One day ago???
@@ahem7 the upload was most likely scheduled to upload at a certain time so the comment was already there
George Lucas talked on the reason why Chewbacca didn't get a Medal the reason he refused one is because his race the wookies didn't care much for material wealth or precious metals.
Disney eventually changed It when they bought star wars but it is a nice little bit of info.
Get those sponsorship dollars, girl!
Now If you desire,Try for Empire Strikes Back....Better prepare yourself..It WILL get dark..BUT Luke WILL be trained...Wait`ll you see who and how Luke`ll be trained, and these scenes, where crazy incidents happened: The Mind affect on those storm troopers,are known as the Jedi Mind Trick. The Choking you saw was a SITH power....Vader is a Sith Lord...That is a Dark Sith Lord Power..Basically It is called The Sith Force Choke When Vader swung and tried cutting down Kanobi,he died,But his Conciousness and Spirit Ascended into The Force,and Became A Force Spirit/Ghost...Trained to have the ability to do it,and succeeded! The Voice is his Force-Assisted Spirit and Conciousness talking to Luke,and Luke used The Force to guide him,to get the target....He did. If you heard Kanobi talking to Luke,After the Station blew up,It`s his Force Spirit Talking to him.
“By all living things? So I contribute to the Force too? I love it!” - One of the most wholesome reactions to Star Wars I’ve ever seen. I am so looking forward to this journey.
I love how she immediately understands the Force better than half the hardcore fans
🙏🏽
@@FrostyMac do you really believe she has never seen Star Wars before? Call me cynical but I find her rather fake! 👎👎👎
@@mikelarsen5836 she’s literally been to galaxy’s edge. and who doesn’t know about star wars? lighten up my guy
@@mikelarsen5836 I've skipped a lot of pop culture. Specifically, I never finished a LOTR movie or watched Game of Thrones. It's not impossible.
Do you want to see more Star Wars content? If so, which movie would you like to see me comment/react to the MOST?
Hell yeah Angelina I want you to react to more you need to see the empire strikes back the return of the Jedi the phantom menace the clone wars and the return of the sith 😈 and maybe the clone wars animated series too please 🙏✌️❤️😚☺️
i cant wait to watch your reaction to Revenge of the Sith, best Star Wars imo. Rogue one is also really good, its definitely the best disney star wars
Empire and Revenge of the Sith.
Angelina if you have any questions about Star wars check out a CZcams channel called star wars theory there you will find anything on star wars ✌️❤️☺️😚
@@jacktait9849 revenge of the sith is the best 😈✌️❤️
As someone who saw this in theaters in 1977 as a kid, I can tell you the special effects were mind blowing for the era. They literally changed the movie industry from that point forward. There wasn't any company capable of doing the kind of visuals George Lucas had in mind, so he formed Industrial Light & Magic for that task.
True Dat !
I agree Neo Spock, I was 13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars.
It's even featured in that 70s show how crazy the effects where
Same in 77
"Who knew robots could be programmed with HOSTILITY?"
_an entire army of Federation droids laughing in square wave_
Also she has not apparently seen James Cameron's Terminator.
4:30 The actor in the C-3PO suit is also the voice, Anthony Daniels. George Lucas originally wanted to do what he did with Darth Vader (dubbing over with another actor), and his original idea for 3PO's voice was described as a gruff used-car salesman. He ended up loving Daniels' "prissy butler voice" so much more so he stuck with that. Also, bonus C-3PO fact: He was originally supposed to walk normally, but Anthony Daniels didn't even try on the costume until a day or two before filming started, and one of the leg pieces broke; there was no way to walk around in it without getting stabbed in the leg, which is why he walks how he does in the final film.
What is amazing is Kenny Baker inside R2D2.
That crazy
Dubbing Darth Vader and not dubbing C3PO was 2 of the best choices he made in regards to Star Wars
@@sean_mccadden I don’t know have you heard the original voice for Vader, but seriously 3p0s actor has voiced him in every role, even the Lego specials… that’s cool
@user-qu6xo5jc8r I have yeah. The parts with David Prowse the actor in the suit. It was a lot higher and a lot more British.
John Williams is the GOAT. And yes, Star Wars would be a pale shadow of itself without its magnificent musical score. Also, Ben Burtt's ground-breaking sound design and sound effects are what give Star Wars its spectacular and unique feel.
