Star Wars

In 1977, a new movie came out called "Star Wars: A New Hope". Many people went to see it, having seen the advertisements and thinking that the film would be good. They were wrong. Way wrong. It wasn't good. IT WAS AMAZING. The computerized characters scenes, battles, and almost everything in the movie were spectacular-no one had seen anything like it before, since computers were just coming out. My mom went to see it when it came out, and she was about 16 years old. She said that "the whole idea of being in space was just unbelievable". Soon after, all kinds of action figures, movie posters, and even bedspreads came out with Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader printed all across them. Young, beautiful Princess Leia became the new crush of every fourth grade boy, and they didn't even care that her real name was Carrie Fisher. Even now, these movies are still popular, and my mom and I have been in the process of watching every one of them in order. I had never seen them before, and I think they're fabulous movies. They have great stories, plots, characters, computer animation, battles, and even romance. And after this movie first came out, new ideas began to form, and the next movies came out. The first half of the saga came out after the second half, which is weird, and sort of confusing. Other ideas sprang up for new types of movies, and I think that without Star Wars, we wouldn't have movies like Narnia, Harry Potter, WALL:E (and any Pixar movie, for that matter), Bridge to Terabithia, and all those others that are just ordinary movies to us today. But way back when, these movies would have been great, but not as great as the saga of Star Wars, which still lives on today, and hopefully forever.
