Star Wars

Rewatched today and damn it holds up. Story flows, humor is great, and for 1977 it’s beautiful. My only gripe and this goes for the entire originals is the lightsaber fights and lightsabers in general. The fights just don’t compare to the prequels, the choreography isn’t great and you can tell George Lucas was imagining for something way beyond his budget and time. There are some problems, mainly for me is the empire elites referring to the force and Jedi as an “ancient religion” when it was 20 years ago and these dudes are like 60. Fym you don’t remember the largest organization of the galaxy when you were 40. I wish the movies could form a way for the Jedi times to be hundreds years old but I understand the continuity errors that would arise from that. I’ve never cared for space battles much so I wish there were more melee battles in this movie.
