Ground Breaking Movie That Carried Us Out of the 20th Century !!!

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2005)

During the 70's, what was a period of confusion, after a decade of war,turmoil, and strife, it is ironic that a film about a fictional Galactic Space War, would deliver such a cathartic emotional response !!!
This is the legacy of Star Wars, George Lucas' little independent film, that almost no major studio wanted to do....
A cast of characters so diverse, the abstraction is a classic !
A young warrior wannabe Mark Hamill(Luke Skywalker), the rogue element, Harrison Ford(Hans Solo), a princess, Carrie Fisher(Leia Organa),a Wizard/Jedi Knight,Alec Guiness(Obi-Wan Kenobi),An Ultimate Evil Knight, Darth Vader and eventually the Emporer, and two little Droids,R2-D2, C3PO,comedy relief and the eyes and ears to help us view the movie !!!
The Empire has taken over the galaxy, but a small force of rebels refuses to be dominated !!
The blueprints for the Death Star, the Empires Super weapon about as big as a small moon, have been stolen by the Rebel Alliance, and are being tracked down by Darth Vader !!!
Princess Leia hide the plans in R2D2, and launches them onto the planet Tatooine, hoping they find their way to Obi-Wan Kenobi, a former active Jedi Knight, who used to protect the Old Republic !!!
Luke Skywalker,finds the Droids and the plans and attempts to locate Obi-Wan on the planet of Tatooine !!!
The Imperial Storm Troopers are on the trail of the Droids, and eliminate all who have come in contact with them !! Lukes' relatives, have been killed by the Storm Troopers,relieving him to explore the cosmos, become a Jedi Knight, help the Rebel Alliance, and free the Galaxy !!!
The special effects were so advanced, because it allowed freedom of movement, which was incredibly unique, way ahead of its time !!!
Can Luke become a Jedi Knight, will the Empire triumph ?Who is Darth Vader ?
Stay tuned thru 2 more sequels, the watch the 3 prequels, all of your questions will be answered!!!
A Great Movie for its time, but somewhat dated by the evolution of the same technology that created this film!!!
See how it all began, way back in 1977, the highest grossing film of that year !!!
