@@jthomas6672 But thats the problem of this trilogy it's only reactionary TFA was reaction for reception of preuqels, TLJ was reaction to reception of TFA and finally ROS was reaction to TLJ.

@@jthomas6672 You said exactly what I am thinking,"Damned if you do, damned if you don't"a.k.a, superhero movies are hated by the critics, but so are M Night Shymalan movies, the exact opposite of predictable.
There's a double meaning to "He died about the same time as your father." I mean... "You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" Look at Obi-Wan's face in that scene and tell me he didn't just die, spiritually speaking.
Wouldnt be completely surprised if Obi-Wan was under the impression Vader was actually dead too, he did leaving him cut down to a torso falling into lava whilst on fire. Hearing anything about Vader and feeling him being alive for the next 20 years he may have tried to ignore or pass off.
Owen actually thought that Anakin was dead(canon)because thats what Obi Wan told him. He always blamed Obi Wan for his death, which is why Kenobi just watched from the distance to protect Luke. Obi Wan had to have realized Vader was still alive sometime, otherwise he would have called him Anakin(he did call him that during his whole time on Mustafar, but went to calling him Vader in this one). I mean, depending, I know the twist wasn't planned in advance(just like it wasn't planned that Luke and Leia were siblings when they made out in "Empire").
@@barrylyndon5552 actually its canon that Obi-Wan learned about Anakin/Vader being still alive shortly after episode 3. He knew Anakins new name was Vader, and heard about him being the face of the empire in Mos Eisley. It sent him into a bit of a mad spiral cos he clearly felt guilt and failure at not properly killing him. It wasnt hard to put together given theres a guy in the empire with a life saving suit called Vader, the same name ur old padawan was given before u cut him up
@@phousefilms Lucas hinted at why Owen resented Obi-Wan in AOTC too he was excited to have a brother "I always wanted to have a brother" in a comic it shows how upset Owen was and he vented to Beru about wishing he can know who the great person Shmi spoke about
Funny enough, Owen wasn't lying about Anakin on a spice freighter. His personal ship during the Clone Wars really was a spice freighter, but repurposed into a fast warship
@@devannshmishra6058 I think he’s pointing out how he doesn’t really mention it too much. It’s one of the greatest cinema moments of ALL TIME. Worthy of Atleast 20
7:14 Luke: "How did my father die?" Ben: "49 times we fought that beast; your old man and me. It had a chicken head with duck feet... with a woman's face, too." Man... Bad Lip Reading has forever damaged that scene for me. Thanks, BLR! :)
It was waiting in the bushes for us.....ripped off your dad's face, he was screaming something awful. In fact, there was this huge mess, we had to change the floors. The floors? You see his blood, it drained into the boards and we had to change them, but we've all got a chicken-duck-woman thing waiting for us........(AWESOME CHORUS TIME!)
20? Nearly 30 years. And i was STUNNED learning that Episode 1 was being made. Didnt have the chanze to see it in cinema back then. Thou i did make Episode 2 count hard XD if you get out of one screening, move to the counter and say "ep 2, one ticked please" THEN you know what a good movie is XD
"Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan.... Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time." "You know him?" "No, it's just a name I haven't heard since before you were born."
when, not before. So just edit out the word. Obi-Wan was there when Padme gave birth to the twins and died from doing so. Then he talked to a fellow Jedi about the choice of secret foster parents for Leia, while Luke was placed with his step grandfather's family.
I suspect he was given the backstory that Anakin followed Obi-Wan to fight in the Clone Wars, and this resulted in his death, whether he was killed by Darth Vader or Obi-Wan.
Introduced to this movie as an adult, Vader’s voice sounded comically villainish it took all the intimidation from his character. Then he started force choking people and his intimidation was QUICKLY restored
When you said "The Real Hero" I was expecting to see the droid that blew himself up so that R2 would be picked instead of him, since he knew just how important it was that R2 was the one Luke left with. A solemn F for our fallen Hero.
As long as we're pouring one out for Skippy the Jedi Droid, let's not forget G0NK, the GNK power droid who was supposed to power the force field protecting the Death Star's exhaust port. He had a crisis of conscience and abandoned his post, allowing Luke's shot to go in.
uhm EXCUSE ME "only has 3 good movies" are you out of your mind? What about Kingsman? The Trickster on The Flash? Or his Endless amount of VA work? Firelord Ozai? Colonel Muska? Alvin the Treacherous? his countless guest appearances in various cartoons like regular show or adventure time? and for christs sake is Mark Hamill not the Joker? because for me he 100000% is!
if we just count movies though and ones where he is one of the main focuses hes not got a great record, however in the VA and cartoon stuff he kills it
You know, I've started watching the Clone Wars and they often say "I've got a bad feeling about this". And every time. EVERY TIME I say "No feelings were harm in the filming of this scene"
Aron The Terminator Don't you mean his comment shouldn't even exist? Star Wars (along with the rest in the series) are some of the greatest films ever made!
Absolute win for Solo now, because he literally went less distance in the Kessel run making it be faster. Time and space also, tend to get pretty wonky when you’re going light speed, so maybe going faster actually means you go less distance.
@Melkhiordarkblade Though Obi-wan would know the deal, he's been flying too long. Still he wouldnt bother to call him on it as he probably sensed Solo was exactly the kind of guy they were looking for.
_Absolute win for Solo now, because he literally went less distance in the Kessel run making it be faster._ What's great is that, thanks to _Solo_ BOTH interpretations of that line are true now. Han really did plot a course through the Kessel Run that covered less distance. But his course was just _over_ 13 parsecs, so he's still BS-ing when he claims he did it in "less than 12 parsecs."
I think Han was just bullshitting Luke and Obi Wan to make the falcon seem better than it actually is so they’d hire Han and Chewie for more money than they should have
I watched Star Wars for the first time this year and A New Hope was really incredible. Just with its story telling and the fact that its the text book example of a Hero’e Journey. The characters are all excellent and as a movie that’s like 40 years old it really held up from me as a new viewer. I was recognizing pop culture lines that I’d never known the source for and I new a number of the scenes just from their legacy alone.
Family Guy did it well, "you dont believe in the force do you?" "oh you mean that thing you learned about 3 hours ago and are now judging me for not believing in it?" lmao
@@No-One-of-Consequence I guess the question is then, did Obi-Wan actually own R4? Or was it basically part of a pool of droids belonging to the Council that the Jedi could "sign out" for use on missions? The only Jedi I remember as having had personal droids from the Prequel material I've seen is Anakin.
I've seen the scene analyzed relentlessly. Played over and over, slowed down, and the remark from Hamill say that he indeed just said "HEY". Not even like he was supposed to say "Leia" and accidentally said "Carrie".
Mark Hamill in an interview said that part is actually dubbed. George lucas asked him what he said when his lips moved there and Mark said he was pretty sure he said "there she is"
He does not say Carrie or Hey he says "There she" and the line was cut short, he was supposed to say "there she is" this is from an interview with Mark Hamill
20:48 That bit is easily my favorite addition put into the special editions. It's so much funnier with Han facing well over a hundred storm troopers rather than them just turning around and shooting back.
Timo B but why was there just a dead end in that hallway? But really, the new version does make a bit of sense. The stormtroopers wanted to make Han run away, since they needed them to get out alive to be tracked. Of course Han is going to run away from a whole dang hangar of soldiers
No, the new version was Lucas's way of attempting to "fix" something that didn't need fixing. I'm guessing they didn't have enough crew or couldn't hire enough extras when they shot it originally. In fact, it's still technically a "dead end". It's essentially a stormtrooper locker room. Why would that many stormtroopers be all in one place though? Yeah, that's why it doesn't make sense. And they didn't keep continuity, so you don't see that many again.
@SOFIA LEE (Student) I guess. But there's really no other way to think about it. Anakin is probably the only Jedi who owned his Droid copilot. Everyone else probably just had a Droid assigned to them by the quartermaster or whatever.
8:12 I've also always loved how you can feel Vader sigh as he turns to walk towards Motti. He doesn't march or even threateningly saunter. He's almost reluctant as if to say, "Will this little shit ever learn?"
I'm a new fan of your channel, after seeing your Rogue One episode. Such great work, an antidote to the poisonous cynicism throughout TH-cam. Please do The Magnificent Seven remake. An underrated gem. I saw it in theaters last year for James Horner's last soundtrack and loved everything about it. Especially the score, the Training Day reunion and Chris Pratt, always a win.
I always thought the line Owen delivered the line “he died around the same time your father did” was talking about him and anakin’s bond. He lost a brother and on mustafar that’s where Obi-wan and anakin died and ben and vader were born.
One of my favourite things will always be that first scene, where the Tantive IV flies over and you think "oh that's a cool spaceship I wonder how big it is." Then the Star Destroyer appears. And it just keeps going... And going... AND GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG...
@@danielkorladis7869 yup The only time Vader shows any rage was when he does his Vader slash and hits the wall (like he did against Obi-Wan in the separatist room in ROTS)
Vader was 0-2 against Obi-wan and probably lost countless times as Anakin while training. His entire life, Obi-wan was always one step ahead with the bigger picture.
