30 Day Film Challenge. Day 24


Star Wars. Back before it was called Episode IV : A New Hope. Back in 1977 when it was plain old Star Wars. The year before I was born. I'd have loved to have been there for it. Not knowing what was coming. Before it was leaden down with expectation. Imagine how insane it must have been to watch that little ship zip across the screen and then see the screen FILLED up by that Imperial Star Destroyer. I'd say it was mindblowing. Then Vader going all bad motherfucker on the rebels, Leia, Luke, Obi Wan, HAN, Chewie, AN ENTIRE PLANET EXPLODING!! Han shooting first, Obi Wan vs Darth, the plan, the execution, Han's return, Luke feeling the force and then BOOM! Oh man You'd be a wreck after it. And then you'd go back the next day and watch it all over again.
