i guess the star wars epsiode 4 came out at a time when sci fi flicks were a joke. un lang kasi ang medyo matinong sci fi film na lumabas during the time when the Gen-Xers were still kids. Ung special effects niya at the time were superb, considering the kind of resources they had back then(la pang CGI nun B).

isa pa, i think it's kind of like why fellow Gen-Xers went to see the Voltes V movie even without their kids' prodding -- and to think the animation really sucks by today's standards.

medyo disappointing talaga ung episodes 1 and 2 -- some say ung acting, some say the effects aren't that cool. pero tingin ko kasi, halos alam mo na rin ung istorya even before you set foot on the movie house. i mean, alam mong magiging darth vader si Annakin, si Yoda magiging rambling hermit, etc.

tsaka parang bumaligtad kasi ng roles e. a lot of movies took a lot of material from episodes 4, 5, and 6 -- minsan me maririnig kang lines or makikitang scenes that are an obvious rip-off from the first 3. sa episodes 1 and 2 feeling ko they took material from other movies naman -- e.g. ung pagland ng storm troopers to rescue the jedis kinda reminded me of combat movies involving a chopper

...and natalie portman didn't show that much skin on episode 2. compare mo naman yan sa episode 6, were leia was in a metal bikini -- in chains :D

sad to say, si Harrison Ford lang ung sumikat sa Star Wars trilogy
