"He is the Eeyore of the group." Instant subscribe 😆
I had to double check that I was subscribed when she said
You said it. I'm with you.
Unfortunately Porkins was the Winnie The Pooh of that bunch... RIP buddy.
Never apologize for tearing up over John Williams' score. I first heard it as a 4 year old...and it still gives me goosebumps as a 48 year old.
I love that I scrolled down to make a comment about John Williams and the first comment I saw was already about John Williams. The dude is brilliant and Star Wars would not at all be the same without his score...or any other movie he's scored for that matter.
I agree with this completely! Music holds so much emotion and you feel that. ❤ John Williams is just fantastic
Luke and Leia's theme are some of the most beautiful scores played in cinematic history.
john williams is the goat
The overall quality of the prequels can be debated, but Williams delivered another trilogy of soundtracks every bit as good as the original 3.
"If you knew Luke from way back when, you're not going to make it. They only do new friends here." - Kahla 😂😂😂
Ok I lost it at " He's gone through so much in such a short period of time losin people left and right and now he's just out in space with strangers."
You don’t gotta apologize for crying during the binary sunset scene. Still gets me
I also cry when I hear the music when Obi-Wan tells Luke to use the Force during the climax of the space battle.
"You just got zippity zopped by Obi-Wan". LOL.
“That is her daddy and he is…Unreasonable.”
Star Wars in a nutshell. 😂
Edit: I now know that I was super wrong. The Storm Troopers are not Clone Troopers. Thank you to everyone who cleared that up. Even my own brother corrected me 😂. I guess I’ll see why that is as I go along. ❤️
This movie has gotten me super hyped to watch the other movies in the series! I'm realizing that so much went into making such an innovative world, and I can't wait to read your comments about Star Wars facts to learn more about it.
Your so beautiful Karla
Thank you so much 😊
To quote Ben Kenobi:
"You've taken your first step into a larger world."
Loved your reactions. Can't wait to see your reactions for the next movies.
The transition from clone troopers to stormtroopers doesn't get mentioned in the movies, the closest they get is the reference to the academy earlier in the movie. It does get explored more in some of the serieses though.
they aren't technically but some of them are
"It *is* the hype."
Truer words never spoken.
On the one hand, this was a relatively low-budget movie that was saved by the music and editing. On the other hand, it was groundbreaking in terms of world building and special effects. They built spaceships with model battleship parts from a hobby shop and also invented computer controlled camera mounts for the space battle scenes.
This is true. For example Han solo's gun is a modified C96 broom handle Mauser that they slapped a scope and muzzle on to make it look futuristic. Much TLC was put in the editing and special effects but the actors general idea was that it was going to flop so they had fun and would joke around a lot on set and it ended being much bigger than what they anticipated leading to a cult classic box office duchesse and biggest sci-fi franchise other than star trek and alien.
"Instead of trying to live up to the hype of what was, it is the hype." Love that, Kahla! Thank you for your reaction.
I was 12yo when this movie came out. It was the first time I went to the theater without one of my parents. We went absolutely insane over Star Wars back then. You were right, this was the hype.
The first time Darth Vader is seen in this movie is the first time he was *ever* seen, and it had such a dramatic effect.
Don't worry about tearing up at the music. Music can convey emotions in a way mere words never can. That's one reason opera continues to be so popular, because the music enhances the words being sung.
Luke didn't equate Ben with Obi-Wan because he didn't use the name after he left Luke with his aunt and uncle.
The scene between Han and Jabba was filmed for 'New Hope', using a human actor, but never used. (The Hutts first officially appeared in 'Return of the Jedi', so their look hadn't been determined at this stage.) When the scene was included in the Special Edition, they had to CGI the accepted look over the human actor. This posed a problem when Han walked behind Jabba, so they digitally raised Han, adding a grunt from Jabba as Han stepped on his tail.
By the way, Ewan McGregor studied Alec Guinness' speech patterns when he took the role of Obi-Wan for the prequel trilogy.
C3PO and R2D2 have been described as the Laurel and Hardy of the Star Wars universe.
Pilot Wedge Antilles (Red Two in the trench run) is played by Denis Lawson, the uncle of Ewan McGregor.
As an eight year old boy sitting in the theater in 77. This movie blew my mind. Me and my friends never seen anything like this before.
Yep, I remember the drizzly summer day we all went to see it. I had no idea what we were walking into....
That is what good music does. It’s supposed to reach your soul. And you cannot get much better than the genius that is John Williams. We have been SO lucky to have had him for so long. To have one composer complete the entire 9 films across several decades is miraculous. He is the level to whom all film composers look to - even Zimmer has his John Williams moment in his composing.
