The story of an orphaned boy who becomes radicalised after a military strike kills his family.

He is indoctrinated in to religion. Joins a band of insurgents and carries out a terrorist attack against a military installation killing thousands?

Except he wasn’t an orphaned boy. Not when he was attacking the military installation

Ah, but he thought he was.

He was also from a hot and sandy place!

Goodness, this film would never be made today! ;-)

He thought he was orphaned, he didn't know who his father was.

He didn’t know who his sister was either, and he was tongue-tonsiling her.

So we have an incestuous pair of terrorists, one of whom came from a desert region, inducted in to a hokey religion and attacking the military branch of the legal government.

I think George Lucas and Disney should be up in front of the beak for sedition! ;-)

The father (who half-strangled his wife) tortured his daughter then hacked off the hand of his son.

Thread drift
I remember seeing Star Wars when it was released in 1977. A friend was reading medicine at Newcastle Uni so we visited for a weekend on the lash. We got really really really hammered at a pub called the Cooperage on the Quayside one Saturday afternooon, our girlfriends went off in disgust, and I remember walking up a flight of stone steps and joining a queue of people. No idea what the queue was for but we thought it must be good.

With a spinning head the special effects were outstanding.

I wish my constitution was as good these days

Having been at Newcastle University at that time (and knowing a lot of medics!) - the Cooperage was an interesting drinking place. Not one of my choices.
I suspect a Newcastle University medic probably out-drank you. They had plenty of practice!
