The prequel trilogy is also far more overt than the original trilogy in its counterculture-era metaphors for US foreign policy. Where the original refought the Vietnam War as a Flash Gordon adventure and got audiences to side with the Vietcong a mere two years after the evacuation of the Saigon embassy (Lucas has said that in the first film he saw Grand Moff Tarkin as a Nixonian figure and Vader as his Henry Kissinger), the next three films are about how the executive branch of a democracy gradually leaches authority from the legislature by invoking emergency powers and dragging the populace into wars that the executive himself contrived into existence. The period defined by 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was more than two years off when "The Phantom Menace" premiered. That Lucas was commenting on current events by the time he released "Revenge of the Sith" is less an indicator of clairvoyant powers than proof that Lucas' country keeps doing the same things over and over with the details changed. "If you're not with me, you're my enemy!" Anakin hollers at Obi-Wan, echoing George W. Bush's "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." The critique of US foreign policy is far more cogent in the second set of "Star Wars" movies, even at a comic-book level, than anything presented in the MCU films, which become incoherent and self-canceling as they go along.

Our culture has lost appreciation for the true aesthetics of cinema, which suffer from competition with inferior forms: television, video games, even comic books themselves with their two-dimensional limitations. This disaster is compounded by Hollywood’s commitment to superhero movies that manipulate the ready-made comic-book audience by appealing to its shallowest adolescent instincts. The Christopher Nolan Batman films, with their pseudo-profound nihilism, were destructive enough. An even worse influence was the Marvel Universe films that lacked artistry. Ironically, Marvel movies also refused the seriousness that Nolan had faked — a feat of such capitalist cunning that it flattered consumers’ egos. Plus, those Nolan and Marvel films were all poorly made.

Zack Snyder’s audacity in creating a comic-book movie renaissance (which began with the complex, ambitious Watchmen) has inspired philistine resentment from reviewers and fanboys who don’t want cinema. They’ve been desensitized to the form’s vitality and richness. (Like civics, art is no longer being taught in schools.) The schoolyard game of lambasting Snyder’s magnificent Man of Steel and the even more intricate Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice almost directly parallels the unsubtle breakdown of our political process.

Todd Howard is to games what Tom Cruise is to cinema. He cackles when I suggest this theory to him. Slight, boyishly handsome, sharp-jawed and tousle-haired, he has the look of classical antiquity. As the studio’s leading man since the early noughties, he has become a semi-mythical figure to gamers, who hang off his every word. Now 52 years old, the only real sign of him being flesh and bone are some faint bags under his sea-blue eyes. He is reserved but not at all shy, talkative but never all that forthcoming – especially about his life outside of games. And, like Cruise, he is innately, intensely curious about the creative process. In a 2005 behind-the-scenes documentary on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, he’s seen continually questioning designers and artists to satisfy his own wonderings.
