Star Wars: Episode IV A New
Hope PG
The first Star Wars was a brilliant
movie, a cold war in space adventure, with samauri Jedi guys carrying light
sabers, blaster wielding cowboy scruffy guys, Han Solo and Chewy, wacky robots,
and Luke and Liea, and Obi Wan. The infamous Darth Vader is legendary. Vader is
looking for droids thart hold plans to his new planet busting Death Star, the
coolest bad guy weapon ever. Can the rebels defeat him? Are you kidding? The
Falcon can make the Cessel run in 30 parsecs, so why not? (Just don't tell them
that a parsec is 3.6 light years, and a light year is a distance of measure,
not time it takes for someone to get from a point to another). Beep beep. The boy Luke goes on a quest to find himself, mentored by an ancient samurai like master, and becomes a fighter pilot in a rebellion to take back the stars from an imposing evil force. Blend of several archetypes of fiction and literature, the first movie puts them in a space setting, as it was back in 1977, and thus the series if a red headed step sibling to earlier space western...Star Trek, in a way.
