What do you think of Star Wars?
141012
I have been a fan of Star Wars since I was seven years old, seeing the first movie in the theaters in 1977. I think it is on its way to becoming a timeless classic. The elements of the movies (good vs. evil, freedom from oppression, the power of love, etc) will always be strong no matter when they are watched.\n\nSorry... I tend to be long winded... from time to time... dear oh dear...\n\n"A New Hope"... Granted, the special effects in "A New Hope" are nothing compared to what we see today, but we wouldn't have the special effects of today without the groundbreaking efforts of Star Wars to pave the road.\n\n"The Empire Strikes Back"... This one has to be the best all the way around - just enough darkness to keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. Plus, the biggest revelation ever presented... "Luke... I AM YOUR FATHER!"\n\n"Return of the Jedi"... Once you get past the fact that an entire legion of the Emperor's best troops were thwarted by teddy bears, the redemption of the most vile creature in the galaxy makes it worth it.\n\n"The Phantom Menace"... The return to the galaxy far, far away wasn't as great as I expected it to be... maybe because I was no longer seven years old. It felt a little awkward at first, but after a while it kinda grew on me.\n\n"Attack of the Clones"... Probably the one film with the most missed potential. The battle scenes were fabulous. The special effects were phenominal. The dialogue... well... did I mention the great battle scenes?\n\n"Revenge of the Sith"... Finally, we see not only why Anakin became Vader, but why he must wear the suit... the only flaw I had with this one was the wooden dialogue between Anakin and Padme'... especially the lovey-dovey scenes near the beginning.\n\nDespite the bad press many people give the prequel trilogy, when it is watched as a whole it flows perfectly together alongside the original trilogy. I look forward to introducing the saga to my son in about seven years!

Hmmm...14 hours later and no one answered - "A long time a go in a galxay far, far away..."?\n\nIn one reality or another, yes, Star Wars is ancient history, current events, AND things yet to come. If you think I'm wrong, look into string theory. Go ahead, look it up. It'll blow your mind.

Well I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan, but I'd have to say the OBGYN is the most important part of any revolution. Without clean and healthy women's private parts, the galaxy would be doomed.

yes there is life.  but i think now they should remake 4,5,6 to make the story line run smoother.  and to see what cool effects he can do with it.  i love star wars.  it's kinda sad that is it.

Stars Wars - Episode One.  After years of waiting for the next installment, words could not describe the dissapointment I possessed after seing it.  Jar Jar ...need I say more.   The last one however, Revenge of the Sith, where Vader becomes...was very good.

In lots of ways I have to agree the council was too bogged down with all the talk and no action was coming from the senate. With Chancellor Palpatine's help and I have to say a well designed planned he did in lots of ways bring a new order to the galaxy and that is what was needed.\n\nAs far as the Jedi and the rebellion they I wouldn't say were tratior but I will say that they were not on the same page as the Sith Lords simply they had there own internal problems as well they too were deadlocked in a power struggle of there own but at the time they didn't pay any mind to it. Here you have Mace Windu who seemed to me to be the backbone of the Jedi council and you have Yoda who is the oldest member of the Jedi council if you really look closer at that who was really calling the shots?\n\nTrust me it wasn't Yoda! Another thing that I want to make in point is that the Jedi wasn't really thinking of the people like they wanted to make everyone believe they were into there own brand of justice and that was it.\n\nSo if you want to know the truth about it the Empire could have gave the Jedi a chance to come up with a decision which would be to join the empire or suffer a horrible fate in prison instead of killing them all which to me that was a little extreme but I guess Emperor Palpantine felt that it was the best intrest of the empire to eliminate them for the would have caused more problems we will never know why he didn't choose that course of action, It probably would turned out good if he would have done it that way instead of killing them all.\n\nThankful Jedi not because they have always felt threated by the Sith because they didn't want to relinquish power over to them in the first place.\n\nBut that would cause great debate with our fellow fans of Star Wars but I will leave that one with you.\n\nMay the Force be with you, young Master!

I personally loved Star Wars since forever. But the Lord of the Rings is a fantastic movie nonetheless.

HI David, \n\nIf we are to judge based upon a mix of an interesting and fresh plot, action, adventure, ande romance, then the obvious answer must be Episode One. \nI've watched it about a zillion times.\n\nI've also learned to appreciate Episode Three, as the story of how the Dark Side tricks and fools Darth Vader moves me. The guy tried to save his beloved by joining the Dark Side that promised to introduce him to the secrets of immortality of in exchange for his greatness as the Sith, but he got fooled, so greatly fooled. The loved one died, he lost his face and his limbs, as well as any meaning of his life.\nThis touches me very deeply.

Dogma\n\nIt highlights some questions and points made be modern day theology about God and the many religions that stem from his existence.  It's an educational movie as well as being very entertaining.\n\nThe Star Wars saga.\n\nI just liked it.

I concur, "Empire" is also my fav.  "Return of the Jedi" is a close second.  The middle movie rocks, since it's sole purpose is to build on the plot.  It does not have to introduce the entire idea, nor does it have to finish it up.  It can develop the characters and plot.  And, of course, the whole "losing his hand and finding out that Darth is his father" scene for Luke makes the whole film.  Yoda rocks, obviously.  "I love you... I know" is also a classic.  And the movie ends with the promise of so much more.  "Empire" rocks.

it's not "Star Wars geeks," but people like your classmate who take any negative comment on their own pursuits as a personal attack.  they don't realize that everyone does not share their personal tastes.  their pastimes are such a part of their life that they cannot distinguish between what they enjoy and themselves.  which is why they will fight over any criticism or slight made on their pastime.  this is ignorance, and it has nothing to do with Star Wars.  i've seen several people behave in this manner and they did not all like Star Wars.

Empire Strikes back is my favorite. It was dark and twisted with an ending that was bad for the good guys. How often does that happen? Yoda is introduced and Luke meets his dad and gets his butt kicked. The duel between Luke and Vader was awesome you can easily see how much bigger and stronger Vader was than Luke but you also could see a glimmer of what Luke would become.\n\nThere are alot of great characters but I have to go with Luke Skywalker. The sheltered farmboy who not only saves the universe but is basically charged with rewritting what it is to be a Jedi. He was the average kid next door kinda guy who was thrust into extrodinary circumstances. Yeah, Han Solo is "cooler" than Luke but ask any kid coming out of the theater who they wanted to be and all of them said Luke.\n\nOh and Malakai the Dark One, I hate to break it to you but Luke took the Storm Trooper armor from TK-421.
