I'm browsing chud like I sometimes do because those guys are some of the best minds when it comes to movies, one of my personal passions, and someone said that some people need to outgrow star wars. Outgrow one of the most phenomenal movies of all time that will live in history long after you and I are dead and worm food? What are you smoking? Cuz pass dat shit...
star wars is prettymuch why internet movie sites are even popular today. Regardless of where you come from, you probably started becoming addicted to the internet because of the phantom menace and witnessed the rise and fall of one of the greatest movie dissapointments of all time. But you can't deny that star wars changed everything about how movies today are promoted, produced, and subsequently discussed online. There are probably entire books written on the subject of how star wars built from scratch the fanboy community that flourishes to this day in all its virginity and pocket protector glory! Lucas may have fumbled the ball, but the legacy, the fans, the good times and bad will live on forever... I felt like I was a part of this world when it came to star wars. Everybody, of every race, loved it! Oh man, too bad it had to end so poorly..
Let's discuss the movie, though. I first saw star wars in 98. Yeah, I'm not one of the original trilogy gen. I'm a special edition boy... But it doesn't matter... It was the day my imagination exploded. I never knew something so fantastically genius existed until that day. The story was beyond anything I ever saw, the fx were brilliant, Yoda, the father/son dynamic, all that stuff... it was and still is great to me. No it's not high art, but it was all American happy good times for all. You have to give the kids a good time...
But anyway, Star wars changed everything for me about cinema. Whereas before I looked at movies as silly since all I watched were silly movies, here was something that had everything, silliness, depth, excellent art all, great memorable lines, the score hitting the right notes. star wars deserved its unbelievable one in a million success and to hell with anyone who disagrees with me. To hell!!!! damnit.
