May it live forever

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 1999)

Only a few movies in cinema's 100-plus year history have become immortal in the way that this movie has, and even then there are few films that have captured the imagination with such élan. People all over the world have said in so many different ways what makes STAR WARS so great, but the greatest thing that can be said about it is that there will never be anything like it for all time. The story resonates for people in every culture and of every generation. George Lucas can proudly take his place among such literary titans as Homer, Shakespeare, and Dickens. His 1977 movie is a myth not just for the 20th century, but for all perpetuity. May STAR WARS live forever.
