![Eminem - Fuel (Shady Edition) feat. Westside Boogie & GRIP [Official Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/k1OquBida9s/mqdefault.jpg)
It's so strange, every time I look back on this movie, I don't remember it holding up as much, but then I rewatch it and it's so much fun. What a fantastic ride of a movie.
Perfect summary of what this movie is.
I have two older brothers. They had all the Star Wars toys. (Actually still do) My little sister and I were given an extra Princess Leia and an extra Yoda to play with and they hung out with our She-Ra dolls.
When I was a little older maybe 10 or 11 I watched Star Wars A New Hope on a VHS that was taped off TV. It was the CBS Sunday night movie. I fell in love with it. I watched it so many times I remember the commercial breaks. The first one is when the Tuscan Raider raises his staff over his head and starts yelling over Luke (Before Ben scares him off). We had a remote (that plugged into the VCR) so I was able to fast forward through the commercials.
We also had Empire taped but not Jedi. I remember begging to go to our local video store Captain Video and it was already taken out. I can only imagine the anguish my brothers went through waiting three years to see what happened to Han.
Eventually we got the VHS box sets. And the special editions. My sister and I watched them all. We have our own marathons inside jokes and favorite scenes. We see every new movie and show together.
This is the movie that built a franchise. It gave a generation hope. It made our imaginations soar and inspired so many.
(subtle force choke) I find your lack of faith disturbing.... One of the simplest, yet badass lines/moments in movie history, by a hero or a villain. Love it every time
It is a GREAT line!
ANH is up there with Empire. It's grown on me so much over the years. Remember watching ANH in 77 and it was awesome. What a movie
I watched this movie for the first time with my father when I was six or so. It really works for all audiences and you pick up more from it the older you get.
This is true.
I love Steph’s reaction when she learns about the edited Jabba scene.
Genuine.
I am really loving these kinds of reviews. Mike and Steph gives fresh and different perspectives as well.
Thank you!
Christmas 1978 I had the toys Storm Trooper, CP30, R2D2, Luke, Vader, Obiwan & Leia. such great days
That is awesome!
I’m sure someone’s mentioned it, but the movie that the studios paired Star Wars with at the theaters to get them to show it was called “The Other Side of Midnight.” So ironic that this movie, which today has been completely forgotten about, was used as an incentive to get theaters to play Star Wars.
thanks!
watching the Collider Video commentary long ago with Schnepp brings me joy
:)
@41:00 I love... LOVE how excited you all are. I love the pure excitement that star wars brings out. Even just talking about the regional governors and how it established some bits of lore, MIke's face and how into it, is so good. Star Wars can be a bitter, angry shit throwing fest at times...but then there's talks like this that are just from pure love.
Thank you!
Oh WOW I did not know that about Jabba being human, this is why I tune in to you guys. Great review.
Thank you! Yeah you can see the scene on RUclips I am sure.
I like that whole explanation about Tatooine aging you up due time working differently. That can also explain how they don’t have to age down Temura Morrison in the Mando timeline, bc Boba should really look like Temura during Attack of the Clones but instead it’s an older Temura
I mean they have time and space, use it!
There's also the added damage from 2 suns instead of one
@@generalgrievous696 yep, was looking for this comment 👌🏼 ☀️☀️
My dad showed this movie (and the rest of the OT) to me when I was 3 in preparation for The Phantom Menace. Instead of bedtime stories, we'd talk about Star Wars lore. A perfect movie. Been obsessed ever since.
Good dad.
Wish i had been as lucky as you...my dad raised me on Manhunter and the first two Alien movies and i haven't had a good night's sleep since.
My earliest memories are watching this movie (pre special editions VHS), coloring a Star Wars coloring book on the living room floor. This will always be my favorite Star Wars
Totally get it!
TSC: Nicely Done, really enjoyed the podcast and discussion! "May The Force Be With Us All"
San Antonio native here -- nice to see Mike wearing the Chris Madrid's hat!
