Gathatoulie

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

storytelling according to star wars (c/o Prescott Harvey and Demian Farnworth)

> Promise: Did they make a meaningful promise to the right audience?

Cool things happen away from civilisation, amidst bounty hunters etc.
-- the promise is to do with the frontier.

> Picture: Did they paint a compelling picture of what life will look like if said audience takes them up on that promise?

The picture people want to see is dirty, gritty, second-hand.

> Proof: Did they provide enough proof to believe their promises and picture?

(We don't always need an explanation - there's a sense of magic that
comes from the unknown!)

> Push: Did they push them to act?

The risk is real, not fun.
