“I wanna know more about their relationship” me: laughes in prequels
You ARE the Leonardo DiCaprio meme
Why would we attack you for not seeing the OT? If anything this is a rare treat being able to see someone’s reaction to Star Wars. :D
fr it's like watching these film together with them(the reactors) for the first time
I'm an old guy, and I saw it in the theater when it came out. It blew everyone away, it was just amazing, especially for a kid of 7 years. I also saw the sequels in the theater, and in fact my friend Stacey and I cut school to see Return Of The Jedi on the first day. :) Glad you enjoyed it, but the fun has just begun. ;) Take care, be safe!
@Gerald H *L* I'll go you one better: The night before ROTJ came out, Stacey found a local comic shop called Monkey's Retreat had just put the Marvel Comics adaptation on the shelf for sale (a big no-no, especially these days), and we talked his dad into driving us to buy copies. So, by the time we'd seen the movie, we knew what was going to happen. *LMAO* Good times, good times. :)
I was 9 when it came out. It was a great time to grow up and see these movies in the theater!
My dad saw this movie when he was 13, and he liked it enough to watch it twice over with my grandfather. He watched it again with me when I turned 6, and I can see why he liked it.
I'm an older guy and I saw it in the theater when it came out - I was in third year university. I think I probably went back to see it another 6 or so times because I was so stunned by the storytelling, the visual effects and the music. With the single exception of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, this was the first sci-fi film that actually looked good and it blew a whole generation away.
Why didn’t you see the prequels in theaters?
Yes! Very happy about this!
I just love Vader’s entrance. Him walking through the smoke and just standing there. Instant icon!
Pssst.... try to get him to react to Dr Who with his Whovian best friend! ;)
This movie changed the very definition of cinematography. Glad to see you reacting to the franchise! :D
I was eleven years old when I saw this film for the first time in theaters. We were Blown Away. Never before had we seen ANYTHING like this. This movie set the gold standard for all other movies that came ever after. To this day, when I go to a theater, I always secretly hope I will see another film that hits with the same magical impact. But sadly, I don't think I ever will.
Avengers infinity war and endgame also hit different
I wasn't too much older than that when The Matrix dropped, and I saw it on the big screen before the hype train really got going without knowing what to expect. I have to suspect it was a similar experience.
Jurassic park was another significant movie in my opinion.
Yes-I was prepared to see it-I'm glad they released the comic books before each episode of the OT and the soundtrack
The 1977 effects were amazing, but what you're seeing in this version has had a lot of the original model and practical effects replaced with cgi.
(And Geedo never shot.)
Not a Lot. There isnt actually anything replaced at all. There's just some things added.
The only noticeable changes in this one is Jabba and the added "population" to the town and death star. Greedo's shot will never be the same.
@@chain_of_nothing ALL space shots were redone to remove the lines around them, etc. Some were in fact fixed with CGI replacements.
@@chain_of_nothing There is indeed replaced effects. The Sandcrawler climbing the dune, some cantina aliens, X-wing shots, the Death star explosion, the landspeeder flying into Mos Eisley etc.
@@chain_of_nothing There are a whole a lot of shots replaced or effects tweaked or added to existing scenes. Some major, some minor, several not listed. The extended scene of the Dewbacks and stormtroopers at the escape pod site, the Dewback outside the cantina, the exterior of Obi Wan’s hut, the matte painting of MOs Eisley seen from above, the alien with a beret in the cantina replaces what was essentially a werewolf, Greedo shoots, flying droids accompanying stormtroopers door to door, terrible CGI Jabba, the Millennium falcon escaping Mos Eisley. Praxis effects added to the explosions of Alderaan and the Death Star, the Rebel fleet rising from Yavin, the wide panning shot of the fleet approaching the Death Star, several battle scenes over the Death Star, even the Yavin temple exterior itself.
Non-effects related but the brief reunion of Luke and Biggs was not in the original version either.
The “Cantina Song” is actually one of my all time fav songs!
In the SW universe, it’s by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes, and called Crazy About Me.
John Williams said his inspiration was imagining futuristic alien musicians running across an old jazz song and adapting it to their instruments.
The genre is jizz in universe
Looking forward to this.. you're off on a great adventure buddy!
Also, literally any questions you have I'm sure any of us can answer. The Star Wars lore is so deep it's not even funny so there will definitely be some things that are a bit ambiguous. I'm really excited to see you react to these films that so many of us hold so close.
