Are you gonna do the rest of the OG trilogy?
CinemaWins do Narnia
Hey bro. Do the Fountain. Great movie and a great graphic novel. I'm sure the film is a wife win for sure.
PLEASE tell me that after Jedi you're gonna make Skull Island. Also, for the MCU to be complete (up to the point of your videos of it), you're still missing Edward Norton's Hulk.
Anyone else want to see Terminator and/or Terminator 2?

Luke: "how did my father die?"
Obi-wan: "he wasn't very good at the floor is lava"
No no no no, nah. Nope. It's 'he didn't have a really high ground'.

@@devannshmishra6058 I think he’s pointing out how he doesn’t really mention it too much. It’s one of the greatest cinema moments of ALL TIME. Worthy of Atleast 20
@@unknown_individual7050 he calls it iconic.
This bickering is pointless.
Just the fact that Leia had the balls to continue to lie to Vader when he literally saw her ship jump to hyperspace like a day ago.
He saw the plans get handed through a door to that ship too. I actually really like the ending of Rogue One for that.
Brett Martin As cool as Rogue One was, I don’t consider Disney’s films cannon by any means, she wouldn’t have done that if that was the case.
Mason R. Why? Cause they have bad writing? Or because, “DiSnEy BaD”? Star Wars is Star Wars. The only awful Disney SW film was Episode 8.
Chykn If you have the time to read, I’d be happy to go into detail
Mason R. Absolutely! Just please don’t act like most SW fans when someone doesn’t like their opinion and harass them.
R2 was never his co-pilot.
His droid died over Coruscant, 17 BBY
Press "F" to pay respect to R4-P17

correct R2-D2 was an astromech droid in the service of Padme.
19 BBY
I was gonna say the same thing. F
In the 2003 clone wars cartoon r4 belongs to Anakin
Never heard him say Carrie in the return, always thought it was an enthusiastic “Hey!”
The Incarnation of Sin looking for this comment! That’s what I thought too
If you listen to it in a way, it sounds like he says Leia, like it's probably supposed to be
He was saying “THERE SHE-“ as in “there she is!” (mark hamill has said this was the case on Twitter)
“You are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor! Take her away!”

@@jthomas6672 Well lack of originality is undeniable problem of this trilogy
It makes me cry nostalgia tears.
@@jthomas6672 But thats the problem of this trilogy it's only reactionary TFA was reaction for reception of preuqels, TLJ was reaction to reception of TFA and finally ROS was reaction to TLJ. There was very simple was to do this stop react to something and just try to create good movie. MCU for example gave fans lot of fanservice but at the same it did not bend to their every whim.
@@jthomas6672 You said exactly what I am thinking,"Damned if you do, damned if you don't"a.k.a, superhero movies are hated by the critics, but so are M Night Shymalan movies, the exact opposite of predictable.
There's a double meaning to "He died about the same time as your father."
I mean... "You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" Look at Obi-Wan's face in that scene and tell me he didn't just die, spiritually speaking.
Wouldnt be completely surprised if Obi-Wan was under the impression Vader was actually dead too, he did leaving him cut down to a torso falling into lava whilst on fire. Hearing anything about Vader and feeling him being alive for the next 20 years he may have tried to ignore or pass off.
@@barrylyndon5552 wow that's deep
Owen actually thought that Anakin was dead(canon)because thats what Obi Wan told him. He always blamed Obi Wan for his death, which is why Kenobi just watched from the distance to protect Luke.
Obi Wan had to have realized Vader was still alive sometime, otherwise he would have called him Anakin(he did call him that during his whole time on Mustafar, but went to calling him Vader in this one). I mean, depending, I know the twist wasn't planned in advance(just like it wasn't planned that Luke and Leia were siblings when they made out in "Empire").
@@barrylyndon5552 actually its canon that Obi-Wan learned about Anakin/Vader being still alive shortly after episode 3. He knew Anakins new name was Vader, and heard about him being the face of the empire in Mos Eisley. It sent him into a bit of a mad spiral cos he clearly felt guilt and failure at not properly killing him. It wasnt hard to put together given theres a guy in the empire with a life saving suit called Vader, the same name ur old padawan was given before u cut him up
@@phousefilms Lucas hinted at why Owen resented Obi-Wan in AOTC too he was excited to have a brother "I always wanted to have a brother" in a comic it shows how upset Owen was and he vented to Beru about wishing he can know who the great person Shmi spoke about
7:44
Luke: "I-I got - homework."
Obi-wan: "aight imma pretende you didn't say that."
lol
Let's also win Alec Guinness' acting. He was able to portray PTSD that we wouldn't know how he got it for over 20 years
20? Nearly 30 years. And i was STUNNED learning that Episode 1 was being made. Didnt have the chanze to see it in cinema back then. Thou i did make Episode 2 count hard XD if you get out of one screening, move to the counter and say "ep 2, one ticked please" THEN you know what a good movie is XD
The line "I can't see a thing in this helmet!" is actually a great ad-lib because the helmet prop wasn't made with eye holes.
Explaining why the stormtroopers have such bad aim. DING!
"Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan.... Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time."
"You know him?"
"No, it's just a name I haven't heard since before you were born."
I don't know this person
when, not before. So just edit out the word. Obi-Wan was there when Padme gave birth to the twins and died from doing so. Then he talked to a fellow Jedi about the choice of secret foster parents for Leia, while Luke was placed with his step grandfather's family.
Luke: how did my father die?
Obi-wan: let's just say I had the high ground...
It got too hot for him to handle. I heard he changed his wardrobe afterwards, but it cost him an arm and a leg

