Does Hollywood Liberal George Lucas need all this publicity on Consevapedia?   Is there not enough rubbish about "The Star Wars" on the Internet as it is? [[User:GloriaL|GloriaL]] 11:10, 9 December 2008 (EST)

: I don't know whether George Lucas is a liberal or not, but Star Wars actually contains strong conservative messages about morality and personal responsibility. It's also much more family-friendly than the majority of Hollywood films today.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 11:18, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Blowing up planets with big laser guns is family friendly, is it?   Oh and Lucas is a liberal all right: http://www.dondodd.com/publius/050202.html Do we really need to advertise his products in an encyclopaedia?  [[User:GloriaL|GloriaL]] 11:23, 9 December 2008 (EST)

: I was referring to the moral lessons about avoiding revenge in even the most trying circumstances - a good lesson in [[fortitude]]. Also, I don't remember any part of the Star Wars films where someone "blew up a planet with a big laser gun".

: I should probably stop this discussion now - I've made my points and this isn't really my decision to make.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 11:28, 9 December 2008 (EST)

You seem less aware of the works of your liberal hero Lucas than you let on.  I've seen the first Star War film and the space station (Death Moon? Death Star?) blows up a whole planet with a big laser gun!  It's there for all to see.  This is a serious encyclopaedia and we shouldn't let Hollywood trivia bog it down.

:: I never claimed to love the Star Wars films, and note that I haven't contributed to any of the Star Wars articles. I was just saying that there's a moral message to take from them, which a skilled preacher could use to turn young minds in the right direction. And even if the planet-destroying scene is present in the films as you describe, I doubt such behaviour is endorsed or allowed to go unpunished.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 11:41, 9 December 2008 (EST)
