Thank you so much to everyone for watching my reaction? It means a lot! I hope you enjoyed it and please check out some of my other reaction videos.

Congrats on being one of the only reactors to get the thrill of learning the biggest reveal in movie history!... WITHOUT having it spoiled for you. I'm sure all the other reactors are jealous! It was fun watching you react!

We should all be so lucky to have a good friend that would gift us an R2 mug.

Those "things" are called Imperial TIE fighters. They're the standard, extremely cheap (like the don't have life support. That's why the pilots are in full suits) and mass produced. The one Vader flew is called the TIE Advanced and it was experimental and especially made for Vader. The "Egg Shell" is the meditation chamber for Vader. It's where he can take his suite off and sometimes eat solid food.

James..."Talk about baggage and family issues..." Billy Mays..."But wait, there's more!" Great reaction, good luck with the channel.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate all the support and hope the reactions get even better as we move forward. Please subscribe! We need this channel to GROW!

Love your reaction to Yoda. No matter how many times I've watched this, I crack up every time. You can hear Miss Piggy & Grover as Frank Oz did all their voices.

I'm 66 and saw episode 4 in the theaters and you pretty much saw it just as we did. There were only a few characters like a dinosaur thing that a stormtrooper rode that were added and it's possible they had a way to sharpen all of the frames. But it blew our minds back then how they used green screen for the first time pretty much. What was so effective though was the fast-paced storytelling and quick changes to new incredible sets. It's even more incredible of course in episode 5...which is my favorite movie of all time. You seem to indeed have very little knowledge about them that you picked up so it's a treat to see your reaction. I'm always concerned that somebody is going to react with a ho-hum, but so far none of the reactors I have watched have felt that way.

It is truly amazing to see someone who has never even heard the mistaken quote of "Luke, i am your father" even in passing without knowing anything about star wars or knowing what it meant. that is pretty rare, glad to see the reaction where you had no idea. very unique because it is just so ingrained in pop culture.

So great to see you so ingested into every scene and so cheerful about this experience 😊 Plus, it's really rare that someone didn't get the huge plot twist with Vader and Luke spoiled! That's often the one thing people know about these films. If you are that much into the ships and all the tech I recommend the Illustrated Encyclopedias, in which the made up technical explanations for all the technological gadgets, weapons, robots and so on are explained. There are also books with houses or spaceships drawn cut open (I don't know hoe thats called in the English language), so you get to look inside and little arrows will hint at things and explain everything. Really nerdy and really satisfying 😁 Those aren't even too expenaive, considering all the big fotos im there.

I'm glad no one ever spoiled that moment for you.

70's animated The Hobbit (1977) Dragonslayer (1981) Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Jaws (1975) Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Batman (1966) Superman (1978)

Glad you continued. This one is usually the fan favorite of the original trilogy.

Jabba the Hut was never in episode IV. When these came out in theatres we never saw Jabba until episode VI. They added that early scene as bonus footage. I am so amazed that you managed to shield yourself from all these details. Even if you never saw the movies, the toys were everywhere. There is a great series on Netflix about the toys that made us. You should check it out.

14:57 The fighter that Darth Vader was piloting in the first movie is also a TIE fighter, called a TIE Advanced This movie also introduces the TIE Bomber

"Don't ever get on a Zoom call with Vader." Sound advice. :)

Star Wars is my biggest media passion of all time. I cannot remember a time where I wasn't exposed to it in some way. being born in '96, it was pretty hard to escape, with the Original Trilogy being as popular as it was, and the prequels only two years away. I cant count how many times I've watched the films/shows, but its ALWAYS a treat seeing someone experience it for the first time.

after the beast spits r2 out, the line BEFORE it was senselessly changed is supposed to be "you're lucky you don't TASTE very good."

You have to be the happiest most joyful reactioner! Watched Jedi in the theater and have been a diehard OG-trilogy ever since. It's great to share these with you even though we don't know each other. The magic never fades. MTFBWY! Cannot wait until you watch INDIANA JONES series, BACK TO THE FUTURE, JAWS and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS of the THIRD KIND 1977

14:47 "What Are These Things With The Little Balls In The Middle?" Those would be Imperial TIE fighters, James T.I.E. being short for "Twin Ion Engine"

"Where do you get a lightsaber?" Lightsabers are made by the Jedi themselves -- in training, they are taught how to build one by getting a hold of a kyber crystal which powers the saber. Since they are made by the individual Jedis themselves they are highly customized according to the Jedis' culture and preferences. The kyber crystals are mined on certain planets. The Death Star is actually powered by a giant kyber crystal.

