This Was Record A While Ago But if you would like to see the next movie of star wars leave a LIKE on the video - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Just for clarification about why they didn't blow up the bigger planet, that planet was a gas giant, like Saturn or Neptune. There's a good chance if they fired the Death Star at it, the potential explosion from igniting all of that gas could destroy it as well as the rebel base. That's why they didn't fire at it.
Great point....like having a front row seat to a mini-Supernova
Can't wait to see your reactions to the next movies, they only get better from here. And when you get to Episode I, II, and III, you get an entirely new view of the universe, it's great
If you exclude sequels then you're kind of right.
@@mrzirak792 Haha yea, TFA isn't terrible but the other 2 we won't talk about 😬
@@ThatSnake4720I had so much hope after the force awakens… I personally loved it
While TFA was fun to watch, it was still terrible if you look at what they do and especially do not show us. So many things happen of screen
@@ThatSnake4720
We do talk about those movies all the time 😅
The man spontaneously coined the phrase “one with the Force”. Well done that man.
So little information. This film originally released as *Star Wars* back in 1977. *A New Hope* along with *Episode IV* wasn't added until the theatrical re-release on April 10, 1981 just a year after The Empire Strikes Back released. Empire Strikes Back released with *Episode V* in it's opening crawl making it the first Star Wars film to have an episode number. This was a year before *Episode IV* was added to the first Star Wars (A New Hope) so I imagine alot of people were confused when *Episode V* popped up thinking "Wait Episode V!!! Did we miss something?".
Pretty much the director George Lucas had the idea of releasing a trilogy of films that being Episode IV, V, and VI later known as the *Original Trilogy* and then go back years later and do Episodes l, ll, and lll retelling how Darth Vader came to be these being known as *The Prequals*. Don't think too hard about the numbering system, basically the Original, Prequals, and then the Sequels.

Ahsoka - 😍😑😴😩😒😏
Well didn't expect a star wars reaction but a welcome one indeed
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
He mentioned watching it before. I've been waiting ever since
This is where the fun begins
I low-key miss the days when I see 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm credited together. I still have episodes 1-6 in the form of the 2015 repackaging of the Complete Saga.
I always get super-hyped when reactors I follow jump onto this franchise. I look forward to the rest of your reactions.
Welcome aboard. Take care of yourself and may the Force be with you.
1-6 Star Wars are Peak fiction
@@kamixakadio2441Those are the only movies. Nothing else counts.
Can’t wait for revenge of the sith fr
And the last season of clone wars
@@HtxHenry Fr man
BRO! Revenge of the sith is fr the BEST Star Wars movie
Fr bro
@@sandermandermemes Fr man, agreed
The composer of the music for Star Wars John Williams is a musical genius and a legend
The actual GOAT
At least half of the most iconic and recognizable soundtracks of all time were from him.
R1, R2, R3 and R4 units are called 'Astromech Droids'. You're right, they do perform mid-flight repairs, but they also act as co-pilots, and can fully take over if a pilot is incapacitated for whatever reason.
Where were the R1 units? I remember R2 from the movies, and R3 & R4 from the clone Wars. Was R1 in there too?
@@cjnewman7550 There's one Astromech R1 unit appearing in this movie. In the scene where Jawas are selling droids to Uncle Owen and Luke the tall black droid standing on the right side of C-3PO is R1-G4 modified by Jawas.
Also in the Ep. 1 there's an unmodified R1 unit in Watto's shop.
If a ship makes a jump to light speed there is no way to know where they went without tracking them. Which was a weird plot point in one of the newer movies.
gotta love the random retcons they do in the recent movies :/
Also, the Falcon is one of the fastest ships at light speed.
@@crackers5422(No, we don’t. We can pirate them into bankruptcy as punishment.)
@@crackers5422 Yeah, anyone that actually enjoyed the modern movies (except rogue one) has brainrot and does not know what ACTUAL cinema is supposed to be "What do you mean, stuff went boom? Good movie."
Yes, please continue in release order. The proper order is always release order for new fans.
Great reaction! 😊
RIP always to Carrie Fisher(Princess Leia), who sadly passed away in 2016!
I'm enjoying your MCU journey so far. And I'm so excited that you're starting on the "Star Wars" saga.
The reason for the really good special effects for it being a 1977 movie is because you're watching the "special edition". In 1997 director George Lucas went back to clean up, and add in special effects and extra scenes to the original trilogy.
16:16 - 16:29 This was one of the scenes that George Lucas went back to change. This scene was originally filmed with an Irish actor playing Jabba. That's why there's the line "Jabba, you're a wonderful human being".
