TITLE
The awesome movie saga named “Star Wars”
I really enjoy see the movies of star wars almost every weekend when I have free time. One reason
I love to see the movies is that I can see battles in the space, droid battles, the good vs the evil. My
favorite movie in the saga is the part 4: A new hope because is the first movie that begins all the
other movies, the scenes in the space and the battles are awesome, the story is interesting because
is about the legend of the jedis they were the protectors of the galaxy but in that time they didn´t
exist anymore.

Another reason is the different planets that are in the big galaxy the aliens, almost all of them speak
their own language, the droids have different language, the battles with the lightsaber are very

exciting, unique. When I see the powers that a jedi can do I want to do the same, see the danger,
use the force and battles with the dark side.

The main reason that I love Star wars is because I have a cousin in the united states, he loves star
wars more than me and when I was a child he show me the movies and I was amazed about
everything of the movie, I can imagine be a jedi and save the galaxy travel to other planets.
Someday I will go to the United States and visit the galaxy of adventures in Disneyland and built my
own lightsaber, interact with the people that acts like the movies and be one with the force.
