I’ll say this about the originals vs prequels, the originals are so much better in the lego games, especially the original, original levels before the skywalker saga lego game. But the lego star wars clone wars game is fun as well, and I kinda like the force awakens game as well, simply cause it’s very relaxing to explore the vast different planets, while listening to the ambient music in the background, the gameplay and story, of course, isn’t the fun part of that game.
Anakin never knew Padme was pregnant with twins and they gave her a baby bump for her funeral so that everyone would think the baby died with her. So he didn’t know about Leia.
-Great reaction. 👍 -Vader finds out about Leia near the end of Jedi. It's the whole reason Luke flips out on him. -There's 19-20 years between Sith and the original Star Wars.
Appreciate it! I forgot that that is when Vader finds out about Leia. I wish she had a more prominent role as the chosen ones daughter in the movies. - Blake
I've watched a number of Star Wars: A New Hope reactions recently and the idea that there are so many people out there who've never seen it is starting to make me feel old. The file came out when I was 10 years old and as I grew up almost everyone in that generation and the majority in generations either side had seen it; the number of people around now who haven't just feels odd.
The original triology is just unmatched in LEGO gaming form, the prequels and sequels never worked well in LEGO, clone wars is just fun to play, and force awakens is only good for walking around the big open worlds and listening to the music.
Lucas noted that since Anakin and Luke mirror each other, the way they were nurtured also affects the people they became. Specifically how they handled the death of a loved one.
Well I saw this in 77 at 11 years old. We walked into it knowing nothing and thought it was just a one time stand alone movie. I can remember in about 79 my parents friends bringing up that star wars was something called episode IV and being confused what that meant. My dad actually had a bootlegged vhs copy of it (almost wore that tape out) but it only had "Star Wars" for the opening, no "episode IV" which left us still confused. We assumed it would simply be the beinging of the over all story and any more movies should simply be parts II and III and so forth.
I was 13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre. It was originally just called Star Wars because George Lucas did not know if he would be allowed to show more Episodes, It was renumbered Episode IV in 1980 when Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. Those Movies were the Middle part of the Three Trilogies he wanted to do. The Special Effects were ahead of its time.
Funny but I actually saw Empire before this one as a kid so I was a little lost at the time. Crazy to think how much content has come out since this- a movie many thought would bomb 😆
❤It’s “Sir Alec Guinness”…prolific British actor known as “The man of a thousand faces.” Ewan McGregor did an obsessive deep dive of his films in order to get the accent and mannerisms just right.
Wow I just heard say there's more cgi and another say it use to look worse before, like a knife to the heart. I will never forgive them for not just remastering or cleaning up the image with out adding all the cgi. I literally bought the first release of Star Wars series on DVD (had the vhs set before) because I wanted the original cut of the movie, I get mad every time I watch this version. Also this reinforces that the movies need to be watched in release order when viewing for the first time. I also used to watch these movies with my dad (before the special cgi revision ever happened) he passed a way when I was 7 but when I watch them it always makes me think of those times we watched together.
A few years back I bought the dvd for each of these movies and each case had the original and updated version. I always say to those who borrow my dvds to only watch the original versions. Hated the updated Jabbas Palace version with a passion.
If they made the cgi seamless, like it could have been part of the original release in 1977, it might be fine. But they didn't, it's quite obvious cgi added later, sticks out like a sore thumb. To do that, they have to add the right amount of from grain etc etc. If you want to see this done perfectly, check out the director's cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In 1979, the movie was released in an incomplete state because they fell behind. So 20 years later, they fixed numerous problems with the fx. The difference is, they made the new fx match the film stock of the original. They also didn't add anything that wasn't planned and feasible in the late 70s.
“Hello there” I was born in 2008 but my earliest memories of movies were of Star Wars. It was my grandfather who showed them to me and I’ve loved them ever since. Also my favorite character if you couldn’t tell by my profile pic is Obi-Wan or space Jesus. On a unrelated note my favorite tv show growing up was Pokémon
Nahh. I think chronological works very well and gives things more meaning. Plus the ending of Return Of The Jedi is so much more satisfying when watching in chronological order.
Yeah, what makes star wars special is the jumping around in the story every time a new part is released, almost. Watching in release date order, seeing the trailers and trailer reactions, watching behind the scenes, celebration panels, and so on, is the whole fan part of star wars, instead of just watching it in cronological order, like everything else. So yeah, always watch star wars in release order.
I definitely recommend watching in release order at least first time. That's the way the story was told and various reveals only work that way. Also, A New Hope was a banging fun movie. If you start with The Phantom Menace... well personally, I found it beyond dull and even if I started the next one, good chance I would never watch another frame of Star Wars.
