Star Wars Episode 7

As everyone who hasn't been living under a rock knows, Star Wars Episode 7 came out in mid December. Everyone knows star wars for its huge fan base and what they do. You see pictures of people dressed up as Yoda or Chewbacca at conventions having light saber battles, but the saga of movies means so much more.

When George Lucas released the first 3 movies, he changed the way people film movies. Half the movie took place in space, so he had to make a background of space. If you have ever seen a movie in space before the Star Wars movies, you will notice the significant difference. By using small crafted space ships, and filming them close up at the right angle, Lucas made it seem like the Millennium Falcon was the size of a house flying through space. He pioneered the way he filmed movies and created his own genre. By putting together such a good orchestra and scenery to go with it, the movie and soundtrack made it so surreal.
