Rating: 10/10 (29 September 1999)

This the first of the "Star Wars" movies. It deals with robots, the force, good and bad. The robots escape from the empire during a battle.They land on a nearby planet. There they meet Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan, and Han Solo. With their new friends ,they leave to get the data on one of the robots is carrying to a safe location. But they get diverted, instead they arrive on a huge planetoid. It is a really a giant space station. They rescue a kind,beautiful young woman. After they save her, they have a series of adventures trying to leave the space station. They eventually leave the space station. The rebel forces and the empire have all out war outside the space station. Luke and the rebels save the day ,along with Han Solo's help. This movie started the careers of some todays hottest stars. Harrison Ford went on to do the "Indy Jones" movies,the Tom Clancy Thrillers "Partiot Games","Clear and Present Danger""Air Force One", and many others. Carrie Fischer has starred in many movies since this . Her most recent "Austin Powers". Mark Hamill has starred in other things,but most of them seem like b grade sci- fi.
This movie is one of my favorite science fiction . It has great special effects and a fairly decent story line. This movie would have two sequels made. But those reviews are for another time!!Watch this movie if you like great science fiction and awesome special effects!!
