story about growing up, friendship, and good against evil.
Audiences will especially like the exciting chase scenes,
shootouts, and Darth Vader, who is one of the greatest movie
villains of all time. This movie is spectacular!
A New, Old Hit
Star Wars is back and better than ever. .. sort of. Yes, the
soundtrack is clearer, but it's also louder. Yes, there are some
new characters, but the old ones seem a little silly now. Even
though it's a fun movie, and I liked it the first time I saw it, I
expected this to be so much better. Maybe George Lucas should
have made an entirely new movie.
“What Junk!”
Why did George Lucas spend his money and time on a tired old
movie? There is a scene where Luke Sky walker, the hero, is
rushing" to the spaceship that will take him on his journey to
save a princess, some robots, and, oh yes, the universe. When
Luke sees the old spaceship, he exclaims, "What a piece of
junk!" I knew exactly how he felt. This movie is just that, a
piece of junk.
