The movie that started "it all." George Lucas quite literally picked up a study by Carl Jung on literary archetypes and wrote the script to a "T." Wonderful cast interaction and great "coming of age" film. One of the best parts of the movie is how relatable the characters can be to just about everyone. Luke Skywalker is the farm boy that seeks bigger and better things, Han Solo is the average cocky guy but also has a soft spot for helping people. Wonderfully crafted film to lay ground work for the rest of the saga, starting with episode IV of course.

A groundbreaking and legendary film that is both fun and entertaining beyond belief. The writing is fantastic, the performances have a pulpy undercurrent and the action exhilarating and iconic. An arguably perfect film that captures the feeling of child like wonder and awe unlike any other film.

Unlike anything that came before, Star Wars is epic on every scale; and George Lucas has given us a glimpse of a fully realized universe that leaves its legacy today.

An important and revolutionary film. Unforgettable, fun and smart. If you haven't seen this film yet or any other Star Wars film for that matter, then you are doing a complete disservice!
