The Star Wars Universe – You’re Never Too Old

Do you remember the first time you saw Star Wars? I do. I remember sitting in the cinema and almost jumping outta my skin when that first evero Star Destroyer burst onto the screen as it chased the Corellian Corvette above Tattooine. Right from that first moment I’ve been a Star Wars fan and I’m sure lots of you reading this remember that exact same moment too. That’s when you “love affair” with Star Wars really began right?

George Lucas was and is a clever guy. Years later when I was all grown up the many other movies that influenced this smash hit movie became known to me. Everything from Kurosawa movies to British World War II movies had become part of this sci-fi epic. That’s part of the genius of his work though – he didn’t try to reinvent the wheel. He just picked a lot od different spokes to add to it and every single one added color and depth to the final movie.

What’s even more amazing is that as far as most critics were concerned this movies was going to be a flop. Lucas was really concerned about this so the movie was made under the title of Blue Harvest to keep prying eyes away and to keep the movie sounding as bland and boring as possible. Remember up to this point Lucas was pretty much unknown with the only movie he’d made worth talking about being American Grafitti (we won’t talk about THX1138…) so he knew he had a lot to prove.

There was also the problem that up to this point sci-fi movies had never really done well at the box office. They did “ok” but never really scored a massive success. Even when Kubrick released 2001 it didn’t set audiences on fire. But that was all about to change.

So finally the movie was finished $3,000,000 overbudget and released by a nervous movie studio. And it became an overnight hit. Not just a hit. It became a craze with people queueing to watch the movie for the 5th, 10th and 20th time. The movie appealed to so many people on so many levels that it was destined to be a success and the numbers proved it.

The demand for Star Wars toys was almost immediate and the toy company Kenner were give rights to produce the first range of toys. What they didn’t expect was the absolutely insane demand for any and all types of Star Wars collectibles. That craze has gone on right up to the  today with many Star Wars fans (including myself there) always looking for the latest collectible or gadget to add to your collections or to buy as gifts for siblings or nieces and nephews. This is just to make sure the Star Wars legacy lives on forever – as it should be.

One of the most powerful images in Star Wars is the lightsaber and after years of searching for real lightsabers I did manage to find some that looked, sounded and felt the part. Click here if you want to see Star Wars replica lightsabers in action.
