Yes. All is well. 25 may 1977 on the big screens out the first film in the cult sci-Fi series "Star wars" with the subtitle "a New hope". It is difficult even to imagine how long ago it all was. Initially, the success of films nobody believed, except that of the Director . Producers 20th Century Fox feared in vain, since the film was a huge success. In fact, this is what saved the Studio from threatening her at the time of bankruptcy. But most of all from the premiere of the film, of course, won the fans of cinema.
George Lucas, while still a student, dreamed that one day I will be able to shoot a movie about the space in the spirit of their favorite comics the Flash Gordon and buck Rogers, as well as works by Edgar rice Burroughs about John Carter. Not without the influence of the work of this brilliant Japanese Director Akira Kurosawa. This Japanese filmmaker we are likely to have fights lightsaber. Also Lucas has had a considerable influence novel "dune" by Frank Herbert and ushered in the genre of "space Opera" literary work "Skylark of Space" by Edward Elmer Smith.
Since 1977 it has been four decades. During this time on the big screen managed to see eight feature films, and with the transition of the franchise into the hands of the Disney company, you can be sure that now movies will be even greater. Someone from the fans of the original series don't like it, but in fact this turn a sincerely happy. Besides, Lucas himself has been repeatedly criticized for not the most successful trilogy that includes the first three episodes of the Saga. We remind you that the main number sequence is divided into episodes, and the first on the left fourth episode. It was followed by the fifth and sixth, and only years later, Lucas filmed the first three.
In 2015, rolling out the seventh episode from the Director , which represents our brand new young main characters. Most fans of the franchise left the movie dissatisfied, largely due to the fact that he copied the major plot points of the fourth episode and tried to play on nostalgia of the audience, without offering anything really new. In 2016, came the first spin-off series called telling about the events that precede the story told in the fourth episode. But then something unexpected happened: despite the fact that the film was not one of the Jedi pattern has led critics and audiences in raptures. So Disney over the series in any case should not be underestimated.
Based On Star Wars was released countless , Souvenirs, comics, books, and other items that bring huge income to the owners of the rights to the franchise. In fact the main income is generated that is related products, and not the distribution of films in cinemas. In fact, that George Lucas came up with this scheme of monetizing their creativity, as previously, no one had not occurred, so that you can earn huge money by selling products with the symbols of the movie. According to recent reports, revenues from the sale of souvenir products based on Star Wars amount to more than $ 20 billion.
The Impact of "Star wars" cannot be overstated. Movies the original trilogy literally blew up the mass culture of his time. On the basis of kynoselen even created its own official religion is Judaism. Millions of people annually participate in various cosplay, come to the role of reconstruction and just a forum for fans of the Star Wars franchise, and simply collect products with the symbols of the series. In numerous films and animated TV series you can see references to the iconic franchise of George Lucas, and some Directors even make a full parody of the series to recall the "Spaceballs" by Mel Brooks.
I would like to sincerely congratulate your favorite series with its 40-year anniversary and wish its creators the good mood and creative lifting. And the current owners of the franchise in the face of the producers of Disney I would like to wish for more effort and imagination to ensure that they are often pleased its fans with a new worthy works.
