Star Wars Legacy revealed - Page 4

I thought it was an interesting choice to have something on the film and not interview the "principles" of the whole thing. But, for the most part, it was a big Duh! I would almost call it propaganda but since I didn't spell that right - I'll just say crap. I did like hearing about Joseph Campbell. How about a 2 hour program on how he influances SW? Or better yet, just watch the multi-hour PBS interview he did before he died.

There was a show on the technology of SW before it which I think iSm was referring to (and missed). It was far superior.

I was contacted by the History Channel to be a part of this special, but was told later that they'd "refocused." I'm glad I wasn't a part of it, because even this die-hard fan tuned out after an hour while they tried to elevate that sad second trilogy to high art. I've heard all the tired Jos Campbell rehash a thousand times. What a waste of time. It was like watching some sad pimply kid's high school essay brought to docu-life. And I'm a True Believer. *shakes head*
