An epic adventure, deserving of its hype and loyalty

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2009)

George Lucas' achievements as a director, writer, and visionary will be discussed for generations to come. Had he never released another film, his place in history was made with this film.
A sweeping, epic story where good is good, evil is evil, and things are exactly as they seem. A story made up of memorable characters, quotable quotes, and a thunderous musical score. A story born of the most basic elements of story telling, and masterfully weaved together. Visual effects that changed movie making and audience expectations forever.
Beyond question, the most important movie of the 1970s, and still a lot of fun in the 2000s.
