The Kids Found the Movie Superb!

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 1999)

Although I would rate Episode 1 as the third best Star Wars Film behind Empire and A New Hope, my kids ranked this movie as the best of the four.
Thus, the new generation of Star Wars fan is founded with Episode 1 as the first film. They loved the focus on a 9 year old and questioned how the cute little boy could become the evil Darth Vader. The Pod Racing seen was a stand-up affair for our 8 year old. The 11 year old loved the sound track and the Queen.
For us old adults? Well, our generation had Episode 4 and if I remember at the time the movie received a similar reception from the critics and my parents at the time. Funny how history repeats in the movie biz!
In conclusion, if you are a Star Wars fan see this film at least once. If you have children, take them to see this film and let them kindle the magic that is Star Wars.
