Obi-Wan: Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

Obi-Wan: For over a thousand generations, the Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic... before the dark times... before the Empire (and Obama)...

The fact that we will waste federal tax dollars on posting mile marker signs on roads ( which were unneeded) and making signs touting jobs created (making signs no less) and "green" programs that end up being unsuccessful, but will not fund the exploration of Mars which could benefit all mankind like the Moon exploration project did shows how short sighted the present administration is....We need to redirect our budget towards the right things and stop allowing it to be wasted for political purposes.

Think about how things have gone for the last 3+ years - $4 a gallon gas ? Unemployment ? People losing their homes ?? Are you really interested in 4 more years of that crap ?

The only way to correct this is easy to see......OMG - Obama Must Go.

What is it about the Dark Side ? In many ways, the "bad boys" were the ones who got the girls...they always seem to be the ones who have the cool cars...being bad has a certain allure.

In the world of Star Wars, we all struggle with our inner demons as we see the Dark Side as having a strange attraction even as we cheer on the Rebellion.....

In the Star Wars saga, there are many who saw " The Empire Strikes Back " as the one Star Wars movie that was edgy... There is a pile of uncertainty in this middle movie of the original trilogy...Luke is on Degobah finding if he can be a Jedi...Han Solo is encased in Carbonite after being betrayed by Lando Carlissian....Lando is not sympathetic to the Empire, he is a victim of circumstance....Leia and Han realize that they do love each other....It is a time of deep uncertainty....

Although it lacks the pioneering "newness" of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back is in many ways a superior motion picture. The storyline is more interesting and ambitious, the characters -- little more than appealing types in the original -- are allowed to grow and develop, the special effects are more mature, and the tone is deliciously dark and downbeat..... In the first film, good triumphed decisively over evil; here, it's almost the other way around.

Thanks to Vanity Fair for sharing these great "behind-the-scenes" pictures....a peek into the Movie Magic from when I was enthralled to rush to the theater to see the newest "Classic" in cinema history...
