    Thanks for the reaction. :) In 1977, Star Wars was completely new to the audience, so it is normal to not know anything when starting with this movie. :)

      This was also the reason why it NEEDS the "opening crawl", which took a BIG FIGHT with the actors guild, because TITLE CARDS listing the names of actors and directors and such were MANDATORY because of that union.

    Think of it this way. You are in the 70s and you have never seen special effects like this before. You've never seen spaceships that actually look like they are... you know ... in space! You have probably seen special effects 100 times better since then with CGI. (I just noticed you are watching the version Lucas redid with CGI inserts... totally not needed) What they did with models in this movie was like what Avatar did with CGI. All of the laser blasts were hand-painted onto the film print. No computer video editing, all film. It was something totally new and incredible to see in 1977. (fellow nerds, let me know if I am wrong on any of that)
    My comment from your Spaceballs post:
    Now if you do happen to watch Star Wars, you will be laughing at gags you remember from Spaceballs.

      I was 12 years old when this appeared out of nowhere in the summer of 1977, and suddenly there were monster lines stretching around theaters all summer long. I saw it in theaters at least a dozen times that year, and it was as close to a religious awakening as any movie experience has ever been. Will ever be. Could ever be.

      Remember, there was no streaming no downloads no TH-cam nothing like that. to see Star Wars you had to go to the theater. There was no home movie systems at all and this was brand new completely cutting edge and so the story goes episode 4, 5 and six and then it goes back to 1, 2 and 3, and then it goes even bigger. So next is the Empire Strikes Back, and then Return of the Jedi. And you didn’t get to see the Empire strikes back for at least a year and a half to two years and the same for Return of the Jedi you had to wait for the continuation of the story.

    When this first came out, it was revolutionary for special effects. Nothing in the space scenes was computer generated or animated, it was all real, practical effects. You can watch various documentaries that go through the process George Lucas went through with miniature models for things like the Falcon, Death Star, Alderaan, etc. There are some small effects, mostly on Tattooine, where George Lucas went back in the 90s as computer CGI became possible, and he added in/edited some things to "update" the looks. If you look at it, you can easily spot the few aliens that are CGI and which ones were from the original, where they were all people in costumes. Part of why so many of the effects hold up is because they weren't constrained by the computer technology of the 70s, but were all practical.
    This was also not expected to be a success by most of the people in the movie. Alec Guiness (Obi-Wan) was a very well-known actor with a lot of prestige. He thought it was an easy paycheck for a "silly movie". It was a surprise to everyone how much of a hit it was. It was also a movie that went through extensive editing by Lucas' wife that turned it from a bloated mess of a script into one of the best screenplays of all time (search up "Star Wars saved in the edit" for a more full picture of how much she saved the project).
    George Lucas was also friends with Stephen Spielberg, who consulted on some things. It launched the careers of Harrison Ford (Han Solo) who is also Indiana Jones, and was in several other older movies (and in an upcoming MCU movie). You might also know Luke (Mark Hamill) as the voice of the Joker in the DC animated movies/shows and the voice of Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender (among other things).
    Excited to see the Star Wars journey continue. After Episode 5 and 6, you will want to watch episode 1, 2, 3, and then the Star Wars Clone Wars series (the Clone Wars is a bit of a commitment but becomes so worth it). Those were all the projects that were released before Disney bought Star Wars. There's a lot of content after that point, but it's a long way out.

      It was since Disney bought it. After Avengers Endgame which had already been written basically, they set about destroying the franchise. It had already started with the first Captain Marvel movie which was pretty bad. After Endgame they doubled down. The Spider-Man that came out after while not terrible was somewhat of a letdown. They did a decent series WandaVision then ruined Falcon and the Winter Soldier which I had really looked forward to. Hawkeye was a big disappointment. Loki wasn't as good as it should've been. Then there was the dumpster fire SheHulk. I've given up on them completely. Love and Thunder? Give me a break. Etc etc.
      Disney even tried to ruin Snow White. It's been put on hold because of the backlash but, I fully expect they will still make a mockery of the iconic children's classic. It's what Disney is doing now. DEI trumps producing a good story the fans might enjoy. It's all about virtue signaling now.

