Ok, so, I wasn't going to review this one. It's a huge phenomena, but it certainly fits within the cult genre, despite it's global popularity.
Plot: There's this kid (Mark Hamill), his names Luke and he doesn't like being a moisture farmer or whatever and dreams of a day when he will become 'someone', anyone. Well, that day comes when his uncle buys a couple of errant robots from some midgets in a rusty van and there's a message with a hologram of a hot chick inside. What's a teenager to do but follow?!
So he hops in his floating land-speeder thing and goes to visit a crusty old man (Alec Guinness) in the desert (cos the chick wants him to-most kids are taught not do this, but it's space, so I guess it's ok) and learns how to swing a laser sword around (as you do). Then they bugger off to a pub, hire a spaceship from a bloke in a waistcoat (possibly the waiter), infiltrate a metal moon (run by Hammer Horror legend-Peter Cushing), rescue the chick (Carrie Fisher) and subsequently the film ends.
All the while model spaceships explode and John Williams makes beautiful music throughout, ahhhh.
Budget: $11,000,000
Gross: $755,398,007... and counting
Fun Fact: Na, if you've seen this film, you've googled it and if you've googled it, you know more than enough.
