or a flag waving exercise for afghanistan/iraq
if you want to watch it with any kind of chance of not hating yourself, tell yourself that the blue people are Marsh Arabs, Viet Cong, Mujahadiin etc. As counter-US agit-prop it is almost watchable.
I keep meaning to do a Star-Wars as Al-Qaeda thing but seem to be snowed in with exams at the moment...

why was there a ventilation shaft leadning to the core
when there is no air in space ? Can a single X-Wing really take down an entire imperial death star ? How comes the pilot who allegedly destroyed the deathstar all alone was seen inside that same base wearing an imperial troop uniform just a few days before ? How comes he was the son of the chief of security at the time ? How comes that same chief of security is away when the death star blows up ? How comes troops happen to invade Hoth just a few months later ? Why was the droid used by the "rebel" pilot in fact built by the station's security chief ? (who happens to be family, remember)
Yeah it's all a conspiracy ! Good luck on your exams.

I like your thinking
but was thinking more along the line of:
Boy loses father to unexplained foreign military adventurism, lives with family in desert, vaguely aware of distant economies and technologies.
Is convinced of messianic quest by a low-res squatting hologram (not sure how this fits the q'ranic theme, but I never claimed it was perfect)
Meets foreign religious figure (frustrated, celibate, in hiding) and learns about mysterious ancient religion promising life after death at training camp in mountains
Family killed by overwhelming foreign military power; vows revenge (understandable).
Hangs out with dubious mercenaries, preaches religion with zealotry (but little comprehension).
Is denied sexual relations (albeit with relation)
Foreign power launches completely unwarranted and completely OTT attack on peaceable planet killing millions.
Conducts espionage whilst in local attire in foreign territory (under observation by local intelligence)
Retires to terrorist training camp (under attack by foreign power), given rudimentary flight training, pilots vessel in suicide mission against great technological and economic icon, resulting in its destruction and his ensuing heroism.
Still doesn't get laid.
Foreign power attacks terrorist hideout using overwhelming firepower and technical measures, resists riding livestock and attacking with bits of string.
Etc. etc. you get the idea...
Basically, apart from the whole 9/11 thing, you'd think that the americans should be culturally predisposed to fucking love Al Q'aeda.

"apart from the whole 9/11 thing" - petty bastards going on and on about that aren't they? :D

I numbers could (somehow) be brought into this, it'd go down well with the image challenge.
