Absolutely love watching these movies with you Miss Dawn! Just like the song says: "You make me feel so young"...memories, memories. Thank you young lady 🥰🥰
@@crucisnh growing up with the harry potter movies lord of the rings went right over my head and when I finally got to watch the trilogy a few years ago I was kinda disappointed. they are just too long in my opinion and there was too much talking for me. I do understand why people love it tho, it has iconic characters and it stands out from a lot of other movie franchises. and some of the scenes I really enjoyed but to me, I will always compare it to harry potter because it's what I grow up with and the two franchises has many similarities.
@@crucisnh Agreed. LoTR is regarded as the best trilogy ever made. The acting, character development, pacing, effects, production value are objectivly done better. I love Star wars too, but lets be real here.
Lol let’s be real here? By what, acting like your opinion is final? You’re out of your mind. Star Wars OT changed filmmaking forever, LOTR wouldn’t have been possible without it. Both are phenomenal.
In the original movie, at the big party at the end Anakin was played by the actor you saw when the helmet was removed. In this doctored version, they used the actor who played Anakin in episodes 1, 2, and 3. It makes no sense. Obiwan and Yoda are the ages they were when they died. Why should Anakin suddenly be young? Plus up to this point you have not seen this actor so have no idea who he is.
The day before this film came out a cinema in London was showing episode IV and V up to midnight and VI after midnight. Obviously everyone in the cinema was a Star Wars fan and many were in costume. Anthony Daniels (C3P0) introduced the film. Seeing the Speeder bike chase on the big scren was amazing.
One fact about the actor who plays the Emperor, he was 37 when filming Return of the Jedi and what you see onscreen is incredible makeup and acting to appear older
Glad you warmed up to Leia. As for the growing up, Carrie Fisher was 19 when she shot the first one and Mark Hamill was in his mid-20s. They shot this one six years later, so good observation. Also, when you start the prequels, I recommend putting the captions on for the first 10 minutes of Episode 1. There's a line near the beginning that so many reactors miss that places the movie in the Star Wars timeline right away.
@@Chris-ImperialAerosolKid Prequels are definitely inferior, but I'd watch them a thousand times before watching any of the sequel trilogy even once. The only one that even passes for "mildly entertaining yet horrifically written" is TFA. The other two are completely devoid of any redeeming qualities.
My story about watching this for the first time as a teenager, in the film's first run: _A long time ago, in a movie theater about 30 blocks from here ..._ Unlike _A New Hope_ where I saw the film in a Cinerama theater, I saw _Return of the Jedi_ at the Stuart (now Roccoco) Theater in Lincoln, Nebraska. She was one of those Grand Dame theaters: originally built for live theater, symphony orchestra, and touring companies. In 1943, the Stuart was converted to solely a movie theater and run by Paramount Pictures. At the same time, the backstage area was sold and turned into a theater-themed nightclub, Barrymore's, which also still exists today. The Stuart Theater occupied six floors in the 13-story building Stuart Building. Seating capacity was 1,850, including two balconies. She had a beamed and panel designed ceiling and six chandeliers. The interior walls were of stone and terra cotta. Faux gold inlays lined _everything_ . She was a beautiful sight to behold. For _Return of the Jedi_ it was packed. Unlike my first screening of _A New Hope_ , in which I'd had the good bad luck to sit in the center seat of row one, that seat was already taken for _Jedi_ . I sat in the second balcony with some friends. This also turned out to be good bad luck, but for different reasons. _A year before this movie, in the halls of my High School ..._ It was a few days before graduation. I was a Senior and eager to leave High School behind me. They were having a school assembly for honors students at which Nebraska's Governor was to speak. As I had absolutely nothing to do but sit in the auditorium for the next two hours, I decided to ditch school and go to the Stuart Theater. They'd just installed a bangin' new sound system and were having free screenings of _The Jazz Singer_ . Not the famous first one, the crappy re-make in the 1980s. No, don't react to it. I was walking down the halls clearly headed for the school's main exit when who should be walking towards me but the Principal, two Vice-Principals, and the Governor. I figured my goose was cooked since the Principal and his Vices knew perfectly well where I was supposed to be -- and that wasn't headed toward the main exit. What I'd failed to consider is that the Principal and his Vices admonishing me to get back in the auditorium would be embarrassing for them in front of the Governor. Instead, I got a hello and several dirty looks. But who cares, I was graduating in a few days. What were they going to do, put me in detention? In any case, I got to hear the the Stuart's new sound system, and it was indeed bangin'. _Meanwhile, back at Return of the Jedi ..._ There I was in the second balcony, and my good back luck came courtesy of the Stuart's bangin' new sound system. That orchestra and Maestro Williams' music in a theater that size was _awesome_ . The entire theater shook and vibrated with every note. But the real shocker came with one single line, Jabba's first: " *Bo shudda.* " Holy crap! The bass in that line was so low that the theater simply rumbled. The building itself shook from the bass. It gave Jabba a menacing quality that is gone when you watch it on a stream. " *Bo shudda.* " I'll never forget it.
Part of what made Darth Vader work so well was the *combination* of actors that comprised the role. David Prowse was physically in the suit. The actor whose face we see is Sebastian Shaw. The voice is James Earl Jones. Finally, the breathing/rasping sounds were created by the audio team. While J.E.J. gets all the recognition as the voice, it really took a team to create the iconic role.
The cultural impact of this trilogy is absolutely massive! I watched these as a small child but still love them to this day. Oh, and I find your lack of Leia buns disturbing :)
When this trilogy was first released we only saw Jabba for the first time in Episode 6. In the special edition of Episode 4 the slug Jabba was CG superimposed on the original actor in a scene originally cut from the film.
Dawn, you're amazing! I think most of us, especially me, could listen to you all day. Musical, soft, and funny reactions, the accent, so angelic and friendly. It's like you're lying down, watching TV, chillin'. You're relaxed , then someone walks by and puts two kittens on you. That's how I feel when I watch your videos! Thank You, Dawn.
