You read the life magazine for all this information didn’t you. I’ve read it about 10 times already 😅

[@TheBlckMandalorian]

This is just amazing, you really been putting in "Heavy"....work lately. Thanks so much for these, they've picked my spirits up while being down lately. Quick question, during the ESB portion you show a scene of someone eating dinner, & ready what looks like an older movies interpretation of a future newspaper that shows "The World Tonight". What movie is that scene from? It's killing me, thanks!

[@Ramdileo_sys]

NO.. it wold be an awesome video if you don't consider the Disney Lesbian parodies as part of Lucas work man.. Is so sad to think that our grand kids are going to think that this Disney trash is actually part of Star Wars....+.... what a piece of shit world man !!.. what a piece of shit world...+..... they did it .. they win.. Star Wars fans are craning...... the characters we love growing up are destroyed.. humiliated.. and replaced by this bunch of shit cunts...+..

I thought r2d2 was named after the synth used for his sounds ,not coz hes second to c3p0.&it wasn't shepperton studios for the OG film,it was Elstree studios,borhamwood UK,there's a George Lucas sound stage there.Shepperton was used in later films.

My fiance and I are HUGE STAR WARS FANS. I lost her last summer, she passed away from long standing health issues. She would have loved this video as much as I did. I hadn't been able to watch STAR WARS videos since her passing , but decided to watch this. Thank you for the wonderful information I did not know. Keep up the great work. May the force be with us all.

I remember seeing the first movie in the theaters in 1977 at 15 - it was just incredible seeing that opening scene with the star destroyer coming in and how long that moment went. I was just awestruck in my seat. The crowd cheering when the Death Star was destroyed too, it was an amazing experience! The 20th Century Fox intro tune is indelibly linked to Stars for me. Thanks for a great breakdown of the original 3 movies.

[@flemwad]

I was ten and saw it in the cinema. Unforgettably awesome experience

[@tincoral]

I was 6, and I remember my parents had to go see it first to make sure it was OK for a kid. I was hooked from that moment on...

[@DylanMadd]

Wow. I was old enough to remember the 3rd one (Ret of Jedi). It blew my mind. But living in a world with NONE of this… must have been incredible to behold.

[@webdca123]

Totally agree! I was 5 when it came out, so of course my whole life became Star Wars.

[@Manco65]

I was about 12 when I first saw it. Great movie. I already liked the older 50's and 60's era sci-fi movies and shows

[@shawnberry760]

[@w4shep]

Seeing this in a theater during that opening month was an unparalleled movie-going experience. The main things I remember is the power of that soundtrack when the movie started. It was intense. And of course, all the special effects were and action were amazing, especially the light sabers and Tie-fighters. When the death star exploded, it was so loud I think it blew out some of the low-end speakers in the theater. My final take away was the audience vibe. It was the first movie I had seen where the audience was an active part of the show. Everyone would erupt with laughter, cheers and applause at the appropriate times. For example, People went NUTS when Han Solo and the millennium falcon came back and clipped Vader to save Luke so we could take the final shot. Lastly, it was the very first movie I attended where the entire audience applauded at the end of the movie. Lots of positive energy in those theaters that summer. There is also a contest amongst all our friends to see who could see it the most. One of my friends saw it over 20 times in theater. Definitely the coolest movie theater experience I've ever had. (That's not counting drive-in theater experiences. But those had nothing to do with the movie playing.)

[@garyphisher7375]

Applauding a film at a cinema - to me that's like applauding a DVD. But you are American...

[@droleht1557]

Saying "Han shot first" is wrong. Originally Greedo never fired at all, so it's just "Han shot, Greedo died."

[@krispetty308]

The Empire Strikes Back is and will always be my favorite of the OT because that is one of the few times that my father who is now deceased took me to the the movies and the Luke and Vader characters mirror the relationship that I had with my father love the breakdown of these timeless films!

