"The force is strong in this one."
Luke Skywalker was an average Joe, but only on the outside. Inside, he was filled with his father's ability and force power, and also, his master's, Obi Wan Kenobi, patience and wit. This movie was a fantastic sequence of light saber battles, flying scenes, and the strategy of war. My father has been wanting me to see this movie for a while, so we were both delighted when I found out that I had an excuse for fitting this movie into our busy lives.
This movie is not just an everyday movie. It makes you feel for Luke, because maybe you feel like him sometimes. Or maybe you just like it because R2-D2 is a hilarious little astro-droid. Probably both, but the more important one is the first. George Lucas made you believe that you could be a nobody and then, through natural talent, become a somebody (a dream that all people have). For example, I wish that I could be discovered by some great fencing master, and be whisked away to some taciturn instructing arena in a small European country for my swordsmanship. But Lucas makes you believe that, if a simple farmboy from Tattoine can become the one hope for the galaxy, then anything is possible.
