I'm glad you gave Peter Cushing (the older villain) his due - he's a legendary British actor who was in many many films, a lot of horrors.
and he was an unofficial Dr.Who that nobody ever talks about.
@@RustyX2010 I dont know if Christopher Lee ever got his due (sansLOTR)
@@RustyX2010 A good Dr. Who too.
@@RustyX2010 and why are you distracting from his acting in this movie
HUH???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????WHAT?????????? WTF!!!!!!@@weaponizedanonymity4624
I will never forget the first time I watched this movie in my childhood, it was like discovering a new world, I was completely enchanted by every detail
I watched this film in 1977 in a huge movie theater / picture palace with an audience of 700 people. We had to stand for an hour to get tickets, but it was definitely worth it.
Saw it in Manila when it first came out in 77. Didn't impress me and when I got back to the States couldn't understand why people would stand in line for hours to watch it.
Me too!
So why are you here?
I saw it in the theater when it opened. I was seven. When they first went to light speed, the audience was breathless. What a memory.
Absolutely insane that Hannah just by watching the first movie understands the force better than most "fans" on twitter. Hats off to you Hannah, you get it!
it seems she knows a lot about the penetrating aspect of the force :D
Meh. The being like gravity is a really bad understanding. Gravity affects everyone and everything equally. Only certain people have the ability to harness the force and only a small percentage of them could attain the level of what you see in the movies.
@@tonyb7615 WRONG! You are only looking at things through the prequel's Jedi point of view, and they all died for being so wrong. Obi-Wan LITERALLY says the Force surrounds ALL living things. ALL. Having a butt-load of midichlorians helps for sure, but all you need to do is open your mind to the force and learn how to use it. Sabine is literally proof of this.
@Bucktopus37 but, the whole point is yes it interacts with everyone. But being able to interact back is exceedingly rare no matter how much you try. Certain races having an easier time of it, like Yoda. What you bring up was retconned out because it's stupid and no one liked it. And that was before disney bought off Lucas.
@@tonyb7615 but thats not "the whole point" of Star Wars you just THINK it is. But real quick, notice how I put a blanket statement out like "fans on twitter" and you felt like I was talking about you. Which congratulations you're right about something. Just not the "point" of the force.
Cannot emphasize how STUNNING the opening text crawl was in the theater (first run). Nothing compared to this and opened up the depth of this world.
Truly iconic. In later movies people would start cheering as soon as that opening sequence came on screen. Good times.
Opening credits to Superman.
George Lucas took that gimmick from the old Flash Gordon serials he saw as a kid
John Williams had a lot to do with why Superman and SWs opening scenes are so memorable, and awe inspiring to hear
@@italoblu Superman came out after SW
The next two movies are gonna blow your minds. May the force be with you 💪🏼
I agree with you. Also after the next two movies, they would love to watch *ROGUE ONE* as it connects to the original 1977 Star Wars film.
@@hughjorg4008 And then avoid any other star wars movies/series except Andor.
@@Abbath77 No way, they definitely need to watch the prequels too.
@@DimiusG hell no
The prequels and The Mandalorian are great though. And very connected to the original films @@Abbath77
Ash's explanation of Obi-Wan not teaching Vader everything he knows about the Force is actually pretty interesting, from a certain point of view...
I see what you did there.
Symbolisms. From a certain point of view
Careful, brother. Don't spoil.
@@jimh472 you saying that is more spoiler than the original comment
dont get it
@@ironmaiden93ofangmar
I'm old enough to proudly say, I saw this in the theatre when it was originally released in 1977. I love to see new generations be introduced to this. All your questions after watching it, were very much the same as I had as a kid. And the fact that the special effects hold up today, will tell you how much this blew us away back then. Yes, the fight scene with Sir Alex Guinness was underwhelming, but it was him and he was pretty old already. There are many more fight scenes to come and you will be pleased with them. Enjoy this journey and please watch them in release order, as these films will "penetrate" your world.
Also Obi-Wan’s lightsaber fighting style favors defense. He just wears down his opponent’s until they get sloppy
Saw it in the theater also, great experience!
@@duaneglaze7229 I only got to see it eleven times in the theater.
Same! 11 Years old when I saw it. Left an indelible mark on me! Rode my bike down and back to the local mall 7 weeks in a row in the Texas heat wave of 1980 (110 F+) every Saturday and sat through 2 showings of Empire Strikes Back for a total of 14 times!
