Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope aka Star Wars

In 1977 the iconic Star Wars written and directed by George Lucas set a new bar for science fiction. It created a new culture and it was a metaphor for life. A balance between good and evil - a balance between those who wear white and those who wear black. Audiences wouldn't know for years and another movie that the main character Luke was the son of a Princess, had a twin sister, and had a father that went to the dark side. Hamill (Turbo) was Luke, Fisher (When Harry Met Sally) was Leia, Ford (Indiana Jones 5 - announced this year) was Han Solo, and the voice of Darth Vader was done by James Earl Jones..Kids everywhere including me collected figures, fighters, and loved R2-D2 and C-3PO.  All in all, I say: SEE IT. I saw it around 1978 or 1979 at a drive-in with my parents.