Nice call
When you first started this rewatch I thought "well ok, I guess I'll watch all these movies for the umpteenth time over..." But as almost every time I find new little things here and there in the films as I grow older and see them in a different light. Thank you for the very entertaining analysis and conversation. I look forward to the rest of the series
Thank you, so glad you are watching along with us!
my favourite memory of this moive is watching after Thanksgiving at my Grandma's house on her couch, just flipping through channels and finding New Hope end scene. didn't know it was Star Wars or how important it was to movies but I liked the action and the princess at the end. my number one SW movie.
Love that!
I turned 3 in June 1977, and my older sister was 5. We're pretty sure my mom took us that summer to see it when my dad was out of town, and my sister wanted to see it. That Christmas we got the record, The Story of Star Wars, narrated by Roscoe Lee Browne. It was his narration mixed with the audio from the film. We listened to that a lot, and the end of the first side is the music when they're being tractor beamed into the Death Star, and the second side picks up right in the middle of that music. They timed it really well. That held us over well with the story for when Empire Strikes Back came out. We still have that record.
Nice. That is amazing.
I was 5 in April 77 and Star Wars inspired me to get into design and engineering. The ship designs were perfect whereas others left a lot to be desired. I got the soundtrack on Vinyl and played it all the time so your story resonates with me! Great show and agree with KH on OT
From someone who did see it back in the 70s, it was awesome. People fell in love with R2D2 immediately, and everyone clapped at the end. There was nothing like it.
Theater experiences so different back then.
@@TheKristianHarloff so true. I was five years old when my family went to see Star Wars. It was my dad, mom, older brother and sister. We queued for over two hours, and the line went around the block. It was insane. So glad we had nice weather that day. When R2D2 got shot by the Jawas and fell over, everyone went "Awww". And the awe of seeing that Star Destroyer for the first time. There is nothing like it. I don't think I've ever had the same experience since. It changed everything.
I was 12 when the movie first came out, everything about the movie transfixed me and I love it still.
I cannot separate the music, effects, action and storyline it is one.
It was fun watching the three of you and Steph’s reaction, cannot wait until next week.
Empire!!

Guys, I might be crazy, but did anyone else see A New Hope for the first time on Fox? I seem to remember an ad campaign where Bart Simpson is flying the trench run on the Death Star and Homer is chasing him as Earth Vader. I distinctly remember that commercial, but maybe I didn't see A New Hope until my parents bought me the ORIGINAL trilogy on VHS. Either way, I love this movie. I get so irrationally emotional when Luke is staring off into the distance as the two suns set to that awesome score.
Doesn't sound crazy at all.
This is still my favorite movie of all time. It’s the beginning of my favorite universe. Lucas did something so special with this film. I’ve always said with Lucas less is more & I think this movie absolutely proves that point in visuals & story. He didn’t need $100 million to make this movie, he didn’t need computers (originally) to make the visual effects, he simply needed 1 guy at a studio & hippies in California to believe in his script & vision!
It is just a classic above all classics
As a longtime fan, I think these "Rewatches" are the perfect blend of classic and modern Schmoes.
Thank you Layton, we are having a blast doing them.
I'm of the prequel generation as well, but it is easy to see why A New Hope is so beloved. It's my #3 behind Empire and Rogue One. I love the simple story, the characters, the music, everything. Before Last Jedi, Luke was my overall favorite Star Wars character, but for consistency across the movies and animated series like Clone Wars and Rebels, I'd now say that Obi-Wan is my overall favorite Star Wars character. The Kenobi series...I don't want to overhype myself, but let's say I have very high hopes for it.
I cannot wait for it.
4yrs old when I watched Star Wars back in 77, my parents said I was playing up in theater to point were my mum was about to take me out, until opening scene & my mum said I instantly shut up & didn't say another word throuout movie..
It blew my tiny mind!!...
It was the best!
