   George Lucas is the perfect example of 21st Century cybernetics. His   
   so-called "films" (all digital now, so nothing filmic about them) are   
   tributes to android existance. Even the "real" actors in his little movies   
   are like robots. Some of the worst acting of all time can be found in SW   
   1-6. He lifted character and plot backbones from real films like Kurosawa's   
   HIDDEN FORTRESS and real stories like Frank Herbert's DUNE, but turned them   
   into tinfoil twaddle for the video game adolescent (of all ages). Now he is   
   building a new empire in an old Army base. What a perfect setting! The   
   military industrial complex is the greatest villain of the last fifty years.   
   The greatest warrior of WW2 warned us about it, but we paid no attention, so   
   enamored were we of Jackie O as we are now of Mrs.   
   Governator/Britney/Angelina/Leo/Tiger and other primetime celebs. Lucas is   
   the true godfather of android chic, of shopping mall mindsets, of cyberia in   
   a boy's locker room. Maturity and true creativity goes out the window.   
   Literature is basically dead. For the script kiddie generation, Darth Vader   
   is the undying Frankenstein of pop culture.   
   So are the real humans and humanists among us to remain silent and unmoving   
   forever? I think not. Let fire meet fire, let the digital realm spawn the   
   antidote to itself. After all, you can't destroy a tank with a bow and   
   arrow.   
   Meet the Human Liberation Front.   
   Laughing Man won't appear on your television screen. For he lurks in the   
   shadows, awaiting the appropriate moment to strike. What will you do when   
   all the servers are burning? How will you cope? There are always Buffy   
   reruns, of course, and another Scooby Doo sequel, or perhaps the rotting,   
   reeking Star Trek franchise resurrected yet again, all haunting horrors of   
   the new world digital order. Everything old is new is old is new again. Nick   
   at Nite never goes off the air in the heads of the electronic zombies who   
   control the vertical and horizontal. Your life will be rendered over and   
   over again in the same gray shades of 1's and 0's. Do you even care? When   
   Laughing Man firebombs the satellite dishes, when the HLF nukes Disney, will   
   you be cowering in the corner of your playpen with your multi-disc Star Wars   
   collection, clutching at the Burger King giant gulp cup, bemoaning the "end   
   of all things?" I doubt it. For there are plenty like Lucas and Peter   
   Jackson to keep your artificially induced adolescence continuing forever.   
   Meanwhile, the true freedom fighters of the future will be readying another   
   strike from their hidden rebel base. Enjoy the eye candy while you can, boys   
   and girls of the Death Star culture. The force - and mother earth - is with   
   US.
