A milestone

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2001)

ok. Look at Star Wars. It is extremely hokey, and for the whole time, the stormtroopers for some reason can't hit the good guys. For the average viewer today, its just another ho-hum sci-fi flick. But Star Wars is #7 at the top 100. Why? Why is a film that is so cheesy in the top 100? Because of the monumental amount of creativity involved. Take a look at the Mos Eisley Cantina. There are probably dozens of different looking creatures, they all look weird, but are memoriable enough to leave their image in your head. Check out this new phenomenon called "the force". Truly, this is Star War's biggest and most creative idea that has not been taken from any movie...but it is spawned from George Lucas alone. All the characters in Star Wars have such distinct looks and personalities, especially the ever omnimous Darth Vader, that nowadays there are references to them(e.g."the force will be with you, always").
So what if its bad acting? so what if its cheesy? Star Wars more than compensates that with the extremely innovative ideas, the unique looking creatures, the cool machines like the lightsabre and the X-Wings, that nobody but George Lucas could think of. Set in a truly creative and vividly imagined universe, Star Wars is a milestone in Science Fiction film making. The persons who gave this movie a 5 or less deserve to be fried just like poor Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen were.