“Binary Sunset” will always fill me with hope whenever I hear it. It’s my favorite piece in the Star Wars franchise.
The shrieking sound of the TIE fighters were actually inspired by the sirens on WWII Stuka dive bombers. The actual sounds from Stuka sirens have been used over and over again in movies and TV shows, mostly in scenes that didn't even have a Stuka in it. George Lucas merely took the idea of the sound, and cranked it up several notches to create the incredible tension during the Death Star trench battle.
Part of the TIE fighter's scream effect was a baby elephant screaming.
Those bombers are notoriously deadly, sweeping through Norway, Sweden, Norway, Poland, France and the low countries, and even North Africa and the Soviet front.
On 4 July 1940 alone, StG 2 made a successful attack on a convoy in the English Channel, sinking four freighters: Britsum, Dallas City, Deucalion and Kolga. Six more were damaged. That afternoon, 33 Ju 87s delivered the single most deadly air assault on British territory in history, when 33 Ju 87s of III./StG 51, avoiding Royal Air Force (RAF) interception, sank the 5,500 ton anti-aircraft ship HMS Foylebank in Portland Harbour, killing 176 of its 298 crew. One of Foylebank's gunners, Leading Seaman John F. Mantle continued to fire on the Stukas as the ship sank.
Oddly enough modern helicopters with fenstron type shrouded tail rotors sounds a lot like TIE fighters.
I mean in space, there's no sound so the space scenes WOULD be rather dull... I did always imagine that spaceships have been fitted with 'simulated noise emitters' designed to, well, stimulate - the human/sentient being's sense of sound.
Let’s help make sure she never gets spoiled so she can enjoy this experience
Don’t worry… we will watch her career with great interest😏😏😏
@@ARC5555Fives it's settled then
The negotiations were short
You mean like how R2D2 is Jabba's brother?
@@ItApproaches How dare you give spoilers. Now Ange will definitely feel bad when they take Jabba away to be sold as scrap.
Anthony Daniels was the actor inside C3PO (golden droid). Originally his voice was supposed to be replaced with a sleezy carsalesman's voice, but Anthony Daniels fit the movements so well to his "butler" voice, that it didn't work with another voice.
And this meant that Anthony Daniels have been in every single Star Wars since then. Smart move by him, hehe.
My favorite part of this movie by far is the Death Star rescue sequence, and it’s because Leia is a high ranking member of the Rebellion, which is currently in open civil war with the Empire, so she was likely expecting an actual military force of trained soldiers to come to break her out, and instead she got a farm boy, the old war vet her dad had told her about, and a pair of smugglers in a tricked out space Winnebago;
Also as for their ages, they are as follows:
Luke and Leia are both 19 at the time of this movie
Han is 32
Obi Wan is 57
Chewbacca is 200
Both C-3P0 and R2-D2 are older than 32 in the movie, though we’re not sure by how much
Darth Vader is 41
Those ages are not accurate for Han and Obi Wan if you go by what was originally canon. Han's exact age is unknown and Obi Wan was in his 60s because the Clone Wars were 40 years before A New Hope, not the 20 that Lucas changed it to with the Prequels. I have a CD Rom called Star Wars: Behind the Magic from LucasArts that I got back in 1997 and it has the original timeline.
@@Falcun21 that’s dope! I do miss a lot of the old canon, I mean who doesn’t love one of the solo kids having to train with Boba Fett to take down their twin who became a Sith lord? I wanted to give the ages that are currently accurate, just because the prequels will be a part of the journey, and they are what’s currently canon; Legends will always have a special place in our hearts!
@@Falcun21 Revenge of the Sith is set 19 years before ANH. ROTS was the end of the clone wars.
This was the canon by George Lucas himself after the prequels came out.
Damn! Vader was actually too young then. Some people of his age don't even get kids.
I love how the editor put in references and jokes only real fans will understand.
Makes this even better!
Please define "real" fans?
If you mean "long term/multiple viewing" fans, or if you mean "only those fans who like what I like" fans. They seem to be the two biggest groups of SW fans.
@@IggyStardust1967 pretty sure he's talking about "long term/multiple viewing" fans
@@braveoil13 This.
@@braveoil13 Not that I disagree with you, but the term "real fans" has developed a rather negative connotation over the last few years. "REAL Star Wars fans hate the Sequel Trilogy", or "REAL fans think the Disney buyout was the worst thing to happen since Hitler" or some such nonsense. To me, "True Star Wars fans" will give the movies, shows, books, etc, a viewing/read before deciding if they like that particular piece of content. If you don't like something, that's okay... but don't just jump on the "this is stupid BS" bandwagon just because you think it makes you look cool. It doesn't.
