(From IMDB) Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (originally released as plain Star Wars) is a 1977 space opera film, written and directed by George Lucas. I was 15 when I saw this movie for the first time and it had a huge impact on my life. My oldest two daughters never cared much for Star Wars, but my 16 year old has developed my same fascination with this classic film.Star Wars is the first of six films released in the Star Wars saga: two subsequent films continue the Luke, Leia and Han story arc - The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The newest trilogy contributes backstory to the first trilogy, primarily focusing on the troubled character of Darth Vader. Ground-breaking in its use of special effects, this first Star Wars movie is one of the most successful films of all time and is generally considered one of the most influential as well.
Set in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars tells the story of a plot by a group of freedom fighters known as the Rebel Alliance to destroy the flagship space station/weapon of the oppressive Galactic Empire. The plot follows the tale of farm boy Luke Skywalker who is suddenly thrust into the role of hero when he inadvertently acquires the robots - C3PO and R2D2 - carrying the schematic plans of the station. He must accompany retired military general and rebel sympathizer Obi-Wan Kenobi on a mission to rescue the owner of the robots, rebel leader Princess Leia Organa, deliver the plans to the rebels' secret base, and help destroy the station before it reaches and destroys the rebel base. Luke and Obi-Wan join forces with space cowboy, Han Solo, to try and rescue Princess Leia and save the universe.
Cool, crisp autumn afternoons are the perfect time to curl up on the couch under a fuzzy blanket with a huge bowl of popcorn and get lost in the world that is Star Wars.
