Ok I definitely need to rewatch star wars if I'm ever gonna be able to approach it with that level of nuance hahaha. 6 + 3 movies plus a miniseries, here I come! Haha
I've spent so much time thinking Lucas' whole heroes journey thing is so derivative and christian, it will be quite the experience watching it with a 'this is maybe marxist' read hahaha
This is all very new to me haha. Growing up, it was always "Star Trek is for leftists, and Star Wars is for chuds”. Luckily my mind is flexible and capable of change haha, how interesting!
It's the great man theory vibes that set me away the most. Every character is a hero, and that's the whole story. I don't think I'll ever get into the extended universe stuff, but I do think I'll give the films another look . I haven't even seen all of the new new trilogy yet, so a full re-watch might be a good way to get around to that :)
