While it is clear that Star Wars is, as this page speaks of, about good vs. evil, I question whether it should really be labelled as even a "Debatably Conservative Movie." I find a number of things concerning, including:
While it is clear that Star Wars is, as this page speaks of, about good vs. evil, I question whether it should really be labelled as even a "Greatest Conservative Movie." I find a number of things concerning, including:
*The teaching of a universal force, ''which is neither good nor evil'' (There is no such thing as a neutral God-like power)
*The teaching of a universal force, ''which is neither good nor evil'' (There is no such thing as a neutral God-like power)
*The general idea there there is no God and Satin, but just a neutral power that can be used by men (and aliens) for God-like or Satan-like purposes

:I do agree that it's status as a conservative film is debatable, though. Heck, the heroes were explicitly derived from the Vietcong in the original trilogy, which alongside the Empire being explicitly based on America during that time period would alone destroy any ideas of it being conservative.

:EDIT: BTW, think you can comment on my topic regarding whether Beauty and the Beast can truly be considered even debatably a conservative film, let alone one of the greatest conservative films? [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 09:29, 27 June 2016 (EDT)

::You're right--I'd missed the section break there at first, but still thought I'd argue the point. I forgot to go back and change that. I must say I didn't know there was a difference between "sci-fi" and "space fantasy," but I still say that it does matter somewhat how they present the fantasy, as to whether with or without God.<br />
''"...the heroes were explicitly derived from the Vietcong...alongside the Empire being explicitly based on America during that time period..."''<br />
You've got to be joking... So why is this still on the list?<br />
Also, you're welcome, but I don't know how helpful I can be. I really don't watch a lot of television. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 09:35, 27 June 2016 (EDT)
