[QUOTE="dragoner, post: 7749883, member: 6943731"] Rogue One was one of my favorites, and the Last Jedi was ok, though it would have been better if the end of the psychic connection was a romance and not killing a room full of people. #Murica The whole Incel Jedi toxic fans thing definitely degrades the whole series, it's the fandom menace, nobody wants that out of their movie experience. Though I didn't go see Solo yet because it didn't look interesting, the actor of the young solo didn't strike me as solo-ish. I've always looked at Star Wars as an aesthetic, or "dirty" space opera, in contrast to Trek's clean. One main reason that these franchises keep getting made over original fare, is that the studio owns the IP, sfx and all, that was one of the big deals with Lucas leaving Hollywood and going up to Marin to found Industrial Light and Magic, his sfx company. Add fan investment, and there is a fairly large savings for movies such as sci-fi that special effects are an enormous cost. RPG's share similar themes story wise to some of these movies, same as something like Force 10 to Navarone, it's peripheral though. If played out exactly, often it would be either a railroad or one player grandstanding. [/QUOTE]