"He pushed his luck so I fucked him up."

Fun fact: In Sweden this movie is calles "Star Wars Stjärnornas krig" which means Star Wars Star Wars
In germany its called krieg der Sterne means the same
Let go see star wars star wars
I am also form sweden and I have never actually noticed that. Thx for telling me that.
At Iberoamerica it's "Las Guerras de las Galaxias" It's pretty inaccurate, but it still sound cool
Nope it just means star wars
When you said "The Real Hero" I was expecting to see the droid that blew himself up so that R2 would be picked instead of him, since he knew just how important it was that R2 was the one Luke left with. A solemn F for our fallen Hero.
As long as we're pouring one out for Skippy the Jedi Droid, let's not forget G0NK, the GNK power droid who was supposed to power the force field protecting the Death Star's exhaust port. He had a crisis of conscience and abandoned his post, allowing Luke's shot to go in.
There was a really fun theory that r2 essentially secretly shorted the other astromech out so Luke would pick him instead
@@tezlaactual6582 it's been confirmed in a comic or sth that r2 just told him what was going on

Anakin SkyWalker I think he's going by Steve now.
Obi-Wan Kenobi? I wonder if she means old Obi-WAN Kenobi.
That man is just a crazy old wizard
How in the world did Alec Guinness manage to convey so perfectly with his eyes the events and trauma that even Lucas hadnt fully fleshed out yet?
I suspect he was given the backstory that Anakin followed Obi-Wan to fight in the Clone Wars, and this resulted in his death, whether he was killed by Darth Vader or Obi-Wan.
Introduced to this movie as an adult, Vader’s voice sounded comically villainish it took all the intimidation from his character.
Then he started force choking people and his intimidation was QUICKLY restored
Then he gets even more refined going into V, then even more refined in VI
He;
's one of those rare villains who genuinely means what he says and isn't bluffing.
@@thebighurt2495 Vader was never bluffing. Except for the "You underestimate my power." line from ROTS.
For me it was when he full on picks up a man and then chucks him into a wall
That’s what makes the council scene so brilliant
Is Mark Hamill always a win yet? He should be.
uhm EXCUSE ME
"only has 3 good movies" are you out of your mind?
What about Kingsman?
The Trickster on The Flash?
Or his Endless amount of VA work?
Firelord Ozai?
Colonel Muska?
Alvin the Treacherous?
his countless guest appearances in various cartoons like regular show or adventure time?
and for christs sake is Mark Hamill not the Joker? because for me he 100000% is!
if we just count movies though and ones where he is one of the main focuses hes not got a great record, however in the VA and cartoon stuff he kills it

