Review of Star Wars (1977) by Kyle S — 08 Jun 2016

Star Wars is what cinema is all about. Creative work, originality, charm, memorable characters, and the truest form of art and entertainment. These films truly bring you to another world that resonates a feeling of familiarity. People and cultures from all edges of our world are brought together by these films, and with an impact that large, you just know that it's something special.

Star Wars always had the cutting edge effects of its age and, to this day, still proves to be incredibly entertaining. I find myself many times just smiling throughout the film out of pure enjoyment as I get to witness timeless cinema.

After the first release of Star Wars, Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fischer became icons over night. Even today when they were back on the big screen for The Force Awakens, they had the presence of legends.

Star Wars is where imagination comes to life for not only children, but for adults as well. Star Wars is the reason for so many people to become involved with film, and this reason alone is one of many reason why Star Wars is one of the greatest films in of all time.

The production of the films is what I love the most to see in cinema. The practical effects of puppetry, modeling, painting, stop motion animation and countless other artistic talents are combined into each and every one of Star Wars' original trilogy. The reason why the newer Star Wars trilogy wasn't received as well is because those films lost all of the artistic talent that was put into the original trilogy.

Very few films are or ever will be like Star Wars.

Star Wars: 5 stars.

The Empire Strikes Back: 5 stars.

Return of the Jedi: 4.5 Stars.
