Day 8: Best Scene: A New Hope


Honestly, a heck of a lot of them. But I think the Binary Sunset scene is probably my favorite.



I think what makes the scene work is the fact that it's so quiet and so simple, but at the same time, it says so much. It speaks of Luke's restlessness and yearning, his feeling of going nowhere -- a feeling that I think a lot of us can relate to. Really, it's sort of what being a teenager is about, in a way -- that sense of uncertainty, going nowhere, that sense of wondering if there's really something out there for you...at least, that's how I saw it when I first saw A NEW HOPE. Indeed, if nothing else, it's one of those things I love not only about A NEW HOPE, but about the Saga as a whole -- everything about it is just so human. And I think that makes all the difference.

( Rest of questions. )

So, watched the DOCTOR WHO episode "Planet of the Ood"...

...and it was really well-done! Loved it. :)

So overall? Amazing. Definitely recommended.
