Movie - Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)

Okay I know that everyone loves it, so I am just going to say it. Star Wars rocked!!!! I myself am a fan the original trilogy, episodes 4, 5 and 6. These movies started the huge war between the Star Trek fans -- I don't like Star Trek -- and the Star Wars fans. Everyone is always asking which is better and yet it can never be said because everyone has their own opinion on why they were the better one in their differences.

Episode 4 - A New Hope:
This movie was the very first Star Wars movie, made in 1977. This futuristic view of an everyday man turned into a hero was a huge hit the moment it came out. Gun fight, chase scenes, evil emperors, hot main characters and a woman in trouble..... kinda sounds like a western but with technology. At the beginning of this movie, it shows how normal and plain the main character, Luke Skywalker's life is. Like everyone his age, wanting something more, wanting something better. Soon after he realizes that his normal old life wasn't so bad. Then, the ever badass Han Solo, portrayed by Harrison Ford, shows up to help Luke with his journey. This movie marked the beginning of the original trilogy and the beginning of the Star Wars craze.

Episode 5 - The Empire Strikes Back:
Out of the original three, this movie was my favorite. It had the action, the strategy and Yoda. He rocks! When Luke goes to find out how to use his Jedi powers, passed-down to him, he encounters a short, green, powerful, old man who helps him. Being apart from his friends -- Han, Leia and C3P0 -- gives him time to concentrate on his own powers. Being apart from each other also gives Han and Leia time to argue uninterrupted...... except for one time by C3P0. Later in the movie, some people show up that give the audience a little understanding to what the main characters's pasts were like and how they came to be where they are now (an example would be Lando). This movie kicked the sci-fi genre's ass!!!!!

Episode 6 - Return of the Jedi:
The last movie that did the series justice. The fall of hope, no escape, close encounters with defeat.... sorry, I lost myself for a moment. This last movie put all of the missing pieces together, explains how this terrible war started, though you kinda have to figure it out yourself. And has an awesome conclusion.

Would I recommend this series to the world? Hell yes!!!! And if you don't watch it then you are way way behind the times and you obviously have no life, so watch it right now.... I can give you sites.
