   I agree, Star Wars employs many of the most primeval storys, the hero   
   quest, the coming of age, good v evil, etc.  OK it may lack good dialog   
   and character development, so while it may lack tone and colour, it does   
   have a very stong, simple black and white story.

   Thank you kindly

      Oh people, know that you have committed great sins.   
       If you ask me what proof I have for these words,   
       I say it is because I am the punishment of God.   
            If you had not committed great sins,   
     God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
