May the force be with you!

It is really difficult to choose just one movie to say is my favorite. I really like The Lord of the rings, Batman Begins, the Bourne movies, and many more, but my absolute favorite movies are the original Star Wars trilogy. I know that this trilogy is not just one movie, but it is one complete story and so I think it counts. I grew up watching these movies dozens of times and I practically have them memorized word for word. My brother and I had a bunch of Star Wars action figures and we played Star Wars trivia all the time. I am a complete Star Wars geek. The reason I like these movies so much is that they take you to new worlds will fantastic creatures and the adventures that the main characters have are so exciting and suspenseful.

                Star Wars was so original when it came out in 1977 and it set the standard for every sci-fi movie to come after it. The “Force” was a new concept and the future in which Star Wars took place was gritty and not all new and shiny. The first time I watched Episode V the Empire Strikes Back, it blew my mind when I found out that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker’s father. I could feel the suspense when Luke destroyed the Death Star and when he confronted his father in the last epic duel in the Star Wars trilogy. The story line was really good and the acting was top notch. The main characters were Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader.   They were played by Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Kerri Fisher, and David Prowse respectively. Obi-Wan Kenobi was also a major character and was played by Alec Guinness.  George Lucas was the genius who wrote and directed Star Wars. I love these movies and I plan on showing them to my future children so they can enjoy the amazing world of Star wars as well.
