Part 7/10:
The conversation takes a philosophical turn when discussing the narrative and imaginative aspects of Star Wars. Attendees lament that modern reboots and films are increasingly about "filling in gaps" — trying to explain every detail of a universe that once thrived on mystery and imagination. This shift, they argue, caters to newer generations with shorter attention spans and less reliance on imagination, thanks to constant stimuli from social media and high-end graphics.
They contend that the mystique surrounding characters like Han Solo or Luke Skywalker was partly what made them compelling. Over-explaining or over-exposing these characters diminishes their appeal, turning iconic figures into predictable products rather than mysterious legends.