I'm already looking forward to the next one, "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back".
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
@@mikek0135 i deleted. Please do so as well. Apologies
I actually like the “human being” line more in the context of him not actually being human. Makes it sound almost like a backhanded insult from Han, lmao.
If this guy is about to go on a full star wars journey, im here for every second of it!
Can’t wait for more star wars content. It’s all definitely worth the watch. You should definitely watch it in a canon order
As mentioned, the weakness plot-hole is explained in "Rogue One". Honestly, you could watch Rogue One at any time now without spoiling the rest of the story as it really just clears up some unexplained references and plot holes made in A New Hope.
It's not really a plot hole at all. People just overthink things. To us back in 77, we just assumed that something so big and complicated would have some small structural weakness they overlooked. No need for a long, drawn-out explanation, just keep the plot moving.
It's not a plot hole, it's a small vent port. 😝😄😒 Sorry.
It's not really a plot hole though, Rogue One just overcomplicated it. In this movie we see that the exhaust port is heavily defended and that targeting computers can't lock on properly. That's why the first attempt fails. It's basically an impossible shot to make but of course the Force allows you to do the impossible.
Yeah it was not really a plot hole , the movie pretty much depicts an impossible to access weakness , unless you have enough forces to surpass the defense OR the Force lol .
Nah best to wait and let the graphic and cg quality dictate the order
"Jack Skywalker" is craaazy!! 😂
To this day, A New Hope is still one of my all time favorite movies. The reason the Rebel ships had the little droids in them, was to handle navigation/repairs in flight. The reason the bad guys don't have them on their ships, is because the Bad Guy ships are mass produced for more of a swarm tactic, no shield, navigation, or even life support, thus needing the bad guys to be in full flight gear.
You have taken your first steps into a larger world...
As an absolute star wars nerd, im super excited to watch these along with you! Glad you were enjoying this one too.
the reason it glitches when they turn on and off the light saber is because they have to cut the footage since when they're supposed to ignite it they freeze and someone runs onto set and puts the blade in, then take it out when they retract it. welcome to sci-fi in the 70's.
The great thing about the X-Wing/TIE fighter battle at the end is that it was based on old WW2 footage captured during fighter battles. This films was so ground breaking when it was released. I was 7 years old when I saw it during the 70's and it's still a huge part of my life now.
I am so here for these Star Wars reactions…May The Force With You !!
fun fact: in the original release of A New Hope they didnt have the cgi to make jabba the hutt into the species you currently see him as, so if you look up videos of the original scene (it ended up being a deleted scene until a 1997 rerelease with cgi) Jabba is played by an actual human, hence why Han Solo refers to him as a human being. For some reason they also left the line in the 2004 version which is the one you watched and is the most recent release.
also glad to see you start this series may the force be with you
I can’t wait for Empire Strikes Back
The Death star has very slow sub light drives. It can go into hyperspace, but once it's out of hyperspace it's really slow.
So glad u watched this one first keep it up ❤❤
You’re finally doing Star Wars I love it!!!
good man for doing them from the start this is my all time favourite franchise ever so i cant wait to see you react to all of them really hope you enjoy all of them
Your reactions are priceless. You can see why there are tons of fans to these movies.
watching the prequels as prequels is the intended way to watch star wars. but watching it in chronological order in terms of the story line is also very enjoyable
And fun fact the guy who plays Chewbacca is actually that tall in real life and Chewbacca’s walk is actuality unique to the actor himself as well!
This was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. You have now taken your first steps into a larger world.
Also just for note, the Death Star was charging up its shot and targeting to hit the planet, that’s why the rebels had to launch a last ditch attack (which the empire didn’t take very seriously) and thus only sent a couple dozen fighters instead of thousands
So glad you’re watching Star Wars!!! You’re in for a treat, only gets better from here! (Until late sequels in my opinion anyway) so looking forward to seeing your Star Wars journey! Favourite reaction channel
There are two ways you could watch the films after this point.
First is the original relased order:
> A New Hope (IV)
> The Empire Strikes Back (V)
> Return of the Jedi (VI)
> The Phantom Menace (I)
> Attack of the Clones (II)
> Clone Wars (2003)*
> Revenge of the Sith (III)
But there is an alternate order that some people try known as 'Machete Order' where you watch the Prequel films in-between V and VI. It ties all the films together and makes the ending of VI feel much more rewarding.
> A New Hope (IV)
> The Empire Stikes Back (V)
> The Phantom Menace (I)
> Attack of the Clones (II)
> Clone Wars (2003)*
> Revenge of the Sith (III)
>Return of the Jedi (VI)
*Clone Wars (2003) was a mini animated series that was made to bridge the gap between II and III at the time they were being made.
