The film that got Lucas started

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2002)

This was the film that made George Lucas famous. The movie had excellent visual effects for a movie in the 70s. It did deserve the award it got for the effects. The effects do not compare to the Menace and the Clones, but they are still good.
I find the movie a little slow at times. That is why it is not my favorite Star Wars. It has some great acting at times but Harrison Ford shows that he does not care for the movie in some scenes. But overall the acting is good. The movie is the third best in the series. It is not as boring as the Empire Strikes Back and does not have some of the bad acting displayed in Clones.
