I must say that as a child, movies were the mainstay. I went to one a week it seemed. And there really were good ones in that day.... Raiders of the Lost Ark and all its sequels, Poltergiest a scary movie that really got me in the bubble of security, creepshow- another one that really scared the bejeebers out of me, and many many more. Star Wars is the first movie I remember and at age 5, it could have come at a more opportune time. I had in my later years felt embarrassed for my trust in the silverscreen to bring me what was thought to be morals and fortune. I thought that in later years that Star Wars was a fools paradise. No such thing!!!!! I do admit I know a Jewish friend, a lady with children who has noted on her facebook postings that shes never seen a Star Wars Movie, ever and never will. Gosh my dear ally, how sad you really may be, but if you dont like smiles and you dont like an alternate universe, please feel free to desist! I later realized that although I am not planning on any screenings in the meantime, I certainly see Gods hand in the making and perfection of the Star Wars Universe. Perhaps each character has his or her own significance in the scope of world events. Of course Darth Vader is a personification of Mr. Hitler (yemach shemo - may his name be stricken from under heaven), but there are others. I have theorized that Hammerhead is Fidel Castro. (yes imagine hammer head with a cigar huh ) I say that perhaps there is more to the Star Wars Universe that originally described.
That said, it was my most influential silver screen paradise in that and age. I ate it all up. Ever ounce of plastic reels shining its translucent image via a bright bulb 80-100 or so feet onto a white blank canvas on the wall in the dark realm where popcorn and coca-cola are a prime mind numbing and crunching experience.