Also - yes the effects hold up gloriously.
Also - it wasn't that Alex Guinness was old. Both he and David Prowse were accomplished stage fencers and COULD fight very convincingly with normal blades. It had more to do with the fact that the light sabers themselves in this earliest of versions were FRAGILE as all HELL and would SHATTER if you hit them too hard against each other. To the point that they had to fight VERY "deliberately" and not even TOUCH the blades and PRETEND that they actually were! Later versions of the effects gained in both "light pole" durability and better after effects.
If you want to see what a more modern version of this fight would look like - check out the "FXinPost" redo of this scene. Here at the following link: ruclips.net/video/to2SMng4u1k/видео.htmlsi=ykJvxzayHxPABO3W
I’m so jealous, it must have been so awesome seeing such innovative SFX for the first time back in ‘77. I’ve heard Star Wars’ happy ending also contributed to it’s success due a lot of movies from the 70s having downer endings. Even Siskel & Ebert praised the movie for being a great piece of escapism.
Hahaha. "There's not even a corner shop nearby". Literally the best sentence that anyone has ever said about Star Wars. You two are awesome.
"They look like robot sperm" to describe storm troopers was a funny line too!!
It is scary how the two of you got the movie right away. Ash, don’t worry about the light-saber duel being underwhelming. The filmmakers were in uncharted territory regarding the light sabre duel. I promise you, they will not just get better, but as they figure it out with each film, they will blow your socks off!
As for Hannah…the Force is strong with her. She is Jedi material!
Yoooo I said this SAME thing in my own comment, the fights get increasingly incredible ❤
They really did get this right away. Haven’t even made it halfway through the video yet but I wanted to add that they understood Vader and the jawas better than most. Almost immediately realized the jawas are scavengers(before shocking r2). With Vader it’s like they were able to see some of the anakin in him with only a minute or 2 of screentime, they literally said it seems like he grew up in a library.
That's because the props in this first film were very fragile, and would break extremely easily. Later lightsaber props were much more durable, and then by the time of the prequels technology had progressed to be able to use actual swordfighting props.
I’ve actually reached the time and my life where I am meeting people who will actually acknowledge that that saber duel was extremely lame without having a rage break down! Only goes straight into the atmosphere from now on.
I think the duels in the original trilogy are more believable. I’m not a fan of the prequels or the sequels.
The opening space fight scene was spectacular at the time and unprecedented. You first see the first spacecraft running and firing back, leaving the audience to think a similar sized ship is chasing it. However, the massive imperial cruiser shows up nearly taking up the entire screen, leaving a moment of awe for the 1970’s audience.
Exactly. You just can’t convey how mind-blowing that was in a theater in 1977. Nothing remotely like that had ever been seen.
The next thing after the ships to blow my mind as a kid in the theater was actually just the concept of robots being taken prisoner right alongside people. Space movies before this tended to portray space as clean and sterile, but in this movie the spaceships are worn and breaking down, the droids are leaking fluids, the town has crime and shady deals. A planet with two suns? In 1977 there was still a lot of people saying our sun is probably the only star with planets.
My grandma saw this in HS and she said it was so mind blowing that people were fainting and crying in the theater. She said it was one of the greatest experiences
Hannah seeing Darth Vader for the first time: “He’s not as tall as I thought he’d be”
Ash: “He’s quite asthmatic”
Me: 🤣😂🤣😂
The movie that took fx ,matte painting ,scale models ,merchandising and pop culture to a new level
Thanks to the Dune project by Alejandro Jodorowksi. The storyboard they made with O'bannon, Andrew Geiger and Moebius work just give birth to Star Wars and Alien.
you mean Spaceballs? and Spaceballs 2: the Search For More Money?
@@grego-geekStoryboards didn’t invent computer-controlled cameras and blue screen compositing techniques. You’re overstating your case.
Some people here say you have to watch these movies in a certain order, don't listen to them. just watch it in the release order!
💯
I have been watching Star Wars since they came out! I have never thought that R2's whistles are to tell 3po to shut up when first talking to Luke! Brilliant!
Keep in mind that Star Wars in theaters in 1977 had no CGI yet it was and still is a spectacular movie, however the movie got a CGI facelift for the 1997, 20th Anniversary rerelease of the movie, so some of the effects you see in this film were included many years after the original Star Wars was released. The original final cut in 1977 was amazing and audiences went wild for the movie.
