    STAR WARS Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun Times, January 1, 1977) Cast Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker , Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia , Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi , David Prowse as Darth Vader , James Earl Jones as Vader's Voice , Kenny Baker as R2D2 , Anthony Daniels as C3PO Directed by George Lucas, Produced by Gary Kurtz, Screenplay by Lucas, Rated PG 121 minutes Every once in a while I have what I think of as an out-of-the-body experience at a movie. When the ESP people use a phrase like that, they're referring to the sensation of the mind actually leaving the body and spiriting itself off to China or Peoria or a galaxy far, far away. When I use the phrase, I simply mean that my imagination has forgotten it is actually present in a movie theater and thinks it's up there on the screen. In a curious sense, the events in the movie seem real, and I seem to be a part of them. "Star Wars" works like that. My list of other out-of-the-body films is a short and odd one, ranging from the artistry of "Bonnie and Clyde" or "Cries and Whispers" to the slick commercialism of "Jaws" and the brutal strength of "Taxi Driver." On whatever level (sometimes I'm not at all sure) they engage me so immediately and powerfully that I lose my detachment, my analytical reserve. The movie's happening, and it's happening to me. What makes the "Star Wars" experience unique, though, is that it happens on such an innocent and often funny level.

    Star Wars By Matt Zoller Seitz “The A List: The National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films,” 2002 Reprinted by permission of the author Of all the films of the 1970s, none was more influen- tial than “Star Wars.” Other landmark works from that era could rightly claim to be more complex, more challenging, more adult, but none could claimed to be more widely seen and enjoyed. (Many saw it more than once.) This mythic adventure about a gee- whiz farm boy rescuing a princess and saving the galaxy proved that a primitive fairy tale with high-tech effects could thrill moviegoers the world over, regard- less of language, cultural difference, even age. It made stars outs of its unknown leads — Mark Hamill, Carrie Fischer, Harrison Ford — and spawned a spinoff industry peddling tie-in merchandise, from toys and T-shirts to comic books and trading cards. It introduced new visual effects and sound technology that would change how films were produced. Its un- precedented financial success — the top grossing film of all time with $250 million in box office and $1 billion in merchandising — convinced the studios to abandon their old financial model, wherein lots of money was earned by lots of films, and embrace a new model, wherein ever-increasing amounts of money and effort were devoted to developing more movies like “Star Wars.

The true significance of this set will remain a closely kept secret until RETURN OF THE JEDI opens on May 25, 1983. The JEDI crew was in the area for six months, employing more than fifty local residents ana pumping more than two million dollars into the local economy. Associate to the Producer Louis Friedman was relieved to discover that, almost without exception, "I could find anything we needed locally. I just had to look a bit longer ana harder." Assistant art director Chris Campbell concurs: "The merchants here really helped us a lot. They realized that with an operation of this size, when we ord~red a product, we needed it all-- not just a gallon or two."

From Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader: understanding Star Wars based on Theodore Millon´s theory of personality pathology. J Med Mov [Internet] 2017;13(3): 121‐126. Summary The aim of this work was to psychologically investigate Anakin Skywalker (also known as Darth Vader), using a non sistematic idiographic clinic analysis, based on Thedore Millon theory, with solid theoretical and empirical bases for personality pathological traits and personality disorders. The character Anakin Skywalker allows this analysis, since in the films it is possible to observe fragments of his childhood, adolescence and adult life, making viable an analysis of his psychological development. According to Millon´s theory and the information from the movies, we present as a conclusion a possible pathological personality funtioning for the character.

    CHAPTER SEVEN SHADES OF EVIL: THE CONSTRUCTION OF WHITE PATRIARCHAL VILLAINY IN THE STAR WARS SAGA SARAMARTIN Introduction: The Dangerous Double Racialization of the White Man in Black In Kevin Smith' s film Chasing Amy (1997), black comic book artist Hooper X berates in a panel session on 'Minority Voices in Comics' the demeaning treatment that black characters receive from his white colleagues. He is soon challenged by two of them sitting in the audience, Holden, the central character, and his buddy and artistic partner, Banky. They contend that, beyond comics, SF and fantasy offer positive role models for African Americans. The ensuing dispute, a typical trademark of Smith's films worth quoting at length, focuses on the Star Wars saga: 1 HOLDEN ... Lando Calrissian is a positive black role model in the realm of Science FictionIFantasy. HOOPER Fuck Lando Calrissian! Uncle Tom nigger! Always some white boy gotta invoke 'the holy trilogy'!

  • Sideshow Collectibles and Lucas Film Enter Three-Year Agreement to Produce Star Wars Collectibles
    Sideshow Collectibles and Lucas film Enter Three-Year Agreement to Produce Star Wars Collectibles “Figures to Debut at Comic-Con International in San Diego” WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA-JULY 7, 2004- On May 25, 1977, the world of science fiction films was turned upside down by a young writer/director and his movie, Star Wars. George Lucas, with his love for science fiction and inspiration of epic movies from such directors as John Ford and Akira Kurosawa, introduced the world to Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope. This movie tells the epic story of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Ben Kenobi (Sir Alec Guinness), Han Solo (Harrison Ford) Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), C-3P0 (Anthony Daniels) and R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), and their journey to aid a rebel alliance against an evil empire, by saving Princess Lea (Carrie Fisher) from the clutches of the evil Darth Vader (played by David Prowse and voiced by James Earl Jones). The success of this movie exploded into a worldwide phenomena that produced two sequels, three prequels (the third will hit theaters in 2005), cartoons, comic books, music, toys, books, clothes, video games, and just about every other conceivable collectible, from coins to costumes. Generations of fans have embraced this fantastic story set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, with tireless dedication. It is not unusual to see thousands of fans, waiting patiently in line, for days, in costume, and even in bad weather, just to buy tickets for the next installment of this amazing story. And now, almost 30 years later, Sideshow Collectibles is ecstatic to announce a partnership with Lucasfilm, to produce the first line of 1/4 scale character collectibles based on the Star Wars family of films.
