Long story short George Lucas eventually realized he was writing the middle of a story. A new hope was originally just named "Star Wars" until it blew up. So the og trilogy became the story of Luke. The prequel is the story of Anakin. Lucas did have an idea for the sequel trilogy but it was discarded when Disney bought the rights. The sequel trilogy by disney is now the story of Rey. The shortest way to describe the sequel trilogy by Disney is they had no big story outline for some reason and they brought in different directors with wildly different ideas and goals which created a tonally inconsistent story with a confusing and messy plot. I tried to keep this shortish and spoiler free.
@@ataridc From what I heard he regularly visited the sets, gave advices and answered questions the directors had. Kershner was obviously more experienced and was one of Lucas' mentor but he always respected George's vision and wanted to do it justice. I think Marquand tried to make some changes by his own liking which Lucas didn't appreciate (but don't quote me on that) so he spent more time looking over Marquand's shoulders. During the Emperor's throne room scenes he was there the whole time, if I remember correctly.
I was 9 when Star Wars came out, and believe me, it was life altering. The visuals, sound were like nothing ever done before. There's an episode of that 70s show where they show Kelsos face as he watches Star Wars and they definitely captured the emotion and astonishment on his face. That was what it was like.
Fun fact... Frank Oz who voiced Yoda also voiced many Muppet characters including Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, and Cookie Monster, Bert and Grover on Sesame Street.
I was 13 years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre. I was 16 years old in 1980 when i saw Episode V The Empire Strikes Back in the Movie theatre. The Special effects were ahead of its time. The audience was shocked and Gasped when Darth Vader told Luke who he was. The scene where Han Solo tells Princess Leia I know after she tells him she Loves him was improvised. Originally, he was supposed to say he loved her back, Harrison Ford said take after take he said I love you, but it didn't work. One take he goes I know and said Han Solo would say that. He told the Producer and George Lucas, and they agreed to keep the I Know. Abby Jane originally Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope was just called Star Wars. George Lucas did not know if he would be able to make more Star Wars Movies. When Episode V The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980 then they had to add Episode IV to the first movie. George Lucas started with the first Movie of his second Trilogy. That is why He released it in the order of IV V and VI. then the Prequels Episodes I and II and III.
Fun fact of why Luke was attacked at the beginning of the movie... Mark Hamill had a car accident before they started filming this movie, so he had surgery on his face, and since he didn't look the same as A New Hope, they added that first scene in which his face got ripped off by the Wampa (Yeti as you call him).
no that's no true, the scrip had that in it from the beginning, they even had the wampas attack the base at one point, no this is something some clueless fan said and others repeated
1. Han to Chewy, "Laugh it ups fuzzball" 2. The scene in the cave is Luke seeing into his future if he were to turn to the dark side. 3. Do them in the original release. They were put that way for a reason. Jumping ahead ruins it for you and us. 4. IRL Ford and Fisher were having an affair. She was only 19 and he was much older and married. She put it in her biography before she died. She got an ok from him to put it in there. 5. Hans', "I know" was ad lib because Ford thought it was what Solo would say, and required a new script to be written in the next movie. 6. Ford wanted Solo to die. 7. You will learn more about the emperor and Darth Vader in episodes I, II and III. 8. The next one wraps everything up and IMVHO is the best of the original VI Lucas episodes.
Fun fact Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker is also a legendary voice actor. He's the greatest Joker of all time. I highly recommend Batman: The Animated Series. It's a beautifully written masterpiece and it's the greatest adaptation of Batman ever. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are the definitive Batman and Joker. They are the best to ever do it.
