I don't care about the democratization of heroism or any of that gay shit.
Star Wars was just supposed to be a really fucking cool space-age Hero's Journey and it didn't need to be anything more complicated than that.
The EU was where authors were allowed to get complicated and introspective and all that shit.
The EU was where anyone could be a hero.
Fuckin' sick of this "WEHH, WE NEED TO GIVE ANCIENT STORY-TELLING TROPES A MODERN SHAKE-UP"
Those tropes have been around for thousands of years. The modern story-telling shake-up has been around for about twenty years and everyone is already sick of subverted expectations and deep-dives into the psychology of who-gives-a-shit.
These faggot writers have already outlived their own magnum opus of story construction.
And the Hero's Journey continues on.
From the Epic Of Gilgamesh to beyond.
