Fantasy movie of the day: Willow.

Willow, directed by Ron Howard with a story by George Lucas (1988)

A typical Lucas writing. Val Kilmar as IanSolo; Willow as Luke Skywalker; The Queen as the Emperor Palpatine; and the General as Dark Vader, with a mask too, a skull one.
The evil Queen remind the queen of Snow White by Disney classical.
The plot is a new born baby who was prophesied will destroy the evil Queen.
Not a great movie if we look at it by this view point. But I like Willow, the dwarf is cool, I think so. I also like Kilmar, who I believe has not been used at is best by Hollywood. A pity.
Lucas could do better, he just recycled the Star Wars story taking off the science fiction part, or maybe he adapted this storytelling for Star Wars...
