Introduction
Obi-Wan’s voice whispers: “Use the Force, Luke.” Luke switches off his targeting computer. He breathes. He feels the Force flow through him. He fires.
This tactile reality is why the film holds up better than CGI-heavy contemporaries. When R2-D2 hides behind a rock on Tatooine, he is actually a radio-controlled robot in the desert. When the Stormtroopers hit their heads on the Death Star door, it feels authentic because an actor actually hit a heavy prop. A New Hope breathes because it is constructed of metal and sand, not pixels.
With the help of his friends and the Force, Luke helps destroy the Death Star, and the Rebel Alliance achieves a major victory. The film ends with Luke, Han, Leia, and their friends celebrating their triumph, as Luke looks out into the galaxy, ready for his next adventure.
A Legendary Cast and Crew
The film’s sound is its hidden narrator. The deep, Vader-breath-scuba-regulator. The squeal of R2-D2 (a combination of Burtt’s own voice, water pipes, and a synthesizer). R2 is the emotional heart of the film, by the way—a trash can with no dialogue who expresses more pathos in a single beep than most actors manage in a monologue.
