The droids are just the best....

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2020)

C3PEO and R2D2 are just the best. The dialogue between them is just hilarious and absolutely perfect with all the drama, tension and action.
The original trilogy just had the perfect mix between humor, drama, action and suspense. And they have never been able to capture it again.
Such a feel good movie. However, the Special Edition is horrible. Unnecessary and filled with even worse special efx. Watch the despecialized version if you can find it which is the original release.
In a New Hope we establish Obi Wan doesn't know the droids, but in the prequels he is around them all the time. Same with Vader. Made no sense and Lucas should have never made the prequels.
Some of the stuff is a bit dated now and it is a little slower than when I saw it originally. But all that is made up for in the characters, relationship and dialogue. There was an essence they all had which has not been captured in the prequels and sequels. Such an original movie. Han Solo is bad ass and Leia was perfect strong female character. In Force Awakens and the other sequels she is subdued and boring.
Luke went through slow introduction to the force and got a bit of training which was continued in Empire, Return. In the new films Rey and Finn just pick up a light saber and they beat the sith with ease. Such a tragedy to let JarJar Abrams direct the new films.
Very few films deserve 10 stars, but this is def one of them.