[@Endgame_01]

THX 1138 was the license plate of George's car. A car that he totaled. His seat belt broke and he was thrown from the vehicle, which was a lucky break because the car wound up wrapped around a tree

[@bradaudition]

Fantastic breakdown! I was 7 yo when the first one came out, and regularly rewatch the OG trilogy a couple of times a year. And while I'm no expert, I do consider myself to be fairly well versed in SW trivia. That being said, I learned a ton from this! I constantly found myself being surprised by an interesting tidbit that I'd never heard. This video brought an even deeper appreciation for these films that have been such a huge part of my life, and I didn't think that was possible. Thank you for that!

[@heavyspoilers]

Thank you mate, glad there was still new stuff for people

This was a great video bro! I was born in 1991 so I wasn't alive when did the original Star wars trilogy came out and even though I had seen the movies honestly it was The phantom menace that made me a fan of Star wars! I've went back and re-watched all the films as an adult and I still prefer the prequels over the original!

[@carmawarlock8455]

Dude I saw TPM in theaters like 3 times haha

[@ericawillis.]

I got to see empire in theaters last weekend for may 4th. The Vader scene hit so much harder, especially after the obi Wan series made me love Vader so much more

[@Chadow227]

Its unfortunate we won't get a Breakdown of the Prequel Trilogy. I love the OT but to me as a kid, whose first Star Wars movie was Ep.1 those are my SW movies, saw all 3 in theaters. Would love a breakdown of them. Still a stellar video though!

[@iconpoet]

Luke's Jabba plan makes perfect sense. Han was an officer in the Rebel military, so he was too valuable to be left with Jabba. First, he put Lando, a gambler, in first to gather Intel. Then he put R2 in to get a layout of the palace. Now, if you're going to rescue Han, you can't take a slab of carbonite out, so you have to thaw him out, but Leia knew he would be blind from hibernation sickness. So when they get caught and put Han in the dungeon, who's already there? Chewie. Not only that, but Leia is now by Jabbas side. When Luke comes in, his first attempt wasn't supposed to work, it was to make Jabba feel like he had the upper hand. Finally, once they're outside of the palace, the real plan can happen because Han is now free and can see, Luke has his saber and Leia was able to kill Jabba. SIMPLE

[@leecotton3242]

Very enjoyable - I learned a lot of new things about these old favorites!

[@rollzfresh]

[@heavyspoilers]

[@Alex-mi6vp]

[@DinerLingo]

It's just a little thing, but I love at the end of ESB when the MF jumps, Vader turns to walk away from the window, but before doing so he does one brief look back out the window before walking away. Is he having a SMH moment, silently giving props to Luke for getting away, mumbling under his breath about "how hard it is to get good help these days," or all of the above?

[@marjon1703]

9:05 ... By the gods! I first saw this opening scene in a cinema back in 1977 with the lasers flashing through a layer of cigarette smoke; and it still gives me goosebumps.

2:00:06 Pretty sure it's the "Spartan" helmet. The badass helmet & armor designs alone added a great portion of Star Wars' popularity.

[@tristan7586]

Awesome breakdown. When Vader says "Obiwan has taught you well.", it gives away that Vader and Palpatine were blind to Yoda living on Dagobah, otherwise they would have known it was Yoda that did nearly all of Luke's training. It also shows that years later, Vader's thoughts still dwell on Obiwan.

[@Jm4n1991]

You’re a king for this video! What a watch

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

12:44 - "..part of the costume you might not've noticed before". I thought you were going to point out that the left cheek on Vader's helmet is actually silver (but looks black due to the reflection, just like the effect on C3-PO's leg which you did mention). I'd never noticed the silver cheek and I learned about it in one of Adam Savage's videos where he gets to see and inspect the original prop helmet from '76/'77.

Feel like alot was left out but i heard so many things i never knew so ill take it. Things like Luke Calling Leia "Carrie" at the end of a new hope. Or Lando switching back and forth between wearing and not wearing gloves as he hangs over the sarlaac pit. I swear there was some weird easter egg with chewy reassembling C-3PO in the sky city too.

[@IsiahBradley]

Love this!!! THANKS for this!!!!!

