Actually....they got their own show ^^

There was an animated series called Droids which followed C-3P0, R2-D2, and their string of owners prior to A New Hope. If you do watch it, keep in mind that it was barely cannon then and it isn't a part of their official history since Disney bought the franchise.

Funny you should say that because they actually did have their own show. It was an animated show called Droids.

In the original screenplay George Lucas had originally called the Force the Weird Ass Connection, but decided the Force was more straightforward. In regards to no blood when Luke gets his hand cut off, the light saber is also very hot so it seals the wound at the same time. In olden days when a person had a limb amputated the medics would in fact seal it witha hot iron to stop the bleeding. Lucas was in a really bad car accident in his early years and this likely inspired his obsession with damaged limbs. His best movie IMO is American Graffiti, which I hope you see soon. 👍💕

At 24:14, does that not look like a fun? I'd be like "Were! Smile for the camera *throws up hand gestures*" as I slide down that tunnel.🤭

LMFAO we love Solo

@@Centane Like the Director Irvin Kerschner explained: They did the shot over and over. Han said: i love you too. but that just wasn´t it. So he told Harrison Ford to improvise.... He did it the Han-Solo-Way: -I love you. -i know. --- Cut! Perfect.

@@Nostalgeek It just fits his character more

@@BDRmongoose ...just as Han shooting first does. Lucas destroyed his own creations through his ignorance and his inability to see his own characters. Yes

Oups

@@S.M.Jean-Mahmoud_Ier your point??

Or, you know, she's seen it before or at least knows key VERY common facts about the movies. Even people I know that haven't seen the movies know that Vader is Luke's father, for example.

@@Fyrecide it does say “first time watching”

​ @Fyrecide You must remember that when these movies first came out, fans didn't know any of the family relation stuff (Darth Vader being corrupted Anakin Skywalker or Luke & Leia being siblings [and the children of Anakin & Padame]) and so, some actively shipped LukeXLeia rather than HanXLeia until the reveal in the 3rd (technically 6th) movie that the prior 2 are brother and sister. The Muppets even played this for laughs when Luke Skywalker (who was dressed in his _Empire Strikes Back_ outfit before the 2nd film released to theaters, so _The Muppet Show_ appearance was before the introduction of Yoda, even though Frank Oz was on the show performing Miss Piggy), the Droids (C3-PO & R2-D2) and Chewbacca the Wookie guest-starred on _The Muppet Show_ & Miss Piggy dressed up as a porcine Princess Leia to flirt with the Jedi-in-training (not knowing at the time, of course, that Luke & Leia are brother and sister) as well as threaten to [pork] chop him down to size if he didn't play along with the Muppet's variety show antics. At the end, for the grand finale, the Muppets & the stars of _Star Wars_ all stand on the planet Koozbane set & sing Disney's anthem "When You Wish Upon a Star" in front of a faux castle prop as a bit of foreshadowing, since both Star Tours & MuppetVision 3-D both came to the theme parks years before Disney's acquisition of both the Muppets in 2004 & LucasFilm Ltd. (thereby securing ownership of _Indiana Jones_ & _Star Wars_ indefinitely, in perpetuity) in 2012. _The Muppet Show_ guest appearance of the stars of _Star Wars_ (Luke Skywalker [and his actor Mark Hamill, as the future Jedi's green screen "cousin"] the two droids -- C3-PO & R2-D2 -- and Chewbacca the Wookie) that foreshadowed both franchises getting bought out by Disney (the Muppets in 2004 & LucasFilm Ltd. in 2012): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7B_ecp2q728aWQ.html The lowkey shipping of LukeXLeia was still going as far as the 1984 original version of _Muppet Babies_ was concerned when the toddler Muppets lampooned both _Star Wars_ & _Star Trek_ as well as Hanna-Barbera's _The Jetsons_ all together within the same episode ("A New Generation"), with multiple versions of Baby Kermit for Baby Piggy to flirt with (first as the Jane Jetson to her version of Kermit as George Jetson [with their theme-in-a-box unseen singers just randomly pestering them every time the mock _Jetsons_ theme is played], then as Captain Kirk-met portraying Captain James Kirk from the original _Star Trek_ & then, as Kermit Skyhopper portraying Luke Skywalker from _Star Wars_ [at which point, Baby Piggy takes some chocolate donut rolls & puts them against her head to replicate Princess Leia's looping braid hairstyle]), since even the original _Muppet Babies_ came out before _Return of The Jedi_ released to theaters, thusly revealing to anyone who's been living under a rock for the past 30+ years that Darth Vader is the father of both Luke & Leia, so that as such, Luke & Leia are thereby brother & sister.