The Expanded Universe already provided a brilliant resolution to why a short distance on the Kessel Run is something to brag about: in between the two planets, there is a massive black hole cluster, and it's tricky to pilot near one of those. So, making the trip in a shorter distance means flying close to the black holes, thus confirming both your skill and your ship's quality.
I always took it as hyperspace is the compression of normal space. So if the Kessel Run was 100 light years and the hyperdrive compressing it down to 12 parsecs, that is pretty impressive. But hey, if that is the official reasoning, it works.
7 ปีที่แล้ว +4
No, it was a mistake. Han wanted their business. He’s just bullshitting. Watch Alex Guiness’ reaction to that. He’s clowning on him
actually flying closer to a blackhole would be not only insanely dangerous, buuuuut, it would make the trip faster, the blackholes would create super powerful inescapable zones of destruction, and he basically flew in between the blackholes, that is insane, and more to the point he was sling shotting around them as if they were planets to sling shot around, not only insane, but likely he was running for his life from something. and yes in theory, black holes are compressions of space, but we really dont know for sure, do we, but the theory goes two ways, its compressing space, and its also possibly the bridge effect where black holes as they become dense enough to form may or may not reach out of our universe to another layer of space, perhaps even reaching towards whereever gravity is coming from, its possible black holes are energy bridges that pull energy and bring it through a tunnel into a even larger blackhole or another universe or layer of space where it is consumed by some nightmarish thing we do not have a word for, or is possibly left floating outside of a white hole which mysterious to its viewers, if thier can be anything living in such a universe with randomly appearing energy and unknown physical laws, the white hole just appears with energy flaring out of it then presumably dissapears again or returns to its normal light which might be what a blackhole would look like if it wasnt sucking all matter through, maybe its like a glowing vortex of plasma that moves so fast it disrupts realizty itself and creates time dilation and spacial compression. but really its all crazy theories so yes... the kessel run being faster and in less space and time is related to black holes. so you can say george lucas is lieing if that makes you feel better, but chances are he is really smart and knows a bit of science, especially after all the life he has lived, all the things he has done, and the companies he has run etc
This was the first film my dad saw in theaters. Ever since then, he's shared this franchise with me and my siblings. Me and my brother were born in 2000's, when the Prequels were being made. And I've been watching the newer films with my little half sister, Alice. I hope to watch these films when I'm older, and share them with my kids.
To me the best version of the 'explaining hyperspace travel to 'fix' the parsecs thing' came from the X-Wing novels where they go into a lot of detail about that sort of thing. They explain that hyperspace travel is always a straight line point A to B. You want to chart those lines close to star systems and such so you've got a place to go in an emergency but anything that makes a gravity well is gonna fuck with your navigation (Han mentions this in ANH with his 'fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova' line). Larger, faster ships have the mass and/or momentum to resist these tugs of gravity so they can fly shorter courses. In the old EU novels the 'Kessel Run' was a smuggler's route to avoid patrols that went around a cluster of black holes called The Maw. They were well charted but highly dangerous and most smugglers had ships just one side of the scrap yard so they had to be a little careful. The Falcon had its super juiced hyperdrive, a daredevil pilot, and (as we learn in Solo) a truly unique navigation computer so they shaved distance off the run, could complete it faster, and made more money and bragging rights. All that being said I also like CinemaWins's take on it that Han was testing the waters to run a game on Ben and Luke. Han's a scoundrel. He's always gonna be looking for the angle.
Peter Linsberger I can see 4 contending with it, but I don’t think 6 comes anywhere close. Empire left you feeling a slightly empty, but six was a bit predictable
Ah, this is a very common joke over at Cinemasins, but now I can make it here: "Everything great about Star Wars: Episode IV" ...Uploads entire movie...
Small correction, Obi-wan is in his late 50s at the time of A New Hope. Then again, I guess your best friend betraying you and living in the desert for about 20 years would take a toll on you. Plus Alec Guinness was only 63 at the time it was released so the age gap isn't that unbelievable.
My theory is that by Luke knowing Vader is his father, as an untrained force sensitive, he could unconsciously reach out and signal Vader or the emperor.
One of the main things that keeps Luke on the good side is his admiration for his father. When he learns his father was a Jedi Knight, this admiration is amplified. Obi-wan knows this and doesn't want to destroy that. Luke is broken upon learning his father is actually evil, and even still, he counts on the admiration of his Jedi father as the catalyst that brings Anakin back. When Anakin says "you already have, Luke" at the end, there is heavy substance to it. Luke could have just as easily and understandably let go of the feelings he had for his hero dad. I also choose to believe that Vader blocking Luke's strike on the Emperor wasn't to protect the Emperor, it was to protect Luke and keep him good in a moment of Anakin returning (hence the title of ep6) and reaching out.
I think it was Obi-Wan and/or Yoda's plan to turn Luke into a weapon to be sent against Vader and the Emperor before they knew what hit them. Luke blew it by meeting Vader before he was fully trained, and then getting emotionally attached to him. Of course Yoda was concerned that Luke wouldn't complete the training and be turned to the Dark Side or otherwise manipulated and defeated.
It's strange how every aspect of this film, every small element, no matter what comes is pieced together with different aspects to make one of the most iconic,entertaining,fun,imaginative,creative franchises ever.
While Han has, IN MY OPINION, the best lines in this film, my personal favorite line from this movie is. "Do you think a princess and a guy like me.." "No." Didn't even let him finish the question
I was very lucky to see A New Hope in the 1970’s and it was incredible. Never queued outside a cinema before. My dad fell asleep. I fell in love with Star Wars. From the music, the performances are so good. 😊
Forget it. This is my favourite Star Wars movie. You can find one that outclasses it by miles in almost every aspect, but you just can't beat A New Hope.
At 14:08 you can see Harrison Ford start to laugh as he looks away from the camera showing that was probably unscripted like the helmet line but Lucas felt like it fitted perfectly
I can't explain how happy it makes me to see and embrace the positivity you provide with this forum, so I'll sum up. The way you break down so many aspects of movie making/story telling is a marvel. (Yeah, I went there). Keep up the great work. These videos put me in a better mood. I'm now going to search if you've created a video on Battlestar Galactica. Thank you so much.
I love the context in that first Force choking scene when you realize Anakin's Clone Wars Admiral, Yularen, is watching Vader use the power of the force that he saw decades ago.
Also concerning the "Don't shoot the space pod, because of no life forms". The empire needed to confirm that the plans were safe. Just assuming that someone had stuffed the plans into an empty escape pod could lead to disaster is the plans were hidden somewhere else.
Evsbear1 Basically some people have a problem with the fact the empire didn't shoot down the pod just because there was no life forms. However the empire needed to verify that the rebels don't have the death star plans. Only way to do that is to search the entire ship and all of the escape pods which you obviously wouldn't be able to if you destroy one of them. Therefore the empire would only take the risk of destroying the escape pods if there was a life sign and therefore suspected the rebels were trying to smuggle the plans.
TheCommunistDragon Awesome. I think I'm going to start reading more of the novels. Particularly the Revenge of the Sith one because apparently it's quite good.
I remain amused by the retroactive theory about the "parsec: time or distance?" confusion - Solo *meant* distance and since a shorter distance through a sector populated by black holes winds up *meaning* shorter time, then it's still accurate.
Ty for name-dropping my family's home country of Romania! 🇷🇴 We don't get mentioned very often in videos so it's a treat when we get to hear our country's name being said or language being spoken in any form of media!
And note: There was no real intros or trailers for this movie, just word of mouth. I only saw it the first weekend because my wife just had our first child and she and her mother told me to get the hell out of the house and not come back until the evening. I remembered the movie was at the new CinemaScope theater and waited for three hours in a ticket line and then two hours in the entrance line and ended up in the center seat in the second row from the front, which is usually a bad seat due to the loudness of the sound system. Not with this movie! It was the best seat in the house and I will never forget the giant Imperial warship feeding itself onto the screen seemingly from behind me. Best movie beginning ever, ever, ever!!!
17:50 Actually Kyle Hill on the Because Science channel explained that a space station firing a giant LAZOR will need to disperse of excess heat to not boil everyone at the station alive, so thermal exhaust ports have to exist
At one point you begin to realise how CS stopped being about nitpicking on popular movies and turned into hate against, well, pretty much anything. So yeah, life is to short to delve in the cynicism.
CS was never about nitpicking. Go watch EWW Jurassic Park. They clearly weren't nitpicking (I think that video is only 6 or 7 mins long). They sin everything, even movies they really like. It's all about fun and they like to find what's wrong with movies, even the movies they love (because no movie is without sin :-P).

