STAR WARS: EPISODE IV-A NEW HOPE (Theatrical Release USA 1977)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì 

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope—WOW! Bravo!—completely fulfills expectations for movie entertainment as it expands on the Luke Skywalker story, his involvement with Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Character development has been exceptionally well done and intertwines with a very welcome portrayal of story. A nice spin-off to this story is the Ron Howard movie Solo: A Star Wars Story that explores the relationship between Han Solo and Chewbacca for audiences who just cannot get enough of the Star War mystique.
