I'd say all of George Lucas's stuff--and almost all stuff--is a metaphor for the real world, if only because the creator can't create an entirely new world.

But this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

He liked RotS.

And he leaves out the crucial bit that the story doesn't end there.

And the ending certainly isn't "things fall apart, civilization crumbles, and lights go out all over."


This film is clearly anti-imperialism.

The imperialists are called 'Evil,' after all.
