Star Wars Review

Star Wars Review

                Star Wars is a great movie for several reasons. The first is that for its time the special effects were amazing especially with the budget that George Lucas had to work with. The explosions, sound effects and models were amazing and that is a huge part of why Star Wars was successful when it came out. Effects like that had never been seen before.

                Another reason why Star Wars was so successful and is still a major hit is because of the originality of the movie. It is true that it is a movie where the hero wins in the end but the level on which the plot took place and the in depth story line provided not only from the movie but also the books makes it much deeper than just another hero persevering in the end. Star Wars’ ability to capture the audience and make them feel like part of the saga is, in my opinion, like no other movie. Star Wars has been able to withstand the test of time and is still a American household classic with the help of mass merchandising and multiple books as well as sequels and prequels to the movie.
