Also, great job by Richard LeParmentier (Admiral Motti) selling it. The 'throat spasm' was 100% the actor, not special effects. The scene would have been effective enough without it, but really just adds a nice extra touch.

Vader's tone of voice delivering that line is sinister as hell. It's the perfect mix of dismissiveness, callousness, and amusement.

Sassing Vader is a decidedly bad idea when it comes to self-preservation.

Word

Maybe Vader’s best line,definitely in this one

To be honest without the scores in this movie it would actually suck. Let’s be honest the acting is subpar in this movie.

His scores are responsible for a lot of film success. Indiana Jones trilogy, Jaws, Superman, etc. etc.

@@christopherbascom1629 for sure.

His Star Wars score, like all his scores are emotional, powerful and help tell the story. Jurassic Park is probably my favorite.

​​@@spartan_warrior5927Alec Guinness, Peter Cushing and James Earl Jones were subpar?? Sheesh lol. They are legends and their acting was superior in this movie.

And then the greedy disney execs thought they could 'please' anyone by giving him one at the end of the new Star Trash trilogy

i could entirely be imagining this, but I have the idea that the necklaces or whatever you want to call them that the medals were mounted on, were simply not long enough to go over chewies head.

An "art house cult classic" for sure.

All of that could be true as part of the reasons he did it. Another is that it was a test of using CGI to see if he could make the prequels. By releasing them in the theater and DVD he made money to help fund the expensive prequels. Cutting the Ex out is a bonus plus extra money.

I wonder if your mom was familiar with The Planets by Gustav Holst. That was the primary inspiration for Star Wars' music. John Williams himself confirmed it.

@@PenTheMighty Sadly I can't ask her for clarification, she passed away in 2013 but I do believe she was aware of the influence. Not initially but many years later I want to say in the early 2000's she and I talked about it.☺

​@@PenTheMightyLucas told Williams he wanted to use Holst's, " The Planets " for the film.

I think it’s because at the time, we didn’t have the amazing CGI, the comic films, the groundbreaking games and forms of entertainment we’ve become accustomed to. Back then, this film felt unlike anything else before it. There had been space films and series, but this had a different look and feel. Throw in the epic music, the western film vibe mixed with eastern philosophy combined with science fiction, and my young mind was hooked immediately.

A lot happens in the first half of this film. Star Wars isn't exactly a slow paced movie.

The entire world they're in is built during that time lol

It sounded like you were describing a Christmas story in the first half of that comment lmao

We learn about the war between the galactic empire and a rebellion, how plans for a weapon of mass destruction have been stolen, a massive battle ship hunting down a rebel cruiser, a fight with laserguns, a princess sending out two funnny droids to call out for help to an old veteran who is also a space wizard, we get to know young luke who’s eager for adventure and wants to know who his dad is, meeting with the wizard who saves him from sandpeople, gives him a sword made out of light, shows him some space magic and after the empire fried his foster family they hire a scoundrel and his walking dog to go on a rescue mission to save a princess who’s planet has been totally destroyed but only after a „who shoots first“ confrontation with a bounty hunter and a mafia boss space slug. Yeah, nothing really happens in the first half….

Same here. People today who missed that transition period of before/after 1977 will never be able to understand

The sequels are trash

You are not going to lose subscribers. But you will be disappointed. Disney wiped their butt with the Star Wars story. The last 3 are not Star Wars. I would love to see your reaction.

Someone losing subscribers because of some vids they watch? That's wild. And you're right: I despise the last trilogy, but I'll still have the reaction on the side and when funny stuff is said, I can pay attention.

Who are the deranged people telling someone that if they watch a series a movies, they will unsubscribe from their channel? Seriously? I don't give a shit about Star Wars movies one way or the other. I don't care who likes them or hates them. For some idiot to unsubscribe because a person is interested in watching movies that the idiot themselves watched, is incomprehensibly irrational. Someone with that type of "thinking" has serious mental issues.

The third movie is incredible and I will take no arguments 😂

I know that feeling so very well and I agree, Welcome to the Star Wars Universe!

I will never give money to the theaters or movies until the pdfiles are gone and the people there are moral, until then I hope it all burns and collapses

@@TruthLives-ee6sf Guess we'll never see you .. anywhere then, because bad people are everywhere, and always will be.

