If the world’s using bitcoin, governments won’t be able to fund wars through inflation like they do today.
The ‘Cold War’ impinged on the daily lives of Americans. The wars after 11 September 2001 have been fought without the general American population having to make any sacrifices. It goes on, and so do we.
Watched Star Wars in 77 and that’s when I got into watching films. I was just blown away by it.
Wars generally do not resolve the problems for which they are fought and therefore… prove ultimately futile.
Peace does not mean just to stop wars, but also to stop oppression and injustice.
I haven’t been to a movie since somebody gave me free tickets to Star Wars, which I went to.
Nina Gold is a fantastic casting director. She’s doing the new ‘Star Wars’ movies, but she also does ‘Game of Thrones’ and many of the Working Title movies, and she did ‘Rush.’
Well, when I wasn’t playing with a football I used to play with ‘Star Wars’ figures as a kid. Hanging out with Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker is how I passed the time when I wasn’t kicking a ball around.

I was a comic book nut and grew up on ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones.’
I’ve become very, very liberal as far as war is concerned. It’s just too terrible. I’ve been to wars and I’ve seen what happens. I know what it is to be hurt, and it’s nothing compared to these guys. To be blind for the rest of your life. To have prosthetic limbs.
I think democracy is on the decline in the West. Ruling parties are the same: neo-liberalism at home and wars abroad.
In Kurdistan, there’s a lot of hardship – a lot of wars, a lot of bitter and difficult lifestyles. And witnessing all those made me a director.
The story being told in ‘Star Wars’ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.
Ever since wars have been fought, guys have been writing their stories.
‘Star Wars Rebels’ brings back the banter and faster pace that the original films were famous for.

I do love history. I loved learning about wars and things in school.
Wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds, love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.
I think a lot of times, in a lot of modern-day movies, a lot of things are CGI, but so much of the stuff in ‘Star Wars’ is built and created by these artists.
It’s gonna be weird how there are going to be new ‘Star Wars’ movies every year starting in 2015. I don’t know what that’s going to be like, having one every year. Maybe it’ll be perfect. Maybe it’ll be just the right amount of time to have something to look forward to. Maybe it’ll be too many at once.
The two World Wars came in part, like much modern literature and art, because men, whose nature is to tire of everything in turn… tired of common sense and civilization.
My student days in PSG saw three Prime Ministers, two wars, taught us courage, resilience, leadership and optimism.
As a massively multiplayer online RPG, ‘The Old Republic’ has no single-player components; you cooperate with and compete against other people in a virtual, persistently online recreation of the ‘Star Wars’ universe.
The arrival of ‘Star Wars’ signalled the full absorption of the former counterculture into a new mainstream.
There are no black film composers doing the likes of Star Wars, doing the likes of E.T., doing the likes of Jurassic Park. There are none, nor will there ever be one. That ain’t about to happen!
From the time I was in first grade or so, my dad collected ‘Star Wars’ toy figures from the 1970s and ’80s, and we’d take weekend family trips to antique shops and to toy stores. My father collected a crazy amount of ‘Star Wars’ stuff over the years, and he and I traveled to many conventions.
Are there really good wars and bad wars? We thought so during World War II, and in retrospect, we were right. But in Vietnam, and Iraq we were wrong.
‘Star Wars’ is different to anything I’ve done before.
Like many other Americans, I’m tired of the U.S. taxpayer paying for foreign wars, especially when the countries we defend have raked in huge oil profits.
Ip Man was an extraordinary man who lived during extraordinary times. He was born to a rich family when the country was still a monarchy and lived through various civil wars, revolutions, the Japanese invasion, and the establishment of the Republic.
Whenever I do a play, there are ‘Star Wars’ fans at the stage door, and they’re always lovely – so excited and so effusive about the storylines and the characters. When you’re doing something really serious, and the ‘Star Wars’ fans are waiting outside, it’s a nice juxtaposition.
It goes without saying that when survival is threatened, struggles erupt between peoples, and unfortunate wars between nations result.
In very deed, pestilence, and famine, and wars, and earthquakes have to be regarded as a remedy for nations, as the means of pruning the luxuriance of the human race.
Since Star Wars, that film’s success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles.
My most memorable science fiction experience was ‘Star Wars’ and seeing R2D2 and C3PO. I fell in love with those robots.
We are a resilient country. We’ve been through a Civil War; we’ve been through two World Wars. We’ve been through a Great Depression; we even made it through Jimmy Carter! We will make it through the Obama years!

The way they taught history in schools was not appealing. They stressed wars and dates. They left the people out. I was attracted to history by the need to know about the people.

I do think you are supposed to go through wars with your child because otherwise the tearing apart that has to happen when they go off to lead their own life would be unbearable.
It doesn’t take much insight to realize that wars have been getting worse every time – worse from the point of view of the civilian, more and more destructive, more and more total.

If women ran the world we wouldn’t have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.
The mobile revolution has dramatically changed our world view, empowered women, and increased our empathy. Corrupt governments have been toppled and wars avoided because our species has become so digitally connected.
I think that Americans – and this is not true just now, but over the years – are not fundamentally opposed to war. They’re fundamentally opposed to losing wars.
Star Wars, the original movie, was all the various old genre of pictures: the swashbucklers, the war movies, all those things were put n there in a different look.
I grew up with the ‘Star Wars’ movies since before I have many memories. We had them on VHS back in the day, so they were part of the fabric of growing up in my family.
In my humble opinion, propaganda is one of the most evil tools humans have used against humans throughout history to justify wars, justify atrocities, justify evil. ISIS has taken it to a new extreme.
