A Sci-fi masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2010)

It's the year 1977, when Star Wars first opened to theaters, many people were excited to see it, so it made a huge amount of cash in the box office and so far is was one of the best movies of all time.
This was before the Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, The Matrix, The Bourne series, and Jurassic Park trilogies.
It stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, Anthony Daniels, James Earl Jones (Voice of Darth Vader), Kenny Baker (inside R2-D2), Peter Cushing, etc.
In a galaxy far, far away, a psychopathic emperor and his most trusted servant - a former Jedi Knight known as Darth Vader - are ruling a universe with fear. They have built a horrifying weapon known as the Death Star, a giant battle station capable of annihilating a world in less than a second. When the Death Star's master plans are captured by the fledgling Rebel Alliance, Vader starts a pursuit of the ship carrying them. A young dissident Senator, Princess Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), is aboard the ship & puts the plans into a maintenance robot named R2-D2. Although she is captured, the Death Star plans cannot be found, as R2 & his companion, a tall robot named C-3PO, have escaped to the desert world of Tatooine below. Through a series of mishaps, the robots end up in the hands of a farm boy named Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), who lives with his Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru. Owen & Beru are viciously murdered by the Empire's stormtroopers who are trying to recover the plans, and Luke & the robots meet with former Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) to try to return the plans to Leia Organa's home, Alderaan. After contracting a pilot named Han Solo (Harrison Ford) & his Wookiee companion Chewbacca, they escape an Imperial blockade. But when they reach Alderaan's coordinates, they find it destroyed - by the Death Star. They soon find themselves caught in a tractor beam & pulled into the Death Star. Although they rescue Leia Organa from the Death Star after a series of narrow escapes, Kenobi becomes one with the Force after being killed by his former pupil - Darth Vader. They reach the Alliance's base on Yavin's fourth moon, but the Imperials are in hot pursuit with the Death Star, and plan to annihilate the Rebel base. The Rebels must quickly find a way to eliminate the Death Star before it destroys them as it did Alderaan.
Back in 1997, George Lucas was recreating the trilogy into special editions to the series, by adding special effects, different scenes and altered dialog that almost ruins the whole trilogy. (If you see the original films, you know that they've made some serious changes to the films that Star Wars fans would of noticed).
There's no words to say about this movie, it's a masterpiece that we all knew. The performances of the actors were amazing, special effects of its time was great, and the directing was great too.
It's one of the best movies ever created, and one of the best blockbuster movies ever.
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope gets 10 stars.
