To celebrate twenty years of Star Wars, director George Lucas has finally released the film as he originally intended it to be. He has always said that the trilogy - which includes Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi - was never as good as he had wanted. After years of watching these films on video, you can experience this thrilling space adventure again in the cinema and with fantastic sound.

The trilogy is a classic tale of the fight between good and evil. However, instead of happening on earth, the action takes place “...a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” It involves not only humans but all sorts of frighten­ing, and sometimes amusing, robots and alien creatures. The heroes of the trilogy are Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia, who work together to fight Darth Vader, the evil leader who wants to take over the universe.

Excellent performances are given by stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guinness and Mark Hamill, but the special effects, play a bigger role than any of the actors. There are amazing space battles and gigantic, fighting robots with laser weapons. You’ll certainly enjoy the incredible chases on floating motorbikes. You will also be fascinated by some of the strangest creatures you’ve ever seen in completely convincing alien landscapes.

George Lucas says: "When I made the original Star Wars, I was very inter­ested in creating a modern myth. Greek mythology, or mythology from any country, often takes place in an unknown area ... and the only area we have now which is like that is outer space." With this fantastic trilogy, Lucas has certainly succeeded in creating a myth that will never be forgotten. Even if you have seen the original films, you should definitely not miss the chance to experience the Star Wars trilogy as Lucas really wanted it to be.
