A Masterpiece!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 1999)

George Lucas has done it again. 22 years after directing Star Wars Episode IV in 1977, George Lucas has, again, directed one of the best movies of the year. The movie is filled with stunning visual effects; unlike anything I've ever seen. Star Wars Episode I is a great movie to watch and is also aimed at audiences in almost all of the age groups. Little children, especially, will enjoy it. My favorite parts of the movie are the Pod Race and the fighting sequences. The main characters in the movie are Anakin Skywalker, Qui-Gonn Juinn, and a young Obi-Wan Kenobi. They meet lots of characters along the way. The setting takes place approximately 32 years before Episode IV and it focuses on the life of Luke and Leia's father, Anakin Skywalker. Overall, a great movie to watch. An easy "12" on a 1 to 10 scale!
