The greatest movie of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 1999)

George Lucas was a brilliant writer. He knew how take the age old plot line of an ordinary boy becoming a legendary hero, through the trials of life, death and romance. He topped it off by giving it a futuristic, science fiction twist. Between the three of his movies this one was the best. It developed the viewer's perception of the Empire and how rotten and evil it truly was. It developed Darth Vader's character into something that would make us shudder just hearing him breath. It clarified this mysterious power called the "force." It contained outstanding battle scenes, on land, in space and man to man. Finally, it set up our curiosity about Jabba the Hutt and the Emperor himself. This had to be best movie of all time. I wasn't big on Lucas' additions to the originals, but he managed not to tamper too much with this one.
