Star Wars is undoubtedly the best sci-fi and action/adventure movie I've seen in my life, especially in the 70s. I remember when I was 10 and I got interested in the Star Wars series, and we rented the DVD from Hollywood Video. This movie is about a farm boy named Luke Skywalker, who receives a message from Princess Leia, and now, he must team up with his Rebel friends Han Solo and Chewbacca the Wookiee to rescue the princess and destroy the Death Star. Do you what's really funny about Star Wars? This was the first episode to come out in theatres, but the text scroll says "Episode 4". But other than that, Star Wars is a movie that you would want to watch again and again.
An adventure story, replacing six-shooters or swords with laser guns and horses with rockers

The film turn on the endlessly renewed battle between good and evil, the former represented by the Jedi knights and the mystical Force which they are in touch with, and the latter by the Galactic Empire with its Nazi-like storm-troopers
