Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977,  PG)
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
As a movie fan I would like to talk about a favorite film title from my childhood, and I still enjoy it today as a grown-up. The film is called Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope - or better known simply as just Star Wars. I think of it as THE BEST FILM EVER...in the sub-genres of science fiction, fantasy, action/adventure, and the box office hit as well as a geek's favorite.

It is a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Darth Vader and his Galactic Empire rule with an iron fist in the galaxy, the Jedi Knights are all but extinct, and the Rebel Alliance is fighting in a struggle to overthrow the space tyranny and restore peace and freedom for its people. The galaxy's new hope, Tatooine farmboy Luke Skywalker, leads space rogue Han Solo, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, and two droids - R2-D2 and C-3PO - to rescue Princess Leia in the Death Star, the space weapon with enough power to destroy an planet entirely. The Rebel Alliance, meanwhile, is concentrating on destroying the weapon.

Many of the film's best memorable quotes will keep me awake at night, including:
1.) "Don't you dare call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease." (C-3PO)
2.) "If there's a bright center in the universe, you're on the planet that is farthest from." (Luke Skywalker)
3.) "I find your lack of faith disturbing." (Darth Vader)
4.) "Watch your mouth kid, or you'll find yourself floating home." (Han Solo)
5.) "The force will be with you...always." (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
6.) "Would somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?" (Princess Leia)
7.) "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate our chances. (Grand Moff Tarkin)

When I first watched it on TV at age 11, I had no idea that Star Wars was some sort of a modern-day fairy tale, given with elements such as knights, sword fights, and the rescue of a princess added along with a good text opening. It also has the best instrumental music soundtrack composed by John Williams, which is very dramatic and moving to fit in with the perfect sequences. Already raised by superhero-dominated Saturday morning cartoons, I feel like that the film changed my life as I now see Luke Skywalker as the greatest hero in galactic mythology; this is an element that I want to include in my own space fantasy story that I'd like to write someday. Besides the space opera setting, Star Wars radically changed special effects (SFX) through THX, Skywalker Sound, and Industrial Light & Magic, which made the action here excellent. Not only its blockbuster success lead to five sequels, similar sci-fi/fantasy knock-offs also followed; without Star Wars movie fans probably won't have later film titles like The Lord Of The Rings or Harry Potter. For those who haven't seen Star Wars yet, you should check it out what I call a highly recommended classic that no one should miss. You'll remember how one sci-fi film from the 1970s influenced modern-day cinema and pop culture forever.

One of my favorite film titles from my childhood, The Empire Strikes Back is a fan favorite due to its emotional plot plus some memorable moments, and it's a usual case that the first sequel either improves or does as good as its predecessor. And like the previous Star Wars movie, I know that this is another modern-day fairy tale, but it's also a tale of revenge. The Imperials may have been defeated with their Death Star destruction, but all Vader wants is to lure Luke into the seductive dark side. Already raised by superhero-dominated Saturday morning cartoons, I see Luke Skywalker as a great hero in galactic mythology. The special effects (SFX) here are excellent - I find the scenery of Hoth and Bespin very real-looking to me. It's always good to have the instrumental music soundtrack composed by John Williams to fit with the dramatic sequences. With all such elements, I think of this Star Wars episode as THE BEST FILM EVER...in the sub-genres of science fiction, fantasy, action/adventure, and the box office hit as well as a geek's favorite. And it's also a highly recommended classic that you don't want to miss.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983,  PG)
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
Return to a galaxy far, far away. Han Solo is frozen in carbonite as the prisoner of the gangster Jabba the Hutt, so his friends attempt a rescue. But Chewie is imprisoned, and Leia, R2-D2, and Hutt makes C-3PO as his slave. Luke and his companions are all sentenced to death yet he performs the most spectacular rescue ever. He then joins the rebellion while his companions launch their final attack against the empire's new but incomplete Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor. Meanwhile, Luke fights in what was the ultimate lightsaber duel with Darth Vader as the Emperor attempts to turn Luke to the dark side.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi is directed by Richard Marquand, produced by Howard Kazanjian, and executive-produced by George Lucas. Its cast includes returning roles as well as new ones:
1.) Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker)
2.) Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher)
3.) Harrison Ford (Han Solo)
4.) David Prowse (Darth Vader)
5.) James Earl Jones (Voice of Darth Vader)