7:14
Luke: "How did my father die?"
Ben: "49 times we fought that beast; your old man and me. It had a chicken head with duck feet... with a woman's face, too."
Man... Bad Lip Reading has forever damaged that scene for me. Thanks, BLR! :)
Look at the win counter as he says that
It was waiting in the bushes for us.....ripped off your dad's face, he was screaming something awful. In fact, there was this huge mess, we had to change the floors.
The floors?
You see his blood, it drained into the boards and we had to change them, but we've all got a chicken-duck-woman thing waiting for us........(AWESOME CHORUS TIME!)
Fun fact: The Mythbusters confirmed the scene where Luke and Leia swing across the gap as being possible. It's also one of my favorite scenes.
You know, I've started watching the Clone Wars and they often say "I've got a bad feeling about this". And every time. EVERY TIME I say "No feelings were harm in the filming of this scene"
19:15
Has it even been confirmed that Mark actually said “Carrie” accidentally?
I’ve always just heard “HEY!”
I've seen the scene analyzed relentlessly. Played over and over, slowed down, and the remark from Hamill say that he indeed just said "HEY". Not even like he was supposed to say "Leia" and accidentally said "Carrie".
He clearly says hey.
Mark Hamill in an interview said that part is actually dubbed. George lucas asked him what he said when his lips moved there and Mark said he was pretty sure he said "there she is"
def heard Hey as well
He does not say Carrie or Hey he says "There she" and the line was cut short, he was supposed to say "there she is" this is from an interview with Mark Hamill
I LOVE Star Wars saga

by jj you mean jar jar right?

I heard that Vader was actually being very careful during his duel with Obi-Wan, as he had lost to him before when he in better shape.
Yeah, I like that the scene makes sense knowing that Kenobi nearly killed him the last time they fought.
@@danielkorladis7869 yup The only time Vader shows any rage was when he does his Vader slash and hits the wall (like he did against Obi-Wan in the separatist room in ROTS)
Vader was 0-2 against Obi-wan and probably lost countless times as Anakin while training. His entire life, Obi-wan was always one step ahead with the bigger picture.
@@callmeshaggy5166 cope however you want virgin
I prefer the re-imagined scene of the Obi-Wan vs. Darth Vader fight. Too bad Lucas didn't film one like that for the Special Edition.
Carrie saying "Luke!" and Mark saying "Carrie!" at 19:13 is SO WHOLESOME and just warms my soul
Makes me wonder how it got past so many people to make it into the movie.🤔 Clearly the people who made it didn't watch it before it was released.
@@susanscott8653 Or they heard what they expected to hear.
The Expanded Universe already provided a brilliant resolution to why a short distance on the Kessel Run is something to brag about: in between the two planets, there is a massive black hole cluster, and it's tricky to pilot near one of those. So, making the trip in a shorter distance means flying close to the black holes, thus confirming both your skill and your ship's quality.
Klaus von Zeit and that is a great and original explanation. It is a shame that eu was scrapped.
I always took it as hyperspace is the compression of normal space. So if the Kessel Run was 100 light years and the hyperdrive compressing it down to 12 parsecs, that is pretty impressive.
But hey, if that is the official reasoning, it works.
Wasn't that explicitly stated in one of the earlier script revisions?
actually flying closer to a blackhole would be not only insanely dangerous, buuuuut, it would make the trip faster, the blackholes would create super powerful inescapable zones of destruction, and he basically flew in between the blackholes, that is insane, and more to the point he was sling shotting around them as if they were planets to sling shot around, not only insane, but likely he was running for his life from something.
and yes in theory, black holes are compressions of space, but we really dont know for sure, do we, but the theory goes two ways, its compressing space, and its also possibly the bridge effect where black holes as they become dense enough to form may or may not reach out of our universe to another layer of space, perhaps even reaching towards whereever gravity is coming from, its possible black holes are energy bridges that pull energy and bring it through a tunnel into a even larger blackhole or another universe or layer of space where it is consumed by some nightmarish thing we do not have a word for, or is possibly left floating outside of a white hole which mysterious to its viewers, if thier can be anything living in such a universe with randomly appearing energy and unknown physical laws, the white hole just appears with energy flaring out of it then presumably dissapears again or returns to its normal light which might be what a blackhole would look like if it wasnt sucking all matter through, maybe its like a glowing vortex of plasma that moves so fast it disrupts realizty itself and creates time dilation and spacial compression.
but really its all crazy theories
so yes... the kessel run being faster and in less space and time is related to black holes.
so you can say george lucas is lieing if that makes you feel better, but chances are he is really smart and knows a bit of science, especially after all the life he has lived, all the things he has done, and the companies he has run etc
John Williams is ALWAYS a win!
19:15 omg I literally never noticed that he says "Carrie" instead of "Leia".
One of my favourite things will always be that first scene, where the Tantive IV flies over and you think "oh that's a cool spaceship I wonder how big it is."
Then the Star Destroyer appears.
And it just keeps going...
And going...
AND GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG...
If you think that's great, see the similar scene in _Spaceballs._
I always thought Luke was saying "HEY!!". He was saying "Carrie"?
You are correct, he wasn't saying "Carrie". Mark Hamill himself debunked this rumour a few years ago.
Ok, so I'm not going crazy!:D
Themajesticmoose yeah it didn't sound like he said Carrie
Either "Yay!" or "Hey!". Never heard it as "Carrie".
"Yay!" or "Nay!", there is no "Carrie".

