#MayThe4th

I was looking for any interesting The Force Awakens criticism video essays last night that was not part of EFAG or the Fandom Menace circles, and I found an interesting one that criticized SW:TFA from a setting and lore perspective.* Now I know I've seen some of you disparage, criticize, or mock lore videos in the past, and many do deserve that treatment for being mere wiki readings. This video maker actually did his job well and showed that the pre-Yidsney EU had a better consistency than the mainline Yidsney films themselves.

If you watched the documentary, Empire of Dreams, one thing that was harped by several of the artists, including George Lucas himself, was that, even for the first movie, the setting had to be presented as lived in and real. The bits and bobs of the props, set pieces, models, and matte paintings had to look function for a purpose. Lucas essentially made the galaxy its own character in his movies, which became clearer each Star Wars movie he made. Characters can be ruined by character assassination, flanderization, or other writing sin, and a carefully crafted world that becomes a character is no exception simply because a world is not a person.

It was not just George Lucas or the Industrial Lights and Magic guys. Everybody involved with the pre-Yidsney EU, more or less, cared enough about the Star Wars galaxy to treat that world as a proper character and not just a franchise for milking money. David West Reynolds, who wrote the prequel encyclopedias and the pre-Yidsney cross-section books had been an avid fan of Lucas' saga when he was hired by Lucasfilms and Dorling Kindersley. Drew Karpyshyn and Chris Avellone, who both created the KotOR story, both worked one other Star Wars projects and came from TTRPG backgrounds that cared for world building. Timothy Zahn wrote his own before being hired by Lucas and Lucasfilms to write a series about the post-film stories, which were dumped for Yidsney's trashy trilogy.

The Jew suits at Yidsney and the merchant libshit Whites, like Kennedy, don't give a damn about the White craft of world building as long as the spectacle and visual effects deludes consumers into an illusion of internal consistency and artistic integrity. Some Jews who have worked as artists, like Jew Jew Abrams and Dave Filoni, care a little; but being of the merchant race themselves, ultimately, they do not gave a damn, either, if it falls apart. It's not their work, not their world, and not their White Western audience cultivated carefully since almost fifty years ago.
