      George Lucas talked on the reason why Chewbacca didn't get a Medal the reason he refused one is because his race the wookies didn't care much for material wealth or precious metals.
      Disney eventually changed It when they bought star wars but it is a nice little bit of info.

      Now If you desire,Try for Empire Strikes Back....Better prepare yourself..It WILL get dark..BUT Luke WILL be trained...Wait`ll you see who and how Luke`ll be trained, and these scenes, where crazy incidents happened: The Mind affect on those storm troopers,are known as the Jedi Mind Trick. The Choking you saw was a SITH power....Vader is a Sith Lord...That is a Dark Sith Lord Power..Basically It is called The Sith Force Choke When Vader swung and tried cutting down Kanobi,he died,But his Conciousness and Spirit Ascended into The Force,and Became A Force Spirit/Ghost...Trained to have the ability to do it,and succeeded! The Voice is his Force-Assisted Spirit and Conciousness talking to Luke,and Luke used The Force to guide him,to get the target....He did. If you heard Kanobi talking to Luke,After the Station blew up,It`s his Force Spirit Talking to him.

    4:30 The actor in the C-3PO suit is also the voice, Anthony Daniels. George Lucas originally wanted to do what he did with Darth Vader (dubbing over with another actor), and his original idea for 3PO's voice was described as a gruff used-car salesman. He ended up loving Daniels' "prissy butler voice" so much more so he stuck with that. Also, bonus C-3PO fact: He was originally supposed to walk normally, but Anthony Daniels didn't even try on the costume until a day or two before filming started, and one of the leg pieces broke; there was no way to walk around in it without getting stabbed in the leg, which is why he walks how he does in the final film.

There wasn't any company capable of doing the kind of visuals George Lucas had in mind, so he formed Industrial Light & Magic for that task.

    The shrieking sound of the TIE fighters were actually inspired by the sirens on WWII Stuka dive bombers. The actual sounds from Stuka sirens have been used over and over again in movies and TV shows, mostly in scenes that didn't even have a Stuka in it. George Lucas merely took the idea of the sound, and cranked it up several notches to create the incredible tension during the Death Star trench battle.

      Those bombers are notoriously deadly, sweeping through Norway, Sweden, Norway, Poland, France and the low countries, and even North Africa and the Soviet front.
      On 4 July 1940 alone, StG 2 made a successful attack on a convoy in the English Channel, sinking four freighters: Britsum, Dallas City, Deucalion and Kolga. Six more were damaged. That afternoon, 33 Ju 87s delivered the single most deadly air assault on British territory in history, when 33 Ju 87s of III./StG 51, avoiding Royal Air Force (RAF) interception, sank the 5,500 ton anti-aircraft ship HMS Foylebank in Portland Harbour, killing 176 of its 298 crew. One of Foylebank's gunners, Leading Seaman John F. Mantle continued to fire on the Stukas as the ship sank.

    My favorite part of this movie by far is the Death Star rescue sequence, and it’s because Leia is a high ranking member of the Rebellion, which is currently in open civil war with the Empire, so she was likely expecting an actual military force of trained soldiers to come to break her out, and instead she got a farm boy, the old war vet her dad had told her about, and a pair of smugglers in a tricked out space Winnebago;
    Also as for their ages, they are as follows:
    Luke and Leia are both 19 at the time of this movie
    Han is 32
    Obi Wan is 57
    Chewbacca is 200
    Both C-3P0 and R2-D2 are older than 32 in the movie, though we’re not sure by how much
    Darth Vader is 41

      Those ages are not accurate for Han and Obi Wan if you go by what was originally canon. Han's exact age is unknown and Obi Wan was in his 60s because the Clone Wars were 40 years before A New Hope, not the 20 that Lucas changed it to with the Prequels. I have a CD Rom called Star Wars: Behind the Magic from LucasArts that I got back in 1997 and it has the original timeline.

"REAL Star Wars fans hate the Sequel Trilogy", or "REAL fans think the Disney buyout was the worst thing to happen since Hitler" or some such nonsense. To me, "True Star Wars fans" will give the movies, shows, books, etc, a viewing/read before deciding if they like that particular piece of content. If you don't like something, that's okay... but don't just jump on the "this is stupid BS" bandwagon just because you think it makes you look cool. It doesn't.
      Myself, I'm an OT kid. Meaning that I saw it in theaters in 1977 at the age of 10. That doesn't make me "better" than those just discovering this franchise. If anything, I feel obligated to help them along, as they won't be exposed to the same things we were "back in the day". I love Star Wars. I enjoyed the Prequels when they were released, and I wasn't afraid to say so. I see the flaws in all of the movies, but I don't allow them to prevent me from enjoying them. My personal opinion is that the Sequel Trilogy suffered from the lack of coherent story, but I would never tell someone not to watch them. I would caution about going into them with a high standard but do watch them and determine for yourself if you like them or not. It's not up to me to tell someone they WON'T enjoy something.
      If I'm being completely honest, Rogue One (a Disney made SW movie) is one of my absolute favorites of the franchise. I literally can't watch it, without watching A New Hope directly afterward. They fit THAT well together.

