Shadows of the Empire
Cienie imperium
2019 · Film · documentary · 73 min
Directed by Karol Starnawski
How to live in a shadow of an empire? How can you think about the future if all that you see through the window are barbed wires, armoured vehicles and tanks? Aleksey from Nagorno-Karabakh, Timur from Ukraine, and Alexander from Georgia are facing these questions every day. These three men differ in almost every aspect of their lives, but in fact, each of them experiences the same consequences for their very existence. Each one of them experiences war. We observe people involved in the already forgotten border conflicts, that happened after the USSR collapse, and are still alive due to the Russian imperial policy.

Even Shadows of the Empire as a standalone movie would be a breath of something new and fun.
Maybe not the highest art ever but both were solid stories memorable enough for us to remember decades later. Thrawn was a respectable villain. We weren't supposed to like him but couldn't deny his competence.
Of memorable blue people, for comparison I've watched Avatar twice and don't remember a thing about it.
