Star Wars background

John 2022-02-14 08:01:26

Under this background structure (human civilization is about to die), there are a lot of topics related to politics, ethics, and human nature that can be discussed. For example, under what circumstances will democracy and dictatorship be chosen, whether different races can coexist peacefully, the future of mankind, and so on.

What is a bit uncomfortable is that the existence of the Creator is presupposed, but if there is no Creator, mankind would not have been extinct several times. This situation can be said to be the aura of the overall protagonist (human), or the creator deliberately? If this is done deliberately, the joke is a bit big, with billions of lives, two civilizations are on the verge of extinction. In the end, it was reduced to a magical drama.

Some plots are too cumbersome, and people at colonial representatives meetings and press conferences are always chattering and annoying. The myth goes against the will of the creator. The dying leader did not die before finding a new earth. All in all, don't treat the audience as a fool, the previous pits should be filled in reasonably.
The play should be shorter. The discussion of values ​​and the narrative background is also complete. Once the character's character is established, it should be closed. The end does not need to be the creator, then it can basically be called a drama.


All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.
So say we all!

    7 points, thinking about whether to give three stars or four stars? I tangled for a while, but for the sake of low-cost TV movies, it's still four stars.

Battlestar Galactica quotes

  • [his decommissioning speech]

    Adama: The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high, but...

    [very long pause]

    Adama: sometimes it's too high. You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question "Why?" Why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder because of greed and spite, jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done, like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play God, create life. And when that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.

  • [on the Galactica's 1-MC after news of the attack came in]

    Adama: This is the Commander. Moments ago, this ship received word of a Cylon attack against our homeworlds is under way. We do not know the size or the disposition or the strength of the enemy forces, but all indications point to a massive assault against Colonial defenses. Admiral Nagala has taken personal command of the Fleet aboard the battlestar Atlantia following the complete destruction of Picon Fleet Headquarters in the first wave of the attacks. "How? Why?" doesn't really matter now. What does matter is that as of this moment, we are at war. You've trained for this. You're ready for this. Stand to your duties, trust your fellow shipmates, and we'll all get through this. Further updates as we get them. Thank you.