Legitimately subscribing to the Patreon just because of this reaction…the genuine awe you guys show as you’re introduced to this world and each character is so wholesome and makes me feel like I’m watching the series again for the first time.
Mate that’s proper kind of you, glad you’re on this journey with us 👊🏽❤️

They were penetrated !!!!
I love how you both picked up on Grand Moff Tarkin as the true villain. He was trained basically from when he was born to be the bad guy.
And because he has this evil, ruthless mind and personality, Vader accepted when Tarkin told him to let go of the officer he choked. No other would have dared to give Vader that order.
@@nicolaimehrung442The Emperor designed it that way to humiliate Vader, according to Legends
Peter Cushing (Tarkin) was a fantastic villain actor. Had a lot of range, too. He e played opposite Christopher Lee in a Hammer Horror Dracula film once, if I remember correctly.
@@stephenfitzgerald9769 funny that you mention that movie. I just saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago, awesome movie.
@@stephenfitzgerald9769 He was Van Helsing, I believe. He played good guys for the most part. He and Lee were best friends.
This is the most fun reaction I've seen. Hannah's one liners alone had me laughing out loud. Ash was extra Ash as well.
I can’t wait to see the other Star Wars reactions it’s going to be a blast to watch Ash and Hanna’s journey into this universe
HOLY! This is the most hyped I've been for one of your series! Hope you get through them all!
Hope you enjoyed it mate 🫡

Yoooo I've Never laughed at a reaction more than "They burnt his Igloo" 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I absolutely melted when she said that.
The summer, when Star Wars was released was one of the best of my life. My best friend Charlie and I saw it over 20 times. Amazing movie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It always baffles me that you can get this far in life without seeing this classic, loved the reaction!
That is the first time I've ever heard Darth Vader, the lord of the sith, referred to as "bitchy" and I'm living for it 🤣
When I tell you i died dead at that comment
To them Kylo Ren´s bitchy attitude won´t come as a surprise then. It´s just an upgrade!
@embran8486 haha Kylo Ren, the sith lord of the bitches 🤣
Hannah figured out Obi's death pretty well right away. He is with the Force. And the Force is an energy field that can offer so much abilities to those that are sensitive to it & willing to learn. Obi is very human, though, he always was up until he was struck down. He simply used the Force to do his little trick, that was precisely what he meant by becoming even more powerful if Vader was to strike him down. And did you notice how confused Vader got? He had no idea Obi could do what he did, or even understands what happened!
Very refreshing when other reactors are like "Where has he gone? When is he coming back?"
The red haired girl should cosplay Mara Jade, if they ever get around to the Thrawn triology and get to know that character. And the guy could do Talon Karde.
Hannah jumping when the overture started made me laugh so hard-it happens to me too! Every time!
The fact that you can’t easily find the theatrical versions of these films is criminal
The villain who Vader seems to work for is played by Peter Cushing. He was a famous British horror actor at the time this movie was made.
And he was such a nice guy in real life Carrie Fisher had trouble doing her scenes with him. It was just too hard to find him intimidating.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS.
This is where the fun begins.
LOL...I see what you did there.
This was the first movie to experiment with all the new filming techniques used to film the movie, George Lucas was going for the Traditional Samurai sword fighting techniques previously used in martial arts movies of the time, plus the fact that the Darth Vader costume prevented the Actor from moving quickly and stopping him from turning his head or lifting his arms above his head and Sir Alec Guinness was an elderly Actor the Fighting does get better
Totally understand the issue with the saber fight. A big reason the choreography couldn’t be too extravagant is because of the lightsaber effect itself and what it was taking to pull it off. Obiwan has a cord going up his sleeve for the power to the light
The shoestring budget limited the scenes to a minimum. This movie was a shot in the dark for George Lucas, and no one knew whether it was going to succeed or fail. He wasn't going to blow his investment on a film that could bomb at the box office.
Thankfully it blew the roof and made millions.
@@sadee1287_Star Wars_ did not have a shoestring budget, but rather a budget well above average for a major movie in 1977. Lucas was definitely pushing beyond the state of the art in special effects, there were risks involved, and he would have benefited from even more money to develop new cinematic techniques, but he wasn’t operating on a shoestring budget.
