The Greatest Sci-Fi Epic Of All Time

Rating: Null/10 (8 June 2002)

I have one word to say about this movie-wow! Twenty five years since it was released and it can still thrill an audience. Star Wars is great!
I'm not overstating things when I say that Star Wars is truly an epic just like the age old stories of King Arthur and Excalibur. An epic has to have everything-action, adventure, romance, intrigue, deception, betrayal, the lot.
The characters in Star Wars are the greatest characters ever invented for a sci-fi epic. Who can forget the likes of Han Solo and his friend Chewbacca the wookie? What about those two droids C-3PO and R2-D2? What about Darth Vader-a being who became evil purely through circumstances?
I am afraid that words simply cannot do justice to Star Wars. I actually think Star Wars was ahead of it's time-back in 1977 we were not ready for such an epic. It blew our minds. We simply could not comprehend the sheer adventure nor could we foresee the impact Star Wars would have. Even today in 2002 there are fans talking about Star Wars and attending conventions the world over.
If there are any youngsters out there who have not seen Star Wars then I recommend they stop whatever they are doing, head to the nearest video store and buy-not rent-but buy Star Wars and be whisked away to another galaxy for an epic adventure.
Truly amazing!
