So now we're finally at one of the greatest film trilogies of all time and the first Star Wars movie that came out in 1977 and was gigantic. It changed cinema forever and changed how people write about movies nowadays. What's the story? It takes place years later after Revenge of the Sith and Darth Vader is attacking a rebel ship trying to find plans for the rebels to destroy the Death Star which is the empire's space station. A princess named "Leia", played by Carrie Fisher, puts the plans inside R2 and both him and C-3PO get into an escape pod and land on Tatooine where they're being sold and the people who buy them are Owen Lars and Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hamill, who's Anakin Skywalker and Padme son. But back then, the people who saw this didn't know that. Anyway, Luke and C-3PO talk about how him and R2 were on the ship trying to escape. Luke discovers a message inside R2 of Leia asking Obi-Wan for help. His uncle tells him that Obi-Wan died when his father died, and we all know that's not true. That night R2 runs off but Luke and C-3PO find him the next morning but Sand People attack Luke but he's then saved by Obi-Wan, now played by Alec Guinness. They all go back to Luke's place where Obi-Wan explains that he fought in the clone wars and was a Jedi knight just like Anakin. He also gives Luke Anakin's lightsaber, and I'm going to say this right now, lightsabers are awesome. One of the coolest weapons ever.
I mean, look at that. That is awesome. It'd be cool if they were real. Anyway, Obi-Wan tells him that Darth Vader is the one who killed his father. They watch the whole message of Leia asking Obi-Wan for help. Luke says he'll take Obi Wan somewhere to get to where she is. However when he gets home, his aunt and uncle are burned and his home's destroyed because of storm troopers. He then decides to go with Obi-Wan from now on. Obi-Wan begins to train Luke in the art of the Jedi. They all go to a canteen and it's a really awesome scene to look at. There, they meet Han Solo played by Harrison Ford and Chewbacca the Wookie or "Chewie." They ask them to fly them to a planet to meet Leia. And the rest I won't say because I think I've said too much. Anyway, the good things in this movie are too many to count. The special effects are unbelievable. I mean, this was made in the 70's and they look so real. I think the best one is the final fight with all the fighter ships trying to destroy the Death Star. Watch this.
That is great stuff. And the cast is really good. My favourite character in the whole trilogy is Luke. He's my favourite Star Wars character of all. And while the lightsaber fight between Obi-Wan and Vader isn't that spectacular, you've still gotta give them credit that it looks as good as it does. And Vader himself here is so awesome. He's one of the coolest villains ever and has one of the most awesome voices ever. And we know the ginormous twist in the next movie. I won't say until the next review but you all know what it is. So yeah. This movie is one of the biggest movie landmarks in cinema history. And I'd say go see it but let's face it, you already have.