Ash, when they made the first film, they didn’t know if they were going to make more. If you and Hannah continue watching the rest, that light sabre duel will take on new meaning, when the back stories are fully established, the duel and the words spoken during that duel will have gravitas. You might even choke back tears if you watch that duel again later. I don’t think I am a die-hard Star Wars fan, but after I saw the film in the Philippines I transferred from Architecture to Commercial Arts in college. Friends and family thought it was a foolish move and a pipe dream. I moved to Canada in 1979 and followed that dream. I am now working as a freelance artist, finished my first book, met one of George Lucas’ SFX artist at ILM who yelled out my name across a convention hall! For better or worse, I am where I am right now because I saw Star Wars in 1977.
You two doing your chewbacca impressions made my day 😂 Can’t wait to watch your reactions to the next two Star Wars
This is legit the best interpretation of this. I’ve never laughed so hard at a movie reaction.
@33:10 “Oh look, her nipples are sharp.” 😂😂😂
Carrie Fisher often told the story about how George Lucas (the director) decided she couldn’t wear a bra because it showed through her white dress - his explanation being “There is no underwear in space.” So throughout that first movie, her chest was strapped down with gaffer tape. She and the others used to joke about having the crew draw straws to tear the tape off at day’s end, but never actually did it. Different times for sure.
When Hannah first saw Vader and said "Not as tall as I imagined."
You're about 5 movies and 2 tv series away to finding out why THAT is really funny. 😂😂
Roadhouse?
@@bluebird3281 That's a different semi-tall tough guy ;)
Seriously.....? 🙄
David Prowse, who played the role (James Earl Jones was the voice) was actually 6'6." Only Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca was taller, at 7'3."
Tv Series? That kenobi abomination is not star wars
@@leonrussell9607 movies episode 3 Aniken says to Gn Grievous, "you're shorter than I imagined." But the legend is built in the clone wars and rebels that Grievous is a huge terrifying force.
"Is that a bin?!"
I beg your fuckin' pardon! THAT is a Gonk! A glorious Gonk! And you WILL respect him a such!
😂😂
hannah is such a doll; to me star wars is sacred; the fact that I was laughing when you guys went off on the penetration shows what a great channel this is.
I cannot wait until they watch the other films! This franchise defined so much of my childhood and i can't wait to revisit it all with them! Lets go!
LOVE the way Hannah explains/ thinks about the force and how she would incorporate it lmaooo love both y’all’s channels
I envy you two starting on this journey. Looking at this franchise with new eyes. There is so much material out there to see.
fun fact: The man who voice acts Darth Vader in this film, David Prowse was next door neighbours with me up until his death 3 years ago.
Dave Prowse played him physically, but the voice was over-dubbed by James Earl Jones.
@@MrHws5mp oh i never knew this, thank you.
@@rhysevans4253: What was he like?
Hannahs hair is incredible today!
Peter Cushing and Alec Guiness. Simply a classic.
I was a 6th grader when Star Wars came out. The movie theater lines went around the block. We all cheered at the end. No one had ever seen special effects like that before. It was a cultural phenomenon.
I wish I was around for the original saga I was 8 when the phantom menace was released... I'd seen the original trilogy on vhs already. People make a big deal about the prequels now but at the time everyone knew they were shit 😅
I beg to differ with never seen special effects like SW. The movie 2001 was at least on equal level. However, this movie was just pure entertainment.
@@n.d.m.515space ships could only move at a static speed in that movie they couldn’t accelerate. Star Wars had FX never seen before
@@n.d.m.515 100%. But as a kid 2001 wasn't for me.
I’ve had cantina band song as my ringtone for the last 6 years, when it started playing for a sec i thought my phone was ringing 😭😭
Be sure to watch out for the famous line "I have a bad feeling about this." which is in every star wars movie as an easter egg
19:45 “The music is impeccable though” made by John Williams.
42:55 R2-D2 is an astrodroid, it serves as radar, co-pilot, repair man, etc.
50:25 The _Zorro_ tv series from Disney had very long, complicated, and advanced sword choreography still unsurpassed today and that show was from the late '50s.
I have never heard of stormtroopers being referred to as robot sperm before but now I can not unsee it lol.
Harrison Ford (Han Solo) filmed Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark around the same time as he filmed this movie
this is probably the most hilarious reaction to Star Wars I've ever seen...😂😂😂
Congratulations mate🤙🏽 the saga begins! It'll be a wild ride but as someone once said "This is where the fun begins"😏
Mad honour to have you on this journey ❤️
So many great actors in this film, Peter Cushing, James Earl Jones and Sir Alec Guinness!
