Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope - (Lucas;1977;USA) - ****
The Jedi are now believed to be extinct just as the Sith used to be. The empire kidnaps Princess Leia to find a hidden rebel base, and her rescue depends on Obi-Wan, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewie, and two droids.
A classic Sci-Fi film that has an excellent story from Lucas. Although Lucas isn't a good writer dialogue-wise, there are some great quotes. Guinness' acting is supreme in this film and the whole entertainment value is immense. Although I think Empire is greater, this is a very close second. Definitely the greatest Sci-Fi/Fantasy series ever.
