Looking at the reviews, it appears Jesus Christ Himself is a fan! (of the original - i.e. 4 -6 - but not of this).

As I understand it it is Luke trying to come to terms with the power he has developed, and trying hard not to follow the path of his father.

As we all know the dark side is very tempting :ugeek: It appears in all cultures, even music - as in "The devil always has the best tunes"

:whistle:

From the very beginning of Star Wars in the 1970's, George Lucas had 9 episodes planned - of which the original 3 films formed the central section.
Then came the 3 opening parts and now we get the trilogy that should bring the whole series to some sort of conclusion.

No for the young at heart, who are Sci-Fi enthusiasts as well as Hi-Fi enthusiasts.

You are same age as me are you telling me you did not go and see Star Wars when it first came out back in 1977 and think it was the best thing ever?

granted the rest of the films are a bit poor by comparison (except Empire) and I hate the crappy redux versions with the stupid added effects but even so how can anyone of our generation not be a Star wars fan? :think:
