Is that a bad thing? The whole table is a bunch of links to TV Tropes. Apologies if it's inappropriate.

(Sorry. No, it's fine! It's a trope here that tvtropes can be a huge timesuck and I was going for the easy early faves, another familiar trope.)

The Star Wars franchise has about 50 tropes named after it, though it may not be the origin of those tropes.

The molecules are pretty great, and too few. I would like to order several dozen more of these trope molecules, thanks