I know the change to "Han shoots first" was to try to make him look more "heroic", but the whole reason why Han shooting first makes sense is because of who he was at the time and only makes his development mean a lot more in the long run.
Han probably still didn't shoot in reaction to Greedo shooting, as there was pretty much no time for Han to react. So it doesn't really ruin his character.
Dude, the reason that fight is not as action packed has nothing to do with the story. It's just because Alec Guinness is an old guy and the filmmakers were not "there yet" if you get my drift. It was made in a different time. With different kind of audience.
Very fun review. Heard a fan theory once: The reason Solo just buttoned his shirt up was that Luke didn't have any dress-up clothes. He (Luke) had left Tattooine with only the clothes on his back. Han Solo just said 'kid, you go ahead and take the good clothes... I'll just button up...' Just a further of his charter arc. Never mind that both sets of clothes were Lando's...
Watching one of many amazing documentaries on Star Wars creation, I learnt that in making of a new hope Lukas has already started working the script of the next two films. Leading me to believe that he had most definitely planned out the plot twist where darth Vader reveals his true identity. So obi-wans line “he was killed by darth Vader” was not only accurate but planned.
You can't take Lucas's word on anything, because it's him just being self-aggrandizing after the fact. He got the first draft of the script of Empire from Leigh Brackett in first quarter 1978, who then died of cancer. He then came up with the idea to make Darth Vader Luke's father instead of his father's killer. A couple months later, David Prowse in an interview suggests that they are father and son, so the story won't be resolved in the next episode as father can't kill son and son can't kill father. I suspect Lucas read that article in a San Francisco paper and got pissed at Prowse, who supposedly was never told until he saw the movie. He also supposedly had Indiana Jones planned out for three films, but Spielberg was quite ready to say that wasn't the case after he found he didn't have a second story ready. That was one reason why they brought back all the unused stunts from _Raiders_ (e.g. jumping out an airplane and mine-cart chase) to use in _Temple of Doom._
Ah, Star Wars, the film that started it all. You've stood the test of time, and will continue to be remembered as one of cinema's greatest movies. And screw the haters, I'm perfectly content with the special editions.
Vader was always meant to be Luke's father, but Luke and Leia weren't twins until Return of the Jedi. It amazes me how many people get that backwards. What happened was, the first movie was made exactly as Lucas planned it except Obi Wan wasn't originally supposed to die, Lucas actually had the idea while shooting the light saber fight. Empire Strikes back also happened as Lucas had planned it except they had to introduce a new mentor to replace the one they killed, hence Yoda. However, just after Empire, Lucas' wife left him for another man and he got really bitter and cynical for a while. He decided that instead of making the several movies he'd planned, he would just combine the next two planned sequels into one and end it as a trilogy. Originally, the third movie was going to have Boba Fett as it's main villain and introduce a force sensitive girl. The plot would be about getting Han back and would've ended with the Jabba fight that happens in Return of the Jedi. The fourth movie would've revealed the new girl was Luke's twin sister. However, Lucas decided to just make one movie, to spend less time and money on it, and to put an emphasis on trying to sell toys, and that's why we got the version of Return of the Jedi we got. Don't get me wrong, I actually think the part where Luke is facing Vader as the Emperor watches is the best part of the series, but I believe the various people who worked with Lucas who said the things I just reported.
That was actually really interesting, it's amazing what can happen when filming a scene. They should bring Boba Fett back, or if not a NEW Mandalorian character. I heard that Boba Fett is getting his own Spin Off movie, hope it's true :)
"Empire Strikes back also happened as Lucas had planned it except they had to introduce a new mentor to replace the one they killed, hence Yoda." I'm not sure how accurate that is, especially since Lucas wasn't directing and in everything I've read, Empire was over budget and Lucas wasn't happy about that. That doesn't sound like a director that's got everything planned out.
Lucas didn't direct Empire, but he did write the story, executive produce, direct several special effect sequences, and in general keep a close eye on things. The director, Irvin Kershner, was a friend and former college professor of his whom he trusted to follow his vision. As for the budget issues, there were two reasons he was so angry about the movie going over budget. First, because it was the follow up to the highest grossing film of all time at that point, people assumed the budget was unlimited and charged the production extra for everything. In some cases, the production was charged double the normal rate for rentals and purchases. For this reason, Return of the Jedi was shot under the title "Blue Harvest." Second, he had produced it outside of the studio system (hence he didn't have a huge fortune to fall back on) and the bank inflicted harsh penalties over when the production went over budget in addition to threatening to pull the loan. He then was forced to approach the distributor, Fox, for additional funds and they screwed him over pretty bad because they claimed they weren't sure if the movie would make money. The head of Fox was actually so mad about the screw job he resigned. Here's a copy-paste of the wikipedia page: "The initial production budget of $18 million was 50 percent more than that of the original. After the various increases in budget, The Empire Strikes Back became one of the most expensive films of its day and after the bank threatened to pull his loan, Lucas was forced to approach 20th Century Fox. Lucas made a deal with the studio to secure the loan in exchange for paying the studio more money, but without the loss of his sequel and merchandising rights. After the film's box office success, unhappiness at the studio over the deal's generosity to Lucas caused studio president Alan Ladd, Jr. to quit."
About Han's line regarding his ship and the Kessel Run: The Kessel Run is a well known smuggler's route between Kessel and the Pyke Syndicate. Inbetween the start and finish of that route there are several checkpoints, nebulas and other things. Ships in Star Wars can (mostly) not travel in a straight line towards their destination since hyperspace doesn't let ships travel *through* other things. (see that Clone Wars episode where Anakin and Plo Koon chase Grievous' ship through a nebula without lightspeed travel and arrive at destination before him (with him in hyperspace) since he has to go around the nebula.) So, the Falcon's superior navigation systems made it possible for Solo to use a faster, more straight route. (Other ships had to do the run in e.g. 15 parsecs since they had to dodge more stuff)
Fun trivia fact: The actor who played Obi Wan hated this movie, he hated the script, thought it juvenile. However, he was the veteran actor of the cast and stuck around to support everyone even after his character was killed off in order to help most of them start their acting careers.
Sabu Uncia I think he did the sequels primarily for the money. Alec Guinness has said that the one thing he truly likes about Star Wars is how much he got paid for it. He actually enjoyed the original film when he first saw it, but over the years he grew to hate being associated with Obi-Wan Kenobi, as that role completely overshadowed the rest of his career.
My first time watching this movie will always stick out in my mind: I was six years old, all of my cousins gathered at my aunt and uncle's lake house in Indiana. We were all exhausted from being out on the water and I was sitting on my cousin Lindsay's lap due to the lack of chairs and we were all sitting around the 30 inch tv in the living room. I was in complete awe and was freaking out over the attack on the Death Star. During the space battle my amazonian cousin bounced me on her knee to make it feel more immersive and even later picked me up and played Star Wars with me when we got dragged behind the boat on tubes the next day. Best weekend for pre-pubescent me ever! In fact, that was the last summer before I hit puberty. I loved A New Hope. It remains one of my childhood favorites alongside The Mask of Zorro, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.

