The Radicalization of Luke Skywalker: A Jedi’s Path to Jihad
I was wondering when this aspect of Star Wars would start getting batted around in the main stream. It&#x27;s very interesting watching America square the never ending war on terror against our rich cultural history of glorifying rebels, particularly in light of our nation&#x27;s birth. There&#x27;s a reason that the Iraqi rebels were branded as &quot;insurgents&quot; during that war. I&#x27;d venture a guess that referring to them as rebels or any form of the word would be enough to get a Fox news employee fired. Orwell would have a field day with our modern linguistic contortions to allow ourselves to remain the scrappy beacon of individualism and personal liberty in our minds.
