The content of this film is roughly like this: In the vast galaxy, a prestigious planet "Republic" is conquered by the planet "Empire". Conquerors built violent galactic empires to hunt down and suppress any "rebels" in an attempt to dominate the universe. To this end, the rulers of the "Empire" built the giant artificial planet "Death Star", which could destroy any planet in the galaxy. The beautiful princess Lea of ​​the former "Republic" and a group of "rebels" were taken as hostages by the "Death Star" because they failed to resist the tyranny of the empire. Princess Lea sent two robots to ask for help from Kenobi, an old knight loyal to the Republic. The young "Skywalker" Luke got the message of Leah's help, so he acted bravely, took a high-speed spacecraft with Kenobi, and flew to the "Death Star", the military command headquarters of the Empire, to rescue Leah.

Later, Princess Lea and others discovered the secret of the "Death Star" structure, and sent Luke and others to attack the "Death Star", and launched a fierce cosmic war with the Galactic Empire. In the end, the "Death Star" exploded, destroying the tyrannical galactic "Empire" ruler with it. Luke waited for his victory to return and was rewarded by Princess Lea.

The content of the Star Wars story is very similar to some fairy tales. The film's author, young director Lucas himself admitted that many of the plots came from fairy tale cartoons in his memory. Such a "smashing hit" for such a film reflects the dissatisfaction of the American people with reality, and they hope to seek solace in the illusory fantasy. At the same time, this also shows that the pornographic and violent films produced by Hollywood in the United States have been tired of by people, and only innovative and unique gimmicks can attract audiences.

After "Star Wars", the United States released a new film "Third Contact" at a cost of 19 million US dollars at the end of last year, of which 80% of the cost was spent on special effects. But how long can this wind last? The decay and decline of the entire capitalist culture doomed the American film industry to find no real way out.

A movie that doesn't depict the good life of China's agricultural automation in 2000 is not a sci-fi movie, but I think it is indeed "sci-fi"

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope quotes

  • Han Solo: Great shot, kid, that was one in a million!

  • Han Solo: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are not a good match for a blaster at your side, kid.

    Luke Skywalker: You don't believe in the Force, do you?

    Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other; I've seen a lot of strange stuff. But I've never seen anything to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. Anyway, it's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