@@BiyondoBāsudeiWatching A New Hope already knowing that Vader, Luke, and Leila are related steals the magic out of the film. The reason A New Hope was so amazing for so many decades is because of the mystery of these random characters suddenly thrust upon us. A strange masked man dressed in black, a princess on some mission, and a farm boy on a desert planet. The mystery of it all was so intriguing. Watching chronological order definitely steals the thunder from 4 and 5. And the redemption of Darth Vader was so powerful to me growing up. I never needed prequels to feel the magnitude of Luke and Anakin talking face to face before the Death Star blowing up.
19:07 that was the cry of a Kryat Dragon, one of the most fiercest animals on Tatooine. There is a live (CGI) version shown in he Mandalorian series. There is also a skeleton of one shown a few times in the desert scenes here.
While Lucas says he didn't come up with the Father twist until Episode 5, I sometimes doubt that, as there are several seeds of it in Episode 4 already. -Owen scared of Luke being like his father -Obi-Wan's blank hesitation before saying what happened -Vader feeling Luke the only time they're near each other -Obi-Wan and Vader not mentioning their dead "friend" at all -Vader being an expert pilot like Obi-Wan said Luke's father was
@@marievjing Realistically, if any villain was going to survive, Darth Vader is easily the most obvious choice irrespective of Vader being Luke's father.
@@_MjG_ Yes but star wars a new hope was supposed to be a one-shot movie with no sequels intented. So it's pretty curious that they let a main vilain survive
May of ‘77 dad was out of town working in Texas and when he came back he said “we have to go see this new movie”, had no idea what it was. Fast forward 33 times over the next year… I saw it a bit. Have 1 of the stubs and the 33 (vinyl) soundtrack EP that was sold at the theater then. Same thing for all my OG action figures, including the mail away Boba Fett pre-Empire. I was 7-8 at the time and needless to say, it was one of THE defining parts of my childhood. That and MTV are probably the most impactful things that made us who we are. Well, and that whole Soviet Union Cold War thing, but that’s made a comeback so y’all get to experience it first hand. Makes me happy new generations are taking to these as much as we did then.
20:11 technically Obi Wan never did own R2-D2 or C-3PO. R2-D2 first belonged to Padame and then Anakin while C-3PO first belonged to Anakin and then to both of them while they were married. They both then belonged to Captain Antilles of the Tantive VI, the ship Leia tried to escape in and that Vader captured at the start of the movie.
11:19 That's actually a good theory. I always figured they knew Leia was both a senator a high-ranking rebel, a valuable hostage with valuable intel, like the location of The Rebel Base. 31:52 - "why there's a cut" Plan A was that the lightsaber blade was plastic wrapped in reflective tape. When it "ignites" a prop guy actually swaps out the hilt with an "ignited" lightsaber. The results were less than what they hoped for and animating the blades in post turned out to be a simple effective solution (and they could make them different colors!) Later, in the Death Star, Obi-wan "ignites" his blade by starting out with the blade pointed directly toward camera so you can't see that the blade is there. He then turns it so you can see the blade from the side
An example of Lucas setting up the lore so early, some deleted footage of the Death Star conference has that one mouthy Imperial also complain about a Sith Lord being in the room.
If you guys are TRULY dedicated 'Star Wars' Nerds, then you definitely need to check out the National Public Radio Audiodrama versions of the OT. (Released in 1980, 1983 and 1996, respectively) Considering the limitations of audio tech from the era, at least the first two, they are very evocative & from an audio effects standpoint, are as good as the films. The performances are excellent, though very few of the original actors return. Mark Hamill & Anthony Daniels being the only ones. But the acting is good enough that that ceases to be an issue before long. One small bit that is far better than the film is that when Leia's entire Homeworld is destroyed, she actually SOUNDS like someone who has had their entire life ripped from them. They also 'show' her being tortured and that's well done enough it might be triggering for some. But the best thing about those adaptions (and until Disney... uh... 'changed' things, they were considered Canon), is that they have tons of extra story that was not in the films. From Scenes that take place before the movies and many other bits that enhance our understanding of events. And that only makes sense, as the adaption of 'A New Hope' is NINE HOURS long.
@@Galvatronover Even when he's not doing much, he's right in the middle of everthing. There was the one movie where he was basically comatose for the whole thing, but then the story was all about waking him up.
Some trivia - The actor that played Commander Tarkin (Peter Cushig) has a few shots where the shot of him started from the knees up. His costume boots were brutally tight, and the budget did not allow him to have boots for a better fit, so, he was not wearing shoes in some of the shots where you don't see his knees .
