Review of Star Wars (1977) by Kevin P — 25 May 2018

Epic, and fearless. Great characters (unafraid to give non-humans, women, and guys who shoot first, a key role). Vader deserves his iconic status. Luke was a great pilot and a great shot but could not USE the force or a light saber because no training had occurred.

..prefect heroes-journey movie for Luke and Han, perfect subversion of the "princess" stereotype, immaculate score, unbelievable (for its time) effects, amazing cinematography, great ensemble chemistry, (apparently) inspired editing, the list goes on! Topped only by Empire, but not enough to remove 1/2 a star in comparisson (I can't give it 4.

95 stars). A shining beacon of perfection and good film making, before the dark times...
