The birth of an epic

Russell 2022-03-19 09:01:01

This is a public speaking, at the current level of a B-level film. Whether it is special effects, performance, or story structure, it is hard to see how it can produce an epic masterpiece that is likely to travel through 100 years.

But the fact is that every sentence in it may have been or is or is about to become a box office bomb. For example, Luke's sentence "You participated in the Clone Wars" gave birth to the prequel trilogy and hundreds of animations. The story of Han Solo will soon be put on the big screen; even the beginning of stealing the structure map of the Death Star has completed an independent rumored Rogue One.

The audience did not know if they still went to the cinema to watch the latest Star Wars 8. After 40 years, the handsome guy of the year has become so fat that he will never return to be aggressive and brave; he is almost the most charming. Han Solo was killed by his son himself; Princess Leia and even the actor herself had passed away, and Leia led the remaining dozens of resistance forces through electronic synthesis.

But for those who have grown up with the film, this is also the truth. The years are merciless, there is no perfect revenge for the prince and princess, there is no eternal peace, and some are just going from one war to the next, which is mixed. Betrayal, pain and heartbreak.
