I liked the overall message of this guy was aiming for. I’ve thought to myself countless times, “Is it… is it feasible to make a movie/story in general without ‘plotholes’?” but honestly, that video put some things into perspective. Star Wars couldn’t be the same if we’re bogged down in technical stuff of how “x” works. Through “artistic licence”, you can have a fanatical setting without explaining much so long as you create an emotional draw into the story via characters and the rhythm of things.
It absolutely doesn’t mean you haphazardly throw up a setting and hope the characters do the rest, but you can certainly get away with a lot as he mentioned.P.S. I also found his video about how artistically screen wipes were used in Star Wars. It does bug me at times though that he uses the SE versions for the base of his Star Wars analysis and his somewhat lacking knowledge on certain things, but there’s still some merit to the commentary.
His overall work is pretty interesting, so I highly recommend you look into his other videos (especially if you’re into film analysis). He also has a video on R2 and C-3PO, as well as the visual symbolism of ESB (EDIT: this one is no longer on YouTube).
Just keep in mind that he’s a pretty casual SW fan so he won’t get every detail right. He mostly talks about the films of Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, etc. so sci-fi/fantasy franchises aren’t exactly his specialty. But he does like to come to the defense of more pop-culture type movies every so often.
(Also his humour takes some getting used to, but his videos are pretty insightful regardless.)
