Comments on: Star Wars Review Part 1 (Episodes 4,5,6) https://cinemassacre.com/2009/02/28/star-wars-movie-review-part-1/ Sun, 18 Oct 2015 01:44:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.3 By: Pete Wade https://cinemassacre.com/2009/02/28/star-wars-movie-review-part-1/#comment-188471 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 01:44:31 +0000 http://test.cinemassacre.com/?p=177#comment-188471 I may be completely alone in this, as I’m sure I am the only one who even cares about Return of The Jedi anymore….but I’ve noticed that when C-3PO arrives, it’s very close to the legend of Pizarro (maybe it is Cortez)
He arrives in a foreign country *Spain or South America-again I mix up the stories, it’s annoying for history buffs like myself)
Knows of the “Golden god” so has armor tailor made to confuse the inhabitants – and eventually takes them over/uses them for his conquest.

C-3PO is gold- and is reverred by the Ewoks as some mystic being. Luke realizes this, and suggests Threepio act as such= and then get’s a little help via the Force- in just about the same way.

I wouldn’t normally think that made sense, but as a fellow film buff- who is familiar with many of the films Lucas referenced here- it may just be true. Anyway, if not- I still think it’s a neat thought. 🙂

While it’s an interesting bit of trivia, reading into it is pointless as we only have a limited supply of good actors, and of those an even smaller supply of those suitable for the roles, so it should be no surprise that a few actors who’ve worked alongside each other before end up together again on a later project, that’s just coincidence, or maybe the casting director got one and was reminded of the others, either way there’s no point analysing that.

Likewise with the fact that some series had both the words “phantom” and “menace” in some of their titles. How many ways are there to really say hidden/unknown threat that sound good in a title? Unless there’s evidence of that it sounds like just another coincidence, and an even more tenuous one at that.

Like the bar-scene and western comparison; oh wow, so they had bars in the wild west did they? Here’s some news; we’ve had bars for centuries at least, so why are westerns the ones that are obviously being referenced here?

Okay, so sure, there are definitely references in these films to other media, but not everything is a reference; sometimes you just want a character in a bar and so it happens, whether it looks like a similar scene from somewhere else is irrelevant, and probably coincidental, and probably just accidental; there are only so many ways you can film some being in a bar.

I dunno, the history part is interesting to cover, but come-on, there’s a point where you’re looking for stuff that isn’t there. Maybe it reminds you of something, but that’s most likely a coincidence.

Come on! Was it really necessary to make a sequel to a sequel that ended every thing?! I just hop that there isn’t too much CG.

Anyway, a great video as always. Thanks James!

Your point has zero logic to it and shows you know absolutely nothing about writing.
