A New Hope
The movie that started it all, and one of the most beloved fantasy-science fiction movies of all time. Laying down a critique on this classic is not going to be easy. But I’ll try … Set a number of years following the down beat ending of Episode III, we are reunited with droid buddies C3PO and R2D2 aboard a star ship when it is attacked by an imperial battle ship, lead by Darth Vader. Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) is taken captive but not before she can store secret plans inside R2, who along with his golden buddy escape to the desert planet of Tatooine. Soon they come into the possession of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) who discovers the Princess’ message and quickly seeks out Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) who turns Luke’s humble farm boy life upside down and promises to train him in the ways of The Force.
