a plot in star wars. The fall of the jedi in episodes 1-3 could be considered
a plot in star wars. Their rise again at the training of Luke after Vader defeats the Dark Emperor is
a plot. They keep it interesting by working in such a way that there are always new characters to introduce and new events to show in such a way that no one episode of it feels like 'that one in the middle where some stuff happens'.
This is the main reason Star Wars is among the most famous fictions of all time. It doesn't have one universal plot, it just has one universe in which an endless number of stories unfold, all working into each other. For example, Wraith Squadron is about Wedge Antilles in his workings to make a better star team. This is the
same Wedge Antilles that helped destroy the first Death Star. Aside from that, by working the way they did to create such an elaborate world, many many opportunities for good games ect are opened. Things such as KOTOR ect. In fact, I once complained to a friend about how a 3rd Starwars Battlefront should be made, and he pointed out to me that all the major battles and plot were covered in number 2, leaving no material for them to put in a third game. But starwars doesn't just have that one plot. Room is left for countless battles yet untold that are, at the moment, faded into the background of the starwars saga.
The whole point of this rant is that there
is no middle book in star wars. Its all an elaborate universe in which no one part is the beggining or end, but
a beggining or
an end.
And I think the discussion in this thread is bascially dead now. Its mostly just people coming in and saying the same thing, that Galaxy is too easy, they need to stop leading players by the nose, and we want our open levels back.
SCREW YOU MIYAMOTO. HAVE YE NO DIGNITY LEFT IN THIS INDUSTRY?
