Star Wars: A New Hope (1976)
Three decades on from the first Star Wars, the Force is with us once again in The Clone Wars. That's as good an excuse as any to run through the finest sci-fi saga in this or any other galaxy...
What reads on paper like a straightforward fairy tale – farm-boy hero flies into space to rescue a beautiful princess – became an international phenomenon thanks to some then-astounding special effects, a fresh-faced cast of gifted unknowns and the comprehensive detail with which director George Lucas sketched his galaxy far, far away.