6:35 "...also, he's old with one foot in the force" makes me giggle.
I watched Star Wars for the first time this year and A New Hope was really incredible. Just with its story telling and the fact that its the text book example of a Hero’e Journey. The characters are all excellent and as a movie that’s like 40 years old it really held up from me as a new viewer. I was recognizing pop culture lines that I’d never known the source for and I new a number of the scenes just from their legacy alone.
Welcome to the fan base. Now that you’re in you’ll never escape.
The effects in this movie were revolutionary for 1977. They may not look the best now; but their respectable, which is amazing in itself
R2 was Anakin's co-pilot. Obi-Wan's was R4. And neither of them owned either droid. So Obi-Wan isn't *technically* lying.
From a certain point of view...
@@No-One-of-Consequence
I guess the question is then, did Obi-Wan actually own R4? Or was it basically part of a pool of droids belonging to the Council that the Jedi could "sign out" for use on missions? The only Jedi I remember as having had personal droids from the Prequel material I've seen is Anakin.
Could also be lying deliberately so as not to feed Luke too much nostalgia for the past.
r2 did become obiwans after anikins betrayal
@@Mystickrage , no, he became Bail Organa's.
Obi Wan never owned R2, Anakin did, and before Ani the Naboo Gov't owned him.
Will Weichman he owned R4 and he said he NEVER owned a droid
@@jaded6530 Ah but there's the thing, Obi-Wan didn't actually own R4. They were just partners a couple times.
@SOFIA LEE (Student) I guess. But there's really no other way to think about it. Anakin is probably the only Jedi who owned his Droid copilot. Everyone else probably just had a Droid assigned to them by the quartermaster or whatever.
Leis wasn’t there (she wasn’t born yet)so she might have been confused about R2s background, or whomever told her was wrong.
R4 was officially property of the Republic tho. He was just assigned to Obi Wan
8:12 I've also always loved how you can feel Vader sigh as he turns to walk towards Motti. He doesn't march or even threateningly saunter. He's almost reluctant as if to say, "Will this little shit ever learn?"
Family Guy did it well,
"you dont believe in the force do you?"
"oh you mean that thing you learned about 3 hours ago and are now judging me for not believing in it?" lmao
Absolute win for Solo now, because he literally went less distance in the Kessel run making it be faster.
Time and space also, tend to get pretty wonky when you’re going light speed, so maybe going faster actually means you go less distance.
If they all travel with light speed then distance would definitely be a better measure than speed too
@Melkhiordarkblade Though Obi-wan would know the deal, he's been flying too long. Still he wouldnt bother to call him on it as he probably sensed Solo was exactly the kind of guy they were looking for.
_Absolute win for Solo now, because he literally went less distance in the Kessel run making it be faster._
What's great is that, thanks to _Solo_ BOTH interpretations of that line are true now. Han really did plot a course through the Kessel Run that covered less distance. But his course was just _over_ 13 parsecs, so he's still BS-ing when he claims he did it in "less than 12 parsecs."
A wild Filing cabinet Also if memory serves, there was a black hole involved so... physics get even wonkier when black holes get involved.
I think Han was just bullshitting Luke and Obi Wan to make the falcon seem better than it actually is so they’d hire Han and Chewie for more money than they should have
WHAT AN ICONIC MOVIE!!
Overrated *
Aron The Terminator Don't you mean his comment shouldn't even exist? Star Wars (along with the rest in the series) are some of the greatest films ever made!
Hunter iconic is an understatement! These are some of the most iconic, influential, and best movies ever made!!! GOD I can't wait for the Last Jedi!!!
@@diamondspiderproductions4844 Well....i didn't like it. Did you?
IN my head canon, the Death Star's weak point isn’t the exhaust port, it’s the fact that causing an explosion in the reactor would lead to a chain reaction, instead of just the reactor breaking and shutting down. When looking at the model, it can be seen that there are many more exhaust port, including a giant one at the South Pole, the rebels chose this one because it was less defended than the others