In 1977 there was no CGI. The dialog makes the Kenobi vs Vader fight epic. Not CGI, nor speed, nor flash. Any kid from the 70s or 80s can quote that entire fight from the ‘You should not have come back…’. Think about the fact that the original audience had to wait YEARS between films to find out what happened next. Han always shoots first (no matter what later editions claim). Wedge is awesome. Your analysis was fun and thought provoking (except for the beating the dead Bantha of the mediocre D+ series).
The clone wars y wings were 2 seaters. The rebel y wings ripped out the rear seat to add in more up to date tech and automated the rooftop ion turret. It's also why they stripped off the armour to add better engines and power distributors and to make the ship light enough to act as a tactical fighter bomber where the clone wars era version was a strategic fighter-bomber.
Please, tell me that you spotted those two bullies of the cantina also in Rouge One!. Great reaction as always guys, it´s much enjoyable to watch you react for the first and also 💪for the hundred time all together!. 😃♥ I´m 50 y.o. and I don´t get tired of all this. Have a good 2.024!, my best regards from Argentina.
🤖 Love this . “Trying to become a han - duo “ quote by Corey lol 😂 . I had a bad day but thanks gentlemen. You made it better . Can’t wait for my favorite-return of the Jedi baby . Great job by all of you not giving up any spoilers. So fun 😉💙❤️🦬🦋
You should have watched the original theatrical cut. Many added special FX added in this re-release. Han shoots him in cold blood. Guido never shot at all.
in the original that came out in theaters the bounty hunter credo never shot at han when lucas re did the original he had the bounty hunter shoot first so han didnt look to ruthless i was 13 when it came out and it blew my mind only had star trek to compare it too and when it came out it was just called star wars
Around 46:05, one of the guys refer to Wedge's exit with "coward". Lol, did you not hear what Wedge said? He gets damaged by a shot, and says, "I can't stay with you!" Obviously, Wedge's X-Wing was going to lose power / acceleration. Imagine if he 'tried' to speed up? Either he had already lost the power to keep up at the speed Luke and Biggs were flying or, with the damage inflicted on his craft, he'd probably end up blowing his fighter's power generator and end up in a billion galactic molecules. If you can't keep up, what else can you do? Listen better there, young viewers.
I'm pretty sure destroying the ship is not a realistic option because there is no guarantee that small of an item would be obliterated in the explosion. There would be a high chance the disk would survive the ship destruction and be lost to space and or picked up by smuggler or even the Rebels if the Empire could not locate. Its allot easier to just capture the ship an search/interrogate to locate the plans exact location. But the diplomatic consideration is also there. They were above a planet so the planet's population would be witness to whatever the Empire did and a ship destruction would have then been broadcasted to the Hollonet.
I totally agree that it was a diplomatic consideration. In just a few scenes, a momentus thing in the galactic political landscape is discussed, even though it made little difference to us watching it in 1977: The Emperor has disbanded the Senate, and now the regional governors (Tarkin) will have direct control over their territories. Remember, in the very first sequence, Vader is having to be careful that his actions don't get out and create sympathy for the rebels in the Senate. He even comes up with a cover story. During the Imperial period from the end of EPIII till this movie, it was thought that the Empire couldn't function without the bureaucracy of the Senate, now called the Imperial Senate. We see that in Bad Batch, Palpatine still have to make speeches to the senate to keep his voting block in line. If they'd been pursuing the Death Star plans only a few days later, thy might've just destroyed the Tantive VI.
Speaking of the Original Trilogy, my Wife is an Animation Director for Family Guy, and their parodies of these films ('Blue Harvest') always makes me upset. Not because they aren't well done, but because they ARE. Those episodes show what she & her crew could REALLY do when allowed to. It's one of the biggest tragedies in American Animation that we still, after 100 years of it, have a 'Trix are for Kids' mindset. Unlike nations like Japan, we just can't have beautiful, well-animated ADULT (Meaning Mature, not 'Adult') creations. The only kind of adult cartoons we have here are crude, ugly, vulgar comedy shows like 'Family Guy' and 'Southpark'. It's such a waste of talent. I see what people like my Wife CAN make, then I see what our culture expects & it's just sad. Very, very sad.
We have watched the show already. For Igli we are trying to decide the ideal way for him to watch it while also getting his reaction on the channel! - Blake
11:19 Vader doesn't know that Leia is his daughter until Return of The Jedi when Luke fights him in the presence of the emperor. Luke's feelings were easily read by Vader. Threatening his sister was what pissed Luke off defeating Vader but almost converting him to the dark side.
When I finally watched this in the 90s as a teen I was BORED out of my mind! I didn't understand the appeal. Luke and Leia drove me nuts and I found them to be whiny lil brats. Come to find out that is a run in the family. Eventually I came to appreciate the movie.
