Star Wars Day


yes i am little bit early (less than 12 hours) but Happy Star Wars Day!! It will be the 30th anniversary of the release of the first umm fourth episode.

It is interesting that most people who watch Star Wars for the first time now don't really like it. Check out this guy's article.
So what is it that we like about it?
The fact that it was the first of its kind?
The story line?
The special effects?

Yes, I think Star Wars important in a historical context. You appreciate it more when you know that at the time this trilogy was completely revolutionary, not only for its special effects but because of its unique blend of the "monomyth" describing all the appealing aspects of a heroe's journey- fantasy and science fiction.

Nowadays several movies have been based on star wars, improving its basics and trying to reach a more modern audience (e.g. the matrix).

I thought Star Wars Day was the 4th of May i.e
"May the 4th be with you"
