whats star wars about?

What's 'Star Wars' about in a word? George Lucas explains

In an interview with Charlie Rose, George Lucas opens up about the real meaning behind "Star Wars," and how mythology, religion, and storytelling helped shape his vision of the films.

www.cnet.com

"When George Lucas was 8, he asked his mom, "If there's only one God, why are there so many religions?" He's been fascinated by that question ever since, and has come to the realization that when you strip all religions and mythologies down to their very basic level, it's really all about compassion.

And that, Lucas says, is what "Star Wars" is really all about. Sure, there are also larger themes like what makes someone a hero, what is friendship, and what makes people sacrifice themselves for something larger, but really, it's about compassion, and loving people."

is nasa a govt recreation centre?

is the bible a story?

 

[newolddude]

You call him middle class but he's been a senator since he was 29 and then vice-president and then president. Done pretty well financially too considering he's got multiple homes worth millions.

I didn't say Joe Biden IS middle class. Joe Biden was born middle class and lived middle class until he became VP.

Joe Biden is now rich.

is the bible a story?

I believe it's a book that contains largely metaphorical recountings of what may have been real events. If the Wachowskis were its creators I could probably just ask, eh?

In 2023 the victims of transgenderism include children. So I think I actually am helping to make the world better when I point out the ways that it's infiltrated into our popular culture as leftists attempt to normalize its present state.

There have always been transgender people. The were forced into the shadows until recently.

They don’t harm others more than any other slice of society, maybe less because of the persecution.

Live and let live. They’ve never bothered me, maybe because I don’t bother them.

 

[rickyb]

You don't need to tell me that you're a defender of it.

you are a defender of people with $$$$$$$$$$$

and you are an attacker of vulnerable groups like immigrants, trans, poor people

[Box Ox]

No need to get upset and say unprovable things.

 

[rickyb]

Five million dollar DeSantis veto triggers cancellation of $346 million in federal funding

• Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s line-item veto of two federal block grants worth $29 million has sparked controversy and triggered the cancellation of an additional $346 million in federal funding block grants.
• The vetoes forced Florida’s withdrawal from a program that would have provided money to Florida consumers for rebates on energy efficient household appliances.
• DeSantis’s decision is seen as a political move to refuse federal money from the Biden Administration, potentially boosting his presidential campaign.
• But the move also draws criticism because the funds required no additional commitments from the Florida budget, essentially returning federal tax dollars to the state, but those dollars will now be distributed to people in other states.

Trump had someone take his SAT for him.

So? He's being prosecuted, Biden and Hillary aren't and deserve it more. Enough said.