His name is Alec. Knighthood is obsolete.
😃👍
This was such a treat. It really took me back to the first time I watched Star Wars.
One thing to note: there are two sides to the Force: the Light and the Dark. It may not have come across due to the uncharted nature of the film and the 1970’s effects/indie budget, but Darth Vader is insanely powerful with the Dark Side-almost the most powerful. But he isn’t THE most powerful and evil… there is one other. I cannot WAIT to see you experience the rest of the Saga!
A little non-spoiler lore:
The creature in the trash compactor is a female dianoga named Omi and she is force sensitive. She sensed that Luke was a force sensitive being as well so when she pulled him under the water, she was actually baptizing him in accordance with the religious beliefs of her species. They also believe in reincarnation so when Omi had a vision of Luke destroying the death star, she didn’t make an effort to get off the space station.
Congratulations Ash & Hannah you’ve taken your first step into a larger world.
This movie was made with $100,000 in 1977. It's a miracle it ever got made, let alone is such a legit classic. The war scenes and the lightsaber fights get way better in the next two movies, trust me. Glad to watch you guys enjoy this absolute legend of a movie. Growing up, I watched these VHS cassettes until they disintegrated.
It was expected that some people would probably like it, and maybe it would get some second tier success. That’s why I love seeing the images from back in 1977, lines stretching for blocks outside the theaters.
The budget was $11,000,000 which at the time was rather high, especially for a barely-known (at the time) director like George Lucas. He was so concerned that the studio execs would tell him to end the film after the escape from the Death Star and claw back some of that budget that he filmed the final space battle first so that that couldn't happen.
Amazingly enough, putting $11 million into an inflation caluclator still only comes to $56 million in current dollars, which would now be considered low for a film of this type.
@@MagsonDare Considering tge outdated effects 56 mio. would be a bit much for todays standards.
@@arno_nuehm_1well the effects weren’t outdated then
@@MagsonDare Barely known!? His previously movie was nominated for 5 Oscars, including for best director, best writer and Best Picture. If you're in your 20s and you make a movie with that kind of awards notice. You're definitely known. ruclips.net/video/hDHKEEo91j8/видео.html
Glad you are into this series! Something that I think helps with understanding some of the different aspects is that they actually call it 'The Living Force'. It is an energy that powers and connects people, but its also conscious in a way. Its normally portrayed as a single power that has two different minds, the 'light side' and the 'dark side'. The light side representing serenity and the dark side representing passion. The stronger one becomes connected to the force the more both of those sides are able to affect them. When you see people talking about 'falling to the dark side' the fear is that even if you are a good person, as you become stronger in the force you have something pulling you in those directions and manipulating you.
Also a fun tidbit- The lightsaber fights in this one are pretty terrible and part of that is because they didn't have a good idea for what the lightsabers would look like yet. The director told them to fight with them like they were really heavy swords. The fights definitely get a lot better as the movies go!
Experiencing this movie was one of the best Saturday afternoons at the movie theater I have spent. My eleven year old self was totally enthralled and engrossed in this awesome adventure story. This was pure fun, and delightful escapism. I still remember the entire audience bursting into huge cheers and applause when the end credits started to roll. You could feel this tremendous happy energy in the room.
And to be there at its beginning was very cool. Then came the two sequels (the 2nd one, The Empire Strikes Back, was excellent), and a while later we witnessed George's tampering with the effects when DVD was new, and then he made the (mostly regrettable) prequels, and then Disney gave the world even more Star Wars fiction--- sequels and prequels and sidebars and character origin stories--- as time passed. Now it's kind of overwhelming, LOL. There are animated TV shows and live action ones; "The Mandalorian" on Disney+ streaming is great fun. Star Wars is a big universe that one can dive into. But I basically limit myself to the 3 films of '77, '80 and '83. Those are a cherished part of my adolescence. They had just the right ingredients to make wholesome entertainment that makes the viewer get caught up in a rollicking fantasy.
I don't think that The Force is merely the concept of self confidence. Ben Kenobi described it to Luke as something that is everywhere and in everyone, something that moves through us and around us. Confidence and enthusiasm alone will not make something rise off the floor, will not crack a foe's larynx, nor can it destroy the Death Star. However, to be fair, I can see that being determined and positive can help in any scenario where a person needs to succeed, to vanquish evil, or to help others.
