Great film, one of the all-time best.

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2002)

I personally think that Star Wars is one of those films that you could watch over and over and over and over and still enjoy every minute of it just like it was the first time you saw it. Now I was completely impressed by this movie, not just because of the awesome action and acting, but because it had the best special effects of any movie I'd ever seen up to that time. It includes many TIE scenes which I've learned to love as the movies went on (the battle at the end was PERFECT) and I thought the story was fantastic. The problem that I saw with the movie was that I had no idea what was going on in the opening scene, where the Rebels try to escape from the Star Destroyer. I didn't know what the 'Empire' or 'Rebels' were, and I didn't know what the 'plans' were for. I think they should have shown scenes describing all that stuff before the movie was finished. But believe me (and if you don't believe me believe every other breathing object in this world) this movie was GREAT, AWE-INSPIRING...every single descriptive adjective in the book that's a synonym for the word "good".