@@snowvix8902 I believe it's more that they thought that no fighter could get close enought for straight exhaust ports to be a problem because of the sheer amount of TIEs that coulf fit in the station, TIEs that the station hadn't yet recieved because it was just barely put into operational service. Not to mention that the shot Luke took wouldn't have been possible without the Force
This was the first film my dad saw in theaters. Ever since then, he's shared this franchise with me and my siblings. Me and my brother were born in 2000's, when the Prequels were being made. And I've been watching the newer films with my little half sister, Alice. I hope to watch these films when I'm older, and share them with my kids.
Half sister? Was she cut In half like Maul?!?!?!
I always thought the line Owen delivered the line “he died around the same time your father did” was talking about him and anakin’s bond. He lost a brother and on mustafar that’s where Obi-wan and anakin died and ben and vader were born.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. I think I got it out of my system.
My theory is that by Luke knowing Vader is his father, as an untrained force sensitive, he could unconsciously reach out and signal Vader or the emperor.
That’s the best thing about the Force as a plot device, you can justify almost anything because the limits are kept vague.
@@theonegoldengryphon Yep, the first thing they are taught is that everything is from "a certain point of view".
One of the main things that keeps Luke on the good side is his admiration for his father. When he learns his father was a Jedi Knight, this admiration is amplified. Obi-wan knows this and doesn't want to destroy that. Luke is broken upon learning his father is actually evil, and even still, he counts on the admiration of his Jedi father as the catalyst that brings Anakin back.
When Anakin says "you already have, Luke" at the end, there is heavy substance to it. Luke could have just as easily and understandably let go of the feelings he had for his hero dad.
I also choose to believe that Vader blocking Luke's strike on the Emperor wasn't to protect the Emperor, it was to protect Luke and keep him good in a moment of Anakin returning (hence the title of ep6) and reaching out.
I think it was Obi-Wan and/or Yoda's plan to turn Luke into a weapon to be sent against Vader and the Emperor before they knew what hit them. Luke blew it by meeting Vader before he was fully trained, and then getting emotionally attached to him. Of course Yoda was concerned that Luke wouldn't complete the training and be turned to the Dark Side or otherwise manipulated and defeated.
7:44 I just realized civil war made a bit of a call back to this scene. “I can’t go to Berlin I got...homework...”
Rest In Peace Carrie Fisher
Adib BehrooziTV
Agreed! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
May the Force be with thee.
20:48 That bit is easily my favorite addition put into the special editions. It's so much funnier with Han facing well over a hundred storm troopers rather than them just turning around and shooting back.
Wayne Enterprises Well you got to remember they run into a dead end in the original, what else are they suppose to do???
Timo B but why was there just a dead end in that hallway? But really, the new version does make a bit of sense. The stormtroopers wanted to make Han run away, since they needed them to get out alive to be tracked. Of course Han is going to run away from a whole dang hangar of soldiers
No, the new version was Lucas's way of attempting to "fix" something that didn't need fixing. I'm guessing they didn't have enough crew or couldn't hire enough extras when they shot it originally. In fact, it's still technically a "dead end". It's essentially a stormtrooper locker room. Why would that many stormtroopers be all in one place though? Yeah, that's why it doesn't make sense. And they didn't keep continuity, so you don't see that many again.
At 14:08 you can see Harrison Ford start to laugh as he looks away from the camera showing that was probably unscripted like the helmet line but Lucas felt like it fitted perfectly
