There was a diecast toy made of the Imperial Star Cruiser that was advertised in EERIE Magazine. This was the only version of that vessel to be created as a toy. To accommodate the action figures, the Imperial Troop Transport was created as a replacement for the Imperial Cruiser and the Star Destroyer. The Darth Vader's Star Destroyer playset was the only version of the Star Destroyer Kenner ever issued. See more »

Did you hear that? They shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness.

Crazy Credits
When first released theatrically, prior to the film, a generic screen reading in green letters "A Lucasfilm Limited Production" appeared. In all versions from the Special Edition onward, this is replaced with a more elaborate Lucasfilm logo that shines and glows. See more »
Alternate Versions
In the 2004 DVD edition, Vader's lines are lowered very slightly in pitch so his voice sounds more like it does in the next two films. See more »
Star wars made epic fantasy real. For a generation of people it has defined what the cinema experience is meant to be. Today it is probable that pc games will offer a deeper and more satisfying entertainment solution, but for pure visual and aural pleasure, mixed with basic emotional manipulation, there has never and will never be a better example of cinema than when star wars appeared over 25 years ago. When you think of star wars, you must remember what else was happening at the time. In America, the war in Vietnam had been lost. In the U.K economic disaster was occurring(a 3 day working week, and the army collecting rubbish). It was almost like the two most technically advanced countries in the world were going backwards. Star wars let everybody escape from that reality and reach for a future that was uncertain but ultimately good.
