The best stories usually don't claim to be. They are not born to be great, but greatness is found in the way they are presented. The first episode of, originally 6, to go the screens was the fourth.

The film, with a refusal of 3 studios, with a modest figure of 8 million dollars, Fox's disbelief, many mishaps and a lot of careless atmosphere among the cast, at a certain point made the studio even doubt whether it had lost the pledged figure.

Ladd, the only executive to support Lucas' idea, kept everything running. The script, which began to be written in 1973, went back and forth several times, but in essence kept the principle of the film/work of Akira Kurosawa, the forgotten fortress, from 1958.

So much so that Lucas himself explains Darth Vader's armor/life support concept: a mix of Samurai armor with medieval knight armor bearing.

Also important for Lucas, and then Fox's disbelief is evident, the negotiation of marketing profits, rights to any sequels, contract with ILM (Industrial Light and Magic, a company still in Lucas' childhood of special effects) for all films , maintenance of the cast and does not interfere with the script.

At this point, Fox just wanted to release and pray: destroyed sets, lack of "commitment" from the cast, unknown actors and actresses, confidentiality about special effects - Lucas kept almost everything he was doing secret - and a script with strange names - without commercial appeal - and a lot of back-and-forth (for the narrative that the public was used to, it was a recipe for failure).

George Lucas covered every point of this film, from sets to lines, from editing to soundtrack. In a way, executive producer, in this film, goes beyond just the injection of money: it was the injection of dreams.

Fact that Star Wars, a new hope became a watershed, as Citizen Kane, as Jaws - by Steven Spielberg and as Alien, most of the 70's. With only 8 million dollars, FOX in the end of the decade 80 was so well leveraged financially, that it financed communication channels, thunderous films, becoming one of the best-known cinematographic brands in the late 20th century, with one detail: it passed almost unscathed from the financial failures of other studios, mergers and acquisitions .

Fox should say thank you Lucas, thank you Ladd.

The story itself is something phenomenal, which Disney, which is buying everything: bought Marvel, bought Star Wars, bought Simpsons and so on, establishing itself as a monster with many tentacles, didn't have the courage to make the traditional interferences that always does when buying rights.

Disney, whose Star Wars fans criticized the purchase, guaranteed the eternity that Lucas could not: Star Wars was already a pop concept, replicated throughout world culture, but it lacked the commercial appeal: lunch boxes, notebooks, books, series, action dolls, hot wheels of the ships, digital games and others. disney is a commercial powerhouse when it comes to image licensing in the world. Guaranteed Star Wars eternity in a way Lucas couldn't!

The constructivist concept, of assembling the meaning of Force, starting from historical traces, from legends, without revealing the whole, made the viewer, in the first half hour of the film, want more. That "Creature" in the black cape, who also used force, generated curiosity: what was under that mask? A princess, with appeals to 18th century cape-and-sword literature, with sabers and honor from 16th century post-feudal Japan, the rise of a noble-rooted farmer from 17th century romantic literature, a laser western, typical of John Wayne's films and a conspiracy of the weak and downtrodden to free themselves from an oppressive galactic empire that he remembered - and yes, intended, according to Lucas - with the German army still alive in memory, transformed the "failure" of 8 million to one feat compared to the Greek Iliad.

Icons such as Stormtroopers uniforms, Vader himself, the lightsaber, the Milleniun Falcon, Princess Leia's hair, C3PO, R2-D2, the XWING and TIE-FIGHTER ships, the death star itself, and lastly, the iconic Yoda (in fact, much more than 5), in a single film, no internet, no massive publicity, no television advertisements and the discredit of the studio are elements of the strength of this interstellar account.

This movie, already in the first 5 minutes, causes so much curiosity: it starts with 4, which makes everyone think: what did I miss? What a movie I didn't see! And this curiosity makes the viewer even more attentive, as it would mean that he would probably have to pay attention due to having missed something.

The empire's oppression is set in such rich detail and emotional impression that the ship's approach is a summary of what is happening across the galaxy! Simple way to explain how macro things worked! A princess, galactic senator, reflects the constitutionality of things (for better and for worse), showing the bureaucracy and hierarchy of the whole thing. "Lord" Vader demonstrates the title and inherent power and his preoccupation with espionage and rebellion, eroding constituted power. All this in a maximum of 7 minutes!

Then the saga of the robots unfolds, yes of the robots!!! The duo R2D2 and C3PO start to be loved, in a frantic crowd to know if they will manage to deliver. First misuse: they are captured. From then on, the concept of force and deterministic establishment began to emerge: Force fixes everything because it is in everything! (I agree, midiclorians are the most insane and desperate explanation of 1999! No need!) And force, by leaps and bounds, makes everything move towards its desperate conclusion: the death star will destroy the base planet of the rebellion, as simple as that! Like poison in a cockroach's nest!

The sequences of despair, salvation, despair, salvation, cyclically presented, every 10 to 15 minutes of film, leading to final despair, makes the viewer not even think, already involved in the story! This all for 8 million dollars!

Fantastic movie of fantastic reality comparisons.

In the real world, what you see, for cryptocurrencies, is the same thing: despair on top of despair, attacks on top of financial market attacks: the empire! The global financial system, allied with self-interested nations, has been attacking cryptorebellion.

The rebels' common thread is the internet (the immaterial force of the real world) and their fighters and fighters, within the financial system, are cryptocurrencies and other technological strategies to give investors the right to earn money for themselves!

But just like in Star Wars we have Jabba, the Hutt. In the world of cryptocurrencies we have speculators, who work on both fronts, without really caring about the whole! If you have money, you buy everything: this is a Star Wars side that is always present: there is no good and bad, if you can call it that, without the amoral intermediaries, who have no problem negotiating on both fronts.

In fact, Star Wars has another concept: what is actually good and evil? This movie is, in fact, a matter of control, not of good or evil. Both sides want peace and stability in the galaxy, to defend the weak and downtrodden. Both use their visions to make this happen.

Vader, throughout the films, makes it clear that the goal is to take care of the unprotected. And he understands that empire is the means to achieve. The Sith-Jedi fight itself comes from this: the Sith were born from a Jedi who switched sides because he believed that the Jedi were not competent to attract balance in force: see balance in force, not one side or the other!

In the financial market, at some point, the balance of strength, the balance of financial assets must also be found. Good and evil depend on the eye of the beholder!

The Hutt, Solo, Leia, Skywalker, Vader, Palpatine, Kenobi, R2D2, C3PO: which of these, or others, are we within the crypto war universe?

May the force be with you!