The score was a surprise even back then - full on orchestral scores were out of favour. But it’s what Lucas wanted and my God weren’t we lucky?!
Fun fact: The reason why the stormtroopers were made missing all their shots, was because it was intentional. They put a tracker on the ship so that they would lead them to the Rebel base, so it would be pretty counterproductive to kill them, but they didn’t wanna make it seem like they were letting them get away. So they were intentionally shooting and missing. However, if you remember, Leia was still smart enough to pick up the fact that it was too easy and that something was up. Now why stormtroopers still miss their shots in the other movies is beyond me.
Facts. The Stormtroopers get a bad rap. Missing on purpose while your friends are getting shot up around you because the plan is to let the enemy get away is seriously hardcore. Those guys had some iron discipline for that to work. They also kicks ass pretty decisively in Empire. They just steamroll the base on Hoth like there weren't even any defenders there to worry about. It's the stupid teddy bear fight where they actually start to suck, and then it became a meme, and they were doomed.
❤Jabba"sounds like he has phlegm in his throat,& he looks like phlegm in the throat" lol
John Williams has been nominated 54 times for Oscars (2nd most in history to Walt Disney) - only won 5 times, including this- the original Star Wars soundtrack in 1977.
“Wait, the Jawas got got?”
Cracked me up, I had to rewind that part 3 or 4 times!! That belongs on a t-shirt!
Fun fact: The Chewbacca costume that the late, great Peter Mayhew wore was not supposed to get wet in the garbage compactor scene. But it did, and considering the fact that the original suit was made of yak hair, It produced a pretty funky odor.
I was13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre. It was originally just called Star Wars and did not get renumbered until Episode V The Empire Strikes Back was released in Movie Theatres.
Star Wars was ahead of its Time with the Special Effects.
I had always wondered when it was decided to call it Star Wars Episode IV, and it’s definitely apparent that George Lucas was a forerunner in cinematic technology. The fact that it’s still so cool to watch in 2023 is a testament to that.
And a new hope...lol
Incorrect. It was numbered when I saw it in 1977 (which we all found very confusing at the time), but it did start out as unnumbered initially.
OMG! "You just got zippity zop by Obi Wan.."
"The Jawas got got".
Crack me up! Might just be my new favorite reactor!
1. Sir. Alec Guinness/Obi-Wan didn't want the part. Being a Shakespearian actor, he thought the entire idea was silly and was beneath him, but his wife talked him into taking the part.
2. The shrug Chewy gives Luke after he scares the tiny black droid is 🤪
3. These movies were put out in a certain order because there was limited technology and Lucas used and pushed forward the images needed to make a quality product. The best way to watch the is in the order they came out. We had to wait years for the next one. There was no internet where we had access to them whenever we wanted.
4. No need to go into anything after VI. Disney took over and the quality dropped. I realize you have to.
5. The only CGI was put in for the 25th anniversary package in this film are the critters the stormtroopers were riding at the beginning of the search for the robots, a couple of the huge critters outside the pub and the scene with Jabba the Hutt. Those were put in later after CGI was available. Otherwise, everything is what we had in 1977.
6. Obi-Wan sacrificed himself after he told Vader he would be stronger than ever. He went back into the force. He knows it's Luke's job to take over.
7. The awkwardness in the detention space is because Ford didn't know his lines. It was kept in the movie anyway because it worked.
8. The next two are the best of the series. Enjoy
PS: They're not clones, they're stormtroopers.
#7 🤣 Okay now I need to go back and rewatch that scene because that’s hilarious.
It’s absolutely OK to be emotional by the music. If it was not for John Williams, his music, Star Wars wouldn’t of been as big as sex success as it was. John Williams, without a doubt, is one of the best composers of our time. The man was a genius and legend, and did the soundtrack to the majority of the best movies ever made, and if I’m being honest, what I think made the movies great was his music. The man took 2 notes and a cello, and gave you a villain that terrified the world. Speaking of course of his soundtrack for jaws.
The band of Royal Guard in Norway actually plays both the Rebel march and Imperial march when doing their marching and drilling. It is excellent music.
Well, I like the music and all...but I don't know what John Williams' sexual exploits have to do with it.
sex success?
@@supermot34 absolutely you don't think that music is sexy. Get your hands on the karmasutra and the original tree soundtracks grab hold of your partner and you're in for the great weekend lol.