[@Andy-u2g]

My elementary School took us on a field trip to the movie theater to watch Star wars. It was epic!

[@TheEmpireDabsBack]

Sometimes I like to watch A New Hope thinking that at one point, this was it. There was no plan for more. There was no EU. This was it. Viewing it under that light, it just makes A New Hope an even more perfect film. Because I know even if NONE of the other media was created, I would STILL be just as obsessed with Star Wars. And to be made almost 50 years ago. It's just insane. It's insane how much of our lives are influenced by this movie.

[@morgandude2]

I was there in '77, Star Wars was absolutely huge. It's near enough impossible for anyone who wasn't alive at that time to comprehend just how impactful this one film was. No computers back then (wish we could go back in many ways) so the only information we could get was from the novels, magazines and film clips shown on TV...that was it. The special effects were incredible, the story was simple, accessible and charming and the 'world building' was amazing. I can still watch the original trilogy to this day. Oh, and incidentally, in Star Wars, Greedo never got a shot in, Han just eliminated him, plain and simple. And I remember the TIE acronym meaning 'Twin Ion Engines' from the time of the original film, and the reason Vader wore a breathing suit was due to injuries in a fight with Obi-Wan many years prior, on a volcanic planet. He definitely wasn't Luke's Father at the time of the magazine publication in 1977.

[@silentxero5955]

27:40.The Rodians that appear with Jabba are NOT Greedo, but other bodyguards and/or bounty hunters. This was mentioned in aTales of Mos Eisly as well as other novelizations that we're published in 1997 for the Special Editions. It would have been better just to have left out the Jabba appearance as it just repeats the same dialog that Greedo had already mentioned to Han. The 1997 appearance of Jabba was a complete mess, and there had been so many problems with Harrison Ford walking behind the fill-in actor for Jabba that it was difficult to get that scene to work. It just should have been left out saving.the crew time and money as you had mentioned!

[@swars5924]

Just to maybe clear up abit about IG-88. In the expanded universe in Tales of the Bounty Hunters IG's whole story is explained and fits within the movies. He obtains self awareness as soon as he is activated and kills his creators, he then uploads himself into 3 other identical models so they basically share one conciousness and refer to one another as A, B, C, and D. They then make plans to work as bounty hunters which they were built for in the first place, and proceed to get wrapped up in the search for Han and Luke. The one on Ord Mantell was I belive IG-88D, The one on Hoth IG88B, IG88C pursued them via ship and was destroyed. IG88A eventually ended up uploading himself into the 2nd Death Stars main computer and was briefly in control of the whole station upon it being blown up. Thats the jist anyway....its been like 20 years since ive actually read it lol.

[@jonglewongle3438]

The Resistance, or the Jedis, just so happened to be in the market for an R2 unit so they pick one up from some junk dealers and it just happened to be the one with the blueprints for an Empire space station. And it was only a second choice after another R2 unit was rejected as defective. From R2D2's electronic blueprints, acquired from Princess Leaia's espionage undertakings, they know the fatal vulnerability of the Empire's space station. With the space station being maybe just hours away from being in orbital position to zap the Resistance home planet, all these Jedi craft are dispatched to attempt to score that elusive shot into the space station's vulnerable spot. Darth Vader realises that the anti-aircraft batteries of the space station are insufficient and so he flies out to take the Jedi craft out one by one. That is about the jist of it.

I grew up in the perfect time to be a Star Wars fan. Was born in 80 and my father had a vhs he recorded the original trilogy off of i think HBO. So i watched it constantly, then i was in High School when the remastered versions hit theaters followed by the prequel trilogy. The original will always be my favorite and i do feel most or the remastered changes were not only unnecessary but also not as good as how it was in its original form. I do have some problems with the prequels but still love them as i saw all in the theaters and each time i watched the originals. For Clone wars i watched originals and phantom and for revenge i watched originals, phantom, and clone wars before going to see revenge….. and the whole story ended with Return and we all lived happily ever after.
