Peary (ever the &#8217;70s liberal!) accurately argues that the film unfortunately &#8220;makes war look like fun&#8221;, and that the characters are, regrettably, designed to be shallow &#8212; Mark Hamill is particularly annoying as callow, whiny Luke Skywalker (though it could be argued that he&#8217;s well-suited for the role). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-63433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-128x53.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-1536x640.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-2048x853.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Star-Wars-Hamill-604x252.jpg 604w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sophisticated modern viewers seeing <em>Star Wars<\/em> for the first time may actually wonder what all the fuss is about, given that much of it comes across today as either campy (i.e., the infamous &#8220;cantina scene&#8221;) or dated, and the special effects &#8212; while revolutionary at the time, and still largely impressive &#8212; have since been surpassed.  <\/p>\n<p>With that said, the film is, as Peary notes, both &#8220;craftily made&#8221;, and (with the possible exception of Hamill as Skywalker) &#8220;brilliantly cast&#8221;, effectively balancing veteran and young actors. It deservedly won a passel of Oscars: for special effects (the final battle sequence &#8212; while it goes on for too long &#8212; is especially well done), costume design, sound effects, art direction, editing, and best original score (by John Williams). Harrison Ford is hunky and memorable in his breakthrough role as Han Solo; Carrie Fisher (only 17 years old!) is effectively spunky as Princess Leia (those buns!); and Alec Guinness couldn&#8217;t have been better cast as the &#8220;wise and noble Jedi warrior Ben &#8216;Obi-Wan&#8217; Kenobi&#8221;. Film fanatics, regardless of their personal connection with the movie, will doubtless agree that its &#8220;tremendous spirit, sense of fun and adventure, excitement, hip humor, imaginative characters, and fast-paced, uncomplicated story&#8221; deservedly &#8220;touched a universal nerve&#8221;, and that <em>Star Wars<\/em> remains indispensable &#8220;must see&#8221; viewing. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Harrison Ford as Han Solo<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-harrison-ford.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-harrison-ford.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9349\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Alec Guinness as Obi Wan<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-guinness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-guinness.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9351\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-princess-leia.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-princess-leia.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9350\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>C3PO (Anthony Daniels) and R2D2 (Kenny Baker)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-c3po-r2d2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-c3po-r2d2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9352\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Memorable sets<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-sets.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-sets.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9353\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Groundbreaking special effects<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-special-effects.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/star-wars-special-effects.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9354\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>John Williams&#8217; rousing score<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nOf course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cult Movie<\/li>\n<li>Historically Relevant<\/li>\n<li>Oscar Winner or Nominee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> (<span style=\"color:red;font-weight:bold;\">Listed in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-static\/1001Movies.htm\"><em>1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die<\/em><\/a><\/span>) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0076759\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/movies2.nytimes.com\/books\/97\/08\/24\/reviews\/guinness-starwars.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/star-wars-1977\">Roger Ebert&#8217;s &#8220;Greatest Films&#8221; Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reelviews.net\/php_review_template.php?identifier=38\">ReelViews Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.qnetwork.com\/index.php?page=review&#038;id=767\">Q Network Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/movies\/star-wars\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The force will be with you, always.&#8221; Synopsis: In a galaxy far, far away, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) joins the rebellion against the Empire by teaming up with Jedi master Obi-Wan Kanobi (Alec Guinness) and rogue pilot Han Solo (Harrison Ford) to rescue kidnapped Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from the clutches of evil Darth Vader (David Prowse\/James Earl Jones).
