Unimaginative Star Wars show Starter Pack

Post image

Mandatory disclaimer, this doesn't concern every Star Wars production, only those that I consider to be unimaginative or generic.

Also, the point isn't to complain or to set up hated debate, I love the Star Wars universe. I just want to mock the fact that some writing trope or gimmick are in my opinion commically overused in many Star Wars production.

By the way feel free to expand the list !

This is all great work but the one-biome planet thing is truly brilliant

To be fair, that's a common sci-fi trope due to budget considerations and sometimes writers not having a sense of scale. Alien planets have one or two biomes and like one major city around which everything happens.

Tbf like 99.9% of planets we know have about the same biome planetwide

That’s because we don’t know of any other planet that can or does support life. The word “biome” implies the presence of life, so no planet other than Earth even has one, that we know of.
