Star Wars is one of the most popular movies of all time. It even has followers. Like groupies. To me that is crazy but in all honesty I can understand their dedication. This movie is an adventure, it is like many novels, an escape from reality. This movie allows people to be someone other than themselves. It presents every aspect of American life so that everyone feels some connection in some way. Take the princess for example. A strong woman who is not afraid to tell you like it is, to take the initiative, to brave the situation regardless of it's outcome. I personally can feel the Independence. Even though she is the damsel in distress, she is portrayed as a heroine. I feel the connection is what has made this movie attractive. Everyone needs an escape and what a better way then to be a super hero with some special power, in some foreign land, saving the world from the forces of evil. It's perfect. After all isn't everyone out for some sort of adventure? I know I am whether it be in real life or behind the screen or pages of a book, I am game.

When I was growing up, I adored Princess Leia. She was a woman who stood for her beliefs. She was strong, yet empathetic.
