So, it's kind of well known that both Star Wars and Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns were heavily influenced by Kurosawa. Further, both Lucas and Leone drew character archetypes from traditional westerns, though of the two Leone was more focused on refining and critically reevaluating his influences than Lucas. And while spaghetti westerns tend to be vastly superior to the Star Wars trilogy in every respect - from cinematography, through acting and script to music - the Star Wars franchise still has legions of drooling fans despite being an empty, cynical, profit oriented husk for most of its existence, and few people seem to care about spaghetti westerns. why do u think that is, is it mostly because nerds need to be able to play with dolls to connect with something

imo Vader was never Luke's father. Jedi are able to convince people of almost anything just by mental suggestion.

Westerns were actually the Star Wars of the 50s, every goddamn little kid around had fake guns and a hat and boots and dressed up their minority friends like Indians and beat the poo poo out of them and called them fags.

Star Wars takes place in industrial, "modern" milieu which is more immediately relatable to modern Americans than the old west or god forbid feudal Japan. The Civil War might as well have been a million years ago, but Star Wars is pretty much happening right outside your door.