Myself, I'm an OT kid. Meaning that I saw it in theaters in 1977 at the age of 10. That doesn't make me "better" than those just discovering this franchise. If anything, I feel obligated to help them along, as they won't be exposed to the same things we were "back in the day". I love Star Wars. I enjoyed the Prequels when they were released, and I wasn't afraid to say so. I see the flaws in all of the movies, but I don't allow them to prevent me from enjoying them. My personal opinion is that the Sequel Trilogy suffered from the lack of coherent story, but I would never tell someone not to watch them. I would caution about going into them with a high standard but do watch them and determine for yourself if you like them or not. It's not up to me to tell someone they WON'T enjoy something.
If I'm being completely honest, Rogue One (a Disney made SW movie) is one of my absolute favorites of the franchise. I literally can't watch it, without watching A New Hope directly afterward. They fit THAT well together.
@@IggyStardust1967 I have never seen something I completely agree with more than this about Star Wars. I wish more people were like you, perfectly respectful of people's opinions and encouraging people to make their own decisions.
This is one of the best movies ever in my opinion. I've been a Star Wars fan for many years and seeing this makes me happy
I was about six years old. I asked my father, "Dad, why is our dog named Obi-wan Kenobi?" He then sat me down to give me a proper introduction to this movie. *Grin* I didn't have dolls, I had Star Wars action figures and toys. The original trilogy has always and will be my preferred choice. (So if you just stop with these, I'm totally down with it. :)) Oh, and 'Use the force' was a common saying in our household when faced with something potentially difficult; along with a lot of other reference while growing up.
And you will LOVE the relationship between R2D2 and C3PO
I also had Star Wars figures instead of dolls. And shag blue carpet with Star Wars sheets and curtains.
w dad
That's funny. Our dog (a black lab) was Lord Darth Vader. I saw this movie when it FIRST came out, in the Drive-In. I was 6. My mom put a blanket on the ground in the front row, no cars were in that row, and put the speakers on the ground on each side of our heads. And we watched the movie unfold on that huge screen as if it was in the stars above us. I fell in love. It was 1977 and I have never stopped loving the franchise.
My brother has 2 ginny pigs called Han and Chewie.
@@Knight121198 when I adopted two kittens, siblings, later in life, the Original owner had called them Luke and Leia. I changed their names to Lija and Mister Neville Mistoffles. And Neville always glared at me when I'd mention he used to be Luke.
That jump when Luke retracts his light saber always bothered me. When I heard they were going to improve some of the special effects in the late 1990s, I hoped that would be one of the things they would fix, but they didn't. Instead, they mostly added a bunch of CGI creatures to various scenes, which weren't really necessary.
Yeah the scene with Jabba looks bad. Like Han just steps through him...
I'm usually not excited anymore for Star Wars reactions but yours made me happy. I felt like I did when I shared this for the first time with my kids (my youngest is about your age maybe a little older).
I was 19 years old when this film came out. It was huge. The lines were unbelievable for those times and I actually stood in line 10 times to see this movie. The effects for those times were phenomenal.
That was Luke's age too!
this isn't even the original movie, this is that special Edition crap. I want her to see the actual theatrical version that came out in 1977.
The only versions of these films readily available are the Special Edition ones, which have had some of the special effects touched up digitally and some scenes put back into the film. But most of the original effects are still included. Ep.4 had the most changes done to it because it had the smallest budget of them all. The next film actually has the fewest changes, and the changes they did make actually help the movie, mostly. Ep.6 has the most baffling of all the changes.
What’s funny is the added cgi bits look so bad and out of place compared to the original practical effects.
@@johnglue1744 Not always. While people always notice the CGI dewbacks and Jabba, they never seem to really notice that many of the shots during the Death Star battle have also been re-done digitally. The blast rings around Alderaan and the Death Star when they blow up also seem to go unnoticed.
@@oneironaut420 what’s funny about that is I hate the blast rings. I always loved how the Death Star just goes POOF.
@@salyx the anticlimax of all that evil just puffing away like dust in the original is great
@johnglue1744 I agree. And Hans Solo shot first! Lucas should have left it alone. Adding Jabba to the original Star Wars spoiled the anticipation & shock of his appearance in "Return of the Jedi".
