Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough, he told me you killed him!
Vader: No Luke, I am your father.
Luke: NO! THATS NOT TRUE! THATS IMPOSSIBLE!!!

OH MY GOD when vader told luke he was his father i nearly shat myself

Star Wars, ahhh!

I'm looking forward to the next two coming out. Let's just hope that they are really excellent films, even if they are being produced by Disney.

By far the best Star Wars films, I would even consider it to be 'romantic' at times. The final scene where they stare out at the galaxy and there's so much uncertainty remaining is one of my favorite scenes in any movie.

not quite as good as a new hope but still very good.

very deep for a star wars movie and its one of my favirotes i suggest seeing it and OBSESSING OVER IT!!! the lightsaber fight is gutwrenchingly intense and so is everything else! oh and yoda is my homeboy!

This movie is undoubtedly the best Star Wars movie. It was a very different story for its time because the villains were the ones that were winning throughout the movie. Even though I was born in 1980 I was one of the lucky few from my generation that didn't know Vader was Luke's father. This movie greatly improved upon the characters. Darth Vader was at his peak in this film. It expanded the universe and showed us what fragile condition the Rebellion was in at the time. I liked the introduction to Yoda. I believe that the story about Luke learning to become a Jedi was a great idea. He wasn't a superhuman character that could do no wrong. He made some very big mistakes. This made the character seem more real. He was making decisions that most of the audience members would have made. It put us in Luke's position. We wanted him to win so bad; however, we were as uncertain as he was. This movie introduced some great characters as well. The bounty hunter Boba Fett(Back when he was cool, before the prequels), Yoda, and the Emperor. The special effects were top notch for its time. The asteroid field was a great edge or your seat action scene. The super star destroyer was extremely awe inspiring. Even though the Imperial Walkers were very impractical, I didn't care one bit because they were extremely well done and conveyed a sense of fear and dread that the Rebel soldiers must have felt. I believe that this movie also has the best lightsaber duel of all the movies. Not because of the fight choreography, but because of the character's emotional involvement and what was at stake. Because the movie made us care about the characters and what happened to them...we understood the importance and the effects of Luke winning or losing the fight. Classic story and a great science fiction masterpiece!

PERFECTION !! THE BEST FILM EVER!

One word. Awesomeness. This movie revolutionized films. With he lines "Luck I am your Father" how can this movie be anything else than perfect? Stunning visuals and great climactic fight scenes this movie has it all. A true classic.
