Darth Bush???

Well my last post was about the release of the "original" Star Wars trilogy, so it seems only fitting that the return of Cinema Lowdown should be about the 3rd and (hopefully) final installment of the franchise.

I haven't seen it yet, so I won't talk too much about it - but I just wanted to say that I hope all the talk about political commentary in the movie is overblown.

I'm hoping Lucas is just going along with the tumultuous political climate by even insinuating there is anything in this movie directly related to the current situation in Iraq. I know the movies might reflect some current themes, but I just don't want anything that's too close of a reference. Talk about instantly dating a movie.

I will hopefully see it this weekend.