Other than 2001 A Space Odyssey, there
was not really any other Sci-Fi Movies, Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope set the precedence and the others followed after 1977. Great Review Sith Council! Enjoyed listening on all of your takes on Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope, really look forward to The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi! "May The Force Be With Us All"
Facts
Also, not sure if this has been mentioned. And I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, because there's no way I could host, produce and direct a show like you do, but the 3 shot is a little off when it is arranged as Steph, Kristian, Mike. Because I know that K is on my left, but when K's box is in the middle, S is looking off screen to the left (when I know she's actually looking at K). Also, the continuity of the background is off. I say this with all due respect to this FREE show. Just something I noticed in this video and the Solo video as well. Still going to keep watching these are really fun and interesting.
It has been switched up recently I believe but the whole studio is changing soon.
Another great review guys! When talking about Episode 4 it always naturally becomes an instant nostalgia fest and thats a testament to how beloved the movie is.
For me its pretty much flawless and although Empire is my favourite for the majority of time, this one occasionally takes top spot because it's simply that dam good!
My favourite dialogue sequence in this movie is probably between Luke and Han when on the death star and R2 discovers Leia in the detention area. That whole back and forth about rescuing her has me in stitches every time 🤣
Totally agree. Just a major milestone film all the way around.
They're dying, R2! Kills me every time, Threepio thinking they all get crushed in garbage.
@@doomraven0 the humour in the OT is perfect all the way. It just comes across natural and unforced unlike movies in recent times!
Biggest takeaway was that the first time Leia is onscreen (aside from the quick distance shot of her with R2-D2) is that she's holding a blaster. Instantly says she's a badass.
Word
I re-watched Star Wars about a month ago just to see and hear Maclunkey for myself haha. In all seriousness, beautiful 4K transfer
Just not needed!! Haha
Hot Take: this is still the best Star Wars film
Nah
Top 3
I go Empire but it is not a horrible take
Great stuff!!!🤘🏻
Thank you!
every now and then i have to rewatch this movie to remind me how GOOD is it ! and then, I always have to watch ESB right away !
Yup
The new sound Obiwan makes is the sound of that Lizard that he is Riding during his chase with Grievous and when Cody shoots him down during order 66. It's no longer a krayt Dragon sound. I agree though. It's a lame change. There is a Gary Kurtz interview here on youtube where he says that every time he see's that Jabba scene he cringes. That scene is unnecessary because all of that dialog was already established during the Greedo scene. Which is why it was not in the original cut in the first place. I love these rewatch video's btw. So fun
Thank you sir, agree with all of that and yeah no need to put that Lizard sound in there.
Luke was some nephew. His aunt and uncle who raised him were killed and he never mentions them again. All he cares about is his evil father who’s killed hundreds of people. Peter Parker should have a talk with that kid
It is true, cares more about Biggs
So the change on Disney plus for New Hope was done by George Lucas when he was making the 4K versions of Star Wars before he sold it to Disney, I believe Dave filoni or Pablo said this on Twitter
Makes sense
@@TheKristianHarloff shows you how ahead George Lucas thinks, means he was thinking of 4k around 2010/2012 before 4k tvs where becoming a thing
Thank you Marcia Lucas
Ken and talk about this a lot on Friday's ep of Big Thing
Cool hat Mike... they do have good burgers!!!!
Yum
I wonder if we’ll see a young Leia also. Just as an Easter egg. I don’t need it but it would be cool to see in the Obi-Wan series.
I think she could show up in Obi, yes
The reason Bader didn’t open the blast door was the plan was to let them escape . Talkin says it to Badee minutes later . Are you sure the homing beacon is on the ship We’re taking a big risk . That’s what led them to the rebel base. Remember?
Bad Vader Bader typo sorry 😞
Talkin? Gosh my typings bad Tarkin
Word
Couple things, George Lucas was actually a huge part of the editing process for a new hope, the rough cut is called that for a reason and people pretend that it's his fault the rough draft wasn't perfect. Second, George Lucas didn't surround himself with yes men who didn't tell him no, cause it did actually happen, Lucasfilm hired people to do the jobs they needed to make the prequels. Those are the movies they wanted to make. They weren't movies some people wanted to see, was the problem
Fair
I cannot wait to watch this with my boy, I've told him that he can watch when he is 7, that's in March, he is so excited to see it! 😂😂😁
Let me know what he thinks!
