at the Democratic Socialists of America
are planning a teach-in and protest march on JUNE 22. Please meet us
in WASHINGTON DC to protest this racist movie, racism and the Zionist
occupation of Palestine.
It is a little known fact that George Lucas is a libertarian
(capitalist imperialist) who hates democracy and fantasizes how we
would be better off under a corporate white EMPIRE. His movies have
yet to portray a single African-American in a positive role, as the
few he has shown are criminals or dictators. Hopefull these actions
will pull the racist movie from theaters, though we will also petition
our democratically elected leaders to better regulate the imperialist,
greedy Big Movie industry to prevent future racist projects to be
produced.
Please see the link below for more information.

Recently a right-winger trolled these groups about our planned Star
Wars protest. As a latino I found this GOP tactic shameful and
hateful. Please ignore this corporate propaganda! I encourage each of
you to visit this website and learn the TRUTH: http://www.stopstarwars.org
As expressed recently by U2 frontman Bono on his tour of Africa: Every
$8 movie ticket wasted by average Americans could feed, house, educate
and clean 52 African children. According to Bono, 98 percent of
African children fall into the UN’s definition of unclean—which
includes shabby clothing and excessive body oder. Surely our money is
better spent on bathing the poor and the basic human right of
name-brand clothing?
It is time to stand up to the greedy corporations that push racist,
sexist pro-conservative movies such as Star Wars down our throats.
Please call your congressperson TODAY and call for COMMON SENSE
regulation of the entertainment industry. It is the only thing that
will save our democracy from the conservative/libertarians who seek to
“privatize” speech along with everything else.
Stop Star Wars!
