Star Wars: A New Hope Reaction - • my first STAR WARS mov...
**Episode VI comes next (not Ep I)*
No, please actually watch at least episodes 1-3 first before watching episode 6. I highly highly highly recommend it. Episodes 1-3 provide so much background and context, and would end up making what happens in episode 6 that much more impactful. But, that's just my 2 cents. Cheers!
@@michaelisland2047 NO!!!
Yes please do
@@briansview2886 Lol, why not?
There is NO need to mix up the trilogies. They each have their own vibe and feel. Just get the same experience the rest of the world got as we watched the story unfold over time.
Chewbacca's speech is a combination of recorded sounds of bears, walruses, badgers, and lions, by the awesome, legendary Ben Burtt. In an interview, he said he also recorded the sounds of sick animals. He did recording for the sounds of Star Wars (ep 4) for about a year.
Oh great!!
Okay, King Gar..... I just finished doing a long reply for A New Hope..... so I'm hoping into Empire Strikes Back, now.
1:00 - Okay, remember back during Luke's trench run, when Vader said, "The Force is strong with this one...." He could sense Luke's potential in The Force, and that's why he is obsessed with finding him.
1:47 - R2-D2 is that "Ride or Die buddy".
Also, there has been a three-year time jump since Episode IV. The "Battle of Yavin" as it's called, denotes "year 0" in Star Wars' timeline. Mostly because it's where the first movie was, but "in universe" because that was when the Rebellion struck their first major blow against the Empire. While I've got this paused, let me explain the timeline real quick: Events that took place prior to the Battle of Yavin are denoted as "BBY" (Before the Battle of Yavin). Events that take place afterwards are denoted as "ABY" (After the Battle of Yavin). So, A New Hope takes place in 0 BY, Empire Strikes Back takes place in 3 ABY. As we go along, I'll use that (universally used) reference point. Return of the Jedi takes place in 4 ABY (4 years after the Battle of Yavin, and 1 year after the events of Empire Strikes Back).
2:09 - That is Obi-Wan's "Force Ghost". An ability that only a few Jedi have mastered.
2:45 - The tank of fluid that Luke was in is called "Bacta". It is a healing agent for flesh wounds. You will see that stuff again, which is why I made note of it.
4:09 - No. Chewbacca's voice is created with sounds made by Lions, Bears, and seals, combined very skillfully by Ben Burt.
7:20 - When Yoda first encountered Luke, he was testing his patience by being annoying. He wanted to know if Luke was "ready" to train as a Jedi. Once Luke had discovered it was Yoda he was talking to the whole time, you'll notice his attitude changed. Also, the way Yoda talks is on purpose. He puts the main point he wants to get across first, and details secondary.
8:12 - "What's in there?" - Luke. "Only what you take with you." - Yoda. Like much of what Yoda says, this had more than one meaning. It wasn't just his physical possessions, but also what was in his mind. That is why Luke had a vision of Vader. Vader was on his mind when he went in there. That he "won, but lost" (Vader's helmet showing his own face below the mask) is telling, but I can't explain it any more than that, because "spoilers".
10:04 - We're not exactly sure, but it was an insult that sounded a lot like "eat shit". Which is a very popular fan theory that it's what that droid said to 3PO.
10:57 - No, they aren't giving up on him, but sorting out a "backup plan" in case something happens to Luke.
11:24 - Heh. Fun fact: the script called for Han to say "I love you, too." and it was filmed nearly 100 times (according to the documentary), and never came out right. So, Irvin Kirshner told Harrison Ford to "just say something", so he said, "I know", which was a very Han Solo thing to say. They printed that one take.
11:56 - Take note to how Vader is "fighting" Luke, here. He's literally toying with him, to see how much training he has had. Remember, it's taken 3 years since Vader became aware of Luke's existence to finally encounter him. Also, I forgot to mention the bounty hunter who followed the Millenium Falcon to Bespin was named "Boba Fett". He first appeared in the "Star Wars Holiday Special" in cartoon form. And no, I don't recommend watching it. As an 11 year old kid in 1978, it was really cool, because it was the only Star Wars content we had besides the original movie. We had no streaming services back then, nor even cable TV. Watching it now, in my 50s, it's horrible. Yeah, it was the 70s, but it was still horrible. And I love cheesy stuff from the 70s.
12:06 - When Luke landed the blow to Vader's shoulder armour, that's when he decided to end the duel quickly, and he removed Luke's hand.
12:27 - Now, imagine it's 1980, you're sitting in the theater watching this for the first time, and no one saw that revelation coming. We had 3 years to wait until we found out if it was true or not. It was the topic of school yard discussions for all three of those years.