That thumbnail tho🤣🙌
:) Bryan War rules
Great vid guys. If you want to do a deep dive on the making of the original trilogy then you need to watch the Empire of Dreams documentary. Its available on RUclips for free. So great! It really illustrates what Kristian mentioned regarding the UK film crew laughing at Lucas and the fate of everything coming together so brilliantly. Would love a reaction on this as well.
Thanks for the tip!
6 mins to go and 1 thumbs down smh... “I can feel the hate...”
Well I give it 2 thumbs up! Looking forward to the breakdown of the OG Star Wars. Each of these deep dives have been a lot of fun keep up the good work! 🥃
Thank you and yeah some people just want to be turds. Such is life!
Please guys once you’ve done all the movies give us your rankings from from 11 to 1 love to see how you all compare with your rankings maybe add the tv shows in there as well especially with The Mandalorian 🙏🎥would be a great show
We talked about this for sure.
You talk a little about a puppet Yoda appearing in Kenobi but I remember seeing TLJ midnight premiere screening and the entire room burst out in laughter when the puppet showed up. I know they tracked down the original molds to make it but it just didn't work, at least for me and that crowd.
Really interesting.
I watched this on my girlfriends VHS version she just got a little tv from the thrift store for a couple bucks to watch our old VHS tapes. I hope I can find empire and return on VHS as well. This one felt different watching it like that!
I have it on VHS somewhere!
Another great discussion.
Thank you! We are having a lot of fun doing them!
Only 10 minutes in. I was ssooooooo looking forward to this.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I actually like the Han and Jabba scene because the Dialogue is great and it's in the book now in the special editions I didnt realize the Jabba CGI was bad until Phantom Menace came out I'm like Jabba looks younger in A New Hope than he does in Menace then in 2005 they up dated the Special editions so he looks a lot better now he still has that Stupid Look on his face when Han steps on his tail but overall he looks way better now than he did in 97 so I'm glad that scene is their
True
36:24 I end up watching that fight than the film fight
True
I remember seeing the original trailer for Star Wars in the movie theater when I was 7 years old (yes, I'm old!). It was shown along with the trailer for The Demon Seed. I thought the trailer was horrible. I remember the voiceover saying, "the story of a boy, a girl, and a galaxy" along with clips that looked really bad (watch the trailer now and it is pretty awful). At the time, I thought R-rated Demon Seed looked much more interesting! Then that summer my parents' friends told us about this great new movie that we needed to see - Star Wars. Unfortunately, I don't remember my first viewing, but I know I loved it. I do remember seeing it again that summer with my aunt, uncle, and younger cousins. I thought Princess Leia was awesome and wanted to be her. Han Solo became my first movie crush. I wanted Han and Leia to end up together since they were my two favorites. I devoured everything Star Wars after that summer. I had books, trading cards, some of the action figures, and the Story of Star Wars LP which featured an abridged version of the movie with a narrator and actual clips from the movie. I listened to that LP all the freaking time. I've lost count of how many times I've seen this movie, but I can safely say that this is the movie that I've watched the most in my life.
What a great memory!
Great show y'all. I was in a similar boat as Steph (I think we're around the same age), in that I was a kid during the prequel era, and I loved them at the time, and the originals didn't do much for me. Then when I got older, I came to appreciate the originals much more, and now Empire is one of my favorite movies of all time (can't wait for next week). Funny enough though, I actually overcorrected and started hating on the prequels. Now I have come around to the prequels again, and the sequels are the ones I'm pretty sour on right now. My experience with Star Wars has been a weird roller coaster, and it seems my thoughts and rankings change every time I rematch them. Which is really weird for me because I usually know right away what I think of a movie.
Can't believe I haven't been watching y'all all along. I'll have to go back and watch the old shows. Keep up the good work!
Hey all good Curt, how did you rediscover us?
@@TheKristianHarloff I didn’t really. Just a time thing. I am a big Schmoedown fan and watch the other stuff when I can. A lot of times what I will do is clear the notification, mean to watch it later, and just forget. I don’t have time to watch everything but I’ll definitely make it a point to never skip this show again. It’s certainly possible that the fact that y’all posted at a different time last week, when I was more available and able to watch it right away before I could forget about it, that reminded me how good this show was and now I won’t forget about it. Also I’ll watch anything Steph is a part of.
