"A story in which an orphan living with relatives (who is also culturally deprived)learns that his birth father(Darth Vader) is the epitome of evil."
ever see Hamlet? MacBeth? Oh and by the way, He doesn't learn that his father is the epitome of evil in Star Wars. not to throw facts in your face or anything but...
"That's right up there with cheap Disney popular culture, John Wayne and apple pie. Maybe the culture of America is the culture of WAR and VIOLENCE. Is that the only thing Americans do well; fight wars? We have to raise the next generation of warriors where we can send them to some hell hole and fight a war of attrition where some Wall Street companies can make a profit?"
yeah right, it's an American thing. You won't find anything violent in the literature and theater of any other country will you?
"We have to raise the next generation of warriors where we can send them to some hell hole and fight a war of attrition where some Wall Street companies can make a profit?'
No doubt that was exactly what Lucas had in mind when he was developing Star Wars.
"Yes, they do need to know that there is evil in the world, but I don't know if a movie or commericial television is the place to teach them that."
And this has what to do with Star Wars? Did you even see the movie?
