And it’s all about generations, the issues of fathers and sons and grandfathers, it’s a family soap opera. They call it a space opera, but people don’t realize it’s actually a soap opera, and it’s all about family problems and that kind of… it’s not about spaceships.
The OT, isn’t a soap opera. And especially Star Wars is not about any family realtions at all, it’s just impossible, since the family realtions weren’t yet established. Star Wars is a straight forward fantasy movie, it has the hero’s journey including wizards and magic, everything screems fantasy. Lucas still does not understand what Star Wars is and what people liked about it so much to make it a cultural phenomenon in the 70’s and 80’s.
