See I think the magic of the first movie comes from the very fact that they took a leap of faith. Like some of my friends say it was just a very passionate B movie. A little bit of love and world building was put into place just like with the hobbit book. It wasnât until after it was a success that more finance and structure was put into it.
There was so many problems that they went through with the first trilogy, they had a lot of obstacles to jump over. Harrison ford went to Lucas and told him he was just gonan change his lines around for the simple reason that. âIt would feel correct for the character.â
Big leaps of faith like that are what made the first starwars movie a success because people could see the passion in it. Hell Lucas didnât even think his movie was going to be successful at all in the box office to the point where he made a bet that ET would beat him out of the theaters.
The first starwars was made with love and itâs one of those âlightning in a bottleâ movies. Everything after SW a new hope is fan service. The story was over, the fans just wanted more, so Lucas gave them more till he got sick of it.
Now people arnt so much in love with these movies because they are good on their own. They are in love with the brand of starwars. It has starwars on it, so itâs good. Because being bad isnât possible. Itâs a big problem with the brand loyalty mentality and why marketers love and rely on it so much. Eventually the idea of making a product out of love is replaced with making a product to stay relevant. Thatâs how the new series feels to a lot of people.
Now if you criticize it the people who made it think youâre a misogynist. But if you love it then your stupid for liking a bad movie. Neither of these things are true but the fact of the matter is a corporation shouldnât be yelling at their audience and calling them misogynistic when they complain about the fact they donât like the product given to them.
Am I now subjected to being called a misogynist when the female waiter gets my order wrong several times in one sitting and I correct her? Or should she learn and get better at taking notes?
Now I also donât think people should be harassed in any way but the fact is the people who do that are either trolls that never grew up or toxic people that you shouldnât be interacting with anyways. Mute those people. Donât talk to them. Theyâre only wish is to upset you and not discuss with you.
No one should be called names because they like or hate something.
