When I first saw Star Wars my entire life changed forever.Everyone will give you different reasons for how Star Wars affected their life.For myself it opened my eyes and my mind to new horizons.A universe of limitless possibilities.A universe where there was dark and villainous evil opposed by the purity and integrity of a brave few who stood against the tide of a seemingly unshakeable tyranny.
Ultimately I would gain a fair portion of my world view from these magnificent films.I always aspired to be more like my hero Luke Skywalker.There are few enough truly inspirational figures and Luke was always mine and continues to guide me and teach me to this day.I hope to bring these lessons that I have learned about the great value of hope and courage to my children.
All six films will continue to inspire me to be a better person.My deepest thanks and admiration to one of my mentors-Mr.George Lucas.
Regardless of the tampering which seems to cause such endless unrest,I am a huge fan of all six films.Even the inconsistencies and mistakes that he has made.Anyone here remember when it was just ok to have fun watching a star wars movie and not nitpick them within an inch of their lives?Don't get me wrong I am a member here now as I want to have the original trilogy as I remember it from my childhood but that doesn't stop me enjoying ALL of the films.They're just great,great movies.
Once again,and despite the backlash that i no doubt will get for this,thank you George for continuing to inspire me.My second son is named after him,Lucas,so he is and will remain one of my mentors for his ideas and vision.
