An American Classic

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2007)

I was born long after this film came out, so I never got to see it in the theaters.
This is one of those movies, that everyone has to see before they die. While the special effects by todays standards are very dated, they are still fun to watch. Basically the story is about a war between the Galatic Empire and the Rebel forces, who are trying to over throw the Empire.
The acting is well done, and the script is done very well also. While yes this film has a lot of mistakes, they are easily overlooked as the film goes on.
I would advised not seeing the 1997 remake, as I feel that wasn't a good choice for George Lucas to do by adding certain things in and thus sorta ruining the movie all together. The 2005 (or 2004 I don't quite remember) release was a small improvement, I would suggest finding a copy of the original which was released on DVD last year and watching that.
Overall, this is a great movie to watch, and you have not lived life, until you have watched the original Star Wars Trilogy.