If you like the movies, I also recommend watching 'The Clone Wars (2008)' afterward. This is an animated show that expanded on/rectonned the 2003 mini series.
It starts with a movie, followed by 7 seasons.
fun fact, when han solo said, "jabba, you're a wonderful human being" this was actually a deleted scene that got added in later releases of new hope. in the original, jabba was originally depicted as a human. and yes it is just as cursed as it sounds
I love that you're coming at this basically knowing nothing. I remember watching Star Wars on opening night in the theater with my Dad and my brother in 1977. I was 4. My reaction when the Star Destroyer was revealed bit by bit.....it was so massive. I almost peed my pants it was so huge. Getting to watch it again for the first time through your eyes makes me feel that wonder all over again.
You came up in my feed because Star Wars. I really enjoyed your laughter, smiles of joy and your insights during your reaction. Looking forward to your further journey! Don’t let the overwhelming lore definitely coming your way and the arguing ruin your experience. Enjoy. Celebrate the Love. P.S We ALL want a lightsaber.
did NOT expect that but omg i am so here for it
yesssssssssssssss my man finaly reacted to star wars les gooo
I’m so hyped for your reactions to SW 🔥
IVE BEEN WAITING TIME FOR A STARWARS DON REACTION🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hell yeah, about time you watch Star Wars. Looking forward to more!
This is where the fun begins
His reaction vids are genuinely satisfying to watch
I’m actually really excited to see you do this I want you to come join the force join the rest of us Star Wars fans over here😂😂
I knew this would blow up. Watched on patreon a few months ago. Excited to watch more!
Aa nice you started star wars series nice nice love it.. hope you do all of them.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you're enjoying the journey so far.
YEEEEEEAAAAA FINALLY. i hope you watch the rest including all the shows its a long way there but its worth it. :)
First! Also great reaction to Star Wars my friend 😉
1. Sir. Alec Guinness/Obi-Wan didn't want the part. Being a Shakespearian actor, he thought the entire idea was silly and was beneath him, but his wife talked him into taking the part.
2. The shrug Chewie gives Luke after he scares the tiny black droid is 🤪
3. These movies were put out in a certain order because there was limited technology and Lucas used and pushed forward the images needed to make a quality product. The best way to watch the is in the order they came out. We had to wait years for the next one. There was no internet where we had access to them whenever we wanted.
4. No need to go into anything after VI. Disney took over and the quality dropped. I realize you have to.
5. The only CGI was put in for the 25th anniversary package in this film are the critters the stormtroopers were riding at the beginning of the search for the robots, a couple of the huge critters outside the pub and the scene with Jabba the Hutt. Those were put in later after CGI was available. Otherwise, everything is what we had in 1977.
6. Obi-Wan sacrificed himself after he told Vader he would be stronger than ever. He went back into the force. He knows it's Luke's job to take over.
7. The awkwardness in the detention space is because Ford didn't know his lines. It was kept in the movie anyway because it worked.
8. The next two are the best of the series. Enjoy!
Funny thing my dad actually met Alec Guinness and he was so annoyed that everyone knew him as Obi-Wan then got so happy when my dad knew him from something else
Cant wait for you to watch everything its really worth it dan
15:41 He actually didn't miss the shot from that close. In the original theatrical release Greedo didn't fire his weapon at all. George Lucas thought Han shooting first sent a bad message to his young viewing audience (although he claimed Greedo was supposed to shoot first in the original release), so in 1997 (20 years after the theatrical release) Lucas had this changed for the re-release of the film ("Special Edition"). The worst part about this is that it's so obviously a dummy of Han sitting there. It's the most widely criticized change to the original Star Wars trilogy.
I could care less if Han shot first or not tbh, the guy was clearly there to kill him and Han is badass. Don't know why people cared so much about this shot.
I'm glad you are watching in the release order. That is the right way. Some might suggest some other weird order but don't listen to them. This movie was originally called just Star Wars. It didn't have the episode number or subtitle in the opening.
True, this way you get the worst movies out of the way first.
Wrong
@@fluffernutter6633 I'm sure you are in the minority with that. :D
@@Ankka939 Probably
Its not the right way, its the most common way. When the creator says that chronological order is the Optimal way to watch it, you should consider those words to be true, coming from the creator. Prequels were made later because of technological limitations.
R2 Droids are so called astromech droids. their main purpose is the job of a mechanic and electrician and to calculate hyperspace jumps. ships have them for maintenance, hot fixes during fights and also help navigate.