12:02 is my favorite scene in all the saga. They didn't need to fight the star destroyers, just needed to disable them for a moment while the transports escape.

You mention your in your _40s_ and you never saw these movies?! I feel good for you checking Star Wars out for the first time! 1-6 are a fantastic ride!👌🏻

You know it’s a great movie when you yell “yaaaaaaay” when the credits roll ☺️

Another cool review! So glad that no one spoiled the TWIST ENDING for you. And yes... while it's good to know that while R2-D2 is pretty much Drip-Dry... he certainly doesn't taste that great. Also... LUV your mug. Very Cool! BTW... be sure to check KZfaq out for... A Bad Lip Reading of The Empire Stikes Back... "Seagulls!" (Stop It Now). ~ It's a Hoot!

The Indiana Jones trilogy with Raiders of the Lost Ark was made by George Lucas (creator of Star Wars) and Steven Spielberg. It came out in the same era as Star Wars. Like Star Wars, it was an homage to 1930s movie serials, thus Star Wars’ opening crawl.

I have literally seen more reactors surprised by the father reveal then by the Yoda one. What with Yoda's face everywhere, it may be impossible for people nowadays to be surprised 0:35 that the funky little gremlin is actually the wise Jedi master.

Hey James, I am really glad you started your journey with the Original Star Wars Trilogy. When I was younger, I always liked Empire Strikes Back as my second favorite of the trilogy. However, as an adult, I have come to appreciate this film more, and more. Today, it is my favorite Star Wars film. I love the darker tone and the climactic battle with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. It was especially a surprise when it is revealed that Darth Vader was Luke's father. Still one of the best cinema moments of all time, in my honest opinion.

This is my favorite of the trilogy! Your reactions are so great. I love watching you experience Star Wars for the first time. It’s actually better to watch you react because of the fact that you don’t now a lot of the details. Can’t wait for the next one.

Originally, in the first movie, Jabba was a man. In the following movies, Jabba became the slug, so they went back to the deleted scene in the first movie, and put Jabba in, and used the tail step on to adjust for Han walking around him.

Knowing who Yoda is ruins the scene. It's unavoidable to not know. I'm lucky to have seen this in the theater.

Like Halloween 2, the family-based reveal here somehow goes on to be THE defining characteristic of the series for the next (nearly) forty years.

18:40 "Who's Anakin Skywalker?" That'd be Luke's father

i really dug that you were so dumbfounded by the "i am your father" thing, absolutely the first reactor ive seen that didnt already know that

Of course I'd seen Episode IV-VI before as a Teenager in the 90's. My Parents weren't into Sci-fi, but Mum and I left My Abusive Father when I was 13. We moved from Brisbane to The Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland. It's up a Mountain Range behind Cairns. I'm the Baby of 8 Kids, 6 Girls, 2 Boys and 1 set of Twins. No We're Not Catholic, Mum had difficulties with Medication and Dad Refused to do anything. I was Mum's Little Surprise Package, She was 44 when I was born. The Twins one of My Sisters and Her Twin Brother who are 16 years older than Me both moved up as well. My Big Sister introduced Me to these movies She Drools Over Mark Hamil (Luke). Personally Billy Dee Williams (Lando) is My Eye Candy, well Him and Hayden Christensen (Anakin) from Episode II & III. Billy Dee Williams started out a Musical Artist during the Disco Era of the 70's. These I like to watch Star Wars from the beginning in Episode I. So that's how I'm watching Your Reactions.

For your next reaction I'd obviously say Episodes 1-3 😅 But I can understand if you want ro take a break. I also tend to spare certain nice things, instead of bringing them.

In the original trilogy, the fight really serve as a reflection of the emotional state of the combatants. So well paced. In later movies, they just became empty fight scenes.

