I've been in a huge Star Wars mood these last weeks, so I decided to go through all movies again. Last night we started with Episode 4, of course, because where else would you start....There is only one order in which to watch these movies.
I think it's amazing how a movie from 1977 still holds up today. Yes it's slower paced than modern movies, but it doesn't bother me. I appreciate it being slower paced. I love how they take the time to show all the different aliens in the Mos Eisley Cantina for example. The audio quality of the movie is a bit weird at times. For example, during the scene where Luke first finds the recording of Leia in R2, you can hear the audio flip flop between a bit of a muffled sound and clearer recording. The same happens when Han and Ben watch Luke practice with the lightsaber and drone on the Falcon. Oh well.
Has anyone ever noticed how Luke gets kind of Southern Accent when he's flying the X-Wing? It's like he becomes Top Gun or something. It's a bit odd. Also, why does Vader sound so upbeat in the first scene...in the rest of the movie he is his regular composed, monotone self.
I still give this movie a 10/10 though. Love it. Empire tonight!
