(no subject)

A deep SW thought: I think we're so used to Star Wars being called Star Wars that we overlook what a silly name it is. STAR WARS!!! All the other movies (except TROS IMO) have titles that make sense in terms of their subject matter (well, I guess AOTC is also slightly dubious in terms of what it's actually about) and are pretty solid titles. But Star Wars is kind of lovably ridiculous.

I think the fact that it just so lends itself to being shouted gleefully in all-caps with trumpets behind lends it an irreproachable aura of consequence :D

[anghraine]

Haha, it does certainly lend itself to that :P

It really is! And so - I mean it doesn't make sense exactly, but it probably does convey the vibe.

[anghraine]

Yeah, it's definitely more about the vibes! And it is very SW to go for the sweeping feel of things than what literally makes sense.
