Kudala-dala kumnyele okude kakhulu, kude kakhulu…
Yaqala njalo ke eyona franchise yesayensi inkulu eyaziwayo eluntwini. Iimfazwe zeNkwenkwezi zaphinda zavuselela uhlobo lwe-sci-fi kwaye ziyaqhubeka nokudlula kulindelo kude kube namhla. Isibonise indalo iphela ejongene neengxaki ze-epic isilinganiso: umlo wentando yesininzi ngaphezulu kolawulo lobuzwilakhe, ungquzulwano lwakudala phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi, kunye nosapho olusokoliswa ziziphelo zabo ezingenakuphepheka. Kwaye ke, nanjengoko ibizama ukugqitha imiba yexesha lethu kwaye isenza ingxelo ebanzi ngakumbi, i-Star Wars ayiphumelelanga ukubaleka-okanye nokusombulula-iingxaki zobuhlanga, isini, kunye nokumelwa okusicelomngeni namhlanje.
I-Tatooine, ilizwe eliyintlango elinabemi bomthonyama elihlala kuphela iintlobo ezimbini ezinomdla, yiplanethi yokuqala esiyibonayo kuthotho. Abantu abasele beyizinzisile ngabona baphambili kwimpucuko emhlabeni, kwaye enye yeentlobo zemveli ingaphezulu kobuhlanga beBedouin kunye nabanye oonothwal 'impahlana. Yaziwa kuphela njengaBantu abaSanti kwi-trilogy yoqobo, baboniswa njengabakhohlakeleyo, bothuka ngokulula, kwaye besilela kwizakhono zokwakha ulwimi olubhaliweyo.
Ngapha koko, igama labo elisemthethweni, Tusken Raiders, livela kwinto yokuba esinye sezizwe zabo sasihlasela rhoqo inqaba egama linguTusken malunga neminyaka elikhulu ngaphambi kokuqala Ithemba elitsha. Ngokutsho kukayise wesibini ka-Anakin Skywalker, bahamba njengamadoda, kodwa zikhohlakele, zizilo ezingenangqondo. Emva kokuxhela isizwe sonke sabahlaseli ukusindisa umama wakhe oxhwilwe, u-Anakin ngokwakhe uthi, Bafana nezilwanyana, kwaye ndabaxhela njengezilwanyana.
I-Tusken Raiders ludidi lwesibini lomphambukeli esihlangana nalo kwi-Star Wars, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiyiyo kuphela ingxaki ye-caricature. Kwakhona kufumaneka kwiTatooine yiWatto, umnini-khoboka ongumnini wekhoboka otshwabeneyo. Zeziphi izinto zobuhlanga awathi uGeorge Lucas wagqiba kwelokuba azinike umrhwebi obawayo? Impumlo ejijekileyo, impumlo exineneyo, isandi esisempuma saseYurophu esitsha esivela yitshtetl , amehlo anamehlo, kunye namazinyo aphuma kakubi. Isizwe U Patricia Williams uchaze iToydarian njengesikhumbuzo somzimba we anti-Semitic opapashwe eVienna ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20.
Ngapha koko, iiToydarians yayilolunye kuphela lweentlobo ezintathu zobuhlanga ezingezizo ezaziswa kwifilimu yokuqala yangaphambi kwexesha, Isisongelo seFantom . I-Neimoidians iyintloko ye-Trade Federation kwaye iboniswa njengogqatso lobuchwephesha obuphezulu. Babonakala bengakwazi ukwahlula phakathi kwezandi 'r' kunye 'l', uhlobo olomeleleyo lwaseAsia. Nangona kunjalo, njengoninzi lweengcinga zabantu baseMpuma Asia, iiNeimoidiya zibonakala ziyikholaji yeenkcubeko ezahlukeneyo. Banxiba ii-headdresss zabo ezikhuthaza abo base-China Emperors, kodwa iiplanethi zabo ezahlukeneyo zinamagama aphefumlelweyo aseJapan: Kato, Deko, no Koru.
