The Shortcomings of Star Wars I-III, Part 2
In the last post, I was so busy talking about what I liked from Episodes I-III that I didn’t even have time to talk about their shortcomings. Today, I’m making time. Join me as I look at some common sentiments as well as (maybe) some unique ones. As always, feel free to leave questions, comments, or bitter diatribes!
PS: Next time, I think I’ll post something that isn’t about Lucas or Star Wars, just to give you non-geeks a break. You’re welcome. 🙂
The Shortcomings of Star Wars I-III, Part 1
You weren’t surprised to see “Part 1” at the end of today’s title, were you? You know me too well by now. Characteristically, I’ve written an article that was way too long to publish as one post, so I was forced to split it in half. That left a manageable list of “pros” for today and a manageable list of “cons” for next time. Curious? Read on! I’d love to hear your thoughts as well, so feel free to comment!
Stage Six: Tests, Allies, and Enemies
Who shot first: Han or Greedo? Whether you have a strong opinion or couldn’t care less, that question probably still conjured up images of the cantina scene on Mos Eisley, didn’t it? This scene from Star Wars: A New Hope is a classic example of the “watering hole” scene in many adventure stories, and it’s a great introduction to Stage Six of the Hero’s Journey: Tests, Allies, and Enemies.
