“Star Wars” – a pop culture icon – Derwesten.de

Hagen. “Star Wars” – two words that electrify science fiction fans worldwide. But what is so fascinating about this galactic fairy tale, the US filmmaker George Lucas invented almost 40 years ago and its seventh partial million moviegoers will entice front of the screen (“The Awakening of power”) on Thursday in Germany? A few guesses:

Heroes

“Star Wars”: That’s since the first part, which on 25 May 1977 in the US -Kinos came, the fight between good (the rebels) against evil (the Empire) in its purest form. The heroes of the first trilogy are Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo. And the grizzled in honor of actor Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford all hatch in the seventh part back into their familiar roles.



The bad guys

“Star Wars” Darth Vader -Oberschurke died at the end of the sixth part. His black helmet, including face mask and the tinny, kröchzende voice are a style icons of pop culture. His story of how he became the Jedi to the dark Sith Lord, illuminated George Lucas in the second trilogy (1999-2005). This had to offer remarkable spectacle values, among the fans but they never achieved the cult status of the first three films (1977-1983). Darth Vader is now to get a worthy successor in part seven. He called Kylo Ren, it is played by Adam Driver. And an eerie mask bears the well.



The laser swords

You are standard features of all the Jedi, which also have an awareness influencing gift ( “The power”). But the villains wield those weapons with garish glowing blade. Previous showpiece in Armory was the red laser sword with double blade that in “The Phantom Menace” was Darth Maul. The new laser sword of Kylo Ren also has something to offer: not only the main blade glows in fire red, but also the two quillons the handle. Looks even scarier.



The spaceships

In the promotional trailers for the seventh “Star Wars” part that broke all previous clicking Records on the Internet It was already seen: the fleet of X-Wing fighter returns (in such a Luke Skywalker destroyed the first Death Star). (“Millennium Falcon” to German) again with lightning speed through the galaxy However, the “Millennium Falcon” darkest. Aboard course the swashbuckling space smuggler Han Solo and his hairy co-pilot -. The Wookie Chewbacca

The new maker

“Star Wars “creator George Lucas has his company” “sold Lucasfilm in a multibillion-dollar deal in 2012 to the Disney Corporation. Many fans feared that the Mickey Mouse-makers would make the new “Star Wars” parts Children compatible with a lot of cinematic frosting inedible. But the obligation of J.J. Abrams as director caused a collective sigh of relief. Because of Americans (49) had already proved in the revival of “Star Trek” series, that he understands it perfectly to bring old film material in a dignified way in the modern times, without betraying its DNA. What he want the Star Wars fans? Since there’s only one thing: “May the power be with you”
