A final fun fact. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford were all on a plane (not long after the first movie) and Hamill noticed a crowd in the airport (from the plane) with banners (couldnt read them from far) etc. And he said to Carrie that there must be a really famous person on the plan, then he started to look around. Short after he realized that it was a crowd of star wars fans and they were there because of them (i think ive learned this from an interview with mark hamill)

i saw this movie over 50 times in the theaters... when it was still just "Star Wars" ... no chapter name or number as that didn't happen until the 1981 re-release. Between 1977 and 1980. it was just "Star Wars"... a stand-alone movie with no sequels and no prequels... and an ending that was not a cliff-hanger and let the movie watcher use his or her imagination to decide what happened later. I bought the soundtrack album and pretty much wore it out by playing it incessantly on my turntable. The main title music was released as a single, and made the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Meco Menardo also released a disco/dance version of the soundtrack, and a single was made from various parts of that album, and that single made it all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Star Wars" music was everywhere in 1977 and 1978.

@@VerowakReacts The special effects before the CGI was added years later were incredible for their time. That’s why they won the Oscar for effects, among many other categories they brought home that year. ;) The originals didn’t really have any CGI, as CGI wouldn’t even be a thing commonly used until the late 1980s and early 1990s, which is long after the original trilogy finished up. 1982’s TRON was the first movie to extensively use CGI, but it was incredibly basic stuff. Terminator 2 from 1992 was one of the first movies to use a ton of realistic-looking CGI. The only CGI originally in this movie was the computer display on the wall showing the plans of the Death Star during the meeting before the attack. All the space ships were done with miniatures. All the lasers and the light sabres were rotoscope effects. Pretty much everything else was done practically because that was the only way to do it at the time. Most of the added-in CGI is pretty obviously CGI, making it relatively easy to see what was altered for the Special Editions. It is a nicer experience, an opinion shared by many, to see the original release versions instead of the Special Edition versions, but unfortunately the only way to watch them is via fan edits like the Despecialized versions that were mentioned, among a few other versions edited and released by fans. But you can only get those via downloads which aren’t strictly legal. The only digital versions of the originals that were officially released were Special Edition DVD extras. We never got any HD or better official releases. Fans have obtained theatrical release film reels and digitally scanned and restored them themselves, and they’re probably the best way to view the originals. But as I say, they’re not strictly legal. Some people don’t mind pirating them, but not everybody is comfortable doing so. I satisfy my own morality on the subject by buying an official physical copy and downloading the pirated original copy that I actually want to watch.

Well, I do remember being annoyed that we never actually saw any spaceship taking off or land. In particular, I think the extra scene of the Millennium Falcon taking off from Mos Eisley helps the flow of the sequence. They did improve in the sequels, but I often think there is an element of elitism in the CGI bashing. You could always find traces of bluescreen artifacts and jerky stop motion as well. Regardless of the techniques used, it's all a matter of using the tools you have as well as possible.

I'm glad you're seeing it in release order! Discover characters, plot arcs & the universe the same way we did. Don't really have a favorite Star Wars movie, but it'd be a tie between Episodes 5 & 6 (treated as a 2-part episode in my mind); & Rogue One. Fun story: my family was really excited to go see this when it came out! My dad was the big scifi fan, & I took after him, after he had been so carefully been introducing me to his favorite authors. Mom was the only person who drove; but she enjoyed watching fantastical movies, too. Anyway, we were all bummed to discover the movies release date was *after* we'd be on our summer road trip! My parents both worked for the public school system in Ohio, so our vacation times lined up pretty well; so every summer we did a road trip to part of the country. We'd decide where, my mom went to AAA (travel agency) to plan the route, get it on trip tick (a manageable sort of paper road map;) & get the corresponding guide book. Road trips were adventure, back then: calling your next motel every morning from the front desk for lodging that night, guided only by how many stars it'd been rated in the AAA guidebook! No cellphones, no GPS; no apps. Anyway, we were in the Southwestern States when Star Wars hit theaters; & we'd had to reconcile ourselves to catching it when it hit the cheaper theaters... From the highway going into Santa Fe, New Mexico, we passed a neighborhood commercial district with theater... Guess what movie was on the marquee? After finding our motel, my dad bought the local paper from the dispenser outside the office, & we found the theater. I'd imagine my mom may have called to find out how to get there. (I was a young teen, & didn't pay attention.) So -- we got to watch the movie in the most beautiful neighborhood theater I've ever seen! The interior decor reflected the Hispanic influence in Santa Fe. Of course, considering it was dark when the movie was over, trying to find our way back to the motel was another adventure...

