star wars as a postmodern art film

what now, november fools day? aidan wasley's slate article on star wars as postmodern art makes me wonder.

Star Wars is really just one big elephantine postmodern art film.
...
As an audience, we grapple with not just the intricate clockwork of a complex and interwoven narrative, but, in postmodern fashion, with the fundamental mechanics of storytelling itself.

hmm, i am not sure which one is a bigger grapple; the entire star wars saga, or the intricate clockwork of a complex and interwoven argument in this article.

[for some reason, i am reminded of that robin williams sketch about easter, and bunnies passing eggs]
