John McCain, for instance, in my state of Arizona), are still exercising disproportionate generational power.  Rather than acting strictly as mentors (Obi-Wan Kenobi) to Millennial heroes (Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia) engaged in total war, Boomers and Silents are still leading the charge.

Is something out of whack, here?

I always hoped, someone would start discussing Star Wars and Generation. And here is my opening:
Luke and Leia are no heroes, Luke and Leia are PROPHETS. Star Wars original triology is basicly a boomer fantasy. "Hey, listen, man, there will be a revolution and the people will overthrow Nixon and his facist pigs!" And in Star Wars this fantasy comes true. In Space!
The Clone Wars were the crisis of the Old Republic, Obi-Wan and Darth Vader are heroes, the Empire was the 1T.
Episode VII shows the beginning of the new crisis and Luke and Leia will be mentors for the new hero generation represented through Rey.