10.) Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian)
11.) Frank Oz (Yoda)
12.) Denis Lawson (Wedge Antilles)
13.) Warwick Davis (Wicket)

Within the best of the movie's dialogue, here are its four of my favorite memorable quotes that will keep me awake all night:
1.) "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am." (Darth Vader)
2.) "This bounty hunter is my kind of scum." (Jabba the Hutt)
3.) "When 900 years old you reach, look as good, you will not!" (Yoda)
4.) "It's against my programming to impersonate a deity." (C-3PO)
5.) "I'm a Jedi, like my father before me." (Luke Skywalker)

The Star Wars film saga makes its exciting conclusion with the Return Of The Jedi, and by doing that it needs a return of Anakin Skywalker to the light side, the final destruction of the Sith and the Galactic Empire, the victory of the Rebel Alliance, not to mention the final lightsaber duel that Luke needs to finish when he fights Vader back in The Empire Strikes Back. Plus, the film can't be complete if it weren't for the exploding action and its special effects (SFX) taking place in space and on the planets; they all blew my mind away as if I sat next to the screen. And what about the Ewoks? They, including Wicket, are credited to be the cutest alien creatures ever to appear on the film series, and they surely looked brown Muppets to me. With all such elements I can say that this Star Wars episode is, like the previous two films (and Episode III), THE BEST FILM EVER...in the sub-genres of science fiction, fantasy, action/adventure, and the box office hit as well as a geek's favorite. The circle is now complete, and I liked it! I'm glad that it's over, but there's also an Expanded Universe of further stories left open for me to explore...

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002,  PG)
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
A Jedi shall not know anger. Nor hatred. Nor love. These are the words of the Jedi Code that cannot be broken, and any contempt or personal attachments could lead a Jedi drawn into the dark side of the Force. Set 10 years after the Battle of Naboo back in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Attack Of The Clones continues the story of Anakin's journey to the dark side while divided over his loyalties between the Jedi and the former queen Padme Amidala. Meanwhile, the Separatists under Count Dooku declared their intentions to secede from the Republic. This causes Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to approve the creation of a clone army made up entirely of copies of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. After an unsuccessful assassination attempt on the senator, Anakin was assigned to work as a bodyguard for Padme, who resists the creation of the clone army, resulting in a love attachment that is considered as forbidden by the Jedi Order.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones was directed by George Lucas and has good acting performances from the following cast members:
1.) Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
2.) Natalie Portman (Padme Amidala)
3.) Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker)
4.) Christopher Lee (Count Dooku)
5.) Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu)
6.) Kenny Baker (R2-D2)
7.) Anthony Daniels (C-3PO)
8.) Ian McDiarmid (Supreme Chancellor Palpatine)
9.) Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett)
10.) Daniel Logan (Boba Fett)
11.) Frank Oz (Yoda)
12.) Jimmy Smits (Senator Bail Organa)
13.) Silas Carson (Ki-Adi-Mundi/Nute Gunray)
14.) Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks)

The second episode (and fifth installment) of the Star Wars saga features some of the most memorable quotes:
1.) "Why do I get the feeling that you're going to be the death of me?" (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
2.) "May the force be with you." (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
3.) "Are you allowed to love? I thought it was forbidden for a Jedi." (Padme Amidala)
4.) "Someday I will be the most powerful Jedi ever!" (Anakin Skywalker)
5.) "I will create a grand army of the Republic to counter the increasing threat of the Separatists." (Supreme Chancellor Palpatine)
6.) "I have a bad feeling about this." (Anakin Skywalker)
7.) "Begun, the Clone War has." (Yoda)

