Star wars made epic
fantasy real. For a generation of people it has defined what the cinema
experience is meant to be. Today it is probable that pc games will offer
a deeper and more satisfying entertainment solution, but for pure
visual and aural pleasure, mixed with basic emotional manipulation,
there has never and will never be a better example of cinema than when
star wars appeared over 25 years ago. When you think of star wars, you
must remember what else was happening at the time. In America, the war
in Vietnam had been lost. In the U.K economic disaster was occurring(a 3
day working week, and the army collecting rubbish). It was almost like
the two most technically advanced countries in the world were going
backwards. Star wars let everybody escape from that reality and reach
for a future that was uncertain but ultimately good.
