That's brilliant. Certainly deflates a lot of the loftier claims about the depth of meaning in the movie. I will spread this interpretation far and wide. Thank you.
Man, special effects. Whew. They're so from the same pod.
Actually, on second thought, the Star Wars Prequels hew much closer to the Last Starfighter paradigm. Anakin IS "The Kid Playing the Video Game", and JarJar is "the robot duplicate".
