I really want to see this movie. I have my quibbles with Lucas’s storytelling, but I am fascinated with WWII history and this movie addresses a facet of this history that is not often presented in popular culture.
Also, a fascinating discussion of the issues of race and the Hollywood system. See Eric Deggans’s blog post (from whence I got the link) for more.
Side note: I find it fascinating that Lucas is making this movie, since some of his other movies can be seen as, let us say, racially problematic. (I have two words for you: Jar. Jar.)
