"But where's that light coming from" BITCH IT'S FANTASY WHO CARES
Ok but also from a like, theatrical storytelling perspective, there’s a thing called “willful suspension of disbelief” which is basically the concept that in order to let ourselves be immersed and enjoy a story, we need to turn off our knowledge that it’s all fake anyway.
like yes, we all *know* it’s unrealistically bright for a night time war, but it needs to be so we can SEE the story being told, and the lighting designer used blue light to show it was night time. We KNOW that Sir Ian isn’t actually a wizard but we SUSPEND that DISBELIEF because we want to be entertained.
there are some people you can’t watch star wars and mcu movies with. yeah we KNOW there’s no sound or fire in space but that wouldn’t make the movie very interesting!!!! also you know what else isn't in space? a fully orchestrated soundtrack played by 87 people! but no one questions that cause you accept it's part of the movie!
also people on reddit CONSTANTLY talk about how anakin and obi-wan commit war crimes when they fake surrender to give them an open shot or stall for time. WHY THE FUCK WOULD A GALAXY “FAR FAR AWAY” AND “A LONG TIME AGO” BE SUBJECT TO THE RULES OF PLANET EARTH
