9 on a scale of 10

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 1999)

Welcome home. That's how I felt when I saw this movie. It was wonderful to become reacquainted with the series. I can't come up with a single objection to the movie. I can't say it blew me away (well, the special effects did), but it was as good as it could be short of that.
Lucas did a magnificent job of setting the stage for the next episodes and for the "future" trilogy. I thought I would surely have to watch the other 3 movies first to get prepared. I didn't get the chance, but I wouldn't have needed to. Of course 15 years or so is a long time to patch any holes.