Thanks, and a very Happy New Year to you both. You are such crazy kids here, making countless sex jokes like horny teenagers, lmao.
Had the privilege to see this in theaters when I was 7 for the 20th anniversary celebration in 1997, after having seen it countless times on Laserdisc and VHS prior. 😂 What an experience. It has shaped my life
I'm not trying to "one-up" you, but I was 7 in 1977. I saw this when it came out in a sold-out theater. It's impossible to describe how amazing THAT was!!!!😃😃
I was 9. We had to wait in line in the heat for tickets. When the Death Star blew up the entire theater erupted in applause. I'll always remember that.
never have i ever seen people refer to the jedi and the sith as penetration specialists, you two are pure gold
Whenever i see new reactors starting their star wars journey recommended i always sub. Glad i caught you on the start of the journey, you're in for a wonderful time, especially since you enjoyed the first so much. Glad to be part of it.
About the fight scenes, don't forget this first Star Wars was made on a very small budget, especially for a sci-fi film. It just couldn't realize all of George Lucas' visions or potential. They did amazing and innovative things considering the budget and the era. George Lucas helped develop and usher in the age of CGI, and after this movie, had good money for fight scenes. Seeing the first Star Wars film in the theater was truly a powerful experience. Especially combined with the tremendous musical score by John Williams.
Luciana got lucky that he couldn’t realise his full vision. It made the movie better to have gaps that we filled in with our imagination. Eg having Jabba the Hut just referrred to.
Nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture but won for
Best Visual Effects
Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Effects
Best Film Editing
Best Production Design
Best Costume Design
Best Original Score.
It made $770 million dollars ($2 billion dollars today) against a $10 million dollar budget.
And then Lucas went and reedited and added modern CGI visual effects, and new scenes. The movie isn’t what was shown in 1977, that won all the awards.
I’ll never understand how you guys don’t have a million subscribers, you two are the absolute BEST reaction couple that exists. ❤ keep it up mates
They can be considered quite obnoxious to some people.
Frankly, they're something of an acquired taste.
They're likely too edgy and funny for all the sensitive and uptight people today.
@@theshadowfax239that’s just criminal 😂 but I get that everyone has their own taste. But for me they are hilarious and makes jokes and have their banter but also actually take what they’re watching seriously and pay attention to details. It’s entertaining at the very least. I love Hannah🙌🏼🤣
"Penetrates us? The Force sounds great." That's a quote for the ages.
You two make my day. Hannah's commentary was extra HILARIOUS on this one. You two could both do stand up comedy.
I was 10 or 11 years old when this movie came out. It was mind-blowing, but there was no expectation of sequels at that time. It just wasn’t a common thing. The little town where I lived had 1 theatre with 1 screen. They would show just one movie three times a day for a week. This movie was so big that they extended the run for 4 weeks. I saw this movie 10 times in that month.
this was amazing in 1977, I saw it four times in the first week, waited in line for hours to get in, sat through it twice (back when you could do that). This is the remastered version for the 20th anniversary in 1997 - lots of the effects have been updated in this version, but the original was still great
The original was better because the CGI doesn't hold up today.
5:00 Hannah: 'It looks like a really great Lego toy.' Check out the Lego toy aisle and see the number of SW inspired builds. 👌😁
You guys are in for such a ride. 100% excited for you to experience the other movies!
Lol
This is to SciFi what Psycho is to slasher movies.
You two just have me so hyped for so many franchise reactions!! Youve become one of my favorite youtubers. Both of you always make my day!!❤
Mate that is such massive compliment, appreciate you so much ❤️
@@justtrustash Love you guys! One thing about the Vader/Kenobi fight is neither of them had engaged in light saber combat in 15 to 20 years, Obi-Wan is really old, and Vader has had 3/4 of his limbs replaced with robotics. So it kinda makes sense that they were slow and clumsy.
So just a little explanation without spoilers, the force is like an energy field that surrounds everything and the Jedi`s are people who are trained to use that force. It gives them abilities, which you will see in these movies. Everybody could theoretically be a Jedi, but they would be weak, only a few in the galaxy are force sensitive if you are force sensitive then you can actually be a Jedi. If one of your parents was a Jedi then it is most likely that you are force sensitive too.
