This photo is not a propaganda image itself, but it relates to the current political attitude. Why take your eyes off the screen when you got one in your pocket? The US government and media work together to foster an atmosphere full of intellectual diversions and dead-ends.

What's interesting to me is the rich political iconography that George Lucas has included in his films.

Its likely Lucas used intentionally ambiguous titles such as these, and he even provided symbols to represent each side of this battle.
