Top 5 things I like in Star Wars
It was hard for me to choose the top five reasons to love this movie, it has a lot of things I like, I had to throw away some stuff such as music, acting and plot. I really like the geksalogy (not sure if it is a word), but I decided to list specific things and character I like in the movie, not the reasons I like the movie. So without further adieu, i present top five things I like in Star Wars.
Number 5
Droids
I like the existence of droids in the Star Wars universe for several reasons, first and foremost is they can be utilized in many ways. They can be used for combat as shown in the new trilogy, they can be used for repairs, care, entertainment, space travel and may other ways. C3PO and R2-D2 obviously have personalities and I wonder if all droids have personalities or those two were unique? The combat drones were good, maybe not as good and smart as organic soldiers, but they certainly had the advantage of numbers. You can see various droids during the series and I have never seen another movie where utilization of robots seemed so normal and right. And the fact that droids can be used for anything makes a lot of interesting possibilities. I can just imagine gladiatorial arena where droids battle it to the death.

Number 4
Stormtroopers
Sadly we haven't seen a real Stormtrooper character, they were all just faceless soldiers fighting in the name of the Empire. And when the new Trilogy came out everybody started to say that Clones were better than Stormtroopers. Yea, maybe clones troopers are bred just for battle and maybe they are way more disciplined than stormtopopers, but in the end stormtroopers are real soldiers not just clones of somebody. Stormtroopers have different backgrounds and life experiences, plus stormtroopers are the elite soldiers of the Emperor, while the clones were just part of the Imperial Army. One thing I have to agree is that their armor has no potential functionality beside of looking cool, the armor looks like it does not seem to offer any protection from blaster fire and looks like it constricts the movement more than you want. I just wish Mr. Lucas had allowed Stormtroopers to be what they are supposed to be and not just look cool. If he did maybe we wouldn't have so much Stormtrooper effect. Mybe in the upcoming Star Wars TV series we will see the life of an ordinary stormtrooper.

Number 3
Bobba Fett
Fett is probably one of the most famous Star Wars character, and there is a reason to it. To help you understand let me just describe what he is. A clone of an bounty hunter who becomes one of the best bounty hunters, and one with his own sense of justice. We first saw him in "Empire Strikes Back" and they didn't explain much about him, but I like his back story and origin from the "Attack of the Clones", I think it was a perfect fit for Bobba to become a bounty hunter like his father/himself and inherit Jango's armor. I think being a bounty hunter is cool, but being a bounty hunter in space, would be just awesome.

Number 2
Lightsabers
When I was five years old, my grammar school teacher allowed each of us to take one book from the school library. And fate made it so I found a Star Wars movie novelization for children (the guy who thought to make such a product was really good!). Anyway I could't properly read the book, and all I could do was look at the pictures and admire the glowing sword things. And the next evening my father before my bedtime explained the story of Star Wars to me. It was too much for me to take in, I loved absolutely everything, the wookie, the useless walking tanks, Jedi's, Vader and even Yoda. I remember trying to replicate the light saber duel Vader and Luke had, with my brother several years later. We used glow sticks as lightsabers and we made the lightsaber sounds with our mouths, but the feeling was fantastic, we felt like real Jedis. So now when you know this, you know why I like them. It was the first thing to let me feel as cool as a Jedi. And the weapon is arguably the best fictional weapon I know (although the Ion Cannon is really close behind). A lightsaber in the hands of a Jedi or a Sith is a deadly weapon, far deadlier than blaster or and army of droids. It is the token of a Jedi, it is like your Jedi badge, it is a symbol of hope and peace through out the Galaxy. It can also tell things about you the hilt, type and even the color signifies something important about you.

Number 1
The Force
The Force is not just telekinesis, meaning is not just the ability to move things, but is a universal ability. The Force is all around us (in the film that is), and force users can bend it to their will. Force user can several different abilities like precognition, telepathic persuasion or the can even manifest the force into physical form, like the infamous force lightning. The ability comes from having midi-clorians in you, they are tiny aliens that live in symbiotic relationship inside you. It is the secret dream of every Star Wars fan to possess the Force. It is what makes you a Jedi, not the lightsaber, the later is just a symbol. But the Force is what really makes you a Jedi.
