Willow

Once upon a time there was a man named George. George liked making movies. He made a bunch of really good movies. Among these was a movie named "Star Wars." Up until the day that George died, he was never able to escape this movie. He tried, though. He tried really hard. He made movies about other fantasy worlds. He made a whole new series of movies about a wisecracking paleontologist. He told authors to take his work and rape it through any orifice they chose, but even with this he couldn't convince himself to let it be. This is not Star Wars. This is one of the diversion attempts.

This movie is fairly typical of George Lucas' fantasy works. The main characters are either inherently good in every instance, or are much better people by the end of the story. The action relies a lot on the main characters having script immunity and an acceptance that everyone who does not have script immunity is a pawn under the most opressive hand destiny has ever turned, eliminating reason, logic, and talent. Think Stormtroopers. Still, enjoyable muchly.
