FYI: I had to watch Forrest before this one. LOL Yes - each and every movie (or most will) let you know 'everything in due time.' Each and every movie is a universe unto its own, to be experienced! I was 14 years old and had just over $50 from my birthday earlier in the month when it was released; movie tickets where about $2.00. I don't doubt a lot of marketing and advertising was done here in Los Angeles at the time, but not in Seattle, WA. It wasn't till the week before opening that we got the banners: "Star Wars" coming soon at the theaters and the news papers too! "Star Wars" coming soon was all that there was! Nothing more. So I thought: "A war in the stars! I want to see that!!!" On Saturday May 28th I went by myself to see it. There was like 20 or 30 people total with me. From when the lights dimmed out and the screen opened till the very last credits... It was an Adventure of a lifetime! No movie was soo captive, soo adventurous, soo mind blowing with its effects! The whole gambit of what makes up "the Cinematic Experience" was totally re-written with this one movie! When it was over I asked one of the theater people: "Where can I buy one of those light sabers" "I don't think they make them." I tried to convince my friends to go see it, even after offering to pay for everything! Nope - So I went again that Sunday May 29th! Again barely anyone there - maybe 20! Then that Tuesday May 31st the reviews came out on the Seattle P.I. Throughout that week I tried to get my friends to go, they finally accepted if I bought them lunch at McDonalds! So we went! This is when the grew - two blocks long! I went that Sunday too! Again - long lines. I wanted to go one more time but decided against it. What you see today is not the original movie period! According to wiki it's been edited 4 or 5 times; but there was one more edit that seems to have gone without notice; like right before Empire Strikes Back. In my head it was: "cleaning up of visual effects to make it look better." FACT: For visual effects it was mind blowing to say the least! There was only one scene where there was maybe 0.3 seconds of artificing around a Star Destroyer! Most people probably didn't notice it. “Adding” external pictures that are external to the movie… Yikes! Younger generations may like it… No! It’s your reaction to this movie… “Pulling ‘facts’ from a different movie into ‘this current one’ is a no-no.’ Han did shoot first! Not what you’re seeing. A lot of what you’re seeing wasn’t in the Theatrical Edition. If memory serves me only the Red VHS is close. Others say 2006 edition is as close as you’re gonna get. I haven’t viewed any of these others to see if anyone’s correct or not. Some where some site said there were like 5 or 6 edits, but there was one more prior to Empire. Still a bit over the top. Some where in the 90's I took a look back at the movies. From the late 1960's towards the end of the 1980's is: "Thee Golden Age of Cinema!" In part due to "Star Wars" (1977). This and soo many more have and are standing the test of time.
How can you not like C3-PO? He plays the perfect foil for R2-D2 and his shenanigans. He's meant to be annoying, but he comes through when he's needed. And he's loyal. Like your best frenemy.
C-3P0 pretends not to know Princess Leia because Luke had not made clear which side of the rebellion he was on. Moments earlier, he asked 3P0 if the droids had _"been in many battles?",_ to which 3P0 vaguely responds with, _"Several I think. Actually, there's not much to tell."_ Princess Leia was indeed a member of the Imperial Senate as she told Vader after her capture, but was one of the leaders of the rebellion. Basically, she was their "inside man," and could use her influence in the Senate to serve the rebel cause. So all members of the rebellion - including the droids - were instructed to protect Leia's identity so as to avoid exposing her being a rebel.
Funny she said ." yes Dracula" wonder if that was a lucky coincidence and Christopher Lee the guy who played Dracula in several movies was in a couple of the newer movies. And Peter Cushing here was Grand Moff Tarken played Van Helsing
Great reaction! The beginning is introducing us to the story, characters, background. Without that context, the high stakes later doesn’t have nearly the meaning. Not every second needs to be urgent. Older movies teach us patience and helps to value the narrative better for emotional weight. Can’t wait to see you watch the rest of the original trilogy and then the prequels afterward!
@@brianlafrazia8237 thanks so much! It’s true, world building does play a crucial role in the gut punch emotional moments. Rewatching it just makes me a bit impatient cause of all the excitement I remember from the action scenes and I’m excited for my wife to see them too😂. Appreciate you & the kind words! Thanks so much for watching🙏
-15:47 - Jedi traditionally were not given their lightsabers but had to build them as part of their final trials to be Jedi. This saber that Obi-wan gives Luke is special...and you will see why much later! - Dracula! 🤣Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin) played Van Helsing, Dracula's nemesis, in the low-budget Hammer Studio horror films in the 1960s. His Dracula was his real life best friend, Sir Christopher Lee (Saruman in Lord of the Rings, and a different Star wars character in the Prequel Trilogy). He also played Doctor Who in a couple of big-screen movies in the 1960s. Most of the time, Cushing played good guys. - 25:12 - Yeah, you guys are watching the Special Editions which were started in 1997 and finished in 2005, as Lucas kept tweaking them with the releases of the Prequel Trilogy (Episodes 1-3). Jabba was originally a human in a fur-lined coat, but the scene was cut from the original version. Please keep up with your journey...it is worth it!
