Rewatched the original Star Wars trilogy (Ain't touching the Prequels) in preparation for The Force Awakens tomorrow. I haven't watched them in years, but still good fun.
A New Hope - For the start of the series, it's still pretty enjoyable and a good bit of it aged real well. Hilariously enough, the special edition CGI they added in looks hilariously out of date and mostly add nothing to the movie. They are so obviously added in, it was like they barely tried. Added far too much of it in this one for sure. I still like the film. Lot of iconic moments.
Empire Strikes Back - Still the best by a longshot. I love the Hoth battle, old, goofy, puppet Yoda, Bespin is cool, and the fight with Vader is good. It's kinda interesting going back to the lightsaber battles from these times, compared to what they became in the later movies. Despite lacking the choreography, they still have good weight behind them.
Return of The Jedi - So the ewoks aren't great. Like they shouldn't be in the movie. I know they were put in to make it more of a family movie and to lighten things up, but they are the worst. Cute as they are, it's real dumb that they are able to wipe out an Imperial force. I know the armor they were is mostly weak to laser blasts, but what use is the armor if it's also weak to rocks and sticks? Why are Storm Troopers so useless! lol Other than that, I love the Tattoine stuff and kinda everything else other than Ewoks is good. They really should've just rewrote the whole Endor scene. Still enjoy it though.
I'm now prepared, I'm ready to be Awakened...