I just discovered you a few days ago and am really enjoying your videos. When you said "He looks like an egg" I about lost it. We all got together as a family at my brother's house to watch this movie. (It had to be on vhs!) My sister-in-law was bedridden with the cancer that eventually took her life. We had the tv set up so she could see it, too. At that same spot in the movie we heard, from the bedroom behind us, "He looks like Humpty Dumpty". 🤣 We have not stopped laughing at that, all these years later. We quote it frequently. At least every time we watch this movie. 😉 So , YOUR comment cracked me up! Thank you! 🥰
That gold bikini costume is popularly known as "Slave Leia," because, well, she was Jabba's slave, chained up. But in recent years, I've heard it referred to as "Hutt-slayer Leia," in honor of her choking that slimy gangster to death. I find that title much more apropos of Leia's bad-ass self. P.S. I loved how you said Han hadn't seen her in her bikini, and he'd fall in love all over again. LOL! I never thought about how we never get a reaction shot of Han seeing Leia that way; his vision is still recovering..
Only one thing better than watching a star wars movie, and that's watching a new fan enjoying it. I can think of none better than Dawn. Don't worry about asking all the questions it is fun to see your excitement.🌺🌺👍💚😎😍
One of the benefits of watching this movie back when it came out was that the toy line came out at the same time. So they were action figures of many of the characters and we knew what their names were from that.
@@legendary6890 wouldn't you be just as sad if your parents bought the toys and prohibited you from even touching the boxes they came in? Can you imagine having all your toys kept from you on the off chance they might later become valuable? What's more valuable?
Of course, as a child I wanted to play and I did..i had a very good childhood...today I'm a movie collector and wish I had my figures still in a box ...
13:39 this little fuzzy guy's name is Wicket. Imagine being a part of the empire that has to admit that they were beat by a bunch of little Teddy Bears. lol Welcome to the Star Wars fan club lol. I'm glad that you like these movies so much.
Great reaction. I was 8 when it came out and my grandma took me to see it in the theaters. The only thing I remember from seeing it that day was when the Ewok got killed. I remember crying and every time I watch that scene it takes me back to that day. 😭
I got to see this on opening day back in '83. After everyone was rescued from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt, when Luke's X-Wing and the Millenium Falcon blasted away from Tatooine, the whole audience cheered. Seeing the first three Star Wars films in theater as new movies was literally a Once in a Lifetime Experience.
10:24 If you like explosions, you should watch Gerry Anderson shows like Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Space: 1999. They've got loads of explosions.
Hey Marie; well i'm pretty excited about you…… I mean i just started looking at your reactions today, but i can say that you're the first woman who doesn't cry at every emotional scene...my big respect and a relaxing Show Thanks a lot Greets and cheers MIK
The actor playing Wicket the ewok, the 'teddy bear' that Leia met, was an 11-year-old Warwick Davis. It was his first movie role. He went on to star in the movie Willow six years later. One role I remember seeing him in was an episode of Doctor Who, during the Matt Smith era.
I love "a new hope" the most. I got to see Empire Strikes back in the theater (first movie I watched.) But things like all the aliens in the first movie, really got me. I would like to specify that I like the original versions over the special editions. The special editions did add some good things. But some of the things that were added didn't quite feel right to me. Anyway, these reactions have been a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Dawn, this version was reedited by George in 1997 and 2005, he took out two scenes with puppets and music and replaced them with not so good cgi scenes, here are the links for those 2 scenes Lapti Nek (jabba's palace band, Sy Snootles and the Max Rebo band) 1983 version ua-cam.com/video/2w25pcTIFlQ/v-deo.html Yub Nub (the Ewoks singing a song at the end of the movie) 1983 version ua-cam.com/video/tMn59wqUoLU/v-deo.html
There were a few other things added that shouldn't have been, such as Hayden Christensen at the end, or Vader shouting "Noooo...". In my opinion, they diminished things a bit. However, they did make some GOOD changes. Removing Vader's eyebrows is something trivial that actually needed doing. The galactic celebrations were nice, but kind of unrealistic... how would the whole galaxy know what happened so fast? Mehh, just my own bias, I suppose.
Just stumbled across your Channel. I saw these films when they first came out in theaters. I was 13 when Jedi came out. It is wonderful to see younger generations enjoy theses gems. Consider me subscribed! Great reaction!
Going into Ep.1, keep in mind that it takes place before the Empire, so there's no Rebel Alliance and no Emperor yet. The ruling government is the Republic, which has a representative senate made up of delegates from every planet. The leader of the senate is the Supreme Chancellor, kind of like the President or Prime Minister of the whole galaxy. There is no military because there's been peace for a thousand years. Instead, the peace is kept by the Jedi Knights. The Jedi Order serves the Republic but it exists apart from it with its own traditions and rules. Centuries before, the Jedi wiped out their ancient enemies, the Dark Lords of the Sith. However, by the time of Ep.1, the senate has become corrupt and wealthy corporations have a lot of influence in government. One of these is the Trade Federation, who appear to be the main villains of the next movie. But they are secretly in league with a familiar shadowy figure who is pulling the strings from behind the scenes, and whose existence even the Jedi are not aware of. Some of this stuff is not explained very clearly and can pull you out of the movie. You may find it helpful to know some of this stuff going in.
"Once he finds out about Leia and Han...combined with the awesome music, it's gonna be hard for him to say no." HAHAHAHA🤣🤣 That and the affirmative head nod for the escape from Jabba's sail barge. Priceless.
I believe you have been very insightful at times, Dawn. Thank you for the reaction. I was a teenager when the first SW came out, and it absolutely changed movies forever.
Is it insight or just exposure to meme's and other material in the many decades since this movie aired in theaters. Anyone can be "insightful" without actually seeing the movie if they've been exposed to pop culture.
This is my favourite reaction video. Ever. As soon as you saw "Star Wars" in the opening credits and smiled & sighed it's exactly what I, and probably many other do when they see it. I'm guessing by now you've been told the little teddy bears are Ewoks. I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but the first Ewok you see that befriends Leia is called Wicket, and played by Hollywood legend Warwick Davies who's been in tons of blockbuster movies, including the Harry Potter films. He also presents Tenable on ITV. Anyway, I'm looking forward to your next Star Wars reaction video!
