Episode 4 of 'Planned' nine-part Saga

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2005)

George Lucas used elements of folk motifs, added spectacular visual effects, and cast then-unknowns who had chemistry to craft one of the most enjoyable films of all times.
Not to get too Joseph Campbellesque but by tapping into those traditional-held elements (e.g. the sword, the orphan who is really the lost lord, etc.) predisposed the audience understand the conflicts that Luke must endure in this and future episodes.
Add the mysticism of The Force with its ying/yang Zen of good versus evil and we were ready to follow the Jedi to the end of the cycle. It is criminal that Mr. Lucas broke faith with all of us and will not do the final three episodes.
