Greedo does not shoot, at all

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2015)

Without Star Wars I have no idea where film would be today. I don't even know where our culture would be today, where I would be or even if the human race would still exist. Star Wars revolutionized science fiction cinema and movies in general, it inspired countless individuals and continues to do so today. It exploded in pop culture and it is one of the few movies I know about that you can pretty much still buy toys from at a regular Wal-Mart today, over 30 years after coming out.
First of all, I don't care what anybody says, the effects still hold up and any practical effects of the 70's will always, ALWAYS be better in my mind than the digital crap that is modern Lucas cinema. That being said, the effects look dated, but still awesome, it is a part of Star Wars, the grittiness, the fact that it was done on a relatively small budget with little resources. I simply can't review Star Wars without mentioning John Williams score. One of the best music ever, not only for movies. John Williams is a modern day Mozart. The story is amazingly imaginative and draws you in every second of the movie. I love it.
Star Wars is a nearly flawless movie, it's one of the greatest movies ever made and I love it. About the changes in the special edition: I don't hate George Lucas. How could I hate the man that created something that I love so much? Something that I grew up with? But what he did to these movie is simply unforgivable. Lucas has explained in interviews that he felt he was always held back by the technology at the time he made the original trilogy, so he went back and changed sooo much stuff. I'm not gonna talk about anything, but 1) Han shoots first, 2) Jabba is definitely NOT in A new Hope and 3) The CGI enhancements at Mos Eisley are simply terrible.
Star Wars is an epic space tale about adventure, friendship, loyalty, good vs. evil and It's not just a movie. Star Wars is a part of our culture, it is a movie that transcends time and it is our responsibility to keep it in its original form for future generations to see. It built my entire moral compass and taught me the difference between good and evil, loyalty and why friends are so important. I love Star Wars.
