for me it was Episode I (screen) (vhs) (dad)

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2017)

Back to summer 80, this was the 2nd movie our parents took us to watch on a big screen and the next day, i got fever because i had been so impressed by this scary bad robot guy ! But things get better soon because i became a avid player of Kenner SW toys and keep making stories with them up to 1987 In a way, this movie (like the 2 others) has imprint my imagination like no others : it was like i got new cells in my brain or 2 more eyes while this universe was as deep inside me as in a galaxy far away And remember, in the 80s, we didn't have the tapes, books, articles and digital things to go on : so the audience was really left alone with its memories !
Maybe it's because this movie has mythological stuff, or a Zen director (Kershner) or a incredible cast (Harrison, Mark & Carrie were the Harry, Ron and Hermione of our time) but at the end, it's a amazing space Odyssey from ice planet, to asteroids, to a swamp forest and a luminous city in the air ! Even today no movie can offer such exotic Scifi and that's why i got always a special vibration watching it, and in addition today, it's the special edition !
Like Episode IV, the picture is superb with sharp colors ! The new Wampa left me cold while Cloud city is really beautiful : like my previous reviews, we can catch Lucas in deep lying as he sounds like he had all the details right from the start while he found them all along the way ! Also done last time, the radical hero (Luke) goes on with his brainwashing : On Dagobah, he enrolls in a school to forget all the things he learns so far and accepts the only truth ! For sure, his own feelings are forbidden and he must obey the master ! This Decider article is really twisted but it would be great to hear Lucas comment on this lecture because it seems that SW fans support indeed a sort of fundamentalism against official law...
