Existentialist Star Wars (in French!)
Star Wars with a French Existentialist twist. Almost all the subtitles (except for little things like “Despair!” and “I die!” and a few others) are actually quotes from Jean-Paul Sartre.

We know the result, which was completed in 1499, as the Renaissance masterpiece “La Pietà.”
