Video Celebrates The Visual Beauty of STAR WARS, Set to John Williams’ Score

The article highlights a video essay by YouTuber Patrick Tomasso titled "The Visual Beauty of Star Wars." This essay celebrates the deliberate and masterful cinematic language and visual artistry used throughout the nine films of the Skywalker Saga.

Tomasso's video showcases how Star Wars effectively utilized elements like composition, lighting, color palettes, and a blend of practical and digital effects to create its iconic look. It emphasizes that these weren't accidental, but carefully crafted choices influenced by genres like Westerns and samurai films (specifically referencing Kurosawa).

The essay argues that this deliberate visual storytelling is key to why Star Wars imagery is so instantly recognizable, influential, and enduring. The Nerdist piece praises Tomasso's video for effectively capturing and paying tribute to this crucial aspect of the Star Wars legacy.
