Like many others (in the millions) I was bowled over by "Star Wars" when it came out. Suddenly, we were in a new world of special effects which had never previously existed. No more wobbly flying saucers, like films in the 1940s and 1950s. This was as good as it could get, surely?
Couple the new technology with a good story line, add a whole galaxy to operate in and you have the recipe for an enormous success. That is what it has been ever since the first film appeared, way back in 1977.Often described as a "space opera", it was created by George Lucas and a series of three films was released at three-year intervals.
The films are the first appearance of the "force" which can be used both for good and for ill. The Jedi knights are the good exponents of this force and, such has been the impact of this that considerable numbers of people in the UK completed the "Religion" section of their ten yearly census as "Jedi"!
STAR WARS AND STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC ARE THE VERY FINEST OF TALES ABOUT THE DISTANT FUTURE IN A FARAWAY PLACE. NOW - PLAY THE GAMES AND GET THE DVDs!
