Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill)--an impulsive but good hearted young man who lives on the dusty planet of Tatooine with his aunt and uncle--longs for the exciting life of a Rebel...
more...soldier. The rebels are fighting against the evil Empire, which has set about destroying planets inhabited by innocent citizens with the Death Star, a fearsome planet-like craft commanded by Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) and the eternally frightful Darth Vader (David Prowse, with the voice of James Earl Jones). When Luke's aunt and uncle are murdered by the Empire's imperial stormtroopers and he mysteriously finds a distress message from Princess Leia in one of his androids, R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), he must set out to find Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), a mysterious old hermit with incredible powers. On his journey, Luke is aided by the roguish, sarcastic mercenary Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his towering furry sidekick Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) as they run into a host of perilous situations while trying to rescue the princess--and the entire galaxy. STAR WARS--George Lucas' stunning sci-fi masterpiece—is an extremely inventive and entertaining film that garnered generations of loyal fans who are forever imprinted with the memory of its characters and dialogue. Magnificently referencing everything from Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI and THE HIDDEN FORTRESS to THE WIZARD OF OZ to John Ford Westerns and Joseph Campbell philosophies, STAR WARS revolutionised the cinematic world with its epic storytelling and amazing special effects. In addition to film veterans Guinness and Cushing, the movie also features an unforgettable performance from the young Ford, who would go on to become one of the biggest stars of the silver screen. Includes the original theatrical version of the film.

Review of Star Wars - Episode 4 - A New Hope (Limited Edition) (DVD) by clownfoot

Advantages: It's Star Wars!
Disadvantages: You're having a giraffe, right?

STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE 5 Stars - Genius! End of review. What? You need more? But what else is there to say about the starting point of George Lucas' behemoth franchise that hasn't already been said? Countless polls have already established that Darth Vader is the biggest bad arse ever to set foot on celluloid; the Star Destroyer thundering into view over Tattoine is one of cinema's greatest opening sequences; the Millennium Falcon is the coolest ...

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope!
Review of Star Wars - Episode 4 - A New Hope (Limited Edition) (DVD) by pmcds

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...mind as his masterpiece creation Star Wars was in the early stages of inception. In 1977, the film was released, under the title 'Star Wars', and people flocked to the cinema to settle down for what they hoped to be the next decent sci-fi flick. This is one of the places I would have loved to have been as John Williams' now legendary Star Wars theme tune orchestrated out in booming fashion to full cinemas across the world, heralding a new era in ...

...Introducing I'm a fan of Star Wars since I've watched this movie when I was about 4 years old (I'm 28). I remembered when I was to the cinema with my mum.

Review of Star Wars - Episode 4 - A New Hope (Limited Edition) (DVD) by chris15243

Advantages: Great action and cast
Disadvantages: Obi Wan Kenobi died

Ah, Star Wars, Anew Hope, what an amazing film. This is also in my top 5 movies. It was an amazingly thought out film. I mean, you haven't lived until you've seen star wars. At the beginning, a rebel ship containing Princess Leia is captured by Darth Vader. 2 droids, C3P0 and R2D2 escape. Only to be sold to Luke Skywalker. Who sets out on an adventure with Han Solo, Chewbacca and Obi Wan Kenobi. They set out to defeat the empire by joining the rebels. ... Read review

Episode IV - A New Hope on dvd
Review of Star Wars - Episode 4 - A New Hope (Limited Edition) (DVD) by spud1976

Advantages: Best of both worlds you get the original and the cleaned up version
Disadvantages: Still doesnt give you all the extras you want

Wow its taken many years after the VHS special edition came out but its been worth the wait. Not only do you get the reworked and polished film with the special effects cleaned up but you also get the original un molested cinema release. Two films for the price of one one for the purists who grew up with the film and love the models, and one for the new lovers who get so much CGI you would think Lucas owns the companies who did them ( he does btw ...
