You get the picture right? Stormtrooper 365 is a set by Stefan, who took a picture of these two stormtroopers every day for a year starting April 3, 2009 and ending April 4, 2010. Stefan is also doing some on Indiana Jones, Boba Fett, and Admiral Ackbar. Check it out!

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

This movie is definitely different from the Original Trilogy because of the animation, characters, and time.  I think of all the episodes, this is probably my least favorite.  I don't hate it like many people do, but I do think it is the weakest episode.  Still it does have some exciting concepts in it such as we meet the young Darth Vader or Anakin when he was a boy, Luke and Leia's mother, Padme, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who is a character we already know from the Original Trilogy, the epic Darth Maul, Chancellor Palpatine, who is  the person behind the whole Galactic Empire, and then Jar-Jar Binks.

"Dissen berry berry bad!"

Many old Star Wars fans (by old I mean the people who watched the Original Trilogy in theaters when it was released) find Jar-Jar Binks extremely annoying.  I do think he is a somewhat strange sidekick for Star Wars, but he isn't half as bad as some people say he is.  In fact, I think some of the funniest scenes involve Jar-Jar Binks and his clumsiness. 

The music by John Williams is excellent (of course!) and exciting. Some memorable pieces are Dual of the Fates, Anakin's Theme, Panaka and and the Queen's Protectors, and Qui-Gon's Noble End.

Overall I would give the movie a nine and the soundtrack, a ten.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

I remember when I watched this for the first time.  From the moment it started to the moment it ended, I was glued to the screen and did not see or hear anything else. This episode has the most action in the Original Trilogy, and George Lucas ended the whole story with one of the most satisfying endings I have ever watched.

I am not as impressed with the beginning in Jabba's Palace. I definitely think there could have been a different way to rescue Han, but as soon as Jabba's Sail Barge explodes, things begin to pick up speed.  We get our first real look at the Emperor, find out Luke and Leia's history, discover Ewoks, and so much more! I must say that Darth Vader's turn from the dark side is one of my favorite parts in the whole Star Wars Saga...besides the Anakin vs Obiwan fight. 

The music is awesome though not the strongest soundtrack. Some popular pieces are The Pit of Carkoon/ Sail Barge Assault, Luke and Leia, The Emperor's Throne Room, Parade of the Ewoks, and Victory Celebration/ End Title.

I would give this movie either a nine or ten. I can't decide..XD

Which of the Original Trilogy is your favorite?

The Star Wars Saga

Thanks to all my followers: Aayla Rain, Stilwater, Shena Tokala, Edessa, Solace Utara, Robyn, Arda, Jamie, and The Director! You guys are awesome! :D

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

 

The Empire Strikes Back is probably one of the most exciting, edge-of-seat, movies in the Star Wars trilogy.  You can't help but scream, "NOOOOO!!!!!" when Han is carbon frozen...even if you have watched it over and over again like I have. And then of course we get our first look at Yoda, the former master Jedi who we know nothing about until the prequel trilogy, and Boba Fett! He is one of the most awesome, mysterious characters in the whole Star Wars series.

The romance in this movie was very classic and beautiful. I wish we could see more of that today! I just have to say that I love Princess Leia, not just for being the most epic and awesome character ever, but for her whole attitude to Han.  She did not see him and immediately think, "Wow! This guy is super super hot!" and then go and flirt with him. Instead, she kept her distance until she knew him for the true person he really was. Admit it! How many movies do we see now a days where they have women like that?!

"I love you!" 

"I know."

This soundtrack especially is very well done with a huge amount of emotion.  Even listening to the soundtrack as background music, I can feel the emotion when the rebels evacuate Hoth or when Leia kisses Han or even the betrayal when Han, Leia, and the rest are captured by the Empire.

The soundtrack and movie completely deserve five stars.

Stand up to Cancer...with Star Wars

This movie has a special meaning for me as my mother had cancer just a year ago. I found this movie on Starwars.com in the humor section, and they also have another one of these if you want more laughs! Laughs guaranteed!