Awesome thank you!
Saw this aged 11 in 1978 in England.
A defining moment which has stayed with me all my life.
About the best film ever made.
A great time to be alive.
Jaws 2 years before, and Empire 2 years in the future followed by Raiders of the Lost Ark a year later in 81. Wow....
What a time to be alive.
So much better than the crap made now.
We were so lucky to grow up with so many great movies.
Got that reminder set. This is where the fun begins.
Hahahahaha!
Just realized it while watching, but Luke claims that they're transferring Chewie from Cell Block 1138 - that's 100% a reference to George Lucas's earlier film THX-1138. Never caught that before!
There are 1138 Easter Eggs in all the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy. I haven't seen if any are in the Disney movies.
@@technomikelyons Finn's 2187 number is a reference to Leia's cell number
In American Graffiti, the license plate number is THX138. At that time, California license plate only had 6 digits. But Since the 80’s , California license plate have 7 digits. I wonder if George Lucas secured 7 digit THX1138 license plate or not.
I was sixteen when this came out and seeing it in the theater all five times was amazing.
Me too! Except I was 17. :)
I Was about 12 and saw it in Theaters more than 22 Times!
Star Wars was the second “blockbuster” (Jaws was the first I think). Lines wrapped multiple times around the theaters. I saw it 6 or 7 times in the first few days (sneaking in to multiple showings at the mall). It was truly a phenomenon.
There were a few prior to Star Wars. the original Planet of the Apes, 2001: A Space Odyssey... maybe a few others(depending on how you define it). However, Star Wars DID completely change how movies were made/marketed. Aside from wanting movie related products(which weren't really a "hot" thing at the time) like toys, posters, t-shirts, etc.... he really wanted control of the sequels(assuming there would be any). Planet of the Apes shared a toy company producer with Star Trek, and the Super Hero comic book characters(both Marvel and DC). Mego, in case you didn't know... that made 8" fully posable "dolls/action figures" and playsets. Anyway, Lucas redefined HOW movies were made, by creating his own FX company(Industrial Light and Magic), Sound Studio(The THX process via Skywalker Sound), etc. And yes, I'm sure you're aware of these facts... just putting it out there for anyone who doesn't know.
I was ten years old and had no idea about this movie at all. My Dad took my older brother and I into the city to see it and although we’d done that many times it was the first time we’d ever queued to get into a cinema. There were lines down the street to get in. I couldn’t comprehend why.
As soon as that first space battle started and the Star Destroyer rumbled over our heads in a seemingly endless mass of metal with laser blasts flashing back and forth I was completely and utterly hooked.
No space battles or laser fights from any movie or tv show had ever been as action packed. It was a complete revolution and audiences just lapped it up.
But none kept going in the theaters for 1 year. So this was truly monumental in it's affect on the populace. Movies nowadays don't even last 1 month in a theater.
Wait, non of the ushers would ask where are your parents?
Planet of the Apes ( first film to spawn a franchise of sequels and tv series) and the Exorcist were also blockbusters.
The thing I love about watching first-time reactions to the original trilogy is the way y'all come up with questions that never occurred to me in 30 years of fandom. "Can R2-D2 fight?" Love it.
Yes I saw it when it came out. I was a young kid, but I knew it was introducing a whole new level of sci-fi films.
R2 is a maintenance droid. His has abilities to analysis and repair various mechanical and electronic devices. So when they load him onto a fighter, it is to keep it from breaking down.
can’t wait for empire strikes back yuppp
same
Ahhh I'm so happy you're reacting to the star wars movies! It's impossible not to just love R2-D2 immediately. As you said, the way they get R2's emotions across without a face or speech is great! Can't wait for the rest of this series ☺️
Yes, I saw it in the cinema in 1977. They did a refresh adding some unneeded CGI in the 1990s (the “Special Edition”, which is the only way it’s available now, except for bootleg reconstructions like the “Despecialized Edition”, which is well worth watching if you can find it), but honestly almost none of the CGI is a noticeable improvement over the original effects.
The rotoscoping on the lightsabers looks markedly better in my opinion, but basically every other addition just cheapens the movies…and stuff like that “Han shot first” debate bug me. I grew up with the very last VHS version that wasn’t updated, and lemme tell you, there weren’t even two shots. Han blasted Greedo away before he could even react. Or the “no, I am your father” scene. In the original version he says “no Luke, I am your father.” The discrepancies come from the edited versions later on.
