I love Star Wars, I'm a huge Star Wars fan. What makes Star Wars such an exciting, fantastic adventure? The acting? Probably not. The action? No, probably not. The special effects? Could be, since they were revolutionary, but I don't think so. What makes these movies so great is how epic an adventure it is. This is quite possibly the greatest story ever told. There's something for everyone to enjoy in this film. There's action, adventure, comedy and science fiction. Nearly anyone can find something enjoyable in this film. It's a story of great heroes, evil villains and amazing adventure. The entire original trilogy is the undeniable masterpiece of George Lucas. He will never surpass this. The acting is not all good, but it's always good enough, even though a few of the actors aren't entirely believable all the time. The story is epic and an amazing adventure. The characters all seem believable, and all of the "good guys" are likable, even though they are all very different. At the same time, all of the "bad guys" are instantaneously despicable, you hate and loathe them nearly the very second that you see them. The special effects, while ridiculously dated today, were groundbreaking when the film was made, and they're still good enough. The music is also a work of art. John Williams has created a magnificent score for the film(s). The films are infinitely re-watchable, and while they're definitely also old cult favorites, they are also worth watching, and highly enjoyable to pretty much anyone. It's a masterpiece.
