I’m sure the best independent Star Wars movie would be infinitely better than what Disney has been shoveling out for the last couple decades.

Such a talented team would be able to make a great movie on the same theme.

Saying the lack of creativity in the industry in because we can't copy things freely is completely moronic.

  • It's a major hindrance. For example, if I came up with an amazing creative idea for a star wars movie I couldn't do a damn thing with it unless Disney told me I could. Disney isn't likely to accept an unsolicited pitch from a total nobody who just happened to have a great idea either. I don't see how you could doubt that there are a lot of great works of art that won't ever exist because of the fact that copyright prevents them from ever getting off the ground.

    • You can't do a damn thing with it not because of copyright, but because you don't have the resources to make the movie in the first place.

      Copyright can't legally stop you from making a movie about wizards fighting each other with laser swords in space.
