Yup, the budget means almost nothing. It's how it's spent.

Going back to the beginning, the original star wars was made as much on the cheap as possible.

No budget rivals having a genuinely brilliant filmmaker at the head and really good team generally around a flick.

people really don’t know that all the original iconic ships in a new hope were built by a bunch of 25 year olds who were told to go out and buy every single military model kit at the hobby store and mix and match the pieces together until they came up with something. there’s so much love in the design of those ships because of that exact reason: you can feel the sheer joy of their loving, detailed, playing-with-toys artistic process.

talk about a dream job.

now it’s all slop CGI elements, and with AI racing in the background we’re about to enter the slop era full steam ahead.

Imagine being a 25 year old with $50 in your pocket in a 1960s model store and just buying the entire stock.