I am so glad I grew up in a time when Vader being Luke's father was not common knowledge and part of pop culture. This was a huge punch!!!! I work and VFX and appreciate what you said
The reason for the series starting with Episode 4, derives from George Lucas’ original vision of recreating the experience he had as a child in watching the old adventure serials in the 1940s and 50s. Short (30 minute) episodic films like starring characters like Flash Gordon, The Phantom, The Shadow and many others were shown weekly as Saturday matinees at local movie theaters. They were usually 12 part stories with each chapter ending in a cliff hanger, with the apparent death of the hero. Lucas sought to recreate the feeling of joining the series in the middle of the tale. Lucas never expected any remotely like the reaction the film got and didn’t really think there would be more than the 1st film.
I was 13 when a new hope came out. But just knew that is Star Wars cause that was the only Star Wars movie. And at the time the movies were not numbered. After the first three original films, it took a long time for the first prequel to come out. Once they came out, all of the movies were numbered. Jar Jar Binks doesn’t happen until the prequels. Knowing Darth Vader is Anakin was not known until the prequels either. Star wars, adjacent movies to watch would be the Mandalorian and Ashoka and the clone wars animated. All of these are series and very interesting.
Rewatches are OK, too. Perhaps bring in a family member, or friend who hasn't seen the film and almost react to THEM reacting. Plus, you get to feel how we feel when someone sees them for the first time. It's the closest thing to having it feel new to us, again. 11:22 Now we know you are for real. ✊
No, Luke was in his late teens in Ep IV. In ESB, he's got to be early twenties. "Kid" is used affectionately by Han after a while; although he started using it because to Han, who is obviously older, he was a "kid.
It's funny how some early misquotes in early pop culture created the Mandela effect to believe that Vader said "Luke, I am your father" when he actually said "No, I am your father".
8:29 Practical effects ARE Special Effects. I think you meant Visual Effects or VFX, which usually refers to digital CGI. It's easy to mix the two up, as they are named very similarly. Edit: oops just realized someone else said the exact same thing
The Hobbit animated movie from 1977 is a much shorter and more faithful adaptation of the novel than the live-action movies. I'd recommend watching that instead of The Hobbit trilogy.
I’m a Hebrew Israelite luke skywalker is my favorite Jedi ever he’s dope af ✌🏽💯 I study the force in real life it’s real May the the force be with you 🌗🌌🌎
a lot of you younglings (Obi-Wan quote) dont get it that when powerful jedi die they become one with the force and become a ghost its not a dream, there are also young people that say the lightsaber sword fights in episode IV are so slow, what did you expect Darth Vader and Obi-Wan are old, thats why the fights are so much faster in the PREQUELS, because they are YOUNGER something to let sink in 😁
I was 6 years old in 77 when I saw New Hope in the theater and since then I've seen every Star Wars movie in the theater even the anime clone Wars movie in the theater if you're watching Star Wars I will watch your reaction
It's always great to see people reacting to this amazing saga. One tip, though; you'd probably get a lot more viewers with these if you didn't edit down to 20 minutes of movie - I've seen lots of reactors who've kept almost an hour (sometimes more) of film in.
@@AbbyJaneReacts You gotta figure out how they do that stuff that fools the censor. They use like visual filters like a watermark or other distortions. But there are ways.
@@AbbyJaneReacts Some filter it. Can tell cause the voices are off. I think they might put some kind of noise in at other times. Or they play sections without the audio and leave the subtitles up.
22:37 George Lucas Star Wars creator said that the main fight in this movie was within the character of Vader, since there was small part of Anakin still alive within the depths of Vader brought about by the realisation that he had children, and Vader’s objective to dominate and sever all connections with his old life as Skywalker!!! so the fight at the end of the movie was actually Luke and Anakin vs Vader!! because as you said “there’s no way Luke should’ve or could’ve put up that much of a fight against fully fledged Sith Lord, but it was Anakin swaying the odds inside Vader helping him, so it was fight of emotional depth
I would recommend aiming for 45 minute reactions. With the same amount of cuts. Even if you don't react for several seconds, the scene needs to breathe before the next cut. This felt like a speedrun of a reaction.