Haha Dawn’s reaction after Dart Vader’s mask got off *he looks like a egg* priceless. Can’t wait for the *Space balls* reaction, her take on Dart Vader there 😆
There were a lot of arguments when it came to George Lucas changing the image of Anakin Skywalker's ghost at the end of the film. In the original release, the person we saw as a ghost was the same guy we saw when Luke took his mask off. But after the prequel trilogy was made, Lucas decided to replace his face with the Hayden Christiansen (Anakin from the prequels). I, personally like the change.
16:00 "I like them what's there names?" Those are Ewoks, there are two made for TV movies that were made about them that came after this movie was shown in theaters because kids liked them so much. Me and my little sister liked watching them when we were kids. We even had little stuffed animal toys of them. The one princess Leia first met is named Wicket.
It's been fantastic watching you fall deeper and deeper in love with the Holy Trilogy! These days it's become hard to separate the films from all the surrounding hype and merchandise, and even to know if Star Wars is a good as one thinks, or if it's largely down to nostalgia... but seeing new viewers get just as swept up in the saga as we all were as kids gives me a certain sense of validation, and brings warm feelings to my heart ❤ Personally, my favourite of the three is Empire Strikes Back... but when I first saw it at about the age of 7, I thought it was really boring and didn't watch it again for years! Then I happened to catch it on TV when I was 13 and it just blew me away! It was so good and had so much depth to it that I missed the first time round, and it immediately became my favourite movie of all time. But of course, all three are amazing and I'll never get tired of watching them. I hope you'll enjoy the prequels too, when you get round to them! Generally speaking, those who grew up with the originals weren't big fans of the prequel trilogy, but it seems that those who saw the prequels as kids or watch them now for the first time tend to enjoy them a lot more. Ps. Lucas originally intended the Ewoks to be Wookiees like Chewie, but changed his mind for three reasons: the budget wouldn't stretch to having loads of them onscreen, it was going to prove nigh-impossible to find enough tall people to play them anyway, and Wookiees would be a formidable enemy for the Empire to fight, instead of being primitive underdogs in the final battle. Therefore Lucas cut them (and the name) in half and hey presto, we have the Ewoks!
THANK you for that. You bring such a refreshing glee and enthusiasm and awe to your reaction vids, I hope you get more subscribers, you deserve them all :)
Welcome to Star Wars! It's been great seeing a fellow Scot seeing these and falling in love with them, hope you get as much enjoyment out of them as I have over the years! Rogue One is an amazing film, I'd recommend watching that and then watching A New Hope straight after, as it adds a lot to it.
Now you can watch and appreciate Spaceballs. I enjoyed watching you seeing these for the first time - it’s great fun 'seeing' the movies again through new eyes. Seeing them originally in the theatre was amazing as there really hadn’t been anything like them before. Watching that seemingly never ending star destroyer pass overhead in the first movie had everyone in the theater collectively holding their breath.
So enjoyed watching you experience the three films. Ep IV is my first film memory (being in the car with my parents at the drive-in when I was two! It's just little flashes of memory but I watched them years later as a tween and they make me so nostalgic.) It makes me so happy to see new generations of people enjoy something so special to me and countless others. Can't wait to see the other six films in the story. Have a lovely day! (Matt, Sydney AUS)
Really enjoyed watching you experience these for the first time. There’s so much more to go. Wait until you’re about to watch the new shows that have been coming out over the last couple of years. They’re some of the best Star Wars stories since these last three movies you just watched. Thanks Dawn!
For those of us who saw the movies when they were new, this was the first time we saw Jabba. The scene in A New Hope was shot, but with a fat guy in a fur coat. George Lucas had thought about inserting a puppet Jabba in the scene, but he couldn't come up with a design that worked and that he was happy with. And strictly speaking, the scene wasn't really necessary, so he dropped it. When he made the Special Editions in 1997, he restored the scene and made a CGI Jabba. He later improved the CGI rendering for the Blu-ray release, but it was still different from the practical Jabba that always had been in Return of the Jedi.
For a long time I went back and forth between this and Empire being my favorite. I finally settled on Empire being my favorite but it was back and forth for years. So many great parts about this one still.
I love this trilogy so much it has such a great story. One of my favourite subtle things is Luke's clothes. HE starts off wearing white to symbolise the light side and hope. In Jedi he wears black a sign he might turn to the dark side. The at the end he makes his choice and a bit of white underneath becomes visible. Symbolising he could have turned but there was good underneath waiting to come out, and did after he had chosen to be a Jedi. The fact only three people knew who Darth Vader really was is crazy. Even the actor playing Vader didn't know he delivered a different line whilst filming. Mark Hamill knew to give the right response then James Earl Jones knew when he went to record Vader's lines. So only four people knew and had to keep it a secret and they did. Thats just one of many reasons I love this trilogy. Shame secrets can't be kept like this these days. Great reaction and I'm so glad you enjoyed the trilogy. Just goes to prove how great movies stay great and pick up new fans over the generations.
Mel Brooks’ “Spaceballs” was made only after these original three, so you are safe to watch it now. There are other sci-fi film references, but don’t think it’s worth waiting to run across watching them. If you ever decide to watch Mel Brooks’ “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”, make sure to watch “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” first.
Little Bears are known as Ewoks. One of the Ewoks befriends Leia (Carrie Fisher), Wicket is played then kid actor, Warick Davis who was 11 years old when this movie being filmed. Davis has been in movies since 1983 and continues today. Besides being in movies, Davis runs a talent agency for little people with his father-in-law.
Terry Gilliam's "Time Bandits" also featured a few of the Ewok actors. Gilliam himself has said that those actors end up in full costume for films, so he gave them a chance to show audiences who they actually were.
I just remembered another scifi movie you might not have seen: The Fifth Element. It's one of my favourites, some action, some comedy, some weirdness, some scary and a stunning musical number.
If you watch the Prequels, the shows and side moves come after. The shows do have certain characters and connecting subplots, so it'd be recommended to watch them in timeline order: The Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett. Clone Wars is out of order, so there's a chronological order list for that online.
Who you saw under Vader's mask wasn't the same person in the suit the rest of the time. David Prowse was in the suit for the majority of the Vader scenes in the trilogy, Sebastian Shaw was Anakin for the face reveal (and ghost before the remasters).
Trivia: Lucas had Jabba designed, based on the actor Sydney Greenstreet, who was a BIG man himself...he weighed at least 300 pounds. There was an early scene showing Luke putting together a light saber, in what looks like Obi Won's old house in the desert, but it was taken out of the film b4efore release.
