< Wookieepedia:Quote of the Day
"Almost all [the screenplays I read], practically all of them, miss the point. They don't understand that science fiction is not just lots of rumbling around in space. The reason the Star Wars Trilogy has the power that it has is because George [Lucas] was clever enough to tie in to mythic storytelling. The mythic fairy tale element is what makes Star Wars unique. It reaches us in our unconscious mind. Almost all the screenplays I read are trying for conscious excitement: plenty of noise, the movement, action, violence. The Star Wars Trilogy has the action, but it has something more. It reaches us on an almost dream level that goes beneath the conscious, the social, the so called logical. Stories about fathers and sons, sisters and brothers, families…are very basic and make for emotional storytelling."
―Irvin Kershner, director of The Empire Strikes Back[src]
