OT: Leni Riefenstahl and George Lucas?

No, I think it was John Kennedy. And why do they call John F Kennedy "jack"?

Jack is a common nickname for people named John. Don't know why though.

I can't speak to Lucas' influences concious or unconcious, but as far as the pictures go they really mean nothing. There is nothing unique or inherantly evil about the particular arangment of the people in attendance. Compare them to any ceremonial procession in a similar shaped building and you'll get the same "eerie similarity".

It would be difficult to NOT get the similarity actually. Look at pictures from any wedding in a basically rectangular church with a center ailse (the standard) and you are going to see it. I could probably find one from my first wedding. Though I may have thought the words "Nazi Cow" a few times in reference to my ex-wife, I don't think it had to do with how the wedding procession looked.
