Why does <em>Star Wars<\/em> stand out, apart, and above every movie franchise ever made? Why is <em>Star Wars<\/em>so <em>Star Wars<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Oscar Boyson attempts to explain and does so in a clever way. He first cites the obvious influences on <em>Star Wars<\/em> (like films by Akira Kurosawa) and details how even characters we love and plot lines we enjoy and fight scenes that we find spectacular are basically lifted from films that came before it and then delves into what makes <em>Star Wars <\/em>so special: it\u2019s because it feels like we could be in the galaxy far, far away. The dialogue sounds like us, the world is dirty like ours, the robots and all the science &#8211; fiction &#8211; have likable personalities, and of course, it\u2019s just fun (and came around at the perfect time).<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/148551759\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Source: sploid.gizmodo.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Star Wars movie made enough money to fund a Death Star because basically any human with access to a movie theater went to go watch it.
