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!

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

I'm going to share my thoughts on the movies themselves starting with the Original Trilogy.

I personally love this poster...especially Leia's eyes!

This movie is amazing and holds a special place in my love for Star Wars.  Some people complain that the movie is so old fashioned compared to the rest of the Original Trilogy, but I love it for that! You can see George Lucas is still figuring out his whole universe especially the lightsabers, characters, and the Force!

The characters are waaayyy to epic for their own good. I love Leia in this episode for all her pride and bossiness...and her buns! Han is awesome. Nuff' said. But many people think of Luke as a whiner.  I do think that George Lucas could have strengthened his character just a little at the beginning, but I don't think he is really a whiner.

"But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!"

The music is amazing.  John Williams is by far the best composer out there today. Most memorable pieces are probably Star Wars Main Title/ Rebel Blockade, Binary Sunset, Cantina Band, Princess Leia's Theme, and The Throne Room/ End Title.

If I was going to rate this movie, I would definitely give it a 10.  You couldn't be a true Star Wars fan if you gave this movie anything less.

I would appreciate it if you awesome people could spread the word out about this blog! I would REALLY appreciate it!
