This movie often gets credit as the inspiration for Star Wars and you could definitely see it, especially in the opening 30 minutes which focus entirely on the bumbling peasants/droids. It's not The Hero's Journey though, so it actually played like a brand new Star Wars for me . So right there we are already off to a good start. What surprised me was just how funny this movie was. The trials and tribulations of the peasants is presented in a humorous way, and while they are on the good team, we can never feel too bad considering they plot failed betrayals at every opportunity and their greed constantly leads to them ending up in firing range of the enemy. The entire team does what they need to do to win though, and the finale is exciting and rewarding because of it.