Yoda is older than 800 years old. He said he had been training Jedi for 800 years. Yoda's pretty old, lol. This is my favorite film of the series. That "I am your father" line blew my mind, & I thought he was lying. I couldn't wait for the third film.

Vader's ship in New Hope was a TIE INTERCEPTOR prototype which you will see the new ones in the next film. The other imperial fighters are called TIE FIGHTERS. You will see 2 more new rebel fighters called B wings and A wings.

This one is typically everyones favorite in the series, myself included. You'll definitely see why!

Great reaction! I love seeing someone my age discovering these great films for the first time. There are so many franchises for you to discover. 😎😎 you got to do Lord of the rings after this!!!!

Ghostbusters 1984- my absolute favorite film of all time.

I've been around the channel for a while but am just getting around to the Star Wars movies, I noticed you are creeping close to 10k subs! Congrats, I'm excited for you!

My #2 favorite film ever. The best Star Wars ever got.

CGI (computer generated image) did exist in the 70s, but it was in it's absolute infancy. It wasn't implemented in movies until Westworld (1973) if I remember right. Even then, it was a very minor part of the movie. CGI got it's big break with TRON in 1982, and it's first mainstream hit in 1991 with Terminator 2. Jurassic park and Toy Story would endure it was here to stay, for better and worse.

The biggest difference added by the CG was the inclusion of large windows in the buildings near the end. They also expanded the snow monster in the Special Edition. Originally you did not see a lot of him.

You are one LUCKY reactor! Not one in 10 never got spoiled (re THE reveal). SO fun to see your expression!

Hi! New subscriber here, happy to have found your channel. I know I'm late to the party and many of these movies may have already been recommended but I figure I'll give it a shot... For sci-fi - The Last Starfighter This is such a fun movie! From 1984, this was the first movie to use CGI for almost all the special effects. They look primitive now but that's part of the charm of the film in my opinion and they get the job done in helping tell the story. A great story by the way. Fantasy - Willow - story by George Lucas and directed by Rob Howard, a must see fantasy film. The Never Ending Story - Great family film for all ages. The Princess Bride - Extremely funny fairy tale film. Comedy: Spaceballs Now you've seen the Star Wars movies you have to see this! Ghostbusters - great movie for October! Caddyshack Three Amigos Uncle Buck Splash Big Beverly Hills Cop Brewster's Millions Superhero: Superman (1978) This is the film that began the modern era of super hero movies and it still holds up today as a superhero film the was Star Wars holds up as Sci-fi! It's one of the most inspirational movies you'll ever see. Drama: Rocky - this is *the most* inspirational movie you'll ever see. Best Regards!

If you ask what's this thing or that thing about these movies, for example asking what the tie fighter is. There is somebody that can not only tell you what it is, they can tell you how it's engine works, what weapons it has, it's power source, what is made of, and even who was piloting it. There is a story behind everything in these movies. Knowing this, when the prequels came out I knew that no matter how awesome they were, there were going to be nerds foaming at the mouth about how badly they messed up the tiniest of details. It's crazy. But that's a testimony to how special these movies are. They are imagination fuel.

24:40 is the moment Han learns that a good blaster is NOT a substitute for a 'Hokey Religion'.

There are a few events in movie history that i wish i could have witnessed first hand. This is one of them. I wonder what it would have been like to have an "audience reaction youtube channel" back then like we do now. I've been told people were stunned, disgusted, in just plain disbelief.

I would suggest you watch Raiders of Lost Ark and RoboCop Two great and fun movies.

"Fixed it!"....awesome😂

This was the first movie I saw in the theater without my parents or an adult. It was just my sister and I.. Still my favorite of the series.

The Star Destroyers are approximately 1kilometer. Darth Vader's Excelsior is approximately 19kilometers. In the Star Wars RPG Spaceship supplement. A SD fits on a page. In the same scale, Excelsior takes several.

This is where the band Nerf Herder got their name

If you haven't seen the show. I highly recommend you react to Babylon 5. It introduced long form storytelling to television. Five seasons, each being the equivalent of a chapter or book, in a book or series of books. It was also the first live action show, to use computer graphics exclusively for space scenes. It also incorporates real physics in said scenes and weapons. Example is the side arms, are called PPG (particle projection guns) , excited particles are pushed out using electro magnetic fields and create plasma. Imparting kinetic, heat, and electrical energy to the target. However, due to it's more dispersed nature, is less likely to travel through a target or wall. Kind of important on a space station or ship.

