1. Empire strikes back had rampant agist overtones- "when 900 years old,

What does age have to do with it?

16. No, I'm dead serious.

It's time we stood up to Lucas and his thinly veiled, hateful, bigoted portrayals of evolved species (I refrain from calling them aliens, thank you very much).

17. Lucas' portrayal of C3PO as a gay robot is offensive to me

Where I grew up, middle class robots weren't gay, at least none admitted to it.

21. There are no MIDICHLORIANS

That was just a scientific theory. The force comes from intelligent design.
