I love the way you combine images with music that seem to be unrelated, but then come together quite nicely!

However, that part of the Star Wars legacy (Episode 1 The Phantom Menace) is my least favorite.

I LOVED the one that started it all (STAR WARS- A New Hope) and fondly remember standing outdoors in the rain for two hours to get into the Charles Cinema in Boston to see it. After a decade of anti-heroes and grim 60’s type movies, it was so REFRESHING to see the battle between good and evil played out on the screen with mostly shoe-string budget Special Effects, which required artistic skill and ingenuity.

CGI has ruined a lot of Sci-Fi Films for me.

(((SIGH)))

I guess I am an old fogey!

They should never have made any sequels or antecedents to Star Wars I (1977). This was a classic--at the time I saw it, I thought it was the best movie I had ever seen. None of the follow-ons that I have watched have even come close to its greatness.

I was in line in Chicago, but I was with you in spirit.