Nice to see this reaction, Gentlemen. Yes, Wyatt...I get what you're saying and feeling. The first and still the best. Watching your reaction, right after seeing the 7th episode of Ahsoka. The parallels are there...C-3P0 is still assisting Princess Leia...R5-D4's story is still unfolding...I can't wait for the day that R2-D2 meets R5-D4 again...hopefully, We'll get confirmation that they both spoke of R2's mission, over 10 years ago. Now, at some point within The Mandoverse, I think We need to see The New Republic Senate at work, on Coruscant. I hope Riyo Chuchi is still there, in some capacity; unless she's become Governor Of, or Representative For, Pantora, over the last 30 years. Yes, nearly 50 years later in the I.P., and the legacy of Lord Darth Vader still casts a strong shadow in The SWU; esp. within Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni's pocket universe, set 5 years after The Original Trilogy... May The Force Be With You All, Raggedy Pack Bros.
May the force be with you as well friend. Chuchi is definitely a character I want to see again. Personally I didn’t mind episode 7 but it was slower for a penultimate episode. Nonetheless, Ahsoka has been fantastic and I love Dave and Jon for it! - Blake
Thanks for understanding haha it’s hard to explain! I have a feeling we will not see work as a whole until news of Thrawn’s return has evidence (meaning that a New Republic fleet will be annihilated). - Wyatt
@@RaggedyPack My feeling is: Thrawn, once returning to the known galaxy, will hide out deep within The Outer Rim and The Unknown Regions (where planets like Tatooine, Naboo, Dalna, Batuu, and Mandalore are situated), taking his time to mass the disparate parts of what remains of The Empire. I'm still hoping that, somewhere in all of this, the yet-to-be-seen New Republic Special Forces, inc. Agent Cara Dune (come on, Disney, wake up from your cultural crusadery!), discover some of what's going on out there, along with evidence of the existence of The Acolytes Of The Beyond; which would add quite an interesting wrinkle to the conflicts, intrigues, mysteries, crimes, and preternatural evildoing that seem to be stirring and brewing within BOTH galaxies. And, this is very much what Mr. Lucas had in mind for the time period just after The Original Trilogy. Thankfully, Jon, Dave, and their creative team of collaborators are staying true to The Maker's wishes. If only We could see Lucas' already written TV series, Star Wars: Underworld get greenlit, and made a major feature on Disney +, in the near future. I had SOME issues with the execution of episode 7, but liked it for the most part. I''m sure that, if We had more time, We would've seen more interaction between Ezra and Sabine, and Baylan and Shin, respectively. The fact that these creators have to contend with an 8-episode structure, affects some of the storytelling beats. Now, why Ahsoka couldn't have been given 10 episodes, or even the 12 that Andor received, is beyond me. Plus, the forced, intentional cancellation of Rangers Of The New Republic, REALLY affected the storytelling (esp. the dramatization of The New Republic) for a substantial portion of The Mandoverse, altering Jon and Dave's original plan, and messing up the depiction of the timeline for some of the action, overall. Another thing that affected it, is the partial loss of The Mandalorian Publishing Campaign, which was supposed to occur between the live-action releases of The Book Of Boba Fett and ROTNR, and was supposed to feature an original The Mandalorian novel (as its centerpiece) by Adam Christopher (Shadows Of The Sith), which seemed to take place between Season 2 and Season 3 of The Mandalorian, setting up certain key factors in both the pasts and presents of the major characters in the growing saga. I believe Marshal Carasynthia Dune was to be featured in the novel; which may have contributed to its cancellation (thanks, Kathy), along w/ the fear that the book could overtake that sales and excitement for The High Republic Initiative. I still think the final episode of Ahsoka is going to be something of a shocker and a game-changer in The SWU, overall. Take care. MTFBWY...
The DF thing about the Vader V Kenobi recut is that by prequel logic Vader should have done 40 back flips through the bast door and stabbed Luke in the face. 😂
23:56 thinking about this scene i do like when kenobi said “only imperial stormtroopers are so precise” as someone who once lead a army of clone troopers , i can see kenobi noticing the aiming comparison between storm troopers and clone troopers. I like to think kenobi was thinking in his mind cody and his clone unit would never be that terrible in aiming.
A lot of people completely miss the fact that the stormtroopers in the SD had orders to let them go. They were missing on purpose. They had no orders to spare the Jawas, hence the accurate shots. This led people that weren't paying attention to the erroneous conclusion that troopers are lousy shots. Spoilers for the rest of the OT: In fact, the same could be said for the troopers in every instance where they are shooting at the main cast. On Bespin, they wanted Luke alive, so the troopers missed. They sabotaged the Falcon's drive so they could capture them alive, the troopers missed them too. On Endor, Vader and the Emperor wanted Luke alive, the troopers missed.