After watching Episode I - The Phantom Menace I expected the next chapter to be as great as the last one while expecting Anakin to run into more trouble(s) that would draw him into the dark side. Upon seeing this film, I knew the action got a little bit better, but the story got a little slower according to the critics. Although I didn't agree with their negative reviews I understand them; there is a big romance subplot in the middle of it, and the best action doesn't happen until the Battle of Geonosis (including that sequence with the execution arena that made Star Wars look like Gladiator). Plus, even with Jar Jar now receiving a lesser role here he should have spoken his lines in a proper accent. Again, like Episode I, Attack Of The Clones isn't necessarily perfect to the flawless level, yet it still isn't bad at all. The acting performances here are very excellent, with Hayden Christensen showing signs of rebellion against his mentor like a teenager. I still like to watch the film for great viewing entertainment to see the action, adventure, and special effects (SFX), especially when I get excited with Yoda as a Gandhi figure gone Rambo in a lightsaber duel with Dooku.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999,  PG)
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
Every generation has a legend. Every journey has a first step. Every saga has a beginning. Taking place some 30 years before Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, the story of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace goes as the greedy Trade Federation stopped trade and blockaded the planet Naboo. Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi came in to force a settlement to the conflict. They meet Queen Amidala and head to Courscant. Meanwhile at Tatooine, Qui-Gon encounters someone who is strong in the Force, which lead the Jedi Council into thinking he was the Chosen One. That one was the 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker, the pod-racing boy who is unaware that the journey he begins will transform him into the evil Darth Vader. Darth Sidious, who apprenticed Darth Maul to have a light-saber duel with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan on Naboo, lurks to doom the galaxy and hoping to take revenge against the Jedi over his fallen Sith order.

Star Wars: Episode I was directed by George Lucas and features the following cast members who spoke good dialogue both in English and Huttese throughout the film:
1.) Liam Neeson (Qui-Gon Jinn)
2.) Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
3.) Natalie Portman (Queen Amidala/Padme)
4.) Jake Lloyd (Anakin Skywalker)
5.) Frank Oz (Yoda)
6.) Ian McDiarmid (Senator Palpatine)
7.) Kenny Baker (R2-D2)
8.) Anthony Daniels (C-3PO)
9.) Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks)
10.) Ray Park (Darth Maul)
11.) Pernilla August (Shmi Skywalker)
12.) Silas Carson (Ki-Adi-Mundi/Nute Gunray)
13.) Terence Stamp (Chancellor Valorum)
14.) Oliver Ford Davies (Sio Bibble)
15.) Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu)

Memorable quotes are all over the first episode (and fourth installment) of this Star Wars film, including:
1.) "I have a bad feeling about this." (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
2.) "Meesa Jar Jar Binks." (Jar Jar Binks)
3.) "Are you an angel?" (Anakin Skywalker)
4.) "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge." (Darth Maul)
5.) "Patience, my blue friend." (Qui-Gon Jinn)
6.) "May the force be with you." (Qui-Gon Jinn)
7.) "Fear is a path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." (Yoda)
8.) "Now this is pod-racing!" (Anakin Skywalker)

