Synopsis
Nineteen years after the formation of the Empire, Luke Skywalker is thrust into the struggle of the Rebel Alliance when he meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has lived for years in seclusion on the desert planet of Tatooine. Obi-Wan begins Luke's Jedi training as Luke joins him on a daring mission to rescue the beautiful Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of the evil Empire. Although Obi-Wan sacrifices himself in a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader, his former apprentice, Luke proves that the Force is with him by destroying the Empire's dreaded Death Star.
Review
Also known as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, 'Star Wars' is very well the greatest space opera to ever exist. Its significance had given pop culture a sense of symbolism with various memorable characters and moments. From Han Solo's notorious 'who shoot first' moment to the borderline incestuous relationship between Luke and Leia, the film never runs short of something that defines what it is today. So much can be said in praising Lucas' direction, but I would rather respect the obvious by speaking less about it. After all, this is the movie that introduces the intergalactic weapon of death - lightsaber.