Quoting Obi-Wan Kenobi "You've taken your first step into a larger world." 👍
the "blast points" referenced when they come upon the jawa cruiser is not talking about blaster shots, they mean blast points as in where they placed explosive charges, meaning that tusken raiders (sand people) do not know the mechanics of the jawas cruisers enough to know where to place explosives to disable them. sorry if this comes off as gatekeepy or something, just tired of people misunderstanding that scene.
That sounds like a retcon justification made up to excuse the poor aim of the Stormtroopers later. Just like the whole Kessel Run in 12 parsecs thing.
I've been watching star wars since 91 and I never knew this
That sounds more explanatory than gatekeepy. I think you're good, you're being helpful as far as I can tell.
@@bombomos That's because it's wrong.
THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE
my boi Tim!!!!
Indeed 😈
Absolutely loved your reaction
It's super surprising you have never watched star wars because of your understanding and appreciation of how films are made, music and all
And your editing is amazing ☺️
I can't wait to see you react to the rest of these films
I don’t know if this has been said already in the comments, but consider that every time you see a starship, that is a model maybe 12 inches long. And Chewie not getting a medal still cuts deep. I can’t wait to see you experience this franchise for the first time. Keep up the great work!
The MTV Movie awards rectified Chewie’s metal dilema one year when he was honored with lifetime achievement award. Carrie Fisher herself was there to present it to him. I don’t know if it was original actor Peter Mayhew in the costume but he was at least made aware of the presentation.
The version you’re watching is a rerelease with new effects and controversial editing by its creator, George Lucas. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, he created a company to do cutting edge effects. It went on to keep pushing boundaries when it comes to effects. However, Lucas released a new edit in 1997. For example, he altered the Han Solo versus Greedo shoot out . Originally, it was only Han shooting Greedo. Also, the moment when Han tells that slug, Jabba, “you’re a wonderful human being,” was a deleted scene with a human actor. This is why Han awkwardly looks like he’s walking over Jabba’s tail. There are comparison videos on CZcams of altered shots in these movies and their rereleases.
is their anyway to see the original star wars. I really hate these special edition versions.
i’ve never clicked on a notification so fast😩 you’re gonna love this series so much!!!! please continue xx
Early Gang! I'm streaming tonight at 8PM EST and still on the Partner Push! :) Help a sister out and see you there? ~
I actually think the special edition alterations they've done over the years somewhat detract from the film, so I was happy that you zeroed in on a few things that they were doing at the time, like the lightsaber effects. I am happy you enjoyed the film! I'd love it if you did commentary for more classics. When it comes to 80s and 90s films, there's a lot to talk about!
I have the mid-late 80s VHS version of the original trilogy. Most of the revamps Lucas did later are *not* in these. I go back to them from time to time to enjoy the closest thing left to the theatrical release.
I totally agree. The added scenes and cgi creatures were not needed. I get touchups and enhancements etc but the practical effects were so great there was no need to add fully cgi creatures. I'm really glad I have the last VHS released set and 2 of the 3 original films on DVD released before the Special Edition release (I never could track down the third one not without paying a lot for it or getting a bootleg copy). I remember when people were talking on youtube about Harmy's Despecialized Edition were this person painstakingly restored the original films, I just wish Disney would released an Official Despecialized Edition or rather a restored original edition for fans who want to experience the films how audiences got to see them when they were released.
@@roguechevelle We're probably going to have to wait for Lucas to de before that's even an option, as he seems to have decided that he wants the originals wiped form existence. It's actually possible that he's been successful enough in his efforts that there will NEVER be a truly authentic high-quality release of the films as they were when they first hit the theaters.
Thats why he calls Pizza the hut a wonderful human....coz in the original version of this deleted scene it was a large man in a sheepskin coat🍕
I cannot describe how fun it is watching you experience Star Wars for the first time. I love Star Wars, and your reactions and input made it so much better. Also the way you shrieked: "HARRISON FORD!!!" killed me.
Just noticed Vader didn't even force choke that Rebel he just did it the regular way. Savage.
DV gives NO fucks
I feel like this whole franchise gets a bad rap at times for newcomers because it's seen as a nerd franchise at times, but especially in the shows for me, we get to see some really cool characters and their growth and there's something in this franchise for everyone. Loved the reaction!
Yes, Character Development is a rare thing in new Hollyweird movies.
