A movie entirely in the Star Wars spririt.

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 1999)

Finally, I sat in the cinema's comfy seat looking at the commercials. Ever since the day I heard the new Star Wars movie was in the making, I, and quite a few others, had anticipatied this day. You had read in papers about people who had seen the movie and said it wasn't good at all. "This isn't even worth 2 hours of my life" you even heard someone say. As a Star Wars fan, not a freak, there is a difference you know, you took the criticism with ease. Knowing for yourself that 30-year old people who had seen the original Star Wars movies when they were young would probably have far to high hopes for this movie, thinking it would be some kind of out-of-this world experience, you just knew that George Lucas wouldn't let you down. After seeing the movie, I know I was right. The use of special effects made thanks to computers was extensive, but did not at all ruin the movie; Lucas knew that he wanted to use what he could, and he did it. The result? A Star Wars movie with stunning special effects, a story entirely in the Star Wars spirit, characters and actors that match those in the original trilogy and the force as it's ally. Could it fail? Of course not, and it didn't either.