It is funny how the good-guy sabers cause bleeding but the sith sabers cauterize the wound

@@TheGunderian yeah...

@@kingscorpion7346 i don't recall any blood when Mace Windu lost his hand lol

@@jeffburnham6611 probably just an oversight.... 😁

@@TheGunderian it was an oversight in the cantina scene at the time but the EU has since ret-conned this as a trait of that species (aqualish) that prevents cauterization.

Thanks Dad.

Ha ha - brillliant!

he heheh HAHHA whoa ive never heard that one!!!

In most countries this is a grade A felony, you know.

HAHAHA this is top tier comment

though in real life, given the amount of energy lightsabers are seen to put out, upon contact with a fleshy, juicy, moist, carbon-based lifeform like a human being, that human would immediately explode violently in a messy, bloody burst of steam and flaming entrails. Kyle Hill did a video on this once. The cauterization thing is silly.

Yep, came here to mention that a light saber instantly cauterizes when it cuts off a limb...if done precise enough. If the strike is kind of sloppy though then there will be blood, like with Ponda Baba.

@@nooneofconsequence1251 Death stars, light speed and wookies seem a little silly.

@al alex no... really if it got anywhere near you at all you would instantly burst into flames and all the moisture in your body would start turning into steam super rapidly and start shooting out your pores if not ripping your skin apart. Star Wars is not science. It's fantasy. ... and a million nerds suddenly cried out in terror...

@@nooneofconsequence1251 Ah, but the speed the saber cuts might mitigate this effect. Kind of like how people are able to walk on hot coals if they walk fast enough.

AMEN. She just has to change the DVD

Yep, I remember that was the one big criticism of the movie when it came out. They actually extended the ending for the movie between the 70mm and 35mm releases to try to address that criticism (the original was even more abrupt).

That was the longest three years of my young life.

Wait three years and read rumors in Starlog magazine.

@@juliusperseus8612 huh?

Exactly. They both have weird asses.

The droid equivalent of Laurel and Hardy.

@@stevebinning977 I think that was the idea

@@stevebinning977 That is EXACTLY the way the entertainment section newspaper article described them in May 1977. Read it before seeing the first movie (and that was about all I knew going in). Had to agree. Her reaction to them is especially dear.

All part of the deception. The quick, easy path that leads to the dark side. He only said that in the hope it would sway Luke to go with him to complete his training with the Imperial Master. Luke would, of course, end up replacing Darth Vader if the Master had it his way.

@@j0hnf_uk You think so? Take a careful look at the next movie, just when the Emperor says "And now, I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker..." If that isn't a considering, even fearful look from Vader, I don't know what it is. Just how much DOES his master sense?

@@jean-paulaudette9246 "I wonder if your feelings on this matter are clear, Lord Vader." That line, more than any, makes pretty plain the Emperor's suspicions.

