Reading Response 5/29

5/29

If you were not an avid star wars fan and knew the movies really well would you be able to understand the connections he is making in this article to the star wars movies?

As a person who just watches star wars for fun and do not have the whole series memorized, this article was hard to follow. All of the analyzing that was done in the article focused on such small details and moments that it was hard to take this article seriously if you could not follow along. I felt like the author was making assumptions about George Lucas and the intentions he had when writing and directing this movie, and to me that is not fair. He focused so much on his life and how it corresponds to the movie and the social issues it brings up that I don't know how this is not an analyzation of George Lucas's intentions. If the author would have focused on more concrete facts and more obvious social issues I would have liked this article more and respected his opinion and writing.
