Bretton Jardell — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:08:07 +0000

Costumes and makeup played an important and often-overlooked role in making the six 'Star Wars' movies sensational sci-fi masterpieces that, even today, nothing has really matched. They were at the center of an engrossing experience that made the viewer literally feel as though they had been transported to a distant galaxy far, far away.

"Luke, I am your father," is perhaps one of the most famous lines ever in cinematic history. It has been said by nearly anyone with the ability to speak -- except for 23-year-old Carlos, who had no clue that Skywalker's old man was Darth Vadar.

Of course the actors who played those roles will be 32 years older than they were when 'Return of the Jedi' came out so we don't think they will be cast again, outside of possible flashforward scenes.

This makes me long for a simpler time when you didn’t have to worry about someone putting a hole through you with advanced weaponry. They did it with guns or knives, and you liked it.