Man, watching this a year later and seeing yall getting your hopes up for Obi-Wan is kinda depressing lol
Great breakdown! I always cringe when I see Jabba. Even at the time of the re-release, I hated it. Notice how much shinier Vader’s helmet gets through each film? Can’t wait for Empire rewatch. Maclunkey!!!!
And on my birthday!
Drunk Nascar fan 😄🤣 The Jabba scene is bad and spoils the reveal of the Falcon imo. At least the 2004 Jabba is better than the 1997 version. Another great discussion guys. Look forward to next week for my favourite Star Wars movie and one of my favourite movies of all time.
Big spoil of Falcon
It was Kenner, not Sears or JC Penney and originally George got a ridiculously small percent - that changed later on.
Well either way, hand over fist.
Deadass love this show.
Thank you!
19:00 I wonder if Alec Guinness being in this influenced Peter Cushing to be in the movie, or visa versa?
It def helped someone! I think Cushing was on first.
Whenever I think about ANH these days, I would compare it to buying a new novel you know nothing about, and start reading it from the middle chapter.
It's only when you read the whole book, do you realise just how great that section was.
Interesting.
29:03 just a little? I mean, those movies killed any chance of Ahmed Best, Jake Lloyd, and Hayden Christensen having decent careers. Natalie Portman said she almost suffered the same fate after Episode 1
True
I always remember seeing episode 4 as a kid and I can tell you that I honestly thought that R2 was the star
Ha
The krayt sound in the special edition is the sound of a coyote I'm almost 95% positive of it because I've heard packs of coyotes in the canyon where I used to live and the sound they make was almost exactly like that
Sounds so silly haha
A New Hope is my 3rd favorite of the films
What's the first 2
@@TheKristianHarloff Empire and ROTS
Are you guys gonna continue this series?
Yes, took off for two weeks. One week was a screw up, one week was intentional. Back next week!
@Harloff, so did you catch the Vader chest piece not lit up? No lights working?
No forgot to look! oof
@@TheKristianHarloff watch real quick the part where he comes in after initial gun battle as he looks around or when he is holding Lei back before alderman blown up. Just like to get the Harloff, oh yeah they blew it there, lol
@harloff, bummer about the empire deleted taping, no jedi today?
Back next week!
This film REALLY needs the classic 1997 version re-released. The only issues I have with it at all are the crappy CGI additions. I honestly don't hate a lot of the added things in the original trilogy but the ones in A New Hope are especially egregious and distracting
Yeah not needed
Empire is better, but A New Hope is my favorite.
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend watching Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. You can really see where Lucas got a lot of his inspiration for Star Wars.
Great comment!
I HATE Han's head movement when Greedo shoots. It looks like his head disconnects
It is bad
Gonna have to respectfully disagree with Mike's statement on there weren't any good scifi films before Star Wars. Imo, 2001: A Space Odyssey is not only a solid scifi film with effects that still hold up, but also a masterpiece when it comes to film in general.
Well to be fair, Star Wars not pure sci-fi, sci-fi fantasy
@@TheKristianHarloff you got a point there.
You guys talked about Obi-Wan knowing about Anakin and Padme pregnancy. Didn't they sorta allude to that in The Bad Batch arc of The Clone Wars Season 7?
Did they? I don't remember.
I don't know that they alluded to her being pregnant but I do know Obi-Wan knew what was up when Anakin had rex standing guard outside when he made a secret holocall to Padme and Obi-Wan told rex to tell him to say hi to senator amedala
I don’t see a difference between sitting on a log and standing on the ground. The force ghosts should really be flying
Truth
IMO still the best of them all. Empire was always 2nd to me.
Not the first person I have heard say it!
When obi wan tells Luke I was once a Jedi knight does that mean he feels the same as Luke describes in 8 you no the jedi not being the end all be all for the light?
Maybe so.
