Happy Birthday Peter Mayhew (Chewy)

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2007)

Has it been 30 years since we first enjoyed one of the most spectacular films of the 20th Century. This film is older than many of the people I know.
Volumes have been written on the creativity and innovation that was brought forth by George Lucas. This film had it all: sets, costuming, visual effects, music, writing and directing. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were light years behind the rest of America when they ignored this film for some Woody Allen comedy. They really showed their bias there! It is hard to believe Harrison Ford had been around for 10 years before this film. He seemed so young and fresh, and we know he goes on to some great work after wards. He is the one I remember most fondly from the film. Of course, one will never forget Chewbacca.
