STAR WARS was photographed by Gilbert Taylor BSC......and the costume and set designers, art work and model makers were Brits as well

Surely if the DOP is as British as this, the movie must be British !

That'd make Rambo; First Blood Part II and Conan the Destroyer British because Jack Cardiff filmed them. I don't think anyone would want to claim either of those titles as British

Looks like the reviewer is another candidate for the Decca Foot In The Mouth Of The Year Award.