@@Otokichi786 I actually find that older movies are a lot less likely to have proper character development. Almost all modern movies at least attempt it. However, it is very formulaic.
I definitely wouldn’t say that. I don’t know a single person in my life who doesn’t at least kind of like Star Wars. It’s become a cult icon franchise.
@@calvinjohnson6242 I mean I don't know which older movies and which modern movies you're thinking of while making this insane statement, but that's what that statement is lol.
40:28 The scene with Jaba and Solo. That was actually a deleted scene from the original movie, that scene was later edited back in, in the 2000's. Now, Jaba was actually to be human, Jaba was the guy standing next to the Falcon as Solo walks towards the ship (heavy guy with the beard, kinda looks like a pirate captain). If you pause it just right, you can see Solo is looking at him, because that's who he originally had that conversation with.
Gotta love the little Gomi interpretive dance interlude 😂 Also I would totally be making my own lightsaber sounds if I got to use one! Glad you enjoyed it Ange and great commentary as always
Back then, everyone thought this movie was gonna be a bomb
Even George Lucas decided to skip the premiere
with Steven Spielberg... talking about Indiana Jones
He decided to skip it?
Lucas skipped it to go on holiday in Hawaii after a long and tough shoot. Not because he thought it was going to bomb.
Omg!! Welcome to the fam and our galaxy far, far away ❤️❤️ so special
Lucasfilm has always been on the BLEEDING edge of practical, special and sound effects. If they can't find what they need they BUILD it!!
It's weird to think, they are the ones that created CGI. It's so fuckin cool!
2:45, RIP, Carrie Fisher, 1956-2016. Heaven has gained a princess.
The fact that this was an indie movie (like a A24 kind of movie) and George Lucas financed himself it's amazing
Hilarious editing, I genuinely lolled a few times. Kudos to the editor.
Welcome to Star Wars! It’s still one of my favorite films after all these years, and it is always so much fun to see someone get to experience it for the first time.
I'm just so jealous that you're watching Star Wars for the first time! So glad you had a great time watching it and your commentary was so funny. I was cracking up with your sound effects, especially the Tie Fighter sounds of a man screaming at 22:25 LOL. Can't wait to see your reaction video to Empire Strikes Back!
I recommend GALAXY QUEST.
one thing I love in the movie is how its reinforced over and over that the computer can't make that shot. They even show the computer failing to do it.
The sound effect you are referring to was created out of an old monster roaring/screaming sound. You heard it right. I always thought it was a very cool and creative choice for a space ship engine.
Han, Luke and Leia🌠The original golden trio🌚
They are so determined to change every aspect of this movie they even changed Greedo’s lines…I can’t 🤣
Maclunkey
I hate the janky neck movement they give
Han
Hope you will give *The Mandalorian* a chance after catching up on the movies!!
It single-handedly saved the Star Wars franchise imo
.....and then the book of boba fett killed it again.
@@maarek71 Nah its good people just trippin
@@Thurrak In my opinion it´s not bad... just mediocre. Most of the runtime I was entertained just sadly for the wrong reasons. I guess the series is just like Boba in the movies: Actually quite disappointing but everybody still loves him.
I mean the writing was so horribly bad... He is supposed to be a Mob Boss... without a Mob! There are countless examples I could make that just didn´t make sense and I already have a high tolerance for suspension of disbelief.
I guess my experience was like watching a trashy movie. You are having a good time but only because it´s so bad that it´s just funny.
@@Thurrak Nah its bad people just trippin
The Disney era of Star Wars anyway. To appreciate mandelorian she should watch clone wars
There wasn’t really “CGI” back then. It’s all practical effects.
Well to be fair this did have Cgi in it, but thats because this was the 90s special edition re-release. "With all new scenes!" As the trailer said.
@@shawnlopez2317 not even the 90s edition it's the Disney plus version easily identifiable by the "Mc klonkey" scene before Han shoots greedo [Edit] aaaaand what I just remembered the original movie actually had CGI - the only real cgi in the theatrical version back in the 70s is the animation of the deathstar at the mission briefing on Jarvin IV. Those White Dots.
@@pala1742 oh your right on both counts. They just keep adding to this thing don't they!
@@shawnlopez2317 yeah, the never finished movies. I don't really mind. But they almost delete older versions. I think there is no real way of seeing the original theatrical print today. The whole Han shot first thing, all the added cgi. Even color grading and framing was changed sometimes
It`s funny, but these transitions made these films unique! At the time I didn`t saw anything like this, I mean no other film did transitions like this! So it was at once something that stood out.
