| Re: Original movies
I picked up the one packaged as "Episode IV", although the beauty of it is that it doesn't say that in the title crawl. It just says "Star Wars". I watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it although I may have found one of the reasons that Lucas doctored them. A large amount of dialogue (specifically C3P0's) is pretty 60s and 70s, TV hokey. And the scene at the end with the medal presentation contained a lot of winking and hamming but that was common back then. It may have embarassed good old George and the newer special effects drew attension away from it. It was good the way it was and it was made in the mid-1970s, so it had to pull in some of the culture of the times. I'll probably pick up the other two before the end of the year but if I don't this was the one that was special. The one that showed us a world that we had never seen before. |
