Star Wars in Historical Perspective

This post is from a while back, but I ran across it today and found it interesting. I have to admit that I didn't much care for the three latest editions to the Star Wars saga. Hayden Christensen's acting was stilted, I thought, and much of the dialogue in the movies was drab. Of course I wasn't viewing it with the historical sensibilities in mind that the Libertas blog crew bring to the table. As a uniformed fan of old movies, I enjoyed reading this commentary on "the romantic bridge to Hollywood's past."
