    Endlessly imitated but never rivalled, this first instalment of George Lucas's space opera dresses up the timeless tale of good versus evil with ground-breaking special effects and a dazzling array of intergalactic characters. Mark Hamill plays Luke Skywalker, whose dull life on a remote planet is thrown into chaos when he intercepts a distress call from beleaguered Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). With robots R2-D2 and C-3PO in tow, Skywalker teams up with an ageing Jedi warrior (Alec Guinness) and a cynical space rogue (a star-making turn from Harrison Ford) to rescue Leia from the clutches of the evil Darth Vader. Breathless action collides with sci-fi theatrics and more than a hint of mysticism to create a new style of cinema that remains unmatched for sheer entertainment value.

    An evolving classic

    It has become fashionable to knock George Lucas. The prequels (Phantom Menace & Attack of the Clones) rarely get a fair review as they had impossible expectations to overcome. These reissues, rather than remind us of George?s genius, have aroused many fans antipathy - he?s tampered with them again (even sneaking in the new Anakin Skywalker at the end of the Jedi). But despite the flaws (e.g a lot of dodgy acting and dialogue, cutesy simplicity etc.) these films are magnificent, still evolving classics. Personally, I love the digital upgrade, the larger vistas, sweeping cityscapes and tidied up special effects. The extras come from behind the scenes and charter a cultural phenomena that changed movies for ever. But don?t rent it, buy it!

    Farmboy Luke Skywalker begins an apparently simple trip to find old hermit Ben Kenobi, but is suddenly hurled headlong into a breakneck adventure in the company of roguish pirate Han Solo, frosty princess Leia Organa and two robots (who have really seen better times), battling to free the galaxy from the tyrannical grip of the evil Empire, personified in the terrifying nemesis of Darth Vader. Technically Episode IV, this is the epic, sci-fi film that began an incredible cinema saga, and changed the face of movie-making forever...

    Star Wars is best sci-fi film

    • 22 May 2009

    The original Star Wars film has topped a new online poll to find the best science fiction movie of all time.

Battlefield Earth, the 2000 John Travolta film about a group of humans fighting extinction by a race of aliens, was voted... Read more
