Second best Star Wars movie I've seen (after the first Episode 4, that is) - which I was fortunate to see the 1st night of its release in 1977

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2018)

Who knew then what Star Wars would become, what an inpact on movies, culture, (merchandising) and, unfortunately how film has become considered a commodity as opposed to an art. Thank goodness for the rise of smaller, independent studios. (But can anyone clear this up for me. How does Disney, alreadt owners of The Muppets, LucasFilm and the Marvel Movies NOT have a conflict of intrerest I acquiring Fox Programming,
The purists say this movie goes against every concept, idea and vision of the Star Wars universe. But just like the Leaders, Jedi and Rebellion changed, so must the plot to some degree. Different times, different people, different actions. I think this is Mark Hamill's best portrayal as Skywalker. Kudos to the writers, director, actors and creative teams.
