    I mean didn’t they kinda get lucky on the first movie? I saw Rogue 1 as more of a return to form.

      Yes, but the meme is that a wide variety of inspiration from good movies was used to create Star Wars and then Star Wars was used to spawn out a bunch of stuff without any apparent additional inspiration.

      Might not be literally true for every subsequent movie included in the meme, but the overall point is accurate.

      Unpopular Opinion but Solo was the closest to A New Hope in form as far as I was concerned.

      Take out the fan service and it was all the Yeehaw Space Cowboys that ANH was.
