Star Wars Episode IV : A New Hope

Directed by George Lucas
Staring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford & Carrie Fisher
Rating PG
Score 6/6

Naive farm boy Luke Skywalker travels from his home planet Tatooine with new friends Ben Kenobi, R2-D2, C3-PO and Han Solo and rescue Rebel Leader Princess Leia and then teams up with the Rebel Alliance to destroy the Empire’s ultimate weapon.

A New Hope is a movie that should be respected for what it has achieved bringing about a revolution in the special effects industry. If you haven’t at very least heard about Star wars where have you been living for the past 30 years? A New Hope has it all space ships, an evil galactic empire, a beautiful princess and an idealistic rebel alliance.

Editor’s Note:

For a long time I wondered what I would say if I ever meet George Lucas. Just recently I realized all that i could really say to him is “Thank You”. Thank you for making a series of films that have formed such a strong part of my childhood. So in strong in fact, the Star Wars movies will always be on my sentimental list of favorite movies.
The first time I actually watched Star Wars: A New Hope I was to young to remember. I’m told that I was about 12 months old when on a Saturday morning my Sister got me out of my cot and made me breakfast and set me down in front of the TV to watch Star Wars: A New Hope on tape. This continued every Saturday morning until the tape ended up in such a state that it was impossible to watch.
So to George Lucas and everyone who had a part to play in the making of the Star Wars Trilogy “Thank You” for making the Movies and “Thank You” from the bottom of my heart for those Saturday mornings.