@@blanketstarry7725 disagree his sexual exploits would have everything to do with it. Why do you think there's so much drumming and loud brass. Creative people draw from every aspect of their life to create what they're going to create and your sexual exploits are a big part of that. The fact you don't think so makes me think you're not very creative.
Every time I see the opening scroll, it takes me back to when I was 11, watching this movie in the theater.
Please bear in mind, that this was 1977. We were mesmerized by the special effects. The fact that the movie was well-written was almost secondary. We were used to a far lower level of quality effects. I remember being in the Cub Scouts on a campout. We all taped flashlights to sticks and had our own epic battles in the woods...with our version of lightsabers.
Cub Scouts still do it, too. Some things never change.
Masking one self from the Force is what the Emperor used to not be detected by the Jedi until it was too late if you remember the prequels you watched.
The Jedi were like Templar monks, they also have a civilian branch that acts like the Church but with the Whills of the Force as divinities and the Force as their vector through which they express themselves.
Clones were replaced by Stormtroopers because clones were super expansive and hard to produce fast. Stormtroopers are conscripts and most of them are not that well trained. Plus the Force is the biggest plot armor device you could find and protects the main characters until their purpose is fullfilled.
The guy with the cheekbones who is vaders boss is Peter cushing, and absolute GIANT in the horror movie world!!! He was a regular in many dracula, frankenstein, mummy movies and many many more from the 50s right to the 90s... a genuine legend and a really really nice gentle man.... his best friend was Christopher Lee (who played dracula in his movies) who played count dooku in star wars 2 and 3... he also played sauraman in the Lord of the rings films.... for star wars, Peter always wore his slippers for his scenes for comfort, which for me makes him much less threatening when I watch this movie!!!
"Yeah, thats true. Its a version of the truth...."
I'm dying.
Girl, getting teary eyed at the score is the absolute correct response, especially to the sun scene.
I LOVE that the score evokes so much emotion for you! I feel exactly the same. Star Wars was there when my life was good, bad, or indifferent. It grounded me. Gave me hope. Comforted me when I had nothing else. It’s pure. And to this day, I get Misty over the score. The moments. The calls to action. The hero’s journey. It’s truly special.
Your understandings of ,"Star Wars", "The Force" and "Han Solo"'s point of view, are phenomenal! 💯👍🏾
Luke: "I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father."
Kahla: Not just like your Daddy, let's leave some of the stuff your Daddy did out."
Leia: "You had a plan for geting in, didn't you have a plan for getting out?"
Kahla: "You can't be picky about the rescue, Miss Ma'am, you were about to die."
Kahlah [when our heroes are in the trash masher]: "So it's not just solid trash, it's wet trash with a thang-thang in it." 🤣❤ Miss Kahla, you are fast becoming one of my favorite reactors!
Welcome to the world of Star Wars.
I will give some information for a better understanding of the universe.
The Empire is a huge state that includes many planets and extends to most of the known galaxy, not counting some of the systems at the far edge. Initially, the empire was a constitutional monarchy, whose political affairs were governed not only by the emperor, but also by the senate, which includes a representative from each planet belonging to the empire, but after the creation of the Death Star, the senate was dissolved and power finally passed into the hands of the Emperor. Initially, the Empire was a galactic republic, but as a result of a series of events, the Lord of the Sith came to power, who proclaimed himself emperor (you will learn more about this in the prequels)
Now about the structure of the Force, in this period of time, the two most powerful and well-known orders of forseusers are the Sith and the Jedi, they came from one ancient order of force users who served both its aspects - the Dark and the Light side. The dark and light side of the force are not the good and evil side, they represent two different currents of force and were named by members of the very first order in honor of the two moons that were satellites of the planet where this order was based, one was made of white stone, the other of black. This ancient order practiced a balance between the sides, the light one is more calm and creative, the dark one is more emotional and destructive. But over time, this order banned the study of the dark side of the force and focused on the light side, becoming the Jedi Order from the time. Once there was a split within the order and some members of the supreme Council were exiled to unknown regions of the galaxy because of the desire to study the dark side of the force. These fallen Jedi found the planet Korriban (or Morraband), where a humanoid undeveloped red-skinned race lived, which had a huge connection with the dark side. The fallen Jedi quickly subdued this race, which called itself the Sith, after which they named themselves the Sith Lords, creating a new order of force users, which was focused only on the dark side. With the passage of time, several major wars occurred between the newly created Sith Empire and the Old Republic, which included the Jedi as guardians of peace and justice. As a result, the Sith were almost destroyed several times, losing wars due to constant betrayals and internecine power struggles. But then a Sith lord was born, named Darth Bane, he created the rule of two, the rule that there can only be two Sith master and apprentice, a master to embody power, apprentice to reach for this power. When an apprentice becomes more powerful than a master, he kills him and takes his place, taking a new apprentice, the Sith were forced to go underground, but began to develop thanks to this. Darth Bane, after creating this rule, killed all the remaining Sith, becoming a master and taking a girl as an apprentice, who eventually killed him and, taking his place, continued the path of the Rule of Two.
