The beginning of it all...

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2005)

I loved this film. Simple. I'm sure you will too. I watched this first in 1984 or so, the original version, and was amazed. It got me into Star Wars - and I'm still a fan of it today. It is obvious that this film had a lower budget than the sequels + prequels, but I found that this film has an atmosphere than none of the others have - Possibly as its a new world(s) you're part of.
It has everything - From villains, to love scenes, to intense space battles which fill you with adrenalin. I recently purchased the 2004 DVD, and found it worthwhile. I strongly recommend giving this film a go - whatever version you go for, you're in for a treat.
May the force be with you.
