No, Reveen, you don't understand. Shots like six overgrown teddy bears trying to trip a 28ft tall war machine with a piece of rope are actually subtle yet brilliant metaphors for the self-perpetuating cycle of colonialist violence. Notice how the teddy bears - after all being simultaneously yanked off their feet as they cling to their tragically inadequate rope - all stand up, only to all fall down again mere seconds later, pulled off their feet once again as the walker continues undisturbed. The harder the teddy bears try and resist the colonialist power, the greater their suffering; a vicious cycle facilitated as much by their courageous refusal to let go of the rope as the gap in their technological advancement.
I don't recall. What precisely happens during those scenes?
Calling it a "struggle " is hyperbole.
Not entirely semantics. From what I read, you were framing it as a fierce copyright issue being hammered out when it was simply George Lucas not being given control of the project Laurentiis was putting together.
I retract the statement as it is, but I will maintain the universe should be respected (what that means, I'm sure I'll think of later).