Sith and Jedi have opposite ideologies and philosophies, and most importantly - an attitude to the Force, Jedi serve the force, cutting themselves off from everything mundane, they are forbidden to take wives or husbands, have children, have property, nothing should cause affection and emotions and distract from serving the Force. Emotions lead to the dark side of the force, so the Sith raise their emotions to the absolute, they feed on them, most often hatred and rage, as one of the most powerful emotions, but also any other, if the Jedi serve the force like monks, then the Sith use the force to get what they want. Even the powers of the dark side and the light side are different, the light side is more creative and protective (force push, mind deception), when the dark side is more destructive and aggressive (force choke, force lightning)
Now to the more relevant:) At the moment, thanks to political intrigues, the Sith lord Darth Sidious gained power over the galaxy, after which, with the help of his apprentice Darth Vader, he almost destroyed the Jedi Order, the Jedi are forced to hide without having contact with each other in the hope of someday being able to fight back.
Oh yes, well, the names of the Sith Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, etc. are not names given at birth, they receive them when they join the order, the prefix Darth literally means Lord in the language of the Sith.
The code of the sith
Peace is a lie. There is only Passion.
Through Passion, I gain Strength.
Through Strength, I gain Power.
Through Power, I gain Victory.
Through Victory my chains are Broken.
The Force shall free me
The code of the Jedi
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
Alright young lady, I subscribed. Now I can't stress enough that I Can Not wait a whole month in between these Star Wars reactions! 😂
I saw this in the theater when I was 7 years old in 1977 and I really enjoyed your reaction :)
John Williams is one in a million. He has been a part of some of the most memorable movies. This one in particular is my absolute favorite.
'Food in Star Wars never looks appetizing.' They live on a desert planet! There is nothing there. Luke's uncle Owen and his aunt Beru are moisture farmers! They are lucky to have anything to eat at all.
What they were drinking is called Blue Milk. It is made from the milk of female Banthas. A large hairy elephant like creature. It looks kind of like a bull crossed with an elephant. It has large curly horns.
"He sounds like he's got phlegm in his throat, but he looks like phlegm that would be in a throat." That is hilarious. You are hilarious. LOL
"They only do new friends here." ROFL
Yeah I don't know that ethics were a real priority with the Jawas..🤣 great reaction girl
😂
@6:10 Music has the ability to move us to tears without us knowing why. I remember the first time it happened to me. When I was a young child, my parents and I saw Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops perform Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. I didn’t understand why I was crying at the time, but I’ll never forget it.
Yes, it did occur to Luke that Leia was looking for Old Ben. It’s the first thing he says after hearing her mention a Kenobi.
You’re right. In the moment I didn’t consider that
Han: "Damn fool, I knew that you were gonna say that."
Obi Wan: "I know you are but what am I?"
I love watching people fall in love with Star Wars. Great reaction.
May young people never stop taking that first step into a larger world
I was 6 in '77 and seen this at the Lakewood Drive-In here in Indiana on a hot July night under a blanket of stars! Never forget it!
@5:10 “Help me, Augie ‘Ben’ Doggie. You’re my only hope.” - Princess Anne-Droid, Hardware Wars (1978). 😁
Relax, kid, it's only a movie. - Ham Salad
Star Wars score composer John Williams was arguably inspired by English composer Gustav Holst, particularly his "The Planets".
"The Force will be with you, always."
Fun Fact: The first movie to make over $300 million domestic box office. It was also the first movie to cross $500 million worldwide in its initial release.
Action Star Fact: Stunt doubles were not used for the scene where Luke and Leia swing to safety in the Death Star. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher performed the stunt, shooting it in just one take.
CGI Over Practical Fact: All the CGI was added in the late 90s and NOT part of the original release. I don't mind the changes, except for originally Han Solo (Harrison Ford) shot Greedo (Paul Blake) before the bounty hunter could do anything.
Gun Enthusiast Fact: The weapons the stormtroopers used were essentially the Sterling L2A3 9mm SMG (sub-machine gun), a military weapon developed in the late 1940s in the U.K. and adopted by the British and Canadian Armies in the 1950s. The curved left entry side mounted magazine was removed, and that was as much as it was modified for the movie. The longer sandtrooper weapon was the MG-34 machine gun from Germany.
