A Reboot of Star Wars A New Hope

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2016)

First off I'm a big fan of Star Wars. I watched the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in the theaters in 1980 and 1983 and I had the original Star Wars action figures, Boba Fett's Slave 1, and Luke's Snowspeeder toys when I was a little boy. So I'm true Star Wars fan. I watched this movie during Christmas week on IMAX 3D. I thought the movie was a modern reboot of Star Wars probably meant for the younger child audience who never saw the originals in the theater. But it was a pretty good movie a helluva lot better story than the dreaded prequels. I was worried at first that this movie would flop because I thought JJ Abram's Star Trek movies and Cloverfield was bad. But I was not disappointed. I only hope that the next sequels will be originally written and not take place on an ice planet or having to deal with a giant slug gangster.
