I like to watch movies, too, but there are some which you
just have to watch over and over again. Star
Wars, for example. If you love it, you're probably a nerd, but
if you don't, you're a geek. And if you don't love Bobba Fett, well...
how can you not love Boba Fett!?!
If anything was so prevalent as to awaken my consciousness
to the other possible realities, it was this show. I was only like
6 years old when this show first came out, so I didn't really see the show
(at least not with any real comprehension), but it was enough to instill
within me the sense of adventure which exuded from it like heat waves.
I didn't really become a big fan until The Empire Strikes Back, but
that was only because I was too young to even comprehend the original Star
Wars. Besides, just because I started late doesn't mean that I can't
be a fan. It is not just the adventure which makes Star Wars so good,
though. It's everything. The drama, the evil plots, the hero
facing larger than life obstacles in order to save the world, the universe,
from certain peril. The starships, the laser guns,
but most importantly, the light sabers... these are all things which you
just wish you could play with. And the Force, what is that?
If only I had the Force, Luke. Ah, but wait, maybe I do and just don't
know it. I suppose it doesn't really matter though. After all,
even if I did have it, who would teach me to use it? Oh well, I really
don't need to say much more, as Star Wars really speaks for itself.
George Lucas is a bad ass. ILM will rule special FX forever.
And I refuse to believe that Boba Fett is dead, dammit!
