Star Wars follows the adventures of this young man, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), as destiny finds its way into this faraway planet to set him on the heroic path that was expected of him.

However, George Lucas wasn't satisfied with his original version of Star Wars, so in 1997, he and his company, LucasFilm Ltd., re-released the film as a "Special Edition".

The original Star Wars will always have a dear place in my heart - it's iconic visuals , huge fictional universe , and great actor chemistry make it my favorite of the saga.
