George Lucas actually had to create his own special effects company to make Star Wars because every other special effects company he talked to said what he wanted to do was impossible. He created Industrial Lights and Magic and they have been one of the leading special effects companies pretty much ever since. They do a lot of movies nowadays especially Marvel movies.

I saw this when I was 10 and up to that point we had Star Trek and a few other lesser known science fiction movies/series. The special effects were terrible by today's standards - you basically ignored them and focused on the story. 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968) was an exception and the 'effects' were due to a massive rotating wheel so the set was actually rotating. Then you had the first shot of this movie and you think, "Wow! That ship was HUGE!" until the star destroyer comes on screen and your mouth is open and your head is back on the seat and IT. JUST. KEEPS. GOING. Add in the sound effects, the soundtrack, ...everything! If you were a nerd, you were in heaven. My father finally had to ask why was I spending all my lawn-mowing money on this movie (I saw it 32 times in the theater) and he took all of us. When he admitted to liking the movie ("Yeah, that was pretty good"), I was overjoyed.

It was like attending a rave with high energy running through the audience the whole time. When the Death Star was knocked out the entire audience leaped up cheering. What a fun memory.Also, if you are seeing this now you have no idea of the impact it had. It was such a staggering leap forward for special effects that it hyper-charged everyone who saw it.

@davewilliams1157 Жыл бұрын

You’ve probably learned this already, but this was the remastered version of the film. The one my generation watched in the theater was spectacular for that era, but George Lucas always wanted to add effects and visuals that he knew were impossible in 1977. For example, the Jabba the Hut sequence was shot with a human stand-in, but was never used until the digital slug-gangster could be added. Originally, Jabba was not introduced until the third film (Return of the Jedi.)

@@phillipribbink6903 It's just bad all around, but yes, the Han and Jabba bit is probably the worst. No idea why they "restored" that bit. It's a shame that that's the version of SW that kids are watching today because it lacks a lot of the magic of the original version.

@@RockBrentwood well, that might be a bit hard and OTT. But i do want to say that films that never confused anyone when i was 12 or so, seems to absolutely floor these 2 girls constantly. And i have yet to see a deep story in here. Its all very lighthearted and fun. But they seem hard to follow for them both, and that was something i never had before. A Bond film being something that needed the question so who's who here? Or, so whats he after.? Bond films by definition is the easiest films to follow. Its basically an episode of Duck Tales. And if that's hard to follow im a bit worried to be honest. But what really bugs me that in any movie they pick they want people to get together. Something i never heard anyone wish for in almost 60 years. It reminds me of the When Harry Met Sally discussion.. Men cant know a female without having to hook up with them. Oh, yes they can. You only meet a girl ever 5 years you need to see again, so thinking about dating her is even rarer. You could meet 1500 girls and never think about a single one of them ever again. Here its bound to happen. Don't get that anywhere.. The whole.. Anything with boobs must be hit on, is such a teeny thing to do. Thats like a 13-14 year old boys idea.. But not when you're past 18. . That whole romantic Outlook on life is so over by then.. Until of course something changes that. But that could take years. Its 2-3 times in a decade tops..

"Strike me down now, and I shall become more powerful than you can imagine." This line goes far deeper than most give it credit for. Here, Obi-Wan is saying that his ideals, his cause, is his own identity. He has seen Luke noticing him as they make a run for the Millennium Falcon. He knows that if Vader kills him, Luke will take that as a defining moment in his journey toward the Force; that through Obi-Wan's sacrifice, Luke will understand the evils and perils of the Dark Side, and that, ultimately, through Luke, Obi-Wan will become a foe Darth Vader cannot vanquish.

@control_the_pet_population Жыл бұрын

Well... that's one explanation. The other is that Lucas realized that Obi-Wan had no role to play in the final act, so he came up with some vague nonsense dialog to play into the vague mysticism of the force as a way to give the death some surface depth.

People then generally followed the plot well enough, however, up to that point no one has seen special effects of nearly that caliber or as "realistic" looking. It was actually shocking to witness for the first time. Akin to seeing the first lightbulb or automobile ( slight exaggeration, but still) that is mainly why Star Wars is such an enduring spectacle. The other issue is using the hero's journey template, at a time when fantasy literature was not nearly as popular or as well fleshed out.

There was nothing like it before this with these kinds of special effects at the time. Everyone lost their minds during the movie. Shattered so many records.

There was no pause button if you had to go to the bathroom. Very different times back then.

The characters don't have a lot of depth, but that's kind of it's strength as a story. They're more archetypes than individuals. The dark knight, the farmboy hero, the plucky princess, the rogue with a heart of gold, etc. Part of why they resonate with people so well is that they're timeless in a way that a deep character study never can be. You can drop these characters into basically any setting you want, and they always work. They get just enough depth that you know who they are and then you get on with the story.

A couple things. First, the Academy Luke mentioned was for pilots in the Alliance. Nothing to do with Jedi. Second, Obi-Wan became 'one with the Force', which is why he disappeared. This caused his corporeal body to die, but he remained as an apparition known as a Force Ghost, which is why he could still talk to Luke. And finally, Luke used the Force to control the torpedoes and make them enter the exhaust port (whether he realized it or not). That's why they seemed to just suddenly turn 90 degrees into the port. Otherwise, they would have likely just hit around where the first barrage hit.

Exactly. At the time it was fast paced and rather short movie without much depth. It triggered imagination for sure, special effects were amazing, characters were interesting and likable. Also most science fiction movies at the time were slow and hard to get into. Not many people thought this genre can be so cool. But it got all those characteristics exactly because it didn't get into much detail about the world, history or politics. We got only a minimum information to be able to follow the plot and understand characters motivations. And plot itself is very simple either. All this made Star Wars very easy to watch and appreciate by everybody and left a massive room for the imagination to fill the gaps. Unfortunately many of those qualities were lost after it was "enhanced".

Having story element ideas, place and character names, sequences and visuals isn't an outline. Lucas, at best, greatly embellished his "plans" for prequels and sequels. I'd say it's closer to serial lying on the matter. He made it up as he went along, and didn't bother too much about continuity, which is why ridiculous contrivances and glaring potholes exist in the prequels.

You didn't have to worry about avoiding spoilers online because there was no internet. My parents told me about going to see Empire Strikes Back when it came to their area weeks after its premiere. Every person in the theater *gasped* when Darth Vader revealed the truth to Luke. But it also was the highest-grossing movie of all time for several years until E.T. came along. So I'm definitely not saying it wasn't EXTREMELY popular. It was bigger than big. Bigger than anyone had imagined in their wildest dreams. Bigger than Fox believed possible.

It’s the perfect summation of the movie. Should’ve been in the trailer. 😂

"That's impossible, even for a computer!" and later you see one guy get off a shot using the computer but it doesn't go in. Luke needs to use the Force because that is the only way he can hit it. You are fun to watch ^_^

This movie was something special when it came out in 1977. There was no home video back then. A year later it was still playing in theaters.

I was 10 years old when I saw this at the cinema on its first release. There was a queue for several blocks to get in and it was not like anything anyone had ever seen before. Astonishing.

Hope. Accomplishing the impossible by the meekest of means. That’s what Star Wars is. Spectacular cinematography and even greater score by John Williams. This will ALWAYS be a archetype masterpiece.
