Star Wars

It’s hard to separate this film from the franchise that followed and even harder to imagine what it must have been like to see it in theatres in 1977. The set, prop, costume, and character design is top notch and really takes you into the world, and the whole film just feels like it was made for the big screen. Unfortunately the version I had available to me was the 1997 special edition with all the cgi additions, so I’ll have to watch the original version to get the full experience. What I loved most about the film is that even though it’s set in space it still feels grounded and the world doesn’t feel unimaginably large. One of my favourite moments highlighting this was when Luke met up with an old friend from Tatooine at the rebel base. Overall a fantastic movie that still holds up to this day.