If you think the stepping on Jabba's tail looks silly now then go back and look at the 1997 bug-eyed version... The Greedo scene was so butchered it almost ruins the film... Beru clearly doesn't know Anakin is Vader yet Owen possibly does if you go by the tone of their words after Luke walks out on their lunch, lots of potential to explore this in Obi-Wan... At 7 years old saw A New Hope in the theater in 1982, the film had such an edge to it with burning corpses, a torture droid, all the cantina violence, etc - had no idea George made it for 12 year olds until I was an adult. Children and adults loved this film as is so all the goofiness in the prequels was completely unnecessary...
Yeah lots of things that maybe shouldn't have been messed with
Would you ever do an episode where you each pitch an idea for YOUR Star Wars movie?
Eh I don't know. For me, would just be Darth Bane or Young Palpatine, Plagueis series.
@@TheKristianHarloff Sorry, I should have been more detailed with my question. I meant that you would each pitch an ORIGINAL Star Wars story. I know how passionate you are about Bane and whatnot though, so I'm for sure down to see whatever that might be like.
Thanks for the reply and keep up the great work. 👍
Drunk NASCAR fan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Am I wrong?
@@TheKristianHarloff spot on 👌🏽👌🏽😂😂😂😂
The bummer thing for me about watching the original films in light of the prequels and clone wars is how it does no favors to the droids. So I can see how Obi Wan might deny knowing R2, but wouldn't R2 tell 3PO he knows that old dude and would tell Luke? Same issue I have with R2 and Yoda. Every time I watch Empire now, and it gets to the Dagobah stuff, I can't help but think how the prequels/clone wars messes up the continuity of the originals with the droids (specifically R2) and who they come across. Don't get me wrong, I don't obsess over it, but it does bug me.
I do love some of the irony though. Like how in the beginning of A New Hope, unbeknownst to Vader, he's looking for the droid he built and his old navigational droid.
Yes, I said this in one of the rewatches, why weren't both droids memories wiped?! Should have been different droids in the prequels.
@@TheKristianHarloff Exactly!
where did you get that Star Wars shirt?
Can't remember!
Rouge one was a great star wars movie and ROTS
Yeah I don't think either are GREAT but think Rogue is really good and think Sith is good. But to be fair, I don't just hand out great.
It was called star wars in 1977 not A New Hope
Yup
Technically George did know that darth Vader was Luke son uncle Owen says when aunt beru say he has to much of he’s father in him he says that’s what I’m afraid of
Nah, he didn't know at that point.
I know Empire is the Best Star Wars film but I feel this and Jedi are what Star Wars is to George Lucas however, if Stephen Speilberg or other Directors and Writers did it for him these movies would be EVEN BETTER! I know old video so why bother commenting but I like going back to these and watching them again both the movie and rewatch to see if I still feel the same after experiencing Dune 1 and 2 and Andor. I hope Mandalorian and more shows go back to how OT Trilogy feels and less Prequel and Sequel vibe. Mando Season 3 felt more like Sequel territory as we were starting in OT in Season 1, 2 we were exiting OT with Boba Left OT to Sequel and Mando Season 3 and Ahsoka we are in new trilogy era i feel just from how everything is shot and looks design wise.
Also why is Leia british in some scenes and isn't in others?
Since you have the arcade machine there why don’t each of you go on the Star Wars trench run on camera? Enjoy the rewatch of each of the movies. Thanks all of you so much!
We should do that!
Is there still going to be an empire video?
Yes but I messed up and deleted the episode that Steph and I did.
@@TheKristianHarloff aw man! Well can’t wait to see it. Been checking constantly 😅
I feel like I need the rest of this series :p
What is it on October 8th, stand up? Or star wars stuff?
In NY? Oct 7-8, stand up in Manhattan and Brookyln is the Schmoedown championship in Brookyln
Ah man this is hard to listen to now, everyone was so exorcised about obi wan
The Kenobi show comments did not age well 😂
George is a little full of crap. People believe he had all 6 movies planned from the beginning. He had many ideas, but the details like Anakin being Vader were not originally there
Agreed
HAN. SHOT. FIRST.