Ukulandela amaNeimoidiya, uLucas wajika wajonga kwelinye lamaqela ambalwa aseleyo: Abantu abaMnyama. UJar Jar Binks wazisa abantu baseGungan kwindalo iphela ye-Star Wars. Uthetha isiNgesi esenziwe lula, kodwa kulula ukuyidlulisa le nto ekuqaleni. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, isiNgesi (okanye i-Star Wars ilingana), isenokungabi lulwimi lwakhe lokuqala. Xa, nangona kunjalo, uJar Jar ekhokelela iJedi esixekweni esingaphantsi kwamanzi samaGungans, kuyacaca ngokukhawuleza ukuba abanalo ulwimi lwenkobe. Okwangoku, isiNgesi sabo esenziwe lula, esifana ngokuphawulekayo nesiNgesi sase-Afrika saseVernacular yesiNgesi, siba luhlanga olucacileyo.
Ukongeza kokungakwazi kwabo ukufunda ulwimi, amaGungane abonakaliswa njengabantu ababuyela umva ngendlela emangalisayo. Ukumkani wabo uchaphazeleka kwiingcinga zengqondo zeJedi, ezisebenza kuphela kwabangonwabanga. Kananjalo, basasebenzisa iislingshots njengezixhobo, ngaphandle kokufumaneka ngokubanzi kwezixhobo zabantu kunye nokubonakala kwabo kubuchwephesha kwitekhnoloji yangaphantsi kolwandle.
Ngelishwa, ubuhlanga kunye nobuhlanga ayisiyiyo kuphela imeko yokucalucalulwa kwi-Star Wars franchise. Ubundlobongela budlala indima enkulu kwiimuvi, ikakhulu kwi-prequels. Ngelixa uPrincess Leia wayengomnye wabafazi kuphela kwi-trilogy yoqobo, ubuncinci wayechazwa njenge-badass. Ukukhonkotha ii-odolo zakhe ezaziza kuba ngabahlanguli kunye nokuqhushumba i-Stormtroopers ngokuchaneka ngcono kunoHan okanye uLuka kwizihlandlo ezahlukeneyo, uLeia wayeyimpucuko enkulu kwinkosazana yomhla. Nokuba yena, nangona kunjalo, wajongana nenkcaso kunye nokwabelana ngesondo ngothotho kwi Ukubuya kweJedi , xa wabanjwa kakubi, wanyanzelwa ukuba angene kwi-bikini, kwaye waxhatshazwa ngokwesondo nguJabba the Hutt. Kodwa ekuphenduleni kolo qhushululu, uLeia wagqibela ngokuziphindezela ngokukrwitshaza isigebenga esikhulu ekufeni ngetyathanga kwindawo ekucacileyo ukuba ifilimu yayidlala njengobulungisa kudala.
Ngokuthelekisayo, umama kaLeia kunye nomakhulu wakhe-abafazi ababini abaziintloko kwii-prequels-babelinyathelo elibalulekileyo. U-Shmi, umama ka-Anakin, ubonakala ngathi akananjongo kumdlalo bhanyabhanya ngaphandle kokuqhubela phambili iyelenqe lakhe. Akanakho ukuzimela, kwaye kubonakala ukuba kwakungafanelekanga nokubuyela kuye kwaye asindise kule minyaka ilishumi iphakathi Isisongelo seFantom kunye nokufa kwakhe ngo Ukuhlaselwa kwamaClones . Nokuba oko kufa-ezandleni zabarbaric Tusken Raiders, hleze ulibale-kusebenza kuphela njengesixhobo sokuqalisa kokujika kuka-Anakin kwicala elimnyama loMkhosi.
I-Padme ibhalwe ngcono kancinci kune-Shmi kodwa ikwajamelene nokusilela okukhulu kokuzimela kuyo yonke ngaphandle kwe-movie yokuqala. Kwi Isisongelo seFantom , akalalwanga ngesondo okanye engafunekiyo, kodwa eneneni ulawula iplanethi. Uyasokola nemibuzo enzima yokuziphatha, uthethathethwano nomnqophiso namaGungans, kwaye ulwa ne-Trade Federation edabini le-droids. Kwiminyaka elishumi kamva, nangona kunjalo, akancedi ekulweni nababulali abohlukeneyo, ii-droids, kunye nezilo ezifuna ukumbulala. Amandla akhe njengeNdlu yeeNgwevu abonakala enqongophele ngokuqatha, kwaye uthathelwa ukunxiba okungaqhelekanga, ukukhanya kwelanga, kunye nokuveza iimpahla ngamaxesha onke. Ngu Impindezelo yeSith , I-Padme ibonakaliswe kakubi njenge-Shmi, engakwazi ukuchaphazela utshintsho kunye nokukho-kunye nokufa-kuphela ukulungiselela iimfuno zokuphuhliswa komlingiswa ka-Anakin.
