It's worth your time to watch it, just a bit less so than its first sequel and later works like 'The Matrix' and 'Serenity'. It looks really good, especially for 1977, though seeing as I had to watch the remastered version, the CGI sticks out pretty clearly. There's going into space, two protagonists who are more like us than we want to admit, and of course, what nearly everyone wants to do: saving the world. Luke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the. (Even if the movie was being funded by a then-dying studio, that's no excuse to disregard that old rule 'show, don't tell'.) Having said that, I can see why this flick is so beloved. (That honour I reserve for 'The Empire Strikes Back'.) While the action is pretty thrilling, it also takes a while to get off the ground (no pun intended), which may have something to do with how heavy it is on the exposition, especially with the opening crawl. Yes, this is a good movie, but not QUITE the classic I'd always been conditioned to expect.