Vader never knew Padme had twins. I'll leave the rest of THAT alone as to not spoil it. Also, Vader finds out who Luke is in a comic that takes place btwn Episods 4 & 5.
@@bjtight98 Vader already learned Luke's name over the 3 years, it wasn't until Palpatine told him the truth did Vader realize who Luke really is. Vader didn't figure out before that because as Lucas explained, Skywalker is a common last name.
51:58 the thing with anakin being old age at this point in the star wars universe, there is one change that George Lucas did you might find weird in return of the jedi with dark Vader in terms of his age. You’ll see when you watch episode 6 it was never in the theatrical version
im looking for ESB on patreon because it said to be there at the end of this video, im not seeing any of the movies on patreon before youtube, do i not have access to them early in the 4 week tier?
Please do more movies, less episodic series. Much higher appeal, and you're a great team. Looking forward to Star Wars here, i just watched your Alien and it's brilliant.
This has all the info you’d need to access it. It’s just a trimmed down version of the show! I’m not gonna come at you for not hearing about it though! It’s like Disney would ever promote this! - blake www.kaipattersonfilms.com/kenobi

@willfanofmanyii3751 And also the fact that Vader is the only vilain who survived
@@marievjing
Realistically, if any villain was going to survive, Darth Vader is easily the most obvious choice irrespective of Vader being Luke's father.
@@_MjG_ Yes but star wars a new hope was supposed to be a one-shot movie with no sequels intented. So it's pretty curious that they let a main vilain survive
May of ‘77 dad was out of town working in Texas and when he came back he said “we have to go see this new movie”, had no idea what it was.
Fast forward 33 times over the next year… I saw it a bit. Have 1 of the stubs and the 33 (vinyl) soundtrack EP that was sold at the theater then. Same thing for all my OG action figures, including the mail away Boba Fett pre-Empire.
I was 7-8 at the time and needless to say, it was one of THE defining parts of my childhood. That and MTV are probably the most impactful things that made us who we are. Well, and that whole Soviet Union Cold War thing, but that’s made a comeback so y’all get to experience it first hand.
Makes me happy new generations are taking to these as much as we did then.
20:11 technically Obi Wan never did own R2-D2 or C-3PO. R2-D2 first belonged to Padame and then Anakin while C-3PO first belonged to Anakin and then to both of them while they were married. They both then belonged to Captain Antilles of the Tantive VI, the ship Leia tried to escape in and that Vader captured at the start of the movie.
33:16 Stands outside the ship, "I sense something". 30:49 Stands next to Leia, feels nothing.
It's almost like he senses Obi-Wan who he has a deep and long-lasting connection to rather than some girl that neither know their familial relation...
11:19 That's actually a good theory. I always figured they knew Leia was both a senator a high-ranking rebel, a valuable hostage with valuable intel, like the location of The Rebel Base.
31:52 - "why there's a cut" Plan A was that the lightsaber blade was plastic wrapped in reflective tape. When it "ignites" a prop guy actually swaps out the hilt with an "ignited" lightsaber. The results were less than what they hoped for and animating the blades in post turned out to be a simple effective solution (and they could make them different colors!)
Later, in the Death Star, Obi-wan "ignites" his blade by starting out with the blade pointed directly toward camera so you can't see that the blade is there. He then turns it so you can see the blade from the side
An example of Lucas setting up the lore so early, some deleted footage of the Death Star conference has that one mouthy Imperial also complain about a Sith Lord being in the room.
amusing how many still think these movies are about future events relating to earth.
If you guys are TRULY dedicated 'Star Wars' Nerds, then you definitely need to check out the National Public Radio Audiodrama versions of the OT. (Released in 1980, 1983 and 1996, respectively) Considering the limitations of audio tech from the era, at least the first two, they are very evocative & from an audio effects standpoint, are as good as the films.
The performances are excellent, though very few of the original actors return. Mark Hamill & Anthony Daniels being the only ones. But the acting is good enough that that ceases to be an issue before long. One small bit that is far better than the film is that when Leia's entire Homeworld is destroyed, she actually SOUNDS like someone who has had their entire life ripped from them. They also 'show' her being tortured and that's well done enough it might be triggering for some.
But the best thing about those adaptions (and until Disney... uh... 'changed' things, they were considered Canon), is that they have tons of extra story that was not in the films. From Scenes that take place before the movies and many other bits that enhance our understanding of events. And that only makes sense, as the adaption of 'A New Hope' is NINE HOURS long.
Yeah.. .the Original Trilogy is Basically the Adventures of R2D2 & C3PO , & the Rebels are just the 'extras' in the story boarding ;p
I don’t agree
R2 is the font of all Star Wars knowledge..his memory has never been wiped.
