Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
have you checked out star wars pink five? she is very funny and her story takes place during episodes 4 through 6 and she has a pink lightsaber.
At the end of episode 3 I believe Bail Organa said to have 3PO's mind wiped, so R2-D2 recognizes everything but can only speak to 3PO and 3PO is just clueless xD
I thought they wiped both 3po and r2's memory.
...but 3po is still clueless lol
@@kevinmurphy2286 Just 3PO. Bail says “Clean them up, and have the protocol droid’s mind wiped.” And R2 giggles.
@@kevinmurphy2286 Nah, it was just C-3P0. R2 is the only one who remembers and records everything - the idea is that only C-3PO can understand what he says most of the time, and he dismisses most of it as nonsense. Lucas has always seen R2 as the narrator of the saga.
From what I've read, it was going to possibly tie into Lucas's sequel trilogy plans where R2 and C-3P0 would have met a mystical being called the 'Keeper of the Whills' and relayed the events of the saga to it, explaining the opening crawl to each film.
Note how the opening crawl is in the colours blue (R2) and yellow (C-3P0)...
@@kevinmurphy2286 nope just 3PO
Why couldn't the droids recognize anyone?
Lea's foster father, the senator, ordered a soldier in Episode 3 to erase C3PO's memory. It's a very short thing in the movie.
He's just looking at a soldier and says "Have the protocol droid's mind wiped."
It's a thi g of 3 seconds, and you might have forgotten such a minor detail.But it's there.
Oh, and R2D2 knows everything. But he's a real soldier, and knows how tokeepis mouth shut 😉
What's the thing about Obi Wan telling Vader that " if you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."?
At the end of Episode 3,when Luke and Lea are already born, and all the action is over, we can see Yoda telling Obi Wan that he had some training for him.
Obi Wan wonders "Training?", because he is already a very powerful master.
It's at this moment that Yoda reveals to Kenobi that his old master Qui Gon had found a way to back from the after life. And that Yoda would train Obi Wan how to talk to his long dead master.
This is the reason why Obi Wan could talk to Luke in is mind, after Vader killed him.
Remember? "If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
I would like to add that R2 didn't know anything about Anakin's family. In the episode 2 there was only C3PO who talked to his family members. R2 stayed in the ship and came only to say about the message, that Obi-Wan sent to Anakin.
It's like she doesn't even remember anything from ROTS despite just recently watching it..
The answers to all her questions including your one is that this movie was written as a one off, the subsequent movies in this trilogy weren't even written, which is why Obi-wan doesn't recognise the droids or vice versa, or even why the dynamic between Luke and Leia seems so incestuous. George Lucas didn't even expect the movie to be a hit, going on holiday instead of attending the premiere.
It was only after the success of this film that more were decided to be made and then the inconsistencies added by the prequels were caused by them not this movie. They decided to go down different routes for certain characters which made future movies better I think, but watching the Star Wars movies in chronological order rather than the order in which they are made does give this impression, which is why I'd have started with this one and done the prequels after.
@Matt Potter
You r absolutely right.
But my given answers are correct, as well.
And what do we get, when you are able to give two contradicting answers to one question, about one thing.
And both are right?
Quite simple: Then, u got art.
@@chriswerth918 I disagree with you, the only difference is that my answers are correct immediately after the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, was released whereas those from newer movies made over 20 years later are merely reconning to try and make things fit. It more attention had been paid to the story for the prequels rather than the CGI (and making them kid friendly was well) then it wouldn't have been necessary to try and explain the inconsistencies away.
I love how after wiping C3PO's mind he still hates flying.
"I had forgotton..."
he never said he didn't recognize R2, he said he never owned a droid. he didn't he just hung out with it
Yes, indeed, there WAS an actor in the R2-D2 Droid casing. His name was Kenny Baker! We was a delightful man who also starred in "Time Bandits" and "Willow". Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago, but, he was truly beloved!
A few more notes on things that are confusing because you're watching this having seen later movies already:
When this movie was released, the only people in it that Luke was related to were Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen. He wasn't related to Leia or Darth Vader. Lucas did play around with the idea that Leia was Luke's cousin (and Beru/Owen's daughter), but scrapped that prior to release.
Leia also wasn't related to Vader: Princess Leia Organa was her birth name, Bail Organa was her birth father and his unnamed wife was her birth mother (the name Breha hadn't been created yet). Biggs was possibly going to be her brother during some of the earlier drafts, but that got nixed before the final release. Lucas went back and forth between Organa and Antilles for Leia's family name, but eventually settled on Organa and used Antilles for Wedge's surname.