I remain amused by the retroactive theory about the "parsec: time or distance?" confusion - Solo *meant* distance and since a shorter distance through a sector populated by black holes winds up *meaning* shorter time, then it's still accurate.
I had never noticed the transition from matte painting to miniature in the trench run scene. I'm just mindblown.
Same here! And it doesn't ruin the movie at all for me. It's just... charming what they had to work with back then.
Exactly. And they did it so well that some people haven't picked up on it.
More Wins (160) than Sins (120). That's cool.
RIP Peter Mayhew. 💔
May the Fourth Be With You, and With Us All.
Well dogs have short lives.
And note: There was no real intros or trailers for this movie, just word of mouth. I only saw it the first weekend because my wife just had our first child and she and her mother told me to get the hell out of the house and not come back until the evening. I remembered the movie was at the new CinemaScope theater and waited for three hours in a ticket line and then two hours in the entrance line and ended up in the center seat in the second row from the front, which is usually a bad seat due to the loudness of the sound system. Not with this movie! It was the best seat in the house and I will never forget the giant Imperial warship feeding itself onto the screen seemingly from behind me. Best movie beginning ever, ever, ever!!!
I was very lucky to see A New Hope in the 1970’s and it was incredible. Never queued outside a cinema before. My dad fell asleep. I fell in love with Star Wars. From the music, the performances are so good. 😊
Also concerning the "Don't shoot the space pod, because of no life forms". The empire needed to confirm that the plans were safe. Just assuming that someone had stuffed the plans into an empty escape pod could lead to disaster is the plans were hidden somewhere else.
that argument makes no sense
Evsbear1 Basically some people have a problem with the fact the empire didn't shoot down the pod just because there was no life forms. However the empire needed to verify that the rebels don't have the death star plans. Only way to do that is to search the entire ship and all of the escape pods which you obviously wouldn't be able to if you destroy one of them. Therefore the empire would only take the risk of destroying the escape pods if there was a life sign and therefore suspected the rebels were trying to smuggle the plans.
FailoReachForge that's actually pretty smart. I never thought about it like that
FailoReachForge they explained this in the book from a certain point of view.
TheCommunistDragon Awesome. I think I'm going to start reading more of the novels. Particularly the Revenge of the Sith one because apparently it's quite good.
To me the best version of the 'explaining hyperspace travel to 'fix' the parsecs thing' came from the X-Wing novels where they go into a lot of detail about that sort of thing. They explain that hyperspace travel is always a straight line point A to B. You want to chart those lines close to star systems and such so you've got a place to go in an emergency but anything that makes a gravity well is gonna fuck with your navigation (Han mentions this in ANH with his 'fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova' line). Larger, faster ships have the mass and/or momentum to resist these tugs of gravity so they can fly shorter courses.
In the old EU novels the 'Kessel Run' was a smuggler's route to avoid patrols that went around a cluster of black holes called The Maw. They were well charted but highly dangerous and most smugglers had ships just one side of the scrap yard so they had to be a little careful. The Falcon had its super juiced hyperdrive, a daredevil pilot, and (as we learn in Solo) a truly unique navigation computer so they shaved distance off the run, could complete it faster, and made more money and bragging rights.
All that being said I also like CinemaWins's take on it that Han was testing the waters to run a game on Ben and Luke. Han's a scoundrel. He's always gonna be looking for the angle.
and all of this just because Lucas had no idea what this term means but it sounded space-y...
Thanks for typing all that out so I didn't have to