Yes, I saw it in the theatre when it came out. Everyone then was completely blown away. That's why it became and is still a phenomenon. I believe the effects are unbelievable. Extremely outstanding for this time. Star Wars mania!!!!
I was 9, I stood in line with my “Darth Vader lives” T-shirt for about an hour. The one thing that stands out to this day was the ship going over head. It just kept going….. SO COOL
Honestly its so cool finding people who haven't seen star wars yet because then i get to live vicariously through you😂 If i could erase my memory to experience star wars for the first time again i would. I guess I'll just have to watch these reactions 😂 Im sure most die hard star wars fans can agree
"Obi Wan Kenobi.."
"LOL that face~"
*for those playing at home, that's what a Vietnam flashback looks like!
Obi Wan has PTSD is a great little video
@@Fez8745
Kenobi is a better one.
If you liked this I suggest you watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind by Steven Spielberg from 1977, the same year as Star Wars. The effects for the time are awesome. Check it out
Fun fact, Spielberg gets royalties from the profits of Star Wars to this day because he made a bet with Lucas for a portion of the royalties that Star Wars would do better than Close Encounters. Lucas thought it would bomb and be the end of his career.
@@calvinmusquez9162 Yeah I've read that before.
Personally I prefer CEOTTK more than Star Wars tbh
Obi-Wan knew he had no hope of getting past Vader and the troopers, so he gave in let his death inspire Luke. Plus, he merged with the Force, and can guide him. In life, he was over-powered and out-gunned, there was no way for him to escape
Star wars is gold. You will love it
I was 8 and with my family. After my dad said we were going to a movie about cowboys and Indians in outerspace (that was his only reference point) my brother and I wanted to see Empire of the Ants. Then we saw SW and my parents cheated and let us stay for the next show. It was a big theater and all the big sound and picture blew us away.
I love Star Wars!!! Genuine and fun reaction. Greetings from Lima, Perú. I cannot wait for your reaction to ESB and TRJ.
When Luke said "I can't see a thing in this helmet" he literately couldn't see very well in the helmet while doing that scene but instead of redoing the scene they left it in
Not surprised - the visor was completely opaque, @Codie Turner .
I'm a really old guy, and saw it in the theater in 1977 when I was a freshman in college. Having been an admirer or the television series Star Trek of the 1960's, there wasn't much else in the way of believable space fantasy for those of us growing up during the Gemini and Apollo programs unfolding before us on television. I must admit 2001, A Space Odyssey (released in 1968) was an exception.
So, you should put yourself in my shoes in 1977 when I had my shoes blown off my feet watching Star Wars in the theater. I was fortunate enough to have viewed it in a theater that had been recently upgraded with the "then" state of the art sound system, for the 1974 release of Earthquake. So, the sound system rocked and rolled throughout the John Williams score with lightsabers and TIE fighters screaming from one side of the screen to the other. I think the word is adrenaline.
My favorite scene from _A New Hope_ was when I first saw the Millennium Falcon. It told me everything I needed to know about the movie and that I wanted that spaceship.
I was 10 when I first watched this in the cinema when it came out, and what really hooked us was that first shot of the capital ship passing overhead. I seemed to go on forever and we had never seen anything like it before, not to mention that unforgettable John Williams score that really sets it all off. I saw it in at the Leicester Square Theatre in London (an enormous screen), and that initial sout when you can hear Darth Vader's breathing gives you such chills.
In the UK it came out 4 months before Close Encounters of the Third Kind (another iconic film, this one by Stephen Spielberg) and the two set the direction of film effects from then on.
This is one of the two franchises I wish I could rewatch for the first time. Mind blowing, practical effects will always win over CGI for me (blessed to be a child of the 80s)
This version you are watching is the enhanced version, it has been cleaned up and a lot of the effects re-done, thats why it looks so good.
Ah makes sense
I'm a 53 year old female who saw this in the theatres as I was just turning eight, so I love seeing so many generations after me appreciating it like you did. This movie is still a part of my daily life in some way or another. I look forward to watching the rest with you
This movie absolutely blew out little minds back then, the night I saw SW I didn't sleep at all.
1977 - I was 14, and at the time not a big sci-fi fan. My younger brother carried on and on, and insisted our family go see this movie, I was dreading it. Within the first few minutes I was blown away. SW consumed me. And Seb, like you and Chris Evans, Mark Hamill became my crush. They say you never forget what you were doing when a life event happens, and after all these years I clearly remember the inside of the theater and where I was sitting. May the force be with you!
