Movie star wars

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2005)

Following the small film American Graffiti, George Lucas unleashed Star Wars on the public and movies have never been the same since. A space opera, Star Wars featured never before seen special effects, exotic alien lands and introduced the world to the oddball characters of the Star Wars series. Harrison Ford, who was unknown at the time, stole this movie as Hans Solo the wise-cracking pilot and this film made him a superstar overnight. Legendary actor Alec Guiness is the Jedi master Obi Wan. There are also the robots R2-D2 and C-3PO and let's not forget Chewbacca the giant wookie. The movie was followed by two sequels and then three more Star Wars films. The first film is by far the best in the series. Star Wars is #15 on the American Film Institute's 100 greatest films list.