Obi-Wan's description of what happened to Luke's father was meant to be literal: Luke's father was a Jedi who was killed by Darth Vader, a totally different person. The major changes to that were made for the next couple of movies, with further changes in the prequels.
And C3PO and R2D2 had never been to Tattooine before, so they had no reason to remember it. The idea that Anakin built C3PO (or that Anakin was from Tattoine) didn't exist at all.
@Antonio-Gransci This is incorrect. You can google "Darth Vader misconceptions" or look up the Development section of his Wookiepedia page if you want all the citations and background.
Briefly, Lucas has stated many times in interviews that the Darth/Luke familial connection wasn't intended when he wrote Star Wars, it was only added during the writing of Empire Strikes Back-and not even in the first draft. The April 1978 second draft of Empire is when the family connection was conceived and added, in order to punch up Leigh Brackett's original script.
Indeed, in the original 1977 script for Empire, Luke and his father (who is not Darth Vader) talk, and Luke's father reveals to him that he has a sister. Later on in the 1978 second draft, Lucas came up with the idea of having Darth Vader be the father, and the original father went away.
The name thing is even more of a red herring. Originally the name "Darth Vader" was attached to an entirely different character (an Imperial general), and it derived from Lucas liking the sound of "Dark Water" and playing with alternatives to come up with "Darth Vader". It was probably influenced by the fact that Lucas went to high school with a guy named Gary Vader, which sounds silly but is absolutely true (a number of other names in Lucas' work come from real world names, famously Ralph Wookey who was a friend of one of the THX-1138 actors). That "Vader" happens to be similar to the Dutch and German words is entirely coincidental, and when the name was picked it wasn't even meant for the character we all know now.
Vader did not know Padme had given birth. In Revenge Of the Sith, at her funeral, she still appeared to be pregnant. That was a deception so any Imperial spies present would report back to the Emperor that the children died in utero. And, no, Luke and Leia are not aware of who their birth parents are.
Or, more likely, Lucas hadn't filled out the story even half as much as his fans likes to pretend.
It doesn't matter whether you're a first-timer or a long time fan, hearing Darth Vader's breathing will always send a chill up your spine.
Absolutely, put your hair up in Princess Leia style buns.
@@aragorniielessar1894 Okay Millennial
@@aragorniielessar1894 Yup, Boomers made Star Wars.
@@aragorniielessar1894 Did Lucas make Star Wars all by himself? Here's what you can do: lookup the names of the cast and crew of Star Wars and then see which generation most of them belong to. Go ahead -- you might learn something.
For the original theatrical audiences, Obi-Wan using the Jedi mind trick on the stormtroopers was the first time anyone had seen the Force being used.
Well, except for Vader chocking the smartass officer.
"Stop looking at your sister like that! You cannot keep it in the family"... Just wait. When the movie was made, they hadn't actually planned on them being siblings. That was something added in the rewrites of later films. One of the advantages of watching release order instead of chronological is you don't know that tidbit during certain scenes.
Ya if you know nothing about Star Wars it is best to start in release order because the prequels have spoilers that ruin the OT but if you already know all the spoilers through pop culture going with chronological order is fine, I guess.
Also kissing friends/relatives at that time was a more common thing.
@@nucl3arboNg Ya, I mean in the first movie it was a quick peck on the cheek for luck nothing sexual about it.
Also it is very realistic that a farm boy in a dessert planet, (quite literally) would be infatuated with some beautiful girl his age, since he barely interacts with other female humans.
He has no idea he has a sister and far as he knows he's the only child his parents bare.
Pretty much the same with Leia, who was a sheltered Royal who got impressed by this random boy with great skills.
@@nucl3arboNg yes, but also it is very obvious that although Leia is not that impressed with him, Luke is very interested in and attracted towards her.
In episode III at the end, if you remember, Yoda told Obi Wan that he would receive more training in Tatooine.., that someone has came back from the netherworld of the force... and it was Qui Gonn Jinn his old master. Qui Gonn taught Obi to became a force ghost after life. That´s why Obi Wan told Vader: "If you strike me down, I´ll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine..."
I thought it was funny when you said Luke looked much younger than Leia when they are supposed to be twins. At the time of making the movie, Mark Hamill, who played Luke was 24 while Carrie Fisher, who plays Leia was 19. I do agree that Mark Hamill doesn't look 24 in the movie which is why they are both supposed to be 19 years old.
