Lucas's homage to Flash Gordon embraces, too, some of the beloved clichés of cowboy, swashbuckler, and aviator movies. The story is set in a remote galaxy in the remote past, so that it can't be mistaken as a reflection of anything in modern-day society except Hollywood hokum, and it can be recommended warmly to anyone with a mental age of under twelve. The miniatures and special effects are the best that money can buy

Funny, it's hard to even judge this as a movie. I guess that should be considered a testament to the amount of people it touched. Definitely gets a big thumbs up from me, but I can never be sure how much of that is influenced by nostalgia. "Empire" on the other hand--I'm able to look at that one completely objectively--and recognize its greatness for what it is...and not what I remember it being. Big difference.

It's a classic of course, but I'm not as big into it as I am with Empire or Jedi. Definitely the weakest of the original trilogy.

What's there to say that hasn't been said a thousand times over? It's the beginning of the Holy Trilogy and a pop culture phenomenon. It introduced the memorable characters we all love, and brought a very human aspect to sci-fi. Visually stunning, with a score that's downright moving. The acting can get to be pretty horrible, but part of the blame lies with Lucas' writing. It doesn't make the movie any less fun.

One definition of an intellectual is someone who can hear the William Tell Overture and not think of the Lone Ranger. - It could be rephrased as listening to 20th Century Fox fanfare without thinking of Star Wars. Ground breaking, earth shattering film epic struggle that defined a generation. A must see film even if you hate it. Special effects were brilliant in their time and what a story !

Naming this anything short of a masterpiece in the sci-fi genre would be downright ludicrous. It's hard to believe George "can't-write-for-shit" Lucas is behind all this, but there you go. He no doubt by coincidence strikes gold and goes on to ridicule everone's memory of it 20 years later, but hey, what can you do. This film is still fantastic, and I don't want to hold Lucas' incompetence against it.
