An all time masterpiece! - Star Wars Reviews
What can I say, this sprawling space epic revolutionized the way a generation would view movies, and forever changed the landscape of Hollywood cinema, as well as pop culture. This is Star Wars; the modern day sci-fi mythology that gave us Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, the force, light sabers, R2-D2, C3PO, Princess Leia, and Han Solo. Even now, I still get chills when Darth Vader makes his first appearance on the Rand Eliptic; smoke filling the hallways as he gracefully and menacingly steps over the bodies of Rebel troopers, while storm troopers stand at the ready. Luke Skywalker comes of age while rescuing the Princess from the Death Star, and manages to help resurrect a hero in Han Solo, a renegade space pirate running from his destiny to be a natural leader. For many, this is the standard for modern day mythology, and few films can ever hope to come close to the popularity, visual mastery, and themes of spirituality and friendship that make Star Wars one of the great films of all time.
