Joseph Campbell unpacks Star Wars:

"Man should not be in the service of society, society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society, you have a monster state, and that's what is threatening the world at this minute... Certainly Star Wars has a valid mythological perspective. It shows the state as a machine and asks, "Is the machine going to crush humanity or serve humanity?" Humanity comes not from the machine but from the heart. What I see in Star Wars is the same problem that Faust gives us (with) Mephistopheles, the machine man... Now, when Luke Skywalker unmasks his father he is taking off the machine role that the father has played. The father was the uniform. That is power, the state role."

--Joseph Campbell

cute, Star Wars again smashes box office records, something very mythological going on.