I think you are doing the right way, the way my generation (the first generation) saw it. Good on you for checking it out.
It wasn't called Episode 4 until the the prequel trilogy entered production.
Quick explanation for what Han said to Jabba about being a “wonderful human being”. When the film first released in 1977, that scene wasn’t included because of time constraints, and there was no mention of Jabba at all. Then episode V mentioned him and episode VI came out and introduced Jabba as we know him, but he was a puppet. So, when A New Hope was first rereleased in 1997, the scene was reintroduced and included a really bad CGI model of the Jabba puppet masked over the human character. Since then, it’s been edited a couple more times and now we have the scene in this version, which I think is from 2011.
Ooo boy! This is gonna be fun. I watched these movies in chronological order since my kid brain didn't understand the concept of a prequel. So I can't wait to see how it goes with him watching in order of release
So glad ur reacting to my favourite movie franchise
I can’t wait to see you react to every Star Wars movie!
George Lucas the guy who made all these movies personally said u should watch them 1-6 thats why he numbered them like that after 1-3 got released. He said that the full story connects better this way for reasons i wont spoil
Doesn’t really matter. I disagree with it as so many do
He said that over 20 years after the original so does it really mean much? Most who went to see the prequels in movie theater had seen the originals. If they hadn't when Episode 1 was released they probably watched them between the prequel movies.
You are wrong on so many levels. The numbering came into affect in 1980 with the release of "Empire" and then "Star Wars" was retconned to "Episode IV - A New Hope" in 1981 after that release. The reason the PT was numbered I - III was because they were the PT, not because of better watch order. It is always better to watch for the first time in release order not numbered order... always.
@Antonio-Gransci Oh... OK, he is also the one that changed Greedo to shooting first (and missing at 4 feet). George may have created Star Wars, but he is not always right. In fact it was his friends and mostly Marcia that saved Star Wars and made it the hit it became.
By the way... you should look up in the dictionary what "fact" and "factually" actually mean, because you are using it wrong. In George's OPINION he wants it watched 1 to 6. He also never intended anything since he only intended ONE movie. He is making the rest up on the fly.
The reason George wants the viewing order to be I - VI is because he is butt hurt that many fans did not like the PT, and George has a GIANT ego. He does many things out of spite.
Lastly, I would much rather preserve the reveals of the OT than the PT. The OT being a much, much better film trilogy anyway (damn right I am an OT "fanboy" and proud of it). Also, most everyone born after me will watch them IV-V-VI-I-II-III, especially for first time viewing, as they should.
@Antonio-Gransci You probably also think the Special Editions are the correct ones too? :D
I just commented not long ago on a different video expressing how badly I wanted to see Star Wars and here it is!😊
Leia had a dozen Alderaan Royal House and Guardsmen with her on the Tantive IV, and another 100 royals and servants living with her on Coruscant. Some retired from age or trauma, some even joined the Empire and were paid handsomely. The remainder stayed loyal to the end.
The Empire knew the Princess had gone to the Yavin system, so the Rebel Alliance had to have some significant forces there. They didn't immediately know it was the fourth moon, until the Rebel fighters came at them, and didn't have a full charge for the super-laser yet (takes several days) to blow up Yavin itself.
Obi-Wan spent many years on Tatooine, binding himself to that planet, to Luke, and Anakin's lightsaber. He's less of a stranger than Luke knows.
Lets gooooo you are finally watching STAR WARS
iirc the large planet blocking the base on the moon was a gas giant, which might not be that easy to just blow up with the death star’s weaponry. it seems like it was meant for striking rocky planets
I think the laser may trigger a huge gas explosion, so let's wait rather than fire through it.
@@FluffySylveonBoiigniting a gas giant like that would either A: create a star or B: create a wave of fire sening a heat wave through space, possibly putting several nearby systems at risk.
@@FluffySylveonBoiCute profile pic, do you know the artist?
You've already had plenty of good explanations as to why the Death Star doesn't blow up the giant planet Yavin. In addition to the time it may take to detonate it and charge the explosive ability, you also need to consider the cost. Building the Death Star was ridiculously expensive. Sending enough energy to blow up a planet also costs a lot. So I think they are very precise with how and when they detonate. Then it is more economically advantageous to circle a planet and blow up its moon directly. As long as they don't get wiped out themselves first... 🙃
This is the best star wars reaction I've ever seen. He seems to know exactly what's going on despite never seeing it
lol
THESE REACTIONS ARE GONNA BE AWESOME
soooo happy u are watching these in the proper order
16:26 Originally this scene was shot with Jabba as a human. This scene did not make the theatrical release and was added with CGI 20 years later in the Special Edition.