Wow, I love that you are watching this for the first time! A rare opportunity to watch a reaction for sure!
You’re reaction was magic 👌🏻😉 brings back all the same feelings for all Star Wars fans!!!!
Glad to bring it all back :)
There were two pivotal moments for me as a kid that changed the way I looked at movies forever. The first was watching Once Upon A Time in The West when I was twelve. On a dreary and rainy day during a holiday they took me to that movie. In hindsight (I've seen it over 15 times since then) I did not understand most of what happened, but I was blown away by the way the story was shown and how the music really was an integral part of telling the story.
The second time was only two years later when Star Wars came out. Especially the opening scene with the Star Cruiser gliding over the big screen, revealing its enormous size was something that I'd never seen before. And - to be honest - set a standard for me that has seldom been matched since.
I saw this back in 1978 and it instantly made me want to make my own films. Still working on that, but it's happening.
I always wince a little when I hear people refer to a film being impressive "for way back then" or something similar, as if great-looking films were a new phenomenon. I watched an old Hitchcock thriller the other night which featured a shot of a passenger plane in flight...the camera moved in closer and closer until it went right up to and through a window, where the characters were sitting inside. This film was made in 1940, and the shot looked flawless. Great films have existed for a long time.
G'day it's Steven from Down Under again
I was eight years old when I first watched the movie here in Sydney and it's been a spectacular and emotional experience for me up until today.
Love your genuine and articulate comments
It's always exciting to me when younger generations watch Star Wars
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
I’m so excited to see you’re reacting to Star Wars! Yay! I really enjoy your reactions and loved watching your reaction to A New Hope!
It was 1984, I was 6 years old, and my parents and family were having movie night. The adults had picked the Star Wars trilogy to watch, despite my cousins and I wanting to watch some cartoon movie (I don’t even remember now what one). One of my aunts had made popcorn, another had purchased soda and candy, my uncles had barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs. So we sat down with the drinks, snacks, and food. I remember my sister, cousins, and I were sitting on the floor in front of my uncle’s big screen tv when the opening music blasted on and caught our attention. And from that opening scene onward we didn’t say a word and we watched all three films that night! That was how I was introduced to Star Wars and it’s been a big part of my life and my family’s since then. (Including watching the Ewok and Droids cartoons on Saturday mornings and the made-for-tv Ewok films). While I didn’t get to see it in cinemas when it was first released, in the late 1990s the films we re-released to cinemas and that’s when I saw them. They’re awesome on the big cinema screens and sound system!! Then I went and saw the prequels when they came out. Even dragged my boyfriend at the time to see Episode 3 (I say dragged because he hadn’t seen Star Wars and considered it cliché to be a fan....although he left that film a fan and we spent the next several days watching the other films). When my niece turned 6, I introduced her to Star Wars just like many of my older cousins had done with their nephews, nieces, or kids. And I’ve taken her to the cinema to see all of the sequel films and anthology films. I even gave her my Star Wars toys from when I was a kid and my dad found a bunch that he bought from an estate sale. So she’s got lots of Star Wars stuff! And of course we watched the tv shows: Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, Mandalorian, Bad Batch, LEGO Star Wars films and series, and are looking forward to the upcoming films and shows! The only thing we haven’t done yet is go to Star Wars Celebration or to the Star Wars park in Disneyland/Disney World. Though that’s generally due to costs, not because we couldn’t make the time. But maybe some day. I mean, we still watch the live streams from Celebration!
I’m looking forward to seeing your reaction to the next film! So glad you enjoyed this film! Thanks for sharing your reaction!
So wonderful to see how SW of old STILL captures the attention of the young! Just shows how timeless its story really is.
I was really impressed how much you noticed the score & the sound effects & how important it is for the story itself. Lucas has said himself that sound is 50% of the experience of any movie & he for sure pushed that fact hard with SW & all it's installments. The music & the sound effects will only get more & even better from here, trust me! There is a chance you might even recognize at least one special piece of music from the next one, a certain Imperial March always attached to Vader. But even if you don't know it yet, once you hear it it stays for life! That's what SW does to you, in general... It stays for life!
I remember going to the local drive in with my mother and grandmother. The drive in is long gone but my love for Star Wars is still strong.
Best innuendo line is “You came in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.”
Amazing because half the effects are drawn And spaceships in small plastic models 🤩 Old but Gold.