13:13 - I'm not answering that question. Best you'll get out of me is this: You'll have to watch Return of the Jedi to find out for sure.
The next movie is Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Then we waited 16 years to get Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
Believe it or not they used bear growls, donkeys and dogs and lions and or tigers as the voice of Chewie. Specifically a female grizzly bear.
I commented a few times on your channel, but to boost viewers I just want to tell you- you have both the most beautiful smile and such a wonderful quality in your voice- I am really enjoying your reactions to something from my childhood. It's like I am seeing it for the first time again, and that's exactly why people love genuine reactions. So thank you! You do this really well by asking good questions and really getting into the story of it to understand about it and the various worlds in it. Really great and I am glad I found you early. I bet your channel blows up by picking a classic series such as this.
Oh thank you so much! 😄
Re what Luke saw when he cut the mask off the pseudo-Vader on Yoda's planet: I have always interpreted this as a warning to Luke about how easy it would be for him to cross over to the dark side. It's interesting to speculate on what would have happened if Luke had heeded Yoda's advice and not taken his weapons into the cave.
Re what the C-3PO clone said to C-3PO. I think it's something like "Ee chuta". Basically I believe it was a way to get a near profanity on-screen without affecting the rating. It sounds like "Eat shit" ans, in context, is basically equivalent to "Eff off!"
Excellent reaction. On to "Return". I hope you'll do at least the 1st 3 films as well. I don't like them as much as 4-6, but they're worth it for back-story.
Thanks for the input and clarity! Plan on watching all the Star Wars films including the new ones 😃.
It’s been a fun journey so far
0:49 LMFAOOOOO I love that u move back and forth 🤣👌 absolutely brilliant
"that's not true, he's lying" HAHAHAHA
Pro-tip: Turn on subtitles.
Also - Just imagine hearing THAT revelation in theaters, and having to wait 3 YEARS to find out if it's true or not. That's how we experienced it between 1980 and 1983. You kids don't know how lucky you have it!
Also also, after Return of the Jedi, you can watch everything in chronological order. Episode I, II, The Clone Wars (animated movie and series), Episode III, The Bad Batch (animated series), Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Rebels (animated series), Rogue One, Episode IV, V, VI, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Episode VII, VIII, IX. (I think that's everything)
Don't discount those animated series, either. While the first few seasons of Clone Wars can be tough to get through, it hits its stride in season 3, and the animation keeps getting better the further it goes along. You will meet some interesting characters that show up later in live action.
thank you! subtitles are on but edited out. Wouldn’t want to miss in dialogue 🤠
@@kinggar I just found your channel, and I enjoyed this video. I have been a Star Wars fan since 1977 when I was 10 years old. I am very familiar with the official canon, and just to let you know, tend to make rather lengthy replies which include many details you may have missed in your first viewing. With that said, I'm very good at not giving out spoilers. I know of a lot of "easily missed" details in the movies and TV shows, so when Return of the Jedi gets uploaded, look for a rather lengthy comment. I also want to make two recommendations to you: "Empire of Dreams", which is a movie length documentary of the making of the Original Trilogy (A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi), which you can watch at your leisure after seeing Return of the Jedi. Also, a movie called "Fanboys", which takes place in our universe, but focuses on a group of Star Wars fans going on an adventure just prior to the release of Episode I in 1999. There are NO spoilers for Episode I in the movie, but there's a surprising number of cameos that you'll enjoy. Whenever I do a Star Wars marathon, I include that movie, because it's a great companion piece to the Star Wars saga. Like I said, there are no spoilers for the movie contained in it. I'm not sure what service has the movie available for streaming, though. You may have to look for it.
Have a wonderful day!
@@IggyStardust1967 haha thank you! Looking forward to the lengthy replies
@@kinggar I see you don't have many videos up, so I'm going to go back and watch your Episode IV reaction, and comment there, then do one for Empire Strikes Back, as well. You have questions, I have spoiler-free answers. It's a little hobby of mine to help new Star Wars fans to learn about "The Saga". It's something I really enjoy doing. So be sure to look for them. I use timestamps in the replies, so that you know specifically what I'm referring to. I look forward to helping guide you along this ever-expanding universe.
One thing I will say about the animated series', they ARE considered "canon", and the animation does get better as they go along. As I said above, The Clone Wars is a little tedious at the beginning but does get better both in story arcs and animation style as it goes along. The 7 seasons cover a time span of about 3 1/2 years. Some new characters are introduced, and they all have some level of relevancy to the overall story.
Yes, please, do the animated shows also, we will be here for you and you will certainly love them!
"not sure I like Luke and Leia together" HAHAHA
My favourite side character is Thrawn, but Lando is my second, he obviously was just in a bad situation and totally redeems himself at the right time.
