at least in the original trilogy they were ripping off good war movies

"you don't like my unpopular opinion . Haters gonna hate." <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

like what

lawrence of arabia?

🤣

lucas actually pasted a rough draft of the movie together from wwii movies iirc

Yeah thats why I don't like the new trilogy honestly is that they rip off the original one because writing is hard.

idk which exactly

afaik its a standard adventure story

he did a great job translating it into space

but its pretty standard fantasy

star wars should just be all the best most useful tropes assembled into one

setting

i mean

it was a truly visionary work

More like, "This argument isn't worth my time... because it's been parroted so much that it's a good example of preconceived notions gone astray. Furthermore, it's also where an actual echo chamber exists."

then tell a super generic story

there are a lot of iffy moments but the move as a whole is great

Welcome to having an unpopular opinion lol

mmm

you know what has way better writing tho

than any of the star wars movie

the clone wars tv show

it also isnt afraid to kill people which is appreciated

I keep thinking this more often, scale doesn't matter in a movie
it doesn't matter whether you're saving the whole world or one dog it's about the writing making the stakes matter to the audience

I should try the clone wars show I've never watched it

@Lucienne d'Anwyl which one tho

which Clone Wars TV show

(God, I'm such a nerd that I've watched **both**)

um

there was only one tv show

the other one was a movie

cartoon

the one about grievous

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Clone_Wars_(2003_TV_series)

this one also had grievous (he was pretty badass specifically because he let his actions do the talking)

and wasn't a movie

GET ON MY LEVEL SCRUB

oh huh

i didnt know that

nah i meant the 3d one
