In Darth Vader's Family Values
the author talks about the political inuendo in the latest of the Satr
War Saga... It has been there all the time. But when reading lines like
this:
For those
Democrats, the signature line in this "Star Wars" is the one spoken
after the chancellor, citing security threats, consolidates his power
by declaring that the republic must become an empire. Senator Padmé
listens to her colleagues cheer and says, "So this is how liberty dies,
with thunderous applause."
All I can think is Chavez and Venezuela. Someone will very likely write
a parallel between Chavez, Bush, and Star Wars. All three have used the
line "If you are not with me you are against me" and all three have
accusation of subverting democratic rules in order to get their ways.
Now, the emperor uses both sides of a war to subvert things (he is the
higher in command in both the Republic and the separatist forces),
Chavez has been accused of fabricating opposition forces or controlling
them in one way or another. Can you imagined if it is discover that
Bush is allied with Al-Qaeda? That would be huge news... ¿no? I think
all parallels have limits.
