The best out of the origional trilogy.

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2002)

It was this week that I finally watched the original Star Wars trilogy again, the first time in maybe 5 to 6 years. My only real recollection of Star Wars were of the two prequels, which I love. Upon watching Episodes 4-6 I can say this is the best of the three.
The number one reason this film is the best is because you do not need to have seen any Star Wars film before it (much like Episode I). Nothing about it's pop culture status sways me to think that this is the best one, heck, it's pop culture status sure doesn't stop me from ignoring the flaws in this movie.
"Everybody's a comedian." This must have been the motto Lucas had in mind, because everybody in this film is wise cracking. Han Solo wise cracks, Princess Leia wise cracks, C-3PO wise cracks, even Chewbacca and R2-D2 wise crack, and we don't know what they are saying. All the comedy makes it hard to figure out what genre this film is supposed to be in. The acting in the film is a half/half venture, some of the actors are great (Han, Vader, C-3PO) and some needed to take a few more acting lessons (Luke, Leia). Put all that with a simple yet fun plot and you have an inventive, light Sci-Fi adventure,.
The two reasons to see this movie, that it is horribly fun and the universe that Mr. Lucas has created is full of originally designed ships, creatures, and comedians, I mean characters.
So if you are one of the few people who have never seen Star Wars, you have nothing to fear from a TV, it is not a box full of trapped souls. So get over your fear of TV and see this darn good sci-fi movie.
