Well, Star Wars hasn't gotten here yet, but while I was on a trip last week
I saw it in Toronto and I LOVED it!!!!  It's the best movie I've seen since
Citizen Kane!! It was full of symbolic meaning, for instance the two
suns of Tatooine represent the friendship between Luke and Biggs - two sons
of Tattoine.  The explosion of the planet Alderaan was the wrath of God coming
down upon the evil citizens of planet for daring to create robots in the 
shape of men.  The X wing fighters representing the cross of Christ, fighting 
the seemingly hopeless battle against evil.  The explosion of the Death Star 
represents Mankind's final victory over evil.  Never again will such evil 
be seen in the universe.  
  Over all, it was a great movie, maybe the directors should consider making
a sequel exploring the relationship between Luke, Laya(sp?), and Darth Vader.
Maybe they could be related or something really wild like that!!  Just imagine
Luke meeting Darth Vader in a one on one duel!!!

P.s.  I wonder how Darth Vader and Obi-wan Kenobi first met?  I bet that
      would make an interesting movie too.