For longtime diehard fans, 16 years of waiting for the new Star Wars movie finally came with the May 1999 release of Star Wars: Episode I. But for me, this was my first in the series to be theatrically viewed. I was learning and watching a lot of the classic trilogy on the VHS set months earlier when The Phantom Menace came out, so I had to watch how the Star Wars film saga began. Even it's been long after my late '90s childhood I knew that this episode was still fun and great with raging battles battles featuring pod-racers, Naboo starfighters, and Jedi. Despite the $429 million smash at the box office, I think the film would have been better if Anakin was a young teenager instead of a child and Jar Jar Binks, Watto, and the Neimodians learned how to speak properly without sparking any racist accusations. While The Phantom Menace isn't necessarily perfect to the flawless level, it's not that bad at all. The acting performances are very excellent, including that of Ewan McGregor who could play a young adult version of Alec Guinness's Kenobi character. I still like to watch the film for great viewing entertainment to see the action, adventure, and special effects (SFX), especially when I get amused by the concept of midi-chlorians playing in the role of the mystery of the Force.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005,  PG-13)
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
The saga is now complete. And the Sith has returned. The story of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith leaves where Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones left off: Evil is everywhere. The Clone Wars are raging over the galaxy for three years. There are heroes on both Republic and Separatist sides and the evil droid-looking General Grievous attacks. Anakin Skywalker is haunted by nightmares of his wife Padme Amidala dying in childbirth, so he seeks Palpatine (a.k.a. Darth Sidious) for help and better counsel while challenging Obi-Wan Kenobi's authority, leading to his ascent to the dark side of the Force as Darth Vader. Over the galaxy, the silence of Sith oppression falls with the formation of the Galactic Empire out of the fragile Republic, but broken only the birth of future Rebel Alliance members Luke and Leia.

Returning from Attack Of The Clones for their respective roles as well as new characters - and directed by George Lucas, of course - this Star Wars story chapter has very good dialogue from the following cast members:
1.) Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
2.) Natalie Portman (Padme Amidala)
3.) Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader)
4.) James Earl Jones (Darth Vader's voice)
5.) Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious)
6.) Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu)
7.) Kenny Baker (R2-D2)
8.) Anthony Daniels (C-3PO)
9.) Frank Oz (Yoda)
10.) Jimmy Smits (Senator Bail Organa)
11.) Temuera Morrison (Commander Cody)
12.) Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca)
13.) Christopher Lee (Count Dooku)
14.) Silas Carson (Ki-Adi-Mundi/Nute Gunray)

Star Wars: Episode III has the following memorable quotes that I'll never forget:
1.) "This is where the fun begins." (Anakin Skywalker)
2.) "Oh, I have a bad feeling about this." (Obi-Wan Kenobi)
3.) "The dark side of the force has many abilities some consider to be unnatural." (Palpatine)
4.) "Every single Jedi, including your friend Obi-Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic." (Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine)
5.) "Execute Order 66." (Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine)
6.) "Destroy the Sith we must." (Yoda)
7.) "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy." (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader)

After 28 years since the release of the first Star Wars, it was an exciting moment for fans everywhere that Sith happens as the Sith hits the fan with the sixth and final installment of the film series. Since the release of The Phantom Menace in 1999, I had anticipated for Anakin's descent into the dark side, and six years later, I was so glad to experience it theatrically twice and when purchasing the DVD during its release. The action sequences are beyond excellent with special effects (SFX) that created great space battles and - in the best movie moment ever - the long epic, fierce lightsaber duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan. And so are the acting performances - I thank Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman for being the film saga's best romantic couple here. It's way better than the previous two episodes for a dark, scary story - which is why Episode III is rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and intense images (all other episodes are rated PG). Straight from the Flixster Top 50, I think of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith as definitely THE BEST MOVIE EVER in the genres of action/adventure, science fiction, and the hit blockbuster, and my favorite film of 2005. With Star Wars: Episode III being part of this space opera saga at its finest, I'll watch it all over again for the classic action, adventure, and SFX that will blow my mind away. So, what the heck are you waiting for? Don't miss it.

Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy (2004,  Unrated)
Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy
Empire Of Dreams: The Story Of The Star Wars Trilogy goes behind the scenes in the making of the original Star Wars trilogy, which forever changed the way movies are made, seen, and heard. It reveals how independent filmmaker George Lucas changed the rules of cinema when his box office hit shaped the way we see and create films. I remember seeing parts of the 151-minute documentary on TV, but when I bought the DVD set for the Star Wars trilogy, I watched it so I could see the behind-the-scenes work, interviews, and all of the other featured stuff. It gave me some important facts from it, including my favorite one: "Blue Harvest" was the code name of Return Of The Jedi, which was originally titled Revenge Of The Jedi. Yeah, I guess I learned a lot from the making of the first three Star Wars movies - and it was, in many ways, educational. Directed by Edith Becker and Kevin Burns and starring George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, James Earl Jones, Peter Mayhew, Frank Oz, and Billy Dee Williams.