CinemaWins: we probably will never have hd rips of these movies.

I think he was referring to the original first versions of the film
He definitely meant the original theatrical cuts
We might not have HDs of the original theatrical cuts , but fanmade definition enhancements and Despecialized editions are close.

Darth Vader beat Obi-Wan in their duel because Vader is taller. Vader had the high ground
Didn't Darth Maul have the high ground when he was fighting
Obi-Wan?
Small correction, Obi-wan is in his late 50s at the time of A New Hope. Then again, I guess your best friend betraying you and living in the desert for about 20 years would take a toll on you. Plus Alec Guinness was only 63 at the time it was released so the age gap isn't that unbelievable.

yep obi-wan was 57 according to wookiepedia.
I’ve literally just started watching Star Wars for the first time (as a 28 year old) and I had *no idea* you’d made videos on all the films! I can’t wait to watch all of these alongside them
2:10 - "I almost had 'em. I was this close. You should have seen me in that hallway."
LOL XD
Also, that's my favourite scene from Rogue One.
They didn’t do empire because it would have broken the win counter like fast and furious 8 broke the sin counter.
Marvel Agent11 4 and 6 are both better. My opinion
Peter Linsberger i don't think that 6 is the best i just like it the most i do think that 5 is the better movie ( that's my personal opinion )
5 has a great start but man does it get boring after Hoth. Worst of the originals imo
Peter Linsberger I can see 4 contending with it, but I don’t think 6 comes anywhere close. Empire left you feeling a slightly empty, but six was a bit predictable
I’m curious as to why it was Fast and Furious 8 and NOT Dragonball Evolution. That Sun count was OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!
I'm a new fan of your channel, after seeing your Rogue One episode. Such great work, an antidote to the poisonous cynicism throughout UA-cam. Please do The Magnificent Seven remake. An underrated gem. I saw it in theaters last year for James Horner's last soundtrack and loved everything about it. Especially the score, the Training Day reunion and Chris Pratt, always a win.
I loved that remake too

Watching one of many amazing documentaries on Star Wars creation, I learnt that in making of a new hope Lukas has already started working the script of the next two films. Leading me to believe that he had most definitely planned out the plot twist where darth Vader reveals his true identity. So obi-wans line “he was killed by darth Vader” was not only accurate but planned.
You can't take Lucas's word on anything, because it's him just being self-aggrandizing after the fact. He got the first draft of the script of Empire from Leigh Brackett in first quarter 1978, who then died of cancer. He then came up with the idea to make Darth Vader Luke's father instead of his father's killer. A couple months later, David Prowse in an interview suggests that they are father and son, so the story won't be resolved in the next episode as father can't kill son and son can't kill father. I suspect Lucas read that article in a San Francisco paper and got pissed at Prowse, who supposedly was never told until he saw the movie.
He also supposedly had Indiana Jones planned out for three films, but Spielberg was quite ready to say that wasn't the case after he found he didn't have a second story ready. That was one reason why they brought back all the unused stunts from _Raiders_ (e.g. jumping out an airplane and mine-cart chase) to use in _Temple of Doom._
Okay, I'm going to put forward a solution to the "ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs" problem that I'm surprised absolutely no one has put forth by now, because it's simple, and it solves the problem without creating any new ones.
Han Solo is not talking about his ship's speed, or how advanced its navigational capabilities are: He's telling Obi-Wan what his ship's great claim to fame is, because it's what the rest of the ship's reputation hangs on. Even if Obi-Wan doesn't know the name of the ship (and he doesn't), he might have heard this very famous piece of space-faring lore about the ship that set the new record for making one of the most infamously dangerous trips in the galaxy.
For instance, if we were talking about someone who accomplished a major feat here on Earth, it might go something like this:
"I hear you're looking for a swimming coach."
"Yeah, but they can't just know how to swim. They have to really know how to win races."
"That's easy. I know Bob Bowman."
"Is he any good?"
"You've never heard of Bob Bowman?"
"Should I have?"
"He's the man who trained Michael Phelps; you know, the most decorated Olympian of all time."
"No $#!+... wow, then I guess he really does know how to train swimmers to win races."
Back to the cantina!
"You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?"
"No. Should I have?"
"It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs."
Intended reaction? "No $#!+... wow; the Millenium Falcon is *that* ship? That ship's supposed to be explosive diarrhea fast! Okay; you're hired."
And that interpretation even fits Ben Kenobi's reaction perfectly, because doesn't he look like his first thought is "yeah, right... like you own *that* ship"?
It's simple. It works. It doesn't create any new problems. Han Solo's just talking about what his ship is famous for. So naturally, everyone's glossed over that solution in order to tie themselves into knots trying to figure out a way to make irredeemably bad physics work.
Well duh, that’s never mentioned because that part is obvious lol. His intention wasn’t the issue, it was the *meaning* that was.
Oh My GOD! Do Edward Scissorhands! I love that movie and I'd love to hear what a ray of literally sunshine like yourself would think of it!

