My third favorite movie and a beautifully crafted beginning to a trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

This is my third favorite movie after The dark knight and pulp fiction, and I have to say, the CGI, acting, scenery, and story building are so on point with this film that it puzzles me as to why this is rated lower than empire strikes back. NO other beginning of a trilogy, other than maybe Rocky and the Godfather, has had such comparable rating to the sequel. This built up an amazing backstory without many loopholes. There are so many iconic scenes in this movie such as Luke meeting Obi Wan, Luke looking at the twin suns, the beginning with Leia's ship being attacked, the Greedo scene, and more. All this really makes this a joy to rewatch over and over again for me.
