Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2020)

Star Wars has always been a very well known franchise by everyone around the world. The brilliant man George Lucas has created this new universe full of aliens and planets that people never expected. The original movie, A New Hope, was released in 1977 and people were blown away. Star Wars: A New Hope was a complete success because of its simple but effective plot, the effects and editing of the movie, and also the soundtrack in the movie.
First, the plot makes A New Hope a very successful movie. The Empire has built a planet like base that is capable of destroying planets in seconds and with their master, Darth Vader leading the Empire all hope seemed to be lost. A farm boy named Luke Skywalker meets an old Jedi named Obi-Wan Kenobi and teaches him the ways of the force to become powerful enough to destroy the Empire and rescue one of the rebel leaders, Princess Leia Organa. A bounty hunter named Han Solo and his ship, the Millenium Falcon, help Skywalker and Kenobi reach the princess and bring balance to the galaxy again. This plot was popular with the population because it was a sci-fi movie that people haven't seen before and had a simple plot that anyone could understand. This movie was written by George Lucas, the person who directed the movie as well.
Next, the effects and editing of the movie help make Star Wars a great movie. The special effects of the movie are absolutely incredible for its time. Since the movie was released in 1977, special effects weren't a big thing at the time, but Lucas took it to a whole new level with this movie. CGI was almost non existent but Lucas brilliantly used it to create many things like Jabba the Hutt which was created fully with special effects, many creatures walking around Tatooine, and even the death star. The death star was actually made with cardboard and then edited with effects to make it look real which was unheard of at the time. The editing of this movie was also played a very big role in this movie. Critics have said that without the editing of this movie, it would have been a complete flop. Without the successful edit, this movie would have been a movie about an angry boy seeking revenge for his killed family and that's about it. The way Lucas edited this movie with the multiple cuts from the viewpoint of the Rebels and the Empire helped make this movie make more sense and have a more detailed storyline that was easy to understand.
Lastly, the soundtrack in this movie helped this movie become revolutionary. The score in this movie was composed by John Williams, one of the most known composers in the history of film. The way he composed the score to make the action scenes feel even more thrilling and the Empire song that makes Darth Vader look even more menacing, it all adds more depth and meaning to the movie. The score from A New Hope has become so well known that even non Star Wars fans can recognize the Empire theme song because it is so catchy.
Overall, Star Wars: A New Hope was one of the most influential movies of all time and has excellent elements of film. George Lucas did an amazing job writing and directing this movie, John Williams did very well on the score of the film, and the editing helped make this movie as successful as it was. I believe this is the best Star Wars movie made because it was the beginning of this 43 year long now franchise and there is almost nothing bad to say about this film, it is almost perfect.
