Not fortunate enough to have seen that.
Sounds triffic!
I have a Nephew who told me that if he ever gets to be emperor of some country, he will make the theme to “Star Wars”, his national anthem.
Quite true. Williams’ score for Star Wars was stunning, even if based mostly on Wagner, with a cribbing from Holst’s “Mars” for Darth Vader’s march.
Yeah, he definitely came across as being somewhat realistic regarding his political maneuverings. However, I’d probably say if he took the government by force, he’d be a bit more realistic, like how Lenin got into power (and believe me, he was definitely as totalitarian as Stalin was).
I’d probably say Scar rivals Palpatine in that regard, though.
Not to say Palpatine’s not a well-written character, he was.
Harry S Plinkett talked about this years before this lady did.
I saw the first one (IV) on opening night (skipped my last day in high school to be in line). When the lights came up, someone said "Thank God, I was so tired of meaningful movies."
