Dir. George Lucas (1977)
Rated PG I won't give a summary of this movie, because I'm pretty sure anyone that reads this knows at least vaguely what happens in Star Wars. I am the last person in my class to watch this by a LONG run, because I have never been into sci-fi-fi movies. Regarding Star Wars, I always just thought I would hate it (sorry to offend). I had a change of heart after everyone in my film class talked about it, and after the newest one got so much hype. So I figured I would watch them (or at least try to). The movies themselves are in such a weird order. So THIS one is this first movie made in the series, even though it's technically the fourth. I still don't really understand it but whatever. I really wanted to like this movie. I didn't really, but I thought it was kind of adorable. All the special effects are from the 70s, and while it was probably groundbreaking at the time, it looks like a stage production compared to the movies made in 2018. That being said, the characters were really cute and lovable even from the first movie, so I can see why this has such a huge fanbase. My personal favorite was R2D2. The plot itself was hard to follow (at least for me), and it took a lot of focus for me to watch the entire thing through without getting distracted. I really didn't think it was all that great. (I'm really sorry. I feel like I'm offending people even as I write this even though only like two people read this.) However, even though the first movie doesn't give that much of the story overall because there are so many movies, it was nice to watch this because now at least I know the basis of Star Wars and have a small introduction to the characters. I used to have no idea what Star Wars was actually about or what it entailed, so at least I'm not totally in the dark now. This isn't my kind of movie/series at all, but I'm not going to write them off yet. I'm going to try to watch the second one soon, so stay tuned.
