I was introduced to star wars on TV, and I saw them and was immediately hooked. Sorry to say but I'm not that big a fan of Han Solo, i went hard into Luke, Obi-Wan and the force. Yoda being one of my all time favorite characters. I think Hans attitude of mocking hit to much home with how I was treated with my own hobbies and being bullied. I also played the games, read the book version of the prequel movies. Devoted 10 years to playing star wars the old republic. Star wars is always entwined in everything I do and taught me so much. I am biased but I do want you to do the rest of the movies and also the infamous prequels since you were there when they come and hate they got with the now beloved cult status they have. I would love to hear your movie expertise in those movies, what worked what didn't and why people had such a visceral reaction to them. Loved this episode and it's always a treat listening to you guys.
To elaborate on why the sequels which I forgot. I love the sequels and the tragedy of anakins fall with revenge of the sith being my favorite star wars movie.
The first time I watched New Hope, I was 6, watching the his movie on a VHS recording from the US network. Still one of my favorite movies ever. Thanks for this episode buds ❤❤❤
Great episode guys. This is my favorite Star Wars movie and one of my favorite movies of all time. And we need its message now more than ever I think. We can't lose sight of ourselves and movies like Star Wars help us remember the things that are important. And shows us what fighting for good looks like even in a distant galaxy. Phenomenal filmmaking too. George is amazing.
I was about five or six years old when Stars Wars was released in theatres - I'd see the full-page ads for it in the movie-section of the newspaper every weekend... It was SUCH a phenomenon. Sadly, I wasn't allowed to go see it until a bit later into its initial run in theatres - so I was probably around seven years old (Yes, this was back when movies would be in movie theatres for a YEAR or more). I was already a big sci-fi nerd ... obsessed over all things space-ships and aliens and astronauts... Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, etc. Star Trek was in re-runs on TV and I watched *EVERYTHING* with even a vague sci-fi/space-opera theme to it. (Space: 1999... anyone? anyone?) ... but ... Oh My Gawd ... Star Wars. STAR WARS (back before it was re-titled "A New Hope") ... this was THE space story. It became EVERYTHING to me (and only added to my obsession with space-/sci-fi stuff) We all wanted to be the hero in this film ... we fell in love with Princess Leia, we all wanted a beautiful, tough as nails gal who could stand by your side and kiss you before you swung across that chasm in the Death Star ... we all wanted to fly that fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy ... every stick became a light-sabre ... every gun became a blaster ... it completely overshadowed all other sci-fi. I became obsessed with the music of John Williams and instantly recognize his music in just about every movie he's ever done. I re-watched it as much as I could ... my older brother got a copy it on videotape and we wore that out (I believe it was a BetaMax cassette) and it has always been one of the first films that I've purchased for every type of home-media I've upgraded to... (had it on VHS ... owned the re-mastered editions... the Letterboxed editions... later, the enhanced special effects editions... on DVD... on BluRay... and even re-purchased the DVD copies because they included the original non-enhanced version in the special features of the disks) God, I'm old now. (Will save y'all the math ... I turn 54 this year) ... and yes, I paid for a theatre ticket to go sit in a cinema and watch the trailer for the Phantom Menace (my friends and I ended up staying and watching "Wing Commander" -- UGH!). I still hold this film franchise in high regard ... I have Star Wars related toys and props all over my home now. I cried and mourn with the passing of each cast member.
I was three when Star Wars came out so I didn't see it in the Theaters. My first experience with this universe was actually the Star Wars Christmas Special. I barely remember it, but I recall the Boba Fett animation and the conversations occurring between the Wookies. When Star Wars finally made it to HBO a year or two later I got to see it and I remember it vividly. It was an important moment for me personally.
Yooo please react to Jackie Chan's (Police Story 3 : Supercop) 🙏🏽 its one of my favorite movies the plot is 👌🏽 and exactly what you want from Jackie Chan .. And believe me he does deliver in the Police Story movies , at least the first three 😉👌🏽
Holy crap, this is the one I’ve been waiting for forever. This is my favorite film of all time, I'm so glad you guys are covering it.

HARD maybe on sequels 😂 couldn’t agree more 😂❤❤❤
