"Star Wars" (1977)


I have always had a fascination with Star Wars as a child, and the original Star Wars trilogy were some of my favorite films growing up. So with "The Force Awakens" approaching, I have decided to revisit "Star Wars" the original trilogy. Starting today with the one that started it all. So without further ado, here's my short review.

Review:
This is an excellent science fiction/space adventure flick and quite impressive for the late 70's.
George Lucas did a very good directing and told a great story using this interesting world he built.
 It features likable characters, intense action scenes, neat production design, great costumes, unique sound effects, and creative Science fiction elements (light sabers, protocol droids etc.). It also features a killer music score composed by John Williams. The only problem is that this is the special edition with added CGI effects, and the original theatrical cut is kind of hard to find. Overall, this is a great flick and a great franchise starter, and I would highly recommend it to anyone

Max Scale:
Special edition-8/10
Original cut-10/10
Overall-9/10
