united states with the rebel alliance, the good guys in the star wars epic and not with the empire, george lucas mind the united states as the empire which is what i should have realized although of course i think we can see star wars as helping to further perpetuate methodologies mythologies around work.these examples may seem somewhat superficial but i think they do point to some of the larger patterns i try to eliminate in the book. to give you a sense of the larger argument in the book ...... importantly i'm not saying that it is inevitable. it must be the united states of war. part of the reason i wanted to write this book was a very much to change some of the dynamics that i hopefully shed some light on. is arguing that all of us in the united states are children of war. all of us have our lives per prefer profoundly shaped. with the long history of war. in permanent preparation for war. let me expand on that a bit more. just a moment. now will share with you some of the fantastic maps in the book. a fantastic graphic designer. it depicts the history of u.s. wars and other forms of combat

but director george lucas didn't think his british accent worked for the character and he got james earl instead to provide that memorable voice mark hamill tweeted this message about proust his death saying quote he was a kind man and so much more than darth vader actor husband father member of the order of the british empire, 3 time weightlifting champion and safety icon. he loved his fans as much as they loved him, david proust was 85. in the east bay police are searching for the person who shot and killed a man in dublin it happened about 1 o'clock saturday morning near the east dublin bart station, a 26 year-old man arrived at the valley care medical center in pleasanton with several gunshot wounds. he later died at the hospital. so far police have not released the name of the victim. but the entertainment website tmz reports that the bay area rapper little yeas whose real name is mark alexander was shot and killed overnight in that area. it's black man to stand up him. told you. >>it was a sad and emotional vigil for the 2 teenage brothers who was shot and killed at a sacramento ma

i think george lucas effectively said, take your pick.r, for all time? yes, as you rightly say, he was offered both roles and he went straight for the villain because he knew that that would be the one that everybody would identify with. and there is another story as well, i believe, that critical moment, and i don't think this is spoiling anything for anybody at this stage, all these years on, but wendy reveal happens, when darth vader reveals to luke skywalker, i am your father, apparently the first time they filmed that, because dave was doing, obviously, the voice of data later when they were filming it, he gave a different line. so nobody in the film production knew that line was then going to be doubled over with then going to be doubled over with the "father" line byjames earl jones. yeah, not many people on the set new data. apparently mark hamill was told what the real line would be, so that he could throw out a proper reaction to it. but dave didn't know anything about it whatsoever. he was acting a com pletely whatsoever. he wa

>> how old was george washington when he resigned, his commission, thank you lucas for asking this question. this is one of the really important things to know about george washington, the soldier. is that george washington at the end of the american revolutionary war resigned his commission and went back into civilian life. throughout the war, he had deferred to civilian authority, although he was given more and more power by the continental congress, almost unlimited dictatorial power, where the army was. ultimately through the war, and there were even some that wanted him to become the king. or imagine there is a possibility that he might become the permanent lord protector of the united states, like oliver crumble did at the end of the english civil war. but george washington promised to give back his commission at the beginning of the war, and you follow through. the british after the successful treaty in 1783, finally leave you new york in november of 1783, and by december 23rd, 22nd. george washington has resigned his commission into the hands of the continental congress, for which a
