Outside of a few films like John Carpenter’s Darkstar, these imagined realities tended to be pristine, shiny and generally fantastical. Stars: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guinnessīefore Star Wars, science fiction inhabited a vastly different cinematic landscape. Take note, Warner Bros., and anyone else driven by the need to inject a comic book property with “grit” and “realism.” (Please.) -Michael Burgin (And there’s that little aside from Edna Mode regarding capes and the crusaders undone by them.)

A colorful array of bounty hunters is assembled. The petty squabbles of the Imperial Navy and its never-ending parade of dead officers give us a glimpse into the structure of the enemy.

His Dagobah scenes with Yoda are heavy with omens and portent never in the series do the arcane mysteries of the Force feel as compelling as they do while Luke levitates rocks and digests philosophy. Every character undergoes positive growth: Leia (Carrie Fisher) moves from “princess” figurehead to military commander and tireless organizer of a resistance Han (Harrison Ford) has become a leader of men, completing the transition he began when returning to help destroy the Death Star in A lion New Hope and Luke (Mark Hamill) finally starts down the path to becoming a Jedi in earnest.
It gives flesh to the idea of the “Rebel Alliance,” showing us how this ragtag band of freedom fighters operates while slowly winning the ideological battle and drawing more support to their cause.
