The Iranian View on Star Wars

Iran likes Star Wars! No, I'm not talking about the missile defense system, but the film with Anakin and Padme (....and Jar Jar Binks?). After the release of Star Wars Episode III, many Americans found the story line to be analogous to the current Bush administration. This discourse in itself is nothing short of old. Surprisingly, though, is this line of thought hasn't solely been in the realm of American rhetoric but also in the Iranian media -- Ok, it's not that surprising. This translated video is an Iranian commentary on Lucas' latest space opera.