Fun reaction ❤ get ready for a myriad of thoughts and opinions as the fandom is a bit overzealous... IMHO just watch them and form your own opinion about them. This is where the fun begins...
20:39 torture in mistreatment would send ripples through the force and antagonising Luke, It’s an old method Vader used during the end of the clone wars to bait the Jedi out of hiding so he could destroy or kill them
In some cases CGI is cheaper and requires less skill. But you are correct, practical effects almost always look better. For example the way they got the hovering effect for Luke’s speeder was by covering the wheels with a mirror and smearing it with Vaseline!
I'm sure your SW:ANH reaction wasn't that bad! We all know, every channel starts out kind of green, awkward, cringey, etc, but it's fun to see how the improvements evolve. Plus it would be satisfying for the completionists out there who would appreciate the complete first trilogy, even if the reaction is "not so good" (again, I'm sure it's fine). :-) Just a humble suggestion. :-) You could compile all 3 reactions into one long extended reaction video - I've seen another channel do that, and it's rather clever and convenient.
I'm sure you're speaking of CGI effects, specifically....as practical effects ARE still special effects. And I agree - practical effects done well hold up better than CGI that's always advancing and rendering (ha!) older efforts more dated by comparison.
Regarding Luke putting up a better-than-expected fight against Vader: I feel like when you watch their fight again, it's clear Vader is toying with him most of the time. It's only in round three, at the end, where he takes the gloves off and starts trying to beat Luke in earnest. And when Luke manages to land that glancing blow off the shoulder, Vader ends the fight two swings later with the hand being chopped off.
Yeah, Vader was toying with Luke, testing his strength, right until Luke actually hurt him. Then he locked in for 3 seconds and got rid of Luke's hand lol.
Nobody says “Luke I am your father.” Nobody! I hate hearing that misquote perpetuated. And why keep worrying about what you know, or don’t know, or think you know. Watch the movie, let it unfold. Learn what you learn when you see it on screen. 🙄
Then that's not a REACTION video, ugh, let her do the video THE WAY SHE DOES IT, not dictate ... HOW about that :p and I remember "Luke, I am your Father" but the Hydro change things in 2012
My first time watching your reaction channel, i thought it was great! Curious if you British, Australian, New Zealander? A thought.. Halloween coming up. "The Crow" is a cult classic from 90s.. Bruce Lee's son Brandon is the star and was killed during filming. Hollywood just released remake, but im sure its not the orginial quality!
It you give credit in the video description you can use regular dialog and sound. Look at some other reactors I watched someone who put the production companies and was allowed to use the original sound.
@@DavidSmith-mt7tb yes 😂 it’s been like this for a year, since I took it to the computer shop to get the storage upgraded, don’t know what the guy did haha
Abby, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. It is your destiny..
Hi Abby just seen your reaction and it was a lot of fun just wish it was a longer reaction, anyway I saw the OG trilogy at the cinema as a kid and this is my favourite film in the Star Wars franchise, but of the Disney stuff I only really enjoyed Rogue One and the Andor series, talking of Andor that was filmed entirely on locations in England and Scotland, with full size practical sets built, there was very little CGI effects used during the making of it, for me it gave the show that lived in feeling something that I don't get with the volume as Disney calls it, that's the multiple T.V screens you were talking about, anyway my other favourite franchise is the LOTR I don't even mind the Hobbit films either, Also did I hear you say you enjoy horror films, if so would love to see you react to if you haven't already seen them, the films are, American Werewolf in London 1981, The Thing 1982, Hellraiser 1987, A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984, The Lost Boys 1987, there are many more and of course it's your channel so react to what you like, but if you ever decide to add horror films to your reactions these are a good place to start.
@@MarkLloyd72 thank you! And after I watch the films I might watch some of the series, I’ve heard good things about Andor! And yes for October I’d like to react to some horror films, and I have been wanting to watch some of the ones you’ve mentioned :)
@@AbbyJaneReacts No worries and some of the T.V shows are better than others same with the films but you should watch them and decide for yourself, and October will be a lot of fun on here with the horror reactions, If you want anymore recommendations happy to mention some others that you may like.