Also it is never fully explained why Obi one can not interfere, but I think it has to do with the balance of the force.
Definitely watch episode 6 next.
Dude!! The next movie is Episode 6 (Return of The Jedi) not episode 1.
Ohh yes! Forgot the order..will be watching episode 6 next
Unless he's doing a machete order which is actually a good order depending on your tastes
This one is really short. Was that intentional or were there copyright considerations involved?
Copyright :(
sorta hoped u watched it in chronological order, but i still dan't wait for u to get to episode 3
I see someone saying vader us toying with luke and to a point that's true..but he also underestimated him. He was literally stunned luke got out of f the freezing pit and pissed off when luke wounded him
True, but Luke was only able to do both of those BECAUSE Vader was not going all out on him
Please watch episode six next. There's no reason at all to go to the prequels first. You'll be able to properly wrap up the OT then go back and have many things explained for you.
I agree. Although the next set of movies technically take place at an earlier time, watching in the order the movies came out will be less confusing and answer a lot. I like these older movies the best, though the prequels just add on to the series. Really though, these 3 can almost be stand alone, other than it's fun to go back and see what happened in the timeline before them. I think you would really like the Lord of the Ring movies too, if you need a suggestion. Very beautifully filmed.
@@joanna400 I totally disagree. If you watch Episode 6 without getting a certain guy's back story, his fate means practically nothing because you never got to know the character. Episode 6 is intended to be the last episode. Lucas has already said that they should be watched in chronological order now anyway.
Another great reaction! Empire has always been my favorite, mostly because of Yoda and the Force lore, but having watched a lot of reactors, my love for both trilogies was renewed and I now appreciate all of them even more. The Sequels are definitely not my cup of tea, but you will be able to make your own judgment.
Luke knew Obi One as Ben Kenobi, the more common name he was going by. I am not an expert on all the lore, but think Obi One is his Jedi name. Foreshadow not quite a spoiler, - Darth Vader wasn't always his name either.
Hey hope your channel gets big
Oh thank you so much!
And yes he is but you'll see that for yourself in the next 4 movies to go and the shitty 3 that Disney made
Don't listen to the naysayers about the sequels. Just watch with fresh eyes. I think you'll like them
Now that you've seen the "I am your father" scene, switching over and watching the prequels would definitely make Episode VI hit way harder. That said, there were no prequels when I first saw these. Your call, enjoying the reactions either way!
Thanks Sam,
I think I’ll be going with order of release instead. No doubt your suggestion would make the experience better, but I would also like to experience it the way most fans did
@@kinggar no it wouldn't make it better. Getting the OT wrapped up as it's supposed to be is satisfying
Please do the prequels!!!
Grew up watching them and love them
Why such a short reaction? 15 minutes??
Music copyright, so I had to cut some scenes out to avoid copyright claims..but Episode VI should have more content!
Beware the advice to next watch Ep VI, and continue with your plan to next watch Ep I, II, and III. You will benefit in having the backstory *shown* in Ep I-III, rather than *told* in exposition in Ep VI. There is story and plot (not the same things) in all of these movies, and both plot and story of Ep VI are enhanced using either the Modified Machete Order (451236) or the actual Machete Order (45236). I encourage you to continue while keeping as unspoiled as you can.... very well done so far! Just because we old-timers watched in release order is not a compelling reason to replicate that. No other option was possible for us because, well, space-time and stuff. The VAST majority of You-Tubers decide to have their reaction videos with watching in release order. There are some who have done chronological, and while that's not my recommended way to watch, that ship has already sailed. You can join Nasser (451236) and Duaffy (145236) to be one of the very few doing a 5-prequel-6 dance. BTW - their reactions using that formula were soul-shattering.
I completely disagree. the way the filmmaker made them is the way they should be watcher. I find it presumptuous that anybody would know better than the person who wrote the story
Check out Episodes 1-3 before 6 that way you learn the backstory before going to the endgame!
NO!!!
@@briansview2886 YES!!!
That is BAD advice!!
@@ralfuz777 Why?
Here me out He's now entered the world as a Viewer he knows who the main principle characters are Obi-Wan, Anakin, Vader, The Emperor, at least from this point he can now go see the WHYS and the How's and after Episode 3 the stakes are SO much higher in episode 6 from a storytelling point of view. The other reason for doing so is that certain twists in the prequels actually HIT harder! 2 in particular where as if you watch Jedi you'll know everything going in!
No, that will ruin the twist. There's no reason to mix up the trilogies. Just watch them in the same order the rest of the world did as we saw the story unfold over time.
Love your videos!
Thank you for watching! 😃