Mark Hamill deliberately played (and maybe overplayed) Luke as a teenager in this movie so that it would emphasize Luke's youth and also his inexperience with the wider world. While Luke has been sheltered as a "farm boy" on a remote planet, Leia grew up as royalty on an important planet at the center of galactic politics. So, Luke had to appear younger and less mature, while Leia had to appear more worldly and mature. The differences in their backgrounds (isolated versus sophisticated) was echoed in the background stories of Anakin and Padme in the prequels.
Lucas didn't decide they were twins until preproduction on Return of the Jedi, four years later. People sometimes assume he's hinting at that in Empire, but at the time he was planning to introduce a new hero named Starkiller, who was going to pick up where Luke had failed.
He recognizes R2 but says he never “owned”him. He is very careful with his words.
Ok. "Peetreo" is officially the most adorable Star Wars nickname of all time. 🥺
My first experience with Star Wars is also my oldest memory, seeing Star Wars in 1977 at a drive-in movie with my parents when I was 3. As for your questions about why Leia is clearly older than Luke, why the droids and Obi-Wan don't recognize each other, Vader being Luke's father, etc. the answer for all of them is because none of those thing from the other episodes had been written yet when this movie was made
This film was mind blowing when it first came out. It was the first time a sci fi movie had a real life feel to it and was believable. I saw it in 1977 when I was 5 or 6.
I was 10 and it is all true.
I was 9 and it is almost impossible to relay to modern audiences just how revolutionary and groundbreaking this was. Lucas literally invented new SFX techniques that were unheard of...
I was four years old, and loved it. Got a bunch of Star Wars toys for Christmas that year, too.
In my opinion, all the added CGI Sh*t destroyed the beauty of the OT, because it looks terrible 😇
It's interesting that you mentioned Luke being younger than Leia. Mark Hamil is actually 5 years older than Carrie Fisher. Mark was 26 (born in 1951) at the time of the movie and Carrie was only 21 (born in 1956). I think in the movie the characters were supposed to be 19 or 20.
And in the movies he was like 5 minutes older ...
Hi Bisscute.
This version you are viewing is the remastered version with digital additions. The original 1977 version did not have the "so neatly added" digital effects. Imagine us who saw the releases of these movies (episodes IV, V and VI) and didn't know that Luke and Leia were siblings and they were the children of the infamous Darth Vader (tremendous plot twist). We knew nothing of the origin of the antagonist.
We still had to wait for 3 years to know how the story would unfold and another 3 for how it would end.
FYI, all the CGI you're seeing was added into the film in 1997 and again in 2005 and 2011. The 1977 release had no CGI in it (obviously). There was computer work done with camera control for model work, but we wouldn't see actual CGI characters until the mid/late 80s with Young Sherlock Holmes.
There is a tiny bit of CGI in the 1977 release. Look at 40:40 the white wire frame death star in the background is CGI. It is not intended to look realistic but CGI non the less
@@target844 Fascinating. Is that actually CGI or hand drawn? There was a lot of hand drawn stuff in that era intended to look like a computer readout.
@@nickgjenkins No I've heard the same thing before that that little bit with the Death Star for a few seconds is CGI.
@@nickgjenkins It's really CGI. There's a making of on TH-cam about this where they show how segments for the trench graphics were made. ("Making of the Computer Graphics for Star Wars (Episode IV)", it was uploaded 15 years ago.)
I was five years old when my mom took my sister, cousin and myself to see this Back then, there wasn’t multiplexes. Movie theaters only had one or two screens. So we satiated in line for four hours. The line wrapped around the block. There were street performers and vendors to keep the crowd entertained during the long wait. Such an awesome experience it was.
I think there was a pretty practical reason for the simple choreography in the Obi-Wan vs. Vader duel here. The lightsabers were made by putting retroreflective tape on a rotating shaft - not exactly the sturdiest thing in the world. I think they improved it a bit prior to episode V, though, so they were able to swing them a bit more aggressively there and in episode VI.
Biss calling 3PO "pitrio" is my new favorite thing ever.
Thanks for the review, and happy you liked it. It was made in 1977, decades before CGI was available, so all of the effects were done with makeup, models and costumes. And Luke and Laya won't know they're siblings for quite a while.
This is why waiting in between movies was such a virtue back then. each film had a three-year gap between them one year for setting up and writing , one year for shooting and the third for special effects ect. things didn't get done by computer back then. people didn't have brains back then,
@@sharonbeckerle5419 We had very big brains back then. We invented this stuff.
why do you people post this dumb shit? "decades before cgi"? We had ray traced cgi in 1979.... 🖕
I was seven years old when this movie came out. It was wildly different than anything that had come out before. It was good sci-fi with great special effects. When it came out there were no video rentals, no cable. You could only see in the theater. So I forced my parents to take me six more times while it was still in the theaters.
