Film Review - Star Wars a new hope (1977)



The Star Wars Trilogy is popular culture phenomenon followed by the great times of the successful sequels. The Empire Strikes Back 80´s and Return of the Jedi 1983.

Figure. 1. Star Wars  Dart Vader and his army. 

The saga has been changed all over the years and directors decided that there were better ways of showing to the audience what they want to show in scenes.
Walking pass successfully the era of stop motion using, miniatures, matte paintings and more...
However, the world has been changing and improving ways of doings things at the same time,

So, with this the directors began theorizing about keep the saga still on.
Adding CGI characters, changing views and environment,
replacing scripts, re shooting scenes with different content in terms of final image and sound effects, enhancing colour and extending scenes to create more drama in audience emotion during film.
To be honest I agree with this method of adapt material that might be forgotten at some point.
As Leonardo Da Vinci was used to say, "Art is never finished, only abandoned."

The saga Star Wars have been using a hand of Industrial Light & Magic Services to improve this replacement in scenes with one of the best industries of special effects in America San Francisco,
However not even, George Lucas knew that Star Wars first debuted would be a hit.
In May 25 1997, “SW Episode IV - A New Hope" made 1.5 million in theatres, insane numbers at this time.

“I didn´t think the film was going to be successful", Lucas said.

The legacy in this type of movies will be always the iconic characters such as one of the most iconic villains in Hollywood history, Dart Vader and his malefic voice, making fans even more excited to see benefits for upcoming versions.

It’s important to preserve the legacy of the script but increasing power in scenes with CGI technology, leaving art talk by itself.
