Using that term does not make you sound as smart as you think it does
Man, I am so tired of hearing about how Star Wars was based on "The Hero's Journey" as outlined by Joseph Campbell. Yes. It is. I know this. Everyone knows this. George Lucas said it himself... twenty-four years ago.
The problem is that few of these people who mention it have nothing new to add, so it's just reiterating the same factoid over and over and over again.