He's the main character, of this movie and of the whole 9-movie cycle.
@@chrisleebowersand he has less to do in the last three than he did in the previous trilogies
@@Galvatronover Even when he's not doing much, he's right in the middle of everthing. There was the one movie where he was basically comatose for the whole thing, but then the story was all about waking him up.
Some trivia - The actor that played Commander Tarkin (Peter Cushig) has a few shots where the shot of him started from the knees up. His costume boots were brutally tight, and the budget did not allow him to have boots for a better fit, so, he was not wearing shoes in some of the shots where you don't see his knees .
In 1977 there was no CGI. The dialog makes the Kenobi vs Vader fight epic. Not CGI, nor speed, nor flash. Any kid from the 70s or 80s can quote that entire fight from the ‘You should not have come back…’. Think about the fact that the original audience had to wait YEARS between films to find out what happened next. Han always shoots first (no matter what later editions claim). Wedge is awesome. Your analysis was fun and thought provoking (except for the beating the dead Bantha of the mediocre D+ series).
Lets just imagine that when the 501st Legion goes to Naboo to do "Imperial Diplomacy" they deal with Jarjar Binks as well.
Legend has it they're currently making "You shoulda watched the Kenobi cut" t-shirts as we speak.
😂😂😂
The clone wars y wings were 2 seaters. The rebel y wings ripped out the rear seat to add in more up to date tech and automated the rooftop ion turret.
It's also why they stripped off the armour to add better engines and power distributors and to make the ship light enough to act as a tactical fighter bomber where the clone wars era version was a strategic fighter-bomber.
Please, tell me that you spotted those two bullies of the cantina also in Rouge One!. Great reaction as always guys, it´s much enjoyable to watch you react for the first and also 💪for the hundred time all together!. 😃♥ I´m 50 y.o. and I don´t get tired of all this. Have a good 2.024!, my best regards from Argentina.
We did! Thank you!
Have a happy New Year!

If you both watch the Movie again and later again, you two will see more, much more than you'll remember from the first watch.
It gets better....
Star Wars and Rocky were released 6 months apart.
The first movie to have a post credit scene was the He-Man Masters of the Universe movie.
In regards to memes about Luke using the lightsaber...
Reminder that the first thing he did in the Lego game was decapitate 3PO.
🤖 Love this . “Trying to become a han - duo “ quote by Corey lol 😂 . I had a bad day but thanks gentlemen. You made it better . Can’t wait for my favorite-return of the Jedi baby . Great job by all of you not giving up any spoilers. So fun 😉💙❤️🦬🦋
You should have watched the original theatrical cut. Many added special FX added in this re-release. Han shoots him in cold blood. Guido never shot at all.
my thoughts exactly
Great reaction! This is one of my favorite movies. I always laughed at this moment, although it probably hurt him 11:53 😆
Han Duo 🤣🤣🤣
The 'S' SC38 stands for Scene. I think it was the 38th scene in the film. C stands for cut perhaps?💖
Thanks Guys! Blake I love your passion!
So, "Old Ben KENOBI" does not sound like Obiwan KENOBI to Luke? That always seemed odd to me.
in the original that came out in theaters the bounty hunter credo never shot at han when lucas re did the original he had the bounty hunter shoot first so han didnt look to ruthless i was 13 when it came out and it blew my mind only had star trek to compare it too and when it came out it was just called star wars
I was 14-15 when I first saw this in the theater and it is still one of my favorites
I’m so jealous! - Blake
Around 46:05, one of the guys refer to Wedge's exit with "coward". Lol, did you not hear what Wedge said? He gets damaged by a shot, and says, "I can't stay with you!"
Obviously, Wedge's X-Wing was going to lose power / acceleration. Imagine if he 'tried' to speed up? Either he had already lost the power to keep up at the speed Luke and Biggs were flying or, with the damage inflicted on his craft, he'd probably end up blowing his fighter's power generator and end up in a billion galactic molecules. If you can't keep up, what else can you do? Listen better there, young viewers.
ANH and ESB are perfection.
I'm pretty sure destroying the ship is not a realistic option because there is no guarantee that small of an item would be obliterated in the explosion. There would be a high chance the disk would survive the ship destruction and be lost to space and or picked up by smuggler or even the Rebels if the Empire could not locate. Its allot easier to just capture the ship an search/interrogate to locate the plans exact location.
But the diplomatic consideration is also there. They were above a planet so the planet's population would be witness to whatever the Empire did and a ship destruction would have then been broadcasted to the Hollonet.
