Star Wars & Story Structure
Happy birthday, Star Wars! The present I was hoping to get you is not quite ready yet. So instead, inspired by some debates on episode 7 (e7), I’ve recently read, I’ve decided to analyze why the original films of SW worked, and the new stuff less so.
Note that this does not need to affect your enjoyment of any of these movies. However, neither does your enjoyment wash away these stories’ flaws. I myself love to death the movie Pacific Rim but even I can admit that it has some flaws. Likewise even when they are great, we will be cracking these movies open and looking at how they work underneath which can spoil some people’s enjoyment.
Proceed with caution. Extreme nerdity ahead.
SW: Rogue One – round 2
Wonder why I’ve been doing so much Star Wars lately? Yep – Rogue One released to the public and I finally got a copy (steelbook, of course – because I’m THAT guy). So time to top it off until Christmas time when we get to do Star Wars fever all over again!
How Star Wars episode 3 should have been
Previously on “nate rants about stuff only he cares about.”
What is tricky about episode 3.
For my blog, episode 3 assumes the dreams linked above were made. Hopefully the symbolism in this one isn’t too obvious. I’ve also included a few dialog points for scenes that I think what is said by the characters is important. Also emphasis on this being a rough draft. If I ever come back and reread this I might change a few things.

How Star Wars Episode 2 should have been
Yeah things have been too busy for me to get around to writing it as a script, but inspired by the “how would you do the prequels” from the sfdebris forums I thought I would do an overview here. If you want me to go into a long treatise about why episode 2 failed as a story, just let me know.
