“The Padme character, her pregnancy ‘problem’ and her neediness represent homosexuality in the Catholic priesthood.”

What an amazingly irrational and idiotic leap of logic.

Hi guys,

Interpretations are just that. Please refer to a couple of statements I’ve made below. This will help you read things in life better and appreciate the world that YOU live in and maybe appreciate yourself better than what you portray yourself. Try not to take other people’s opinions to heart…is not quite healthy and you’ll find yourself stressed out. May the force be with you all! :

You’re schizophrenic … no your not, but its when people start finding hidden meanings in something in a completely different context and they direct comparison suggests something that people get misled into believing some conspiracy … take the Bible Code for example … you can predict the opening of McDonalds or probably my birth if u use it … people got convinced … likewise, you can replace star wars characters like u have and come up with something irrelevant … why the hell would george lucas put that in ? to represent nothing ? ur theory doesn’t even show his view towards it ur just claiming that it represents that

I might not whole-heartedlly agree with the analogies made, however it is well appreciated. In analyzing ROTS you’re not going to have 1 exact right answer , for it depends on the minds of the viewer and what he/she has perceived. Afterall, only George knows what he was really thinking.
In addition to the above comments, I was able to understand the movie from another degree. The first movie that came out was Ep.4 – so keeping that in perspective, it was ironic how Obi-1 was first introduced as a hermit and one who lived in the caves…I’ve also had a chance to hear other cultures tell their versions of history and how a race of civilized people drove the uncivilized “devils” into caves after having taught them precious knowledge and it was “abused”. Now the catch is this….Obi-1 represents the civilized, so how does that fit sir? Simple, hollywood is hollywood and they like to “fudge”. From Lucas perspective the Jedi might have been the civilized but from the Sith that might not have been so. Remember, the Sith once ruled the galaxy and lost their powers…it was REvenge of the Sith not attack or introduction of. So Sith were an entity that once ruled before the Republic. We all know that before there was light, there was darkness – however, darkness is not to be afraid of or thought of as evil per se. Only movies do that – it makes things more attractive. I also noted that Sith in real life has similar parallels to an acient race of people called Scythians who battled around Persia. The Scythians opposed Egyptian and Ethiopian kings of vast knowledge and supreme mathematics (pyramid and other great structures).
I could be wrong….hey – this might be G. Lucas way of dealing with a history that he isn’t particularly comfortable with. Sometimes when we are traumatized on any scale level, we will deal with it the best way possible…even if it is through fantasy. Maybe I first glimpsed this when Episode 5 came out. Remember, we the audience didn’t know too much about Vader before hand *man or machine or both?* But Lucas made sure that people will never forget that this big BLACK armoured DARK side jedi was really the father…

Even more interesting when you know the deep dark secret of “The Force” as it pertains to the central character in the mythology: ObiWan Kenobi was a Catholic convert. Sir Alec Guiness offers a beautiful account of his conversion and love of the Catholic Church in his marvelous autobiography “Blessings in Disguise.” It’s still around, check it out.

Here’s just a couple of things I’d like to point out with regard to The Kid’s last post. First, as a gay man, I personally don’t have an issue with the BSA’s ban on gay leaders. As a private organization, that’s their right, and I support it. I don’t think it’s the right decision, but it’s not my decision to make. Second, just because there’s no official imprimatur on discussions of sex, oral sex, or masturbation in Scouting doesn’t mean those conversations don’t happen. For one thing, if you put a dozen teenage boys together anywhere, you’re going to have discussions about sex. And as a former Scout, I can attest that there were frank and open discussions about sexual matters within the troop that were being led by our adult leaders. No one was advocating that all of us go out and shag everyone we met, but they felt that the responsible thing to do with regard to our moral and ethical development was to answer honestly the questions we all had. That doesn’t mean that Scouting is all about sex, and we certainly didn’t earn merit badges for it, but part of the idea of developing the total man is to address the moral and ethical issues surrounding all aspects of his life. So yeah, that includes sex. And I don’t think it’s wrong to preach to Scouts a message of tolerance with regard to homosexuality. I’m not saying I that I think Scoutmasters everywhere should be telling their kids to consider an alternative lifestyle, but it’d be nice if they’d at least voice some opposition to gay-bashing (or to any sort of violence that’s fueled by hatred). I’d also like to address this comment: “This is so simple that it takes someone of the very liberal persuasion to find fault with it; it’s not done to hurt those who are gay, but to protect the underage kids in the program.” When you say you’re “protecting underage kids,” that really comes off to us as “protecting underage kids from all the rampaging queers out there who obviously can’t control their sex drives.” It implies that all gay men are interested in molesting children, and that’s frankly rather insulting. Yes, there are some gay men who molest children, and that’s a terrible tragedy for all of us. But the vast, vast, VAST majority of homosexual men in this country find it as repulsive and repugnant as you do. In fact, most of us are as eager as you are to protect underage kids from sexual predators of any orientation. And I don’t know of many gay proselytizers, either. The homosexual “agenda” isn’t a way for us to recruit a Grand Army of the Rainbow. Our “agenda” is to have the same rights as every other American: freedom from fear, freedom from violence, and freedom to love. We’re not interested in “converting” people to our “religion,” so to speak. If at some point someone had knocked on your door like a Mormon and offered you some literature on homosexuality, would you have been at all interested? Unless you already had homosexual tendencies, I sincerely doubt it. You dig apparently dig chicks; that’s okay with me, and I doubt anything I say is going to convince you that digging guys is better. Move away from the stereotypes: we don’t want to molest little boys, we don’t want to convert everyone, and we don’t want to destroy all your marriages (mostly because you seem to be doing just fine without our help). We mostly just want to be left alone, like you. PS: I tried formatting this to make it readable, but apparently HTML isn’t allowed in comments.
