A friend of mine, Tom Reed, has written a fantastic breakdown of STAR WARS for the Save The Cat blog, and I'm so excited for him that I just wanted to share it with you all!!  Tom has an exceptional gift for writing the beats in such a way that you feel you are watching the whole movie!  He is particularly wise in his analysis of Fun & Games, and showing how this is woven not just into the F&G beat, but the entire movie.  I'd encourage you to take a look, and while you are there, please drop him a message in the comments, I'm sure he'd appreciate the support.  Here is part 1, part 2 will be posted next Friday.  Congratulations, Tom, you've done a brilliant job!

If you aren't familiar with Blake Snyder's SAVE THE CAT! book, I highly recommend it.  My whole perspective on screenwriting changed (for the better) when I became familiar with it (thanks to Tom!).  In fact, it not only changed how I outline/write, but changed the way I see movies, generally.  You can't help but notice the beats once you're familiar with them, and it never ceases to amaze me how often they fall right where they should!





Happy writing ;)
