| Empire Strikes Back | 1980 | George Lucas | George Lucas | Smashing sequel to STAR WARS manages to top the original in its embellishment of leading characters' personalities, truly dazzling special effects (which earned a special Oscar) and nonstop spirit of adventure and excitement. (It does assume you've seen the first film.) Story threads include a blossoming romance between Han Solo and Princess Leia, the cosmic education of Luke Skywalker (by the mystical Yoda), an uneasy alliance with opportunistic Lando Calrissian, and a startling revelation from Darth Vader. Sequel: RETURN OF THE JEDI. Panavision. US (1977): Science Fiction CineBooks' Motion Picture Guide Review: 5.0 stars out of 5 |
| Return of the Jedi | 1983 | George Lucas | George Lucas | Leonard Maltin Review: 3.5 stars out of 4 133 min, Rated PG, Color, Available on videocassette and laserdisc Third installment in the STAR WARS saga is a sheer delight, following the destiny of Luke Skywalker as his comrades reunite to combat a powerful Deathstar. Some lazy performances are compensated for by ingenious new characters and Oscar-winning special effects. More sentimental and episodic than its predecessors (and probably incomprehensible if you haven't seen them both)�but carried out in the best tradition of Saturday matinee serials, from which it draws its inspiration. Followed by two Ewok adventures for TV. J-D-C Scope. |
| Star Wars | 1977 | George Lucas | George Lucas | Leonard Maltin Review: 3.5 stars out of 4 121 min, Rated PG, Color, Available on videocassette and laserdisc 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-3PO steal the show. Won seven Oscars for various technical achievements and John Williams' rousing score. Followed by THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI. Panavision. |
