George Lucas almost directed Apocalypse Now during the Vietnam war. John Milius wanted to film on location in South Vietnam.
There is definitely a correlation with people who like the prequels (just the movies I haven't watched the cartoons) and people who are drawn fascist ideology. I'm not sure if its because r/prequelmemes was frequented by fascists and it bled over, or if those are people who just like shitty media. Prequelmemes had its roots in Red Letter Media's Mr Plinkett reviews of the films. Almost all the original posts were aping quotes from their videos, but they were soon drowned out by people who thought they were in good company.
I was on a road trip through going through Arkansas and got pulled over. The cop searched my car and called in a K9, had the K9 reached my car it definitely would have ruined my day. A mangy stray dog ran out of some bushes nearby and jumped into my car, it started eating all my funyon trash in the backseat. The cop was walking his dog up to my car at the time, he looked at the stray and just said, "I'm not going near that thing," then turned around and left.
A friend of mine was shot and killed over a road rage incident. The shooter was illegally carrying the gun, got off with a slap on the wrist. My friend was black, the shooter was white. Happened just outside the city limits of Portland.
