The start of the best trilogy and films ever made

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2014)

This film and the original Star Wars has a special place in my heart as it was the first film and trilogy I remember seeing as a child and I must say 10 years later it is still one of the best films of all time. When pushed for my favourite film of all time I am always struggling to pick between the three Star Wars films or the three Lord Of the Rings but I must say when a film can just make you smile no matter what mood your in or no matter how many times you have seen it that film holds a special case in your heart like Star Wars has for me. This film starts in space with the Evil Empire attempting to destroy a bunch of Rebels against their regime, through some events young Luke Skywalker meets a seasoned Jedi Warrior Obi Wan Kenobi and along with some friends embark on a mission to take down the Empire. Now everybody in this film has a great performance but their are two very different performances that may be the greatest performances ever. Harrison Ford as Han Solo is everything a man wants to be he just oozes confidence and takes no garbage from anybody including princess Leia overall he grows with this trilogy and as a character but Han Solo in my opinion is easily one of the best characters of all time. Also when talking about villains in film history in my opinion the most intimidating and villainous force in any movie has to be Darth Vader this entity is just the most evil character ever put on screen and is also the most intriguing villain of all time. Now when this film came out it changed cinema and changed the game for how we see film now, also I did watch Star Wars to review this on the DVD version so there was some tweaks but I just try to use the score, the characters and the settings to pull me back into Star Wars land and forget about these differences. Overall a flawless attempt at sci-fi to open a trilogy that in my opinion while never be bested in my eyes.
