POSTER | Star Wars

This has to be one of the most iconic movie posters of all time, and it’s made all the more sweeter by Roadshow releasing the special edition DVDs recently (and sending me some complimentary ones!) that contain both the revised versions and the un-molested original as-you-saw-them-in-the-theatre versions. Sweet.

Empire Magazine has Star wars listed at number five in it’s 100 Movies That Changed The World List because it re-defined what sci-fi was. It created a fully realised universe, inhabited by amazing alien life forms that went about there everyday life as if they actually existed. It made the spectacular commonplace, and the unbelievable, believable.

And without Star Wars, there would be no big, special effects blockbuster movies, no blue screen, no Industrial Light And Magic and probably no Weta Workshop (gasp).
