All of a sudden he is there and I am like whoa, Peter Mayhew!!! My son was like 12 at the time and Peter talked with him for like 10 minutes, explaining how Chewie got his roar and sounds for speech.

    As someone who remembers seeing Star Wars (several times) in 1977, I can say it was a magical era. The closest thing to a big summer movie event before it was Jaws, but Star Wars really changed movie history and paved the way for hundreds of sci-fi and superhero movies to follow. I don’t think the cultural impact of Star Wars can really be appreciated unless you were there. Radio stations used to play the theme music like it was any other hit song!

    Crazy fact: The Empire Strikes Back novel was released on April 12, 1980 and it had the twist about Vader being Luke’s father. The movie was released on May 21, so that’s almost 6 weeks the novel was out that anyone could have blabbed the twist. Yet when we all saw Empire in 1980, nobody knew of the twist. It was a different world before the internet and social media.

      @TTM9691 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I saw Star Wars the day it came out. I liked it, saw it three times, went as Darth Vader as Halloween, but I wasn't nearly as blown away as all that. "Close Encounters", which came out six months later, blew my mind ten thousand times more than "Star Wars" ever did. And the vibe of the audience after "Close Encounters" was as if we had just stepped off the mothership ourselves, totally stoned on the experience. "Star Wars" was just a bunch of kids and their parents watching a good guy/bad guy adventure story. It was cool looking and fun but it was hardly a new teaching. I mean, I watched Star Trek every night, it's not like Lucas invented the idea of space adventure in the 70s. It's a good movie, but the over-hyperbolic b.s. is embarrassing. If I made a list of my favorite movies from 1977, Star Wars wouldn't be on it, and it wouldn't have even been on it if you had asked me in 1979! The marketing of it made me want to puke, and that theme. Bill Murray singing lyrics to the theme says it best: "Star Waaaaars.....nothing but Staaaar Wars!" lol. If you had told me back in 1978 or 1979 that people would still be going crazy over this movie, I would have laughed. It's too bad, I feel robbed because I love "American Graffiti" so much, and like "Star Wars", I would have been interested to see what Lucas would have done if he had to actually work for a living! 🤣

    I saw "A New Hope" in 1977 at a drive in theater with my Father. I was 6 years old, and I had convinced myself I had the force. I would try and use the force to move things around my bedroom, obviously with poor results. As a 32 year old I took my 5 year old son to see the beginning of the second trilogy. That night when I went in to say his prayers, he was trying to use the force to move things in his bedroom. A fantastical generational connection. Special memories. Thank you, George Lucas.

    Prior to being cast as space-pilot Han Solo in the Star Wars blockbuster, Harrison Ford was a carpenter by trade to support his family. He'd only had a few small, some uncredited roles prior to Star Wars. Self-taught, he learned his craft from books borrowed from the local Encino library. Infact, Harrison Ford was hired for Star Wars early on by George Lucas - as a Stage, Sets Carpenter.., & would "stand in" for reading lines thru with the Cast auditions.., the rest is History !! :) - SO ' an unknown... ?

    A Fun Fact-One of Lucas' influences was Akira Kurosawa's movie Hidden Fortress. There is two characters that act like C3P0 and R2D2 and a Princes like Leia. Lucas is a fan of Kurosawa and he and Spielberg helped finance some of his later movies. Kurosawa is also a fan of John Ford westerns which influenced his Samurai movies. His film Yojimbo influenced Fist Full of Dollars and his film The Seven Samurai influenced The Magnificent Seven. It is interesting how influences bounce around were you least expect.

    In the commentary for The Empire Strikes Back, director Irwin Kershner said that when he and the other actors saw the movie at the premiere, when Darth Vader revealed to Luke that he is his father, David Prowse turned to Kerchner and said to him "Why didn't you tell me? I've could done it better!" refering to his acting. If you ask me, it was perfect as it is, I bet Prowse couldn't have done it better even if he DID knew.

