Review of Star Wars (1977) by Arthur R — 08 Oct 2017

In retrospect its hard to believe that this is the film that changed cinema forever, but Im sure at the time a giant planet-destroying disco-ball was incredible. But its certainly light-years ahead of the prequel series in terms of substance, and that makes it infinitely more engaging.

The characters are more interesting because they're flawed, the relationships arent strictly formulaic, and it made liking the bad guy mainstream.