10 seconds into this reaction you already had me smiling. I needed this. Thank you, dear. ;) While I totally understand you wanting to seek out more info about these movies, I HIGHLY recommend waiting until after you've watched Episodes I - III because they will answer a lot of your questions.
I had to skip back a bit in this clip because I missed so much of it holding my belly, rolling on the floor, banging my head in the furniture, howling and pissing my tiger onesie of laughter after "OK, I lied. The imperial walkers aren't the worst in this." You are quite a delight! And yes, he is a wonky looking bugger, that one! xD
12:52 Dawn: "He needs some fruit and veg or something not looking very healthy..." When a Scottish person says that you know you're in trouble! 😅 17:04 "I'm not even going to say what his face looks like!"😂 That reminded me of seeing this in the cinema as a kid. My friend noticed that the Rebel Admiral 18:31 bares a striking resemblance to a turd and I said I think his name is Admiral Schitz. As ten year olds this had us giggling for the rest of the movie every time he came on the screen. lol
Well, the original trilogy was _first_ released in '77, '80 and '83. I know the originals can be bought off of Amazon (in the US), but otherwise, I don't know if they can still be found, because the originals were touched up and _re-released_ in '97, with the special effects updated. _Episode V,_ though, was _so_ close to what they had in mind that it was hardly changed, so I understand its popularity. I don't think I can fairly assess which is my favorite, though, because the _full_ effect comes from being emotionally invested in Luke but not knowing, until he reveals it himself, that Darth is his father. I don't know that I've ever _had_ such a time in my life because I've grown _up_ with _Star Wars._
😃❤️🤓 so awesome. Now, at the end, do you understand. It’s so beyond you know, the feeling of a huge OG Star Wars fan to see another person truly seeing it for first time and loving it. Can’t wait till you watch more until the current stories and shows.
So awesome you loved the 3 originals that I grew up loving! And I' m serious about the extended universe with the novels. I've been a fan since I was 7 years old (1977).
A great reaction, as always. You have a knack for predicting what's coming up with a fairly high degree of accuracy. It's fun to watch. Carrie Fisher (along with Sigourney Weaver from Alien/Aliens) really set the bar for what female characters could be. Thanks again, Miss Dawn Marie! Now I'm off to get a croissant slug.... Mmmm.
lol. I have to admit I laughed out loud at one point in the video. The celebration on the planet at the end, with the Ewoks about.."Ah.. that music's awesome." I agree with you! But...... I'm old enough to have seen the film when it first premiered and I can ASSURE you that the music, in the same scene, in that first cut....was BY NO MEANS AWESOME! Changing that particular piece of soundtrack was just one in a myriad of changes Lucas made to the series "on further consideration." If you can find the first cut...take a listen to the "original Ewok party music." It....was...horrific. On this same theme it is common to point out that the original trilogy of Star Wars that you can buy off the shelf today in any store are NOT the original movies as they were made. Which speaks to Lucas's determination to rework the movies, changing soundtracks, inserting (or deleting) scenes, and re releasing the films with a lot of reworks. It's a common complaint and there are many online discussion boards that bemoan the fact, and it is a fact, that it is nearly impossible today to find a copy of the original Star Wars movies as they existed when they were first made and released. Sorry for going on about it, but, its true. What you see today are not the films they once were.
Congratulations. You've taken your first step into a much larger world. Also feel free to skip the sequels. And along with Rogue One and the Disney plus material, watch the despecialized/unaltered/non revisionist version of the original trilogy that you just saw. The ''Despecialized'' versions restore the films to the way they were originally enjoyed by millions since the 70s and 80s. Until George recut them in 1997 by awkwardly inserting dated CGI, changing dialogue, and swapping actors where they weren't before. Along with many other changes. Most of them bad. Thanks for sharing your reaction. I'm happy you enjoyed them so much. It's always great to re-experience these movies through someone else's eyes. 🙂
Return of the Jedi was the first Star Wars film I saw at the cinema. It is my all time favourite and it's great to see your reaction to it. The power of the Force is strong in you. You'll be a powerful Jedi!!!
Dawn, there's nothing wrong with being obsessed with Star Wars. You're just a true fan now, and we're happy to have you.
It makes me happy to watch a new Star Wars fan jump on board! These movies spanned my entire life and mean so much to so many of us. Welcome! 😊
It was so much fun introducing my son to "Star Wars", and now, at age-20, he's an even bigger fan than I am.
@@TheLeprechaunjm Same here. I got my daughter into Star Wars when she was a kid and she now has my 7 year old grandson into the movies.
Aw Dawn! The joy on your face when you knew Threepio was going to say 6,000,000 languages ❤
You're a full-on fan now🤓
Also" "Twirlies" is the best reaction to the speeder cut EVAR!!!
"That music is awesome"
*growls in "I remember the original"*
I have the originals. The 2006 Limited Edition DVDs of each movie (Episodes IV, V, & VI) feature bonus discs with the original theatrical release.
8:21 Dawn: "He looks a little bit like a croissant crossed with a slug - a croissant slug."
Me: "How have I never noticed that?"
I smiled everytime she called Ewoks teddy bears. So cute!
"I'm not even gonna say what his face looks like." Hahahaha!
Absolutely love watching these movies with you Miss Dawn! Just like the song says: "You make me feel so young"...memories, memories. Thank you young lady 🥰🥰
Aww so happy you’re here watching with me! 🥰
Greatest trilogy ever made. Nothing before or since can match it. Thanks for your reaction, Dawn.
the prequels are bether fight me

Glad you warmed up to Leia. As for the growing up, Carrie Fisher was 19 when she shot the first one and Mark Hamill was in his mid-20s. They shot this one six years later, so good observation.
Also, when you start the prequels, I recommend putting the captions on for the first 10 minutes of Episode 1. There's a line near the beginning that so many reactors miss that places the movie in the Star Wars timeline right away.
It's lovely to see a new fan grow organically into the fandom! Your reactions are a prize, my dear! These alone are worth the sub, well done!
