Funny you should mention those themes, because it was heavily influenced by classic Samurai films, which have a lot of similar “betrayal” story beats.
Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?
capuccino@lemmy.world 1 day agoI think this is the greater unpopular opinion I have, but here I go: It’s something more personal rater than anything. Since child I’ve always fund kinda stupid that a civilization that has ships with space travel capabilities still using swords to fight sigh LASER swords. I always felt Star Wars like a mediaval story, it have swords, magic, incest, politics, and the sci-fi stuff is a big flex tape. I’m pretty sure that without it, Star Wars wouldn’t never be the success that it is.

You don’t want guns in a spaceship. Don’t want to poke a hole in a wall and open it to space.
Swords make a lot more sense when fighting inside a spaceship. (Granted, short swords, probably, due to the limited space, but still.)
