A well-made axe is art. A beautifully designed house is art. A surgeon replacing your wife's liver is art. An wide reciever stretching past the line, his fingertips trapping the ball while dragging a foot inbounds for a win in overtime - still art.

It's all art, my friend. We take a skill and get better. We get so good that people stop and look. I used to be a painter. The blue collar, white ceilings with a roller kind of painter. I was not an artist. My boss, he could cut a freehand line so straight and level you'd think he'd used tape on the wall. Nope, just good at his job. An artist.

But spray paint on a rock wall?! That's fucking DIFFICULT. Extreme challenge. My boss couldn't paint that on his very best day. There would be overrun, splatter. The wispy little hair on Yoda's head would look like Charlie Brown or Homer Simpson.

....

Ok, I think they're all gone now. Just between you and I, this is absolute garbage, 100% agree with you - but probably for different reasons.

Yoda is a soldier. He's not just a grunt, either. He symbolizes conflict and war. He is the hero of a movie franchise called Star Wars. It's literally a blockbuster movie about war. Glorifying war. So I feel that the artist made a horrible artistic choice in using Star Wars as a play on Stop Wars.

The concepts bump, making it an uncomfortable moment. Like a child who proudly presents you a picture of a violent scene drawn messily in crayon. You want to match their energy, but you're lk wondering if the little idiot is just messing with you.

Like all the anti-war movies whose main characters are soldiers? That's a shallow point of view if I've ever read one.

Yoda saw the fall of the democratic nation he wanted to protect, the rise of a fascist empire, and lost everybody he ever knew and cherished along the way, only to end up as a bitter hermit in a swamp. Soldiers are victims too, even if they don't die in a war.
