Both are dystopias which by definition rely on being set in a real world that could have once been Earth. A twisted version of our world. Star Wars… is Star Wars. You know?

I like to believe Coruscant was once an Earth-duplicate in its ancient past, like that planet from the TOS episode “Miri”. So for my money, THX 1138 and the original three Indiana Jones films all take place in the SW Galaxy.

And I am reminded just how wasted Christopher Lee was in the prequels.

This.

Everything was in place to make Dooku a deep, nuanced antivillain, then Lucas had to fuck it all to hell with that “Lord Tyranus” reveal. From there Dooku was irrevocably ruined and a perfect actor demoted to glorified extra.

Most Disappointing / Satisfying Aspect of the Sequel Trilogy?
Time

To be absolutely honest? For me, the most disappointing aspect of the ST is that it isn’t about Luke rebuilding the Jedi Order. But for that to have worked, it would’ve had to been shot in the late '80s-early '90s, when Hamill, Fisher, Ford, etc. were still young enough to believably portray post-war/reconstruction era versions of their characters. The 2010s were just too late to execute a proper ST.

Most satisfying aspect? Daisy Ridley. She’s cute and a capable actress; I will watch her career with great interest.
