The movie that started off one of the most popular Saga franchises in Cinematic history! this is truly a Sci-fi classic. This timeless masterpiece, Is in everyone's top ten list of the greatest movies of all time and if it isn't, it should be. George Lucas has managed to make himself a billionaire due to the name Star wars, so he must be doing something right for the millions and millions of fanatic fans out there. If you haven't already seen this movie, Then I don't know where you have been for the last 30 years!

A naive young farm boy (Hamill), a mystical old sage (Guinness), and a smuggler (Ford) get caught up in an intergalactic rebellion.

After directing "THX1138" and the hugely successful "American Graffiti", George Lucas found himself in great demand in 1974. "Apocalypse Now" looked to be next on his slate, having been prepped by collaborator Francis Ford Copola, and suitably in keeping with the young director's previous mature and intelligent work. Instead, he surprised everyone by heading off to England to make a Flash Gordon movie with tin robots, space wizards and a seven-foot dog.

The film's success at the box office (and in exploiting its promotional and merchandizing potential) is now legendary. If you adjust for inflation, the worldwide gross stands at nearly $2 billion, and that doesn't include revenue from sequels, video games, and merchandize. Nor does it reflect the large proportion of the populace who consider the film an abomination. Quite why it remains so divisive is hard to understand. There are certainly flaws, particularly relevant to the film's critics than to its fans, detractors preferring to cite vague concerns over the film's influence on Hollywood's increasing commercialism. But that is to miss the point entirely. It is inevitable that success will bring about change in any industry; we should be grateful the film which became the medium's most popular offspring is one of such charm, innocence and all round quality. The score is one of the greatest ever recorded, the effects are photo-real, the production design is timeless and the whole thing is stuck together with a masterly ability for storytelling.

For most of the generation lucky enough to discover "Star Wars" before its formula was imitated and diluted, it remains the shared, innocent, and fantastical experience we remember from childhood, and nothing can change that.

The film turn on the endlessly renewed battle between good and evil, the former represented by the Jedi knights and the mystical Force which they are in touch with, and the latter by the Galactic Empire with its Nazi-like storm-troopers…

Luke Skywalker's simple farming life on a remote planet is dramatically changed when he intercepts a distress call from rebel leader Princess Leia Organa… The message leads him to Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi and with the two droids C3PO and R2D2, and later Chewbacca and Han Solo, their journey to release the princess from the evil Empire begins…

Now a quarter of a century old, Lucas' project has benefited from improvements in special effects technology, but his vision has remained the same: a naive, even childlike belief in absolute good and evil, a preference for action over character and spectacle over everything…
