Star Wars

Well well well we meet again. As you may know from previous posts I'm a bit of nerd at times which, when combined with a few geekish qualities, makes me exceptionally cool right? I've been making an effort recently to watch some of the all-time-great films recently but one small film series that has avoided my radar since the age of ten or so is Star Wars. 

Actually you'd be surprised just how many people haven't seen these epics despite not being able to move in the world without hearing a quote of reference from the world of Skywalker. I'd watched a couple of the modern films when I was younger but I just got bored, apparently rightfully so, and decided that these films weren't for me. However in the past week I've watched the first two chronological films and just wow. I wouldn't go so far to say that my life would be over or it's changed in any way since seeing the originals but their defiantly worth seeing. 

Once I got sucked into the story and world(s) I even stopped thinking to myself how good the special effects were for a film made in the 70's and mostly they've stood the test of time pretty well. What I couldn't stop thinking, as with any film these days as I'm getting older, was "Is that what-his-name from you-know-that-film....aha I thought so". Although I do admit it did take me about 30 mins in before I knew what was going on but maybe that's just me being a bit slow when finishing off the beer purely so I could take the bottles down for recycling the next morning.

I'm watching The Empire Strikes Back as I write and I'm at the seen where we meet Yoda and I really can't help thinking which roll in The Muppets did this character take the roll of. It's a tiny bit laughable but I guess the film needed to be balanced out with some simple humor for the kids. Right if you don't mind I'm going to stop writing now and finish the film. I'll leave you with the following:


How is duct tape like the Force?
It has a Dark Side, a Light Side and binds the galaxy together!
