'Star Wars' through the eyes of a new generation

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2017)

I first saw 'Star Wars' in 2005 when I was around 7 years old and I distinctly remember thinking how fun this movie was, which is really the best word to describe the whole franchise, Star Wars is fun. Even though I grew up watching films filled with new age technology and mind blowing effects 'Star Wars' still made me feel like I was in space, travelling through hyperspace and visiting new exotic planets. For a film released in 1977 its technology and special effect still feel out of this world. Through the years I've realized that not only is it a fun film but it also works perfectly in setting up this trilogy. It's a classic tale of good vs. evil and this simplicity is one of the ways it differs from other Sci-fi were often the plot gets out of hand which is why many films nowadays are over the top. I don't think 'Star Wars' is the best film in the franchise but it is my personal favorite.
