1. Because both are works from the 70s to 80s, and Gundam also borrowed from the story skeleton of Star Wars, So in general, these two sci-fi works are the protagonists who have acquired abilities that are different from ordinary people through "adventure". Amuro of Gundam and Anakin of Star Wars are basically the same. Speaking of the protagonist, Ana Kim should be the community of Amuro and Char. Anakin in the prequel is like Amuro, and Anakin in the prequel is like Char.
2. Jedi Knights and New Humans, the former is to stimulate the "Life Force", the latter is to obtain "NT" through self-learning and understanding of self-evolution, the former is more based on the basic attributes of humans, and the latter is based on human learning and transformation Attributes. Nevertheless, whether it is Gundam or Star Wars, in essence, it respects the self, which inspires the great role of self in social life, but it is slightly different in form.
3. In terms of the composition of the story, Gundam is based on the background of the One Year War, while Star Wars is based on the background of the grievances between the Jedi and the Sith (or similar to the Huashan School of Qi Sword). From this point of view, I am more biased towards Gundam. This is not preconceived, but Gundam is more "strict" in the background than Star Wars. Both NT and natural persons are humans and cannot change the direction of war too much. Star Wars, in my opinion, is more like saying that the Jedi always determines the development of the world. This point is separated from the overall era of our lives, and Gundam is above Star Wars at this point, because "mastering the origin will control the future" is far from "mastering the future and mastering everything" is more in line with my appetite in the contemporary. .
4. Mantra: (This may feel painful to me) The phrase "The Force is with you" of Star Wars is always on the lips, and Gundam, I can't think of any mantra. From this point of view, it is more difficult to understand Gundam than to understand Star Wars, because Star Wars has a pattern to follow, and what is left is the "small seasoning" and fatalism of the adventure story, and Gundam has no pattern to find. This is also the reason why I recommend people who are new to Gundam to see Seed, because it is very likely that people will lose their fun because of the "ambiguity" of UC Gundam.
Now I just saw these points.
Generally speaking, although Gundam is an animation work, it is still based on Star Wars and surpasses Star Wars by more than a little bit.
Note: The above Gundam only includes the official history of UC and excludes 0083, 08MS and 0080. It is not that these three 8 series are not good, but I think that these three 8 series are easy for first-sighters to push the Gundam to "reverse". "War animation", I think this is what Old Tomino didn't want to see.
