    Once upon a time, this would be difficult to determine. But with today's computers and tracking, I am sure streaming services can track everything. So, Jeff subscribes to Disney + the day Andor comes out. He watches all of the episodes, but nothing else. I am sure they can track this. It is my understanding that RUclips gives you a ton of metrics on your viewership. I would assume streaming services have more information about their viewers and what they watch, when they watch. So, I am sure they can track the impact of a show. However, we are making the assumption that the only reason to make a show is for profit. Maybe that was the case in previous times, but now, I am sure shows get made due to social pressure, and pressure from investors to support "The Message".

    Just in case part of my point is taken wrong from the video, I am not saying storytelling in general can't have moral complexity. It is one element of storytelling and like any element it has its place. With Star Wars, I believe that place is not with the Jedi and Sith. They can be put in morally complex situations, but they themselves are fairly black and white. The drama comes from them trying to stick to that in the face of complex situations.

    Outstanding movie, very creepy, music supports the creep, script keeps you wondering, excellent actors, and Kurt Russell, 10/10. The prequel I liked also, 8/10. I have seen the original several times, a product of its time special effects wise, early 50's, still creepy, decent acting and again, the script supports the creep. And Jim Arness, Marshall Dillon of Gunsmoke fame, play's the creature at the very end of the movie. 6/10 by today's standards, 9/10 for the 50's.

    I agree with traviswillis5515, Star Wars is a movie universe created to represent good vs evil. The Jedi vs the Sith. The Empire vs the Rebellion. Government rights vs personal freedom. The original trilogy is also about redemption. I wish Star Wars as a whole had stayed with those concepts. There is plenty of entertainment out there about gangs, hoods, drug dealers, good people falling, and the like. One of the biggest reasons Star Wars worked, in my opinion, was the good guy vs the bad guy. The good guy is outclassed in most areas, yet he manages to succeed with the odds stacked against him. How I wish the Star Wars universe had stuck with those themes instead of taking the route they have chosen. And I agree with you Bob, in order to create Star Wars for "Modern Audiences" they had to turn the Jedi into self-centered fools. Part of being an adult is putting on your big boy pants and admitting when you made a mistake. Lost on the Modern Audience.

      @charbroilbeefcake6095 I've seen a few interviews with George Lucas where he talks about part of his motivation. He mentions Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey but also religion. He mentioned he was a religious person and he wanted to make something that had religious like qualities (but not wanting to replace religion). So that's paet of why it is black and white morality.

  • @traviswillis5515
    @traviswillis5515 5 дней назад

    Great discussion Bobby. I know the recent Disney Star Wars have muddied the waters on morality in this Universe, and it sucks in my opinion. I believe this is a universe that benefits from clear heroes and clear villains (unlike some other universes who benefit from more complexity like Dune and BattleTech).i can only think of one instance in Star Wars where Moral Complexity actually worked, and that was the Republic Commando book series. I think there needs to be a clear good and evil, and then you can have a couple branches coming from there that get more depth to what good and evil is in the Star Wars Universe

    • @geekcabal2599
      @geekcabal2599 5 дней назад

    I thought this movie was awesome. I am a huge fan of horror, sci-fi, b-movies of the 80s and 90s… and although I felt like I had seen some scenes from it when I was younger, I didn’t remember it. Just watched it on Tubi. One of my all-time favorite movies lol. Not award-winning by any means, but just straight fun. The plot regarding Cody being the leader of the gang and going to jail, and then getting out dealing with his younger brother that is now wanting to join the gang… reminds me a lot of American History X.

    In my opinion, one of the best movies ever made. Almost perfect. Grace, betrayal, redemption, forgiveness, bravery, lust, pride all in the forefront of this epic. Outstanding fight scenes. Outstanding fight scenes. Did I say outstanding fight scenes? Fantastic weapons and armor. Great cinematography. The best classical score of any movie. Overall 10/10. My favorite scenes, two - After the grail is found, Arthur and the land are one again. It goes from famine in the land to Arthur and his knights riding to the battle with Mordred, thru a grove of trees, cherry blossoms covering them as they ride, O' Fortuna playing in the background. Truely epic. The second, the Knights are getting tromped by Modred and his army, and a cry of "Lancelot", who had abandoned Camelot in shame 20 years before, goes up among the Knights. Lancelot, dressed in rags, wielding a club, comes in laying waste to Modred's armored knights, screaming "Arthur". In my opinion, the perfect scene of a fallen Paladin coming back for forgiveness and redemption. Brings tears to my eyes. All people are human and make mistakes, even if you are the perfect knight, but can be forgiven and redeemed. There have probably been a thousand versions of the King Arthur myth written. In many it is Lancelot's son, Galahad, who finds the Grail, as he was the only pure knight. Percival could only see the grail as if it was behind a veil. Interesting and unsettling tid bit about the movie, Igraine, the young lady that Uther Pendragon seduced, graphic nude sex scene and all, was played by Katrine Boorman, director of Excalibur John Boorman's daughter. Ither didn't even take off his armor. Must have been an interesting day on the set. Again, in my opinion, one of the ten best movies ever made.