Episode IV hadn’t been added until George Lucas was able to get more movies made. It was re-released with that new title ahead of Episode V. His story background had been changing in the earlier drafts. That’s why I am inclined to believe Anakin being Luke’s father and being Darth Vader was not in George’s mind at this point. Luke was the son of a famous, skillful Jedi who was killed by Darth Vader.

Just left comment saying same-is as illegit as the gd cgi!!! I saw this in '77 at 6 yro. Was a huge fan of the movies, but as far as Vader being Luke's dad from beginning or not, I remember there were books (not the comics) when this came out. So should be able to look up & see if was in the books? It's been so long & I was so young, but I thought this part of story was taken from book(s) already written??? ✌🌎❤

Not sure with George not having planned for Dark Vader to be Luke's father, because of the conversation between Darth and Obi-Wan when their fighting. Based on the conversation Obi-Wan seems to only have one pupil which is Darth, and Darth nor Obi-Wan bring up killing Luke's father, which would make sense because Darth never really killed Luke's father because he is him.

I was a six-year old in ‘77 also! Saw Star Wars five times in the theater and the fifth time might have been near Christmas. The movie came out in May of 1977 and just kept on chugging! It was an amazing time. Star Wars was EVERYWHERE!

It wasn't ANH when it was first released.

I guess close enough though...ancient seers and such have used something like that for centuries. In ur experience, how effective is hypnotism

@@DockingFreidmanRecords Sadly, never used his hypnosis skills on me, but my much older sisters toured with him one summer and apparently were a little too easily hypnotized. In fact the oldest sister would be 'under the influence' from just sitting in the audience! I was too young to go but those are some of my favorite stories about my dad's previous work profession as a showman hypnotist. He was quite the character! I believe hypnosis is a great therapy tool! Now I know I just wrote that he never hypnotized me but he did teach me at a very young age the concept of mind over matter like making my ears move, then one at a time etc. For example he taught me how to not be ticklish. He encouraged me to see being ticklish as a light switch. When someone tickles me I invision myself turning the switch off and now my body doesn't react or feel the sensation, but when I turn the switch on, in my head, then I'm ticklish again. So maybe that counts?🤔☺ Thanks for the question, my apologies if it's a long winded answer.

😂🤣 Facts!!!

I imagine Star Wars inspired a lot of people to go into the sciences as well.

It was ego and spitefulness. Ego for wanting to post change art, and spite for wanting to cut his ex-wife out of royalties.

And also forgot to answer that question that JL asked: Those are X-wings but what are the others called? They are classed as Y-wings and are bombers. The Toy version has one bomb underneath that could be released.

The force is strong with this one! Not many know or get that reference. Good job. 😀

Makes sense for the first film. Not the later ones...

@@IdealUser Ever read any of the military studies about how many rounds it takes on average to down ONE opponent? Hint: it's larger than you think, even for proficient markemen.

@@GregPrice-ep2dk Doesn't explain how Luke, at this time in the film series, a untrained farm boy can be a crack shot...and no he wasn't using the Force at that time. Or Han and Leia could maintain theirs under fire.

@@IdealUser First, he wasn't "untrained". he'd been shooting womp rats from his t-16 while flying through Beggar's Canyon for years. And yes, the Force DOES help explain it, just like his father had the reflexes to do such feats. Sorry, but that 's the canon explanation, and it makes sense. "Stormtrooper marksmanship" is a meme derived from a lack of paying attention to the story as given by Lucas.

@@GregPrice-ep2dk So swamp rats shoot back? You brought in the argument of combat accuracy. Explain how Han and Chewie, whom neither has the Force have superb accuracy compared to trained Stormtroopers.

It was a shame how they got portrayed in later movies as not a significant and competent threat in later movies and shows. A joke taken too seriously and too far.

The way slumping back makes it look like Bison's hat got pulled over his eyes is 👌

Actually no. Ben told Luke Vader was a pupil that killed his father and he meant it. That was how Lucas wrote the story. It was only when he began writing his ideas for, The Empire Strikes Back , that he came up with the whole idea of Vader being Luke's father.

@@philosopher0076 True. From our perspective. But I'm writing from an in-universe view.

