On a side note , one of the funniest interpretations of Star War I ever heard was that it was supposedly an allusion to the Cold War ( it was filmed during that time . .) , claiming that the fact that the Imperial lightsabers are red and those of the Alliance blue would actually be an allusion to the red colour of Communism and blue as the colour of NATO .
We have a very funny translation for the movie "Star Wars I", but only those who know Russian and watched famous Soviet movies (especially the movie Kin-dza-dza! 1986) will be able to evaluate it.

It is called Storm in the glass / Буря в стакане (2004).