You gotta do The Lord Of The Rings dude.

I can say I am a youngling, and I can say that the original Star Wars trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies and movies of all time.
"come on, you didn't know the name of the Cantina Band?" I do now! And I think that it's one of the BEST "useless piece of trivia" I've ever heard!

Muclunkey
Having seen Star Wars in 1977 when it was released, I'm always struck by how nostalgic are over this and Raiders of the Lost Ark, knowing they were inspired by serials from the '30s and '40s.
That was Lucas's claim to fame, and it's too bad he didn't find a third serial to make into a series. _Superman: The Movie_ was already underway while _Star Wars_ was in production. But maybe he could have done Shazam! or a war series or something else?
While Han has, IN MY OPINION, the best lines in this film, my personal favorite line from this movie is. "Do you think a princess and a guy like me.." "No." Didn't even let him finish the question
I know the change to "Han shoots first" was to try to make him look more "heroic", but the whole reason why Han shooting first makes sense is because of who he was at the time and only makes his development mean a lot more in the long run.
Han probably still didn't shoot in reaction to Greedo shooting, as there was pretty much no time for Han to react. So it doesn't really ruin his character.
chewbacca finally got his medal :))))
Leia face when she shoots always makes me laugh
The T-16 is just outside, IN THAT SHOT. How come nobody notices that?
Wait, has that always been there?! All this time I just thought that was a weird angled wall. Now, I see it has an engine.
It's strange how every aspect of this film, every small element, no matter what comes is pieced together with different aspects to make one of the most iconic,entertaining,fun,imaginative,creative franchises ever.
“How did my farther die”

Ah, this is a very common joke over at Cinemasins, but now I can make it here:
"Everything great about Star Wars: Episode IV"
...Uploads entire movie...
I just realized that Han’s weird scream when he charges the stormtroopers on the first Death Star sounds like a Wookie’s cry. Was he trying to copy Chewbaca?!?!
"samurai inspired suit" yes, the famous samurai button panel and vita paste inserter.
I get you're making a joke here, but it's more the silhouette and overall aesthetic it creates just with some buttons and lights added in.
@@Squeekysquid i'll say the helmet kind of looks like that of a samurai. but it also kind of looks like a salet. but apart from his helmet, nothing about him resembles a samurai. a more appropriate statement would've been "darth vader's samurai inspired helmet."

CS is so negative. Can't take it myself
At one point you begin to realise how CS stopped being about nitpicking on popular movies and turned into hate against, well, pretty much anything. So yeah, life is to short to delve in the cynicism.
Meh. I watch them both. They both have a place. Some people love to nitpick, others love to praise, and still others love to do both.
CS was never about nitpicking. Go watch EWW Jurassic Park. They clearly weren't nitpicking (I think that video is only 6 or 7 mins long). They sin everything, even movies they really like. It's all about fun and they like to find what's wrong with movies, even the movies they love (because no movie is without sin :-P).
