George Lucas' classic, Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope, came out over 45 years ago in 1977. All this time later, it is still regarded as one of the best films of all time, and it began one of the most popular franchises in history.
With everything that has come after A New Hope, from the prequels and the sequels to new series like Obi-Wan Kenobi, how does A New Hope stand up in regards to the rest of the franchise?
From Wikipedia:
Star Wars (retroactively titled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope) is a 1977 American epic space opera film written and directed by George Lucas, produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It is the first film in the Star Wars film series and fourth chronological chapter of the "Skywalker Saga". Set "a long time ago" in a fictional universe where the galaxy is ruled by the tyrannical Galactic Empire, the story focuses on a group of freedom fighters known as the Rebel Alliance, who aim to destroy the Empire's newest weapon, the Death Star. Luke Skywalker becomes caught in the conflict while learning the ways of a metaphysical power known as "the Force" from Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. The cast includes Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, James Earl Jones, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and Peter Mayhew.
Obi-Wan Kenobi follows Ben Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) on Tattooine 9 years before the events of A New Hope and ten years after Revenge of the Sith. When little Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) is kidnapped by criminals working for the Third Sister (Moses Ingram), Senator Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) reaches out to Obi-Wan as his only hope. The series is directed by Deborah Chow.
