I absolutely enjoy Pixar and Star Wars films, along with many Dr. Seuss books which have messages not only directed towards children but also their parents reading it to their children on subjects like nuclear nonproliferation, anti-Semitism, dictatorial leadership, environmentalism, and in the case of Horton Hatches and Egg, not being a dead beat parent. I considered Star Wars just entertainment until my early 20s when I read Joseph Campbell which made me very conscious of what George Lucas and Disney were doing including the message of self sacrifice for a person&#x27;s community, family, and friends. This means that George Lucas and everything from Disney [1] thoroughly rejects the libertarian philosophy of Ayn Rand using a language of myth and symbolism which according to Campbell connects deeply with children. That is Han Solo&#x27;s character arc; he didn&#x27;t care about anyone but himself when we first met him, maybe a little for Chewbacca, until he met the princess. She was the first person he put above his own self interests and the investment paid off when she put herself in harms way to rescue him. It&#x27;s for children, the toys which children use to foster their imaginations are for children, the dress up customs for Halloween are for children, and Campbell explains that the particular myth of Star Wars is the coming of age story of a boy who leaves the safety of his mother to join the men.[2] Most people are heavily influenced by these stories. It&#x27;s pseudo science but we understand what is going on with children who have nightmares of the Beast from Beauty and the Beast or Darth Vader. As for adults who play pretend and dress up in customs for play, they really miss the point of coming of age in the stories.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thewritersjourney.com&#x2F;hero&#x27;s_journey.htm#Memo" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thewritersjourney.com&#x2F;hero&#x27;s_journey.htm#Memo</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;billmoyers.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;ep-3-joseph-campbell-and-the-power-of-myth-the-first-storytellers-audio&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;billmoyers.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;ep-3-joseph-campbell-and-the-p...</a>
