Has Luca made Star Wars too serious? In the movie that we watched in class, their was a big emphasis on fun, but in the more newer Star Wars movies, the plot is more serious and the characters lose any personality. The pictures on the left sum up this point. The picture on top shows the matrix of connections made between the characters over the entire saga. It looks more serious than the picture on the bottom which is the classic vision of the original Star Wars. So my question to you is: are the new Star Wars too serious, and if they are, is it a bad thing?
I feel that the fact that the first couple movies don't take themselves to seriously adds some charm. This charm is lost in the later movies and the seriousness subtracts from the over all movie. While I do not feel that the seriousness is necessarily a "bad thing", it does subtract from the film that it is no longer as light hearted as it previously was.