Just don't bother with any of the prequels, sequels or any of the extra films or series apart from rogue one and Andor. Absolute shite
@@Chris-ImperialAerosolKid Prequels are definitely inferior, but I'd watch them a thousand times before watching any of the sequel trilogy even once. The only one that even passes for "mildly entertaining yet horrifically written" is TFA. The other two are completely devoid of any redeeming qualities.
My story about watching this for the first time as a teenager, in the film's first run:
_A long time ago, in a movie theater about 30 blocks from here ..._
Unlike _A New Hope_ where I saw the film in a Cinerama theater, I saw _Return of the Jedi_ at the Stuart (now Roccoco) Theater in Lincoln, Nebraska.
She was one of those Grand Dame theaters: originally built for live theater, symphony orchestra, and touring companies.
In 1943, the Stuart was converted to solely a movie theater and run by Paramount Pictures. At the same time, the backstage area was sold and turned into a theater-themed nightclub, Barrymore's, which also still exists today.
The Stuart Theater occupied six floors in the 13-story building Stuart Building. Seating capacity was 1,850, including two balconies. She had a beamed and panel designed ceiling and six chandeliers. The interior walls were of stone and terra cotta. Faux gold inlays lined _everything_ .
She was a beautiful sight to behold. For _Return of the Jedi_ it was packed. Unlike my first screening of _A New Hope_ , in which I'd had the good bad luck to sit in the center seat of row one, that seat was already taken for _Jedi_ .
I sat in the second balcony with some friends. This also turned out to be good bad luck, but for different reasons.
_A year before this movie, in the halls of my High School ..._
It was a few days before graduation. I was a Senior and eager to leave High School behind me. They were having a school assembly for honors students at which Nebraska's Governor was to speak.
As I had absolutely nothing to do but sit in the auditorium for the next two hours, I decided to ditch school and go to the Stuart Theater. They'd just installed a bangin' new sound system and were having free screenings of _The Jazz Singer_ . Not the famous first one, the crappy re-make in the 1980s. No, don't react to it.
I was walking down the halls clearly headed for the school's main exit when who should be walking towards me but the Principal, two Vice-Principals, and the Governor.
I figured my goose was cooked since the Principal and his Vices knew perfectly well where I was supposed to be -- and that wasn't headed toward the main exit.
What I'd failed to consider is that the Principal and his Vices admonishing me to get back in the auditorium would be embarrassing for them in front of the Governor. Instead, I got a hello and several dirty looks. But who cares, I was graduating in a few days. What were they going to do, put me in detention?
In any case, I got to hear the the Stuart's new sound system, and it was indeed bangin'.
_Meanwhile, back at Return of the Jedi ..._
There I was in the second balcony, and my good back luck came courtesy of the Stuart's bangin' new sound system.
That orchestra and Maestro Williams' music in a theater that size was _awesome_ . The entire theater shook and vibrated with every note.
But the real shocker came with one single line, Jabba's first:
" *Bo shudda.* "
Holy crap! The bass in that line was so low that the theater simply rumbled. The building itself shook from the bass. It gave Jabba a menacing quality that is gone when you watch it on a stream.
" *Bo shudda.* " I'll never forget it.
Part of what made Darth Vader work so well was the *combination* of actors that comprised the role. David Prowse was physically in the suit. The actor whose face we see is Sebastian Shaw. The voice is James Earl Jones. Finally, the breathing/rasping sounds were created by the audio team. While J.E.J. gets all the recognition as the voice, it really took a team to create the iconic role.
The cultural impact of this trilogy is absolutely massive! I watched these as a small child but still love them to this day.
Oh, and I find your lack of Leia buns disturbing :)
I wanna see her rockin the Leia bikini.
@@Mr.Ekshin I already suggested that but she was less than enthusiastic...
When this trilogy was first released we only saw Jabba for the first time in Episode 6. In the special edition of Episode 4 the slug Jabba was CG superimposed on the original actor in a scene originally cut from the film.
"He looks like an egg..."
Yes, but in the end, he was a good egg ^^
Dawn, you're amazing! I think most of us, especially me, could listen to you all day. Musical, soft, and funny reactions, the accent, so angelic and friendly. It's like you're lying down, watching TV, chillin'. You're relaxed , then someone walks by and puts two kittens on you. That's how I feel when I watch your videos! Thank You, Dawn.
"He looks like he's peeing when he's doing that" when Luke levitates the chair with C3P0. What a GREAT observation!
So you're saying Obi-Wan telling Luke, "the force will be with you", Obi-Wan detected some prostate anomalies in Luke?
You crack me up with your guesses about the movie. Love your Star Wars reviews.
Haha thank you 🥰
"i'm not even gonna say what his face looks like"
i'm cryin' laughing 🤣
I just discovered you a few days ago and am really enjoying your videos. When you said "He looks like an egg" I about lost it. We all got together as a family at my brother's house to watch this movie. (It had to be on vhs!) My sister-in-law was bedridden with the cancer that eventually took her life. We had the tv set up so she could see it, too. At that same spot in the movie we heard, from the bedroom behind us, "He looks like Humpty Dumpty". 🤣 We have not stopped laughing at that, all these years later. We quote it frequently. At least every time we watch this movie. 😉 So , YOUR comment cracked me up! Thank you! 🥰
That gold bikini costume is popularly known as "Slave Leia," because, well, she was Jabba's slave, chained up.
But in recent years, I've heard it referred to as "Hutt-slayer Leia," in honor of her choking that slimy gangster to death. I find that title much more apropos of Leia's bad-ass self.
P.S. I loved how you said Han hadn't seen her in her bikini, and he'd fall in love all over again. LOL! I never thought about how we never get a reaction shot of Han seeing Leia that way; his vision is still recovering..
7:28 I used to have a toy of this thing (The big monster) when I was a kid, in the 80s! 🙂
Wicket, the main Ewok, was played by Warwick Davis 🐻 ... love your reactions to these Dawn
@6:13 *"It's workiiiiiiing!"*
I love that 😊
Only one thing better than watching a star wars movie, and that's watching a new fan enjoying it. I can think of none better than Dawn. Don't worry about asking all the questions it is fun to see your excitement.🌺🌺👍💚😎😍
One of the benefits of watching this movie back when it came out was that the toy line came out at the same time. So they were action figures of many of the characters and we knew what their names were from that.
