This is where it all began...the saga

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2009)

The first Star Wars movie is simply a revolutionary Sci-Fi flick. It created the Star Wars universe and expanded our imagination. The battle between the evil Empire and the Rebel Alliance is an iconic example of Good. vs. Evil.
It introduced new actors, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and even Harrison Ford, and propelled them into their movie careers. George Lucas, the creator of the saga, spent several years on writing and then making the movie. His efforts were not in vain.
A very important part of the movie is the energy that exists throughout the universe - the Force, and the ones who know how to use it - the Jedi.
The antagonist, Darth Vader, became one of the most well known villains in cinema history. And how could he not have become,with such a voice, such attitude and frightening appearance.
A New Hope has special effects that were amazing at that time, great action scenes, a good plot and terrific actors.
Even though this is episode 4 (despite it actually being the first movie), any newcomer to the series should start with this one. It is a spectacular experience.
Final Score: 5/5 or 10/10