It may be corny due to weird costumes, silly acting, and poor picture quality, but I like it: I find Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saves The World as a fun example of Turkish science fiction and film plagiarism. Why? There are clips of Star Wars bootlegged into the filming sequences, thus earning the film its popularly known name, Turkish Star Wars; not to mention it borrows soundtracks from films like Raiders Of The Lost Ark and Flash Gordon. Oddly enough, the desert planet that the heroes landed on reminds me a lot of Tatooine. When TSW was released in 1982, Turkey was in political turmoil and foreign films were not easily acquired and were often remade with a Turkish setting and cast. I know there are plenty of more Turkish versions of American films but this Star Wars-based film is so memorable that I would like to see it again.

Not long ago in a galaxy not far away comes Robot Chicken: Star Wars, which brazenly combines the satirical sensibilities of Seth Green and Matthew Senreich's stop-motion animated characters with the memorable moments and favorite characters of the Star Wars universe - including, its creator, George Lucas. Whether it's Jar Jar meeting Darth Vader or the battle of "Yo Momma" jokes, such funny humor is everywhere and I like it so much. This Robot Chicken special is the must-have for Star Wars fans.

Family Guy - Blue Harvest (2008,  Unrated)
Family Guy - Blue Harvest
It is a long time ago but somehow in the future...in, of course, a galaxy far, far away. With the Griffin family stuck at home during a blackout, Peter begins to tell a story, which leads to a Star Wars flashback based on Episode IV - A New Hope. Darth Vader and his Galactic Empire rule with an iron fist in the galaxy while the Rebel Alliance is fighting in a struggle to overthrow the space tyranny and restore peace and freedom for its people. Tatooine farmboy Luke Skywalker, leads space rogue Han Solo, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, and two droids - R2-D2 and C-3PO - to rescue Princess Leia in the Death Star, the space weapon with enough power to destroy an planet entirely. The Rebel Alliance, meanwhile, is concentrating on destroying the weapon.

Directed by Dominic Polcino, Family Guy - Blue Harvest features great voice-acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Seth MacFarlane (Darth Vader/C-3PO/Han Solo/Chewbacca)
2.) Alex Borstein (Princess Leia)
3.) Seth Green (Luke Skywalker)
4.) Mila Kunis (Meg Griffin)
5.) Mike Henry (R2-D2)

One of my favorite episodes of the show, this is a great Star Wars reenactment in animated quality with our favorite characters taking on their respective movie roles. It's Star Wars compressed into 48 minutes (or 60 if you count commercial time). I find it wise for the Family Guy creators to take the title of Blue Harvest from a secret code name of the Return Of The Jedi production and then use it as their episode title. Also, it's great to see Seth Green do his Skywalker role this time, having parodied Star Wars back in Robot Chicken earlier. With all of these things, yes, I did like it - I always watch this episode every time it's on TV as a rerun. This is a must-see for Star Wars and Family Guy fans alike, so enjoy it when you have the time. :-)

George Lucas in Love
I liked "George Lucas In Love" (a title reference to "Shakespeare In Love") for the true story of how the young George Lucas got his ideas for "Star Wars". There's lots of good stuff here; among of them include an asthmatic rival (Darth Vader), a backwards-talking adviser (Yoda), and a bun-hairdo beauty (Princess Leia). This short film really got me into understanding how the "Star Wars" ideas really came true out of advice from the characters as well as the people that GL saw in film school. I give "George Lucas In Love" four stars!