Sadly, my parents let me open the boxes and let me play with the figures...some of them would be worth money today
@@legendary6890 wouldn't you be just as sad if your parents bought the toys and prohibited you from even touching the boxes they came in? Can you imagine having all your toys kept from you on the off chance they might later become valuable? What's more valuable?
Of course, as a child I wanted to play and I did..i had a very good childhood...today I'm a movie collector and wish I had my figures still in a box ...
13:39 this little fuzzy guy's name is Wicket. Imagine being a part of the empire that has to admit that they were beat by a bunch of little Teddy Bears. lol Welcome to the Star Wars fan club lol. I'm glad that you like these movies so much.
Great reaction. I was 8 when it came out and my grandma took me to see it in the theaters.
The only thing I remember from seeing it that day was when the Ewok got killed. I remember crying and every time I watch that scene it takes me back to that day. 😭
I got to see this on opening day back in '83. After everyone was rescued from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt, when Luke's X-Wing and the Millenium Falcon blasted away from Tatooine, the whole audience cheered. Seeing the first three Star Wars films in theater as new movies was literally a Once in a Lifetime Experience.
Welcome to the Star Wars family. Been great watching your journey and reactions to it. Next it's on to episode 1-3.
10:24 If you like explosions, you should watch Gerry Anderson shows like Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Space: 1999. They've got loads of explosions.
Gerry Anderson LOVED to blow stuff up!
Hey Marie;
well i'm pretty excited about you……
I mean i just started looking at your reactions today,
but i can say that you're the first woman who doesn't cry at every emotional scene...my big respect and a relaxing Show
Thanks a lot
Greets and cheers
MIK
The actor playing Wicket the ewok, the 'teddy bear' that Leia met, was an 11-year-old Warwick Davis.
It was his first movie role. He went on to star in the movie Willow six years later.
One role I remember seeing him in was an episode of Doctor Who, during the Matt Smith era.
And leprechaun!
Um... Professor Flitwich in the Harry Potter Movies (plus the bank Goblin in Philosopher's Stone and Griphook in Deathly Hallows).
@@firstenforemostI wouldn't have known. I never watched any of the Harry Potter movies
First Trilogy, the OG Star Wars is complete 💗 love your reaction more and more, hugs and Happy Friday Queen 👑💗 lysm Miss Dawn Marie 😇🙏
Always love seeing your comment ❤️ thank you again! 🥰🥰
@@DawnMarieX the pleasure is mine 😇🙏
I love "a new hope" the most. I got to see Empire Strikes back in the theater (first movie I watched.) But things like all the aliens in the first movie, really got me. I would like to specify that I like the original versions over the special editions. The special editions did add some good things. But some of the things that were added didn't quite feel right to me.
Anyway, these reactions have been a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Dawn, this version was reedited by George in 1997 and 2005, he took out two scenes with puppets and music and replaced them with not so good cgi scenes, here are the links for those 2 scenes
Lapti Nek (jabba's palace band, Sy Snootles and the Max Rebo band) 1983 version

Yub Nub (the Ewoks singing a song at the end of the movie) 1983 version

There were a few other things added that shouldn't have been, such as Hayden Christensen at the end, or Vader shouting "Noooo...". In my opinion, they diminished things a bit. However, they did make some GOOD changes. Removing Vader's eyebrows is something trivial that actually needed doing. The galactic celebrations were nice, but kind of unrealistic... how would the whole galaxy know what happened so fast?
Mehh, just my own bias, I suppose.
Just stumbled across your Channel. I saw these films when they first came out in theaters. I was 13 when Jedi came out. It is wonderful to see younger generations enjoy theses gems. Consider me subscribed! Great reaction!
Going into Ep.1, keep in mind that it takes place before the Empire, so there's no Rebel Alliance and no Emperor yet. The ruling government is the Republic, which has a representative senate made up of delegates from every planet. The leader of the senate is the Supreme Chancellor, kind of like the President or Prime Minister of the whole galaxy. There is no military because there's been peace for a thousand years. Instead, the peace is kept by the Jedi Knights. The Jedi Order serves the Republic but it exists apart from it with its own traditions and rules. Centuries before, the Jedi wiped out their ancient enemies, the Dark Lords of the Sith.
However, by the time of Ep.1, the senate has become corrupt and wealthy corporations have a lot of influence in government. One of these is the Trade Federation, who appear to be the main villains of the next movie. But they are secretly in league with a familiar shadowy figure who is pulling the strings from behind the scenes, and whose existence even the Jedi are not aware of.
Some of this stuff is not explained very clearly and can pull you out of the movie. You may find it helpful to know some of this stuff going in.
"Once he finds out about Leia and Han...combined with the awesome music, it's gonna be hard for him to say no." HAHAHAHA🤣🤣 That and the affirmative head nod for the escape from Jabba's sail barge. Priceless.
5:31 - That twilek on the right resembles the one who sang on that galactic starcruiser video that Disney pulled .
You got me imagining Jabba saying,Yaaay, frirnds again.😆
I believe you have been very insightful at times, Dawn. Thank you for the reaction. I was a teenager when the first SW came out, and it absolutely changed movies forever.
Is it insight or just exposure to meme's and other material in the many decades since this movie aired in theaters. Anyone can be "insightful" without actually seeing the movie if they've been exposed to pop culture.
This is my favourite reaction video. Ever. As soon as you saw "Star Wars" in the opening credits and smiled & sighed it's exactly what I, and probably many other do when they see it. I'm guessing by now you've been told the little teddy bears are Ewoks. I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but the first Ewok you see that befriends Leia is called Wicket, and played by Hollywood legend Warwick Davies who's been in tons of blockbuster movies, including the Harry Potter films. He also presents Tenable on ITV. Anyway, I'm looking forward to your next Star Wars reaction video!
Haha Dawn’s reaction after Dart Vader’s mask got off *he looks like a egg* priceless.
Can’t wait for the *Space balls* reaction, her take on Dart Vader there 😆
There were a lot of arguments when it came to George Lucas changing the image of Anakin Skywalker's ghost at the end of the film. In the original release, the person we saw as a ghost was the same guy we saw when Luke took his mask off. But after the prequel trilogy was made, Lucas decided to replace his face with the Hayden Christiansen (Anakin from the prequels). I, personally like the change.
