        Same reason all McDonald's cheeseburgers are all the same. And all episodes of the Kardashian's are the same. Etc. Because mindless familiarity goes down easy.

        Because our culture is overwhelmingly dominated by unimaginative hacks repeating worn-out pseudo-intellectual tropes. No surprise that the @NewYorker staff can't figure it out.

        when the MAJESTIC 12 DOCUMENTS are finally laid out to bear for the public you will see the relevant content as it really is; but for now just keep on guessing. Majestic 12 is just the Highest Securiy Classification that exists...but without a NEED TO KNOW;you will not read it.

        Because they are very expensive to make, and major movie studios are generally unwilling to gamble that much money on anything less than a sure thing.

        Because there is huge backlash when they try and be original(episode 1-3) and now episode 8. Episode 7 was loved because it was a remake of episode 4. At some point StarWars became a comfort blanket of nostalgic entitlement where any threat to it becomes immediately scorned.

        It is the Heroes Journey. All great sagas tell the same story. It is our story as humans and why we watch again and again.
