Lightsabers, Jedi, and The Force don't have as big a role in Star Wars (1977) as they do in later films. The climax of the film is a space battle, not a lightsaber duel, and in the opening scene Vader doesn't use The Force to choke the captain.

The force doesn't have a big role in Star Wars? Yes, the climax of the film is a space battle... in which the hero taps into his newly learned force abilities (after being instructed by his jedi mentor, who was killed by the bad guy jedi in a lightsaber fight, and then became a force ghost) which enables him to blow up the evil space station and restore freedom to the galaxy..

But again, I'm all for a non-jedi film. But there is still a lot that can be done with the whole jedi/force mythology.