There's a double meaning to "He died about the same time as your father."

Wouldnt be completely surprised if Obi-Wan was under the impression Vader was actually dead too, he did leaving him cut down to a torso falling into lava whilst on fire. Hearing anything about Vader and feeling him being alive for the next 20 years he may have tried to ignore or pass off.
@@barrylyndon5552 wow that's deep
Owen actually thought that Anakin was dead(canon)because thats what Obi Wan told him. He always blamed Obi Wan for his death, which is why Kenobi just watched from the distance to protect Luke.
Obi Wan had to have realized Vader was still alive sometime, otherwise he would have called him Anakin(he did call him that during his whole time on Mustafar, but went to calling him Vader in this one). I mean, depending, I know the twist wasn't planned in advance(just like it wasn't planned that Luke and Leia were siblings when they made out in "Empire").
@@barrylyndon5552 actually its canon that Obi-Wan learned about Anakin/Vader being still alive shortly after episode 3. He knew Anakins new name was Vader, and heard about him being the face of the empire in Mos Eisley. It sent him into a bit of a mad spiral cos he clearly felt guilt and failure at not properly killing him. It wasnt hard to put together given theres a guy in the empire with a life saving suit called Vader, the same name ur old padawan was given before u cut him up
@@phousefilms Lucas hinted at why Owen resented Obi-Wan in AOTC too he was excited to have a brother "I always wanted to have a brother" in a comic it shows how upset Owen was and he vented to Beru about wishing he can know who the great person Shmi spoke about