10:09 Yes. Yes, she does.
16:00 "I like them what's there names?"
Those are Ewoks, there are two made for TV movies that were made about them that came after this movie was shown in theaters because kids liked them so much. Me and my little sister liked watching them when we were kids. We even had little stuffed animal toys of them. The one princess Leia first met is named Wicket.
Aw right bonny lass 😺🙏
It's been fantastic watching you fall deeper and deeper in love with the Holy Trilogy! These days it's become hard to separate the films from all the surrounding hype and merchandise, and even to know if Star Wars is a good as one thinks, or if it's largely down to nostalgia... but seeing new viewers get just as swept up in the saga as we all were as kids gives me a certain sense of validation, and brings warm feelings to my heart ❤
Personally, my favourite of the three is Empire Strikes Back... but when I first saw it at about the age of 7, I thought it was really boring and didn't watch it again for years! Then I happened to catch it on TV when I was 13 and it just blew me away! It was so good and had so much depth to it that I missed the first time round, and it immediately became my favourite movie of all time. But of course, all three are amazing and I'll never get tired of watching them.
I hope you'll enjoy the prequels too, when you get round to them! Generally speaking, those who grew up with the originals weren't big fans of the prequel trilogy, but it seems that those who saw the prequels as kids or watch them now for the first time tend to enjoy them a lot more.
Ps. Lucas originally intended the Ewoks to be Wookiees like Chewie, but changed his mind for three reasons: the budget wouldn't stretch to having loads of them onscreen, it was going to prove nigh-impossible to find enough tall people to play them anyway, and Wookiees would be a formidable enemy for the Empire to fight, instead of being primitive underdogs in the final battle. Therefore Lucas cut them (and the name) in half and hey presto, we have the Ewoks!
"A croissant slug" 🤣🤣🤣 I love this description! 👍
Imagine seeing all that on a large movie theater screen with stereo sound. It was a trip!!
The endings were always dreaded & surprising. 🙂
Love the look of pride when correctly remembering how many languages C-3PO speaks. You have officially become a true Star Wars nerd.
THANK you for that.
You bring such a refreshing glee and enthusiasm and awe to your reaction vids, I hope you get more subscribers, you deserve them all :)
Loved that you loved it. I was drawn in since the 80s. May the force be with you!
Welcome to Star Wars! It's been great seeing a fellow Scot seeing these and falling in love with them, hope you get as much enjoyment out of them as I have over the years! Rogue One is an amazing film, I'd recommend watching that and then watching A New Hope straight after, as it adds a lot to it.
Now you can watch and appreciate Spaceballs. I enjoyed watching you seeing these for the first time - it’s great fun 'seeing' the movies again through new eyes. Seeing them originally in the theatre was amazing as there really hadn’t been anything like them before. Watching that seemingly never ending star destroyer pass overhead in the first movie had everyone in the theater collectively holding their breath.
Really love looking at star wars together with you 😃❤ looking forward to the next one 🙏
Wanting to keep watching them over and over is the graduation point. Congrats 👏
😃🌸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Awesome watching your Star wars reactions! Can't wait for watching your journey through this amazing saga. Welcome friend.
So enjoyed watching you experience the three films. Ep IV is my first film memory (being in the car with my parents at the drive-in when I was two! It's just little flashes of memory but I watched them years later as a tween and they make me so nostalgic.) It makes me so happy to see new generations of people enjoy something so special to me and countless others. Can't wait to see the other six films in the story. Have a lovely day! (Matt, Sydney AUS)
Really enjoyed watching you experience these for the first time. There’s so much more to go. Wait until you’re about to watch the new shows that have been coming out over the last couple of years. They’re some of the best Star Wars stories since these last three movies you just watched. Thanks Dawn!
For those of us who saw the movies when they were new, this was the first time we saw Jabba. The scene in A New Hope was shot, but with a fat guy in a fur coat. George Lucas had thought about inserting a puppet Jabba in the scene, but he couldn't come up with a design that worked and that he was happy with. And strictly speaking, the scene wasn't really necessary, so he dropped it. When he made the Special Editions in 1997, he restored the scene and made a CGI Jabba. He later improved the CGI rendering for the Blu-ray release, but it was still different from the practical Jabba that always had been in Return of the Jedi.
For a long time I went back and forth between this and Empire being my favorite. I finally settled on Empire being my favorite but it was back and forth for years. So many great parts about this one still.
I love this trilogy so much it has such a great story. One of my favourite subtle things is Luke's clothes. HE starts off wearing white to symbolise the light side and hope. In Jedi he wears black a sign he might turn to the dark side. The at the end he makes his choice and a bit of white underneath becomes visible. Symbolising he could have turned but there was good underneath waiting to come out, and did after he had chosen to be a Jedi. The fact only three people knew who Darth Vader really was is crazy. Even the actor playing Vader didn't know he delivered a different line whilst filming. Mark Hamill knew to give the right response then James Earl Jones knew when he went to record Vader's lines. So only four people knew and had to keep it a secret and they did. Thats just one of many reasons I love this trilogy. Shame secrets can't be kept like this these days. Great reaction and I'm so glad you enjoyed the trilogy. Just goes to prove how great movies stay great and pick up new fans over the generations.
I always thought Luke wore black so the Emperor couldn’t see him shitting himself. 🤔
Great reactions to the trilogy. Actually LOL'd at the "of course she is... she's the only girl in the movie."
5:47 At the end of the last film, Luke got his han’ back. At the beginning of this film, Leia gets her Han back. Such symmetry! 🥰
Mel Brooks’ “Spaceballs” was made only after these original three, so you are safe to watch it now. There are other sci-fi film references, but don’t think it’s worth waiting to run across watching them.
If you ever decide to watch Mel Brooks’ “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”, make sure to watch “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” first.
8:29 😄 Oh, this music. It's like someone's about to turn on the hydraulics and make one of these airships _bounce._ 😄
Little Bears are known as Ewoks. One of the Ewoks befriends Leia (Carrie Fisher), Wicket is played then kid actor, Warick Davis who was 11 years old when this movie being filmed. Davis has been in movies since 1983 and continues today. Besides being in movies, Davis runs a talent agency for little people with his father-in-law.
