Luke Skywalker sets out on an adventure to save the woman he thinks is beautiful and the galaxy in the process

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2005)

despite being a tad on the long side, the original "star wars" has everything a movie needs to be great...a hero, the best villain of all time in Darth Vader, the beautiful heroin, and the cocky rogue (Han Solo)...throw all that in with a planet-destroying space station and you have one of the best movies ever...the graphics of Lucasarts are incredible for being 1977, and they add a level of realism that was nonexistent in movies at the time...also, the depth of the characters and the rich storyline got me hooked and involved like i haven't been in many movies in my life...i caught myself genuinely caring who won the battles, and more than once i caught myself jumping out of my seat giving a little cheer when the good guys managed to get a victory over the all-powerful empire...all in all, star wars kicks off the best series of movies of all time, and ranks in the top two or three of my list of all time favorites
