essentially all mordern SF idea starts with ASIMOV. a lof of ideas from starwas and startrek, you can find it from ASIMOV. if you don't find relationship between starwars and asimov's foundatation series, well.... your childhood is wasted hahaha... everone who are interested in SF brough up reading ASIMOV. Lucas is no exeption; hence the influence. starwars is not a moive. it is multi billion dolor business and culture. big buget american movies are not just movies. it is a medium for propagating american ideals. that's why non americans who hate american policy and the government, want american way of life. that's why so many korean people want to come to america and want to swtich their nationality to become an american. mr string, starwas was never intended to be 9 part story. you should your mouth shut since you don't seem to know anything about SF and its efect on society. iLUSiON - le plus grand de tous http://cyworld.nate.com/ilusion
