HobbitFoot, 8 months ago But I’m saying that the world becomes more gritty because it is getting explored more and it isn’t resetting to the status quo. Star Wars has the journey of a farm kid becoming a laser sword wizard by way of being a fighter pilot. To explain the MacGuffin of the plans, you now have to explain rebel spies, how the Empire does R&D, and why that flaw exists. To explain why one of the characters in the prequel became a rebel spy, you know how have to explain how he got radicalized. There is no way you can keep it a jaunty adventure by drilling that deep.
