Star Trek vs. Star Wars (and a collection of memes)

And which one of the three is only one who Q didn't implicitly or explicitly try to romance?

 

Because we are on page 666 of this thread, I thought I'd post something evil, the Acolyte.

 

well, given we've reached page 666...

 

I made the meme, but I took the quote verbatim from "Call Me Chato".

These things are not hard to spot. For instance, the female protagonists of both Disney Star Wars and Disney Indiana Jones bear an uncanny resemblance to an idealized Mary Sue version of Kathleen Kennedy. A sassy brunette with a British accent is living in the shadow of an older patriarch before breaking free and showing how awesome she is.

A little bit of this is not bad and its unavoidable.

George Lucas did not name his protagonist "Luke" by coincidence.

George Lucas liked custom cars and drag races at that stage in his life. He made the character of Han Solo and The Millennium Falcon based on his experience with (and as) a cocky car guy.

I could on because people analyzed George Lucas biases and life experiences and how they bled into Star Wars.

There is no clear place of where to draw the line between "good" and "bad" or "acceptable" and "unacceptable" but believe every producer, writer, and director needs at least one trusted voice to say, "the emperor has no clothes".
