The Jedi Knights have been exterminated and the Empire rules the galaxy with an iron fist. A small group of Rebels have dared to fight back by stealing the secret plans to the Empire's mightiest weapon, the Death Star battle station. The Emperor's most trusted servant, Darth Vader, must find the plans, and locate the hidden Rebel base. Princess Leia, a captive Rebel leader, sends out a distress signal that is intercepted by a simple farm boy, Luke Skywalker. Seizing his destiny, Luke takes up the challenge to rescue the princess and help the Rebellion overthrow the Empire, along with such unforgetable alies as the wise Obi-Wan Kenobi, the cocky Han Solo, the loyal Chewbacca, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO.
A fantastic movie and truly one of the best sci-fi movies ever. A terrific cast starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Alec Guinness. My 4th favorite film of the saga but this was probably the most I've enjoyed it (probably due to the fact that I've been watching Episode III a lot at work lately) [/b]
Great Review Irish, but I am almost afraid to ask. What are the three films that you rank above "A New Hope" and what are two that you rank behind?
