Upscale Sci-Fi Giant

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2016)

I was six years old when I saw Star Wars at the Fairview Mall Movie Theatre, Don Mills, Toronto, Canada.
Emotional at times, I cried when Obi Wan Kenobi was vaporized by the light-sabre of Darth Vader. The movie includes a Gothic plot, mature feelings with highly rated, bizarre tech effects and costume displays.
I enjoyed and personally related to R2D2 and C3P0. Star-Fighter attack sequences form memorable moments.
I was overwhelmed and distracted at times by the event focus of a sold out audience. The film was of longer duration.
As a first-time experience it provoked some determined minds. The film has formed the basis of fantasy action activities, costume parties, Halloween, Trivia, pop culture and more for decades.