Terry Gilliam's "Time Bandits" also featured a few of the Ewok actors. Gilliam himself has said that those actors end up in full costume for films, so he gave them a chance to show audiences who they actually were.
I just remembered another scifi movie you might not have seen: The Fifth Element. It's one of my favourites, some action, some comedy, some weirdness, some scary and a stunning musical number.
If you watch the Prequels, the shows and side moves come after. The shows do have certain characters and connecting subplots, so it'd be recommended to watch them in timeline order:
The Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett.
Clone Wars is out of order, so there's a chronological order list for that online.
Who you saw under Vader's mask wasn't the same person in the suit the rest of the time. David Prowse was in the suit for the majority of the Vader scenes in the trilogy, Sebastian Shaw was Anakin for the face reveal (and ghost before the remasters).
I first read that as "Sebastian Stan" Ha!
@@bannonstanks tbh I very almost wrote that! :D
Trivia: Lucas had Jabba designed, based on the actor Sydney Greenstreet, who was a BIG man himself...he weighed at least 300 pounds.
There was an early scene showing Luke putting together a light saber, in what looks like Obi Won's old house in the desert, but it was taken out of the film b4efore release.
The way your face lights up when you see your 1st Ewok. - ¨Aaaaawww, it´s a teddy bear¨
10 seconds into this reaction you already had me smiling. I needed this. Thank you, dear. ;)
While I totally understand you wanting to seek out more info about these movies, I HIGHLY recommend waiting until after you've watched Episodes I - III because they will answer a lot of your questions.
I have never seen anyone get the Princess Leah thing early. Good job
I had to skip back a bit in this clip because I missed so much of it holding my belly, rolling on the floor, banging my head in the furniture, howling and pissing my tiger onesie of laughter after "OK, I lied. The imperial walkers aren't the worst in this." You are quite a delight! And yes, he is a wonky looking bugger, that one! xD
I need "I do like an explosion. Kaboom!" on my soundboard lmao
"He looks like an egg". I just about lost it.
Don't you dare kill Salacious B. Crumb!
Lol!
Great reaction as usual!
He was eating C3POs eyes!!!!! 😭 thank you for watching 😜
Such fun commentary, great time!
the teddy bears were called ewoks, the main one that befriended Leia was called Wicket, he was played by Warwick Davis the host from Tenable (tv Show)
12:52 Dawn: "He needs some fruit and veg or something not looking very healthy..." When a Scottish person says that you know you're in trouble! 😅
17:04 "I'm not even going to say what his face looks like!"😂
That reminded me of seeing this in the cinema as a kid. My friend noticed that the Rebel Admiral 18:31 bares a striking resemblance to a turd and I said I think his name is Admiral Schitz. As ten year olds this had us giggling for the rest of the movie every time he came on the screen. lol
I’ve never heard anyone describe Jabba as a “croissant-slug”. But I’m here for it 😂
Well, the original trilogy was _first_ released in '77, '80 and '83. I know the originals can be bought off of Amazon (in the US), but otherwise, I don't know if they can still be found, because the originals were touched up and _re-released_ in '97, with the special effects updated. _Episode V,_ though, was _so_ close to what they had in mind that it was hardly changed, so I understand its popularity.
I don't think I can fairly assess which is my favorite, though, because the _full_ effect comes from being emotionally invested in Luke but not knowing, until he reveals it himself, that Darth is his father. I don't know that I've ever _had_ such a time in my life because I've grown _up_ with _Star Wars._
Another great reaction from Dawn Marie Anderson. Keep going with the reactions
😃❤️🤓 so awesome. Now, at the end, do you understand. It’s so beyond you know, the feeling of a huge OG Star Wars fan to see another person truly seeing it for first time and loving it. Can’t wait till you watch more until the current stories and shows.
So awesome you loved the 3 originals that I grew up loving! And I' m serious about the extended universe with the novels. I've been a fan since I was 7 years old (1977).
A great reaction, as always. You have a knack for predicting what's coming up with a fairly high degree of accuracy. It's fun to watch.
Carrie Fisher (along with Sigourney Weaver from Alien/Aliens) really set the bar for what female characters could be.
Thanks again, Miss Dawn Marie! Now I'm off to get a croissant slug.... Mmmm.
lol. I have to admit I laughed out loud at one point in the video. The celebration on the planet at the end, with the Ewoks about.."Ah.. that music's awesome." I agree with you! But...... I'm old enough to have seen the film when it first premiered and I can ASSURE you that the music, in the same scene, in that first cut....was BY NO MEANS AWESOME! Changing that particular piece of soundtrack was just one in a myriad of changes Lucas made to the series "on further consideration." If you can find the first cut...take a listen to the "original Ewok party music." It....was...horrific. On this same theme it is common to point out that the original trilogy of Star Wars that you can buy off the shelf today in any store are NOT the original movies as they were made. Which speaks to Lucas's determination to rework the movies, changing soundtracks, inserting (or deleting) scenes, and re releasing the films with a lot of reworks. It's a common complaint and there are many online discussion boards that bemoan the fact, and it is a fact, that it is nearly impossible today to find a copy of the original Star Wars movies as they existed when they were first made and released. Sorry for going on about it, but, its true. What you see today are not the films they once were.
You're accent is mesmerising... I could listen to you talk for hours on end. :)
Congratulations. You've taken your first step into a much larger world.
Also feel free to skip the sequels. And along with Rogue One and the Disney plus material, watch the despecialized/unaltered/non revisionist version of the original trilogy that you just saw.
The ''Despecialized'' versions restore the films to the way they were originally enjoyed by millions since the 70s and 80s. Until George recut them in 1997 by awkwardly inserting dated CGI, changing dialogue, and swapping actors where they weren't before. Along with many other changes. Most of them bad.
Thanks for sharing your reaction. I'm happy you enjoyed them so much. It's always great to re-experience these movies through someone else's eyes. 🙂
That scene near the end with Jeff Goldblum was from episode IV
The Empire song you like so much is played a lot at college and high school American football games by the school's bands.
Return of the Jedi was the first Star Wars film I saw at the cinema. It is my all time favourite and it's great to see your reaction to it. The power of the Force is strong in you. You'll be a powerful Jedi!!!
