| | Star Wars is a worldwide project of George Lucas, an American producer & director. Officially, “Star Wars” appeared on May 25, 1977. Exactly then, a film was released on big screen, which is popular as “Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope”. Huge success of the movie, which is very popular around the world, has inspired George Lucas to create continuation of “Star Wars”. As a producer, he created two more series “The Empire Strikes Back” & “Return of the Jedi”. It appeared that, with this the star war epic ended.
But, future projects are already in older years, Lucas did not stop his activities & on the borderline of XX & XXI centuries, he organizes premiers of “omitted” series, in which history of shot events is narrated. Audience is taken tack to the beginning of “Star Wars” saga.
“Star Wars” has rendered huge impact on mass culture & fans of the film have gathered in clubs. Film epic has become beginning of complete fiction genre in cinematography.
Six episodes, made in two stages, confused with respect to time, form the “Star Wars” cycle:
1977 – “Star Wars. Episode IV. A New Hope”;
1980 – “Star Wars. Episode V. The Empire Strikes Back”;
1983 – “Star Wars. Episode VI. Return of the Jedi”;
1999 – “Star Wars. Episode I. The Phantom Menace”;
2002 – “Star Wars. Episode II. Attack of the Clones”;
2005 – “Star Wars. Episode III. Revenge of the Sith”;
Somewhere around thirty years back, few people like George Lucas & his close friends knew about the universal “Star Wars”. Everything changed in 1977 when the movie “Star Wars: Episode IV” gained worldwide popularity. At present, globally popular space saga not only has six full-length blockbuster films but also large number of comics, books, desktop & PC games, various accessories from plastic figures to mobile telephones as assets.
Interesting Star Wars facts:
Circle has become closed, Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader & Padme Amidala has given birth to male child Luke & at last villains & righteous men have occupied their places. Saga about star wars has begun from episode IV in 1977. It was not easy for the admirers of the film: director George Lucas forced them to see the end of history at first & then made them see the start. Script confusion was supplemented with abundance of strange kind characters with unpredictable behavior. Imaginations of Mr. Lucas & truth can be envied, however, even heavenly movie epics are nevertheless written on the Earth.
1. Each actor, who ever is supposed to have a light saber, had the right to select the color of saber. Mainly, blue colored light saber was selected as in the case of Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi, green light saber as in the case of Yoda or red light saber by Darth Vader or emperor Palpatine. Only Mace Windu had unusual purple color light saber. Actor Samuel L. Jackson considered that such light sabers will look amusing.
2. Word “Jedi”, name with which George Lucas called his space knights originated from Japan. “Jidaigeki” (“historical drama”) - genre in Japanese cinema, which narrates about Samurais, their legends & real historical events. (For example, film of Takeshi Kitano “Zatoichi” belongs to this film genre). Lucas, who was in Japan, country of rising sun, one year prior to the making of “Star Wars” & saw these movies on TV & liked the word “Jidai” & he transformed it into “Jedi”.
3. All spacecrafts in “Star wars” are equipped with blasters E11. “Sterling” L2A3 –9mm submachine gun of World War II period, which is being used by British armies, served as prototype for them. Due to design features of submachine gun (as consequence - the blaster), it can be held only in left hand & hence all the star fighters in the film have turned out to be lefthanders.
4. “Star wars” could have been named otherwise. Film studio “20th Century Fox” was not interested in the name considering that the name bears negative sense. While working on the film, contest was organized between the film crew & actors for suggesting the best name of the movie. But nobody could come up with anything interesting & subsequently, it was decided to keep the name “Star wars”.
5. Darth Vader was the first hero, whose character was conceived by George Lucas for “Star wars”. “Vader” means “father” in Dutch language. Darth means Dark Lord of the Sith. Name “Anakin Skywalker” was borrowed by George Lucas from his director friend Mr. Ken Annakin. And in general, “Annakin” is a Greek word “Annax” in accusative case, which means “lord”. |