    The version you’re watching is a rerelease with new effects and controversial editing by its creator, George Lucas. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, he created a company to do cutting edge effects. It went on to keep pushing boundaries when it comes to effects. However, Lucas released a new edit in 1997. For example, he altered the Han Solo versus Greedo shoot out . Originally, it was only Han shooting Greedo. Also, the moment when Han tells that slug, Jabba, “you’re a wonderful human being,” was a deleted scene with a human actor. This is why Han awkwardly looks like he’s walking over Jabba’s tail. There are comparison videos on RUclips of altered shots in these movies and their rereleases.

    40:28 The scene with Jaba and Solo. That was actually a deleted scene from the original movie, that scene was later edited back in, in the 2000's. Now, Jaba was actually to be human, Jaba was the guy standing next to the Falcon as Solo walks towards the ship (heavy guy with the beard, kinda looks like a pirate captain). If you pause it just right, you can see Solo is looking at him, because that's who he originally had that conversation with.

    I had just turned 11 years old when I saw this film in the theater for the first time, in August 1977 (it had come out in May but had been gaining some serious word of mouth over the summer, as well as an increase of theaters showing it, and I didn't get a chance until August to see it). Your reaction was very much like that of a lot of people who saw it back then. I loved it, and it became a major part of the public zeitgeist from that time forward. I ended up seeing it one more time in 1977, with my mom and sister (in September or October), and then twice again one day in May 1978, at a theater that was still showing it after almost a year straight. In the meantime I'd read the novelization and the Marvel comic adaptation, and the Star Wars Storybook, and had started collecting the earliest action figures, as well as the Escape the Death Star boardgame by Parker Brothers, and I had also gotten a few posters around this time too, and maybe a t-shirt or two, so I was pretty much a fan. But I didn't REALLY become a fan until THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK came out in May 1980. That really sent me over the edge, and I became a much more serious fan of the entire saga, and it literally became a major part of my life, especially over the next few years. Today some of my personal friends include people who actually worked on Star Wars at the original Industrial Light & Magic or at Lucasfilm, as well as other fans of the saga who became involved in the film industry in various ways. This movie literally changed or was a major point of so many lives. It's hard to believe this film is 45 years old now. We're coming up on this film's 50th Anniverary in just another five years.

They added the footage back in for the extended edition, and retroactively added the slug-like Jabba from the third film over the actor who was originally playing the part. So yea, "you're a wonderful human being" is a weird statement in this digital replacement, but made sense in the original footage they shot.

    TO be perfectly clear, the original shot actually had Jabba cast as a human, but it was cut from the initial release, and the revised version years later showed Jabba as the slug-like Hutt we see today, so basically they managed to reflavor the "wonderful human being" bit as banter/sarcasm on Han's part. The Hutts are immensely influential and wealthy crime lords too, so for Han to pull off such bravado in Jabba's face and somehow get away alive, it speaks to how bat shit crazy he really is.

    For the record; Jabba was originally human, and was played by a actor. However; Lucas didn't like the scene, and cut it from the film. When he made Return of the Jedi; he turned Jabba into the giant slug creature you see now. Years later; Lucas wanted redo the trilogy, he decided to add this scene back in. This would mean making a CGI Jabba to place over the human actor. This also meant Han; who would have normally clipped through Jabba, now had to be CGI moved to look like he walked on Jabba. This also is the reason why Han said "Jabba; you're a wonderful human being" because he was human once.

    17:05 Slug is actually a pretty on point description of Jabba. His species are descended from slug-like organisms, that's literally what he is.
    27:35 Fun fact: That dianoga is Force sensitive, that's why it went after Luke specifically.
    36:00 Another fun fact: Darth Vader had more confirmed kills than any other pilot at this point in time. He was literally the galaxy's top ace.
    38:50 Search "Chewbacca MTV movie awards". He got his medal there.

    All of the original trilogy was shot on film. I suggest a reaction to “The making” of these movies. It’s crazy what they had to do with what they had.

    "For something made in the 70's this looks pretty fire!" I often say the same about myself. This movie came out a few months after I was born

    fun reaction cant wait to see you do the rest of the series. your comment about being in the robot except for darth vader where dave prowse was in the suit and james earl jones did the voice pretty much all the other droids had the actual actor in the 3p0 was a british actor anthony daniels was in the suit and voiced and anytime you see ar2 if it isnt rolling there is an actor kenny baker inside.
