The definitive Star Wars film and best of the OT

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2019)

The definitive Star Wars film. When one says Star Wars, this is often times the movie that comes to mind. Lucas proves himself to be the master of story once again, and the performances are all classic: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, Carrie Fischer, and many others are all classic portrayals now. The romance is well built, the action holds up well, and the stakes feel real in a gripping third act. The dark tone boosts the gritty aspect of the film even more. Unfortunately the pacing is not perfect as it does drag quite a bit in the middle act, but this film lives on to be one of the most memorable and quotable movies of all time.
