I 've always loved the 3 original movies,'Star Wars' '77,The Empire Strikes Back '80,'Return of the Jedi'83. "The Force Awakenings' '15 was the perfect sequel to "Jedi'. I saw the movie twice,never liked the other movies in this franchise. Sue
"Nowadays Star Wars, or rather Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope, and its sequels are best known as epic space operas, but when Lucas was originally conceived this science fiction/fantasy tale, he had something more in line with the action-packed film serials from classic Hollywood". He explained:
"Star Wars evolved. It didn't come out as one thing. It was an idea and the idea was more: I would like to make an action movie, that is more like a Saturday afternoon serial that I enjoyed as a kid, but imbue it with mythological, psychological motifs, which we didn't have those [that day]. So I said, 'I want to take these two things and put them together.' - George Lucas
