Working in storyboards it’s hard not to think about this stuff a LOT but the more I work the more it really doesn’t matter and nobody notices plus there may be a number of reasons preventing it from always being possible. https://twitter.com/myanimewaifu/status/1352390802467512320

It’s interesting to read about and find out about traditions that you can notice throughout history. Yes, the majority of Lawrence of Arabia is east to west action (and pans) and so is Fury Road (reversed for the return journey) but (con’d)

I was interested lately in reading about commedia dell’arte and pantomime traditions where the villain/demon traditionally enters/exits stage left, among their other traditions

The reason for entering stage left was its association with the devil, and indeed ‘left’ in Italian is “sinistra”.

Though they switch sides a few times in the battle of Crait, Kylo’s army is always favouring the left and the resistance are always right. This is carried thru from earlier in the movie when Rey/Kylo face Snoke, whose throne always favours screen left.
