...team, Star Wars has declared its intention: to be a celebration of communal subversiveness. The Jedi Force is itself a kind of cosmic team spirit. So it's appropriate that the movie come back into theaters to give kids of all ages the communal kick of a big-screen experience. Some early viewers have applauded the new material; others (the true believers) have booed it. But all cheer when the Millennium Falcon zaps into hyperspace; it is a video game a thousand people can play at once, and a time machine into movie memory. Who wouldn't enjoy being...

The special effects (those from the original version) range from the sublime to the ridiculous...
