The movie that propably had the most impact on my life. I was little over 10 at the time I saw it first. My dad brought it home on VHS. From the first second my eyes were glued to the screen. Immediately after it was over I rewound the tape and watched it again which up to today, close to 35 later, I haven´t done with any other movie. I recorded it on audio tape so I could listen to it, even wrote down the whole thing on paper (that was well before the internet, folks). We re-ennacted the scenes, I had memorized every line. I cannot recall how many times I`ve seen it since then. I would give it 11 if possible.

This came out in 1977, of course the spaceships and the special effects look so bad. I saw it for the first time yesterday and I liked it.

Show?
fan of the franchise but i kinda dislike this one. would probably have been better as a stand alone movie but the prequels and sequels kinda make it look bad (story doesn't add up). also, why didn't they show any emotion back then? (luke when his aunt and uncle were evaporated, leia when alderaan exploded). animation for the time pretty good and in the remastered versions even nowadays watchable. ..but why the hell would obi wan just teleport away and leave his robe? is he naked now? did he transform into a higher being just like that? is luke remembering or can obi wan speak to him as a ghost now? why did the deathstar fly around the planet instead of just evaporating it together with the rebel base and why is there not a single star destroyer to guard the nearly defenseless, hugely expensive death star? it gets weirder the more you think about the movie

There aren't many films that the term "iconic" feels insufficient as a description, but Is there any point in reviewing this ? Has anybody over 10 still not seen it ? The only part of the series that can really be watched as a standalone film, even with the controversy over changes, it i More

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope - 10/10

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know Lucas changed the movie up and made it look a little shinier. But whatever. It's still the classic we know and love, as hard as that is for some to believe. Get over it. Some flaws/things I noticed for the first time while More

I managed to get ahold of an HD rip from the original Laserdisc set over the weekend, and immediately commenced with my first non-Special Edition viewing in about fifteen years. In a roundabout way, Lucas's tweaks and reworkings in later versions of this film actually make the original effects m More

A quality start to the franchise.

I say start, I guess that depends on the (seemingly) controversial way of watching these films - I've decided on release order, so it's the beginning for me anyway. I've heard a lot about 'Star Wars' so I am expecting big things, this didn' More
