Why no Star Wars

I won't see any of these movies until they stream but why no Star Wars?

Any favorites or opinions?

Probably because the Oscar system has the industry voting, they generally have not nominated the big franchise movies. If it went by popularity, and $$$ made, that would be a different thing,

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the only movie on the Oscar list that I have seen. I did see it nominated for some sound and special effects Oscars, just no acting/directing etc categories.

It has been years since I have seen a movie that was nominated for the acting/writing/directing categories

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend, til death, your right to say it

Do you mean Oscar nominations?

Perhaps the release cut off date for nominations was before Star Wars was in theaters.

Star Wars was only nominated for Best Editing & Best Sound Mixing, so the movie came out in time to be considered.

Eight films were nominated when they have room for ten.

other movies that could have been nominated Concussion and Straight Outta Compton. And will smith could have been nominated for Concussion even if the movie wasn't they did it for Jennifer Lawrence in Joy.

maybe j j Abrams is too tv and Star Trek for Star Wars to be nominated.

They never nominate sci/fi fantasy films for anything other than technical awards. It makes me nuts. You can still have a great story in an alternate reality or universe, Oscar people!

I personally don't believe Star Wars should have been nominated since it's the same exact movie as Return of the Jedi with a few twists but I would like sci fi/fantasy and comedies to have a lot more respect in the future.
