He is not, however, a very engaging storyteller, and almost every time he’s sat down to cull together a story out of his torrent of wild images, the results have been disappointing. Masamune Shirow is a fantastically creative visual artist, one of the best in the business. George Lucas may have been deeply enamored of the relationship between Amidala and Anakin, but we saw no evidence onscreen of what was so interesting to him. That or he simply hadn’t found a way to make those things interesting to us.
The further the material has been taken from its creator (manga artist Masamune Shirow), the more interesting it has become-which implies that Shirow was most interested in the things about it that were least interesting to everyone else. The most disconcerting thing about the Ghost in the Shell mythology is something that, oddly enough, parallels Star Wars.