I was 13 years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre. The special effects were amazing and ahead of it's time. The Movie was originally just called Star Wars. George Lucas did not know if he would be allowed to make more Star Wars Movies. It was renumbered Episode IV when episode V The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980. George Lucas started with the first movie of his Middle Trilogy. The scene where Han Solo is at the intercom talking was improvised. Harrison Ford did not get that part of the script in time so he just improvised and George Lucas liked it.
@@glennallen239 that’s so awesome! The special effects really are insanely good & we think they still hold up today! What an experience that must’ve been to see it in theaters when it released! Can’t even imagine what that would’ve been like if he couldn’t continue making more! We would’ve really missed out on some of the best movies of all time! So glad he got to continue! & that’s so cool haha!! Harrison Ford is the man😎
The scene with Han talking to Jabba the Hut was not in the original release of this film in 1977. The scene was shot with Han just talking to another man, but they had never decided what Jabba looked like, or how to animate him. The scene was included in the re-release some 30 or so years later.
After reacting to special editions of the Original Trilogy try finding a Despecialized Edition of the Original Trilogy and react to those you’ll see a lot of differences. These versions are as they originally appeared in theaters, no extended scenes, no cgi, and no alternate dialogue, just practical effects, puppetry, original sounds, and dialogue, and very very early cgi. This is also how they originally appeared on VHS.
Remember all the news showing people who had seen the movie multiple times? I remember seeing people on TV being interviewed by the news reporters while standing in line at the movie theater to see the movie saying they'd seen it like 17 times and stuff like that.
That guy you called Dracula actually played Dracula's nemesis Van Helsing back in the day. And Dracula was played by his best friend in real life--Christopher Lee.
The "Academy" Luke wanted to attend was the Imperial Academy. There is no "academy" for the Rebel Alliance; good pilots who dislike the Empire usually volunteer to join the Rebellion. Regarding the "Why didn't they do what Han did?" at the end... Understand how battle strategy works. Before I get into the explanation, let me preface it by saying all of the battles in the OT were modeled on real-world battle strategies, this one particularly from WWII. Now for the explanation: The Rebels were already overmatched going into this, so they had to split up their forces into small groups and then have those groups engage the Empire far away from the trench in isolated regions. The idea was to draw turret fire and TIE Fighters away from the trench where Gold Squadron was making it's run for the exhaust port (Red Leader _literally_ says this on their approach: _"I'm going to cut across the axis and try and draw their fire.")_ It make no tactical sense under these circumstances to commit one or two X-Wings to air cover for Gold Squadron, since the skies above are crowded with laser fire from surface turrets. Your two "air cover" X-Wings wouldn't survive long enough to provide cover for all attempted runs (unless Gold Squadron miraculously manages to bull's eye it on their first attempt), so you basically just sent two pilots to their doom for nothing, and now you have no other ships to spare for air support. Plus, having two X-Wings hovering around above the trench providing air cover would literally put them square in everyone's crosshairs, so now you're drawing fire and enemy fighters TOWARDS THE TRENCH! Are you TRYING to sabotage this thing?? That's the nitty gritty of real-world battlefield tactics; just because something seems *_obvious_* doesn't mean it's *_tactically sound,_* especially when you're outgunned and outmanned. To have even a fleeting chance at victory, tacticians must formulate plans that maximize the chances of success. Having everyone stick around near the trench means you're bringing the entire Imperial fleet down on your trench guys.
Yoooooo great reaction, instant sub! I think you might be the only SW reaction who actually was psyched that Darth Vader was going out to fly too lol 47:53
@@Wae2Reel The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite. It’s more emotional and leaves you wanting more. The original Star Wars was self-contained because no one knew how it was going to do.
A good rule of thumb is if the effect is CGI, it was added later. The only CGI possible in the 70s was the Death Star schematic. Rudimentary geometry. @@Wae2Reel
In the original version of this movie, the scene with Jabba waiting for Han Solo at the Millennium Falcon was not in the final cut. I saw an unedited version of the scene, and in it Jabba was played by an actual human actor and Harrison Ford walked around behind him as you saw in the updated scene. So, when they added the CGI version of Jabba, they had to incorporate that into the scene and did some movie magic to make Han step up and onto Jabba's tail as he walked around behind him. Also in the original version Han shoots first, killing Greedo "in cold blood" which Lucas later decided was not in character for the good guy Han ends up being The stormtroopers are canonically very good shots, but because most of the time we see them shooting at main characters with unvulnerable plot armor, they appear to be awful marksmen.