I totally agree that it was a diplomatic consideration. In just a few scenes, a momentus thing in the galactic political landscape is discussed, even though it made little difference to us watching it in 1977: The Emperor has disbanded the Senate, and now the regional governors (Tarkin) will have direct control over their territories. Remember, in the very first sequence, Vader is having to be careful that his actions don't get out and create sympathy for the rebels in the Senate. He even comes up with a cover story. During the Imperial period from the end of EPIII till this movie, it was thought that the Empire couldn't function without the bureaucracy of the Senate, now called the Imperial Senate. We see that in Bad Batch, Palpatine still have to make speeches to the senate to keep his voting block in line. If they'd been pursuing the Death Star plans only a few days later, thy might've just destroyed the Tantive VI.
Maybe they didn't destroy the ship cause they wanted to take the plans back instead of destroying them.
Blake, im glad Im bot the only one who now heres that music and thinks "wait im not playing empire at war"😂
Speaking of the Original Trilogy, my Wife is an Animation Director for Family Guy, and their parodies of these films ('Blue Harvest') always makes me upset. Not because they aren't well done, but because they ARE.
Those episodes show what she & her crew could REALLY do when allowed to. It's one of the biggest tragedies in American Animation that we still, after 100 years of it, have a 'Trix are for Kids' mindset. Unlike nations like Japan, we just can't have beautiful, well-animated ADULT (Meaning Mature, not 'Adult') creations. The only kind of adult cartoons we have here are crude, ugly, vulgar comedy shows like 'Family Guy' and 'Southpark'.
It's such a waste of talent. I see what people like my Wife CAN make, then I see what our culture expects & it's just sad. Very, very sad.
"What the hell's an Aluminum Falcon?" 😂
Everyone's Star Wars is whatever they grew up on. For me Star Wars is Episode 3. That is everything I mean when I say "Star Wars".
Anakin uses the doku approved robot arm to crawl away from the lava.
"Sand..." hahaha.
I really do not think that the Empire cared about how it looks politically.
"Have I ever told you about Ahsoka Tano"
25:27 It's a "Rhonto"
You should definitely watch the whole Kenobi show. Don’t believe the haters, it’s a great continuation of the prequels!
We have watched the show already. For Igli we are trying to decide the ideal way for him to watch it while also getting his reaction on the channel! - Blake
Yes, make him solo watch it for the channel!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
13:27 Dewback
Jesus you guys started with Rouge One.
I’m a old fuck.
Old man, original fan.
We actually started with episode 1
@@RaggedyPack 🙈
11:19 Vader doesn't know that Leia is his daughter until Return of The Jedi when Luke fights him in the presence of the emperor. Luke's feelings were easily read by Vader. Threatening his sister was what pissed Luke off defeating Vader but almost converting him to the dark side.
George Lucas also writes. He wrote novels. I remember reading one that was a continuation of his movie Willow.
What's the Kenobi cut ? Is it the Kenobi series?
When I finally watched this in the 90s as a teen I was BORED out of my mind! I didn't understand the appeal. Luke and Leia drove me nuts and I found them to be whiny lil brats. Come to find out that is a run in the family. Eventually I came to appreciate the movie.
Nice to see this reaction, Gentlemen. Yes, Wyatt...I get what you're saying and feeling. The first and still the best. Watching your reaction, right after seeing the 7th episode of Ahsoka. The parallels are there...C-3P0 is still assisting Princess Leia...R5-D4's story is still unfolding...I can't wait for the day that R2-D2 meets R5-D4 again...hopefully, We'll get confirmation that they both spoke of R2's mission, over 10 years ago. Now, at some point within The Mandoverse, I think We need to see The New Republic Senate at work, on Coruscant. I hope Riyo Chuchi is still there, in some capacity; unless she's become Governor Of, or Representative For, Pantora, over the last 30 years. Yes, nearly 50 years later in the I.P., and the legacy of Lord Darth Vader still casts a strong shadow in The SWU; esp. within Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni's pocket universe, set 5 years after The Original Trilogy...
May The Force Be With You All, Raggedy Pack Bros.
May the force be with you as well friend. Chuchi is definitely a character I want to see again. Personally I didn’t mind episode 7 but it was slower for a penultimate episode. Nonetheless, Ahsoka has been fantastic and I love Dave and Jon for it! - Blake
Thanks for understanding haha it’s hard to explain!