Location Location Fact: The Tatooine scenes were filmed in Tunisia. There is a town in Tunisia's rural south named Tataouine (Berber for "eyes") and George Lucas liked the name so much, he adopted it for Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) home world. Some of the interiors and the courtyard of Luke's house were filmed in a hotel in Matmata, Tunisia. One can visit this two-star hotel and see some pictures and the painted ceiling of what was used for the Lars' dining room. When Luke goes out of the farm, he appears in a flat deserted area, while the reality, when you get out of the hotel, there are a lot of other houses, small stone hills, and a lot of prickly pear cacti (a variety very common in Tunisia). The skeleton that C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) passes belongs to a Tatooine creature called a Greater Krayt Dragon. This artificial skeleton was left in the Tunisian desert after filming and still lies there. During filming of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones (2002), the site was visited by the crew once more and the skeleton was still there.
Loved your appreciation for the beautiful score. Some reactors pass over that and it always bothers me. Enjoyed your reaction!
Some of the most intelligent comments I've ever heard about this movie.
I always tear up during Luke's theme song and I grew up watching these movies my whole childhood. Its such a beautiful piece of music. Sad, longing and hopeful.
Luke's friend Biggs (Red Three) was in a deleted scene near the beginning of the movie, it was removed because it slowed the story down but it does add a lot to his character and gives his death more weight.
Oh my God.,.....I laughed out loud, so hard. His sharp cheekbones he's for sure a villain. You're so beautiful and utterly hilarious. Thank you ❤
Lololol
"You were askin for it... Now you got zippity zopped by Obi-wan."
Ok, that was a great take on that scene, and you got a new subscriber
The character "wedge" who flew the xwing next to luke but had to leave the battle is in all three original movies and he also happens to be Ewen macgregors (young obi wan) uncle and encouraged him into acting...
"Frisson" is an amazing thing, isn't it? That's the name of the physical response you had to the music that caused you to cry - I found out about it after getting into anime a few years ago. Not everyone can feel that.
I saw this on the big screen as a young lad of sixteen and it was amazing. I must have gone to see it six or seven times. It was a sensation. Great stories do that. Great reaction.
The stormtroopers are not clones. Palpatine got rid of the clones in between the trilogies.
In this movie, there's a reason why the stormtroopers on the Death Star can't hit a barn door -- they've been instructed to let the intruders go so that the _Millennium Falcon_ can lead the Empire to the Rebels, they're only shooting at them at all so they don't get suspicious and find the tracking device. Unfortunately, the subsequent movies keep the poor aim without the justification.
Ah, okay thank you! This helps me fill in the gaps a bit more.
Yeah, eventually the bad shooting hit explained by saying the helmets suck and that the new troopers are poorly trained.
Basically, the clones were elite soldiers. And the stormtroopers are like a bunch of stupid, bumbling street cops. Quantity over quality.
@@Progger11 which doesn't explain why, at the start of this movie, Obi-Wan knew the hit on the Jawas wasn't done by Tuskens because "only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise." Stormtroopers were supposed to be _good_ fighters. The problem was the story demanded the good guys win despite being outnumbered, and that meant the bad guys had to keep missing.
6:00 me too, me too. it sounds so magical and the actual meaning of that scene is yearning for a greater life, the score accompanies it beautifully
Comparing the Jawas to GameStop!!!! I think I’m in love!!!! ❤❤❤🤣🤣
Amazing reacrion. Thank you. 24:24 please remember this scene and the next ones. It wasn't mentioned here in your video, but Mon Mothma said a very important thing: "Many Bothans died to bring us this information." Please keep this in mind when watching Rough One
I saw this in the theater the first weekend of its release in 1977. You had to be there then. The closest to this in special effects before had been 2001: A Space Odyssey, and that had been a whole decade earlier. On the big screen, that first scene of the star destroyer taking ten seconds to pass overhead immediately told us that we were in for a spectacle we'd never experienced before. You're right, there's a different feeling when you're watching The Original Hype that everything else is trying to live up to.
That crushing wall trap was an old, well-used trope in sci fi movies. Also, they're not fighting Clone troopers in this movie, they're fighting Storm Troopers. The Emperor had phased out the clones in favor of naturally born humans by this time.
I'm going to give you some different advice from most people: Make your next Star Wars movie Rogue One, and Andor after that. Then do episodes 5 and 6. You'll thank me later for that order of watch.
