Debate: No, I am your favourite film franchise

"The House Believes that Star Wars is the greatest film franchise of all time."

Join us for an evening of lively debate on whether Star Wars is the greatest film franchise of all time.

In this debate, we might discuss:

Proposition

  • There has been no other franchise to capture three generations of fans like Star Wars has.  

  • It brought SciFi to the masses.

  • It is the heroes' journey for the 20th and 21st century.

Opposition

  •  There are other franchises such as Marvel and others which have overtaken Star Wars.

  • The movies are filled with average CGI and bad character lines.

  • Although once culturally relevant Star Wars is now nothing but a cash cow for large corporations.

Starting Point For Further Readings:

  • The original trilogy - IV A New Hope, V The Empire Strikes back, and VI Return of the Jedi 

  • The prequel trilogy - I The Phantom Menace, II Attack of The Clones, and III Revenge of the Sith

  • The sequel trilogy - VII The Force Awakens, VIII The Last Jedi, and IX The Rise of Skywalker

“I find your lack of faith [in the cultural supremacy of starwars] disturbing.” - A New Hope - Darth Vader
