What Happened
If a battle is fought in space, it will look nothing like those depicted in the Star Wars franchise, with sleek TIE fighters blasting enemy ships with laser cannons and mag-pulses.
Why It Matters
Instead, these battles will be cerebral and unhurried, somewhat like the 1973 film The Day of the Jackal, a slow-burning political thriller with a plot that somehow mixes tension with clinical precision.
Key Details
- In that film, an assassin sets out to murder the French president.
- The main character's moves are meticulously planned, with backup plans for backup plans.
- A police commissioner, just as clever, must pursue the assassin and stop the conspiracy.
- The events play out over weeks and months, not seconds and minutes.
