Episodes IV - VI may have been nice Conservative movies. But the early ones destroyed that image. Look no further, but to the real hero of the first three episodes Obi-wan "Only the Sith deal in absolutes".[[User:Mgroop|Mgroop]] 10:27, 6 August 2007 (EDT)

I agree with Mgroop's sentiment. The original three movies were nice simple stories of good and evil. The three most recent added elements of moral relativism. And all six are steeped in Hindu teachings.

Here's why: it tells a story that focuses on duty. At one point, the ship's doctor voluntarily passes on his personal goals in order to alert the captain of the presence of the enemy ship. Only unpleasant aspect is overly violent final fight.

Here's why: it is my opinion that The Patriot is nothing more than a revenge tale packaged in an American history wrapper. Death Wish meets Johnny Tremain. One issue that makes the movie unpleasant is that Mel Gibson's character speaks out against an American separation from Britian at the beginning. He only becomes a patriot when his son is killed, giving the message that patriotism relates to a "not in my backyard" mentality.
