Actually Star wars was my first choice as I still love the films but I wanted something that made it look like I had more brains
snap....
may i also champion a classic of the 50's, the creature from the black lagoon, pure monster mayhem from universals stable that includes: frankenstein, the bride, wolfman, the mummy, et al.
on first glance it is at is appears, a straight forward trip into the amazon by a group of explorers, who are terrorised by a malevolent unknown creature, who escapes after capture, and abducts his new found object of affection, the lovely julie adams, only for the men of her group to stamp their machismo on the creature and kill him in "saving" her.
and theres the thing, she doesn't need saving, yes gillmans a bit odd to look at, but it's his turf that's been invaded, his life disrupted, buy a bunch of "scientists" who know nothing of the rules of "observe not interfere" he's fascinated by julie, and has found someone/thing to share with
a classic rubberman outfit still allows emotion to come through, and the pain, rage, devotion of the gillman is evident on screen
ultimately though the final shot says it all, rather than understand and co-exsist, man will choose to destroy that which is rare and precious, a cautionary tale if ever there was one......