@@MarkLloyd72 yeah if you have any do recommend! The only issue is where I live a lot of horror films aren’t available on any streaming platforms but hopefully some of them will be!
@@AbbyJaneReacts Okay will do also have some different Sci-Fi and fantasy films that you may like, along with action films as well, also you are from the UK like me so surely you have access to the same streaming platforms as me, anyway looking forward to your next Star Wars reaction.
If you go on reacting to all of the first six films at the end you should release the new hope footage it would be interesting to view tbf if you don't want to it's your decision and that's fine
Quick clarification on in the cave with Luke and why he failed: he failed simply because he brought the weapon with him. Yoda was trying to teach him the force was to defend himself, but to never attack, because it can lead to aggression, and aggression can lead to the dark path of the dark side and that when he found himself in the Vader face, was that if he had gone to face Vader as he did, it was a warning his actions were taking him down a similar path of Anakin.
@@AbbyJaneReacts oh okay, it’s probably a bit far ahead for you to be considering but do you know if you’ll get into the clone wars series? I used to think anything animated was pretty much just for kids but the series as a whole might be better than any single Star Wars movie.
Just came across your reaction and subscribed. Looking forward to your journey and please don't let people tell you not to watch certain trilogies. Watch all and decide for yourself. Great reaction, wish it were longer but do it however you need to do it to post them. May the Force be with you young Padawan :)
Harry Potter next if you haven’t seen it . The most popular franchise ever according to gross profit and is amazing ….It is also extremely popular for reactions.
@@AbbyJaneReacts Abby Jane, no one knows for sure what makes one reactor channel popular and another one not. One thing you can control, and be distinguished for, is the choice of films to watch. _The Fisher King_ (1991) and _The Wicker Man_ (1973) would indeed be rare and good choices. Also worthy, I think, would be _Theatre of Blood_ (1973), but only if you have any taste for Shakespeare plays, since several are referenced. (One movie to help grow such a taste would be the delicious _Much Ado About Nothing_ (1993)). Best of luck with the channel!
Great to see a new reactor who isn't completely over the top. I am sure you'll very quickly have more subscribers than me (and quite rightly too!). If sci-fi/fantasy are your things you have years of old movies to catch up on and I'm looking forward to your future content. I am now subscribed. :)
To put your mind at ease, you are watching them in a correct order. If you're still interested after Episode 6, I highly recommend starting Episodes 1-3 after 👌
The order of release is 4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9 but 8 and 9 are just awful episode 7 is just bearable, out of all of them none beat the original trilogy of episodes 4,5&6
@@AbbyJaneReacts My mistake, sorry, I missed it because I posted before getting far in the video. How do you like the series as a whole now? If anything, I definitely say the Disney stuff just needs to be excluded.
Be careful with the Star Wars fandom. Some people are pretty toxic. It is one of the largest fandoms but all of these properties like Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings and other fantasy/Sci Fi have fan groups that think they know what is good and what is bad as far as media. They can be a bit rabid in if you like something different from them. We tend to like the media we came in on. That is why some people like different parts of Star Wars over others. Nothing can recreate that initial experience so everything else is horrible and that is not an honest or fair take. Watch and like what you want. I would not pay attention to online groups or people who call themselves "experts" or "real fans". Star Wars is meant for kids that is what Lucas wanted. Just a fun ride for young people to enjoy and older people to remember what it was like to be young.