Luke actually knew Obi-Wan from childhood. He calls him Ben because that was his pseudonym to hide from the Empire. His uncle just didn't like that he knew him and tried to keep them from interacting.
Now this is where the fun begins !
This trilogy and David Lynch's "Dune" are gonna be a lot of fun for you.
Droids don't eat or drink, why would he want them in his bar?
"... I guess it's what you're best at..."
"Bite me, you little stain, you've known me for a DAY!"
"That's like a really bad design flaw, right?"
Well....... uhhh.... there is this whole other movie......
he's like if I say "apparently" enough, they won't think I've already seen it lol
The original film released in ‘77 but over the years the film has been rereleased with new edits with new sound effects and added cgi effects. Even many of the later films have had edits done to them.
Can't wait for this journey
Nice vid. I'm 48 and have incredible vague memories of being a toddler (age 2 or maybe 3) and aware this was on in the cinema. I probably was taken to see it. By the next film three years later, I was already immersed in it - like almost everyone.
The whole kinda 'space buddhism magic' thing with the Jedis has been over-used massively nowadays but was really fresh back in those days, so when Luke uses it to try to destroy the Death Star it was nail-biting! Having said that, back then there were TONS of WW2-themed movies etc, so the Star Wars space battles felt a lot like those. (The whole trench attack at the end of this first film stole a lot of ideas/staging directly from The Damb Busters).
We were swapping star wars figures with mates, making our own battlesets, collecting the Panini sticker albums, buying the excellent 'making of books'. We'd learn the names of the artists and model makers and it felt like we were distant members of that huge family.
The fact that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were putting out SO many amazing movies in the 1970s and 1980s meant they were kinda building our reality, as kids. They gave us a lot of joy.
I love that Luke just ignites the light saber for the first time straight at Obi-Wans head while having no idea how long the blade actually is or anything.
Yavin, the big, red planet that the moon with the Rebel Base on it orbits, is a gas giant so would have a rather small core. If they blew up the core it likely wouldn't affect the moon all that much. As such, it was more prudent just to orbit Yavin and destroy the moon with the Super Laser. It's also possible that it would be difficult to target the core through all the gas which may diffuse the laser; it is light, after all, it's different to a blaster. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie and thank you for the reaction; it's always great to watch someone experience this masterpiece for the first time. I wish I could see it for the first time again. Have a good one, mate.
This, and in addition to that it actually takes a long time to charge the super laser. Most of the interior of the Death Star is a gigantic reactor/battery to produce and store the necessary energy. It takes a full 24 hours to recharge the beam when fired at planet destroying strength. Much quicker to orbit the gas giant for 30 minutes.
This movie budget was 11 million. It was given a very very low budget (originally 7m but they exceeded budget to 11m) because people didn't think it would succeed
Well this was unexpected but I’m all here for it 😊
If you watch Rouge One it will explain who Darth Vader was looking for when he examined the Rebel bodies when he borded Leah's ship.
"is he gonna eat his arm?" 😆😆😆
Oh yo ! I'll start this journey with you Don !!
As a huge Star Wars nerd, this is the correct way to start
You did right in watching 'A New Hope' first. It makes more sense when you consider that in 1977 when it was released, it was just called Star Wars, and there was no mention of Episode iV. So this is 'the first Star Wars'.
Thing is, what you had watched was the remastered version of. Tho still great, I'll always love the untouched version.
5:25 true and this was always in contention with fans. But now in a new book (in traditional Star Wars fashion to explain away every detail) they described that the officers have a pool that denotes their kills\shots ratio and ranks them accordingly. 😂😂 I love it
Looking forward to the Empire Strikes Back reaction. Totally different film. So much more emotionally invested in it you will be.
You are so hysterical 😂
Some of the graphics were added in the "special edition" re-release in the late 90s leading up to Episode 1 in 1999
the reasons the lightsabers look weird when activating is because they had to stop recording then replace the hilt props with the props that had the reflective tape on them. on a further note the reflective tape is how they made the lightsaber glows, mostly.
Lowkey this morning i was typing "don Townshend star wars reaction" and there was nothing so guess my surprise when i saw this😭
Yo star wars is so sick man
Are you planning on watching clone wars at some point ?
I was 13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre, It was ahead of its Time, The Reason it was originally called Star Wars was that George Lucas did not know if other of his series would be shown. He started with the first movie of the Middle trilogy. It was renumbered Episode iV when Episode V The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980
Keep up the great work and please make a series on star wars. and also #whereisninjago.
God bless you brother
