but from what I’ve seen from this new ‘era’, the only person who really understands the essence of Star Wars is George.The disconnect between the OT and the PT proves that statement is inaccurate without a shadow of a doubt.
There is zero disconnect. Everything may be more glossy but the theme is the same.
And I don’t secretly love the PT, I openly love the PT.
It’s not a shared sentiment around here and I’m aware of it, but I can’t ignore the fact that I love both the PT and OT and I still don’t consider TFA a proper Star Wars movie.
Either it says something about it, or I’m just nuts.
Either either.
OT:
- Fun faced pace space adventure with simple plots but had a bit of depth
- Practical effects were heavily used to make the universe looked lived in
- Colorful and fun characters who had chemistry and fully realized arcs
PT:
- Slow paced bore fests set in space with simple plots and the illusion of depth
- Over reliance on mostly terrible CGI which made a lot of it look fake and the universe was all shiny while the OT was gritty
- Dull and (mostly) 1 dimensional characters who had no chemistry and no fully defined arcs
I can keep going but I guess all you need are lightsabers, blasters and things that look like Storm Troopers and suddenly it’s Star Wars. Say what you will about TFA but at least that had colorful characters and was exciting in my point of view a Star Wars film with boring characters and no sense of fun isn’t really a Star Wars film.