How in the world did Alec Guinness manage to convey so perfectly with his eyes the events and trauma that even Lucas hadnt fully fleshed out yet?
I suspect he was given the backstory that Anakin followed Obi-Wan to fight in the Clone Wars, and this resulted in his death, whether he was killed by Darth Vader or Obi-Wan.
Introduced to this movie as an adult, Vader’s voice sounded comically villainish it took all the intimidation from his character.
Then he started force choking people and his intimidation was QUICKLY restored
Then he gets even more refined going into V, then even more refined in VI
He;
's one of those rare villains who genuinely means what he says and isn't bluffing.
@@thebighurt2495 Vader was never bluffing. Except for the "You underestimate my power." line from ROTS.
For me it was when he full on picks up a man and then chucks him into a wall
That’s what makes the council scene so brilliant
When you said "The Real Hero" I was expecting to see the droid that blew himself up so that R2 would be picked instead of him, since he knew just how important it was that R2 was the one Luke left with. A solemn F for our fallen Hero.
As long as we're pouring one out for Skippy the Jedi Droid, let's not forget G0NK, the GNK power droid who was supposed to power the force field protecting the Death Star's exhaust port. He had a crisis of conscience and abandoned his post, allowing Luke's shot to go in.
There was a really fun theory that r2 essentially secretly shorted the other astromech out so Luke would pick him instead

@@diamondspiderproductions4844 Well....i didn't like it. Did you?
Absolute win for Solo now, because he literally went less distance in the Kessel run making it be faster.
Time and space also, tend to get pretty wonky when you’re going light speed, so maybe going faster actually means you go less distance.
If they all travel with light speed then distance would definitely be a better measure than speed too
@Melkhiordarkblade Though Obi-wan would know the deal, he's been flying too long. Still he wouldnt bother to call him on it as he probably sensed Solo was exactly the kind of guy they were looking for.
_Absolute win for Solo now, because he literally went less distance in the Kessel run making it be faster._
What's great is that, thanks to _Solo_ BOTH interpretations of that line are true now. Han really did plot a course through the Kessel Run that covered less distance. But his course was just _over_ 13 parsecs, so he's still BS-ing when he claims he did it in "less than 12 parsecs."
A wild Filing cabinet Also if memory serves, there was a black hole involved so... physics get even wonkier when black holes get involved.
I think Han was just bullshitting Luke and Obi Wan to make the falcon seem better than it actually is so they’d hire Han and Chewie for more money than they should have
I watched Star Wars for the first time this year and A New Hope was really incredible. Just with its story telling and the fact that its the text book example of a Hero’e Journey. The characters are all excellent and as a movie that’s like 40 years old it really held up from me as a new viewer. I was recognizing pop culture lines that I’d never known the source for and I new a number of the scenes just from their legacy alone.

R2 was Anakin's co-pilot. Obi-Wan's was R4. And neither of them owned either droid. So Obi-Wan isn't *technically* lying.
From a certain point of view...
@@No-One-of-Consequence
I guess the question is then, did Obi-Wan actually own R4? Or was it basically part of a pool of droids belonging to the Council that the Jedi could "sign out" for use on missions? The only Jedi I remember as having had personal droids from the Prequel material I've seen is Anakin.
Could also be lying deliberately so as not to feed Luke too much nostalgia for the past.
r2 did become obiwans after anikins betrayal
@@Mystickrage , no, he became Bail Organa's.
I had never noticed the transition from matte painting to miniature in the trench run scene. I'm just mindblown.

