hey! ramble along - I love it when you do. ;) And Horace and fandom it was. I loved that - and then I found your post about Dr. Zhivago and Star Wars. Great times.
Han/Leia is the first pairing I remember caring about
Yeah, I think looking back Han and Leia were my first OTP (and one of the few I have actually)That said everything in ANH is VERY odd relationship wise. Not only the Luke and Leia kiss, but also all the strange looks Han gives to Luke. Now this is probably viewing the film through slash-tinted goggles, but I don't see why not. Character and story wise it makes sense for Han to be fascinated by BOTH the Skywalker children.
I love the beautiful scenery, from the binary sunset to the jungles, and I love the "used universe" feeling that's everywhere
Oh absolutely. I can actually pinpoint the moment I fell in love with SW. It was Luke watching that twin sunset. I was probably about eight at the time, but that was it. Later when all the Jedi stuff started to appear I was completely sold. (as much as I love the Falcon, scoundrels and Twi-leks - I love the Jedi more. They are just so damn fascinating. I also have an unhealthy obsession with the Mandalorians.)
As for favourite film I'd go with ESB - for many of the same reasons you've stated. I also feel the cinematography is better in that one. I rewatched it a few weeks ago and was truck by how incredibly beautiful it is. All the whites and blues of Hoth, the murky greens of Dagobah. In addition it's the Sw movie that isn't afraid to linger. My biggest gripe with "Sith" is that the pacing is too quick. No time is given to the viewer to let things sink in, to contemplate. I feel this gives the movie a rushed feel which isn't beneficial. (also there is too much CGI, but that is a different rant entirely)
and a lot of what I've heard called the "sensawunda.
You know first time I read this I thought: is this some strange foreign word I don't know? Then my brain caught up with my reading. Hee.