Yeah I had already heard about the Star Wars fandom and the toxicity with some of the fans, but I’m looking forward to watching all the movies and seeing how I feel about them :)
...I know you are new to this and I am just trying to help here with some opinions...I am sure others will share some of my opinions as well...so I have two points: first please focus more and if you are going to be talking, do it when there is no dialogue going on in the movie...most people will naturally miss a lot of info while they talk even though they won't realize it while they are doing it but to a viewer like me who has seen the movie over and over, we know where the important stuff are and it can be very frustrating to the fan like me to see that happening...second, I have seen literally hundreds of reactions and from what I see, no good reactions are ever under 30 minutes long....so please try to make them at least 35 minutes if you can....making the reaction too short just seem to me like the person does not care enough about the reactions therefor she rushed right through it...most of the time when I see a reaction under 30 minutes I would never even bother to click on it because I just feel like the reactor probably didn't care much for the film or feel any passion for it so I don't care either...I am sure that is not what your intention was but making your reaction under 30 minutes gives off that vibe....your reaction was actually just 20 minutes...anyway, just trying to help you succeed and just letting you know from the viewer point of a viewer...I subbed...good luck!
Thank you for the feedback! I did do a post on my channel but obviously not everyone can see that. The reason it’s so short is copyright essentially, as I’ve had some major problems with TH-cam in the last month and them blocking my videos. The more content you show, the more likely your video gets copyrighted and blocked. If it were up to me all my videos would be over an hour long. I will try to make the next one longer. Also if I feel like I missed something important in a scene, I do go back and rewatch it
Long story short George Lucas eventually realized he was writing the middle of a story. A new hope was originally just named "Star Wars" until it blew up. So the og trilogy became the story of Luke.

Luke is in his early 20s in the original trilogy
@@ataridc thank you for the clarification! 🙌🏻 that make a lot more sense :)
The OG trilogy had different directors, too. Lucas directed the original, Irvin Kershner did this one, and Richard Marquand did the third.
@@DavidB-2268 yeah that is true, although I've always heard George was still involved but I'm not sure to what level
@@ataridc From what I heard he regularly visited the sets, gave advices and answered questions the directors had. Kershner was obviously more experienced and was one of Lucas' mentor but he always respected George's vision and wanted to do it justice.

In some cases CGI is cheaper and requires less skill. But you are correct, practical effects almost always look better. For example the way they got the hovering effect for Luke’s speeder was by covering the wheels with a mirror and smearing it with Vaseline!
I'm sure your SW:ANH reaction wasn't that bad! We all know, every channel starts out kind of green, awkward, cringey, etc, but it's fun to see how the improvements evolve. Plus it would be satisfying for the completionists out there who would appreciate the complete first trilogy, even if the reaction is "not so good" (again, I'm sure it's fine). :-)
Just a humble suggestion. :-) You could compile all 3 reactions into one long extended reaction video - I've seen another channel do that, and it's rather clever and convenient.
I'm sure you're speaking of CGI effects, specifically....as practical effects ARE still special effects. And I agree - practical effects done well hold up better than CGI that's always advancing and rendering (ha!) older efforts more dated by comparison.
@@Pixelologist yes that is what I meant haha
Regarding Luke putting up a better-than-expected fight against Vader: I feel like when you watch their fight again, it's clear Vader is toying with him most of the time. It's only in round three, at the end, where he takes the gloves off and starts trying to beat Luke in earnest. And when Luke manages to land that glancing blow off the shoulder, Vader ends the fight two swings later with the hand being chopped off.
Yeah, Vader was toying with Luke, testing his strength, right until Luke actually hurt him. Then he locked in for 3 seconds and got rid of Luke's hand lol.
I’ve gone back and rewatched some of it and I can see it now!
Nobody says “Luke I am your father.” Nobody! I hate hearing that misquote perpetuated. And why keep worrying about what you know, or don’t know, or think you know. Watch the movie, let it unfold. Learn what you learn when you see it on screen. 🙄
Then that's not a REACTION video, ugh, let her do the video THE WAY SHE DOES IT, not dictate ... HOW about that :p
and I remember "Luke, I am your Father" but the Hydro change things in 2012
Dude calm yourself. Everyone does reaction channels differently, if she in for you then someone else will be
17:05 in order to become a Jedi one one must first be force sensitive!! in order to commune with the force and allow it to flow through you
My first time watching your reaction channel, i thought it was great! Curious if you British, Australian, New Zealander? A thought..
