Surprising to me, the cinematography and special effects have held up all this time. Secondly there is Darth Vader, who is the optometry of cool, scathing evil who poses as the ultimate villain. The particular stand outs in this respect I feel are: Han Solo, the wise cracking bounty hunter with a tendency for arrogance that makes every scene as entertaining as possible. Each of the characters in this film are so well developed and so interesting that you just cannot wait for the next scene with them in it, the interactions between the characters us at times tense and at times downright hilarious, leaving no room for boring or lacking dialogue. Star Wars is simply a fantastic film, on every level this film is amazing.
