San Diego Reader

Another genealogical revelation, very much in the same line as the sole revelation in The Empire Strikes Back. Numerous other pursuits and skirmishes and creatures and contraptions -- again in the same line as those that came before. The third and final chapter in the adventures of Luke Skywalker and his pals ties up all loose ends, but the initial chapter, Star Wars, remains the only one of the three that can stand on its own. Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams; co-written (with Lawrence Kasdan) and executive produced by George Lucas; directed by Richard Marquand. 1983.