    Coby shrieks in excitement over audition tapes! Simply the most authentic reactor who also happens to be a SAG member that has a film coming out fairly soon! Her reactions therefore come from someone who is in the business and who has a love of film making and the whole process. Somehow that makes her opinion carry more weight for me. She knows things like Modesto, basically a sleepy part of CA mostly consisting of agriculture. George was super smart by taking a cut of toy sales and other merchandising. The fact that they filmed the whole film with a voice over for the final cuts made everything different and better. All the artwork was so important also. We still culturally celebrate this mans singular vision!

    This documentary is amazing!! It makes you appreciate how much hard work went into making this timeless franchise. In the 1970's, special effects were primitive compared to today, but to push the limits of film effects back then was not nearly as common as people see today. I love seeing how things are made and this documentary did not disappoint!! Great reaction and appreciation for this content, Coby! May the 4th be with you. 😊

    So glad you’re enthralled by this, it’s one of my favorite behind the scenes documentaries. If you need more, I’d highly recommend Light and Magic, the series on Disney+ about the history of Industrial Light & Magic, as well as the Making of Jurassic Park and all the special features on the extended cut of Lord of the Rings.

      'Packed to the Rafters' . I reckon Coby should watch Crocodile Dundee, with her Australian accent ( if she's not lost it yet ) that would be so fun !! :-)

    I was 13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars. It was incredible seeing it in the Movie Theatre. I had never seen anything like it before, The Special effects were ahead of its time,
    This has been amazing seeing how Star Wars was made.

  • @terrylandess6072
    @terrylandess6072 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Star Wars allowed a resurgence of Star Trek as the ability to more successfully realize space travel on film grew. Paramount had begun to capitalize on this, so when Lucas needed a new home, it wasn't a surprise as they were already 'in the game'.

    Thank you for reacting to "Empire of Dreams"! Most other channels skip it. I remember when it first came out. It was for the longest and deepest documentary about Star Wars. A few years ago Disney+ debuted a 5-6 episode docu-series about Industrial Light & Magic called "Light & Magic". It talks about Star Wars and many of the other franchises it's produced.

    After each of the original trilogy movies came out, there was a "making of" special on TV, focused on the special effects, stunts, and shooting. That's all we had to hold us over until the next movie came out 3 years later. VCR's and movie rental stores didn't become common until a few years after Return of The Jedi was released. They did the same for Raiders of The Lost Ark, I can't remember if they did the same for the other two Indiana Jones movies.

    I would love to say that I saw Star Wars in the theater when it first came out (I was 32 years old at the time) but my wife was pregnant and was due some time during the summer of 1977 and I felt like I couldn't leave her alone. But my son was born in August and 3 years later I took him to see Empire when it first came out. As we drove by the theater my 3 year old son saw the poster and blurted out "Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Collection from Kenner!" I laughed so hard I almost had a wreck! I always enjoy your videos . Take care!

  • @thoso1973

    I watched it first time in 1980 when I was 7. It was on the annual school cinema listing the following years also. Watched Jedi in 1983 when it opened and only after that, I finally got to watch Empire in 1984 I think, when a theater played the whole finished trilogy.

    This was really a cool idea for a reaction, hopefully there will be more opportunities for things like this. Coby is always so good at being totally invested in the movie, here she gets a chance to nerd out a little bit more about the process of filmmaking, like I nerd out about music. And yes, getting John Williams to score your film was an absolute coup.

    Been a big Star Wars fan since I first saw it when I was 6 years old in the summer of 1977! Darth Vader has always been my favorite character!
    Since you’ve seen the originals now, episodes 4, 5 and 6, you should seriously consider going to the theater this weekend and seeing Episode 1 of it’s in a theater near you. This is a great chance for you to see how Anakin becomes Darth Vader and to watch one of these films on the big screen! I’ve enjoyed watching how excited you’ve gotten over each of these films. They’re the best!!

    I still have the 1977 R2, C3PO, and the Darth Vader Kenner figures. We used to have most if not all of the SW action figures, but we (3 siblings) played with them so much that they got damaged or destroyed. The making of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is fun too. 🖖
