Whats the big deal about star wars?

Well, aside from an intersting plot and creative characters, the original film was a huge hit in theaters because of the special effects. People of my generation (the one right after the big Star Wars fans) watch movies like that and think, "Wow, what lame special effects!" though at the time, it was awe-inspiring. The worst special effect (I think) I have ever seen was in Creature from the Black Lagoon, when a bat flew out of the cave, and the wire it was on was clearly visible.

I love the Star Wars Saga.  It's one of the best movies out there.

the entire trilogy was fantasy.  the only thing you question is the number of orchs?  the movies aren't meant to be true to life...if you can believe any of it you have to believe all of it to enjoy it.

hi, interesting script.\n\nI personally didn't like the first 2 new movies, but it my understanding they were outlined in order to present the pitch. sort of a background story. \n\nWith respects to the post... I don't think Ankin should already be Vader from the start of Ep 3. Showing the human side and fall was the point of these i guess. fortunalty we have the orignal movies with Vader in all glory.\n\n\nI have heard lucas say that the series was really always about Vader.\n\n\n\n\nAs for the movies after ROTJ i heard he had outlined that as well.\n\njust a couple of things\nThe extended universe says that the Emperor clone himself and comes back.\nAnd yeah Siths killed each other off and betrayed one another, that i why there are only two, a master and an apprentice...wouldn't dark jedi be .....siths?

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.

Star Wars has a lot of series!

I am with you.\n\nI looked in the questions and answers search box and found the question asked over and over "Do you like Star Wars" and nearly all the answers were yes and how great it was.\n\nIt bored me so much, I fell asleep when I took my son and my grandkids to see it.  I've tried watching the  VCR's they bought, but I never get to the end it's just too boring.

Considering that the six movies have been released in innumerable revisions, it's a good bet they will be.  Nothing solid yet as Lucas seems to be busy with the "Star Wars" TV series.\n\nFor now, the original trilogy is available in a box set.

I've asked this question twice already and barely anyone responded. STAR WARS all the way!!! It should win for best fight (Anakin vs. Obi-Wan), hero (Obi-Wan), and villian (Anakin). I was so depressed after they lost to Narnia!! That was the entire reason why I watched the Academy Awards, to watch Star Wars win. But no they don't and all they got nominated for is MAKEUP!!! I was furios. Now I absolutely hate the oscars. they're fake and stupid. the movies that TRULY deserved to win didn't. Anyways...that's just my opinion.I've already voted hundreds of times!!\n \nGO STAR WARS!!!

Endor. The combinations of the space battle, ground battle, and the Luke-Vader battle/Palpatine --- I love it. Plus it's my favorite movie, so that might help just a little.

Star Wars is a Myth.  A myth is any story where a person goes through a journey of discovery.  Where they "find themselves" in the mythical woods (the world of the unknown) and come out of it a new person (think Luke Skywalker, who grew up to become a full Jedi).  So, that's your example.  Of course it doesn't have to be that long, lol.\n\nJust make the Rose (a wonder that has magical properties of some kind) a reward for some boy or girl who travels the world, discovering the "secrets" that keeps their village from growing or moving forward.  While discovering the magical secrets beyond the village, he meets new people, perhaps his father (finding ones Father is a BIG deal in mythology (again, Star Wars) usually the father set out to finish the quest but was unable or got caught up on the wrong side.  Finishing the quest, doing away with the BAD GUY and saving the father is usually what its about.\n\nJoseph Campbell was the EXPERT on the mythology and what it meant.  He was a great great friend of George Lucas and Lucas wrote Star Wars based on Campbells mythology work.  Campbell has many, many mythology books written as well as DVD's filmed at Skywalker Ranch.  Their awesome to watch him speak of myths and how they were made originally thousands of years ago and today, and both are practically the same.\n\nGood luck!

I was strongly against Star Wars until I actually sat down and watched it. Immediately, I was sucked in by the music and the imagery, then the story. If you've never seen it, sit and watch. You may enjoy it.

I honestly can't believe someone really thinks Empire Strikes Back is the worst movie of the triology. No wonder Lucas filmed the garbage also called Phantom Menace with opinions like that. \n\nPeople, "Empire" is a Sci-Fi classic, "Phantom" only has 5 minutes of significant film (the Sith-Jedi duel) and the rest is trash.\n\nNext thing you know, Jar Jar will be voted the most likeable Star Wars character.

As explained in the original Star Wars movie (now considered Episode VI in the series):\n\n"The Force is what gives the Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together."

I know is weird, but I'm a Star Wars Buff.  There have been about 50 books/stories written in the series.  I have read about half of them.  I have found that most are better stories than the 6 movies that have been released.

I love the newer Star Wars movies. \n\nI didn't so much like the older ones. They were good but a real BORE. \n\nThe new ones, however, kept me on edge and i COULD NOT WAIT to see what happened next. I was mad to find that the 3rd one would be the last. \n\nWhen i left the theater i was like.. MAN thats the last one.. darnit. lol \n\nIt would be great if they made 1 more telling the story of how Luke and his twin sister grew up leading to how they met ATLEAST.\n\nBTW: Hayden Christensen is hot. I wanna see more of him;)
