Your approach to this analysis was entirely too serious, and I'm 100% here for it. Keep on serving the greater good.

:P

That's a good wisdom

People don't give George nearly enough credit for what he actually did. People always act like he had no idea what he was doing and everyone around him actually made the movie. Just "crazy old George" and his wild ideas when he did actually make these movies with purpose, and it wasn't just to add lore to the lore catalogue.

Ba babadaka

This is a really good analysis. I like how you detailed out how the Apex is a form of religion.

i hope you do this for dog of wisdom iii sometime

You can never claim boomer statues. Boomers are from the WWII era when the war ended and everyone “celebrated” with each other. Hence the baby boom. In comes the name “boomer.” So yeah.

Surely one of the best videos about Star Wars. Excelent job.

Excelent video and analysis. I hope you do more of this on Star Wars, and other franchises (MCU,DC, etc), and Dune given the paralels with Star Wars and being one of the sources of George Lucas.

It became about midichlorians which is too scientific in the prequel. Its sort of like what happened to Indiana Jones it went from the supernatural and religious artifacts to freakin Aliens and a nuked fridge. Then in Disney the Spear of Longinus was a fake. In Last Jedi Luke was like an apostate of the Force, it's time for the Jedi to end.

It did my tank at all in the Prequels.

If you want to experience a well-constructed deconstruction of Star Wars, then I suggest you play Knights of the Old Republic 2 instead of watching The Last Twitter. Apart from that, this is a fantastic video.

I am glad you got more views on this video, very deserved

This is one of the best Star Wars essays I’ve ever seen - I think you really hit the nail on the head on why SW has persisted and why Disney SW rings hollow.

The jedi can have emotions, but they are meant to be controled, not the other away around. Attachemants are avoided because the Jedi are professionals towards everyone. Their love is that of duty and of good service. To create permanent attachmeants hinders that professional servants. Now if they chose another path of professional servant and choose another path, say "retured: then their shouldnt be an issue with raising families, but its not the original goal. Its after service is done.

Joseph Campbell is actually overrated, watch Jessie Gender and Maggie May essays

Dumbass hardly-relevant memes blasting my eardrums out of nowhere made me stop watching the video

well ain't this guy a smart cookie

Active Murder to Instinct is a pretty massive leap. You can make a symbolic argument but it’s very forced from a narrative perspective and not very convincing. Same again with Anakin. This is not in relation to the nature of spirituality

Marvelous essay. I’m really impressed with your symbolic instinct, where you can so easily go beyond the surface level of Star Wars to the metaphysics it points to. Star Wars really is a modern myth in how it presents spiritual truths through story. I had seen this in the original trilogy and The Last Jedi, but your introspective look into Anakin’s journey helped me see the prequels in a new light. Well done! This reminds me a bit of what I was going for in my video exploring the Multiverse of Madness. I would love to chat about spirituality and symbolism in media sometime.

This is a damn good essay

As I say in all videos such as these.... given what Disney is doing to the IP right now... one would think the fandom to look a little more charitable at the Prequel trilogy.

If I had to narrow it down to one word, as to like I love Star Wars, I would go with "hope" Disney Star Wars has none of that, but the swelling themes from the OG is enough to remind me

The sad irony here is that George shared everything he invented with Kathleen Kennedy and like every female alive she nodded and pretended to have this deep appreciation of his concepts. she knew just enough to add a few words but allow George to do all the talking. and when it came time to sell his property just like the devil she came to him with a bag of money took his dreams and ripped him off. The relationship between women and men and how women continuously disrespect the men in their lives even going so far to believe that they are god. then to use terror tactics against the fans like she has the power to turn off reality if we don't accept the nonsense they are positioning as quality. the sith are in charge. witches and devil worshiping sadism. now we see who is consumed with sex and who truly is the superior. and it is because we are generous. because we can allow this woman, this fraud to enjoy her riches and she can live on her plan in her reality equal to the inventor of star wars, that's as close as she 'll get to being the creator of star wars. she thought she could just print money cause it has star wars on it. Well obviously that isn't so. she should purchase barbie and play with dolls if she just wants to make money. the interesting thing is by how kk mismanaged star wars the summer blockbuster and Hollywood as a whole the previous 40 years.... it's all coming to an end. she caused Hollywood to implode. now movies are not worth the film they are printed on. thanks a lot KK.

