I'm having a Star Wars Nostalgia moment.

 

Star wars has achieved:

- Top selling movie franchise with 6 blockbusters.

- Countelss spin offs in games.

- Countless toys, T-shirts & so on.

- The BIGGEST Plot Twist in the history of cinema (I am your mother, luke).

- The 2nd BIGGEST Plot Twist in the history of cinema (Luke & Leia are brother & sister).

- BEGAN the Special FX movement (With SW Episode 4).

- Chaged the meaning of movie soundtracks with Star Wars.....one of the first sci-fi movies to have an Epic orchestrated sound track (with violins n stuff).

- Spawned 3 prequels which were back to back mega blockbusters.

- Brought 2 acting gems into the worl (Ewan Mcgregor & Natalie Portman).

- Made one of the most loved old people ever.....Master Yoda.

- Re-DEFINED the term epic.

Can you think of more?!

 

I don't consider myself much of a movie nerd anymore, but I just can't let this slide!

Ewan McGregor's big breakout movie was Trainspotting, Natalie Portman's was The Professional.

no but they were their debut films I think, not breakout movies but the movies that got them the spotlight. As Star Wars is MASSIVE, they got loads of exposure from it!

@scifiboy

Why?

The Star Wars Prequels are far better than 90% of the films churned out of movies today........I don't see whats so bad about them except for the acting.

Episode 1 was my first Star Wars so I can't ever hate tha film, Episode 2 was good for the last 10 min alone

Episode 3 according to critics as well redeemed star wars.

All this slagging of the prequels is getting quite old now.

@insomniac

COOL!

Our teachers aren't like that.

We got to see E.T in Religious Education though!