Halloween coming up. "The Crow" is a cult classic from 90s.. Bruce Lee's son Brandon is the star and was killed during filming. Hollywood just released remake, but im sure its not the orginial quality!
Im from England!
@@AbbyJaneReacts thanks, look forward too more of your reactions, do you cosplay, have Amazon wishlist?
16:14
A force sensitive individual start the training as a Padawan at 8, 9 years.
Big surprise (except for... you know) when I first saw this film: the Episode V designation. The math is off, I'm sure.
19:51 the Skywalker’s don’t stop at Luke 🤐
16:18 during the golden age of tbe republic Jedi were identified at 5 months
after watching your intro, I'll be honest... You're instantly likable :p You're channel will do great if you put in the uploads.
@@Novaximus thank you!
Nice Reaction, Luke lost his hand yes but this is not Futuristic, this pastistic with Tech far beyond what we know, remember this is A LONG TIME AGO
You know when Obi-Wan appears to Luke it's kind of like just think of him think of it this way your flesh dies but your soul Goes on there we go
It you give credit in the video description you can use regular dialog and sound. Look at some other reactors I watched someone who put the production companies and was allowed to use the original sound.
Abby, If you care to actually activate your windows, there are places online you can buy windows keys for pretty cheap if you search around.
@@DavidSmith-mt7tb it is activated the message just won’t go away
@@AbbyJaneReacts well that's weird. Did you try turning it off and on again? 🤣
@@DavidSmith-mt7tb yes 😂 it’s been like this for a year, since I took it to the computer shop to get the storage upgraded, don’t know what the guy did haha
Abby, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. It is your destiny..
🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻
I think C-3PO has you beat in complaining 😅
Hi Abby just seen your reaction and it was a lot of fun just wish it was a longer reaction, anyway I saw the OG trilogy at the cinema as a kid and this is my favourite film in the Star Wars franchise, but of the Disney stuff I only really enjoyed Rogue One and the Andor series, talking of Andor that was filmed entirely on locations in England and Scotland, with full size practical sets built, there was very little CGI effects used during the making of it, for me it gave the show that lived in feeling something that I don't get with the volume as Disney calls it, that's the multiple T.V screens you were talking about, anyway my other favourite franchise is the LOTR I don't even mind the Hobbit films either,
Also did I hear you say you enjoy horror films, if so would love to see you react to if you haven't already seen them, the films are, American Werewolf in London 1981, The Thing 1982, Hellraiser 1987, A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984, The Lost Boys 1987, there are many more and of course it's your channel so react to what you like, but if you ever decide to add horror films to your reactions these are a good place to start.
@@MarkLloyd72 thank you! And after I watch the films I might watch some of the series, I’ve heard good things about Andor! And yes for October I’d like to react to some horror films, and I have been wanting to watch some of the ones you’ve mentioned :)
@@AbbyJaneReacts No worries and some of the T.V shows are better than others same with the films but you should watch them and decide for yourself, and October will be a lot of fun on here with the horror reactions, If you want anymore recommendations happy to mention some others that you may like.
@@MarkLloyd72 yeah if you have any do recommend! The only issue is where I live a lot of horror films aren’t available on any streaming platforms but hopefully some of them will be!
@@AbbyJaneReacts Okay will do also have some different Sci-Fi and fantasy films that you may like, along with action films as well, also you are from the UK like me so surely you have access to the same streaming platforms as me, anyway looking forward to your next Star Wars reaction.
@@MarkLloyd72 I don’t live in the uk!
