Yeah, you’re kind of right. George can get carried away with his imagination a lot, and the whole “Anakin is the main character of Star Wars” retcon is dumb. But I don’t think you should just wave away the mythological aspect as a pointless distraction. It’s been a key aspect of the franchise from the beginning, with the OT being a textbook example of the hero’s journey. Just because the prequels used mythology as well doesn’t mean that using mythology is a bad thing.
