A Fantastic Movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2002)

Richard Marquand does an excellent job on this fantastic movie. The Star Wars trilogy is topped by this, which is possibly the best in the series. Any respectful Star Wars fan should own this on video, or turning the key in their car to drive down to the video shop to buy it. Richard Marquands short career left him with at least one highly recognised and brilliant film. Mark Hammil, Harrisson Ford and Carrie Fisher provide steady performances whilst Ian McDiarmid and David Prowse provide an incredible sense of fear to the film. Star Wars is arguabley the best saga of films we will ever see, and we should be glad that quality films like this exist.
