My favorite movie series throughout my entire life. There are ups and downs in the series, but I think overall it is 100% still something that needs to be watched. It is also something that pushed the industry forward. Just look how Star Wars was received in 77.

I forgot about the title, and remembered when I was uploading it to the site, so I need to talk about that. "Rey Skywalker." Absolutely stupid. Not sure where they were going with it, but I understand the idea that in this world the name "Jedi" is both good and bad

I can vividly remember walking out of the theater in Arizona and having a huge complaint about this movie. Leia being Mary Poppins. She is blasted into space, and is able to wake up, calling on the force and float like Marry Poppins into the ship.
Star Wars
The story is iconic. Of course, it is. There is a reason there is something around 12 movies, 3 TV shows (at least good ones), tons of books, and some great and terrible video games. This story speaks to us and I think it is that why even today, just show of 50 years later, it is still

The fights both between force users against each other and non-force users like on Jabba's Barge are iconic and honestly awesome. There are so many scenes that just make you feel that you are there and really just get pulled into the events.

Ok, romance story and CGI woes out of the way. The cast does really well playing their characters. You can see the edges getting frayed and the mentality that will lead him to become Vader. That is really what these movies are about. The rise of Vader and his tyranny.

I can't tell you how many times I have seen this movie. Especially as a kid. I used to watch it on a small TV in the car between the front two seats that had a VHS player at the bottom. It was revolutionary for our car trips. However, I used to be able to quote this movie word-for-word.

The fight scenes are the best. I mean just look at Ewan and Hayden just spinning those things with such fluidity that it feels very natural. I remember seeing an interview, I think as part of the Obi-Wan TV show, where Ewan talked about them being so fast that they were told to slow down.

This movie appears to be a faithful adaptation of the book… for the most part. There are of course something that have been added or removed, but my wife read it and said it is pretty close. My wife did say that the book felt more serious in the book where the movie for sure lighthearted.

These movies have a huge nostalgic feeling for me. They are both simple and somewhat entertaining. I find myself a little more intrigued with the stories of Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie than Edward and Bella at times. These movies are at least worth watching once.

I will say, that if I were a vampire and had money for days, I'd buy an island too. That place was super cool. I am not sure how you get groceries with any regularity (I guess if you have money like Scrooge McDuck, then someone can drive it out to you), but that can be solved.
Movies
A "triumphant" return to better story telling. I mean that in straight sarcasm, because I can see what the movie is attempting to do when explaining the powers of Alice and Edward, but it is still wishy-washy. She can watch the future of people she chooses? All of their futures?