Ouch time
If you go on reacting to all of the first six films at the end you should release the new hope footage it would be interesting to view tbf if you don't want to it's your decision and that's fine
Where can I find that?
8:44 it is way cheaper to cram CGI
Luke is 22 in this movie
Don’t take this the wrong way but you really need to hire a better editor!!
Don’t take this the wrong way but you really need BETTER TACT lol
Quick clarification on in the cave with Luke and why he failed: he failed simply because he brought the weapon with him. Yoda was trying to teach him the force was to defend himself, but to never attack, because it can lead to aggression, and aggression can lead to the dark path of the dark side and that when he found himself in the Vader face, was that if he had gone to face Vader as he did, it was a warning his actions were taking him down a similar path of Anakin.
It’s 1980
Curious, what makes a reaction bad enough that you don’t post? As long as we can hear what you’re saying I’d love to watch it
@@yeeticus7206 the footage has been deleted forever 😂 it was my first time reacting so I didn’t really say that much and didn’t really know what to do
@@AbbyJaneReacts haha fair enough. How far have you got on the patreon? I’m considering taking a look, love your appreciation for practical effects
@@yeeticus7206 at the moment I only have a longer version of return of the Jedi for free. I don’t have a membership or anything :)
@@AbbyJaneReacts oh okay, it’s probably a bit far ahead for you to be considering but do you know if you’ll get into the clone wars series? I used to think anything animated was pretty much just for kids but the series as a whole might be better than any single Star Wars movie.
@@yeeticus7206 some people have recommended it to me so I will have a look and see!
Just came across your reaction and subscribed. Looking forward to your journey and please don't let people tell you not to watch certain trilogies. Watch all and decide for yourself. Great reaction, wish it were longer but do it however you need to do it to post them. May the Force be with you young Padawan :)
I really appreciate this! I’m still new to TH-cam so I’m always looking to improve. And I will be watching all trilogies :)
Harry Potter next if you haven’t seen it . The most popular franchise ever according to gross profit and is amazing ….It is also extremely popular for reactions.
@@vvthetalentlessduo6976 I have watched Harry Potter, I had a potterhead phase when I was younger haha
Abby, is there a place to view your full reaction?
@@MegaMan352 no, but I am working on the next reaction to be longer :)
@@AbbyJaneReacts if I might suggest, many people who do reactions post their full reactions on patreon.
@@MegaMan352 yes I just don’t think there’s much demand at the moment, but maybe in the future I’ll do one
This will be good. Never been that into these films. Hope you have a look at something unusual like "the fisher king" or the wicker man.
@@StephenSinclair-d6n I’ve never heard of them, will check them out!
@@AbbyJaneReacts 70s wicker man lol..not the crappla one.
@@AbbyJaneReacts Abby Jane, no one knows for sure what makes one reactor channel popular and another one not. One thing you can control, and be distinguished for, is the choice of films to watch. _The Fisher King_ (1991) and _The Wicker Man_ (1973) would indeed be rare and good choices. Also worthy, I think, would be _Theatre of Blood_ (1973), but only if you have any taste for Shakespeare plays, since several are referenced. (One movie to help grow such a taste would be the delicious _Much Ado About Nothing_ (1993)). Best of luck with the channel!
@@AbbyJaneReacts MIdsommar is basically a remake of The Wicker Man.
👋👋🙌🙌👏👏💖💖🤗🤗🥰🥰
Yeah but desert worlds are even worse. they have sand.
I hate sand. t's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. ;)
Living close to the beach I guess I’m more used to it then snow, but agreed, sand is horrible 😂
damn you are wielding those clavicles with reckless abandon ma'am.
