A Very New Hope

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2005)

I literally just got home from seeing this film, a film in which I have been waiting six years to see. When episode one came out, I knew episode three would be my favorite, seeing as episode six is my favorite. It gives a lot of insight to the history (which I absolutely love about movies) and answers a lot of questions that may have arose from the original trilogy.
George Lucas (who is my hero and is an inspiration into my film-making) did an excellent job at finishing this series perfectly... OK well not perfectly, but so well done that I cried, even after the film was over. It all just makes sense now, and I suggest everyone (star was fan or not) see this movie for the immense emotion and amazing graphics and lightsaber fights because they ROCK!
---SPOILERS--- I don't usually do spoilers, but I just have two comments on two different parts. The first is after Anakin officially becomes Darth Vader (suit and all) he asks where Padme is, in which Darth Sidious basically tells him he killed her (Anakin that is) and Darth Vader is like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" ... George Lucas... How corny can that get huh? Honestly >
My second one is when Padme actually dies during childbirth like Anakin saw in his dreams... NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN! She was suppose to die, but not then. Here's why:
Luke: Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother? Princess Leia: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young. Luke: What do you remember? Princess Leia: Just... images really. Feelings. Luke: Tell me. Princess Leia: She was... very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why are you asking me this?
That is from Return of the Jedi... Leia remembers her mother (a bit) and that she was sad... Hmmm I wonder why she was sad... Padme dying at childbirth just contradicts what Leia said and that kind of bothers me... BUT a great movie nonetheless!
So now that I have ranted about that one thing that doesn't work in this movie, I am glad to say that I will forever and ever be a Star Wars fan, even though the waiting is complete... Well kind of... I have to wait for the DVD now ><