Yup
Technically Jaws started the blockbuster years earlier in 75.
I mean sure but this is what started the big budget franchise summer pics
Love your show guys. You and RFR have my favorite SW commentary because you're well balanced between having positive and negative takes. But most importantly you're always honest.
You aren't a part of the Fandumb Degenerates that monetized hate. Then hijacked geek culture discourse to indoctrinate and brainwash others to adopt their warped and slanted political ideology.
And haven't succumbed to becoming a part of the access media segment of fandom where everything is overly positive to maintain access to industry perks.
We agree on all things SW most of the time and it's great.
More talk on where fans could get the non-revisionist, unaltered version of the OT like the De-Specialized Edition, Project 4k77, and the Silverscreen edition of SW would've been nice though. Especially with all the mentions of how unhappy you were with most of the 97' alterations as I and many of us were.
Keep up the great work though.
Thank you Ben!
RFR?
@@ryancraig6675 Rebel Force radio. Look them up on YT. They are easily in the top two or three when it comes to Star Wars commentary.
They even have a great video when they were invited to Skywalker Ranch by Dave exclusively because he was also a fan.
@@boomieboo thanks
@@ryancraig6675 No problem. It's a little sad that Dave probably doesn't follow them any longer after literally giving them a Lucasfilm award for their work.
Apparently he cut them off due to them talking negatively about the sequels and or Kathleen Kennedy a little too much for his liking.
But they still haven't stopped being honest about either which is a testament to their integrity. They're going to be truthful no matter the outcome which is why I like them so much.
And most importantly they do so without all the anti-left, anti-sjw, anti woke politically indoctrinating rhetoric that pours out of the fandom Menace incessantly.
Instead they just provide commentary on Star Wars alone without all the political spin. It's refreshing and great. So enjoy if you give them a listen.
Marcia Lucas deserves so much more credit. This is a great video that breaks down how Star Wars was saved in the edit. She truly cobbled together a mess of ideas into a great movie. ruclips.net/video/GFMyMxMYDNk/видео.html
She was magic on these
I'm gonna defend (sort of) the Han shot first moment. I first saw this movie in 97, special edition. I didn't know anything about Star Wars, never saw it, never heard about it. And I loved it of course. I never once thought anything about the Han scene. He knew Greedo was gonna kill him so he took his gun out and shot him. That's all that I saw. Never even noticed that Greedo got a shot in, and even if I had, it was too quick for it to be self defense. He straight up murdered Greedo because he was gonna get it otherwise. So, while I agree that changing it is silly, I never once got a different message from that scene than people who saw the original. It is unnecessary for sure, but if you don't know any better it doesn't change a thing. Those cgi creatures blocking the screen in Mos Eisley are far more annoying. (And credit where credit is due, the space battle is greatly improved. The original shots, revolutionary as they were, was showing its age there)
Eh, it just looks too goofy.
@@TheKristianHarloff yes I don't disagree with that. Especially in the 97 edit.
It’s not sith council if Mike ain’t eating
Facts
Did Vader know Layla was his daughter? It feels like he was stalling about killing her.
Emperor told him padme died he may have assumed the baby died as well he had no idea he had twins untill Luke focused his feelings on Leia in return of the Jedi ... There was books not sure if cannon or not about him seeking information on the piolet who destroyed the deathstar that had the force ... Once he discovered the name of Luke that's when he thought of converting him and overthrowing his master as father and son ...the emperor wanted Luke to replace Vader cause Vader was damaged and could never get his full darkside potential
@@lifeasafanpodcast9529 just me projecting I guess. Thank you.
He didnt know about her until the end of Return of the Jedi
Not until Jedi. He fond out about Luke during 4-5, I think Boba Fett gives him the information about Luke in the comics if I remember correctly.
I doubt he knew but it could have always been one of those sub conscious things that never manifested it self that was a deep down strange feeling
Painful to keep seeing you guys hype up obi wan. Some great aspects but disappointing in the elements you guys look forward to here (character study, return of Qui Gon), especially appreciating the thoughtfulness that goes into Ewan’s performance
