Abrams, which he pulled off in a very good way. This young actors have a lot of potential to be just as iconic as their predecessors were for this new generation of fans. There isn't much to pick apart of this great movie when I first saw it in the theaters in glorious 3D format. The plot was a little confusing at first with the whole Luke pulling a Yoda on everyone who cares about him. Luckily the writers gave us details that there is a map of where to find him, BUT the catch is that it is only part of the map. Way to make us play galactic Where's Waldo Star Wars style. But I am not complaining. I think it was interesting to do it like that. Our villains in this movie are Kylo Ren, who IS NOT a Sith (at least not yet, but might in the sequels to come) and the First Order, who want to the map to find and kill Master Luke. ( Yes, Luke is a Master Jedi this past 30 odd years since The Return of the

The director, writer and producer George Lucas, so immersed in the project devoted much of his life planning every detail of the original trilogy, planned to be released throughout the 70s and 80s. One of the most important head of Lucas, concepts was to accompany his self-described "space opera" with a score that was true to the greatness of itself. For this purpose, initially planned to use classical music of Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, all to refer to a time and space even in the human imagination that transported him to an unknown universe, but plausible. Many perceptions of Luke to the saga changed drastically when I designate the task of the composition of original music to Williams, who would give a new look, a new view and would cool the music scene in Hollywood. From the start, Lucas was already a music lover who, called Star Wars "space opera", which Williams would finish drawing for a resemblance to the works of Wagner.

Helmed by Andrew Stanton who priory brought huge success to both Disney and Pixar with Finding Nemo (Andrew Stanton, US, 2003) and WALL-E (Andrew Stanton, US, 2008). Transitioning from a film such as WALL-E, where dialogue and fandom practically didn’t exist to a film with huge leaps in time, space and dialogue should have been questioned. The studios threw money at the production, perhaps in the hope of salvation and the idea that special effects will keep audiences happy. The film was doomed to fail as the fans of the John Carter books had massive expectations and the faith Disney had in Stanton, despite never before shooting a live action

In the article, “Op-Ed In the water crisis, it’s time to move beyond the farms vs. cities mindset,” Nathanael Johnson informs the public that some individuals do not condone the amount of water that farmers consume, as opposed to the people who live in the city. People believe that irrigation is making farmers rich and the vast percentage of water that is being distributed to the farmers is aiding them. However, farmers need the water much more than the people living in the city because all of the farmer’s living is based on farming. For instance, whenever there is a drought, then farmers are the first to pay the price; people living in urban areas do not really understand the important of water, therefore, water is taken for granted. Unfortunately,

As with most of these columns, the reasons why Darth Vader is unique also reach into why he's the best. From the moment the black-caped and armored character marched onto the screen, surrounded in starkly contrasting white stormtroopers, you knew: this guy is bad. The idea that with only a little crawl of backstory, and just a few moments of establishing shots, a villain of this magnitude could be introduced in such a nonchalant yet impressive way is so foreign to modern cinema. Once you've been introduced to the instantly imposing figure, his screentime is relatively brief in that first film.