    _A long time ago, in a movie theater about 50 miles away ..._
    *THERE WAS NO EPISODE TITLE*
    The studio didn't think this film would make much money. Lucas was crossing his fingers that it didn't bomb. For all he knew, Lucas was making one standalone movie. "Episode IV" and "A New Hope" were added in later releases, to be in line with the numbering adopted with Episode V.
    I first saw _Star Wars_ in 1977, at the Indian Hills Theater in Omaha, Nebraska, US (a city of about 1M). The Indian Hills was one of the last remaining Cinerama theaters in existence (it's long gone, now).
    Cinerama was an experimental widescreen format seen in the 1950s and 1960s. It had an extremely curved screen, such that films shot in Cinerama used _three cameras_ and _three projectors_ : one for the center of the screen and one for each side. Everything had to be constantly synchronized so that the film looked normal onscreen.
    If you see Cinerama films on DVD/Bluray/streaming today, it often looks distorted on the left and right. This is caused by converting a curved film to a flat screen.
    So there I was at the Indian Hills at the tender age of 12 -- the film's precise target demographic. The Indian Hills seated 810 patrons: 662 on the main floor and 148 in the balcony. It was completely packed, as was every screening of _Star Wars_ in every theater in the world, until the film left theaters.
    I'd gotten to the theater rather late, forcing me to sit in the center seat of row one.
    This turned out to be fantastically good bad luck.
    Today, the center of row one is a terrible seat due to parallax distortion. In a theater the size of the Indian Hills, that distortion didn't exist because the screen was far enough away from the seats. However, it was close enough so that it filled my field of view from top to bottom.
    The screen was large and curved enough so that it filled my field of view from periphery to periphery.
    _Star Wars_ was shot in CinemaScope, a more popular widescreen format that we still see today. While not technically the same as Cinerama, it still lent itself well to that screen.
    I watched _Star Wars_ with the film filling my entire field of view from top-to-bottom and side-to-side. I didn't have to turn my head to watch it unless I wanted to, and I usually didn't.
    It was an astonishingly immersive experience. Not even IMAX comes close.
    Add to that the massive audience reaction that shouldn't be overlooked. It was a shared experience that I've only seen at _Infinity War_ and _Endgame_ on their opening nights, when there were a lot of fans present.
    This audience reaction happened at every screening, in every theater, everywhere in the world, until _Star Wars_ left the screens.
    Imagine 810 people all cheering, clapping, jumping to their feet, and occasionally crying all at once. The shared experience was amazing, as it fed on itself. No one held back, it just kept growing and growing until the destruction of the Death Star -- which prompted massive roaring from the audience.
    The film itself was like nothing put to the screen at that time. While cinematically based on old _Flash Gordon_ and _Buck Rogers_ movie serials of the 1930s, this was a big-budget, big-screen version like nothing anyone had ever seen before.
    It completely changed science fiction on the movie screen. Until that time, you occasionally got a good science fiction film, but they tended to be years apart. After _Star Wars_ , there were multiple good science fiction movies every year, a trend that continues to this very day.
    There would be no modern _Star Trek_ without _Star Wars_ . _Star Wars_ was such a massive hit for 20th Century-Fox that Paramount quickly looked around and said, "Aha! We have this _Star Trek_ thing that Trekkies are always saying they want more of. Let's make it into a movie!"
    Thus _Star Trek - The Motion Picture_ was released in 1979. Without that, there would be no _Star Trek_ today.
    _Star Wars_ changed filmmaking from a business perspective. The film grabbed audiences like nothing seen in the entire history of cinema. While _Jaws_ was technically the first summer blockbuster, _Star Wars_ cemented summer as the time to release action-heavy, family-friendly films.
    The special effects of _Star Wars_ were utterly innovative, and the tools created by the likes of John Dykstra became commonplace in films that don't even have special effects.
    Almost all special effects in the Original Trilogy were achieved either in-camera, with optical effects, miniatures, extremely detailed paintings, or a combination of those techniques. CGI that allows an entire film to be shot on a green screen wasn't even a glimmer in anyone's eye.
    In 1977, the most advanced computers were the size of an SUV and didn't have the computing power of your phone. CGI as a primary filmmaking technique wasn't popularized until _Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow_ in 2004. By then, computing power/square centimeter had skyrocketed exponentially.
    The special effects spawned Industrial Light and Magic, a company created and owned by George Lucas. ILM is still in existence today, constantly innovating with new technologies to create visual effects for many, many films and TV series. From it's inception, ILM has been considered the gold standard of VFX companies.
    In short, this film was nothing like what had come before. It changed _everything about cinema_ .
    And I got to see it with an audience of 810, on a screen so immersive that I got nauseous during the Trench Run.

