There is not..."The plot is nonexistant." There is not a recent screenwriting book in existence that does not reference this screenplay. I'd say that makes you as close to being empirically wrong as possible.The Brake Fast Clubhttp://brakefastclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648318843542898679.post-24815020546009390252011-01-25T00:29:14.765-05:002011-01-25T00:29:14.765-05:00I think you miss the point on the plot. The entire...I think you miss the point on the plot. The entire Star Wars collection is actually based off of Joseph Campbell's "monomyth." A New Hope is the first stage of the three part monomyth. That's actually why Luke is so sulky and whiny. It's all a part of the monomyth. Basically it's (1)"Hey you are going to go on a journey and be a bad ass." "I'm scared!" (2)"You are not ready." "Yes I am!..... Agh no I'm not." (3) "You got it." There is a lot of parallels with Star Wars and Jesus and Buddha too. But yeah the acting and dialogue is pretty much crap though. Agree with ya there.<br />Oh and Episodes 1-3 are the same thing. The only thing that really changes is that hero fails in the end. Other than that, it's the same really.Hemmity Hem Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518739834310298978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648318843542898679.post-28726812330400359792010-09-11T00:53:03.329-04:002010-09-11T00:53:03.329-04:00Alec Guinness actually got a script doctor in to r...Alec Guinness actually got a script doctor in to rewrite his lines in a way that he could actually understand, let alone deliver them.Reghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990068594003212588noreply@blogger.com