I can't be the only one.
EVERY time she says "Rrrrr 2", my heart skips a beat.
At the end of Ep.3, Bail Organa tells his captain Anitlles to have Threepio''s mind wiped, so Threepio doesn't remember anything from before. Artoo does, but keeps quiet about it. It's not that Obi-Wan doesn't recognize Artoo, he just says that he never OWNED a droid, and it's true. Obi-Wan never owned a droid because Jedi do not have possessions. They just use the droids that are assigned to them for whatever they need to do. Obi-Wan and Artoo both know that now is not the time to dump a lot of heavy news on Luke. Owen didn't recognize Threepio because Threepio looks different and it's been almost 20 years since they've seen each other. Remember that droids like Artoo and Threepio are generic and very common in the galaxy. Also, notice that Threepio did not even get a chance to give Owen his name.
Luke and Leia are the same age but were brought up in totally different environments. Leia was raised to be a political leader so she is very mature for her age, while Luke is naive, having been brought up in isolation on Tatooine.
No one was originally related when this movie came out. The family relations weren't developed until later movies.
Remember that Vader is not in charge. He is still serving as the emperor's enforcer and has to do whatever Sidious says. The Death Star is Tarkin's project, and Vader is just there to recover the stolen plans. Tarkin outranks Vader in this situation.
Plus, Tarkin and Vader have an actually friendly relationship and respect each other, so Vader doesn't feel the need to flex on Tarkin, unlike when he Force choked that other dude for being too snarky about the Vader's religion.
Once Tarkin is gone no one is above Vader but Palpatine
@@jmhaces Yes, Vader and Tarkin have a sort of mutual respect for one another.
Let's be honest, the retconning involved in the Star Wars prequels is pretty silly, George Lucas got lost in his own writing and fans are trying to cover for him trying to explain why things don't make sense. As long as it doesn't kill your suspension of disbelief when you're watching the films there's no need to try to explain it away.
@@Therap1ssed Exactly. It doesn't need to line up 100% exactly but some people seem to need explanations for every little thing, and it's fun to try to come up with in-universe explanations.
We didn't 'know' about Luke's parentage until 3 years later
About 20 minutes into this video, I liked and subscribed this video and I'm not sure why....oh it's because Biss is a Jedi!
The reason Vader "takes orders" from Tarkin is because Anakin served alongside Admiral Tarkin during the Clone Wars. (Star War: The Clone Wars animated series shows their relationship somewhat). Tarkin and Anakin saw eye to eye on many things and had great respect for one another. After Anakin was transformed into Vader, he would meet Tarkin again on his new flagship.
I absolutely love that you reacted to this. Absolute best reaction channel I have ever seen!
Fun fact: the death star model used in the trench run was mostly scrapped bits of models from the game Battleship.
Hey Biss, you asked if they filmed in the Sahara, they filmed on the border of Libya on the Tunisian side. They actually almost caused a war because the Libyans thought the Sandcrawler (the big thing the Jawas drive with the robots) was a tank LOL
Also C3P0 memory was wiped at the end of episode 3, but not R2 which is why he goes on his reckless adventure to Obi Wan
I think all Star Wars fans love how Rogue One fits exactly with what the opening roll up says at the beginning of New Hope.
I love how they made a movie about a single paragraph from the opening scroll. It's the only Disney Star wars movie that I enjoyed 👍
The dunes were from outside Yuma, AZ. In mid 70s, my parents were in Yuma to buy property, and the cast was staying in the same hotel.
Great LIVE and reactions to the original Star Wars film, Empress Biss!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I hope you will enjoy the next two in the trilogy, as well. Episodes 7, 8, and 9 are worth reacting to, in my opinion.
Nope
7, 8, & 9 are not worth reacting to In my mind, they aren't even the canon story because many of the books that continue the story of these characters that were written before Disney took over the IP were so much better than those movies. The sequel movies have no coherency and don't tell any kind of consistent or compelling story. Its made up as they go along. Don't bother with them.
Remember that this came out before episodes 1, 2, and 3, so we didn't know the backstory you're asking about (I still haven't seen them).
Remember at the end of the last movie with Yoda the senator took the droids and had their memories wiped. So that is why CP3O didn't know anyone. I saw this movie in the theater, and it was mind blowing, we had never seen anything like it before. Love your instinctive commentary and your outfit of the day. You will enjoy the next ones for sure.
