 SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) - A wilted monolith of establishment politics. An entrenched ruling class fearful of change. And one man who stealthily rebels from within, turning the system on its head and bending it to his will.
George Lucas' story is the benign reverse image of the palace coup engineered by the foul emperor of his "Star Wars" epic.
The emperor perverted a tired republic into a fascist state bearing the imprint of his boot heel, standard "Richard III" stuff for which history buff Lucas had many role models to study from ancient to modern times.
