When I think of Star Wars I think of a fantasy adventure in SPACE!
Luke swinging across a pit to escape the Stormtroopers and save the princess. The ear candy that is Jango Fett’s seismic charges. R2 firing a lightsaber out of his head from Jabba’s yacht. Yoda lifting the X-wing out of the swamp. Podracing.
These were the things George Lucas was really good at. Quotable, cheesy dialogue. Intense action scenes. Over the top drama. Eye candy.
I don’t think of it as dark or complicated. It can tell dark stories, and I love what the EU has done in that space, but it’s ultimately an optimistic setting where light triumphs over darkness.
All fair points!