The version you watched was NOT the 1977 theatrical release. You saw the 1997 Special Edition version, which had ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) go back and add CGI special effects they couldn't do in 1977. The Special Edition version contains scenes that were deleted from the original, and includes some controversial scenes like 'Greedo shot first'. In the 1977 version, Greedo never got off a shot, Han just blasted him from under the table in the Cantina. Just some lore: you're going to find the numbers 1138 and 327 appearing throughout the films, sort of an Easter egg, so watch for them. Both have significance to George Lucas.

1. IRL Sir Alec Guinness didn't want to play Obi Wan, He thought the entire premise was silly, but his wife talked him into taking it. The rest is history. 2. This episode of the saga was released first because Lucas felt it was the easiest one to make and provide an outstanding product with the technology they had at the time. 3. This movie came out way before CGI was available. The scene with Jabba the Hutt, the large critters outside the cantina and the ones being ridden by the stormtroopers are CGI and was put in later with the 25 years anniversary edition. 4. The BEST way to watch these are in the order they were released. Keep in mind that we had to wait years between episodes. there wasn't any internet or memes like. "I am your father" as spoilers. 5. The scene in the detention center where Han Solo ends up saying "how are you" is a goof on Harrison Ford's part. He forgot his lines. 🤣 6. In an appearance on Johnny Carson when this came Carrie Fisher said the Chewy is a 300-year-old Wookie. 7. Obi Wan didn't die. He went into the force. 8.

In 1977, Star Wars was NOT the studios main summer blockbuster hit. That was to be a movie called Damnation Alley. But DA got delayed due to some problematic "sky on fire" effects so the studio put SW out so they had something in the theaters (drive in for me.) But as we now know SW was such a phenomenal hit, fans going back to see it multiple times, that when DA was released so few people went to see it (I was one who did, again at a drive-in) that it was pulled only a few weeks after release. SW continued in the theaters to the point that the film was wearing out and breaking in the projectors.

Carrie Fisher also starred in "The Blues Brothers". A little more trivia - the attack on the Death Star, was inspired, in part, by the 1955 film "The Dambusters". If you ever see that film, you can pick similarities, and there are even spoofs where the sound and dialog are coupled with images of the other. "The Dambusters" is based on a true story about a raid on German dams in WW2. When the film was made some aspects of the raid were still classified.

Not spoilers: - That wide-angle shot of Mos Eisley was added in the 1997 "special edition". - Whether or not "Han shot first" (in the Cantina) has seen many tweaks between editions. In the original 1977 version there actually were no visible shots fired, just special FX + cut to Greedo falling onto the table, with Han holding his blaster. Many fans prefer that Han shot pre-emptively, while George Lucas prefers that Greedo tried to shoot first. (The current edition depicts them trading shots more or less simultaneously.)

If you ever want to see the theatrical cuts of these films... Its not exactly legal... But fans have restored old film negatives, it's called "Project 4K77." They restored the whole trilogy and you can find them all online. Of course there is also the Despecialized editions where a fan painstakingly removed the additions but kept the HD quality. George Lucas also released the theatrical cuts as a bonus DVD in 2006. But the visual quality on the 06 DVD versions are terrible and probably hard to track down copies at this point. My personal favorite version of these films is the 1997 special editions. But that's only because my dad took me to see them in the theater when I was 7 so it's mostly just nostalgia. I still have my VHS copies! There are a lot of versions though! The theatrical cuts, The 1997 Special Editions, The 2004 DVD Special Editions, the 2011 Blu Ray release and the Disney+ release, all of which have subtle and not so subtle differences and changes.

I mean, the Family Guy spoof of Empire is called Somerhing, Something, Something, Dark Side. LOL ESB is beyond brilliant.

