Call me insane. Flame at me. But. Star Wars parallelled the American Revolution. Remember how all of the Empire guys (except Vader) were obviously British and all of the heroes were made to speak and act in a middle-American manner? Counting syllables also might be helpful: Luke Sky-Wal-ker George Wa-shing-ton Lea-ia Mar-tha The entire idea of it -- the fight for independence from the evil Empire. I mean this all seriously. What do you think? Mark Stevans, University of Rochester (not an American History or Film Studies major)

Sure, star wars parallels the Revolution, but did anybody get drafted?! Did anybody have wooden teeth? Important questions, all. Seriously, I liked counting the syllables. Any other numerologists out there? Or better yet, members of the Illuminati or the Cult of the Reverse of the Great Seal?!
