A classic that cannot be remade because of the actors

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2008)

This is the first star wars movie that earned ambitious George Lucas an Oscar nomination, and millions of dollars. This was the launch to various sequels , toys, games and defined the star wars mythology like no other. I have to give it to Lucas, the story is amazing. The creativity is awesome, the excitement is average (because the special effects in recent movies have more zest) but nonetheless it will still have it's place in the history of great movies. Luke Skywalker lives with his boring uncle Owen who aspires for Luke to continue the family tradition of being a farmer and to take care of their land when he passes away. But Ben Kenobi, an old "hermit" opens Luke's eyes for something more adventurous. He helps Luke go on an amazingly stellar journey to rescue a tough princess from the bad but likably powerful Darth Vader. To get there, he meets the cocky but handsome spaceship pilot Han Solo and his hairy buddy Chewy. Also, bringing in the humor are two smart-ass pieces of machinery, C-3P0 and R2D2.
