Lifelong Impact Movie

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2007)

I saw this movie at the theater, and I've never experienced anything like it, before or since. I went into the movie not knowing anything about it, and it just blew me away. I was drawn into it immediately, and was in awe throughout. The movie has all the elements you could want in a movie. It has an intriguing story, action, humor, romance, cool special effects (pre-CG, but way ahead of their time in 1977), a tremendous musical score and has moral lessons about greed, temptation, sacrifice and loyalty. Good and Evil are clearly defined and the fight of Good vs. Evil is the central theme. George Lucas and his extremely talented crew got everything everything right in this movie. The movie benefited from two previous Lucas projects. THX-1138 and American Graffiti. STAR WARS blended Lucas' interest in technology with warm, human, defined characters. If you haven't seen the movie, I would recommend watching the original version, not the Special Edition re-release.
