This one is a little bit different because the other 2 Star Wars Throwback Thursdays I hadn't seen any of them since December... this one I actually kind of forgot some details a bit... and it was on TV so I watched a bit of the beginning...
I have to say... this one I feel like doesn't totally work on it's own. From the little bit I watched of it I was like "This is weird." So I think the original Star Wars Movies are now stronger as a trilogy than watching them too far apart. I would say maybe the first 2 you can watch kind of stand alone... but this one works better if you watch it along with the other 2. The beginning is just VERY Sci- Fi-ish... so you really have to be in the mood for Star Wars when you see it. It's a little bit cheesy and technology wise... it didn't quite age well in the context of the other 2 in my opinion... and while I thought this had the best beginning when I watched it as a trilogy... from that little bit that I saw I was like "What? I understand why people don't like Star Wars now... this is weird." And I think maybe Empire Strikes Back would be the best beginning for a casual viewer.
That being said... I still think this is my favorite movie of the bunch. I like that Leia saves Han, I like that Leia becomes queen of the Ewoks... I like that we find out Leia and Luke are brother and sister. Jabba the Hut and Bobba Fett are in this movie and that's pretty cool. There was just a lot of good stuff that happened in this movie and it's exciting.
And the ending... it ends really well for a trilogy. Everything is wrapped up nicely... the good guys win- the bad guys loose... it would have been good if they had just ended it there... I'm happy that they continued with TFA... but idk. After thinking about it now you can't go back now and have this be the ending again... Like as much as I liked Harry Potter and the Cursed Child... that is now the ending of Harry Potter... and that isn't as good of an end as The Deathly Hallows... so it might end up being the same with Star Wars after it's all said and done... idk.
So...yeah! Hopefully this was somewhat helpful? I didn't talk much about the actual movie but weirdly enough... I remember this one the least at the moment... so maybe next Star Wars Day I'll have a better Throwback Thursday of this. Lol.
Byeee!
