Pocahontas & Star Wars

I thought the conversation between Pocahontas and John Smith between 4:53-8:07 of this clip could reflect on James Bond "orientalism" comparing customs, land use, and the definition of "savage".



There has been an in-joke about why there are British people in outer space in the first Star Wars film. It brought to my attention what if the Imperial Empire is like the British Empire. James Bond as Darth Vadar and "M" as Darth Siddious. Luke and the Rebels are the "villains" in these "foreign land/worlds".



There are a few youtube clips of "gandhi & star wars".

In other news, this is awesome tech:
