Running Time: 125 minutes (approx)

Production Year: 1977

Filmed in Colour

This was the first instalment to be filmed of George Lucas's epic sci-fi series. Here's the revamped version, with new scenes and special effects added by the director in 1997.

Following the death of his family at the hands of the evil Empire, young Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill, pictured, left) becomes apprentice to an ageing Jedi Knight (Alec Guinness) - a warrior who harnesses the power of the all-pervading Force. Having teamed up with a space rogue (Harrison Ford, pictured, right), Luke embarks on a mission to rescue a rebel princess (Carrie Fisher, pictured) and thwart the Empire's plans to enslave the galaxy.

Highly recommended.
