Re: What makes a great script? Perhaps an award winning script.
Of course Star Wars is a more universal story and as such it has wider appeal in any generation. I do agree it's a great film.
But to say, "... Woody Allen sucks eggs compared to George Lucas."
Aw, come on!
Woody Allen is the quintessential neurotic New Yorker. His entire body of work is an ode to New York City and the particular neurotics who make the city what it is. From generation to generation.
Maybe it appeals to me because, no matter where I roam, I still have a New Yorker's soul. Or, like the song goes, A New York State Of Mind. It does truly exist. There's something about that city that gets into your bones. And Allen captures it perfectly.
Lucas did great work with Star Wars. Genius work. But Allen's portfolio of New York films is also genuis. Annie Hall being likely the best.
I'd call it a draw.
To compare SW and AH as if it were a level playing field is not ... well, it's just not Kosher.
