9. Ever read Joseph Campbell?

And his works on the myth archetypes: You're not too far off at all. The Star Wars cycle, the story of Jesus (and Mithras and Osiris and all the sun gods who preceded and followed), King Arthur, etc. They're all the same basic tale, told over and over with regional and cultural differences.

11. You picked up on it!

:toast: Although it was meant to be a joke, there are serious issues that face the characters...everyday decisions all of us make (some of which affect others) Never read Joseph Campbell, I'll look him up:7