Thanks for clearing up the Clone troopers vs. the storm troopers. There's definitely a huge gap in my Star Wars knowledge. Also, I can't imagine how cool it must have been to watch this for the first time on the big screen when all of this was brand new.
What does the force and duct tape have in common?
There's a light side, a dark side, and it binds the universe together
I got a real kick out of this reaction. You have my "sub." 😁👍
"They only do new friends here" had me rolling
I’ve seen a lot of reaction videos. I’m really enjoying yours. Honest replies and on point. Thanks for making them.
I was 11 when A New Hope was released, and 14 when The Empire Strikes Back was released. I lover ANH and had never looked forward so much to a sequel in my life, not even to this day. To say I was not disappointed is a massive understatement. I was floored, like most everyone else.
It’s been great reliving these cinematic moments of mastery. And you’re right about the soundtrack, John Williams went above and beyond, and Lucas had said as much, back in the day.
The old joke is: Stormtroopers and Star Trek Red Shirts get in a fight. The Stormtroopers miss every shot but the Red Shirts die anyway.
so if you pay attention in this movie they set up multiple times that the targeting computer can't make the shot, they even show it. God this is such a good screenplay.
As others have said, never feel the need to apologise from getting emotional by star wars/movie music. The score was created by the extremely talented John Williams, whatever film he works on always turns into a masterpiece as he has done Jaws, Indiana Jones, Home Alone, Harry Potter, E.T., Jurassic Park, Superman to name a few. On IMDB he has worked on 174 TV/movies since 1954, he is 92 now and still working.
@13:11 Her description of Jabba is hysterical. 🤣
This is set, about (18) years after the Jedi where destroyed, and the Clones have been disbanded and just like too many Veterans where left to fend for themselves.
Wow, my experience was the opposite, Darth Vader scared me as a child, and once I saw his back story, I fell for Anikan, and I would never want to experience it any other way.
Kahla, I was in high school the summer this came out and my buddies bought the soundtrack (on LP) and we blasted it through 3 foot tall speakers all summer long. It was Glorious! 😄 Thanks for sharing this one.
Yeah Star wars music is sum of the greatest music ever made
Fun reaction :)
Regarding the stormtrooper's accuracy:
1. These are not clones. The Empire phased out the Clones over the 20 years that separate Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. The Empire's stormtrooper are regular soldiers (volunteers and conscripts) that have become members of a special Elite branch of the Empire's military. Unlike the Imperial army and navy, they answer directly to imperial high command.
2. Despite no longer being Mandalorian Clones, Stormtroopers are still deadly effective and you can get a glimpse of that during the very first battle aboard Leia's ship and how they massacred the Jawas. The reason why they can't hit the heroes for sh*t is mostly a case of plot armor.
On the Death Star, they were under orders to let the rebels escape. A tracking device isn't much good if the crew is dead!
Star Wars reaction?!?! I HIT THE LIKE BUTTON!
I’ve watched at least a couple dozen reactions to this film and this is my new favorite one.🙂 you made me laugh a lot of times with your chill sense of humor! Please make a hundred videos in the next few weeks 😉 You rock 🙂🔥
Great reaction! Don't listen to anyone complaining about you watching the prequels first. The watch order doesn't really matter. However, each watch order is a unique experience. The "Machete order" is one that's gaining popularity, especially since there are more movies and TV shows to add. There will be an eternal debate as to what order to watch, but since you have seen some of the movies already, and you know the biggest reveals, it's perfectly okay for you to watch the Machete order. Anyone telling you that you have to continue with Release order is just gatekeeping your experience. The best part about Machete order is that it's customizable. You can just watch the movies, or you can add in some TV shows, or you can add animated shows. It's all up to you. Eventually, you'll get around to watching everything anyway.
If you wanted to do the Machete Order of the first 6 films, then this is the order:
Ep. 4: A New Hope
Ep. 5: Empire Strikes Back
Ep. 1: The Phantom Menace
Ep. 2: Attack of the Clones
Ep. 3: Revenge of the Sith
Ep. 4: ANH (again)
Ep. 5: ESB (again)
Ep. 6: Return of the Jedi
I recommend watching ANH and ESB again to see how it all fits together, but do it on your own time. No need to record those reactions, but please record your reactions to the movies you've already watched as a kid.