I've honestly never watched a video of yours that I haven't loved from start to finish, the chemistry you 2 have with each other is unlike anything I've watched anywhere else
Yooooo. I love all your videos. It was awesome joining you through Harry Potter and I’m so happy to join you two on your Star Wars journey. I also like how you started on Episode 4. The end of Chapter 3 wraps everything up perfectly. I’m also joining Hannah on her Stranger Things journey. Keep it up you two. Lovely couple and great content!
Another thing about the fight scene between Darth and Obi One was that when he saw Luke, he allowed himself to be thrust into the Force instead of keeping up the fighting bit. It did not escalate because of that.
Obi-wan had to tap out, otherwise Luke would have kept fighting to save him. In the end, everyone would have died trying to fight a few thousand stormtroopers. By Obi-wan dying in front of him, Luke got closure and was able to retreat without feeling like he abandoned his mentor.
Obi-wan knew he wasn’t leaving. “Your fate lies along a different path from mine “.
"penetrates us? Ther force sounds great." Absolutely lmao. Thanks :D
Both of y’all’s closing points are all spot on! I look forward to watching your reactions to the rest of these!
You should definitely check out the Star Wars parody, 'Spaceballs' directed by Mel Brooks. You'll love it. And the Mel Brooks rabbit hole is an amazing one to dive down. Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, History of the World Part I, The Producers, Robin Hood: Men in Tights--all comedy GOLD.
Just recommended for them to watch Spaceballs too 😅 ....so I second you in this 😊
Only good reason to watch starwars is for space balls references ;)
You two are so funny together. Can't wait for other movies in the trilogy. Or even the prequel trilogy.
Give us all of it!! Appreciate you mate ❤️👊🏽
but not sequel disney trilogy))
@@vadimkiruhin1226 yeah yeah, because you didn't like the candy you got, nobody else can enjoy it.. Why don't you go watch Barbie, probably more your style..
@@ChristianSander1969thank you someone from Internet) people said that Barbie was a great movie i think I should watch something better then boring and lame disney triligy
@@vadimkiruhin1226 This is not a popular opinion but I quite enjoyed the Disney Trilogy it was not as good as the first 6 films written by George Lucas but Disney do not understand how Star Wars works and disregarded everything Lucas suggested, they have got better as they have done more stuff with star Wars though
"What Princess Films are you watching?!" Lmao
The little robot is a class of mechanic robots (they fix things) but can also serve as a co-pilot in that story - it needs to be exposed in that role so it can get out and repair the ships too.
It also has an ace up its sleeve - it can fly.
R2 units are Astro mechanics.
I absolutely ADORE experiencing Star Wars again for the first time with reactors here on RUclips and what a treat that we all get to do that with you two! What a fun watch! I may start calling Obiwon 'Obi' because of you two and how affectionately you referred to him as such XD such an iconic performance by Sir Alec Guinness (and such a pity he came to loathe the role to a degree (called it "fairytale rubbish" XD) because he wanted to be remembered as a classical thespian.
Star Wars holds such a special place in my heart. My dad was there on opening day to see this in 1977 and as soon as I was old enough to sit through a movie he had me watch this and the rest of the OG trilogy. Darth Vader was an instant hit with me and I used to call him up on my Playskool red telephone to invite him over for tea 😅 he never came though - so rude.
The legend of all movies... The actual first star wars. So much fun to (re)watch with you guys. Looking forward to next parts... great reactions as usual... 👍👍👍
Your take about fights and it being in the 70s is exactly why the scene was the way it was. Back then, it seemed every action movie was literally fights, barroom brawls, etc... This fight scene was just about making a point. But as you'll see, they realized that all the action movies with fighting, brawling and high choreography was there for a reason, people love it. So, you'll see them bring it back in.
I know you've seen all the comments about people seeing back then, but it was so much more than being there. We had seen nothing like this. Heck, I'd even say the blasters were more popular than the lightsaber to some degree.
Younger people don't realize what the world was like when this movie came out... It's really hard to convey what it was like for us when it came out.
“Darth Vader has a bit of a bitchy vibe” it gets even better when you know his backstory 🤣
I saw this in the theater at age 11. Life changing, for a kid, and all his friends.
I have never seen someone focus so much on the "penetration" of the force lol great reaction guys love it lol
Hahaha can’t wait to have you on this journey with us mate 👊🏽
@@justtrustash also just to help you guys out a bit on the knowledge of the force, in the starwars universe the force is a micro organism called Midichlorians(h is silent). Its in all living things some have it more then others those that have a high density of it can learn to use the force if they wish.