Great to see a new reactor who isn't completely over the top. I am sure you'll very quickly have more subscribers than me (and quite rightly too!). If sci-fi/fantasy are your things you have years of old movies to catch up on and I'm looking forward to your future content. I am now subscribed. :)
You dont sound like your from Spain where are you from? , is there NO snow in the mountains in Spain ? you must have been to mountains at some time
To put your mind at ease, you are watching them in a correct order. If you're still interested after Episode 6, I highly recommend starting Episodes 1-3 after 👌
Yes, I plan on watching all of them 😊
His not I know what Star Wars movie his in
By reading on it you basically spoiled the movie. Never read about a movie. read about it After
it makes me confused when someone hasn't watched star wars. Parents, raise your kids right and make them watch the classics.
Not everyone is a nerd bro
@@ofenomeno1381 lol, that's the problem
I explained in the intro why I hadn’t watched them before
Yeah, so you just spoiled everything in the first 5 minutes.
Think of a book, and starting in the middle. I saw Star Wars in 1977. I love the Disney three. And, Especially Obi Wan series/
The order of release is 4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9 but 8 and 9 are just awful episode 7 is just bearable, out of all of them none beat the original trilogy of episodes 4,5&6
Wait, wait. This is your first time watching Star wars, but you started in the middle of the trilogy?
@@TheRealBitterbub I explained why in the intro
@@AbbyJaneReacts My mistake, sorry, I missed it because I posted before getting far in the video. How do you like the series as a whole now? If anything, I definitely say the Disney stuff just needs to be excluded.
@@TheRealBitterbub I’ve been really enjoying it?
Are You Watching a Movie or you're mindlessly Rambling ?!
Tbf, if you knew Vader was the father, you should have started with 1, imho. Great reaction still!
@@Starkiller2725 thank you!
Be careful with the Star Wars fandom. Some people are pretty toxic. It is one of the largest fandoms but all of these properties like Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings and other fantasy/Sci Fi have fan groups that think they know what is good and what is bad as far as media. They can be a bit rabid in if you like something different from them. We tend to like the media we came in on. That is why some people like different parts of Star Wars over others. Nothing can recreate that initial experience so everything else is horrible and that is not an honest or fair take. Watch and like what you want. I would not pay attention to online groups or people who call themselves "experts" or "real fans". Star Wars is meant for kids that is what Lucas wanted. Just a fun ride for young people to enjoy and older people to remember what it was like to be young.
Yeah I had already heard about the Star Wars fandom and the toxicity with some of the fans, but I’m looking forward to watching all the movies and seeing how I feel about them :)
...I know you are new to this and I am just trying to help here with some opinions...I am sure others will share some of my opinions as well...so I have two points: first please focus more and if you are going to be talking, do it when there is no dialogue going on in the movie...most people will naturally miss a lot of info while they talk even though they won't realize it while they are doing it but to a viewer like me who has seen the movie over and over, we know where the important stuff are and it can be very frustrating to the fan like me to see that happening...second, I have seen literally hundreds of reactions and from what I see, no good reactions are ever under 30 minutes long....so please try to make them at least 35 minutes if you can....making the reaction too short just seem to me like the person does not care enough about the reactions therefor she rushed right through it...most of the time when I see a reaction under 30 minutes I would never even bother to click on it because I just feel like the reactor probably didn't care much for the film or feel any passion for it so I don't care either...I am sure that is not what your intention was but making your reaction under 30 minutes gives off that vibe....your reaction was actually just 20 minutes...anyway, just trying to help you succeed and just letting you know from the viewer point of a viewer...I subbed...good luck!
Thank you for the feedback! I did do a post on my channel but obviously not everyone can see that. The reason it’s so short is copyright essentially, as I’ve had some major problems with TH-cam in the last month and them blocking my videos. The more content you show, the more likely your video gets copyrighted and blocked. If it were up to me all my videos would be over an hour long. I will try to make the next one longer. Also if I feel like I missed something important in a scene, I do go back and rewatch it
Too much talking
This is a reaction channel what you expect? (You call this too much talking?you seen nothing what some reaction channels are like)
You talk to much my dear..!
nice try, try a 60min+ Reaction. This is a joke