If you wanted to add in the live action TV shows and 2 standalone films, then this would be the order:
Ep. 4: ANH
Ep. 5: ESB
Ep. 1: TPM
Ep. 2: AotC
Ep. 3: RotS
Solo: A Star Wars Story
Obi-Wan Kenobi series
Andor series
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Ep. 4 ANH(again)
Ep. 5 ESB (again)
Ep. 6: RotJ
If you wanted to add in the animated shows, in addition to all live action stuff, then this is the order:
Ep. 4: ANH
Ep. 5: ESB
Ep. 1: TPM
Ep. 2: AotC
Clone Wars animated movie
Clone Wars animated Seasons 1-7 (but save the last 4 episodes of S7 for after Ep. 3)
Ep. 3: RotS
CW S7: last 4 episodes
Tales of the Jedi animated
Bad Batch animated S1-2
Solo
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Rebels animated S1-4
Andor
Rogue One
Ep. 4: ANH (again)
Ep. 5: ESB (again)
Ep. 6: RotJ
Think of everything that takes place between Ep. 1 and Ep. 6 as Phase 1. Phase 2 would be everything afterwards. After you watch Ep. 6: RotJ, then this would be Phase 2:
Mandalorian S1-2
Book of Boba Fett series
Mandalorian S3
Ahsoka series
Skeleton Crew (coming out 2024)
Ep. 7: The Force Awakens
Ep. 8: The Last Jedi
Resistance animated S1-2 (S1 takes place before and during TFA and S2 takes place during and a bit after TLJ so it makes sense to watch them after the two movies)
Ep. 9: The Rise of Skywalker
I promise, all this is not confusing. It only seems like it. The point of Phase 1 is to enjoy RotJ as the finale of that era, with everything that comes before as more context. Remember, it's up to you. There is no right or wrong way to watch SW. But there are unique ways that may be more enjoyable.
And of course, it's good to emphasize one more time, that there's no need to watch all of the series and spin-off films (the Sequel Trilogy included) if you don't want to. Watch what you want or think you'll enjoy. There's no need to burn yourself out on the whole franchises' massive scale.
@@Duskof81 Not only will she watch everything, at her own pace, but she'll enjoy it all as well. EVERY SINGLE NEW FAN enjoys the stuff that old farts with 40 years of baggage can't seem to enjoy. Kinda explains a lot if you think about it.

25:18 wait... that is... a pop culture reference to something LATER ON in this movie! XD Haha, that is amazing!
your comments on the movie are even better cuz you seen the other ones.. i like it.. great job.. thanks.. i'm subscribing
It's not you; the score for the binary sun shot and Luke looking off is a tear-inducer even for dudes.
I was 9 years old and dirt poor from the hood (Pacoima) in NE Los Angeles. Seeing Luke go from that dirt hole house, then the bar that was ready to go off at any moment, & the heavily patrolled town all the way to blowing up The Death Star really meant something. To try to describe how mind-blowing the transition in quality from the pre-Star Wars ERA to post-Star Wars ERA is almost futile!
I already subscribed and liked your video right from the very beginning because to me that is the most important part of the movie already that the newer movies don't have and that's substance, emotion and dialogue between two characters. looking forward to seeing the rest of your reactions!!
Your reaction made me smile and laugh a few times thank you 🙏❤️🙏 the next one empire strikes back is my favorite of all of them
'...so...flippin' awesome.'
In all honesty, I think the reputation of storm troopers being bad shots is a bit undeserved. If we could add laser beam graphics to all bullets (so we can see the bullets) to virtually any video of cops/bad guys shootouts, or military gun battles, we would see that in real life just as many misses are made. It is not easy at all to hit what you want to hit in any sort of shootout.
I adore your humor.
I love sharing trivia, so here's a juicy piece of Star Wars history, there's a deleted scene from the beginning of this movie where Luke talks to his pal Biggs, and Biggs tells him about his plans to join the rebels. It got cut out for pacing reasons.
Matter of fact, the scene of Luke and Biggs being reunited before the attack on the Death Star was also deleted, but I guess George Lucas regretted that since he put it back in some time around 1997, and that scene's been re-included ever since.
Chewie looks the same… his fur is shinier. Spit my drink out!
I love your attitude of 'oh no, I wouldn't be getting involved in this' and sympathising with Han's mercenary ways (he didn't ask for this!). And yeah, John Williams is amazing. Thank you :)
For context, the stormtroopers are not clones. Without spoiling anything the Empire decided to stop using clones after a while and start recruiting instead cause it was cheaper. Clone troopers have a long history in Star Wars and it's been established in subsequent material that they are more capable and effective than stormtroopers who are basic foot soldiers.
It's never explored in the movies, but the clones are some of the most interesting characters in the modern Star Wars franchise
Oh sure, Uncle Owen told Luke that his father had been a navigator on a spice freighter. When this movie came out, we didn't know that "spice" is the galaxy's drug of choice, so basically they told Luke his dad was a working as a drug runner.
