May the Fourth be with you

Happy Star Wars Day!

I should maybe start by saying that I am not a huge fan of Star Wars, or maybe that’s the wrong thing to start with? I like the original trilogy and Rogue One.

I first saw Star Wars: A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back when I was seven. Han Solo was my favourite character and I was quite upset when he was frozen in carbonite.

For a variety of reasons, I did not watch Return of the Jedi until I was 15. So for me, Han Solo was trapped in carbonite for eight years. It was nice to see him finally released, even a little anticlimactic. But the original trilogy ended feeling like a nice complete story, so I never really wanted to watch more.

Plus, science fiction/war movies/westerns aren’t really my go to genre, but I know how important these films are to some people, so, Happy Star Wars Day.
