The Single Best Thing In Every Star Wars Movie
6. A New Hope: The Flawless Action Sequences
Star Wars: A New Hope is undoubtedly one of the greatest blockbuster movies ever made and it gets virtually everything right, but the best thing in it? It's got to be the spectacle.
At the time, A New Hope was a genuinely revolutionary movie that really showed what cinema could do on-screen and it's a testament to just how well-done the action sequences are that they still hold up so well today.
Every single set-piece in A New Hope is an ingeniously crafted, ferociously suspenseful and infectiously fun tour-de-force of film-making where every single frame of it radiates imagination and passion. You can always tell how much craft has been put into the film and, regardless of the mistakes he made with the Prequels, George Lucas really created cinematic gold here.
In particular, the climactic space battle above the Death Star is surely one of the best action sequences ever put to film.
