[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 7797616, member: 710"] YOu know, it's not that uncommon these days to do "fairy tale deconstructions" and show us that maybe just because your kiss woke up a princess that isn't the basis of a happy marriage or a stable government. But the "beauty" of it is ... It's just one possible continuation. But with a franchise like Star Wars - there is only the official one. There will be no others. If they decide that there is no happily everafter for your heroes, then you can't choose to ignore it and instead wait for the other movie were things turn out pretty good for them and the problems only start to happen long after they are gone, and it's time for new heroes to rise to the occasion. Maybe all this is an argument against long-term copyrights and trademarks. If Star Wars a "real" fairy tale, Disney could make some amazing Sci-Fi movies for the big scree, while CW makes some young adult relationship drama based around the Force, the Empire and the Rebels, and the BBC makes a mini-series about the origin of Darth Vader, and HBO makes a Star Wars retelling in a 21st century alternate reality. But as it is, you can only buy the one "official" "licensed" version, and if you don't like what they come up with, tough luck, that story is now forever part of it and is not going away. Creators like George Lucas or Gene Roddenberry (and the other creative people involved in giving their franchise life) certainly deserve the money they earned for their creation, but maybe at some point their creation still should go into the public domain so that others can expand on it, just as like people did with Sherlock Holmes or Shakespeare Dramas and Comedies or Homer's Odyssey.
