Okay so this week for my film review I have decided to review both an all time classic and one of my favourite movies ever. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. So just to be clear I'm going to review this film as if we knew nothing about these characters (even though I do) the reason for this is because I find the film to be more entertaining when you go into it without an any prior knowledge of the series which is exactly the way everyone who say the film upon release would have been. Now without further a due I bring you my review of Star Wars.
So Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope or Star Wars (Which is what it was called upon its release) is the forth chapter in the continuing Star Wars saga and was also the first film released. In this film we find our young hero named Luke Skywalker on a farm in the middle of nowhere in the universe. His life is dull and he craves adventure which is deprived of him until he stumbles upon two droids who are carrying vital information for a band of rebels fighting against the evil galactic empire. This eventually leads to Luke meeting my personal favourite Star Wars character Obi Wan Kenobi. Obi Wan or Ben Kenobi was a Jedi knight of the republic, they kept peace in the galaxy in the time before the empire came to power. Obi Wan tells Luke of how his father was a good friend of his and eventually the two leave the boring old planet to try and bring the droids to the rebels. But to get to the rebels they need a ship which is where Han Solo and Chewbacca two of the films most beloved characters come in. Together they set out for the planet of Alderan where the rebel base is supposed to be. This leads to them getting caught by the empire and having to navigate their way out of the dreaded Death Star where Princess Leia one of the leaders of the rebels is being held captive. Here is where I will end my review of the film so as not to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen the movie (If you haven't get on it). The movie overall is fantastic and is one of cinemas all time greats. It has great heroes and even better villains with the evil Grand Moff Tarkin and the powerful Darth Vader. The film does lack slightly in the acting department but nothing substantial that holds the film back. Overall this is a must see movie for anyone in the world!
