   George Lucas' entire approach is to make it up as he goes.
   
   A bit of trivia he constantly lies to obscure.

     @Orkin_Awk @judgedread One of the problems with people getting used to capeshit plots and CGI is the loss of appreciation for 'slow burn' horror

     @TrevorGoodchild @Orkin_Awk @judgedread any kind of slow burn storytelling has pretty much gone by the wayside, regardless of genre.
     
     Now everything is lobotomized and every character talks like a bratty 17 year old girl

     @judgedread It's impressive how directors who hit it big got a spark of inspiration from one obscure story, maybe even a single piece of concept art . . . and ran with it
     
     Ridley Scott saw 'Necronom IV' (1976) in an art display and immediately knew he had to hire HR Giger as the main designer for 'Alien'
     
     Brilliant move

     @DW2 @TrevorGoodchild @Orkin_Awk @judgedread Look at the difference with legacy sequel movies.
     
     Exorcist vs the 2020 one
     Jurassic park vs world
     
     and so on, slow burn, so much build up for the reveal, and all worth it. Now, it's action, action, banter, action
