This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."That was the line that started it all. A story about a hero's journey, like no other.It's writing started in January 1973, "eight hours a day, five days a week", George Lucas said by taking small notes, inventing odd names and assigning them possible characterization... After many drafts, he finally came to a satisfactory conclusion.Then, Lucas presented Star Wars to the United Artists, but they refused to budget the film, so he went to Universal Pictures, the studio that financed American Graffiti; however, it was rejected, as the film concept was "a little strange".How wrong were they, right? But suddenly, a light appeared: Alan Ladd Jr -head of 20th Century Fox-, a man that deeply trusted in Lucas genius. And that's how Star Wars became a reality.The filming of the movie was a harsh one. Full of mishaps, problems with practical effects, a bad first edit of the movie, but that did not stop George from fulfilling his marvelous Space Opera. Due to those setbacks, the Fox Study began to put pressure on Lucas to finish the movie. Finally, the movie was done. On the eve of Star Wars release, 20th Century Fox, George Lucas and his cast and crew braced themselves for the worse. One way or another, May 25, 1977 would be a day they would never forget...Star Wars became the biggest movie of it's time, the special effects were completely revolutionary, the story and the characters were highly original and compelling, the dialogues were beautifully written, the shots were beautiful, the battles in space dynamic, the lightsaber fight between two old friends left everybody with their mouth open. The original soundtrack composed by John Williams accompanied the movie like no other could've done. This was a movie that changed cinema forever. This proves the love and dedication George Lucas put on Star Wars. His ideas came from books such as "The hero with a thousand faces" by Joseph Campbell, The War of Vietnam inspired the battle between the Rebels and the Empire, the lifestyle of buddhist monks characterized the Jedi, real shots of warplanes made the space battles posible, Kendo was behind the duel, Akira Kurosawa was a huge influence on Lucas creative mind as well. Aside from his fascination with filmmaking, his interest on anthropology -obtained at the university- allowed the movie to be compelling and human, besides being located on a galaxy far, far away... These days, people dont't realize how marvelous and important this movie is to the art of cinema. Thanks, George. 10/10

I love this movie! It is amazing! It is the first Science Opera movie in the world. A main character named Luke who lives in a devastated planet gets caught in a galaxy war by his destiny. There is Rebel Alliance Army of justice, and Galaxy Empire of evil. He joins in the Rebel and fights against the Empire. The story is very fascinating for me. In addition to it, characters are also interesting. They have individual personality. Although this is a story of distant world, these characters make audience get a sense of affinity. Their looks are far from us, but they have something real like us. There is one scene which I love. That is when Darth Vader of Empire attacks Luke's fighter. When Darth Vader gives him the last blow, laser attack comes to Darth Vader from a pilot named Han Solo of the Rebel. Darth Vader looks backwards quickly in his fighter. This production is very fantastic. It is because, although Darth Vader cannot see anything of his back, he looks backwards unconsciously. This scene makes audience be excited. By the enemy looking back, audience recognize that the help comes, and Luke will save. This scene emphasizes them.

Star Wars by George Lucas was the first film I ever remember seeing and it still holds up today as one of the most marvellous spectacles in Sci Fi history.Everything from the effects to the characters to the world building! All these things add up together to make one of the greatest Sci Fi Films in cinema history!
