Star Wars is a simplistic naive story where every single character is either good or evil. There’s no character complexity whatsoever. The main reason the original trilogy was so successful is because they were very well made movies made in a time when well made movies hadn’t even been done yet. Star Wars raised the bar of how good a movie should look and feel. But the story is trash.
D and D had multiple 10 episode seasons to get it done. Lucas did it in three movies. (lemmy.world)
Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil....
