This is THE movie that turned me in to a movie freak. I have very clear memories of seeing this. It was before they cut all the theatres in the old Showcase Orange in half. We sat in the middle about half way back. I saw it 3 more times that summer. What a ride.

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Elaborate, imaginative update of Flash Gordon incredibly became one of the most popular films of all time. It's a hip homage to B-movie ethics and heroism in the space age, as a callow youth (Hamill) becomes an interplanetary hero with the help of some human and robot friends. R2D2 and C-3P0 steal the show. Won seven Oscars for various technical achievements and John Williams' rousing score. Full title onscreen (on re-release prints) is STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE Followed by THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI. Special Edition released in 1997 features souped-up special effects and about 4m. of new footage. Panavision.