    Up until Star Wars was released in 1977, there were virtually no "lovable" robots/androids in cinematic films. There was the very likable "Robbie the Robot" from the classic 1958 film, "Forbidden Planet", but aside from that, I can think of no others.
    R2D2 and C3PO were instantly loved by audiences. R2D2, especially, made audiences cry whenever he was in danger! They inspired a great many future films that featured lovable robots.

    Great reaction to this classic you two...
    To explain what happened to Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi is that he became one with the light side of the force (he ascended to a higher form of existence within the force, sort of leveled up, lol). He said to Darth Vader in their last battle "You can't win Darth, if you strike me down I shall become more powerful that you can possibly imagine". He disappeared from the natural world before Vader struck him with lightsaber, which confused Vader & that is why he stomped on the robes to see if any trace of him remained. Now Obi-Wan is untouchable from the natural world but he can still look after and communicate with Luke through the power of the force (a type of immortality for Obi-Wan). This ability of the force is only reserved to the good light side Jedis'...Evil dark side Sith Lords cannot achieve that and would pass away if they were struck down...
    Also the lightsaber colors have different meanings (Blue - represents loyalty, stability, truth & justice. They are the Jedi Guardians. Green - represents growth, safety, harmony & knowledge. They are the Jedi Consulars. Purple - represents nobility, strength, wisdom & balance. They are the Jedi Grand Masters. Red - represents darkness, aggression, anger & hatred. Red is only used by evil Sith Lords).
    I hope you both continue your Star Wars journey with Episode V: The Empire Strike Back, for it is even better than the last one. (No spoilers) there you will see the rebellion fight to survive as the empire aggressively seeks them out (they're all pretty mad about the Death Star being destroyed by the rebellion) as Han, Chewie, Leia, C-3PO & R2-D2 make new friends and new enemies along the way. You will also learn more about the Jedi way of life and more about the force as Luke searches for the mysterious character named Yoda. And you finally will learn all the full details of what actually happened to Luke's father before Darth Vader betrayed and murdered him. Brace yourself for this next middle chapter of this great original trilogy & may the force be with you....

It had a huge Cinemascope screen, which put you right into space with them. It’s impossible to describe the impact this had on audiences back then. Everything was a first. When they jump into hyperspace, the audience gasped and shouted. And the climactic battle was the most exciting thing anyone had ever seen.

      Not only that, but he knew Luke would never leave him there as long as he was alive. So he allowed himself to be unalived so that the rest could escape.

    I was ten years old when this movie hit the theaters.
    My Dad took me to see it in a theatre that had just installed a Dolby stereo sound system.
    I remember watching this movie and being completely in awe of what I was seeing.
    This movie is one of the best memories I have with my Dad.
    I have been a Star Wars fan every since.
    The honest truth is most movies you see today are made possible because of George Lucas.
    Most of the special effects you see in the original (before all the remakes) movie George Lucas had to create from scratch.
    There was no CGI.
    If possible you you should try to find the original Star Wars and watch it to compare.

    33:11 This duel is a bit low key because it’s the first light saber battle shown in the series. The director just had the actors do basic fencing moves.
    However, with each movie the lightsaber battles will get more and more chaotic. The writers actually invented multiple styles of lightsaber fighting to make such scenes really pop.
    For example, Obi-Wan is a master of Form III that is very strong on defense. He basically blocks everything until his opponent is worn out. Vader’s style is Form V which favors aggressive overwhelming attacks. They are basically the ultimate counter to one another’s styles.
    Someone actually made an animated version of this duel is longer and shows what two Force wielders can do when pulling out all the stops. You can find it on TH-cam.

    I was 13 years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre. The special Effects were ahead of its time. The Movie was originally just called Star Wars because George Lucas did not know if he would be allowed to make more Star Wars movies, It was renumbered Episode IV when Episode V The Empire Strikes Back when it was released in 1980. George Lucas started with the first Movie of his middle trilogy.

