The original movie trilogy isn’t beloved because it’s a big-budget extravaganza, but because it’s a series that people connect with on a deep level, with characters that stick with the audience, and a certain magic about it that absorbs you into the world at every turn. The story is about resilience, love, destiny, and legacy, and those themes and the way that the characters connect to each other and struggle with their problems and positions is something that audiences get emotionally attached to. The films have that magical quality to them because it’s clear in every frame that these movies were made with passion. From the cast to the crew behind the camera, it’s evident that everyone loved the story and what they were doing, and it makes the movies feel like pieces of art that time and effort were put into, not just cash grabs.
