True, but Star Wars movies ARE '50s B-grade flicks, just with a 21st-century budget. Frankly, I'm relieved that Lucas seems to be reaching for the slam-bang-action feel of an "Attack of the..." movie than some kind political statement of "The Phantom Menace." At least we won't have to put up with tax federations, embargos, etc. That makes it feel less like a Star Wars movie and more like a high school social studies class.
