Star Wars Ring Theory

[Jack Ross]

So I found this. What do you guys think of this? I think it is a fairly interesting look at the prequels, even though I still think they are "eh". But still, interesting look at the saga and how everything kinda mirrors itself.

I just read through page one and it seems interesting. While nothing will change that the prequels were meh to me, its still a pretty neat idea.

I've always loved that aspect of the saga. Everything feels connected/mirrored. It's just one of many things that makes me so excited before every run-through of the series.

Also, I love the prequels as much as the originals. So sue me.

I got to, are we any closer to explaining this? No, not even close. Too much reading to say something. Too much fluff in there.

Admittedly I've only read the first two pages. This is a very long essay.

It's an intriguing take on the prequels from what I've read so far, and I don't doubt that George Lucas intended for certain sequences to "rhyme" with each other, because he has talked about this himself. But I will say this. No amount of justification will ever make the prequels good. The simple fact is that they failed to resonate with people, and no amount of theorycrafting is going to change that.

They did not resonate with SOME people. There are still a significant portion of people out there who like them.

 

[Greifen Ren]

They failed to resonate with most people. The essay itself even admits this.

And this essay is totally authoritative. lol.

This is a common writing technique, why is it something special?
