And then George Lucas had to turn mastery of the force into some nerdy thing involving genetic luck. Only people with the magic blood line can control the force. That's some royalty type shit. It's not relatable at all. Audiences get into action movies with seemingly ordinary everyman type characters. That's one factor that made Die Hard so entertaining. You have this imperfect cop, with a failing marriage and early male-pattern baldness who is afraid of heights yet he has to take on some high-skilled European bad guys in a 40 story tall skyscraper.
