This blog is dedicated to my good friend avaldes for introducing me to the saga and more importantly, for being patient with me.
The Human Mind is a true enigma. The fantasies it can weave are indeed spell-bounding and unimaginable (a nice paradox!). Yesterday, I had been to the "Revenge of the Sith" - the final episode to make the Star Wars saga complete (one of those few movies I have happened to watch on the day of its release). The much-awaited episode that was meant to link the disconnected episodes I and II with episode IV (released 28 years ago!).
Well, the author was always of the opinion that movies depicting reality, drama, emotions, etc. were more desirable than the ones that claimed to be sci-fi, action, etc. Where there was realism and sense, I supposed the movie was good enough. I still find it difficult to digest one of the scenes in Rambo, where he fights a battle against an infinite no. of tanks with a gigantic gun. Mind is to be put to rest in such cases. The same applies to science too. Did they ever think about the recoil of the gun?
Somehow, Star Wars seems to have created the impact - to the point of conversion of faiths. The six episodes were highly unrealistic and were yet amazing. What made it special was the very fact that a human mind with George Lucas as the vehicle had thought of such a fantastic tale of fantasy; complete with the works. Human emotions, drama, intrigue, love, affection, attachment, suffering, betrayal, loyalty, etc. have surfaced in this sci-fi saga spanning 6 movies and nearly 28 years.
Well, Star Wars indeed has a cult following in the world. I suppose I am one of the latest members.
May the force be with all of us.

Hi Mr Srinivasan..
thank u for stopping by n leavin a comment there...
i saw the movie "Revenge of the sith" yesterday ..though i never find sci-fi movies very appealing for the lack of human emotions they have still i would be lying if i said i dint like the movie for what it tries to portray through its technical brilliance.
The time spent was worth it considering the fact that it reminded me of human capability of creativity in this genre of film making..
and ur blog puts across the voice of the uninitiated folks succinctly to say the least.
please keep writing,it's the only place where you can pen down what you feel deep down ur heart as an incident takes place in ur life without getting worried about what the immediate reaction of people around u is,and still have the option of having a few takers of ur thoughts in those moments..
kamlesh: thanks for passing by my blog. more importantly, thanks for ur comments and the much needed dose of encouragement. :)
