For the final week, I wanted to give my opinion into Firefly, but since the copies at the library were out, I decided to look into a series I wanted to look back into years ago. Star Wars, the first trilogy. Looks back into this franchise, a lot of the designs looked like a sci fi westers and samurai film.
The Jedi was similar tot he samurai, the costumes of the storm troopers and Darth Vader are reminiscent of the oriental armor. Even the aliens like Jabba have sort of a Buddah asian feel to them. I got the western feel from characters like Han Solo, especially the bar scene in the first episode with him and Greedo.
 I now know how many movies has influenced the entire franchise. I even found traces of inspiration of Flash Gordon in the floating city in the second episode. I would have never wouldv'e guessed that as a kid.
 Looking back, I haven't watched these films in a long time and I now have a different look on them. Using stuff you have watched as a kid can inspire your imagination and ideas for the future and can help create your own worlds and stories.
There is a bit of fantasy in the series as well like the landscapes, creatures, and the force is like some kind of inner magical element. In other words, Star Wars is pretty much everything rolled into one giant space epic, and that's why it is so popular. It has something for everyone, drama, action, art, comedy and great story telling.
So that's it, thought this would be a good idea for the last week considering it is a classic, but I thought I would try giving it a good look and dissect to see why it was so popular. I just hope the next Star War Films will be better, probably not though because of bring back Darth Vader and elderly Han Solo, but who knows?
