10 Biggest Similarities Between Guardians Of The Galaxy And Star Wars

8. Loveable Ensemble Casts

Ensemble casting is something that has successfully captivated audiences on both the big and small screen alike. When done properly, the writer, director, and actors can work in unison to create some of the most memorable characters in media. There's no doubt that the inspiration for some of the more recent ensemble casts is the original Star Wars franchise. While some have tried and missed the mark considerably, others have hit it out of the park. Guardians Of The Galaxy is one of the latter, with the interactions of the group feeling natural and enjoyable. With Luke Skywalker and Peter Quill both deemed as the saviors to their respective galactic conflicts, the next step in their journey is to eventually recognize that they can€™t complete their mission alone. Each hero appears and recruits several essential and lovable characters for their journey, leaving the debate between the better ensemble cast up to the viewer. Only time will tell if Groot, the walking tree, can end up being as beloved as the Chewbacca, the walking carpet, or if the popularity of a wise cracking raccoon named Rocket can endure as long as the team of R2-D2 and C-3PO.