@@Senji75All of the "science" stuff added later is pure garbage. That's why it was dropped in later movies, and never referred to again.
Somehow the red hair feels perfectly Mara Jade red. Mara is probably the most popular character not from the movies or Lucas, but from books comics and games that were canon until darth disney bought star wars. Luke's future wife and about the biggest bad ass alive.
You guys are the most fun movie reactors ever, love you both so much. Hope you enjoy sharing your reactions with us for a long time to come.
I have waited as patiently as I could for so soooooooooo long for you two to watch this epic trilogy!!!!!
Hope you enjoyed it mate ❤️
All six pieces are to be watched. The last 3 (2015-2019), IDK, matter of preference. The other 3 (1999-2005) i think are very interesting from "how the politics work" prospective.
@@justtrustash you two never let me down! As soon as I found your channel I subscribed after the first twenty seconds and you hadn’t even started the movie! Your banter is infectious and I love the “daddy chill” clips! You are, by far, the most entertaining couple who review movies together.
@@sorinturle4599 I can’t wait until they watch Rogue 1 after Revenge of the Sith. It’s going to be epic when they see it all!!!!
Ash and Hannah:
True story about Leia’s nipples…
Carrie Fisher’s costume wardrobe did not include a bra. She told George Lucas she needed one, and he turned her down. The excuse he gave her was, “there’s no underwear in space.”
Marvelous reaction, I’m sure I’ll watch it a hundred times. You two are the best!
Paul
I read somewhere that they used duct tape to prevent the nipples from showing, and Carrie had a little raffle at the end of shooting every day to see who would get to take the tape off. No idea if it's true but I like to imagine it is.
@@AcidicHotwire Yes, I heard that as well, evidently these is duct tape in space.
I really dig the fact that you guys started with the true first film love your videos I found your videos when I was running out of stuff on you tube I usually like one person reactions your the only reaction duo I go for keep up the content my friends and be safe
28:36 Chewbacca was inspired by George Lucas’s Alaskan Malamute Indiana. He used to sit upfront in Lucas’s car like a furry copilot.
Indiana? Where have I heard that name before?
As an 8 year old when this came out let’s just say it was life changing for many of us. This, and franchises like Indiana Jones, Aliens and Terminator defined our childhood and teenage years. I must admit, I’m fortunate that I got to live that period in American history, at those ages, it really was a magical time.
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!! THOSE DEFINITELY WERE THE DAYS, MAKES ME SO SAD HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED FOR THE MUCH MUCH WORSE!!!!!!!
@@HonRevPTBIt's sad that the generations afterwards didn't have the same things.
Mistakes were made, yes, but it's channels and creators like this that can give everyone a similar experience.
I enjoyed the reaction and hopefully others who didn't see SW in the theater (and weren't introduced to it by their older family members) enjoyed it, too
@@LA_HA I TOTALLY AGREE!!! My famous quote that everyone reminds of always is as we were walking into the theater, I was 5, and I saw the poster and said "Aww come on is this gonna be another love movie!?!?" I thought it was going to be some boring love story!!! Hey it was the 70s, the adults were always dragging us kids to that crap!!! Kids today have it easy, everyone and everything caters to them, unfortunately today a lot of it is quite detrimental, but it sure was different then and I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!!!!
@@HonRevPTB [Edited for clarity] I'm sure there are people from previous generations who prefer Now to Then. I just don't know any. Heck, even younger people I know would rather have grown up Then instead of Now.
I watch videos of how Gen X and Gen Z grew up. The difference is stark. I'd take Then over Now Any Day
@@LA_HA Yes definitely!!!
"Penetrates us? The force sounds great." - that was so worth watching for that absolute gem lol
Loved this reaction! You two seemed impressed with the music score during the deaths of Luke's aunt and uncle. The composer for Star Wars is the same man who composed for the Indiana Jones films, Superman The Movie, Jaws, and the Harry Potter films, the incomparable John Williams! :)
By the way, you mentioned how good the movie looked for one that premiered in the 70s. I'm sure many here in the comments may have already mentioned, but the editions you're watching are the Special Editions from the mid 90s that creator, George Lucas, did adding more special effects, added cgi, scenes and other things to expand the first film trilogy. All three of them were first released in theaters in the 90s then hit home video. In my opinion, the original versions as they were done in the 70s and 80s are much better than the special editions.
I can't tell you how excited i am to see you guys react to the rest of them.