      It is an excellent movie. The scene with after Arthur is healed from the Grail and rides out to face Mordred is a great scene. I'm partial to when Arthur and Mordred kill each other with the red sun in the background, from a visual standpoint. From an acting/story standpoint I think I favor when Arthur apologies for needing to be more than a man and not being able to be a proper husband. I did not know that about who played Igraine.

    So I don't still watch Star Wars, or any Disney, because of them canning Gina Carano and then them getting involved in politics. But, the sequel trilogy wrecked the original three. In the Last Jedi when Han and Chewie made their first appearance, I got goose bumps and teary eyed. Then it went down from there. Waiting decades for that moment, with hundreds of books, comics, video games and four movies, an absolutely massive amount of content. Disney - Naw, we don't need that crap, we are more talented and know what is best. We are going to reimagine Star Wars. So Ben is Han's kid, not Lukes. No Solo twins. No Mara Jade. Don't need that crap. We don't need YOU, the old fans. Get with the 21st century. Rey has spent her entire life as she knows it on a planet as a scavenger but jumps in the Falcon and flies it better than Han. Then shows up Han mechanically, knowing the Falcon better than he does. Luke throws down his lightsaber rather than turn to the dark side, then runs and hides after bringing down the emperor. Oh, and I'll kill my nephew while I'm at it, I had a bad dream. Son kills dad. If I had been the writer of this trash, I would have at least had Chewie, who has been known to rip off folk's arms when getting beat in space chess, after seeing his lifelong companion killed, absolutely destroy the Storm Troopers, driving heads into shoulders, ripping arms off and leveling the facility single handedly. Then Luke tosses away the light saber Rey bring him and dies in the most pathetic way possible. OK, so Star Wars ain't what it used to be. It ain't for me. Mando had hope, especially when Luke came for Baby Yoda, another goosebump teary eyed moment. Haven't seen any Star Wars since. Pathetic writing, driving a message antithetical to the vast majority of the fans, changing the lore, and telling us we don't need you -we are activists, the gayest, nerds are gay, 3PO and R2 are in a gay relationship, the force is female crap, has gotten Disney their wish, I left. Unless someone comes along and buys the IP, Star Wars is no longer for me. I watched this because I am friends with some of you guys, not because of the topic. It was nice while it lasted, and I still have the original stuff.

      I do share some of that sentiment and I do sometimes wonder why I keep watching. I assume, especially after my videos on The Acolyte, some people watching are wondering why I keep watching. And I guess I wanted to be clear about why we keep talking about Star Wars despite obviously severely disliking parts of it. So, here we are. Thanks for the comment.

      Your missing out on Andor and the Bad Batch. These two shows like the Mandalorian tells us that not everything can be solved with a lightsaber. There are good things in life, as well as bad things in life. If we cannot take the good with the bad we become stuck in place, and therefore afraid to innovate. Take for example George Lucas himself. After completing his first three masterpieces of Star Wars, all we had for the greater part of 20 years were rehashes and remakes of the first three. It was only when he created the next three that he was faced with harsh criticism because by then he wasn't creating a fun movie, something for us to wonder about about our very far off past, in a very distant galaxy far far away (any longer) but movies that compete with the first three, in wanting to be more, i.e more glorious, more space-opera like, more this or that. Yet if we look and observe for instance at the book of Bobba Fett, the Mandalorean, Andor and the Bad Batch, what we see are folks and individuals who are like us, with real world problems. Where if we observe how their lives are like in comparison to our own, we may find that what they go through with the Empire, droids, clones, and ai, we may well soon encounter these things too (again) in the very near and distant futures. Life is filled with negatives and positives. Negatives are not necessarily bad because how else can we grow or we can recognise something is bad if we cannot weigh both opposing poles - good and bad, positive and negative, poorly written from the better well thought out written, to the caringness to give a good product from one that only serves to make a profit, etc.

      @@jasondismuke4837 Without having seen the videos in question, I wouldn't put any stock into that unless it came from LEGO. I have seen numerous items (products, conventions, etc.) where people start claiming it's going to end because a contract end date is known, even though that contract is an extension of an old contract illustrating what will likely happen again at the end of that contract. More importantly, it would be financially irresponsible to announce that they are parting ways a decade before they do. But I could be wrong.

      @saltylemonton5537 I'm definitely down for Space to make a comeback. I think this latest incarnation, even though it's technically part of City, is testing the waters to see if it can coexist with Star Wars. Previous attempts at Space via City were "now" or "near future" so could plausibly be the LEGO City version of NASA. The latest version is more futuristic and has aliens. It's a lot more in line with older Space themes. Kind of like the difference between City Mining sets and Rock Raiders.
