Maybe because Lucas actually wasn't that creative and he stole the basis of the movies and much of the visual designs from the French 60s comic Valerian and Laureline. Lucas is still waiting for the French to write a prequel to their story so he can fix Jar Jar Binks and Metachlorines. :lol:

when I was in middle school I remember hearing that Lucas actually stole the idea of Star Wars from a book. Maybe this is what they were actually talking about?

It's just a space cowboy revenge story. The bad guys killed Luke's family so luke killed the bad guys. It's a John Wayne western with light sabres.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I mean Lucas did pull it from Cambell's book:

Although, I have heard that back in the day (when he was filming the Original Trilogy) that he had more experienced (and possibly more talented) people helping him with the behind the scenes stuff. Also, I do think that there was at least one other guy that did write the script for Empire.

By the time the Prequels came out people were shocked to see that they were such shit fest of movies.

Holy shit. Thats like the final nail in the coffin and is irrefutable proof that star wars, including the old ones everyone fawns over, were and always will be pure dog shit. Star Wars sucks so bad.

It does post Disney. I think it was always fairly good outside of the prequels if you played the games and read the books and comics.

I played some of the games and I would say that before Old Knights it was mostly a hit or miss with a lot of misses.

Tie Fighter is still one of the best space games ever.
