"Old" SW vs. "New" SW

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2003)

It seems to me that the reason the second trilogy does not seem to resound as much as the first did is a matter of subject matter. The first trilogy is about a search for spirituality and place in the universe, and is directed by a passoinate, ingenious young man. The second is primarily about politics and sociological philosophies, and is directed by a slightly jaded, ingenious old(er) man.
