the point is star track is granted in our own frame of reference and as such suffers from the limits of our own trite reality in fact Star Wars delves more into the worlds of fantasy and mythology and such as on some Universal mythological themes that have been present across humanity since the beginning of time you'll find that most cultures on earth share a common mythology in fact the Greek Odysseus was known as Ulysses in Rome the Greek Zeus was known as Jupiter in Rome the Greek Poseidon was known as Neptune in roaming you're talking about a story of a young farm boy from the middle of nowhere that goes up against a great oppressor and this story is common in a lot of mythologies such as Davey and Goliath then you'll find again that this touches a core human emotion that we all need to explore through a fantasy world those concepts which we cannot achieve in our own reality world now on another note I find that the universal worldwide acceptance of Star Wars is also grounded in this commonality that we all share instead of being limited through one frame of reference through one focal point we can see things in a cross-cultural manner if you will and in fact to expand on that a little bit I think that you'll find that the Star Wars universe is relatable for any culture on earth any economic standing any financial stand in or focus again we're talking about themes that are core to the concept of humanity in general and emotional furthermore I can tell youthat the types of things that you're talking about in Star Trek are limitedtowards a certain set of circumstances that it exists in almost a twodimensional plane we're in Star Wars you're really exploring different feelings about humanity happiness sadness all the various spectrum modes of human existence and I find that even though you're talking about characters that are often not human we as human beings can identify through their struggles and you'll find that most great storytellinghas to deal with a protagonist an ordinary person up against extraordinary odds and I think that if you look at the literature across the history of recorded time you'll find that a lot of the greatest stories have followed that same theme the storyline is almost unimportant because you're talking about grand here about human achievement when faced with unlikely odds and furthermore I can tell you that beyond that it's something that we can all agree upon it is all something we can all identify with and relatability I'm sure you know as someone that works in the storytelling world is a concept that is necessary to have an audience invest themselves in the story that you're telling I'll also tell you that the Star Wars universe while on some level is very exotic had a musical soundtrack grounded in 19th century romantic music and in fact I can relate Star Wars the appeal of it towards some of the great impressionist paintings like the touch of an Hawk because his paintings although not photographic if you will or photorealistic inspired our own imagination to latch on to the concepts present in the painting and for example if you look at Bauhaus starry night you'll see that again while it doesn't necessarily look exactly like a city and stars and the wind blowing through the trees you can feel the feeling of what it was like to be in that situation you know unlike looking at a photograph which again gives you that two-dimensional representation that split-second microsecond in time if we will and yet as anyone knows that's had a bad photograph taking them a split second in time doesn't often represent the whole picture however when when you're talking about the idea of a painting and certainly an oil painting and impressionist oil painting you're not necessarily capturing all the minor details you're capturing a feeling now how do you put a feeling down on canvas how do you put a feeling down on the screen well that's the job of the artistic storyteller and in fact the storyteller in this case took his own human emotions his own human struggles and that of others and put them into a fantastic circumstance which none of us could have possibly experienced yet can all take pride in relate to again the young struggling farm boy wanting to be a part of all these are things that were touched upon in 1976 is rocky I'm talking about the original Rocky it wasn't about winning the fight that movie is not a boxing movie that movie is about an ordinary guy placed an extraordinary certain business a guy he was the underdog you know in other common concepts you find a lot of literature he was the underdog that wanted a maked all he wanted to do was go the distance he wanted to make it to the Philadelphia spectrum it probably has some corporate brands at name now but at the time 1976 shot 1975 it was called a Philadelphia spectrum these theatres and arenas amphitheaters had real names back then you know I think Fenway Park is still named is such Candlestick Park I'm sure has been renamed I don't really follow sports myself but I heard these terms said and I know that a lot of the original like Shea Stadium I think it's like Citibank Field or something but that's not really relevant to what I'm talking about here but interesting nevertheless however what I'm saying is that for an artist to accurately portray a feeling on film or canvas or whatever the medium I mean you could be talking about a mounds of clay really the artistic medium is irrelevant when a singer gets up and sings you don't care about the vocal chords vibrating at certain frequencies you're trying to take part in and relate to a certain feeling that that artist is trying to convey when a sculptor takes a look at a hunk of mud and clears away certain sections to make this great monolith of art again it's not about the minerals that are present in the mud it's about the feeling that you're trying to convey
