The far, far away galaxy has delivered its frame-by-frame perfection to us.

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2007)

The first sounds we hear are the laser blasts between a Rebel Blockade Runner and an Imperial Star Destroyer, and for the next two hours, we're in that far far away galaxy, witnessing the wars between good and evil. One of the greatest directors of our time said that if you have a villain that your audience is truly afraid of, you've got a brilliant film. George Lucas must have been thinking about that when we see Darth Vader, six-feet-tall and with raspy mechanical breathing, breaking the neck of a Rebel.
The audience had no idea what to think. Man or machine? It didn't matter, did it? It did. That was what made Darth so great: the audience didn't know. He was heartless like a machine, but at the same time, he barked orders like Hitler.
1977 was a landmark year in movie history due to this film, and there has never been a movie that I could compare to this, not even the sequels. The Empire Strikes Back was darker (but equally good, maybe even better) and the rest were nowhere near as good. Mark Hamill is perfect as Luke, and Harrison Ford, Alec Guiness and Carrie Fisher make for great supporting roles (aw, and let's not forget James Earl Jones's Darth Vader voice.
Star Wars became the highest grossing motion picture in its time, and received 6 Oscars (but it should have been 8; Woody Allen's a thief).
I know every form of life in the universe has seen this, but I'll say it anyway: IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE, YOU ARE NOT TRULY ALIVE. SEE IT ASAP!!!!!!!
Age is no exception.
