Star Wars Bashing

While I (and everybody who was seven at the time) love Star Wars I also love Star Wars bashing. So, being the hypocrite that I am, I'd like to start the roughly month-long countdown to Episode II by linking to an article titled Galactic Gasbag. Salon has a history of posting such articles, as they also carried David Brin's excellent piece, "Star Wars" despots vs. "Star Trek" populists ("Why is George Lucas peddling an elitist, anti-democratic agenda under the guise of escapist fun?").
