Games now routinely trounce Hollywood box office. So when I first heard that Cliff Bleszinski while promoting Bulletstorm in a Gamasutra interview had described Mass Effect as the Star Wars of our generation, I sat up and took notice. Here he discusses the ‘meaning’ of the franchise with Bill Moyers in the run up to The Phantom Menace, when the decline commenced in earnest. It is certainly something George Lucas is not averse to claiming himself. It is now essential to mention Joseph Campbell when discussing the symbolism of Star Wars. As an 80’s child, the phrase ‘Star Wars is the mythology of our time’ has become something of a truism for me.