Many people knew, since Lucas took it directly from Dune, winner of the Nebula Award in 1966
I was living up at South Lake Tahoe when this first premiered back in 1977. With very little fanfare, but a butt-load of free publicity, it opened with lines around the block. I think I must've seen it at least 18 times in theaterPeople BBED & hissed when Darth Vader made his first appearance. Later that summer, we got more great movies including Saturday Night Fever, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind & I wish you could have been there to experience it like we all did.
It's so hard to explain to young people the shared experience of seeing a film in a theater when it was the only way possible to have that experience. STAR WARS is the only film to take that experience and create not only a new universe but a new mythology.
(The sketch begins in the Jedi Council where the Jedi Masters discuss a meeting regarding Anakin Skywalker.)
Yoda: Much fear I sense in young Anakin. To be trained as a Jedi, he must not be.
Mace Windu: He could bring balance to the Force.
Yoda: Correct you are.
Yarael Poof: I thought you said that would be bad!
Yoda: From the prophecy, that boy could be.
Yarael Poof: Can I ask what the prophecy is? Why is that something I don't know?
Mace Windu: I will tell him of the Council's decision tomorrow.
Yarael Poof: Oh, so it's a Council now? It's not just the two of you? (turns to Oppo Rancisis) What about you, Dogface? Did you know that now it was a Council?!
(Cut to behind Mace and Yoda. Yarael Poof leans his head to the right to listen.)
Yoda: Inform the Senate, we must. Of our lessened ability to use the Force.
Yarael Poof: WHO can't use the Force now?! I can still use the Force!
(Cut back to Yarael Poof.)
Yarael Poof: Let's put that one to a vote because I don't even know what that means! (timidly) Does anyone realize that I'm talking?
(Yoda and Mace Windu look at each other.)
Mace Windu: Enough for today. We should eat.
Yoda: Getting pizza, Yarael Poof should do. All in favor?
Jedi Council: Aye!
(Poof sighs and puts his head down between his knees. His head gets back up.)
Yarael Poof: I just got the coffee yesterday. I submitted the receipt, have yet to be reimbursed.Is anyone else having this issue?! But, oh, look! If it's the will of the Council, then I'll go!
Jedi Council: Aye!
Yarael Poof: Fine! Listen, Yaddle, I'm going to need to borrow your car!
Yaddle: Um, in the shop it is?
Yarael Poof: I just saw it downstairs.
Yaddle: (mumbles) Well, you know... insurance.
(Cut to entire Jedi Council.)
Yarael Poof: Okay, I am going. I'm one of twelve Jedi in the whole galaxy on the Jedi Council. And today it is my job to get the pizza. Sure! Yeah, my parents, they're very proud.
(Poof leaves, and the screen cuts to static.)
Binary Sunset music gets me every time. 😢 BTW it’s fun watching a movie with you 😊
This and Empire Strikes Back are so beautifully made it sometimes makes me cry rewatching them. Just a perfect symphony, with every note in harmony with each other. Sadly, the franchise turned south soon after. But we'll always have SW & Empire.
I didn't like the Ewoks when I first saw them in the theater, but over the years I realized that Lucas wanted to tell a film from a child's point of view in order to give more impact and meaning to the dialogue between Luke and Vader and the unmasking of Annakin.
The guilt tripping is strong with this one 😂😂😂
23:15 thats impressive for someone who watch this the first time yes Obi-Wan became one with the force
That sunset scene with Luke and the music has that effect on people pretty much universally. You grew up with this. Imagine seeing a light saber for the first time.....ever. I will NEVER forget seeing the Millennium Falcon make the jump to light speed for the first time. I turned to look at my dad and he was looking at me with the same expression. It was epic. Knowing this was the first episode in release order, how 'bout that Ewan McGregor and his efforts to sound like Sir Alec Guiness' elder Ben Kenobi? The only way to suppress the First is in the presence of ysalamiri, a lizard-like creature that repels the Force. A good place for a Jedi to hide would be on a planet with these creatures. The practical effects are all the more amazing when you realize the Death Star was built using battleship model kits.
Before the prequels, I'm almost certain nobody knew that Vader was best friends with C3PO and R2D2.
Love your energy 😊 love your reaction 🎉 The score is beautiful. It still sparks emotion in me to this very day. Keep going & keep growing.
Damn I never thought about how it would be hard to see your favorite character turn to the dark side.
26:00 - not even the great Darth Vader could escape Luke's curse
