Episode IV

It's a very good movie. Well worth your money.
The plot follows (*SPOILERS*)
At the beginning, Princess Leia's starcruiser, the Tantive IV, is drawn into the main hangar of an Imperial Star Destroyer by a tractor beam. The Rebels have just intercepted plans from the Imperials. The plans are hidden in R2-D2 who is walking in the corridors with his protocol counterpart, C-3PO. The droids escape in an escape pod after R2 gets a holographic message put in him by Leia and land on Tatooine, a desert planet. They are then captured by Jawas. The camera switches to Luke Skywalker, an 18 year-old. His Uncle Owen buys R2 and 3PO. Soon after, R2 runs away and Luke follows. On the way he meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight who gives him Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber. Luke goes back to find Owen and Beru killed by stormtroopers. Obi-Wan takes him to Mos Eisley, where they enter the cantina. In the cantina they meet Han Solo and Chewbacca who take try to take them to the Alderaan. But unfortunately before they reach there, the Imeperials' giant space station, the Death Star, blows up the planet.

The group rescues the princess, but Obi-Wan ends up in a lightsaber duel with the Sith Lord, Darth Vader, and is killed. Luke and the rest of them go to the Rebel Alliance's base on Yavin IV and fly to the Death Star and blow it up.
(*SPOILERS ENDS HERE*)
All in all, this is a great movie and I would highly reccommend it.

a classic (exept for the part that this is actauly entirtaning)

now lets all remember the days before we had the courage to drive 5 miles ,run out of gas,wate a hour in trafic just too arive at the movie rental place to be greated with the cashier who takes 1 hour to suposably get"change"and repeat.we thouht it was about a 90 year old guy trying to teach some 15 year old how to use a apparently deadly lightbulb,a stressed out princess who wares her hair in a wierd fashion.some well none actor who hangs out with a walking carpet,and finally a guy who oboulesly dosent know that black isnt the newest fashion.but after wathing it realised it was more ,it was about the making of a legend.a movie that would change the movie indersty.great acting (i espeshily liked harrison fords performens).a story of hope and courage as a band of peaple try to restore peace to the galixy. along the way you fall in love with the characters overeral any one who wasnt already seen this master piece GET IT NOW.

A Classic Science Fantasy

No, this is not true science fiction. In fact, this is not supposed to be future, but to have happened a long, long, time ago in a galaxy far away.

But this is a classic adventure. It was pure fun, without the darkness that would follow in even "The Empire Strikes Back."

There was a book out titled "The Force Of Star Wars", seeing this movie as a Christian allegory. It isn't, and the later movies more clearly show the eastern mysticism that Lucas believes in. There are hints here, but not enough for me to say that promoting that view was the goal for this movie (though it may have been for the series).

I hope you enjoyed this review. Now go have a piece of cake, and as you lift the eating untensil to your mouth . . . May the fork be with you!
