From the opening of the movie with the giant star destroyer filling the screen to the fast-paced editing during the ending, this movie blew me away. Even seeing it now, my mind is taken back to that theater on a hot summer afternoon in 1977. The theater is long gone now and I’m quite a bit older but whenever I watch Star Wars, I’m 14 again and feel like I’m seeing it for the first time. For a movie to have that affect 30 years later and to stir up long forgotten memories means it is truly something special.
