ABOUT 25 years ago, when I was a little boy, there was this movie which everyone was raving about. It was making huge waves in America and soon across the world. Star Wars has since become an institution.
People have used the title of the movie and applied it on everything they can think of, like Car Wars, Company Wars, Sex Wars, Hair Wars, Money Wars, etc.
Next month, if I am not mistaken, the last instalment of a three-part prequel will be screen. It is Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
For those of us who are faithful followers of Star Wars and other members who prided themselves as earth-bound Jedis, this movie marks an end to a lifelong quest in relentless entertainment.
We have seen how Darth Vader was destroyed and now we have flashbacks to see how Anakin became the most dreaded warlord on the other side of the universe.
It is hard to imagine that a movie can be broken up into six parts and stretches over a quarter of a century. Even Lord of the Rings can't top that.
Star Wars has sparked the imagination of a generation of people across the globe. And what a movie it is.
According to the Hollywod grapevine, this sixth instalment of Star Wars is the most interest and the darkest. It is violent, too. But the Force will prevail as usual and we all are thankful for that.
Sometimes when my imagination goes on an overdrive, my fingers wriggle in search of a light sabre. What grown-up kid wouldn't give to possess a light sabre. It is the stuff dreams are made of.
The movie has turned its creator George Lucas into a billionaire and his good pal Steven Spielberg into a Hollywood icon. See what imagination can do for the world and two boys who happened to share the same dream.
I am happy there are people like George and Steven around. They serve to remind us that ordinary blokes can do the impossible if the passion in their hearts are strong and unshakeable.
May the Force Be With All of Us!!
