      duel! The battle of darkness and light!

      The sixth installment of the official Star Wars series. I finally finished it. I admire myself so much.
      This episode was difficult to watch, and it took two days to watch it.
      The plot of this episode is still relatively mentally retarded, or justice against evil. Of course, justice has won the final victory.
      Anakin finally abandoned the dark and turned to the light, Princess Leah also knew his own life experience, and Solo also ate a little vinegar. The Great Sith also fell into...

      Another three years

      Added dance entertainment images and humorous exaggerations with (unintelligible lyrics) music. The sound effects are still harsher. The special effects of hhh spacecraft and space station are more refined.

      Leia's imprisonment for a while is really disgusting. And from the perspective of Jabba's theater, the requirements for women in each galaxy are really similar.

      Han said "Now I owe you one", if according to the algorithm of the first two parts, Luke still owes Han a favor...

      Can't go back to the past

      When I watched it, my daughter-in-law asked me again, how did you persist with such a bad five-cent special effect. It is indeed a very good question, because with the current scene, whether it is the picture, special effects or story, it is difficult to call it superior. Maybe only the music is of superb quality. But the embarrassing thing is that it is impossible for me to be brought into the scene at the time, for Princess Leia's three-point heartbeat / marveling at the sibling...

      Star Wars is not a contest between good and evil, and the destruction of an empire is not an overwhelming battle between evil and righteousness.

      Star Wars is not a contest between good and evil, and the destruction of an empire is not an overwhelming battle between evil and righteousness.
      This is only discussed until the establishment of the empire to the end, the first power has been pulled far away.
             Leaving aside the fantasy element of Jedi Sith, we all know that the Galactic Empire came from the Galactic Republic. The Republic is actually a federal government. Local lords have complete independent sovereignty, and...

      Star Wars 3 feel

      The third part can be said to be the masterpiece of the three true stories. It is very well completed in terms of entertainment and storyline. The lightsaber duel is also the most exciting of the three. Both Xiaomaoqiu and R2 3po are so cute, and they like the ending very much, which is relieved. In the movie, there are Luke’s growth, the Jedi knight’s persistence, the lovely aboriginal people on each planet, the special effects scenes that are not bad now, and the last father and son...

      It may be due to the limitation of technology and thinking, I always feel that the perspective is too small and too thin, the world view is too weak, and there is no majestic momentum. And the halo of the "protagonists" is too...

      6/6. It took so long to watch the last one. As the conclusion, it should be said to be perfect. The media's low evaluation may be because the land battle is not easy to convince people, and because the mystery has been revealed in the previous work, no matter what decision Luke makes in the end, some people may be dissatisfied, but I am Totally satisfied. The lightsaber battle is the best of the...

      I've been watching this movie since 4 and it's a bit unbearable, after that freshness. The spaceship feels more streamlined, and still looks the best with the wings of the Darth Vader, and his armor looks good too. The episode where the princess is manipulated by Jabba is really exciting, I can't blame the teenagers for watching it. Jabba and Iwoks are so cute. Other stories, wars, etc. are just a joke to watch and play. The movies I've watched recently are all about...

      In fact, watching the Star Wars series also has to consider the time. At that time, it was really a bonus to do this kind of special effects. The story was really average and a bit boring, but it was enough to make me interested in watching it. I look forward to the seventh special effect....

      Princess Leia turns out to be Luke's younger sister, and will be named Jedi (and Jabba's sex slave). The nine-hundred-year-old Yoda will die after a few appearances, and the prequel will no longer be a puppet but a computer-generated special effect. Actors of race and color are more diverse than others. More creations to come: Aboriginal cute ewoks, fish warriors, big fish strayed into their belly, etc. It was a real emotion to see the good side of dying Vader. Looking forward to part seven....

    Movie plot

    The Galactic Empire and the Black Warrior were once again built into a more powerful and unbreakable "Death Star", and the evil forces once again threatened the rebellion led by Princess Leia. Captain Han Solo was captured by Jabba the Hutt, and Princess Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, who rushed to rescue one after another, all fell into Jabba’s trap. Finally, Luke Skywalker succeeded Rescue everyone. After that, Luke rushed to Goba from Tatooin...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Richard Marquand, who directed the film, is the only non-American director in the Star Wars series.
    David Lynch had the opportunity to direct the film, but he refused because he believed that the Star Wars series was the patent of George Lucas. In addition, David Cronenberg also had a chance to direct the film.
    The logo on the Rebel fighters in the film changed from blue to red because it hindered the blue screen special....

    Production process

    The script of the film was jointly completed by Lawrence Kasdan and Lucas, and it was not until the filming plan and budget were finalized that the actual writing began. At that time, the art department of the crew had begun to design work based on Lucas's story outline. Lucas, Kasdan, Marqund and producer Howard G. Kazankin spent two weeks discussing the concept of the script, and Kasdan then constructed a formal script based on the...

    Evaluation action

    The film has more and more mature special effects scenes than the previous two episodes, and the jungle speed car is even more dazzling and makes the audience breathless. However, too many stunts give people an illusion of watching "performing visual games", and the portrayal of the protagonist is far less profound than the previous two episodes. The early stage of Darth Vader's return to the bright side was not sufficiently prepared...

      Darth Vader: As you wish.

    • General Madine: We have stolen a small Imperial shuttle. Disguised as a cargo ship, and using a secret Imperial code, a strike team will land on the moon and deactivate the shield generator.

      C-3PO: It sounds dangerous.

      Princess Leia: [to Han] Who have they found to pull that off?

      General Madine: General Solo, is your strike team assembled?

    • Luke: I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come.
