Star Wars Episode Four: A New Hope

Many years have passed since the tragic ending of Episode Three. Luke Skywalker has grown up on the planet Tatooine with his father's step-brother, whom he calls 'Uncle Owen'. Leia has grown up on the planet of Alderaan, where she has been raised in a royal family. In a twisted series of events, Luke happens upon C-3PO and R2-D2, two droids who were in the thre previous episodes. R2 is carrying a message from Princess Leia and Luke accidentally finds it. The message was actually intended for a hermit named Obi-Wan Kenobi (who we know already). Luke goes and finds Obi-Wan, and together, they travel across the galaxy in the 'Millenium Falcon' (captained by Han Solo and his assistant, Chewbacca) to save the princess.

When they reach her home planet, however, they find that it has been destroyed by the Death Star, the Empire's new super-weapon. They accidentally come across the Death Star, rescue the princess, and high0tail it on out of there to warn the Rebel Alliance of the impending doom that is soon to befall them.

And all the while...Luke and Leia still do not know that they are indeed twins.

There's more to the plot, but you need to watch it to find out!!!

Four stars. Considering that this was the first movie released, I give it a lot of credit. The creativity is amazing, and the special effects stink but they were way ahead of their time. The acting does need work, though -- but I must say it's not even close to the catestrophic acting in Episodes 1-3.