I saw this film when first released. People were stunned by everything -- including something things that might surprise you. For example, the music (a full symphony orchestra) was stunning. A golden robot that speaks with a British accent stunned everyone. Darth Vader's breathing stunned everyone. And that was just the first five minutes of the film!
The thing with Star Wars is that there’s so much expanded media and lore heavy essential animated shows and side shows that Star Wars soon bulks up as a Franchise. Everything very much supports and references everything else. So the films are good in isolation. But then the expanded stuff really make you rewatch the films and tie the whole world together. References, call backs, characters expanded on, tie ins, there’s just so much packed into this universe that it’s impossible to really put an order on how you experience it. You just basically have to watch the films, watch the animations, rewatch the films, read the comics, rewatch the films, cram the spin off films in there, read some books. 😂 once you’re in you can’t get out
It's even more epic to watch Rogue One and then Episode IV, back to back.
"Utini" is the Jawa word for victory/success/i did it/YeS
This made me love them so much more
Actually, it's more like "get over here!"
I guess I am of that blessed generation. I was 8 years old when this movie came out and I got to see it at the drive-in theater. I have seen every Star wars, all nine in the theater. Great reaction. New subscriber
I saw this when I was 6 years old when it first came out. Waited in a very very long line at the Chinese Theater. It blew everyone away. No one had seen anything like this before, or heard anything like this before: the special effects, the sound effects and the music were off the charts!!! The entire world changed and we went from the drab 70s and this movie ushered in the 80s.
Really enjoy the way you let us see AND hear the movie. Very enjoyable.
I saw it as a young kid in the 90s, before the prequels came out. And fell in love for a lifetime
When you realise that George Lucas and his team formed a new company to create the effects he wanted as he wasn't happy with what was around. That company was Industrial Light and Magic, later just ILM.
I was old enough to go and see the film when it was released. Watching in the cinema was quite an experience, and yes, R2 was my favourite character. Really liked the design of the TIE fighters too.
I was there at the cinema in 77 (well 78 in the UK) - totally blew me away as an 8 year old - made me a film buff for life!
The actor who played obi-wan kenobi was Alec Guinness who was quite a major film star doing the 40s and 50s particularly in the UK. Some of his major movies include the Bridge on the River Kwai, The Ladykillers, The man in the white suit and Kind Hearts and coronets.
I was only a toddler when it came out in the 70s and only remember bits and pieces. But when it came out on video tape, I watched it well over 50 times.
I'm an OG Star Wars fan, saw this in the theater at 10 years old.
What you're seeing is the Special Edition version, but yes the effects at the time were groundbreaking.
I also love how you appreciate the sound design. And John Williams brilliant score.
Looking forward to your Empire reaction!
Yup 10:13 is the jammiest of jams. Its called Cantina and its on the soundtrack for this movie
You're watching the Special Edition, which includes some tweaks in special effects (e.g., like the rings around the explosions of Alderaan and the Death Star, and the CGI scene as they drive into Mos Eisley), but most of the original special effects are intact. As one who saw this movie in the cinema in 1977, I can attest that this movie blew people's minds and seriously raised the bar on special effects and in-universe realism in sci-fi and fantasy movies. Everything, from no opening credits, to throwing you right into the action from the start, to the great leaps in special effects, changed the way movies were made. Even showing space settings as dirty and disorderly was a new idea, as was the idea that a space story could be set in the distant past. It was a game changer.
My Mum and Dad were lucky enough to see this in the cinema 4 years before I was born. My mum still says its the best cinema experiernce she's every had.
First time I seen a standing ovation at the end of a movie 🎥💕💯💕
Fantastic reaction when we saw her in the cinema for the first time we all freak out, keep in mind that this is only going to get better so enjoy it a greeting ...
I loved your reaction it was the best I’ve seen yet 😂
i am watching you enjoy Star Wars for the 4th time today. To answer one of your question, the blaster fire sound was done by hitting a steel support cable with a hammer.
OMG! I have literally watched this movie over 2000 times since I first saw it in 1977. When I was ten.
My dad took me and my sister to this movie in 1977. We waited two hours in line. I was 7 years old and fell asleep during the movie. I was crushed. My dad took me to the Saturday matinee that week.
I miss my dad every day.
