      Star Wars was always bad scifi, because it's actually a space western. I think there is a lot of recoverable potential but I think it's cursed to be "who knows what kind of death star the next movie will be about!!!"

      The sequels are basically just as much remakes as they are "true sequels".

        Prequels are actually kinda good in this regard, being basically about liberalism decaying into fascism.

          Definitely, the prequels were for the most part a great idea plagued by just absolutely awful execution. If Lucas had people to put a check on his worst excesses we could have had some great movies.

          yeah one thing they did right was subtlety build up to the death stars of the originals instead of "wow did you know there were 3 smaller death stars before a new hope?"

      Always hated Star Wars. Coolest thing about it is the whole Vietnam war inspo but that’s not enough to offset how much I dislike it. I mean I wouldn’t take it away from those who do but it is def not for me
