Ah the the orginal star wars trilogy series of movies starting luke skywalker and the rebel alliance fighting against the evil tyrannical galactic empire being led by awesome darth vader and his master darth sidious. The series of flims ranged from 1977 to 1983 kickstarting a series of tv shows trilogies of movies and a empire of toys. Today However im going to talk about why the original star wars trilogy is one of my top favorite flim moments of all time. Seriously watching part iv a new hope aged really well in my opinion just look at the set designs and puperteer work by the famous jim henson studios (seasme street, the muppets, and the dark crystal and labyrinth) for the various alien life forms that inhabit the world of star wars. space battles, storm troopers and the well dressed commanders of the empire. The story of the films made me love the movies even though they are corny and simple in todays eyes let me tell you that they are legendary and memorable because of it. Also the other characters like han solo, princess leia, chewbacca, master yoda and so much more awesome characters than you can even count. Also how the films are shot are breath taking in my opinon to young people that are from the 2000s and 2010s the flims seem like high budgeted 1950's style sci fi flicks. But they are not they are classics and they barely had 3D correction only the lightsabers had a sort of computer effect to them and the sets are made of non 3d material like out of props which is breath taking concerning these films are made back in the late 70's early 80'.That's really impressive. Also the space battles and light saber duels between luke and darth vader in the empire strikes back has to be my favorite movie moment in all of cinema not just in star wars.
When I first watch this scene when I was a kid I was like WHATTT DARTH VADER WAS LUKES SKYWALKERS FATHER! That right there is good writing and people didint supected it it wasnt an asspull but instead how to properly use a plot twist. Most modern movies copy this fomula because it was mostly one of the first of its kind to use this trope im am your father. I know people have problems with the furry Ewoks but I dont have any problem with them being the cute beings that live on endor. Unlike most fans I dont mind them at all they are just natives to the planet endor but that last major battle on the return of the jedi after their long duel while emperor palptine watches. Due to Luke refusing to kill darth vader and turning into the dark side the emperor gets fustrated to the point he uses force lighting to kill luke skywalker darth vader realises what he has become as well as being loyal to the emperor or to save his son from being killed. As a result darth vader sacrifices himself in order to save luke. Right here is how you redeem a character after he sacrifices his life to save a loved one (meaning his son). Even the lightsaber duels even improved from the first two movies which is impressive due to having more of a budget as a result.
Speaking of Luke Skywalker his fast forward to last year and how disney treated luke and his friends like they are a plot device to move the new characters forward which really pissed me off because at the end of the last jedi luke killed im self by using all of his force energy to teleport confront kylo ren. I just end it at that because the last jedi is such a terrible movie that I get angry even thinking about it. While I was watching this on youtube a random comment on youtube made me laugh a little and agreeing with it heres the quote "Whose here for therapy after watching The Last Jedi..." My hatred for the last jedi will be another blog post in the future because I GOT A TON OF REASONS WHY I HATED THAT FLIM AND IT NEEDS A LONG DUE THRASHING. So I conclude with this post saying that this is my opinion at the end of the day and your subjective to your own. im not trying to be cool and hip saying the other trilogies suck and the orginal is the best one.
