What went wrong?

Allegory is shit. Tolkien was right.

Yes anything in a film that bears some vague similarity to something from pop culture history must be a DIRECT REPRESENTATION of that thing.

He called his own works shit? Madman was more based than I thought.

nothing

I’m just going by Lucas’s own words here. Take it up with him.

it was Americanist Rebels against the British Empire
George was never a commie

>Still bitching about this movie over a year and a half later
God damn, you incels are insufferable.

Everything

In the intro to Lord of the rings, he clearly states he detests allegory whenever he detects it, and his work is NOT allegorical in nature.

Source? People also say Star Wars is "World War 2 in space" and they says it's a "Western but in space" and all sorts of other things. Actually Star Wars is influenced by all those things but isn't meant to be a direct representation of any of them. It is its own story to be appreciated on its own merits.

And yet LOTR is clearly allegorical. Sometimes people don't realize what they're making.

>sometimes people don’t realise what they’re making
Given this is a LJ thread, perhaps you’re correct.
Johnson still thinks he made something good.

He had a huge hateboner for nixon though. jar jar is W and palps is Cheney

So what is LOTR allegorical of? Themes are not allegories.

>So what is LOTR allegorical of?
modern Europe

Boomers got mad because a character they hadn’t seen in thirty years acted different thirty years later, and the Holdo maneuver (which doesn’t even need an explanation, however still does have one).

Based

This.
Imagine ever having thought TLJ ruined the character of Luke Skywalker.
It's just like people who didn't understand the point of Dougie Jones in Twin Peaks The Return.
They didn't disrespect the character you are just a brainlet fanboy plotfag dipshit.

shit tier opinion samefag

Can anyone explain to me how Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) flew back to the ship after being dead in space? She's not a Jedi so she doesn't have the powers. She's just a normal person. I don't understand it.

she does have powers, it’s how she ‘sensed’ Luke was in danger in Empire, she also proved oddly resistant to being tortured, was able to put ewoks at ease instantly, and was also a pretty good shot with a blaster.
Before It was kinda subtle, small things.
I remember when that Mary Poppins shit leaked here, we laughed, it couldn’t have been real.
