Ever since critics began screening the latest (and last) installment in George Lucas’s Star Wars epic, the whispers have been building that, perhaps, the turning of young Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side and the concomitant rise of the Empire are not wholly devoid of reference to current political theatre. Specifically, Skywalker, (or Darth Vader, as he comes to be known in the film,) seems to utter a number of hubris-inspired challenges which sound suspiciously like lines previously used by President Bush. Lucas, for his part, insists that it’s all a coincidence.
