"Coppola encouraged his protege to direct his own movies" -snip
Did not know that, could be that we have Star Wars because of Coppola's encouraging hand. Kinda cool.

The praise for Star Wars comes from special effects.
No, Star Wars (1977) and Empire Strikes Back are both generally considered two of the greatest movies of all time (though Lucas only directed the former).
But yes Lucas always broke bounds and changed in special effects. That includes the Prequels. Not just special effects, but the way he used them. Love or hate the guy you can't really deny the guy has a hack of an imagination.

I'm on both sides of this because tbh I don't think the man himself has much imagination. He had the wisdom to put trust in people with great imagination and would approve the ideas that he liked. Sorry but it's like watching Musk act like he's the mother-brain behind SpaceX and Tesla

The practical effects in Star Wars and Empire are mind-blowing.

They usually don't stand candidates against the SNP but that might have changed since the Bute House Agreement was scrapped by Humza Yousaf. I vote for them in Holyrood in the 2nd vote proportional representation seats. But again, they didn't stand candidates against the SNP in the 1st vote seats.
Actually I just checked my candidate list. No Greens.
I actually know the Labour candidate in my seat personally and professionally. He's a good guy. Unfortunately he's anti Scottish independence so he won't be getting my vote.
My only option at this point in Alex Salmond's Alba Party but it's essentially a wasted vote. They probably won't get more than 1,000 votes and may be lucky not to lose their deposit.

Nobody expected Blair to follow suit with the Iraq invasion, considering it's Bush... now imagine if Trump wins, invades Crimea, Yemen or some other shit show and Starmer's just like "special relationship, y'all!" Yeah, imagine...
