How would you rate ANH?

I gave ANH a 7. I thought it was good. But it wasn't my favourite.

Gave it a 9 it was the first one it was amazing, would like to see em redo Ben vs Vader tho, and the space battle at the end coulda been a bit more epic, i mean come on is the empire really gonna leave the death star defenseless no capitol ships anywhere i dont thinks so

Ya what strikes me is that at the end of ROTS they see the deathstar being built. But they don't get it operational until 20 years later. Then when they build the second one they get it operational before it is built. Anyone else notice that? haha I though ANH lightsaber battle could have been way more intense but their rods kept breaking. haha

if you wikipedia the deathstar it says that ( and i believe this is canon) that first death star was delayed for a few years because of something taking place on Kessel and that its becoming operational was delayed,

So what it would've taken 18 years instead??? hahahaha I didn't like how there was an imperial senate. I mean if they made ANH now. After ROTS then vader and palpatine would've been ruling and would need no senate.

well about half way into the movie they did say that Palpatine dissolved the senate and replaced them all with local governors so they were gone, probly just had to strengthen his empire before he could get rid of the senate entirely, i mean you need some support before you make a rash move like that

Ya that is true. Governor Tarkin I think his name was. He like controlled Vader. It was even said in a commentary or something that Vader wasn't top dog that Tarkin was about the same rank as Vader. With Palpatine being highest.

I had to give ANH a 10.
I was four or five when I first saw it circa '77 so for me, and expect many others, the nostalgia factor alone is worth top marks.
I think it deserves high praise in it's own right though. It introduced us all to some iconic characters, who have since become household names, it broke new ground with special fx, and gave us the idea of the 'used galaxy'.
Love it love it love it want the opening crawl carved on my gravestone.

Yes, that was Tarkin. When I saw ROTS at the theater with my parents my mom asked how they got Peter Cushing in the movie.  :D

I voted 9. It's a great movie, but not perfect. The beginning drags on for awhile before something happens, but the story was told so well. The Death Star battle was great, I do hope they work on the Vader/Obi-Wan duel.

Years ago I would have rated it 10, but nowadays I would give 9. It's a real classic  :)

The only part that I didn't like is the ending. My favourite was the beginning, showing tatooine, showing luke and the droids. It was all were the adventure took place. The deathstar was cool because of the garbage disposal. haha