Only said to have 3PO's mind wiped ... Not R2
When C-3PO says that ‘we’ve had some problems’, I’m like “You’ve had some problems?” I mean Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie were about to be crushed in a trash compactor for crying out loud.
When this movie premiered my brothers and I walked to the movie theater before it was light out we were the first ones in line and there were hundreds of people, so when the movie ended we hid under the seats so we could watch it again and again.😊
Haha nice
I've watched this movie so often that I actually can listen to the soundtrack and know the dialogue being said at any point in the music
You've asked a lot of questions about why the parents always seem to be killed off before the main character starts the main part of their story. This is the start of a famous method of storytelling going back to the old myths themselves known as "The Hero's Journey." A man named Joseph Campbell wrote a lot about it in general and specifically about how it is used in Star Wars. I think you would enjoy looking it up. If you just google "The Hero's Journey" and "A New Hope" there shouldn't be spoilers.
By the way, I first saw Star Wars when I was 13 and my little sister was 9. I quietly read the opening words to her right in her ear, so she wouls also know what was going on during the movie we were so excited to see!
That’s a good sister.
@Antonio-Gransci Why being so toxic about this? Back when I was keeping up with this kind of thing, Campbell was famous for the the Heroes Journey and I even took a class about it in college about 20 years ago. Like a lot of Star Wars fans at the time, I had the book about how his theory could be applied to A New Hope. It seems that you have data that I have not kept up with, but telling me that my information was out of date would have been sufficient.
@Antonio-Gransci Now I see what you have been taking about, and I see where my writing may have been unclear. I said that the death of a parent was the start (as an oversimplification) of a heroes journey and you must have took that to mean that I meant the whole idea started with Star Wars. I'm sorry that I missed that in your first post, but I guess I couldn't imaging someone even thinking that.
Good, blunt criticism is based on facts, it never needs to start with laughing at someone. That's the part that I found toxic and I stand by that. I know that it's tame compared to Reddit or something, but you wrote to me, a nice older gen x woman who saw Star Wars as a kid who was very interested in getting your correction about Campbell no longer being valid who just didn't feel like getting laughed at this morning.
I like how the Disney + series Obi Wan covered so much between Episode 3 and episode 4. So many fans wondered what Obi's life was like after episode 3. As well as Leia & Luke as young kids, AND not too mention Vader. Obi Wan series took place 10 years after Episode 3, whereas this movie takes place almost 20 years later.
4:24 Leia Skywalker was lead to believe she was of the house organa and her father a long standing member of the old republic, now a representative for the new formation of systems in the “imperial senate” but a secret member of the Rebel alliance
Luke was told by his uncle that his father was navigator on spice freighter, but was given very little if any information regarding his mother.
I have watched several of your reactions, but for some reason I feel compelled to subscribe after this one. Dang Jedi mind tricks!
When the movie came out in 1977 it was a standalone. A sequel wasn't planned until Lucas saw how wildly successful it was.
This was incredible as a kid in the movie theater. I wanted to be a pilot with the Empire because their black suits were the best and l worshipped the roar of the TIE fighters. 😂
OMG!! You are the fist person to tie the HELLO THERE to me across all the series. Oh well done!!
so when obiwas says "hello there" here. teh first words he ever spoke in 1977, that was homage to this in revenge of the sith when he said it to grevious
Great reaction BIss, I understand your confusion, I really wish you watched these movies in the order they were released, but what's done is done. I'm glad your enjoying Real Practical effects, little to no cgi was used or existed at the time this first movie was created, which makes this and the next 2 movies the greatest of the series, enjoy the journey 🙂
At the end of Episode Threepio's new master, Captain Antillies was told to wipe Threepio's memory. So he wouldn't remember anything previous.
Funnily enough.. I DID press the subscribe button when you said I should press it heheheh. Nice, the force is indeed strong with you ;)
Your Force had a strong influence on my weak mind....Subscribed
The droids had their memories completely wiped meaning factory reset on a computer.
Remember C3PO - His mind was wiped by Cpt. Antilles near the end of Episode 3, and R2D2 was never quick to volunteer information.
I am more and more convinced that the films should be watched in the order they were shot. Otherwise, the intrigue largely loses its meaning.But of course, everyone has to decide for themselves.If you're not a fan of mysteries, it doesn't really matter, even if you watch the series mixed up.
I think her nonstop asking of questions and being permantly confused speaks a lot for your convincement.
