I’m just telling you that good films exist and bad films exist.
Only in your mind young padawan.
Possibly. It just seems to me that if you attempt something drastically different with Star Wars…it kinda ceases to feel like Star Wars and just becomes generic sci-fi. If it just becomes a series about the Republic fighting against various different military threats from other planets, then it basically becomes Star Trek or Mass Effect.
I think there’s only so much you can do without the space wizard elements bleeding in. The other components that give that “SW feeling” are generally the Western tropes and the underworld crime tropes. Sooner or later the outer reaches of these ideas are likely to be met. Even the design language and visual style of SW has a lot of limitations, which accounts for a lot of why the prequels don’t feel right.