Also we love to go to comic con in Liverpool and one year chewy was there and this guy had R2D2 with a remote control and it did the exact same noises it was awesome
I'm soooo hypedd to see your other reactions!! 🥰🥰
😜
Saw it in the theater….the hysteria surrounding these films and their sequels was incredibly epic! Star Wars was everywhere …and dude the toys from these films they couldn’t make fast enough . If you were lucky enough to find and own a millennium falcon then you were the coolest kid on the block!
I'm just glad you enjoyed it lad. I was 3 when this came out and did see it in the cinema. Its been a buzz seeing some one so young enjoy this as much as I do. Good on ya matey. 👌 Enjoy the rest.
My brother's name is Luke.
It was a running joke in my family for my dad (at completely random times) to say, "Luke . . . I am your father."
i always get the chills when the squadron closes in on the death star.
I was 9 years old when I watch this in the theater in 1977. This movie changed the entire film industry. It changed me as well.
I was born the day it came out. May 25th 1977. I’ve always thought that was cool. 😁
I did see all movies in theater stood in line hours for this one was wow worth it
Seeing the opening scene on an actual *BIG* screen when the movie first came out is still the most awe inspiring thing I have ever seen in a movie, and Darth Vader is still one of the best villains in film history.
They actually filmed the ending when Luke and Han got their medals first while R2-D2 and C-3PO were still new and shiny, and much of the music evokes such an emotional response in me that none of the later music (which I don't even remember or recognize) does.
I was six years old when this movie first came out. My father took me to see it and it instantly became my all time favorite movie, even to this day. My favorite scene is when Luke is at Obi-Wan's home and Obi-Wan is telling him about Luke's father, and the history of the Jedi, etc. Then of course there's the attack on the Death Star. There are so many quotable lines in this movie even if only because they're kinda cheesy. But it's surprising how many lines from just the attack on the Death Star you can fit into every day life.
You should see Rogue One, which is also excellent and leads immediately into this movie.
I was eight years old when STAR WARS was released. It was my first real and memorable cinema experience. Truly, life-changing. There were lines around city blocks to see this film. It was unprecedented. No one had seen anything like it, and it was a paradigm shift in filmmaking.
I was only 5 when this movie came out so I never got to see the original release in the theater, but I did see the 1981 re-release which was the first time "A New Hope" was added to the title. My dad took me to see The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi when they first came out. I saw all three films again in 1997 when they were re-released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original film.
"Look I hit something" said no stormtrooper ever haha whenever I watch these with my partner we always say this to each other lol and I just love what C-3P0 and R2D2 say to each other I laugh at it every time 🤣🤣🤣
I was born the week that Empire Strikes back came out and I have older brothers so my mother took newborn me to the theater to watch a double feature of New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. I’m so proud that this is the first movie I ever saw even though I slept through the whole thing.
Like many have said here, watching this movie in the cinema when it was first released was mind-blowing. I was 12 years old and was in awe for the whole movie. Went back to see it again at the movies every chance I got that summer.
Can’t wait for the next one it’s considered the best among most hardcore fans
Cant wait
18:56 that’s funny you caught the "Wilhelm Scream" Good ear! You can catch it in episodes I-VI.
I'm already looking forward to his clone wars and rebels reactions based on this one.
this is the special edition, was "enhanced" with more modern effects which came out in 1997. Lucas stopped selling the original theatrical releases.
Goosebumps are the right reaction to this movie's music.
When Ben startled the sand people he made the sound of a Crate Dragon, a giant predator that the sand people fear.
I've seen the OT probably near 100 times. Seeing this show up in my recommendations just now and seeing someone watching it for the first time I felt like I was also.
Yes! What spectacular and amazing about it was the bigger screen and improved surround sound. Ok, technically there is no sound in space. I say don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. I can't express the awwww factor.
This is my favorite Star Wars movie. Gov Tarkin is so ruthless. I wish they hadn't killed him off. He and Vader made a great team. I guess they needed to move the story forward by having Vader assume full control of the troops. RIP Peter Cushing and David Prowse.
George Lucas had already set the tone for some of the interior visuals with his movie THX-1138. The death star control room and consoles etc. you can see the design elements in THX-1138.
The man in the Vader costume was David Prowse an English body builder and bit part actor he was 6'6" tall and also trained Christopher Reeve when he was bulking up to play Superman
I got a real thrill watching you enjoy this so much. Subscribed
I saw it in a cinema when it was released. From the sounds of it, the Star Destroyer in the opening blew the minds of everyone in the audience. And nobody had expected Han to come back.
