Much-loved critic reviewed all six 'Star Wars' films and he probably loved them more than anyone else. Even the prequels.Yesterday the film world lost a true legend and its greatest critic. Roger Ebert was and always will be loved by everyone in the industry for his sometimes brutally honest and always entertaining reviews.
In the entertainment industry many critics often make a name for themselves for their scathing critiques and for being nearly impossible to please, making that eventual positive review all the more glowing.
However Ebert was different, he was a critic free from pretension who wasn't afraid to give out his highest mark (four stars rather than five) on a regular basis - such was his love of all things cinematic.
His storied career, which saw him win a Pulitzer Prize in 1975, also saw him review each of the six 'Star Wars' films and he probably loved them more than anyone else. Even the prequels.