At least in the novelization, Vader is playing both sides. He's impressed by Luke's resourcefulness. I recall from the text Vader considering that Luke, like he, was no fool; and on the Endor moon, Vader almost smiling when Luke tries to use the Force to influence Vader to not take take him to the Emperor. If Luke had agreed to take Vader's offer, the question is whether Palpatine would've called dibs. Vader sells it to Palpatine as "if he [Luke] could be turned, he would be a powerful ally." Palpatine would've seen it simply: Luke and Vader will eventually fight each other, one will be victorious, I'll get the victor, evil Sith lord for the win, baby! But seeing how powerful Luke is, and now aware that he has a son which Palpatine hid from him, Vader's thinking "We'll take Palpatine down, rule the galaxy together, end this dumb war, and to hell with the Rule of Two." The prequels show that Anakin is about somebody wise calling the shots for the good of all, whereas Palpatine is about submitting the galaxy to his will. Yes the Rule of Two hadn't been articulated at this point, but Palpatine's tart question about whether Vader's feelings were "clear on this matter" was a signal that Palpatine did sense something was amiss; and it's clear that Palpatine saw no issue with Luke taking Vader's life and becoming the new Vader.

@@alvarofernandez5118 Note related but Palpatine actually broke the rule of 2. Not by having apprentices but by killing his master on his sleep, instead of fighting him in fair trial.

Yes! Though I think it's also a bit of his real personality to. He's very much like the oddball drunken master type mentors in martial arts films.

And he loses ALL his charm in the prequels when he turns into a crummy CGI thing.

@@porflepopnecker4376 His attitude in the scene with Obi-Wan and the younglings in AotC is similar to this.

@@adamwarlock1 20 years in isolation will do that.

​@@blanewilliams5960 I was there Gandalf... Three thousand years ago

She has a bad feeling about this!

It's weird. I don't remember my first viewing of Empire back in 1980, but I do remember the first time the trailer showed on television and me sitting on the floor in front of it, losing my motherf---ing mind. Back then, there was no steady drip of information from the internet about film releases, so seeing the Millenium Falcon weaving through those asteroids was the first Star Wars anything we'd seen for more than two years. It was more exciting than Christmas morning.

To be fair to her, Obi-Wan used a lightsaber on that guy at Mos Eisely and there was a lot of blood. It’s kind of ambiguous.

@@mitloppas3559 The outside answer it's a plot hole because George Lucas had not decided how lightsabers worked yet. He changed his mind several times (no spoiler, "there is another" is an example too how that secret that wasn't originally planned)

EXACTLY!

That and they didn’t want the movie to be rated R.

@@jotham777 There was a bloody chopped off arm and burnt skeletons in the first but still rated PG. Was the MPAA really going to make ESB R rating? Never heard that before.

While the accident actually happened, the scenes being rewritten to accommodate his injuries is 100% false, and have been disproven by Lucas & Hamill themselves multiple times.

I don't care if Lucas & Hamill supposedly "disproved" that story. It's absolutely true and the scene WAS meant to explain the injuries to Hamill's face.

@@porflepopnecker4376 Well, I'm sure we'd all be fascinated to hear your evidence and to know what source you have for your theory that's more primary than the creator of the films and the actor that played the character.

And this may or may not be a rumor.

@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Playing devil's advocate here, the ones who say it's false are also not providing any evidence aside from their word.

If you don’t mind me asking, what did you work on during Star Wars Episode 2? I am aspiring to have some part in movies whether it’s filming, cgi or anything else, I would be interested to know what your part was…

@@thatrodeoguy2461 generally on the big films i was in construction, building space ships and Kaiju and the like, but for Star Wars II I was just a featured extra, loads of fun. The way to get on the films is to join the union first, be sure of what you are going to do and then start asking people in the industry to give you a shot or how to get in. I've directed and produced many films but i found so much joy in building sets.

Exactly. Lando was in an impossible situation and had to choose (per Spock) the needs of the many over the needs of the few. Especially since, in the novel and comic book, a lot of the people there were hiding from the Empire and under his direct protection. I really don't get why people act like he was just being selfish or a jerk. He did what anyone in his position should have done

"I had no choice, they arrived right before you did"

Like he said, he had no choice.

understandable D:

Imagine waiting in line at the movies only for some moron to come out spouting the big spoiler.... my uncles' brother got arrested for beating up one of those big mouths! LOL

@@deegee6863 but in my opinion, he did good.....

