9.5/10
I could write an essay on why this is one of the best films of all time, but I'd rather keep it short. As with many people, this was the first Star Wars movie I saw. It quite possibly changed my life, that's how important it is.
From the opening with the music taking you straight into the action as a Star Destroyer is chasing down the Rebel ship, to the final scenes after the Death Star has been destroyed, there's not a bad moment in between.
The characters are all simply brilliant. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca. They're some of the most instantly recognisable names in the history of cinema, and I don't really see the point in saying much more than that.
So why only 9.5/10 if I can't fault it? Well, I've got to leave somewhere to go...
