Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2001)

George Lucas' most influential film is often considered a science fiction film. I completely disagree with this. A science fiction film, in my opinion, is storytelling which tries to make us feel like things are out of the ordinary. Aliens and spaceships don't automatically certify the film as sci fi. I would consider Star Wars a fantasy, because it takes us out of our world and into another. Star Wars is pure entertainment, fulfilling one of the key purposes of cinema. One of the reasons Star Wars has been so successful is because it is like a cure for everyday life, you can just leave to another galaxy far far way.
RATING: 10
