@b_rain I really wanna smack the sexist Star Wars fans over the head with the reality of what Marcia Lucas did. She took a movie with terrible pacing, an amateurish script, and absolutely no tension in the third act and cleverly dropped/re-edited scenes together with some ADR to miraculously create an amazing movie out of it. The entire franchise only happened because of Marcia Lucas in the 11th hour.

(not to zero in on this one thing because other accomplishments like Ada Lovelace inventing computers like 100 years before they could even hope to exist is bonkers :blobfoxheartcute:​ )

And if you don't believe, listen to the radio play version. It's interesting, they sorta saved it in the end, but it's a much less well paced production.
