The Star Wars saga has become one of the most iconic film series to have ever been made. Its epic special effects that were completely new upon its initial 1977 release still blows minds today. Heartbeats race in time to the ever-thrilling and recognizable music score by John Williams. Our bottoms will never cease to be on the edge of their seat with every galactic battle.

Besides the plain and pure awesomeness that is the Star Wars series, it has always held a special sentimental place in the hearts of many. It's been a piece of childhoods since the 70s and continues that to today.

The Star Wars series has touched the lives of every generation since its original release. When my parents were kids they sat with wide eyes and dropped jaws as they watched the genuinely out-of-this-world movie. The effects were so beyond its time and were made specifically for the Star Wars movies. Droids, lightsabers, The Force, and everyone's favorite fuzzball, Chewbacca - it was all brand new and had them hooked from the first beeps of R2-D2 to every escape.

Flash forward to 1999- Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is released. Movie theaters are filled with adults with child-like wonder in their eyes. They remember how they first felt watching the original Star Wars, only now they are accompanied by some new Padawans. A whole new generation of children is experiencing the same awe they once felt. I, myself, remember watching Revenge of Sith released the day after my fifth birthday in 2005. Star Wars had now evolved beyond just an epic space opera, it was a family affair.

Last December of 2015, I filed into the premiere showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. As I looked around the theater I saw the faces of people ranging in all ages, from grandparents to grandchildren. But behind physical age, every face showed the same giddy grin and sparkling eye that comes with watching a Star Wars movie. I already have my tickets to see Rogue One this Thursday at 8pm with my family, and I cannot wait to be in a theater where everyone shares the same excitement over a set of stories that changed the film industry and our childhoods forever all over again.

Star Wars - Ages 0 and up, does not require batteries, parental supervision recommended (because they'll want to watch it too). Sit back and enjoy.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
