Star Wars: A New Hope
Though Star Wars has always been around for me to watch, I never took the initiative to watch it until now. It was fairly easy for me to realize that it was et "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," where we learn of the adventures of Luke Skywalker, a lowly who finds himself stranded in the middle of an intergalactic civil war after encountering R2D2 and C3P0, which were two droids that had the secret and covert plans to help develop an engine of destruction known as the Death Star. It ends up that Luke ends up bringing both robots to Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, unexpectedly, Obi-Wan leads the diverse crew into the headquarters of the evil Empire via the starship of smuggler Han Solo and his Wookie sidekick, Chewbacca. The heroes ultimately rescue the captured Princess Leia and simultaneously escape the Death Star just in time to lead a rebel assault against the space station and its leader, Darth Vader. Star Wars, being the hit that it was, it’s clear that it resulted in a new technique with creating and conceptualizing films in Hollywood. In its efforts to obtain commercial success, Star Wars created a chain reaction of other high-budget films that were heavy on effects and novel, out-of-this-world concepts. Being released during a period where heroes were brought down by national catastrophes, it seems as if Star Wars brought the notion of a romantic hero back to life. Although it was the farthest thing from being realistic, it gave the people of the United States a chance to dream for new hopes and

    Flashback to the summer of 1977, the United States had just celebrated its bi-centennial, Jimmy Carter was in the White house, and the king of rock and roll was in his last days. A bright eyed and bushy tailed young filmmaker named George Lucas was about to launch his newly created project on the world, “Star Wars”. Lucas, not a pedigreed filmmaker by no means, is given the greenlight by 20th century Fox and the budget of 11 million dollars to film his creation. The film was released on Memorial Day weekend of that year, and we all know the rest is history.…

    Fried Green Tomatoes

    In Fannie Flagg’s esteemed novel, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, characters and lessons from both the past and present inspire our main character, Evelyn Couch, to make changes in her life. The epitome of middle-aged misery and menopausal depression, Evelyn learns lessons from the stories and advice given to her by characters such as Mrs. Virginia ‘Ninny’ Threadgoode help her lift the veil of gloom cloaking her and aid her in reestablishing her dreams and goals – such as gaining a healthier and happier marriage with her husband, Ed, or losing all her unnecessary pounds. What sparks her journey to this better life, one she can actually look forward to at night rather than considering suicide, are the stories of a small Alabama town in the 1930’s and the residents who fight for happiness in a difficult time; Evelyn takes these stories of times past and uses the morals and advice given by Ninny to face each of her problems and attack every day with confidence. The transformation Evelyn embarks on is a sign of how strong she, or anyone, can be when their head is in the game, and as we see Idgie still selling her foods at the end of the book, we conclude that the past can live on even into the present.…

    For over 30 years the world has been infatuated with that one galaxy far, far away. A galaxy that somehow always seems to be in turmoil, and yet is a place that we all wouldn't mind living in. Star Wars has been apart of my life from as far back as I can remember. When I was 5-years-old I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I distinctly remember saying that I wanted to be a Jedi Knight, and fly the Millennium Falcon. Not very realistic goals, I know, but it was the truth. Eventually, I did grow up and I had to look for real job, but my fascination and love for Star Wars still remained.…

    Star Wars is one of those film franchises that literally everyone knows about. Actually, I'm not sure you can even draw a comparison with any other franchise out there. I'm not sure that there's anything that can quite compare to the lasting impact that the Star Wars film series has. The original trilogy, the last film being released 32 years ago, has since spawned endless novels, video games, TV series, prequels and most importantly a rabid and devoted fan base who hold those original films very dear to their hearts. So, when Disney announced that it was planning on bringing back Star Wars for a seventh chapter, the hype was unimaginably high. In fact, I can't recall any other film that had exactly this amount of anticipation. Does it deliver the goods? Will it satisfy the endless craving for Star Wars that seemingly everyone in America has right now? In a word: yes. It is fair to enter this film with a degree of caution and uncertainty after watching the much-maligned Prequel trilogy. But, you can put those fears to rest. Episode 7 is miles better than Episodes I,II, and III and is even comparable with the original trilogy.…
