Still the best

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2007)

I saw this film in the cinema when I was a mere six years old and the thrill still leaves me in as much awe as it did twenty eight and a half years ago. In all films I've seen in the cinema, none have come close. The follow ups were were brilliant, but this one had it all. Lucas made some job of casting for this film too. Where the other Star Wars films were brilliant, particularly Empire, this is the only one that had it all. The start on Tatooine was so perfectly orchestrated. Alec Guinness was awesome as Obi Wan Kenobi. Harrison Ford was incredible in an early role for him, as the space pirate who doesn't really seem to care about anybody but himself! Mark Hamill was fantastic as the kid from the moisture farm with dreams of far away. The escape from Mos Eisley and then the rescue of Princess Leia from the Death Star, including all the mishaps that befell our heroes during this daring rescue were incredible. The final unmatched dogfight above the Death Star was incredible. The conclusion of this was a real crowd pleaser and had people gagging for more Star Wars. With John Williams unbelievable soundtrack too, this stands as one of the greatest films of all time
