Here's a digital painting I did in 2015 after watching an old Star Wars movie and feeling like the franchise has lost its "spirit". The new movies... I'm not even sure entirely why... but they just don't have the same good feeling of the older ones. I'm unsure if it's the relentless tidal wave of money over passion, maybe even they keep trying to outdo previous episodes, but the original movies are timeless yet the newer ones I feel just aren't. In fact whatever the latest one was (already forgotten the name) I fell asleep watching 😄
Anyway, here's my image, I hope you like it :)
I totally missed the #trialbycomics as I just stumbled upon it. I would've love to enter a comic but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Next time for sure!
I can't say a lot about the new movies vs the old ones, all I know is recently if I've gone to a movie I've actually been watching the cg and if the characters are actually interesting I may then pay more attention. For Star Wars specifically I got annoyed with the whiny entitled fans online and just stopped going anywhere (including the actual movies!) where I might encounter them XD
Do robots have spirits? Do androids dream of electric sheep? :O Love the light coming from the "spirit" lighting everything anyway, and also my favourite shades!

Thanks @ryivhnn happy that you liked it :) Yeah I hear ya about the fans. At this point the Star Wars franchise could put out any steaming pile of turd and the mega fans would go mental over it. I enjoy it but not crazy about it.
Haha maybe he dreams of counting Ewoks or those little fockers that captured them, I think Jawas?

I agree with you, the newer movies seem to lack something... they feel like repeats of previous episodes, they don't feel original?
A beautiful artwork ! In the best way it makes me feel kinda sad and nostalgic. I wanna hug the little guy :3

Thanks @alannapendragon! I think everything tends to head that way huh. Even the new Transformers and Ninja Turtles, things I grew up with as a kid, they just don't have the same vibe now.
Hahaha yeah R2D2 will always be the loveable robot!

WHOA! Love the Steem Artists logo thing. I hadn't seen it before but it is impossible to miss.
Poor R2... it really isn't the same... but we might be the worst possible people to give an opinion on the new movies... I must have watch the original trilogy like a 100 times when I was a kid (we didn't have many videos... my sister probably watched Grease 300 times, every Saturday morning...). We're probably too attached to the originals. I did quite enjoy Rogue one though, I'd almost be happier for them to branch off so it's same enough but different enough for us.
Anyways... great work dude! You really are quite the artiste!

Haha yeah @aussieninja it's pretty out there hey! Hope it's not too spammy, I try to not go too hard with it lol.
Yeah I agree, I'm stuck in my old-man "things were way better back when" kinda mindset. Funny my wife and kids watch Grease at least once a week lol. I'll have to check out the other Star Wars but probably will just fall asleep. I need me some thinking movies, like Black Mirror haha.

Thanks my bro! Yeah they just had the honest vibe about them or something. I'm not even sure. I reckon it's because of the money and they keep on trying to make more. Things tend to lose a lot of their vibe when it's mostly about the money. Sure we gotta live but those newer movies were just, "Let's spend more to make more! Suckers will watch anyway!"

Agreed. Ofcourse i feel the movie industry has been that way for a while now.. all the shitty remakes and terrible sequals.. for example the fast and the furious movies, they are on like number 96 lol.. seems like every year they shit out another piece of crap that somehow breaks records?? Dont people realize how bad those movies have gotten!?! They are painful to watch! lol.

Hey @spaceginger, I really enjoyed your post, epic peace of art. I am to a big fan of Star Wars, and I also feel that Star Wars are missing a key element and I feel there is a few things which the fans needs. Gave you a upvote and a follow, if you like Star Wars and comic book related post please feel free to come have a look at my blog. Once again thank you for the post I really enjoyed it.