Has it even been confirmed that Mark actually said “Carrie” accidentally?
I’ve always just heard “HEY!”
I've seen the scene analyzed relentlessly. Played over and over, slowed down, and the remark from Hamill say that he indeed just said "HEY". Not even like he was supposed to say "Leia" and accidentally said "Carrie".
He clearly says hey.
Mark Hamill in an interview said that part is actually dubbed. George lucas asked him what he said when his lips moved there and Mark said he was pretty sure he said "there she is"
def heard Hey as well
He does not say Carrie or Hey he says "There she" and the line was cut short, he was supposed to say "there she is" this is from an interview with Mark Hamill
20:48 That bit is easily my favorite addition put into the special editions. It's so much funnier with Han facing well over a hundred storm troopers rather than them just turning around and shooting back.
Wayne Enterprises Well you got to remember they run into a dead end in the original, what else are they suppose to do???
Timo B but why was there just a dead end in that hallway? But really, the new version does make a bit of sense. The stormtroopers wanted to make Han run away, since they needed them to get out alive to be tracked. Of course Han is going to run away from a whole dang hangar of soldiers
No, the new version was Lucas's way of attempting to "fix" something that didn't need fixing. I'm guessing they didn't have enough crew or couldn't hire enough extras when they shot it originally. In fact, it's still technically a "dead end". It's essentially a stormtrooper locker room. Why would that many stormtroopers be all in one place though? Yeah, that's why it doesn't make sense. And they didn't keep continuity, so you don't see that many again.
Obi Wan never owned R2, Anakin did, and before Ani the Naboo Gov't owned him.
Will Weichman he owned R4 and he said he NEVER owned a droid
@@jaded6530 Ah but there's the thing, Obi-Wan didn't actually own R4. They were just partners a couple times.
@SOFIA LEE (Student) I guess. But there's really no other way to think about it. Anakin is probably the only Jedi who owned his Droid copilot. Everyone else probably just had a Droid assigned to them by the quartermaster or whatever.
Leis wasn’t there (she wasn’t born yet)so she might have been confused about R2s background, or whomever told her was wrong.
R4 was officially property of the Republic tho. He was just assigned to Obi Wan
8:12 I've also always loved how you can feel Vader sigh as he turns to walk towards Motti. He doesn't march or even threateningly saunter. He's almost reluctant as if to say, "Will this little shit ever learn?"
I'm a new fan of your channel, after seeing your Rogue One episode. Such great work, an antidote to the poisonous cynicism throughout TH-cam. Please do The Magnificent Seven remake. An underrated gem. I saw it in theaters last year for James Horner's last soundtrack and loved everything about it. Especially the score, the Training Day reunion and Chris Pratt, always a win.
I loved that remake too
I always thought the line Owen delivered the line “he died around the same time your father did” was talking about him and anakin’s bond. He lost a brother and on mustafar that’s where Obi-wan and anakin died and ben and vader were born.
One of my favourite things will always be that first scene, where the Tantive IV flies over and you think "oh that's a cool spaceship I wonder how big it is."
Then the Star Destroyer appears.
And it just keeps going...
And going...
AND GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG...
If you think that's great, see the similar scene in _Spaceballs._
I heard that Vader was actually being very careful during his duel with Obi-Wan, as he had lost to him before when he in better shape.
Yeah, I like that the scene makes sense knowing that Kenobi nearly killed him the last time they fought.
@@danielkorladis7869 yup The only time Vader shows any rage was when he does his Vader slash and hits the wall (like he did against Obi-Wan in the separatist room in ROTS)
Vader was 0-2 against Obi-wan and probably lost countless times as Anakin while training. His entire life, Obi-wan was always one step ahead with the bigger picture.
@@callmeshaggy5166 cope however you want virgin
I prefer the re-imagined scene of the Obi-Wan vs. Darth Vader fight. Too bad Lucas didn't film one like that for the Special Edition.
More Wins (160) than Sins (120). That's cool.
RIP Peter Mayhew. 💔
May the Fourth Be With You, and With Us All.
Well dogs have short lives.
The Expanded Universe already provided a brilliant resolution to why a short distance on the Kessel Run is something to brag about: in between the two planets, there is a massive black hole cluster, and it's tricky to pilot near one of those. So, making the trip in a shorter distance means flying close to the black holes, thus confirming both your skill and your ship's quality.
Klaus von Zeit and that is a great and original explanation. It is a shame that eu was scrapped.
I always took it as hyperspace is the compression of normal space. So if the Kessel Run was 100 light years and the hyperdrive compressing it down to 12 parsecs, that is pretty impressive.
But hey, if that is the official reasoning, it works.
No, it was a mistake. Han wanted their business. He’s just bullshitting. Watch Alex Guiness’ reaction to that. He’s clowning on him
Wasn't that explicitly stated in one of the earlier script revisions?
actually flying closer to a blackhole would be not only insanely dangerous, buuuuut, it would make the trip faster, the blackholes would create super powerful inescapable zones of destruction, and he basically flew in between the blackholes, that is insane, and more to the point he was sling shotting around them as if they were planets to sling shot around, not only insane, but likely he was running for his life from something.
and yes in theory, black holes are compressions of space, but we really dont know for sure, do we, but the theory goes two ways, its compressing space, and its also possibly the bridge effect where black holes as they become dense enough to form may or may not reach out of our universe to another layer of space, perhaps even reaching towards whereever gravity is coming from, its possible black holes are energy bridges that pull energy and bring it through a tunnel into a even larger blackhole or another universe or layer of space where it is consumed by some nightmarish thing we do not have a word for, or is possibly left floating outside of a white hole which mysterious to its viewers, if thier can be anything living in such a universe with randomly appearing energy and unknown physical laws, the white hole just appears with energy flaring out of it then presumably dissapears again or returns to its normal light which might be what a blackhole would look like if it wasnt sucking all matter through, maybe its like a glowing vortex of plasma that moves so fast it disrupts realizty itself and creates time dilation and spacial compression.
but really its all crazy theories
so yes... the kessel run being faster and in less space and time is related to black holes.
so you can say george lucas is lieing if that makes you feel better, but chances are he is really smart and knows a bit of science, especially after all the life he has lived, all the things he has done, and the companies he has run etc
The effects in this movie were revolutionary for 1977. They may not look the best now; but their respectable, which is amazing in itself
This was the first film my dad saw in theaters. Ever since then, he's shared this franchise with me and my siblings. Me and my brother were born in 2000's, when the Prequels were being made. And I've been watching the newer films with my little half sister, Alice. I hope to watch these films when I'm older, and share them with my kids.
Half sister? Was she cut In half like Maul?!?!?!
To me the best version of the 'explaining hyperspace travel to 'fix' the parsecs thing' came from the X-Wing novels where they go into a lot of detail about that sort of thing. They explain that hyperspace travel is always a straight line point A to B. You want to chart those lines close to star systems and such so you've got a place to go in an emergency but anything that makes a gravity well is gonna fuck with your navigation (Han mentions this in ANH with his 'fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova' line). Larger, faster ships have the mass and/or momentum to resist these tugs of gravity so they can fly shorter courses.
In the old EU novels the 'Kessel Run' was a smuggler's route to avoid patrols that went around a cluster of black holes called The Maw. They were well charted but highly dangerous and most smugglers had ships just one side of the scrap yard so they had to be a little careful. The Falcon had its super juiced hyperdrive, a daredevil pilot, and (as we learn in Solo) a truly unique navigation computer so they shaved distance off the run, could complete it faster, and made more money and bragging rights.
All that being said I also like CinemaWins's take on it that Han was testing the waters to run a game on Ben and Luke. Han's a scoundrel. He's always gonna be looking for the angle.
and all of this just because Lucas had no idea what this term means but it sounded space-y...
Thanks for typing all that out so I didn't have to
I always thought Luke was saying "HEY!!". He was saying "Carrie"?
You are correct, he wasn't saying "Carrie". Mark Hamill himself debunked this rumour a few years ago.

May the Force be with thee.
Small correction, Obi-wan is in his late 50s at the time of A New Hope. Then again, I guess your best friend betraying you and living in the desert for about 20 years would take a toll on you. Plus Alec Guinness was only 63 at the time it was released so the age gap isn't that unbelievable.
Ardetron3000 Tatooine
yep obi-wan was 57 according to wookiepedia.
My theory is that by Luke knowing Vader is his father, as an untrained force sensitive, he could unconsciously reach out and signal Vader or the emperor.
That’s the best thing about the Force as a plot device, you can justify almost anything because the limits are kept vague.
@@theonegoldengryphon Yep, the first thing they are taught is that everything is from "a certain point of view".
One of the main things that keeps Luke on the good side is his admiration for his father. When he learns his father was a Jedi Knight, this admiration is amplified. Obi-wan knows this and doesn't want to destroy that. Luke is broken upon learning his father is actually evil, and even still, he counts on the admiration of his Jedi father as the catalyst that brings Anakin back.
When Anakin says "you already have, Luke" at the end, there is heavy substance to it. Luke could have just as easily and understandably let go of the feelings he had for his hero dad.
I also choose to believe that Vader blocking Luke's strike on the Emperor wasn't to protect the Emperor, it was to protect Luke and keep him good in a moment of Anakin returning (hence the title of ep6) and reaching out.
I think it was Obi-Wan and/or Yoda's plan to turn Luke into a weapon to be sent against Vader and the Emperor before they knew what hit them. Luke blew it by meeting Vader before he was fully trained, and then getting emotionally attached to him. Of course Yoda was concerned that Luke wouldn't complete the training and be turned to the Dark Side or otherwise manipulated and defeated.
Oh My GOD! Do Edward Scissorhands! I love that movie and I'd love to hear what a ray of literally sunshine like yourself would think of it!

