Favorite Star Wars character: Darth Vader hands down. When I was 4 I saw the first film. When he came through the door on the rebel’s ship I gasped and was instantly obsessed with him. I took my Darth Vader figure with me everywhere, I saw the first film 27 times (24 of those, my lil Darthy figure went with me) When I found out he was Luke’s father I was so upset that I cussed (”THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!” was my exact words) at the screen and my mother felt so bad for me she didn’t even reprimand me.
Favorite Film of the Star Wars franchise: The Empire Strikes Back. That film had so much badassery, the bad guys were winning, the first appearance (film wise, not counting the Star Wars Xmas special) of Boba Fett, and other bounty hunters. I still get so excited when I see Empire Strikes back, and always manage to leave when Vader tells Luke that he is
paterfamilias.
Other reasons you love Star Wars: One thing I love about the films were the use of models and stop motion.
Being a model builder myself, I was really blown away at the level of detail and use of them for a film. Don’t get me wrong, digital effects are ok and are still in their infancy, but nothing is better than practical effects (in my opinion).
Example: When you first see the AT-ATs, their menacing look and just how damn huge they were. Nothing digital could have done that scene justice.
Anyhow, I am going to stop dorking out about Star Wars as I feel I’ve already said too much.