Uncle Owen thinks he's doing the right thing by protecting Luke from what's going on outside. High class British used to roll their Rs a lot more than they do today.
43:04 They actually did make a couple of video games out of Star Wars. One was the fighter defense (where you had to shoot tie fighters using the grid Han and Luke used), an arcade game that cost quarters to play, and the other one for the Atari 2600 home gaming console, where you had to navigate the trench and successfully dodge the pillars, crossbeams and incoming fire to reach the exhaust port.
I think C-3PO didn't really knew who Princess Leia was, he says that she was "a passenger, a person of some importance", he was just a droid. I was the Administrator (Director) of two theaters, and even I could recognized people as part of the production team, but not know who they were and what exactly was they're function. Remember that the prequels came after, and created a lot of plot holes... if you know what I'm talking about.
Sorry, just wanted to add one more thing. The beginning is slow, but it gives you a half hour to 40 minutes to get to know the characters, so for the second half, you’re so invested in them, its satisfying when they succeed. Most movies dont do that anymore. They jump right into the action immediately, and modern movies just dont make me care about the characters most of the time. To make a good movie, that 1st half hour is crucial. Who is our protagonist? What does he/she want? Why are they the way they are? (Their past) what do they have to overcome to make us care? Its important.
I first saw Star Wars at age 10, I always found C-3PO tedious & unfunny until I hit my fifties, I find him hilarious now. Never thought I’d say that ever.
OK OK NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT IS FOR THEM TO REACT TO EPISODES 5 AND 6, THEN EPISODES 1,2,3 AND THEN ROGUE ONE AND IF YOU WANT TO SEE FROM THIS EPISODE 4 THE FIGHT BETWEEN OBI-WAB KENOBI AND DARTH VADER REIMAGINED AND REMASTERED, SEE Star Wars SC 38 Reimagined IT'S EXCELLENT 🤗
I was 2 years old when I saw it. They had no babysitter lol. You kinda have to give C3PO a break. He can be annoying, but its like a gimmick. Him and R2D2 are like an old married couple. Love-hate. The grumpy naive one, and the feisty smart one. They’re like a couple. Hope that helps. And by the way, HAN SHOT FIRST!
How would you two like to see a movie with Carrie Fisher's (Princess Leia) mom? If so, take a look at the movie, Singing In The Rain (1952) It's a musical and Carrie Fisher's mom, Debbie Raynolds is the same age in it as Carrie was in Star Wars, 19.
"Star Wars": Two youngsters are boarding the "Tantive IV." What will they make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered, jargon-filled, no-DFX" movie? I suggest you watch subsequent "Star Wars" movies in Release Order, to see how DFX/CGI advances through the years created this fantastic world. But then, "chronological order" may be preferred to see rise of "The Phantom Menace."
Nice. Just so you know, when this first came out it wasn't called 'A New Hope'. It was simply "Star Wars". Although initially written as a part of a larger storyline, there was very very little confidence at the time that a movie such as this would be remotely successful. And C3P0 only nowadays ( apparently...) would be called 'toxic', whereas in reality, he's just expressive. That was not only allowed, but common until recently. On a related note, back in the 80's a theory grew that it was actually the 2 droids that are the actual protagonists of this saga. I still agree with it.
Someone synched up a cassette recording of the audience from 1977 with an older VHS version. This looks like the 80's home version. It is definitely before Lucas did the 1997 CGI update. ua-cam.com/video/PzRveOGMflo/v-deo.html
this is 19 years after the events of (the prequel) episode III, the ancient galactic republic together with galactic liberty has fallen!! as result of the Clone Wars, and what emerges from its ashes to replace it is a new galactic political super-power which has consolidated the remaining supporting star systems (political bodies) into unified Empire, controlled by the most ancient evil (thought extinct) - the Sith, unbeknownst .. all other star systems which fell away are sympathetic & loyal to foundations of a free republic and its ancient protectors (the Jedi) which have all but been exterminated, closely untaken by the emperors most loyal servant Darth Vader, .. this story begins with the empire in hot pursuit of rebel spies who managed to steal the plans for the most powerful weapon “The Death Star (planet killer) as the movie unfolds it explains that the only chance to restore freedom lies within the bloodline of the Skywalker family who are literally … the last Hope ..
C3P0 is an awesome character. Older generations liked salty characters. They didn't expect everyone to be "nice". That's boring. The best characters often have an attitude. That's why Simon Cowell used to be good but now he kind of sucks. Real is better. Phony nice sucks.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago there was an oppressive regime in the star system we know as the Orion system. There were wars of conquest and rebellion. These movies tap into our racial memory of that ancient past.

Actually Sodium Pentethal is the closest thing to truth serum.
