Why So Serious?
Why is it that we started taking Star Wars seriously? Star Wars was supposed to be fun, and after 9/11 that all changed. The Prequels became serious, and if you didn't have all your facts straight then you better not post on any forums. What happened in 9/11 that made us become so serious? The old Star Wars were during a time where George Lucas wanted to escape the seriousness of the films of the day, shouldn't we have done the same to counteract the feeling of 9/11? I think the Star Wars series should be fun and exciting with a little lesson for kids along the way, but not the dark, twisted sci-fi film it became.

I agree with you Dalton, however, I think it is easy to see why we have made Star Wars into the dark and twisted sci-fi film that it is. Think about what sells newspapers and grabs viewers on the late-night news...Tragedy and misfortune. If you turn on the news, any day of the week, it seems as if the headline story is some crime or someones death. Star Wars turned into a cash cow over the years, and in order to continue to sell...there needed to be tragedy and misfortune.
