Shoot 'em up

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2004)

This is easily one of the most entertaining movies in the history of cinema. Too bad the OT isn't released in original DVD yet. But GL?? that didn't stop me from buying a ripped dvd version of your classic!
Anyway, its basically the same plot as Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress. An wise and powerfulold man, with the company of a farm boy who just joined his company must take classified data to a rebel base before they are attacked and blasted into oblivion by the galaxy's most deadly space station.
I don't know whether to believe if Lucas already knew the ENTIRE plot for the trilogy when writing A NEW HOPE, but I like the foreshadowing when Owen says "That's what I'm afraid of" as a response to what Beru told her. And I also like how Obi-Wan tells Luke the truth about his father from "certain points of view."
Very entertaining. Don't let the influence of modern cinema and SFX bias you against the cheese factor in this one.
10/10!
