Philip Zimbardo‚ a psychologist of Stanford University‚ famed for the notorious Zimbardo Prison Experiment once said that “Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives‚ or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.” In hindsight‚ it’s a greatly fitting reflection on the Zimbardo Prison Experiment when so many otherwise innocent people started abusing their power simply because they could.

Star Wars is a brand that everyone in the United States have at least heard about‚ or even made it a religious practice‚ and know about how much success it has made.

How about we begin by addressing the elephant in the room: Ridley Scott has been in a slump for the past decade or more. In 1979 he redefined the space film with Alien‚ in 1982 he crafted his gritty science fiction masterwork Blade Runner‚ and in 2000 he won the Academy Award for Best Picture with Gladiator. Obviously‚ a stunning repertoire‚ but what has he directed since then? Mediocre film after mediocre film. Whether it be Kingdom of Heaven‚ Robin Hood‚ Prometheus‚ or The Counselor‚ Scott has
