@SwenglishGamer um, you do realize that when they have that conversation that they are aware that Vader is Anakin, right? I always took him saying that as fearing he'd end up evil like his father. I'm sure that Obi-Wan would have talked to Owen over the years about why Luke was with him, what his father was like growing up, etc.

I really do wish I could have seen it. It must have been just an incredible experience to see this movie back in 77. No one ever saw anything like it up until then.
It was also used as the last name for the character of Jolee Bindo in the video game Knights of The Old Republic for the xbox, although it was spelled "Bindo"
I always perceived Han shooting Greedo as self-defense regardless of who shot first. Greedo had a gun in his face and was making threats, and was going to take him to Jabba. He didn't need Greedo to shoot first for it to be self-defense.
People usually didn't worry about these kinds of things back then. He trusts Luke because he knows he's got the force and its strong. Either luke was as talented or he wasn't and was going to get killed. it's a brutal world.

5:15 To be historically accurate, the name "Stormtrooper" comes from the specialist shock troops used by the Germans in WWI. The name simply stuck in popular culture for German troops in general, even those in WWII, because their uniforms were similar. On the other hand, the troops who wore the skull and crossbones badge were the SS, elite fanatic troops who were responsible for the more grotesque actions during WWII.
They later used the term Shock Trooper too for the Red and White Clones that guard Chancellor Palpatine, They also go by the name Coruscant Guard, and they’re led by Commander Fox!
The scenes with Biggs and Luke watching the fight from the surface of the planet with treadwell was included in the first run of Star Wars at the theater. Star Wars was so popular it had a second run at the theaters and the scenes were cut. I saw this with my own eyes!!!
Just started watching this star wars film for the first time and I must say,I'm extremely impressed with how they were able to get realistic creatures and flying ships to look so good in the 70s, people seeing this for the first time when it came out must have had there minds blown. Good thing I have Disney + I'm definitely watching all the Star wars films.
That John Williams inspiration part ever so slightly broke my heart, but was also very interesting and I would like to know more. I hadn't heard about this before.
12:58 my idea has always been that this was the moment that Owen and Beru were killed and Obi Wan sensed it happening. Mind made up, guess you should come with me to Alderaan Luke!
Starkiller was originally going to be Luke's last name in the original script Though it'd be used again in Knights of The Old Republic for the character "Bendak Starkiller", as well as the Force "Unleashed" series and in "The Force Awakens"
I remember watching Star Wars for the first time on the 70mm screen. (I had not seen 2001 to young) It was the most AWESOME thing I had ever watched. And nothing has ever matched that in a firm ever again. Thanks for the blast from the past. Sad about what happened to Obi-Wan Alec Guinness is a favorite of mine. I just would have liked to have seen him a little more. Oh well, we get to see him when he's dead. Thanks again good job. I will be looking forward to the rest.
When obi wan and vader were fighting, the lightsaber props were made of glass to make them illuminate more when the effects were done. Because of this, the props themselves were not able to touch each other because they would break if they did. That's why in the fight, when the blades clash, there is a green spark in between. That is there to cover up the fact that the blades don't actually touch.
I’m loving this!! There went my morning! 😂 I spent most of my time watching these. LOVE THEM! Didn’t Luke yell out “Carrie” when he landed his X-Wing in the original then they replaced it?
I love this, even though I know all of these facts I still love to watch you guys, oh and thank you for helping me pass the time while cleaning my bathroom.
Love this! A couple other honorable mentions (that I’m sure people have already pointed out) is that Bantu ends up being a character in Rebels and Krayt dragons and sand people get thought out and explained in the Legends book Kenobi. Great vid!
I've never learned more from a New Rockstars video until today. My goodness man, hats off to you my friend. I'll definitely watch all of these. Me personally, I'm going to go back and watch all the Star Wars films, in order; 1,2,3,Solo, Rouge One(Because they actually tie in to the main story), 4,5,6,7 and finally 8, then, unless I'm working that day, i will try my best to go see episode 9 on opening weekend. I've been a big Star Wars fan for as long as i can remember, thanks to my mom. Who grew up watching the original trilogy and passed that love on to me. Also, it's that kind if bizarre yet intriguing story telling that makes me want to become a writer, so thank you for that as well Mr. George Lucas
In the 1980's, NPR produced an adaptation of the "Star Wars" trilogy for radio. Chapter 4 featured Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels reprising their movie roles. And among them in the cast were Perry King, Keene Curtis, Brock Peters, Meshach Taylor, and others. This version added a great deal of detail to the story, including Luke hanging with his friends at Anchorhead and Leia having to kill an Imperial officer named Tion and escape in the Tantive IV.
2:15 I truly miss the Coronet in SF. I was there opening day for Phantom and George showed up and that footage can be found on the bonus discs. My dad said er had to sit on his lap in the aisle to watch this here…I was 4. Cheers keep the content coming…
I also love all of Star Wars! Including the Novels, Comics, and even the table-top RPG! Thanks for the Star Wars love and positivity E.Voss! Also, you're hilarious!!!! LOLS!
It's because that didnt happen. I dont understand the confusion, played at half or full speed he very clearly, to me, says "hey", it's obvious that it's a 1 syllable word he shouts. but 🤷♂️
I've seen every revamp of Star Wars and I think my favorite is 2004. The only part I don't like is the Han and Greedo confrontation. I feel the Han shot first part was fine
Naga Saddow also mention in the prequel MMO game Star Wars The Old Republic as a quest line when picking Inquisitor as a your class you go a place called The Tomb of Naga Saddow to release monster thats becomes your pet.
As a person who's currently reading Dune, I'm surprised Herbert didn't sue George Lucas. There are literally countless similarities. LITERALLY COUNTLESS.
This may have been mentioned, but when C3PO says that he used to work on a moisture farm just like this one…it was this one! That is my favorite retconned line in the whole thing.
I watched this movie when I was very little, then I watched it again around two years ago and I was so confused because I felt so many scenes were so different. Apparently I was right
I was 7 in 1977, when the first movie came out, and it blew my mind. It's hard to impress upon kids today just how amazing and revolutionary it was.
Me too!
Yes it was huge, wasn’t it. As a 6 year old it totally captured all my imagination from the get go. Running around the school playground pretending to be an X-Wing Fighter was the norm!! 😊
I was 1. Hey, at least I'm not a millennial! 🤣🤣🤣
You missed the part when Luke's aunt says "he is too much like his father" and Uncle Owen said "that's what I'm afraid of".
The title is details you missed, not things that everyone already knows and understands
Aunt Beru says, "He has too much of his father in him."
@SwenglishGamer um, you do realize that when they have that conversation that they are aware that Vader is Anakin, right? I always took him saying that as fearing he'd end up evil like his father. I'm sure that Obi-Wan would have talked to Owen over the years about why Luke was with him, what his father was like growing up, etc.
"Afraid" That line hit hard. His half brother that turned to the dark side.
@@damiansaucedo9951 Owen and Anakin aren't related through blood they're only related cuz Owen's dad and Anakin's mom were married making them step brothers
When Han comes blazing in saving Luke at the end the entire theater erupted with cheers it was awesome back in 77
Yep. I remember that too.
I really do wish I could have seen it. It must have been just an incredible experience to see this movie back in 77. No one ever saw anything like it up until then.