This was a joy to watch. Although I do wish you had watched them in release order instead of numerical order. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
1 - They erased droids data! it's mentioned in the lasts scenes in ep3
2 - Obi does not recognice r2. he was more of an r4 guy. Anyway, he has lived a lot of adventures with lots of stuff... remembering r2 for him is anything more than remembering any other event or droid ever in his life. It might be important because we've seen ep 1 2 and 3, but those events regarding R2 are little considering obi's entire life as a hole.
3 - Watto was the owner of Anakin and Shmi Skywalker.
4 - Yoda decided he must leave, retire, also mentioned in ep3. He was supper old already and he had enough.
Also, It feels that you were not properly mentally prepared. You should think this was the first SW product ever almost 50 years ago, no other context was there at all to understand better this movie. And also, the original cut was not called ep4 either, nor "A new Hope", back in 77 it was just Star Wars.
You should react to all movies you want, even the new 7 8 9 saga, if you really like SW, you are gonna see them anyway, what stops you really?. But also a mentally prepare state is needed, the new modern disney saga movies are marvel movies, not star wars movies. They are an insult to the Star Wars movies, it's noticeable. They are also bad movies. Everything seems it's there because why not. All restrictions described, mentioned and even necessary for the original plot, are now superfluous, ignored or just they make fun of them. ep 7 starts fine, but then half way and all the way to the 9nth movie is just easy and stupid.
Actually I’m pretty sure Obi did recognize R2. He was just pretending not to.
Yeah, and R2 is the good little rebel, he understands the seriousness of all which goes on, and he's quite discrete. In fact, from the start of it all, R2 is supposed to have secrets about the force, history about the galaxy, and even about the original race.
I love this reaction so much. I recently discovered you. In addicted to your videos!!!
If I recall, even the cast didn't know the 'kids' relationship until the second (fifth) movie was in theatres...the lines telling that bit of plot were substituted with something else during filming, and only on the voiceover were the actual lines used.
I think the director of Episode V wasn't even sure if Vader was being legit with Luke or not. I think George Lucas hadn't decided the final answer by then
Damn your force powers. I wasn't going to bother subbing or liking this video... but now I can't stop myself
Bisscute. I really love your reactions and your commentary. You think about things in a very amusing way, I'm always laughing at you. Thanks for cheering me up. Keep up the good work!
The only CGI in the original release was the wire-frame animation of the Death Star in the briefing for the pilots toward the end. That was state of the art in '77.
no it wasn't, what an idiotic comment! 🖕 ray traced cgi in 1979...
17:55 in the hierarchy they we're basically equal. Darth Vader was a Dark Lord of the Sith who only answered to the Emperor and wasn't technically in the Imperial chain of command at all. The only reason he does what Tarkin says is because he respects him as a military leader and was working with him. It was only after the destruction of the 1st Death Star that he was forced into the Imperial hierarchy, and low at that, as punishment for his failure. However, he often disobeyed the orders of his "superiors" at this time anyway so Imperial command structure really doesn't matter to Vader.
Some trivia: The flying over the surface of the death star was miniatures placed on ping-pong tables in a parking lot
Secondly: I have always thought this trilogy was more like a fantasy story, rather then a sci-fi thing. If you think about it, the characters are basically tropes that you find fantasy novels/movies and so is the story
The Tatooine scenes were filmed in Tunisia.
Petrio was aboard the space chunky with Princess Layla, but then he and R2 left to find Bobi.
I’m having flashbacks of sitting in the theater with my best friend watching this movie when it was first released (yeah, I’m old! 😭) and being amazed at the special effects while eating a big tub of popcorn. Watching your reaction to this classic movie was worth it just for some of the comments you made, which made me literally laugh out loud. 😄
The idea of watching them in order is so you'd know that C3P0 had his memory wiped at the end of Episode III
At the end of episode III Bail Organa (Leah's step father) had C3PO and R2D2's data banks wiped on Polis Massa (where Bail, Yoda and Obi wan met for the last time).
im glad you getting in to star wars enjoying your reaction. and may the force be with you ☺
I was around 10 when it was aired on tv in the 80:s. We recorded it and watched it over and over again like kids do. I probably watched it over 50 times as a kid.
The questions you ask are valid. They probably didnt plan having vader as father and Leia as sister at this point but just made it up later to make it interesting. The whole star wars story line doesnt really fit together but was probably mostly done to make entertaining movies.
Ya the writers had no idea at the time that Luke and Leia were siblings or that Vader was Luke's father. They figured that Star Wars, it wasn't called A New Hope then. was just a one and done movie they didn't even think would make money so the rest of the lore was made up on the fly.