It's strange how every aspect of this film, every small element, no matter what comes is pieced together with different aspects to make one of the most iconic,entertaining,fun,imaginative,creative franchises ever.
While Han has, IN MY OPINION, the best lines in this film, my personal favorite line from this movie is. "Do you think a princess and a guy like me.." "No." Didn't even let him finish the question
I was very lucky to see A New Hope in the 1970’s and it was incredible. Never queued outside a cinema before. My dad fell asleep. I fell in love with Star Wars. From the music, the performances are so good. 😊

You forgot a win for the Throne Room Theme and the Binary Sunset Theme by John WIlliams it's definitely more than worth it absolutely positively
At 14:08 you can see Harrison Ford start to laugh as he looks away from the camera showing that was probably unscripted like the helmet line but Lucas felt like it fitted perfectly
I can't explain how happy it makes me to see and embrace the positivity you provide with this forum, so I'll sum up. The way you break down so many aspects of movie making/story telling is a marvel. (Yeah, I went there). Keep up the great work. These videos put me in a better mood. I'm now going to search if you've created a video on Battlestar Galactica. Thank you so much.
Ikr the positivity in this channelakes it better than cinemasins
I love the context in that first Force choking scene when you realize Anakin's Clone Wars Admiral, Yularen, is watching Vader use the power of the force that he saw decades ago.
Also concerning the "Don't shoot the space pod, because of no life forms". The empire needed to confirm that the plans were safe. Just assuming that someone had stuffed the plans into an empty escape pod could lead to disaster is the plans were hidden somewhere else.
that argument makes no sense
Evsbear1 Basically some people have a problem with the fact the empire didn't shoot down the pod just because there was no life forms. However the empire needed to verify that the rebels don't have the death star plans. Only way to do that is to search the entire ship and all of the escape pods which you obviously wouldn't be able to if you destroy one of them. Therefore the empire would only take the risk of destroying the escape pods if there was a life sign and therefore suspected the rebels were trying to smuggle the plans.
FailoReachForge that's actually pretty smart. I never thought about it like that
FailoReachForge they explained this in the book from a certain point of view.
TheCommunistDragon Awesome. I think I'm going to start reading more of the novels. Particularly the Revenge of the Sith one because apparently it's quite good.
I remain amused by the retroactive theory about the "parsec: time or distance?" confusion - Solo *meant* distance and since a shorter distance through a sector populated by black holes winds up *meaning* shorter time, then it's still accurate.

And note: There was no real intros or trailers for this movie, just word of mouth.

I remembered the movie was at the new CinemaScope theater and waited for three hours in a ticket line and then two hours in the entrance line and ended up in the center seat in the second row from the front, which is usually a bad seat due to the loudness of the sound system. Not with this movie! It was the best seat in the house and I will never forget the giant Imperial warship feeding itself onto the screen seemingly from behind me. Best movie beginning ever, ever, ever!!!
Perhaps in the not too distant future, we could get a "Everything GREAT About Spaceballs" ...? Pretty Please :D

17:50 Actually Kyle Hill on the Because Science channel explained that a space station firing a giant LAZOR will need to disperse of excess heat to not boil everyone at the station alive, so thermal exhaust ports have to exist
CinemaWins: we probably will never have hd rips of these movies.
Disney +: eat your heart out
I think he was referring to the original first versions of the film
He definitely meant the original theatrical cuts
We might not have HDs of the original theatrical cuts , but fanmade definition enhancements and Despecialized editions are close.

@@AmaranthOriginal that made me chuckle
Good one
Ok, it's official. I'm done with Cinemasins and an sticking to this. Thanks for convincing me.
Gage Peruti I did the same thing!
CS is so negative. Can't take it myself
At one point you begin to realise how CS stopped being about nitpicking on popular movies and turned into hate against, well, pretty much anything. So yeah, life is to short to delve in the cynicism.
Meh. I watch them both. They both have a place. Some people love to nitpick, others love to praise, and still others love to do both.
CS was never about nitpicking. Go watch EWW Jurassic Park. They clearly weren't nitpicking (I think that video is only 6 or 7 mins long). They sin everything, even movies they really like. It's all about fun and they like to find what's wrong with movies, even the movies they love (because no movie is without sin :-P).
7:14
Ok, that can't be a coincidence
Luke says: "how did my father die?" just as the Win Counter displays 49 wins
It was waitin' in the bushes for us.
I fail to see the connection.
@@reubenmanzo2054 you need to watch Rick and Morty to understand it
din't get it.
I’ve literally just started watching Star Wars for the first time (as a 28 year old) and I had *no idea* you’d made videos on all the films! I can’t wait to watch all of these alongside them
As always, wonderful video CinemaWins!

