forget comparing Star Wars to the American Revolution, look at Israel vs. the Palestinians. The palestinians are a rebel alliance devoted to nothing more than destroying the "evil" empire of israel (and the united states). their interpretation of evil is anything which contradicts the teachings of their Force-like religion known as Islam. 50 years ago Israel came in and took the Palestinians' land and imposed law and order on a region in chaos. the Palestinians fought back with terrorist attacks on military and civilian targets. Israel counters with invasions, assassinations, and wholesale destruction of buildings suspected of harboring terrorists, just like Alderaan.
as a challenge to all those digital junkies out there, how about trying to change the music of one of the original pics, say Episode IV? give the Empire some uplifting, majestic, patriotic music. give the rebels something sinister and treacherous. i'd like to see if that change alone would completely reverse the "moral teachings" of the movie.

I know a few Native Americans who might disagree with your final sentence.
So how do we reboot? Is taking a nap sufficient? Or do we have to "find God" and be "born again"?
