Why doesn't Star Wars feel the way it used to?
In this conversation, Ryan George (Pitch Meeting) and Sean Chandler discuss why modern Star Wars has struggled to recapture the magic of the original films. They explore the idea of **"creative inbreeding"**—when franchises stop drawing inspiration from the wider world and instead recycle their own ideas over and over again.
The discussion expands beyond Star Wars into Marvel, James Gunn, creative freedom, and why studios often learn the wrong lessons from successful movies. Ryan also explains why filmmakers like James Gunn succeeded by being trusted to bring their own unique vision rather than simply copying what came before.
If you're a fan of Star Wars, Marvel, or blockbuster filmmaking, this conversation dives into what makes great franchises thrive—and what causes them to lose their spark.
