DRUNK CINEMA 029: "Star Wars" Is Up!

 
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, Kid."
"You don't believe in the Force, do you?"
"Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff. But I've never seen anything to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. Anyway, it's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense."
-- Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, Star Wars

Hello again, movie fans!  My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, we watch the original theatrical version of Star Warsthe 1977 epic space opera film directed by George Lucas, introducing Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, and Sir Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi!