Star Wars was a formative media for me. I remember going to watch the Force Awakens in theaters and crying when the opening theme started playing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, the originals are just fantastic.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this movie. If you look at the behind the scenes stuff for this movie and Empire, they did so much work to build the sets and the models. Lucas and his crew were visionaries in how they got their special effects. No computers involved, just pure human labor and imagination.
In 1999, I was 7 when my dad introduced me to Star Wars. Same time the first prequel came out. We had a movie poster of it. This movie used to show every Saturday. It became one of my favourite movie franchises. My little brother introduced me to playing Battlefront on the Xbox. My dad had that same reaction too "Where's Chewbacca's medal?!"
I had just turned 11 years old when I saw this film in the theater for the first time, in August 1977 (it had come out in May but had been gaining some serious word of mouth over the summer, as well as an increase of theaters showing it, and I didn't get a chance until August to see it). Your reaction was very much like that of a lot of people who saw it back then. I loved it, and it became a major part of the public zeitgeist from that time forward. I ended up seeing it one more time in 1977, with my mom and sister (in September or October), and then twice again one day in May 1978, at a theater that was still showing it after almost a year straight. In the meantime I'd read the novelization and the Marvel comic adaptation, and the Star Wars Storybook, and had started collecting the earliest action figures, as well as the Escape the Death Star boardgame by Parker Brothers, and I had also gotten a few posters around this time too, and maybe a t-shirt or two, so I was pretty much a fan. But I didn't REALLY become a fan until THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK came out in May 1980. That really sent me over the edge, and I became a much more serious fan of the entire saga, and it literally became a major part of my life, especially over the next few years. Today some of my personal friends include people who actually worked on Star Wars at the original Industrial Light & Magic or at Lucasfilm, as well as other fans of the saga who became involved in the film industry in various ways. This movie literally changed or was a major point of so many lives. It's hard to believe this film is 45 years old now. We're coming up on this film's 50th Anniverary in just another five years.
2:52, James Earl Jones voices Vader, while 6'6" bodybuilder David Prowse, 1935-2020, portrayed him.
Welcome to the fandom! Your reaction is how I hope people react when I try getting them introduced to Star Wars.
16:38, Jabba The Hutt. This was a deleted scene that was filmed but was cut, as they hired an actor to play Jabba, while the VFX team tried to bring him to life with Stop Motion, Cel Animation or a puppet.
you should check out what the original versions look like, you're probably watching the most recent version which have been remastered over and over and CGI and SFX added but when when it came out there was almost no effects like that, it was almost all practical
To be fair, some alterations were _improvements_ (e.g. actually seeing the X- and Y-Wings taking off from Yavin IV as opposed to a few flashing white lights off in the distance).
This trilogy is legendary, I'm so glad that you're reacting to it 🙂👍
You, "It was so exciting when it came out." Me: "Yes. Yes it was." And Leia IS a badass. You have no idea.
The movie is perfected with all the sassy R2 closed captions! Finally the best character gets a voice!
5:50* it's called a Dewback, which is a giant lizard that lives in the desert.
Ah yes, an absolute CLASSIC
Thanks for calling it Star Wars, the “A New Hope” was added years later.
The reaction was wonderful, the editing was fire.
"Edited by: Rees Newton-Sealey"
Your editor is awesome! =D
True!
The actors did voice-over to themselves for the whole movie, that was an unexpected choice but it worked.
Now for Episode 5, Episode 6, Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, Bad Batch, and the Book of Boba Fett..
I wasn't interested in Star Wars either, but than I gave it a chance and I am so hooked XDD. It is such a great universe with something for everyone and I hope you will enjoy your journey
Just when I thought you couldn't get any cooler. Thanks for reacting to Star Wars and being hilarious.
About time indeed 😎
3:45, they filmed this on location in Tunisia, Africa, where George Lucas and Steven Spielberg would film RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
Always great to see a "First time watching" reaction to star wars. I also had a few friends who didn't watch it, because they thought it would be bad. But all of them are fans now :D
Princess Leia is kinda badass! Yes, yes she is. Keep in mind Leia is one of the rebel commanders.
My friends and I after seeing this movie back in 1977 assigned the stormtroopers poor performance to them being untrained conscript cannon fodder.
