The original slogan for Star Wars was far less encouraging than what ended up in the film. Marcia Lucas suggested that George change the phrase to remove the time limit, and the rest is history.

Honestly, nothing stands out to me more, still, as how much better all of the Star Wars movies are on Tumblr because of the things the fandom saw there, even if it wasn’t on purpose, and just underlined things to the point of making such better movies in their heads than the prequels and sequels actually were.

People saw little things, like the hints of Anakin in Ben and all of it made so much more sense to them and the movies worked more for them than anyone else.

I saw The Last Jedi in theaters twice opening week and it’s my favorite thing because it still has one of the most stunning scenes ever to make a theater full of people go dead silent in awe... but it’s hated by several huge Star Wars fans I know because it did things they didn’t like or expected, but I see the hints and references to things far beyond the movies that Rian Johnson pulled from because he’s a huge EU nerd the way a lot of us are.

And that seems to be the problem. Everyone has their own Star Wars. The one they grew up with. The version that was in their head because of their specific combination of the first movies they saw and the specific tie-in media they had.

Like, let’s be real. The Disney movies aren’t nearly as bad as they’re made out to be most of the time, with all the largest problems resting squarely on the overcorrection that was Episode 9, but I think it’s worth underlining as well just how much of Star Wars is loved in spite of - and in some places because of - its faults. The prequels are a mess, the sequels go from mid to great to trashfire, and all of this isn’t even new considering the places things went in RotJ.

We’re trained on the expanded universe/Legends continuity, the tie-in animated series, the video games, so much additional and corrective lore, that really, the Star Wars in our heads IS Star Wars.

And I think the thing that really hurts it the most is how much all the best parts were damaged by the really loud “fans”, from the horrible treatment of cast members to the hideous overreaction that made Ep 9 to, of course, the burnout it all gave to George Lucas.

I want nothing more than a new Star Wars, from scratch. Something made with the spark the original movie had, and I just don’t think it ever will happen. The few big scifi films that get made are adaptations and most just don’t get people into theaters, which is the only metric that will get any more made.

I don’t really... have a point here. I just wish Star Wars wasn’t quite so... messy. Not even in terms of its story or the media made for it, but in terms of the people. These movies and stories have always been a bit trash. But it’s our trash. My trash. We found something in it we loved and it drives me nuts more and more every year that it turned into so many problems instead of what it used to be, back in the years especially before and around the prequels.

The way I remember it in people’s little author’s notes in their fics and fan videos. But maybe it’s just what I remember, same as the Star Wars I specifically grew up with.

I feel as if ANH is a cleaner cut but it has to do a lot of worldbuilding along the way, but marcia lucas also cut together a coherent film. ROTJ is the movie with emotional heights and payoffs, but leia in jabba's palace is a low-low and parts of the ewok sequences drag on for me, so it definitely could have used marcia's touch. (secondary to all of this: my heart is always in ESB!)

I agree! ANH does do a lot of the lifting for the trilogy (and series) as a whole by setting up the world, establishing characters and stakes, etc, without plodding or cutting off the moments it should linger on. And that's heavily influenced by the fantastic editing. ROTJ isn't as well edited, which is partly what I mean by the smoother quality of ANH.

ROTJ, great as many of its moments are, stumbles on its way up; ANH doesn't climb as high IMO but doesn't generally trip over its own feet, either (total agreement on slave Leia, as you know!). That's basically what the discussion with my friend is about.

And I'm with you on ESB—favorite movie of all time etc :D
