"Star Wars": The existential version
(CBS) Anyone who thinks there's meaning in "Star Wars" beyond seizing your destiny and fighting the forces of evil - but still loves a swashbuckling action movie - is in for a treat: "Guerres des etoiles existentielles" has all the lightsaber battles of the original and includes ruminations on the nature of man and the prison in which he finds himself.

"Is it true that man is condemned to be free?" demands Darth Vader of the hapless soul he chokes to death at the film's opening. "Condemned because he did not create himself, yet is responsible for his actions?"
The quotes (mostly) come from Jean-Paul Sartre. We found this video by OneMinuteGalactica via Roger Ebert's blog. This clip is hilarious.
