The first film (or fourth, depending on how you count) focused on the periphery of this galactic struggle. (Wait and see, wait and see.) Instead of being bit players in a galactic struggle - iconic everymen (and everywomen) - our heroes are actually larger-than-life bluebloods upon whom the fate of the galaxy has always rested. Now we’re asked to believe that all along Luke was some crown prince, destined for greatness.

(Admittedly, the new Battlestar Galactica kicks ass, but that’s only because it’s a re-imagining of the original concept if it had picked up where the old show left off, it wouldn’t have worked.)īut why does Star Wars suck now? What happened? Where did it go wrong? The Star Wars franchise once descended into dormancy after a disappointing third film when it revived fifteen years later, things had become even worse.
I can’t help but hope that it hibernates for decades. Star Trek is about to go dormant, a decade after descending into gross suckage.
Naturally they became heroes.” - Prologue, Star Wars novelization by George Lucas “They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
