The Original Is STAR WARS!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2015)

Anyone who has not seen the original 1977 Sci Fi film that pretty much started the giant wave of fandom, should stop what they're doing and watch the Despecialized Edition RIGHT NOW!!!
Star Wars has been in my life for as long as I can remember. It's more common in the world than I can even imagine. Anywhere you go, STAR WARS! STAR WARS! It's everywhere, and its all thanks to the original 1977 film that changed how movies are made and marketed.
All done independently, and self financed by George Lucas, who created a universe far greater than anyone imagined, probably more than Star Trek. Fantastic characters, a story that is timeless, a groundbreaking mythos, and some of the best special effects seen on the silver screen. Lightsabers and blasters, who doesn't wanna role play with a weapon of a Jedi knight after seeing this? Every kid wants to thrill in the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Lea, wither them re enacting scenes or playing with there action figures.
The film is also an inspiration for future filmmakers, with its cinematography, production design and fast pace story. It also gives them the idea of independent film making and self finances to make the movies they want to make, without the support of studios.
I'd highly recommend finding a copy of the original 1977 theatrical print, most notably the Despecialized Edition. All the special effects with the model spaceships are great to look at. That whole space battle at the Death Star will have you on the edge of you seat from beginning to end.
The score by John Williams is probably his greatest work. He created themes for the world that is equal to Lucas's writing.
Overall, Star Wars is one of the greatest films ever made and will continue to capture the hearts of billions for generations to come. It's not just a film, it's an experience. With a terrific cast, heartwarming characters, fantastic action scenes, fascinating special effects, an incredible score and a legendary world, George Lucas should have one the Oscar for Directing and Picture of the groundbreaking and historical film from a galaxy far, far away. 10/10