Amazing video! I watched all

The power of one sun the power of two

Good analysis The one demographic that is the least religious in the US are the progressive liberals and leftist demographics. These are also the people in charge of Star Wars Not that you have to be religious or non-left leaning to make Star Wars but moreso that not respecting nor truly understanding the religious component in relation to spirituality is why modern SW is dogshet. It is no longer concerned with metaphysics, as this analysis explores Instead, modern Star Wars is dedicated purely to New Age cult-like thinking (the individual stymied during the process) with philosophical materialism becoming the inherent 'good' which governs their understanding of the world......rather than that of a universal sense of spiritual fulfillment - which runs counter to their philosophical materialism and the frailties of man, in general. So yeah, since the people in charge of modern SW and the critics who reinforce them are philosophical materialists and hate religion/religious concepts, the art naturally reflects as such . They behave more like the Sith and the Empire. Therefore, it doesn't feel the same.

You may also find the KOTOR duology interesting as they go deeper into Jedi and Sith philosophies. In fact, the Sith are basically Nietzscheans while the Jedi are Buddhists.

Sin enslaves us. Yup

You are so wrong about the spirituality going down hill in the prequels

Well, according to leslie headland, if you think George is the reason his work is a masterpiece, "That's the autore myth. That's the misogyny. " starwars is now in the hands of neo feminist, moral relativest hacks..🤨🤡👎

This is what I haven been doing with my manga, no wonder its so star wars influenced! 4:00

What made the original Star Wars unique was that the film took itself seriously. Before that all Sci-Fi was played tongue in cheek. I walked out of the theater and both me and brother said 'That seemed real, it was just set in another place.' That is what made Star Wars special.

The Vader mask in TFA makes no sense whatsoever !

Vader is space Jesus/chosen because Dune.

If you actually listen to Campbell, Stat Wars has nothing to do with what he's talking about.

What if Jesus turned out to be hitler? I do not like the prequels also pretty sure he took from dune again for anakin

You know what I find funny about the whole "Chewie didn't get a medal" so called plothole whining? You know who else wasn't shown getting a medal? Everyone else in that battle. Only the two pilots/ship-captains who were not originally part of the rebelion did. The entire point of that cerimony-ritual is to be symbolic, and the pilot/captain symbolizes their ship and crew so that is who get an unspecific medal, "Hans' medal" is really his and Chewies, Luke's is his and R2's.

Good call. The straight answer is "they don't want it". Don't forget who makes these now. But even in the 90s w/Lucas directing they had lost the idea of spirituality in these films. That literally MADE them. It gave the desire to do GOOD & fight the good fight.

Start a cult or make a movie?

Do you feel you need to attack the prequels in order to make a Star Wars video? How was the spirituality affected in the prequels? Do you have ANY kind of argument for that? There is this subconscious fear in youtubers that stops them from being honest and direct about the prequels. The spirituality was explored EVEN FURTHER in the prequels because it was a much more tragic story, in the real sense of the word. It's a humble modern Oedipus and New Testament. Each Star Wars film released with Lucas revealed a much more deeper aspect of spirituality. You don't need to have a quota of hate towards the prequels in order to avoid backlash from your followers. People in general actually love the prequels.

THANK YOU for making this video. I've played with the idea of doing something like this for years now but could never bring myself to do it; frankly, you've done a better job than I could have anyway! Very, very cool to see.

yet another banger!!!! more research was put into this video than into the actual sequel trilogy methinks i do think that while the deconstruction of the myth in episode viii Could have been a fresh take on bringing spirituality back into the series, in the end presenting the concrete opinion of Jedi Bad instead of just hosting that discussion and leading the viewer to think for themselves feels more similar to the episode ix pr-style approach than to inviting actual spiritual discussion and serious criticism of the past Jedi and also ironically has a more sith-like air of 'this is Actually how it was because i said so' instead of 'let's discuss these old characters in a new light' but ultimately i don't know that the sequel trilogy could've ever presented spirituality in any meaningful way when the main priority was so clearly to make money above all else, including telling a good story excellent video though!!! i feel like i understand the films a lot more now

Seriously good spiritually focused analysis. The Skywalker story is very much a once in a eon myth making moment in the Star Wars universe. There's a reason why it all started out as being depicted in a thousands of years old book, Journal of the Whills.

first

'You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.' George understood this.

Excellent video! You seem to have very good insight on Star Wars.

Same thing happened with the Avatar series. Legend of Korra and every other adaptation completely lost everything that made ATLA special.

I would sign a petition to make you head of the spirituality department for Star Wars