The Tatooine filming location is actually in Tunisia, and the double sun is a very Earth-type opticsl illusion called a sun dog seen on occasion in.areas as diversecas China and New Zealand. Tatooine is, in pre-Disney tales, supposed to be an actual system with twin suns, but was a garden planet, covered in forests and grasslands until a great cataclysm caused nearly all surface water to dry up. This may or may not have been a pitched battle between Jedi and Sith. The only surviving native species are Jawas and krayt dragons.
You should watch Star Wars Scene 38 reimagined. It's basically a fan remaster of Obi-wan vs Vader
I had just turned 10 when this was released- blew my mind!! I’ve seen it at least 20 times now. It’s a classic western/hero story.. the fight scenes at the end were like WWII dogfights.
They literally were lol, they were “inspired” by a WW2 era film called Dambusters.
Only 20 times? For shame! 😜
Very much the same, for me. My dad took me to see this, as I recall, the Friday after Thanksgiving, that year --just he and I. We left my mom & sister at home. Ah, the memories.
Everyone always says "This is really impressive for 1977", but the effects have been redone. I saw in in the theater and remember the boxes around the ships and things like that. Anyway, it's wonderful that so many are getting to enjoy this epic saga.
Even with the boxes, it was still impressive for 1977. Nothing like it had ever been done and the tech they used was invented to make the movie.
When you Go to watch Episode 7, 8 and 9 - watch them in a Ironic Ligth
About the Episodes with no Spoilers:
Episode 7: Repeats to much
Episode 8: The Director Thinks a good Movie is a Movie that 50% of the People Love and the Other 50% hate!
Episode 9: They fired Collin Trevero as the Director (he wanted to bring the Story back to Corucant. Concept Art and the Entire Script later got leaked and a Fan Made a Full Comic of this Story "STAR WARS EPISODE 9: DUELL OF THE FATES".
After they fired him they did a completly new Story. Rumors say they Started the Production without a finished Script.
AND THEY DO SOMETHING SOOOOO
DESPERATE!
When this film was made, Luke & Leia weren't siblings. Lucas had planned to introduce the sister, a hitherto unseen character, in the 3rd film. By the time preproduction for Return of the Jedi had begun, Lucas realized it was too late to introduce such an important character, so Leia was repurposed into Luke's sister.
When this film was made, only miniatures & stop-motion animation existed as special effects. (Regular effects shots, such as explosions on set, had been around for decades.) The crude green drawings used for targeting, & the diagram of the Death Star were the only CGI in this film when released.
The scene where Han meets Jabba was filmed with a human Jabba. It never appeared in the original theatrical release because Lucas wasn't happy with it. After slug Jabba had been introduced, they reworked the existing footage with a CGI Jabba. I find it amusing they kept the "human being" line of dialogue!
Chewbacca is a Wookie.
Back in Rogue One, there is a 'fan service' moment, featuring the guys in the bar that told Luke, "You best watch yourself."
He runs into Jyn, and tells her, "Hey, you just watch yourself."
Very minor thing, it loses something if you watch Rogue One before seeing this movie.
🤦♀
at the end of 3, bail organa said "have the protocol droid's mind wiped. that is why he doens't remember the farm
Tatooine scenes were filmed in Tunisia, the northernmost country in Africa, next door to Algeria.
I was 5 and my older brother took me to see a re-run of Star Wars episode IV which was showing just before the opening of Empire strikes back episode V 1980, I don’t remember much, just a lot of flashing lights and loud music!!! was still amazing experience!! I remember the return of the Jedi slightly better in 1983!!! and then 1999 episode I the phantom menace, then 2002 episode II and 2005 episode III, the atmosphere from 83 onwards was electrifying and so so pact full of people!! all thirsty for the Skywalker family
" I have subscribed in the chanel... i love it" you get the force on me
Here’s the context:
- R2 remembers EVERYTHING that he experienced during the prequel trilogy. C-3PO had his memory erased at the very end of that trilogy, and so remembers nothing about it.
- R2 doesn’t reveal information, unless he has specific reason to reveal it (which is almost never the case).
- R2 and Obi-Wan of course remember each other from the prequel trilogy. But, Obi-Wan in Episode 4 is very carefully concealing the fact that he and R2 had met before, because Obi-Wan wants to not reveal a lot of information to Luke. I think that after a while, R2 perceives what Obi-Wan is doing, and plays along. (R2 perceives that Obi-Wan is not addressing him by name, and avoids saying something like, “What have you been doing all these years? It’s been so long!” within 3PO’s earshot, which would have been bad, because 3PO would then be in a position to translate that, in front of Luke.) (R2 is never shown meeting Luke, even as a baby, so R2 wouldn't remember him.)
