Alas, but I'm afraid George Lucas has little of the poet in his soul. Perhaps his cash cow would have been the better for a few lines of verse. Why I mention <i>Star Wars</i> is that despite its status as cheap dreck, perhaps the polar opposite of the Psalms, nevertheless it ties into the same thing in the human experience, that dream of leaving one's humdrum existence for a life that is remembered by people you never met. I guess the Collective Unconscious, like a gun, depends on you to use it for good or ill. *ding!*
