The Star Wars saga ends. The first three parts of the Star Wars saga had a more complicated tale to tell- namely how a Republic becomes a totalitarian state. Telling the tale of the collapse of the Republic is a more challenging tale to convey than the more simple story of good vs. evil that permeated chapter four through six.

The Politics of Star Wars
Someone at Blogcritics.org has done up an interesting piece on Star Wars. This one looks at the saga from a political point of view. If you're interested in the film's themes of how a Republic becomes a totalitarian state, then this is an interesting read.

Someone was telling me today that the film seemed to mirror the Bush administration. While I do see some similarities, I highly doubt that Bush could take out 4 Jedi Masters at the same time!