Loved your reaction makes this movie fresh for me.
5:17, yeah they are called Jawas, which were the inspiration for the Minions.
Please watch STAR TREK! 🖖
When I was in high school, my 9th grade English teacher would let us watch Empire Strikes Back on a free day and that movie got me into the saga and its lore after one movie.
Edit: allow me to explain 16:51
This was a lost scene that was added later on with the Special Edition released in theaters in 90s. It had to be reworked nunerous times on the 2006 DVD rerelease.

TO be perfectly clear, the original shot actually had Jabba cast as a human, but it was cut from the initial release, and the revised version years later showed Jabba as the slug-like Hutt we see today, so basically they managed to reflavor the "wonderful human being" bit as banter/sarcasm on Han's part. The Hutts are immensely influential and wealthy crime lords too, so for Han to pull off such bravado in Jabba's face and somehow get away alive, it speaks to how bat shit crazy he really is.
And how much like a son to Jabba he was at one point in time. At this part of the saga some of that affection Jabba felt for Han in books that took place before this still existed.
Im so excited for both the ot and the prequels
And the sequels
This was done on a shoe string budget(11 million). That same year 'Smokey & the Bandit' was also released....a movie with a semi, a firebird, and some clever crashes--it cost 4.5 million. Yet they managed to do ground breaking special effects and real props created from scratch. I was 9 yrs old and this was the first movie my Dad ever took me to see...in a blizzard while we were stationed in Alaska....I'l never forget the impact it had on my youth. I'm going to enjoy watching you react to the rest of the Star Wars you watch. 👍👍
Jedi are definitely the Star Wars equivalent of both Wizards & Knights. The story of SW is heavily inspired by Arthurian fantasies and westerns (especially with Han Solo), but in a sci-fi setting

Wow damn I didn't know any of this info thanks ✌️❤️

5:49* this is the digitally restored version, with new CGI shots.
Angelina just know you can be whatever you put your mind to😊😊😊
Angelina throwing some curse balls in 2022. This was such a wholesome reaction for a Star Wars padawan.
Star Wars AND a sponsor. Ange doin big things
Thank youuu ~
I cannot wait to see you watching Mandalorian and The Book Of Boba Fett
I had the very privilege to enjoy John Williams music live at the Symphony. It’s enough to make a grown man cry.
Dude you're in for a treat!! 🙌
OH MY GOD LETS GOOOOOO YOU FINALLY WATCHED IT I WILL WATCH EVERY STAR WARS COMMENTARY ON REPEAT I SWEAR... just dont watch 7,8,or 9
7 and 8 are ok... 9 wasn't... nor were any of the Prequels.
I didn't like the sequels, but I don't think it's right to make that decision for someone else either. We all have different viewpoints and enjoy different things, maybe she'll love the sequels
"For something made in the 70s, this is pretty fire." This is the movie that set the bar for special effects, with ILM pioneering the field. The effects were mind-blowing for me as a kid in the theater back in the summer of '77, even without the CGI bits that were added 20 years later.
Man, im a huge fan of your chill energy in the ad for this video.
I'm so excited to watch the rest of your reactions to Star Wars, I'm so so so glad you are already In Tune (pun intended lmao) with the music; the hits only keep coming!!! (also, fun fact, Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) is actually apparently wearing house slippers in all his scenes threatening Leia, because the boots made by the costumer were too tight, they just said fuck it we can't wait, we'll just keep the shots high and tight) (edit @23:46 "R2D2 kinda GOATed, kinda OP" FACTS)
I was so happy when I saw this video appear (even though only now despite being subscribed).
The sound of the TIE fighters is indeed a dude screaming. It is actually a sample of the "Howie scream", a famous stock scream sound effect that was used in many movies. Obviously they modified the sound to make it not sound as much as a scream but more like an engine sound.
I'm so excited to watch you discover Star Wars! :D Seeing others enjoy it for the first time always reminds me of the magic of the movies :D
I suggest "Star Trek".
1:40* people got blown away by the beginning! They were cheering and yelling!
"For something made in the 70's this looks pretty fire!" I often say the same about myself. This movie came out a few months after I was born
I really enjoyed your reaction! I've seen Star Wars so many times sometimes I forget what it was like watching it for the first time! You brought back the feels. :)
2:31, that's a cool impression! They used the sound of a scuba mask to make Darth Vader breathe
