This is one of the greatest movie classics of all time, a film responsible for permanently shaping the term "blockbuster" and launching a multimillion dollar franchise. Forty years after its release, we can still watch the feature film with new perceptions - from the practical effects of the time, to John Williams' iconic soundtrack, the philosophical debates that mythology brings us, or just the innocent look of hope that George Lucas brings in this first story.

For many, this is the best movie of the Star Wars saga, being cited as the "perfect middle story" for a trilogy. The hope from the previous episode fades away with a great victory for the villains, culminating in the film's bombastic revelation. A true lesson on how to make an iconic movie.

The saga leaves behind, with pardon of the pun, the 'dark side' in this chapter, focusing more on the heroes through action and breath-taking chase sequences. Despite losing some of its depth and giving a lot of screen time to the Ewoks, 'Return of the Jedi' is a great ending to what George Lucas proposed in the previous films.

After 16 years since the premiere of 'Return of the Jedi', George Lucas returned to the Star Wars universe with the story of the boy who would later become Darth Vader. The problem is that, even with all the technology at his disposal, the director slipped into a weak script, some new characters without charisma and in an attempt to explain elements that were seen as mystical in the original trilogy. Perhaps the greatest merit is, even, to bring a new political subplot to the saga, which had only been tangentially addressed in the previous films. Watch if you're a real fan.

The second movie of the second Star Wars trilogy - and the second movie chronologically - 'Attack of the Clones' presents several advances compared to the previous movie, but still falls short of the 1970s and 1980s trilogy. On the other hand, for those who enjoy action and breathtaking sequences, the movie does not skimp on this aspect. For fans of the saga, of course, the importance is something else: it is here that Anakin Skywalker's errors begin, which will lead the Jedi to the Dark Side of the Force.
