Star Wars: Episodio 4 – Una Nuova Speranza – Guerre stellari [HD] (1977) in streaming su altadefinizione Il dispotico Lord Darth Vader ha scatenato la guerra in un impero galattico. La principessa Leila Organa, rappresentante dei ribelli, è sua prigioniera ma è riuscita a trafugare i piani della Morte Nera, la base spaziale di Lord Vader che può disintegrare un intero pianeta. L'anziano generale Obi-Wan Kenobi e il giovane Luke Skywalker liberano la principessa Leila e poi guidano l'attacco alla Morte Nera. Avventura che mischia abilmente i sapori del western, dei miti cavallereschi e dell'orrore. Grandi mezzi, molta fantasia e prodigi tecnologici per una realizzazione che ha lasciato un segno nel cinema americano, rielaborandone dall'interno miti e fantasie, e aprendo la strada al cinema dei decenni successivi, Oscar per la colonna sonora (celeberrima, di John Williams), la scenografia, i costumi, il montaggio, il suono e ovviamente gli effetti speciali. Una nuova edizione restaurata e con nuove sequenze è uscita nel 1997. Seguito da "L'impero colpisce ancora " (1980) e "Il ritorno dello Jedi" (1983), prodotti da Lucas e diretti rispettivamente da Irvin Kershner e Richard Marquand. Nel 1999 è finalmente arrivato "Guerre stellari- La minaccia fantasma", primo episodio di una trilogia che racconta il preambolo di "Guerre stellari".
Il film compone la prima parte della trilogia originale (episodi IV, V e VI), alla quale è seguita prima la trilogia prequel (episodi I, II e III) e in seguito la trilogia sequel (episodi VII, VIII e IX); il film vede come protagonisti Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, James Earl Jones, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker e Peter Mayhew.
