One of the Greatest Movies to Ever Be Shown on the Screen

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 1999)

This movie was fantastic, and could never be passed up as the best science fiction movie of all time, unless it was by another of the Star Wars movies. The part of Luke Skywalker is played perfectly by Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford is a perfect Han Solo, the role that launched his career. Look for James Earl Jones in the role that made his voice famous as the deep baritone of Darth "Anakin Skywalker" Vader. This movie contains some of the most quoted lines in history including "may the force be with you" and "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away." Lucas was denied a much deserved Academy Award for this film, one of only five he's directed. An oldie but goodie. See the original, then see the Special Edition. You will appreciate the Special Edition much more.