I have a feeling we will not see work as a whole until news of Thrawn’s return has evidence (meaning that a New Republic fleet will be annihilated). - Wyatt
@@RaggedyPack My feeling is: Thrawn, once returning to the known galaxy, will hide out deep within The Outer Rim and The Unknown Regions (where planets like Tatooine, Naboo, Dalna, Batuu, and Mandalore are situated), taking his time to mass the disparate parts of what remains of The Empire. I'm still hoping that, somewhere in all of this, the yet-to-be-seen New Republic Special Forces, inc. Agent Cara Dune (come on, Disney, wake up from your cultural crusadery!), discover some of what's going on out there, along with evidence of the existence of The Acolytes Of The Beyond; which would add quite an interesting wrinkle to the conflicts, intrigues, mysteries, crimes, and preternatural evildoing that seem to be stirring and brewing within BOTH galaxies. And, this is very much what Mr. Lucas had in mind for the time period just after The Original Trilogy. Thankfully, Jon, Dave, and their creative team of collaborators are staying true to The Maker's wishes. If only We could see Lucas' already written TV series, Star Wars: Underworld get greenlit, and made a major feature on Disney +, in the near future.
I had SOME issues with the execution of episode 7, but liked it for the most part. I''m sure that, if We had more time, We would've seen more interaction between Ezra and Sabine, and Baylan and Shin, respectively. The fact that these creators have to contend with an 8-episode structure, affects some of the storytelling beats. Now, why Ahsoka couldn't have been given 10 episodes, or even the 12 that Andor received, is beyond me. Plus, the forced, intentional cancellation of Rangers Of The New Republic, REALLY affected the storytelling (esp. the dramatization of The New Republic) for a substantial portion of The Mandoverse, altering Jon and Dave's original plan, and messing up the depiction of the timeline for some of the action, overall. Another thing that affected it, is the partial loss of The Mandalorian Publishing Campaign, which was supposed to occur between the live-action releases of The Book Of Boba Fett and ROTNR, and was supposed to feature an original The Mandalorian novel (as its centerpiece) by Adam Christopher (Shadows Of The Sith), which seemed to take place between Season 2 and Season 3 of The Mandalorian, setting up certain key factors in both the pasts and presents of the major characters in the growing saga. I believe Marshal Carasynthia Dune was to be featured in the novel; which may have contributed to its cancellation (thanks, Kathy), along w/ the fear that the book could overtake that sales and excitement for The High Republic Initiative.
I still think the final episode of Ahsoka is going to be something of a shocker and a game-changer in The SWU, overall. Take care. MTFBWY...
Lol "george rr martin actually writes" does he thoooougghh lmao, also kenobi cut? I dont think I ever caught that, ill have to check it out
The DF thing about the Vader V Kenobi recut is that by prequel logic Vader should have done 40 back flips through the bast door and stabbed Luke in the face. 😂
23:56 thinking about this scene i do like when kenobi said “only imperial stormtroopers are so precise” as someone who once lead a army of clone troopers , i can see kenobi noticing the aiming comparison between storm troopers and clone troopers.
I like to think kenobi was thinking in his mind cody and his clone unit would never be that terrible in aiming.
A lot of people completely miss the fact that the stormtroopers in the SD had orders to let them go. They were missing on purpose. They had no orders to spare the Jawas, hence the accurate shots. This led people that weren't paying attention to the erroneous conclusion that troopers are lousy shots. Spoilers for the rest of the OT:
In fact, the same could be said for the troopers in every instance where they are shooting at the main cast. On Bespin, they wanted Luke alive, so the troopers missed. They sabotaged the Falcon's drive so they could capture them alive, the troopers missed them too. On Endor, Vader and the Emperor wanted Luke alive, the troopers missed.
Sean O’Malley on the right be chilling
Vader doesent find out about Lea till the end of Ep 6.
Should have watched this one first. Always watch in order of release.
Also… PLEASE watch Spaceballs!!!!
Guys please watch remastered scene ob1 Vader fight from fixit in post ..the way fight should of been..

Vader never knew Padme had twins. I'll leave the rest of THAT alone as to not spoil it. Also, Vader finds out who Luke is in a comic that takes place btwn Episods 4 & 5.
The comic was just a retcon which doesn't even line up with how the movies handle it.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 the movies never handled it lol
@@bjtight98 Uh, watch Episode 5 again.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 at what point in Ep 5 did it handle how Vader found out the guy that blew up the Death Star was a Skywalker? 🧐
@@bjtight98 Vader already learned Luke's name over the 3 years, it wasn't until Palpatine told him the truth did Vader realize who Luke really is.
Vader didn't figure out before that because as Lucas explained, Skywalker is a common last name.
51:58 the thing with anakin being old age at this point in the star wars universe, there is one change that George Lucas did you might find weird in return of the jedi with dark Vader in terms of his age. You’ll see when you watch episode 6 it was never in the theatrical version
Vader finds out later about Leia. But I can't spoil it for you by telling you when.
im looking for ESB on patreon because it said to be there at the end of this video, im not seeing any of the movies on patreon before youtube, do i not have access to them early in the 4 week tier?
