George Lucas’s behemoth is a modern myth built on a certain kind of story – one that marries the operatic with the war movie, the mythic with the mechanical.
Isn’t there a whole galaxy to play with? Hundreds of worlds, billions of characters? But beyond its abstract potential, one can see what the malaprop-prone pundit had in mind. The online critic and philosopher, Rich Evans, of Red Letter Media fame, once posited the terrifying idea – more so since the Disney takeover and their open ended commitment to producing new films – that there’s nothing new under the twin suns of the Star Wars universe. Do not read a word of it until you’ve inevitably suckled from the Disney/Lucasfilm teat.
Warning: This is an actual review of the movie, not a consumer preview, so contains spoilers.