And some time during those three years I built my first lightsaber hilt. Wore it to opening night of RTOJ.

@Kristopher Chavez wouldn't say the scene is indicative of Vader possibly being related to Luke somehow, but I would agree that both Ben and Yoda warned him about the dangers of giving into the darkside (the darkside is quick to join you in a fight).

didnt stop the blood in the cantina in EP IV though

@@thabudmaster , True, I had thought the same, but even though freshly cauterized the vessels can be burst open by impact, and the arm and body were both pretty beefy with the effect of having a hard fall could well have burst or torn some of that open. Otherwise, movie magic, no real need to over think it. Or maybe it was just Luke's Force Power, he's growing all those different X-chromosome powers for himself.

Light sabers or heavy sabers?

WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO

Fun fact: in Italian dub, light Saber is translated as "spada laser" that's to say "laser sword", because otherwise it would be translated as "spada di luce" and this name is cringe for every Italian

Yeah, she;'s all about Artoo and Threepio, the bickering metal married couple, lol!

That makes sense... Now explain how a cat like you can type in comments.

@@carm3d and why does this cat have two first names

Well, to be fair he's in a space station over tje atmosphere of a gas planet, it's a sci-fi miracle there's gravity in Cloud City in the first place so I'm not that bothered by that fall, once you're far enough from any surface the vacuum chambers probably don't have much gravity.

@@groovemoustache He's IN the atmosphere. He can breathe outside the city, as could Han and the others when they landed. The city is well within the gravitational field of Bespin. Luke never hits the bottom of the shaft-he's sucked into an exhaust vent on the side of it.

Or a callback to the cantina.

@@crapstirrer can't have a proper Star Wars movie without a limb or two being removed

Was just reaizing that Jedi prefer to cut off an aggressor's arm, rather than kill them. In a world where you can get robotic limbs this is very humane

@@TheGunderian And by cauterizing the wound, even the abominable snow man was able to live on, one-armed. I imagine the Sith aren't any more vicious with their cuts because spilling guts would create too gruesome scenes for a movie series that was designed to be kept open for children to watch.

@@jeremyfrost2636 Lol, oh sweet. I haven't read that, gotta check it out. Edit: Okay I read the description in Wookiepedia. Thrawn was mentioned, so I gather this is a somewhat central piece of Legends lore? Yet someone called Callista was mentioned as Luke's love interest? Is this a separate time-line from Mara Jade? I've only read one Legends book, something that was mostly about Boba Fett and maybe Bossk, I think. Now that you mention, this would be a great time for me to get into that Luke Skywalker Legends stuff!

That is actually a spoiler, idiot.

Please don't waste time on the prequels..

That part to make me LOL Hahaha

The funny thing is I never even noticed, my whole life, scars or any difference to his face at all, so it's hilarious to me they even wrote this scene to explain that. I didn't know about his accident til this year when I've seen others tell this story.

This is 100% false, discredited by both Lucas and Hamill himself.

It's not false, Carrie Fisher claimed it was done. They even shot a scene with the medical droid repairing his face, to further explain the differences. Lucas denied it was intentional but the fact they tried to explain it says otherwise. Lucas lied to his actor, to help him not be worried about it. Hamil himself still wonders if Lucas told the truth. Lucas is not exactly the most credible person, He thought Kathleen Kennedy was great and also gave us Mr Binks.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a Hamill video of him talking about his accident and how the scene was written to explain whatever changes to his face there were. So imma have to say this is a true story bro. But like I said before though I never noticed any difference personally, I still don't really.

As a kid, I always imagine that those tube where apart of the air propulsion system that kept Cloud City in the air. Air funneled through the central shaft for the main propulsion, then redirected through the smaller tunnels for balance.

Near Finse, I believe

Yes and no, she had before knowledge that spoiled part of the moment, but she didn't know about the lead up, adding a severed hand to the limb count, and that got her.