I love revisiting your Star Wars reactions!

I’m just starting out this minute on your channel! I subscribed! I find different kinds of peoples reactions to movies fascinating!

Episode IV - R2 gets hit by a laser blast from a TIE fighter: "Oh no! R2," but no other comment. Episode V - R2 falls in a puddle: Shock. "What, he's waterproof!?!?"

Well, I don't know what you've already seen, but here's my personal "short list": Sci-fi: Terminator 1&2 (only), Minority Report, Dark City, Predestination, Frequency, The Abyss, Arrival, The Fountain, Any christopher Nolan film (Inception, Tenet, Interstellar, Memento, The Prestige) Comedy: Anything by "ZAZ" -- Airplane, Top Secret, The Naked Gun (any/all of 'em), Hot Shots 1&2, Monty Python (Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and Meaning of Life) Fantasy: After LotR, there's not much, but I'll list a few that take place centuries ago etc that "feel" like fantasy -- Braveheart, Gladiator, The Dark Crystal, Perfume If you're open to other genres, there are plenty of other AMAZING movies that flirt with themes you like.

You should watch the Terminator movies. i’ve only seen the first 2 but they are amazing and great reaction as well. Empire and Return of the Jedi are my Top 2 Star Wars movies and my favorite movies of all time tbh

CGI did in fact exist as of the making of this episode, but it was so primitive it could not hope to compete with ILM's practical effects and legacy computer work.

I also suggest Indiana Jones trilogy, or Back To the Future trilogy.

Yoda and all the other puppets in the Star Wars movies were made by Jim Henson's company, they worked on a number of films

This is the best of the 9 so far...

The best of all the Star wars

Now you need to watch Bad Lip Reading - Seagulls! (Stop It Now). I'm not claiming special powers but my girlfriend and I both got the second twist in this film immediately. (I wouldn't have mentioned this but I know you know now.) Have you seen Star Trek?

If you like sci-fi and comedy, I would recommend Galaxy Quest - with the caveat that it's much better if you've seen some Star Trek. Also the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg Cornetto 'trilogy" that starts with Shaun of the Dead is fantastic.

This one is my favorite Star Wars movie.

Luke and Leia related, Darth turns out to be everybodys daddy. This is a Space Tele Novela Dio Mio! and I love it.

I had Darth Vader's ship. Slave 1 (Bobafet's ship) was the coolest. So original.

I remember at the time there was a lot of controversy surrounding the inclusion of minorities trying to get a part in these films. Lando played by Billy Dee Williams was a popular black actor who landed the role. But what really created a storm was the voice of Darth Vadar. It was a black actor James Earl Jones, but when Luke saw Vadar take off the mask, it certainly wasn't James Earl Jones. They couldn't handle Luke having a black father. It was a huge situation and talked about even to this day. Thanks for the reaction.

Its a bit of a plot hole that the To-ton, thats from the planet would die of hypothermia before a human. But we're in a universe with magic, lightsabers and laser guns so we can overlook it.

Love the mug... I have the Darth Vader mug. I bought my friend the Yoda.

Those tiny ships that were chasing the Millennium Falcon through the asteroid field are called TIE (Twin Ion Engine) Fighters. These fighters were fast and highly maneuverable as they didn't include a shield, hyperdrive, or life support. Most other fighters have these three components. Darth Vader's TIE is a TIE Advanced. They have the three components the other TIEs don't. In the movies, only Vader had a TIE Advanced. In the animated TV series "Rebels", the TIE Advanced were granted to Inquisitors; Dark Side adepts. In this movie they introduced TIE Bombers they have curved wings like Vader's TIE. The stuffed "Baby Yoda" toys aren't actually Yoda. In the Disney+ series "The Mandalorian" a new character was introduced. Since the character is much younger than Yoda was (the character is about 50 years old) and a member of Yoda's species, the character was referred to as "Baby Yoda". The character's name wasn't introduced until the middle of the second season. At the time of A New Hope, the Emperor is 84 and the Galactic Empire had only been around for 19 years. The senate, mentioned in A New Hope was the last remnants of the Galactic Republic which was the previous government before the Emperor gained power. The story of how the Galactic Republic fell, how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, and the events known as the "great Jedi purge" are shown in Episodes 1 thru 3. The ship in the upper left is a fighter called a B-Wing. The furry creatures at the bottom are called Ewoks.

