Episode IV (but the first one released) of the not-yet-completed Star Wars series is excellently thrilling and wholly entertaining! Luke Skywalker, a farm kid from a distance planet is called by Obi-Wan Kanobi to join the Rebels in resisting the all-powerful Empire. The relatively weak Rebel army has little chance against the Empire, except they have the white side of the Force on their side! Androids, R2-D2 and C3PO are the most famous and lovable robots in the world; this film turned Harrison Ford into a superstar, and Star Wars itself turned into the most popular movie of all time. A must see!
