Sin City is an anthology of hard-boiled crime stories, adapted from Frank Miller’s comics, featuring a rogues’ gallery of femme fatales and tough-as-nails detectives. His El Mariachi trilogy followed the ultraviolent adventures of a lone wolf seeking vengeance. In addition to helming Boba’s spectacular return to action in The Mandalorian episode “Chapter 14: The Tragedy,” Rodriguez has directed a handful of awesome, action-packed antihero movies throughout his career. It’s in very safe hands with executive producer Robert Rodriguez.

Movies usually don’t have enough time to get audiences to sympathize with a killer, but TV has the flexibility to explore their psychology and humanize them.
The “Golden Age of Television” has drawn viewers into the lives of complicated antiheroes like Walter White and Tony Soprano.

Lucas’ mythologizing changed the face of Hollywood in the 1970s, but today, there’s more of an appetite for darker, edgier, more morally challenging stories. The Rebels defeat the Empire, the Jedi triumph over the Sith, the light side of the Force balances out the dark side, etc. Emperor Palpatine is the deceptively camp embodiment of pure evil. Series creator George Lucas was inspired by the archetype-driven storytelling of fairy tales and mythology to create a modern-day myth that would encapsulate those values. The Star Wars universe has always traded in standard good-versus-evil narratives.
