Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was originally released in 1977 as just Star Wars. It is an epic¹ science fiction film, written and directed by George Lucas. It is the first of six films released in the Star Wars saga²: two subsequent films complete the original trilogy, while a prequel trilogy completes the six-film saga. It is the fourth film in terms of the series' storyline history. It was groundbreaking when it was released for its use of special effects and science fiction/fantasy storytelling. It is one of the most successful and influential³ films of all time. The American Film Institute's list of best scores lists the Star Wars soundtrack at number one. When adjusted for inflation, it is the second-highest grossing film ever.

 

The movie is set "a long time ago in a galaxy⁴ far, far away". It follows a group of freedom fighters known as the Rebel Alliance who set out to destroy the powerful Death Star space station. This is a devastating⁵ weapon created by the evil Galactic Empire. The hero is a farm boy called Luke Skywalker (played by Mark Hamill). He comes across robot droids carrying the stolen plans to the Death Star. After the Empire begins a destructive search for the droids, Skywalker decides to accompany Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on a daring mission to rescue the owner of the droids, rebel leader Princess Leia, and save the galaxy. On the way, we are entertained by a whole variety of weird⁶ and wonderful space creatures.