Yeah 😊😊😊

Of course he can watch what ever he wants... but are there really "worthwhile bits" in the ST?! I would argue there are not.

Some (like me) just do not think Disney Star wars is Star Wars. However, like you said, to each their own. P.S. I discourage people from watching the ST, not because I do not think people have the right to watch it, but because I know how much they destroy the OT and its characters. I want to save them from that, like I wish someone would have been able to save me from it.

@@sandman_says_runrunner4701 Nothing has been destroyed. They're still there for anyone to enjoy over and over and over again. You're gatekeeping because you have a different point of view. If you are a Star Wars fan, you'll understand the need to reevaluate your own absurdly negative point of view.

@@valek005 Oh... so if I am a "Star Wars fan" I have to change my "absurdly negative" point of view to fit your myopic one. Got it. So tell me again who is gate keeping?! Also tell me who gave you the power to decide who is a fan and who isn't?! You do know the difference between literal and figurative... right?! Literal: physically destroying the OT trilogy so nobody can actually watch them again. Figurative: The ST destroying the lore, canon, world building, character, and character arcs of the OT. See the difference? You say "absurdly negative" I say objective. Also being a "Star Wars fan" does not mean I blindly and gullibly accept anything with a Star Wars label on it. Just because it says Star Wars does not mean IT IS Star Wars. The fact that you think the ST doesn't destroy everything built in the OT tells me you are not actually a Star Wars fan, but rather a gullible NPC stuck in the loop of consume product, wait to consume more product. If you are an ACTUAL Star Wars fan you will reevaluate your overly naive and gullible point of view. The OT Star Wars is glorious art. Disney Star Wars is a very bad and cheap knockoff. The fact that you can't discern the difference tells me all I need to know about you. I suspect you are one of those people that sees a banana taped to a wall and goes, "That is beautiful art man!"

Not ALL the CGI. The computer screen in the mission briefing for the attack on the Death Star was the first use of CGI in any film and iirc was done by engineers at MIT? ♥

@@BigGator5 haha that's so awesome!

When I think of Leia’s line: “You flew here in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.” I can absolutely see Jodie Foster, Angelica Huston, or Geena Davis delivering it. Foster isn’t as good as Carrie Fisher was for “love interest” material IMO, Angelica Huston would have been AWESOME, but I guess 1977 sadly wasn’t ready for that yet, and Geena Davis is just too tall to play against Hamill as a pseudo-love interest. Oddly, I think the movie would be almost identical if William Katt had gotten the part of Luke. Might be the first time I’ve ever thought a major character was so replaceable. He would have also muddied the waters more as far as the Ill-conceived “love triangle” played out. It was probably a good decision to cast a Luke who was less competition for Han.

If you got action figures on Christmas of '77 you were pretty special. Every other kid in America got a piece of cardboard with a promise of toys. Kenner wasn't able to make the Christmas deadline. No Star Wars action figures existed Christmas morning 1977.

@@tommc3622 I know I got action figures, but that was more years back than I care to count. I may be wrong about which year. C'est la vie

@Thom1212 It's all good. Just poking at you a bit with some trivia. I was 2 in 1977, so don't mind me. 😉

there was a DVD release with the updated and theatrical editions on separate discs a while back and there will be some still floating around you can nab online 2ndhand

It’s really a terrible excuse to do that. The theatrical films are what Made Star Wars the Cultural Event that they were. Changing them after the fact is like parading a counterfeit around and claiming that it is the same. I mean it wouldn’t be all that bad if they still released the original films, unaltered.. but they don’t. Which sucks, because I lost my original vhs collection in a house fire, and trying to replace them is terribly expensive.

There's also the despecialized editions of the movies. Although they are technically bootleg versions. So it's up to you wether or not you want to buy those.

@@subtlesraf yup i got mine, so I know 'han shot first' and don't have to see badly done Jabba out there like he is a fresh slug

I hate Lucas for that and if I ever meet him I’ll snarl!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY must have copies of the original Star Wars movies that were a blockbuster hit the day each one opened. Lucas messed with perfection!!!!!!!!!🤬

Yeah, the invention of Leia being his sister for Return of the Jedi was really ridiculous…. In fact, I have developed a strong dislike for the third film…. Lucas really blew it. Shoulda told a very different story than the one he chose…

The story decision to make Leia Luke's sister was a quick and amicable way to resolve the love triangle among Luke, Han & Leia.

