{{quote|Now I’ll concede at once that fear ''has'' been a major motivator of intolerance in human history. I can picture knightly adepts being taught to control fear and anger, as we saw credibly in "[[The Empire Strikes Back]]." Calmness makes you a better warrior and prevents mistakes.

But then, in "[[Return of the Jedi]]," Lucas takes this basic wisdom and perverts it, saying — "If you get angry — even at injustice and murder — it will automatically and immediately transform you into an unalloyedly evil person! All of your opinions and political beliefs will suddenly and magically reverse. Every loyalty will be forsaken and your friends won’t be able to draw you back. You will instantly join your sworn enemy as his close pal or apprentice. All because you let yourself get angry at his crimes." |

Quotes about the work
Now I’ll concede at once that fear has been a major motivator of intolerance in human history. I can picture knightly adepts being taught to control fear and anger, as we saw credibly in "The Empire Strikes Back." Calmness makes you a better warrior and prevents mistakes. Persistent wrath can cloud judgment. That part is completely believable. —David Brin, '"Star Wars" despots vs. "Star Trek" populists', salon.com, June 15, 1999
