With 15-20 years worth of time, and another shitty trilogy of films in the books I must ask...

a closer comparison would be the chi used in some kung fu films

in the starwars movies the force isnt magic but just a fact of the universe like gravity

star wars fucking sucks

Episode 1 and 2 were laughably bad and its incredible they are defended now.

Yeah. When you think about it the circumstances surrounding the Clone Wars make no sense.

if you ever managed to find a woman and have a kid, and that thing grew up to be less of a disappointment than you, it wouldn't make you any less of a worthless sack of shit.
hope that helps :)

The force was never sold as magic though, everybody thought it was a metaphysical/religious thing, which is what made it so groundbreaking, but turned out to be midichlorians. Star Wars have the most original designs possible. Like star destroyers or hoth shit or fucking Yoda people still care about him. Jedi Robes were surely inspired or borrowed by something but it is so interesting in how it is the fabric of what makes star wars cool. Darth Vader's helmet is also so iconic it deserves mention.

>magic but just a fact of the universe like gravity
OOF
In any fantasy, MAGIC is a universal law.
As for chi? Chi is magic or it's just nerve signals depending on the context. Like real life is just kung fu versus films being wuxia etc.
Even the midichlorians is an old idea.

>The force was never sold as magic though
Eh no. Vadar is accused of wizardry in the first films or jedis are i can't remember.
>Star Wars have the most original designs possible.
OOF no
Jedi order = Knightly orders/Monk warriors/Wizard school

Mandalorians - Roman helmets dude, or greeks if you prefer, hell we can go back to akkadians and sumerians if you want.

Yoda - little green alien is totally original, as is the vague philosphical laughing buddha mentor.

The imperial fleet is based off of ww1 and ww2. Except the walkers, that was pretty dope but still unoriginal.

The midichlorians is japanese as fuck.
