Review Star Wars: A New Hope star wars history

The classic yellow signs put us a little situation. A situation of absolute tyranny throughout the galaxy, which is contrary to a group of rebels. From the outset, the rebels are the good and the Imperials are the bad guys. We are in the most basic ground saga of adventure, without any complex or less around it. The yellow letters are lost in space, is a classic pan until you find a planet in the first place, and we witness the first of many galactic battles. A ship trying to break out of another much bigger than she, who is now engulfing, so to speak.

But before we know the characters first, which are two droids (the famous C3PO and R2D2), the first to speak. The high and gold is a whiner and a crybaby, while his companion softly speaks a language incomprehensible binary, even though it is explicit in his emotions. As the imperial troops entering the small ship, it unleashes a laser battle. The rebels have to lose, and the smoke of the fire emerged a huge, dark figure with a strange helmet and long coat. It is impossible to imagine how it must have been receiving these images in the public, that distant summer of 1977.

The first and most important off these initial images are its simplicity and shamelessness, his absolute dedication to the primary adventure. Thus, the old archetypes (the evil oppressor, the courageous princess, comic supporting) operate with rare classical purity. There is, for now, psychological depth. The interior designs of the technological structures are superb, although an air collecting in the characterizations seventies and in some lighting resources. It is impossible to evade the initial influence of '2001, A Space Odyssey 'on certain shots.

Carrie Fisher Leia Organa nailed to each verbal confrontation with Vader, but the limited Lucas' direction of actors (which will not improve with age) contains little interpretive capacity. Lucas gives much better editing and planning, which are excellent. . And as a writer in no hurry to go telling events: the droids go to Tatooine and after a long discussion, they separate. The curtains of different formats start to show up to move from one stream to another. Anyway, both droids are handed out to the Jawas, who are dedicated to sell to third parties. The fate, or providence, or force, determined to end up in the hands of the Skywalker family.

The truth is that all this initial block is quite slow. We observe in detail the droids travel companions C3PO and R2D2, and even began to fear for his fate. We know, yes, finally, to Skywalker, and the beautiful song that we hear about Beru calls his nephew ("Luke?") And he identifies as the atypical protagonist of the story. Luke is an orphan boy apparently dreamer bored with life on the farm with his uncles, who expects more of life to rot in the desert. The often maligned Mark Hamill nailed to this adolescent melancholy, which was his debut film. We can see with vivid clarity his loneliness and frustration of youth.

With its nearly all-white outfit, and his appearance had not broken a dish in his life, Luke is the perfect "nobody" has to show what is special in it, because it really is a "diamond in the rough . It is very beautiful, well, how Lucas joins Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi, with dialogue that the former has to his uncle Owen Lars, in speaking of the mysterious hermit who lived on Tatooine. Furthermore, it is named for the first Luke's father once, in a tremendously clever and mysterious, but perhaps for the umpteenth time his uncle Luke spared any information on them.

What more expressive image exists of the need to make our own destiny, that famous moment in which Luke, weary of his life, watching the twin suns of Tatooine? By looking at both soles, Luke no doubt try to find out what done to change your life, which is the key to the three original films.

But once again, R2D2 will be essential to advance the story, and as is obsessed with finding the one he believes is their owner (Kenobi), facilitates the meeting of this with Luke to escape. And Lucas knows how to electrify the action, with the appearance of the Sand People, Grimes creatures who hit a good scare to Luke (and the viewer), and are frightened by Obi-Wan very clever, because for frighten mimics the sound and appearance (at least distant) of a huge desert creature that barely saw the skeleton above.

Marking actors Lucas (his orders in regard to movement and physicality of the actors) proves once again awkward, and even an actor in the experience of Alec Guinness in the presentation of his character, turn the head first and then the hood is removed, when the logic would have been the wrong way or at the same time. But Guinness, one of the best performers of his generation, is always off and a little charismatic as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Years later, would deny the role, even calling him stupid. By the way, that the meeting between Kenobi and Skywalker is nonsense about the end of Episode III, which leaves the baby Luke Kenobi in the hands of Lars.

It also makes no sense not to recognize R2D2, with many running adventures in his youth, is that Lucas was extremely inconsistent in many details by joining the episode III and IV.  It is nonsense to want to tell that I had everything thought out in advance, when viewed in the gesture of Guinness that he has no idea who Luke and what has come to do there. Were not they supposed had been Kenobi Skywalker care? Well, that's life. Let us focus on this film. It could have done more interesting the investigation of the old Ben Kenobi Obi-Wan Kenobi, but did not seem so difficult.

  It's great dialogue sequence hermit's house, how Kenobi tells Luke about his father and gives him his old lightsaber. It is clear (ie yes ...) Obi-Wan Luke lies when he tells how his father died, and it's very exciting when she finally tells him about the Force, Luke manages concept with complete familiarity, as if his life had been a jedi. So, it is natural that Luke Kenobi asked to accompany him on his crusade to save the princess. And, like so many heroes, when they finally give you the opportunity to change your life, do not you dare, and initially refuses to go with him.

Then finally know the Death Star, which sends a servant of the emperor, the Grand Moff Tarkin, played with great flair by the unforgettable interpreter Peter Cushing, also British and the same generation as Alec Guinness. At his side, Darth Vader is little more than a lackey brutal, but seems to enjoy a range enough to stifle his subordinates. The dialogue on the power of that space station affects the tone semi-medieval, religious and literary classic as the ears of the spectators. But back to Luke, who discovers that the imperial soldiers, searching for the droids, have swept the Jawas and the same cabin in the Lars. And the homage to 'The Searchers' is evident, and he ends the first act of the film and begin the second.