"Yes, Dracula"
you like vader?then you will surely like dark helmet("spacebowls")... when the time comes! 😉
Anthony Daniels based his C-3PO character on a proper English butler.
@@THOMMGB oh! We can see that!
Great reaction guys!! Subscribed!! And of course I´ll follow you in this larger world!
I was 2 years old when I saw it. They had no babysitter lol. You kinda have to give C3PO a break. He can be annoying, but its like a gimmick. Him and R2D2 are like an old married couple. Love-hate. The grumpy naive one, and the feisty smart one. They’re like a couple. Hope that helps. And by the way, HAN SHOT FIRST!
Honestly, I would have fired on the escape pod whether it had life forms in it or not.
@@TheHessian123 THIS! 1000% agreed!
You guys MUST continue with the STAR WARS saga. It would be a tragedy if you did not continue.
You need to watch the six movies, then watch Spaceballs. 😊
How would you two like to see a movie with Carrie Fisher's (Princess Leia) mom? If so, take a look at the movie, Singing In The Rain (1952) It's a musical and Carrie Fisher's mom, Debbie Raynolds is the same age in it as Carrie was in Star Wars, 19.
Oh wow didn’t know her mom was an actress too
That was a Dewback.
You guys are great! Subscribed
Thank you!
Hello best friends great choice and like always, a great reaction! May the force be with you! 😊
@@Nono78A thank you 🙏!! Appreciate you!!
Can't wait for your reaction to Empire Strikes Back!!! 😈
@@mattdavis7876 thank you🙏! We’re excited too! We’ll update you guys when we post it🙌!
"Star Wars": Two youngsters are boarding the "Tantive IV." What will they make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered, jargon-filled, no-DFX" movie? I suggest you watch subsequent "Star Wars" movies in Release Order, to see how DFX/CGI advances through the years created this fantastic world. But then, "chronological order" may be preferred to see rise of "The Phantom Menace."
@@Otokichi786 we loved it and super stoked to watch episode v 😆😆!!
Nice. Just so you know, when this first came out it wasn't called 'A New Hope'. It was simply "Star Wars". Although initially written as a part of a larger storyline, there was very very little confidence at the time that a movie such as this would be remotely successful. And C3P0 only nowadays ( apparently...) would be called 'toxic', whereas in reality, he's just expressive. That was not only allowed, but common until recently. On a related note, back in the 80's a theory grew that it was actually the 2 droids that are the actual protagonists of this saga. I still agree with it.
They did save them from the trash compactor and had the plans to the Death Star! So it’s a good theory
Everyone I've ever known, young and old, find C3P0 entertaining...certainly never heard anyone say he's toxic, that's an overreaction.
Elon Musk named his Falcon 9 rocket after the millennium Falcon in Star Wars
Someone synched up a cassette recording of the audience from 1977 with an older VHS version. This looks like the 80's home version. It is definitely before Lucas did the 1997 CGI update.

Keep going 👍
Why does every female reactor think Harrison Ford is SOOOOOOO Handsome? Is it because he is so handsome?
Where did you guys watch this? Why are the Imperial lasers red? They should be green.
Just called STAR WARS.
@@yournamehere6002 yeah someone mentioned this earlier in the comments & how they added the name
this is 19 years after the events of (the prequel) episode III, the ancient galactic republic together with galactic liberty has fallen!! as result of the Clone Wars, and what emerges from its ashes to replace it is a new galactic political super-power which has consolidated the remaining supporting star systems (political bodies) into unified Empire, controlled by the most ancient evil (thought extinct) - the Sith, unbeknownst .. all other star systems which fell away are sympathetic & loyal to foundations of a free republic and its ancient protectors (the Jedi) which have all but been exterminated, closely untaken by the emperors most loyal servant Darth Vader, ..
this story begins with the empire in hot pursuit of rebel spies who managed to steal the plans for the most powerful weapon “The Death Star (planet killer) as the movie unfolds it explains that the only chance to restore freedom lies within the bloodline of the Skywalker family who are literally … the last Hope ..
Oh ok 19 years…thanks for giving more context and back story
He doesn't have asthma....
"McKlunky"
*sigh*
C3P0 is an awesome character. Older generations liked salty characters. They didn't expect everyone to be "nice". That's boring. The best characters often have an attitude. That's why Simon Cowell used to be good but now he kind of sucks. Real is better. Phony nice sucks.
Why she's running her mouth all the time smh
Complaining about talking on a reaction video smh
Hundreds of thousands of years ago there was an oppressive regime in the star system we know as the Orion system. There were wars of conquest and rebellion. These movies tap into our racial memory of that ancient past.
You should started off with the Star Wars Prequel trilogy first
@@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb yeah, we went with the movie release order
Luke Skywalker father is Darth Vader

@@suzannehammer4944 she’s just really invested 😎
No Luke...I am your father. OOOOPP!