It was also used as the last name for the character of Jolee Bindo in the video game Knights of The Old Republic for the xbox, although it was spelled "Bindo"
@@karlsmith2570 bindo and bendu are different names lol it wasn't pronounced Bendu but spelled Bindo even in the game they pronounced it Bindo

may the highground be with you, on this journey of breaking down star wars!

Yes
Horizontal lightsaber being turned on seems to be a force users weakness, dark and light :p
I’ll stop watching when Solo hits me with a stick.
Don't you mean: "AAAAAAAAAARGHHH"
In the scene when all the generals are sitting together, there is an empty chair, presumably for Krennic
Two other videos
RIP
Vader sure wasn't going to sit there. He's on their side but their not colleagues.
No because the Krennic didn't exist as a character until decades later in the mind of writers Tony Gilroy and Chris Weitz.
@@eddyk3 Krennic existed in canon
I'M HERE AFTER KENOBI EPISODE 3 AND WOAHHHH THE BURN MARKS COULD BE FROM THAT!! WE SHALL SEE
I always perceived Han shooting Greedo as self-defense regardless of who shot first. Greedo had a gun in his face and was making threats, and was going to take him to Jabba. He didn't need Greedo to shoot first for it to be self-defense.
I've always had a similar thought, since I was five in '77. I compare it to a showdown at high noon, in the center of town. Fastest on the draw, wins.
I agree. I am learning TIQUONDo and we have learned this principal. if you feel threatened, do something about it!
People tend to forget that Luke almost killed Obi-Wan when he activated the lightsaber.
@dustisdeadbodies85 I actually agree with you on that it was pretty dumb.
Almost killed himself too lol
Frowlinian lmao yeah he looked directly into the emitter 😂
Not really. Obi-Wan would have just dodged out of the way just like he dodged Jar Jar's ears in The Phantom Menace.
People usually didn't worry about these kinds of things back then. He trusts Luke because he knows he's got the force and its strong. Either luke was as talented or he wasn't and was going to get killed. it's a brutal world.
Luke destroys Death Star, with help: gets ceremony and medal.
Poe destroys even bigger Starkiller Base, mostly by himself: gets demoted and slapped.
Beau McDean the people there are mean these days
It's so unfair. It's just Disney trying to subvert our expectations about the sequels.

I think that he meant canon
Felt like that was a kiss up to the sequels lmao when starkiller had been a thing in games years before.

To me, the most startling thing in the "Special Edition" was all the CGI creatures, especially those added in Mos Eisley. Completely unnecessary.
Very much so. Completely screws it up.
For me it was putting Hayden Christensen in art the end one Jedi.
The worst one is the horribly cgi-ed creature that blocks your view of the "these aren't the droid you're looking for" scene at 15:04
And then there's maclunkey
Return of the jedi had worse CGI in Jabbas palace and jabba
This is the video I’ve been waiting for. I cannot wait until return of the Jedi

Get the original theatrical release (a bonus disc sold with the classic trilogy around 2005) to enjoy what we saw in 1977.

He did not take the medal at the ceremony. But he was indeed offered one.

Looking back at this now that patch was the burn mark vader left as a mark on boi-wan possibly?
The burn patch on obiwan is from kenobi episode 3!

@General Kenobi hello there
@General Kenobi repeated be grievous in the clone wars series
@General Kenobi master kenobi, it's an honor

How has nobody noticed this? I noticed it once and didn’t bring it up.

Starkiller was originally going to be Luke's last name in the original script
Though it'd be used again in Knights of The Old Republic for the character "Bendak Starkiller", as well as the Force "Unleashed" series and in "The Force Awakens"

Good catch in the patch if you just saw episode 3 of obi wan
That’s what I was gonna mention lol.
Don’t think that tiny patch is caused from that though
After Episode 3 of Obi Wan TV series: We have an answer what the burn patch on Obi Wan's robes are! It took 45 years
