Check out Juan Cole's version of Revenge of the Sith, inspired by George
Lucas's crappompouslousness about the deepmeaningfulness of it all:
"These remarks inspired the little satire, below. Note: Anyone can play.
Just copy the the script treatment for Star Wars III from this site, paste
it into a text file, and perform a quick series of "find-and-replace"
maneuvers. I advise "George W." for Anakin, "Frist" for Palatine,
"Obi-Colin" for Obi-wan Kenobe, "Laura" for Padme, "Saddam" for General
Grievous, "Tariq Aziz" for Count Doku, and "Yo-Brentscocrow" for Yoda.
"The problem with myths is that they can only remain meaningful if they
aren't applied to anything concrete. Once you do that, they just seem
ridiculous. "
