A life changing experience for many.

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2020)

The birth of the 'Star Wars' films were really a cinematic explosion, that changed many peoples lives and as a young teenager (to some extent) mine to. Now when you look back (to this period) and with all of the latest dire sequels (and prequels), it's kind of hard to form a sound critique. The strength lies obviously with the ground breaking special effects but the cast and character were also super strong. The whole franchise has been blamed for the dumbing down of the Science-fiction genre (which it did for sure) but George Lucus was certainly a director, with a huge imagination and it's rather clever in parts. seeing it in the cinema, upon its release was just a jaw dropping experience!
