Star Wars - Dazzled Me in 1977, Still Dazzling Me Now
When I was a young lass of 11, Star Wars was released to the world. Those of you who know me and have read my reviews probably are figuring that I am a sci-fi geek-ette anyway so of course I headed out to see it.
You are wrong.
For months my parents bribed, begged, cajoled and...

My 200th Epinion Began Long, Long Ago....
I saw first saw this when I was 4 years old. Somewhat impressionable age, right? Well, that first moviegoing experience (the first movie I remember seeing in the theatre) broke something in my soft little skull that made me LOVE Star Wars. I became a horrid little monster who ate, drank, slept, and... Read full review »
Star Wars: Belief Without Sight
Ever since Star Wars was originally released in the movie theaters decades ago, it has been one of my all-time favorite movies. Perhaps the main reason for this is that the idea of a "Force" that can not be seen but controls everything sound a bit like my belief in God controlling everything in our... Read full review »

Star Wars (1977)
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
I watched Star Wars for the first time in a movie theater in 1977 and remember thinking - how far movies have sunk since the great old movies made under the old Star system. As an epic, there were several I could think...

After More Than Three Decades, the Force is Still With Us
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a young kid threw off the shackles of his everyday existence and took his first steps into a larger world. I'm not talking about Luke Skywalker, however, instead I'm talking about, well, me. The "long time ago", of course, was May 25th, 1977, and the... Read full review »
Star Wars - a saga, and a merchandising empire, begin...
This isn't going to quite be a normal film review because after all what would be the point of yet another film review of a film most people have seen several times and that's been reviewed so many times already? So I'm going to do something slightly different here…
Over the years I...

Star Wars: A Timeless Sci-Fi Classic
When I went to see The Phantom Menace in 1999, I was instantly reminded of the brilliance of the 1977 original. I was in the theater; the movie opened with the now legendary tagline: “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away …” and there was an instant cheer of appreciation. That such a simple...

A Lean-N-Mean remake of a Kurosawa classic
George Lucas's most famous work to date would have to be on the directors Star Wars saga, a series of films that has permeated popular culture to produce a fan base so devout it has literally become a religion to some. However why is this? Honestly, I don't know, other than the simple fact that... Read full review »
Embedded in American Pop Culture
You can't swing a dead Wookie without hitting something that exists as the direct result of Star Wars. Very few American films, as this one did, have helped shape an entire culture--or would want to.
In case you've been stuck on Tatooine most of your life, Star Wars is the coming-of-age...

Star Wars - Episode IV, A New Hope (Special Edition) [VHS]
Again? Yes. Even though no other movie has been released as many times on video as Star Wars (except for its sequels, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi), George Lucas and the folks at 20th Century Fox have actually released a slightly different film this time. This video followed the mega-successful 20th-anniversary theatrical rerelease, in which Lucas personally remastered the image and sound quality of his baby. Other revisions are more obvious, if hardly radical. Lucas enhanced several special effects with updated computer technology--most noticeable are the explosions and removal of matte lines during the Death Star battle finale. And the creatures that populate Mos Eisley's spaceport-- though meticulous--are aesthetically superior improvements. The inclusion of extra scenes (originally outtakes), however, is not an improvement. Both the meeting between Jabba the Hutt and Han Solo, and Luke talking with his childhood pal Biggs, do nothing to enhance character development or theme, and serve only as distractions that preoccupy the waiting viewer. And, really couldn't Lucas find something better to do with his time than mess around with a national treasure? As for the video, this boasts both visual and sound enhancements. But since Star Wars has been available with these tweaks numerous times before, the decision whether to purchase this latest new version depends on how badly you want to see Lucas's cosmetic surgery. --Dave McCoy
