This collection of essays (2005) tackles philosophical questions from these blockbuster films, pondering such issues as whether Anakin as predestined to fall to the Dark Side, if the Jedi are truly role models of moral virtue, and the meaning of being mindful of the "living force."

Satire: Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs
• http://www.zdnet.com/photos/photos-star-wars-goes-pop-culture/67371
Ten years after the first Star Wars movie was released, comedy guru Mel Brooks created the spoof comedy Spaceballs, starring Rick Moranis as the Darth Vader-inspired "Lord Dark Helmet" and the late John Candy as a Chewbacca takeoff named "Barf." While not the box-office extravaganza that Star Wars had been, Spaceballs remains a quotable cult classic and has seen success on DVD.

Politics: The Evil EmpireRonald Reagan’s “Evil Empire Speech” presented at the annual convention of the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Fla., March 8, 1983:
“I urge you to beware the temptation of pride - the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.”