Mhlawumbi exhalabisa nangakumbi kunale nto iboniswa ngokwesini kukuba ndinokuza kuphela nabasetyhini abathathu abalulekileyo kuthotho lweemovie ezintandathu. Ewe, ukumelwa-okanye ukusilela kwayo-sisiphene esibi kwi-Star Wars franchise. Kukho abafazi abathathu ababalulekileyo, kwaye babini kuphela abantu ababalulekileyo bebala: UMace Windu kunye noLando Calrissian. Uninzi lwabaphangi alufani (Chewbacca, Yoda, Jar Jar, kunye noDarth Maul) okanye amadoda amhlophe (Anakin, Luke, Obi-Wan, Han, Palpatine, Qui-Gon, kunye noDooku.)
Oku kuthetha ntoni kulonwabo lwethu kuthotho olwenziweyo, olunyanzelekileyo, kwaye mhlawumbi yeyona franchise inkulu kwiintsomi? Ngaba asisavumelekile ukubukela ii-Star Wars? Ewe kunjalo. Umsebenzi ngoku ulele kulungelelwaniso lokonwaba kwethu kunye neliso elibukhali kwiindlela iimovie ezingahambi kakuhle ngazo. Ngokugcina unolwazi lokuba ezi zinto zibaxekileyo kunye nemicimbi yokumelwa ayisichaphazeli thina kuphela, kodwa ikwangabo basingqongileyo, sisenza okusesikweni ngokulandelelana.
Ngokwamkela ukuba ubuhlanga kunye nokuziphatha ngokwesini azizibonakalisi kuphela kwintetho ecacileyo yezonyeliso, kodwa zigcwele kuwo onke amanqanaba oluntu lwethu, ukusuka kwezopolitiko ukuya kumagosa asebupoliseni ukuya kumajelo eendaba esonwabileyo, siphela sivumelana no-Obi-Wan Kenobi, omnye Amaqhawe amakhulu e-Star Wars. Kwi Ukubuya kweSith , uthi enye yeengcaphuno zam endizithandayo ezivela kolu ngcelele: Kuphela yi-Sith Lord esebenzisana ngokugqibeleleyo. Xa siqonda ukuba kukho iindlela ezichuliweyo zobuhlanga nezesini, siyazikhaba ezo nkcazo.
Kodwa ukuhlala uthule ukugxeka akwanele. Kufuneka siqiniseke ukuba sicinezela i-Star Wars-kunye nabanye abavelisi bamajelo eendaba, ukusuka kwiMarvel Comics ukuya kathathu-Abaphuhlisi begama levidiyo-ukumelwa ngcono, kunye nokulungisa amatyala abo adlulileyo. Kwaye yiloo nto kanye eyenziwe luluntu, kwiziphumo ezilungileyo ekubunjweni kwe Umkhosi uyavusa .
Iimfazwe zeNkwenkwezi: Umkhosi uyavusa isethwe ukuba ibe sisixa sesixhenxe kwi-franchise, kwaye njengemiboniso bhanyabhanya yangaphambili, inabalingisi abaninzi. Nangona kunjalo, kubalinganiswa abatsha abaphambili esibabonileyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, amadoda amhlophe anqabile. Abalinganiswa abathathu abaphambili abalungileyo nguFinn, owayesakuba yiStormtrooper edlalwa ngumdlali omnyama uJohn Boyega; Rey, umfazi oqhekeza iplanethi yaseJakku edlalwa nguDaisy Ridley; kunye noPoe Dameron, umqhubi wenqwelomoya weNkcaso eyadlalwa ngumlingisi waseSpain uOscar Isaac. Aba babini babi nguKapteni Phasma, igosa labasetyhini kwiFirst Order, kunye noKylo Ren, indoda emhlophe.
(Nangona kufanele kuqatshelwe ukuba abantu bavakalise inkxalabo malunga nezinto ezinokubakho ngaphambili ze-prequel-esque caricature ekhangela ukujonga kwe-Lupita Nyong'o's CGI pirate, Maz Kanata.)
Ekupheleni kwenye yeetreyila zokwazisa zakutshanje ze Umkhosi uyavusa , UHan Solo kaHarrison Ford ukhanyisa kwiscreen kwaye uthi kwiqabane lakhe iWookiee, uChewie, sigodukile. Unyanisile, kwaye eli khaya lingcono kwaye lahlukile kunangaphambili.