- There are times and places where R2 could have been more revealing about what he knows, but everyone else (including 3PO) only viewed him as a quirky little astro-droid, and so never thought to ask R2 questions about anything ‘deeper’. For example, R2 could have filled in C-3PO about all the details of 3PO’s earlier existence (before 3PO’s memory was erased) - who created 3PO, where he lived, what adventures he had, etc. But, 3PO never thought to ask. (I think that if 3PO had asked, R2 would have told him at least part of it.)

Why does Vader comply, when Tarkin gives him an order to stop force-choking the general, rather than just kill Tarkin also?
Tarkin is a Regional Governor, who is also in charge of the Death Star. More broadly, Vader and the various people like Tarkin and the other people in the room, are like various Vice-Presidents and Ministers/Cabinet Secretaries - people just below the Emperor in the Imperial power structure. That power structure is not well defined - except for one thing: ALL of these people have a fear and awe of the Emperor. If Vader were to kill Tarkin, that would be disrespecting the Emperor, which no one wants to risk doing (including Vader). We (the audience) also don’t want Vader to kill Tarkin because Tarkin, while not in Vader’s league, is a pretty loathsome villain, and we’re happy when he dies when the Death Star is destroyed. So, in that context, (the Death Star is Tarkin's 'turf' - Tarkin runs it as the Emperor's proxy), Tarkin CAN give an order to Vader, and Vader will comply with it.
OMG! The force is strong with you, because I just scribed to your channel.
Awesome reaction. Saw this in the theater in 77 and it was incredible. Unlike anything we'd seen before. People cheering the heroes and booing the bad guys. As Peter Jackson put it "Balls to the wall" music. John Williams did an outstanding score, which I still listen to and enjoy immensely. A phenomena arose with the birth of Star Wars: show admission lines stretching literally for 5-10 city blocks, and people going back to see it dozens if not hundreds of times. This was when movie tickets were only $2-$4 a showing. It was also in the theater for what seemed like an entire year. Kind of unheard of today. Desert scenes were filmed in Tunisia, and the jungle scenes in South America.
definitely continue on with this story . Its a fun ride . Thanks for going down this path .Im Enjoying it . more more more lol This was a sweet birthday gift to wake up to . Have a wonderful day
I have an early memory of Star Wars premiering on HBO. I was very young but I remember my older brother being excited and my mom made popcorn on the stovetop. The family all sat down and watched it together.
For some funny reason, I just liked and subscribed and I love it!
You have to remember that Episodes 4, 5, and 6 were written and made 20-30 years before 1, 2, 3, and Rogue One. So some details and dialogue regarding the continuity doesn't quite add up 100%. Episode 3 did explain that C-3PO and R2-D2 had their memories erassd, which is why they don't recognize anyone. But it doesn't quite explain why Obi-Wan didn't recognize R2. So that's an example of things not fully adding up. Then again, he could've just been playing coy, but I don't think he has much of a reason to pretend not to know R2.
R2 knows everything, he never belonged to anyone but the republic and rebels. He is always on mission.
9:52 "I'm afraid I'm not quite _sure,_ sir. I _think_ she was a passenger on our last voyage. A person of some importance, I believe."
"Did he brain their _minds_ or they just don't wanna get..."
R2 and 3PO are keeping a _secret._ One of the rules of such an undertaking is, the fewer people who know it, the easier it is to keep.
Watch them all! All of them!
After this movie became such a big hit, George Lucas was able to go ahead with his original plan.
He had wanted to make his movies in a serial format, much like ones made in the mid-20th century. Serial, meaning an ongoing story split into nine-or-twelve-part movies. Each movie contained cliffhanger endings to entice viewers to keep returning.
George didn't have any scripts ready of course, but that was his hope.
Bail Organa ordered to erase C3PO memory on ep III at the end. However R2 not.
37:47 No “roger roger” anymore. Palpatine ordered to shut down the droid army in episode 3.
There was no CGI in 1977. They shot on locations. Tattooine was in Tunisia for instance.. And actually the actress playing Princess Leia is only 19.
You are correct about the aliens. Remember Star Wars was a HUGE gamble for Fox at the time. It was expected to fail. The Cantina scene they scrounged up costumes from old movies to add more alien depth. That is why some look like demons or monsters and not aliens. Since they are mixed in it just seems normal.
C3po mind was wiped at end of episode 3
