What can one say?

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2019)

This movie is so ingrained into my DNA, it is almost a part of me. I was four years old, living in New Jersey when this came out, and I remember going to see it at the drive in. Back in those days, this was a summer movie. I remember vividly, as I lay on the roof of the family station wagon, the feeling of awe as the Tie Fighters flew across the screen. At one point in my life, I had seen this movie so often, that I would recite lines of dialog from start to finish with each character without messing one word up. This movie is so much more than a film about good versus evil, or family woes. This movie was the start of a universe, beloved by millions of people. On a shoestring budget with a little known director, came forth something that has yet to be repeated. All three of the original films were masterpieces in their own rights, but this is the one that captured everyone from the onset. Once a year, I sit down and watch this movie, that is only slightly younger than am I, and I have yet to tire of it.
