Definately one of the BEST films of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2002)

This movie alone is a huge reason why sci-fi survived the 70s. Thank god George Lucas saved a genre that otherwise usually brought cheesy crapo movies. Star Trek had been out for about a decade by the time this movie came out, and it saved the genre. Star Wars serves something for everyone from the hijinx of C-3PO and R2-D2, to the mystical powers and introduction of the force, this movie has it all. Sir Alec Guiness, although he didnt intend to do so, will always live on as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Many people feel the same for other performers in this movie, and the rest of the Star Wars Saga. I call this the "James T. Kirk" sydrome. (of course named after William Shatner's role in ST years eariler, one of the first actors to forever be immortalized into a single role). Without Star Wars this world would be a different place, for no movie has touched so many people and no
saga is as timeless.