    Virtual hug 😊 Thanks for your reactions. You are both the best. I'm so happy you are getting to watch in the proper order. Many people will agree that watching 4,5,6,1,2,**,3,Rogue One is essential. After that, everything else is optional, but I'm sure we all hope you will visit The Mandalorian.
    ** There are some introductory episodes in the Clone Wars show for a main character in Episode 3. If you don't see them, there will be no context for the character and you won't know anything about them and will be wondering about them because they just come out of nowhere as if you already know them. I don't know what ones to watch beforehand, but you may want to consult with someone who won't spoil anything. The biggest issue is that the Clone Wars show has been rebooted. In the original show (an animated cartoon), Chapter 20 and 25 seem to be relevant and can be found on TH-cam. In the reboot (a cgi animated series), an episode titled "Lair of G......." may be the one I was thinking of, but I don't have access to it at the moment. If you skip it, it's not a big deal, it's just that a character will be more mysterious than necessary.

    I have literally watched the first three (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi) over a hundred times. I often play these original 3 Star Wars movies in the background as I work. The first 6 seasons of Game of Thrones and MCU movies before 2020 have taught me that the Star Wars franchise can do much much better than the combined 6 hours of those 3 movies as top tier entertainment. Game of Thrones and the MCU gave us many more hours of top quality.

    Hello, ladies! I have grown to really enjoy your reactions and analyses after the reaction. You outshine the others with your insights and thoughtfulness. This movie was a revelation to audiences at the time it was made. It was the most realistic visually, and the storyline was simple yet engaging. I saw the film several months before it's general release at a preview showing in San Francisco in 1976. I was 20 years old and was completely blown away by the film. To see it now, is to lose the context of the times in the mid 1970s. So many films have benefitted from the special effects work pioneered in Star Wars, CGI essentially started with this film, which birthed the first stand alone film CGI lab. However, at the time, the CGI was used mostly to create background environments. As a result most of the special effects are practical. There is a small thin man inside of C3PO, and a midget inside of R2D2. The 6'4" English actor who played Darth Vader didn't sound menacing enough for George Lucas, so he hired the legendary James Earl Jones to provide voice over recording as the voice of Darth Vader. Anyway, welcome to the journey! I think episode V is pretty much agreed to be the best of the films. CGI really took over by the time the prequels, episodes I II and III, were made many years later, as you will see. That said, each film has it's flaws and high points...best wishes, and may the force be with you!

    I've been along for your journey so far, I'm happy that you're finally beginning the Star Wars franchise. You are already off to a good start by watching in release order, I know the episode numbering system for Star Wars confuses a lot of new fans. (Enjoy the journey, ignore any of the negative or toxic fandom, sadly this franchise has become entangled in a lot of controversy, especially since George Lucas "stepped down".)

  • @scottallen6160

    Jyn agreed to watch Star Wars! Yeah! I was so happy to see that!
    I was eight when this first started in theaters. My mom said I didn’t move the whole movie. I, like you, was fascinated with the Force. If only I could say “he doesn’t have to eat his broccoli” (waving my hand) to my mom then.. The philosophy of the Force is pretty cool. George Lucas was pretty creative in designing a different way to describe good and evil.
    I am glad you both liked it. I am glad you are willing to watch more. Luv to you both!

    There will be highs and lows during this great enterprise of flicks. It was originally slated for 1 movie, with an outside chance for more to come if this performed well enough in the theaters. Most in the business thought, at best it would end up bringing in only what is cost to make. Lucas, the executive producer took rights to all merchandising in lieu of a generous payment. That deal wound up being the greatest in film history.

  • @mikebrown7799

    Hi Jyn & Ryl!😊 Great to see you ladies finally watching the original Star Wars trilogy. For people that saw these films in the theaters, there is a strong devotion to these films. Obi-Wan Kenobi became pure energy. There were many attempts to replicate the success of these films when they came out. There was the original "Battlestar Galactica" TV show that cost $1 Million Dollars per episode at that time. There were also many low budget space films that tried to take advantage of the popularity of the Star Wars trilogy. Great reactions to your very first Star Wars film, Ladies!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 May the force be with you!😉

    Consider the following, gang. Roughly 41 years spanned between the release of the first Flash Gordon Saturday matinee movie serial (one of the primary inspirations for Star Wars) in 1936 and the debut of SW in 1977. At the time I'm composing and posting this message, almost 47 (FORTY-SEVEN) years have passed since Star Wars itself was released! And in 1977 I thought 1936 was "ancient history". Mercy, do I ever feel old!
