truly magical

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 1998)

Twenty one years ago in late August my mom took me to see Star Wars. It is the first movie that I can remember seeing in a theatre. Being four years old I didn't know what to expect, but when the lights went out and that fanfare came on, I was mesmerized. Then the movie started, and when those ships roared across the screen, I just sat there, amazed. As the film progressed I was introduced to all of the characters that populate this film. I remember being frightened when I first saw Darth Vader. I remember the battle over the Death Star, the X-Wings and TIE Fighters blowing up and Luke being chased by Vader. Then, the Death Star explodes. Needless to say, I've never forgotten that experience.
Twenty years later, I was thrilled to relive the experience. I went to see Star Wars again in the theatre. It was truly magical, I felt like I was four again, and going to see my first movie. This movie will always be my favorite, sure there are other films that are arguably better. Try telling that to a four year old.
