    WH40K plots be like:

    - War is happening
    - Mechanicus finds a thing
    - Some say not to use the thing
    - Mechanicus uses the thing
    - Thing was a warp portal maker

            Blood for the Blood God, And Skulls for the skull throne. We must kill, We will strip The flesh from their bones.

            This is the last time, The trophy is mine. Your death will mirror Your pathetic life!

            (It’s been 20 years and I can still hear the little quotes in my head!)

                Ah, it was the old PC game, Dawn of War, I was quoting. It’s based on 40k and was brilliant because it had all the 40k lore and atmosphere wrapping a game that was actually balanced and fun to play.

      Counterpoint: plots where various factions just attack each other and never consider cooperation or consequences are boring and badly written.

        Simple isn’t the same as bad. The original trilogy is a basic save the princess story with good characters. But it’s still a good series that many people enjoy. Star wars was never about Jedi vs Sith, but always about the characters and their journey
