Can anything ever compare to the original Star Wars? Now
called A New Hope it started an international phenomenon. And it was a new
hope, a new hope for Science Fiction fans the world over. I grew up on this
movie. My parents had taped it off the antenna before or shortly after I was
born. One of my best childhood memories is when the first round of special
editions came out shortly before the advent of the Phantom Menace. My parents
took my brother and me to see Star Wars on the big screen. It was so beautiful
and even growing up with improved special effects I was amazed at the practical
effects on the big screen. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia,
Obi-Wan Kenobi, they are a part of my childhood and adulthood. It’s funny, as a
kid Return of the Jedi was my favorite Star Wars movie, and as I’ve grown older
it has become the original epic. I still love Return but there’s something
about a New Hope that is eternally enduring. And nothing will ever compare to
it, no matter how many sequels and prequels they make.
