Escaping reality

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 1999)

Star Wars gives everyone an opportunity to escape reality and to put themselves in the place of such down to earth characters as Luke Skywalker. One important element to a successful sci-fi film is believability. George Lucas introduces so many new twists to old concepts (light sabre wielding Jedi in place of sword wielding knight) that it easily slips into the backdoor of our minds as something acceptable and plausible. Excellent writing and enjoyability for all ages!
