Maybe you’re stuck for ideas, either way, a generator is a cool way to brainstorm, but not end up with a final product. A logline generator can give direction for a character you want to write about, but any generator or formula will leave you with something lackluster.
Star Wars: A New Hope
Luke Skywalker, a spirited farm boy, joins rebel forces to save Princess Leia from the evil Darth Vader, and the galaxy from the Empire’s Death Star.
