What happened to the Myth? — Page 2

The Saga needs Gary Kurtz. Or someone with the same understanding of those things.

Exactly right! Gary Kurt and Lucas together were the best (ANH and ESB).

Lucas kept it alive though he kind of got lost admittedly. Problem is, Disney (including Kathleen Kennedy and Jar Jar Abrams) have no understanding of the mythology and the meaning behind Star Wars. They think it’s all just fun fiction, well it’s not! Lucasfilm needs someone who understands Star Wars, otherwise the whole franchise will become like the many rip-offs of Star Wars have: Meaningless BS.

I don’t get why you specify the OUT as the newer versions are the same storywise.

Oh come on. The Knights of Ren, the Guardians of the Whills, the whole significance of Kyber crystals, a lot of the stuff in the new EU right now about the long-term significance of Jakku, questions concerning what the hell Snoke actually is (admittedly this could turn out lame, but for now I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt for being mysterious), Luke’s quest for the birthplace of the Jedi, the deemphasis of the Sith, these things are all much more mythologically satisfying than anything since Yoda’s speeches about the Force in ESB. Yeah, the first two movies were the best, but the idea that the Disney era films have totally lost sight of this kind of thing that a lot of people are espousing just isn’t true. It’s all miles ahead of the “twenty-five thousand years of Jedi vs. Sith” that it’s replacing.

Couldn’t have said that any better. The Force is very much alive in our current Star Wars.

The closest thing to “the myth” in the PT was the Emperor’s speech about the devil during the laser-light show.

Also, midoclorians.

What? Midiclorians robbed it of myth.

Most definitely!

Exactly. We didn’t need the Force to be explained further than what was said in the OT.

Apparently people aren’t getting that I mean midiclorians are a myth.

One guy got it and then two more ignored the responce.