It’s so rare to watch an unspoiled reaction to this. This reaction is a treasure!

There actually was CGI in A New Hope before the re-release in the late 90s. The scene is when General Dodonna is briefing the rebel pilots on the Death Star's weakness. The animated schematic used in that briefing was actually generated by university students using computers meant for Jet Propulsion Labs. Since that was the level of CGI in those days one could see why they weren't used for movies. There's speculation that Lucas could already see the potential.

Man, that was probably the best reaction I’ve seen! Love how into the whole story you were and whatnot! Now to watch your other reactions! 😁

"They Can't see anything! How are they going to land?" Grif: "That just means, 'stop flying,' right?"

The Empire's fighter craft are called T.I.E. Fighters (pronounced like the neck wear that is traditionally worn with a suit). There are just different variations of them (like the flat side panels, the side panels that sort of curve like Vader's craft, some even have two round cockpits in the middle instead of one). But to the best of my knowledge, they are all called "T.I.E. FIghters".

My favorite Star Wars!

Love the coffee mug

The little ships that were chasing the Falcon are called Tie Fighters

14:52 they R called tie fighters!

20:22 ..... NO cause we're not on Earth LOL

Love that mug!

The H-shaped fighters are called TIE Fighters, and are the standard aerial pawns for the Empire. "TIE" stands for Twin Ion Engine. TIEs also come in several other models that are more task-specific, such as TIE Bombers (seen bombing the asteroids) and TIE Interceptors, which are much faster and more maneuverable than Fighters, but have weaker shields. The Empire employs TIEs because they are cheap to produce. They have limited armaments and standard TIEs have virtually no shields, so their strength is in numbers. Dogfighting one-on-one against a more capable fighter like an X-Wing or A-Wing is borderline suicidal.

Fantasy: Labyrinth and or Legend/ Sci Fi: The Last Starfighter (1984) and Tron (1982) (the beginning of CGI AND fantastic movies to boot)

Great video as always!

Tie fighters are the ones with the ball in the middle. Imperial fighters.

May the Force be with you!

Darth Vader had a custom job so he could stand out. the other ones are Bombers, made for dropping bombs strait down. In the next film you see interceptors and beyond that Im not clear on names and junk. Also if you want to follow the stories before and after and in-between this, check out the cartoons, TV shows, TV movies and video games.

Have you seen the old film called Willow? It’s fantasy, and i believe the story was by george lucas. It’s one of my all time fav films. Highly recommend.

The ones with the balls are called tie fighters

The crazy thing about these movies is any question you have about anything in these movies, it's likely there's an answer.

Just very baffled how come no movies,all the best,greetings from Yucatán!

Whelp you asked for ideas of things to watch. I think Obviously get you pointed to Mel Brooks and Monty Python for the comedy films "Blazing Saddles", "Space-balls", "Young Frankenstein", "Monty Python's Quest For The Holy Grail", and "Life of Brian". For your Adventure films you cant do much better than "Raiders of The Lost Arc", "The Road Warrior" or "Furry Road". Sci-Fi I would point you at the Alien franchise but you haven't mentioned your opinion on horror but if you can stand a little scares "Alien" and its sequel "Aliens" are some great Sci-Fi. Sans scares Id point you to "Robocop", "Dredd" and "Minority Report" are favorites. Though I don't see many film reactors cover FIlm Noir aside from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" or "Fight Club", some of my favorites that I don't see many reviews for are "China Town", "The Maltese Falcon", "Sunset Boulevard", "The Game", "Seven", "Casablanca", and the one I'd like to see more people watch most of all, Alfred Hitchcock's underappreciated "Rope". Hope your channel does well sir X)

12:10 That's a planetary defense cannon

Return of the Jedi is my fav Star Wars
