The Quest Begins

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2005)

The quest begins for this 2 hit wonder. The movie is about Luke Skywalker beginning his quest to become a Jedi knight, where he has to struggle with his emotions, and learning a dark secret of his family history, and to the man who murdered his father (as mentioned in the original Star Wars).
Not only that, this movie also dwells upon the obsession that Darth Vader has over Luke, and to the reason why he is risking everything over the young man. As well as a growing relationship between Han Solo and Princess Leia. This movie also brings forth 2 memorable quotes, which one not only reveals Vaders hidden secret, but also an incredible shock value that still ripples through pop culture today.
As well, this movie is the last movie where the Star Wars franchise exceeded general movie expectations, and met Star Wars expectations. After that, the franchise expectations drops. Dropping this movie to 7.5 out of 10 instead of 8.
But still, this movie and the original is still a 2 hit wonder.