His decision to take 2% of the gross profit was one of the best financial decisions by any actor. He was worth around $100 million when he passed.

Only to the younger generations (Gen-X and on). Many still think of him as Colonel Nicholson from "The Bridge on the River Kwai" or Major Jock Sinclair from "Tunes of Glory". Many also remember him as the man with a 1000 faces, due to his ability to drastically change his look for roles.

It was also an EGO stroke and a way to cut his Ex out of royalties.

Chewy is a sidekick… sidekicks don’t get awards… he didn’t want one, just wanted to yell at the audience to indicate they should clap…

It was not called "A New Hope" it was originally "Star Wars" and that was it. No "A New Hope" or Episode IV in the opening crawl.

No, it wasn't always Episode IV. There was no Episode IV in the crawl for the original release. That was also added with the subtitle "A New Hope" after the decision to make more films was made and it was added for the theatrical re-release. It starts at Episode IV because George wrote a treatment and the "Star Wars" movie came from the beginning of the second act of that treatment. This was originally an Anakin story, not a Luke story. The rest is fairly accurate though.

I remember getting the comic and seeing the stormtrooper on the dewback, and being confused because it wasn't in the original movie. 25 years later the puzzle is complete!

@@stacy_rose7820 But there was a Storrntrooper on a Dewback in the original movie.

@@sandman_says_runrunner4701 You're right on the episode IV, mis-remembered that part. I wasn't wrong about why, though. It wasn't originally an Anakin story - at least not Anakin as he would be presented in later movies. The name Anakin (Annakin) did appear in some of the early drafts, but the story was nothing like what it would become, and the character was effectively what Luke would become (the name Luke Skywalker was also used, but again, just a different name on the Obi-Wan analog). The drop in in the middle of the story was very much inspired by Flash Gordon and old movie serials. George Lucas has a way of re-editing his own history, just like he does with his movies. You can watch/read old 70s-90s interviews with George about what he 'always had planned' for Star Wars and compare them to late 90s-current interviews and they are usually very different things. This is why I say you can't even trust George.

@@ArmouredPhalanx No, you are wrong on the why also. That is why I said a treatment and not a script. George laid out a TREATMENT of the story, which is only a more detailed outline, but when it came time to make the movie he realized he had to narrow his focus. In order to make a singular movie he focused on the part that became "Star Wars" and fleshed that out. The part that was focused on was the beginning of the second act of the TREATMENT, and the reason it became Episode IV in the overall. It was originally an Anakin story in the TREATMENT, but became an Luke story for the movie script. Whether is was Anakin, Anakin Skywalker, Annikin, or Annikin Starkiller is irrelevant. Luke Skywalker was originally Luke Starkiller since Anakin was originally Annikin Starkiller, and the original title of the treatment and synopsis was "The Star Wars". His very first treatment was "Journal of the Whills" but was only 1 1/2 pages long. The more detailed treatment "The Star Wars" was 13 pages long written in 1973. This morphed into "Adventures of the Starkiller. Episode I: The Star Wars" (1975). Which in turn morphed into "The Adventures of Luke Starkiller as taken from the Journal of the Whills. Saga I: The Star Wars" (1976). It was during the writing of "Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back" that the episodes came about. There was a fleshed out background made for the story which became the PT and hence why "The Empire Strikes Back" became Episode V and "Star Wars" became Episode IV and "A New Hope". It was also during the second draft writing of "Star Wars" Episode V The Empire Strikes Back" that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader merged into the same person. The film "Star Wars" might have dropped into the middle of a story similar to Flash Gordon, inspired by Flash Gordon, or even as an homage to Flash Gordon. That is film technique and styling. However, again, the origin of the movie and the numbering system wasn't. To reiterate, realizing his back story could be made into a trilogy he then numbered "The Empire Strikes Back" V, that is why "Star Wars" became IV, and the PT I, II, II.

You forgot the"squabbling peasants" of "The hidden Fortress" (1958) which look/sound like R2D2 and C3PO.;)

Also from the serials of his youth... Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. EDIT: (visuals, opening crawl, screen wipes, etc.)