I don't cringe often, I've been around the internet more than most.
But I cringed.
"his reward is being allowed to live" i literally laughed out loud on the bus
I know the change to "Han shoots first" was to try to make him look more "heroic", but the whole reason why Han shooting first makes sense is because of who he was at the time and only makes his development mean a lot more in the long run.
Han probably still didn't shoot in reaction to Greedo shooting, as there was pretty much no time for Han to react. So it doesn't really ruin his character.
Dude, the reason that fight is not as action packed has nothing to do with the story. It's just because Alec Guinness is an old guy and the filmmakers were not "there yet" if you get my drift. It was made in a different time. With different kind of audience.
Of course he realizes this! He's just describing a way the story COULD justify it.
Very fun review. Heard a fan theory once: The reason Solo just buttoned his shirt up was that Luke didn't have any dress-up clothes. He (Luke) had left Tattooine with only the clothes on his back. Han Solo just said 'kid, you go ahead and take the good clothes... I'll just button up...' Just a further of his charter arc. Never mind that both sets of clothes were Lando's...
Watching one of many amazing documentaries on Star Wars creation, I learnt that in making of a new hope Lukas has already started working the script of the next two films. Leading me to believe that he had most definitely planned out the plot twist where darth Vader reveals his true identity. So obi-wans line “he was killed by darth Vader” was not only accurate but planned.
You can't take Lucas's word on anything, because it's him just being self-aggrandizing after the fact. He got the first draft of the script of Empire from Leigh Brackett in first quarter 1978, who then died of cancer. He then came up with the idea to make Darth Vader Luke's father instead of his father's killer. A couple months later, David Prowse in an interview suggests that they are father and son, so the story won't be resolved in the next episode as father can't kill son and son can't kill father. I suspect Lucas read that article in a San Francisco paper and got pissed at Prowse, who supposedly was never told until he saw the movie.
He also supposedly had Indiana Jones planned out for three films, but Spielberg was quite ready to say that wasn't the case after he found he didn't have a second story ready. That was one reason why they brought back all the unused stunts from _Raiders_ (e.g. jumping out an airplane and mine-cart chase) to use in _Temple of Doom._
“Everything great about Star Wars episode IV: a new hope”
You should just show the entire movie...
The Original Trilogy (Episode 4 , Episode 5 , Episode 6) Is The Best Star Wars Movie
@Parvika Singh the sequels can go into the recycle bin
@Parvika Singh also How Can A New Hope Lost To Annie Hall In Best Pitcure ?
@@SwagSwagSenate it’s funny because the more you watch it, it seems like the sequels can out of the recycle bin. They copy pasted a lot for no reason
@Parvika Singh sequels? You mean the Disney Spinoff Trilogy?
Tell uncle Owen not to tell you that your farther is Darth Vader...
Aunt Beru, when are you going to let me join the rebellion like my friends
RedRam Ipsen And don't tell Uncle Owen that Owen is my name too.
Legit quoted this today because my mate just kept going to me "Luke! Luuuke! Luuuuke!"
To be fair he probably didn't know. Other than a handful of Jedi being hunted to extinction nobody would have known that Vader was once Anakin
@@kevinslater4126 Clearly you don't know this is a Family Guy reference. XD
Ah, Star Wars, the film that started it all. You've stood the test of time, and will continue to be remembered as one of cinema's greatest movies. And screw the haters, I'm perfectly content with the special editions.
7:44 I just realized civil war made a bit of a call back to this scene. “I can’t go to Berlin I got...homework...”
2:10 - "I almost had 'em. I was this close. You should have seen me in that hallway."
LOL XD
Also, that's my favourite scene from Rogue One.
DUUuuUUDDE! That is a tonic to the negativity of the Internet! Nice job reminding me of what I liked about Star Wars in the first place.
Derek Logan should have competition between Cinemasins and Cinemawins for the ultimate movie sin vs win counter
Vader was always meant to be Luke's father, but Luke and Leia weren't twins until Return of the Jedi. It amazes me how many people get that backwards. What happened was, the first movie was made exactly as Lucas planned it except Obi Wan wasn't originally supposed to die, Lucas actually had the idea while shooting the light saber fight. Empire Strikes back also happened as Lucas had planned it except they had to introduce a new mentor to replace the one they killed, hence Yoda. However, just after Empire, Lucas' wife left him for another man and he got really bitter and cynical for a while. He decided that instead of making the several movies he'd planned, he would just combine the next two planned sequels into one and end it as a trilogy. Originally, the third movie was going to have Boba Fett as it's main villain and introduce a force sensitive girl. The plot would be about getting Han back and would've ended with the Jabba fight that happens in Return of the Jedi. The fourth movie would've revealed the new girl was Luke's twin sister. However, Lucas decided to just make one movie, to spend less time and money on it, and to put an emphasis on trying to sell toys, and that's why we got the version of Return of the Jedi we got. Don't get me wrong, I actually think the part where Luke is facing Vader as the Emperor watches is the best part of the series, but I believe the various people who worked with Lucas who said the things I just reported.
That was actually really interesting, it's amazing what can happen when filming a scene. They should bring Boba Fett back, or if not a NEW Mandalorian character. I heard that Boba Fett is getting his own Spin Off movie, hope it's true :)
"Empire Strikes back also happened as Lucas had planned it except they had to introduce a new mentor to replace the one they killed, hence Yoda."
I'm not sure how accurate that is, especially since Lucas wasn't directing and in everything I've read, Empire was over budget and Lucas wasn't happy about that. That doesn't sound like a director that's got everything planned out.
Lucas didn't direct Empire, but he did write the story, executive produce, direct several special effect sequences, and in general keep a close eye on things. The director, Irvin Kershner, was a friend and former college professor of his whom he trusted to follow his vision.
As for the budget issues, there were two reasons he was so angry about the movie going over budget. First, because it was the follow up to the highest grossing film of all time at that point, people assumed the budget was unlimited and charged the production extra for everything. In some cases, the production was charged double the normal rate for rentals and purchases. For this reason, Return of the Jedi was shot under the title "Blue Harvest." Second, he had produced it outside of the studio system (hence he didn't have a huge fortune to fall back on) and the bank inflicted harsh penalties over when the production went over budget in addition to threatening to pull the loan. He then was forced to approach the distributor, Fox, for additional funds and they screwed him over pretty bad because they claimed they weren't sure if the movie would make money. The head of Fox was actually so mad about the screw job he resigned. Here's a copy-paste of the wikipedia page:
"The initial production budget of $18 million was 50 percent more than that of the original. After the various increases in budget, The Empire Strikes Back became one of the most expensive films of its day and after the bank threatened to pull his loan, Lucas was forced to approach 20th Century Fox. Lucas made a deal with the studio to secure the loan in exchange for paying the studio more money, but without the loss of his sequel and merchandising rights. After the film's box office success, unhappiness at the studio over the deal's generosity to Lucas caused studio president Alan Ladd, Jr. to quit."
I can say I am a youngling, and I can say that the original Star Wars trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies and movies of all time.

About Han's line regarding his ship and the Kessel Run:
The Kessel Run is a well known smuggler's route between Kessel and the Pyke Syndicate. Inbetween the start and finish of that route there are several checkpoints, nebulas and other things. Ships in Star Wars can (mostly) not travel in a straight line towards their destination since hyperspace doesn't let ships travel *through* other things. (see that Clone Wars episode where Anakin and Plo Koon chase Grievous' ship through a nebula without lightspeed travel and arrive at destination before him (with him in hyperspace) since he has to go around the nebula.)
So, the Falcon's superior navigation systems made it possible for Solo to use a faster, more straight route. (Other ships had to do the run in e.g. 15 parsecs since they had to dodge more stuff)
Fun trivia fact: The actor who played Obi Wan hated this movie, he hated the script, thought it juvenile. However, he was the veteran actor of the cast and stuck around to support everyone even after his character was killed off in order to help most of them start their acting careers.
Sabu Uncia I think he did the sequels primarily for the money. Alec Guinness has said that the one thing he truly likes about Star Wars is how much he got paid for it. He actually enjoyed the original film when he first saw it, but over the years he grew to hate being associated with Obi-Wan Kenobi, as that role completely overshadowed the rest of his career.
My first time watching this movie will always stick out in my mind: I was six years old, all of my cousins gathered at my aunt and uncle's lake house in Indiana. We were all exhausted from being out on the water and I was sitting on my cousin Lindsay's lap due to the lack of chairs and we were all sitting around the 30 inch tv in the living room. I was in complete awe and was freaking out over the attack on the Death Star. During the space battle my amazonian cousin bounced me on her knee to make it feel more immersive and even later picked me up and played Star Wars with me when we got dragged behind the boat on tubes the next day. Best weekend for pre-pubescent me ever! In fact, that was the last summer before I hit puberty.
I loved A New Hope. It remains one of my childhood favorites alongside The Mask of Zorro, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
