Incredibly emotional, incredibly intense, incredible action

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2003)

The original trilogy has been an institution to many a kid, me included. The story of a young boy named Luke Skywalker who finds his destiny as the leader of a cause has been done to death forever and a day. Star Wars is the ultimate thrill ride, a feast for the senses. The characters are timeless, charming, deep and emotional. The plot mixes religion, mysticism, politics, human drama, etc on a vast scale and can be considered the ultimate film battle of good and evil. Star Wars never lets up from beginning to end and has a deadly seriousness to it. One of the best mixes of effects, shock, emotion and intensity ever put on film. Essentially a reproduction of old movie serials, updated for the times with a space opera format.
