J.J. Abrams met with the guy who made this video, apparently.​

"I would say that [the video conveys] a feeling that we share very much. I loved how Star Wars had that sense of a world far beyond the borders of what you can see and have been told. It's one of the things it did so brilliantly. If you watch the first movie, you don't actually know exactly what the Empire is trying to do. They're going to rule by fear - but you don't know what their end game is. The beauty of that movie was that it was an unfamiliar world, and yet you wanted to see it expand and to see where it went."

Nice video, this guy pretty much sums up all the reasons I love Firefly/Serenity. It does make a lot of sense though, Star Wars to me is more or less a space western.

HAN ALWAYS SHOOTS FIRST.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

I've never perceived Star Wars as a space western.

Star Wars IS a Space Western... I completely agree with the points raised.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

@[member="Lady Kyros"]. No Firefly was a space western. Look how that turned out.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

I disagree with this movie. I think chasing after lost glory is what gets a lot of productions into trouble. Make it a compelling story and stop chasing the past.

I love how he beat around the bush here.

Amazing is how it turned out.

Cancelled is how it turned out. @[member="Judah Dashiell"].

Doesn't help when the episodes were aired out of order and the time and day constantly changed.

But you are forgetting that there IS politics in Star Wars and that there ARE places that are cities and are new. The biggest part of Star Wars is the fight between the many other factions. Not everything was a war, I mean look at the Cold War. It was politics.

Secondly there are new and shiny things. I do agree that yes, there are places that are gritty and dirty. But if you are a senator for the Republic you will be in a nice transport, unlike the smuggler working with the Empire.
