The credits roll up, John Williams' orchestra takes the first chord, and a ship crawls endlessly over the planet — these three minutes were enough for cinema to change. 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' (1977) George Lucas assembled from westerns, Akira Kurosawa's samurai films, Flash Gordon series, and the mythological scheme of a young man leaving home. A farm on a desolate planet, a hidden message, an old hermit, a smuggler with debts — and an empire that has a station the size of a moon. A separate merit of the film is how its universe looks: not a sterile future, but a lived-in, scratched, patched world where technology breaks down. From here came the modern blockbuster, the merchandise industry, and a whole mythology that has been retold for half a century. It is worth starting the acquaintance with the saga right here.