When you were reading the trivia at the end about George Lucas' minimalist directing style I remembered that it even applied to word pronounciation. The cast would ask him about how to pronounce something, for example, was the princess' name Lee-uh or Lay-uh? And was Solo's first name Hann or Hahn? and George pretty much answered "Yes." and walked away indicating go with whatever you want. Which is why different characters say their names in slightly different ways.

There was maybe 10 to 20 people there at most; it wasn't till the next week that the line started going down the block. For me it was an Epic Fantasy Adventure of the likes that haven't been until then. Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Suspense... And Princess Leia! Blasters, Light Sabers, Chewbacca, R2D2... With Special Effects by ILM never before seen! These are the primary reasons I think it is regarded as one of thee greatest movies of all time.

While Star Wars came out in 1977, this version made it's debut in 1997, as part of the 20th anniversary. It has newer digital effects, despite the fact that the original films had some of the best effects. Things like the size of Mos Eisley, the city they meet Han in has been increased in size and scope with more aliens and busyness around the streets. The Jabba scene (which wasn't seen in your reaction) was not included in the original. It was filmed, but the design of Jabba hadn't been finalized, and was filmed with a costumed actor.

Star Wars (1977), you are embarking on The Hero's Journey and Mythology as George Lucas was a friend of Anthropologist Joseph Campbell, a space opera is a way to describe it. Somewhere along the way you might want to take in American Graffiti (1973), the film George Lucas made before Star Wars as somewhat of a prelude. My 3-year-old nephew accompanied us on our many repeat viewings of the film when it came out and is our biggest Star Wars Fan. The soundtrack was available as a double vinyl LP or on cassette (can't remember if it was double also!) at that time, no CD's yet. A Phenomenon it was and Still Is! and much could be said about it. :)

Speaking of "release order", techically you can't watch the original 1977 release because Gworge Lucas re-edited the movie and added CGI in the 1990s a d banned the original theatrical release (it's available only as a collector's item). Now that you know that, hopefully you can guess at some of the glaring CGI changes, all of which were imho superflous and even ugly. But Lucas knows best, apparently.

For reference, Alderaan is an Earth class planet (same size/mass, same gravity, same atmosphere and same land mass ratio), vaporizing such a planet in one second would require the power of a giant star or a small supernova. The Death Star uses Kyber Cristals to amplify the energy from the hypermatter reactor in its core to get that result. Quite overkill considering that a much lower power output for a longer time would essentially achieve the same result... It's more of a terror weapon than a practical one and that wastes a lot of ressources... At that time, Wookies were enslaved by the Empire, seeing a Wookie prisonner in an Imperial facility is nothing out of the ordinary. People seem puzzled by the Stormtrooper reaction to the droids diversion tactic. In fact those droids are a very common model and there are possibly tens of thousands of those on the station and not all Imperial droids are specially dedicated to the Empire with a black livery. Some of them are bought on the regular market so without knowing their registry number, it's difficult to tell that kind of droid apart, hence why that tactic was so effective. C3PO is not particularly intelligent, he's rather pedantic and stiff upper lip (the actor played him as a British butler which suits him very well and as he is a protocol droid, that's pretty basic) R2 suggested the idea. R2 is an astromech droid that repairs anything on a ship or a fighter. They also have quite the computing power to hlep a fighter pilot in their task. As he was with the Jedi in the clone wars, and never had his memory wiped, he developped quite a personnality and also has a ton of experience to base his decisions. Death Star is about 160 kms in diameter. My favorite is the most fans favorite as well, the next movie, Episode V.

It was funny to see the reaction when realizing Tarkin was the highest authority in the Dead Star, not Vader. I've been a life-long Tarkin fan, actually, as when I was a kid it shocked me how someone so... normal could have such a command. (The stuff I had seen or read earlier, like The Lord of the Rings books, had the most powerful enemy *always* as the leader, and here we had Tarkin being mostly an evil bureaucrat.) Also, I do love Tarkin's actor, Peter Cushing, from movies like Sherlock Holmes or the old Dracula movies (he played Van Helsing against Christopher Lee's Dracula); just one of the most endearing actors in real life.

It’s no secret that it’s one of the best of the franchise as well as one of the greatest sequels of all time. #StarWars #ANewHope #1977 #MayTheForceBeWithYou
