I love the scene when Vader is choking the Admiral through the screen, and his monologue with orders directed at, at first, CAPTAIN Piett, and as Admiral Ozzel lets out his final breath, Vader says: "You are in command now, ADMIRAL Piett!" This is also referenced later in the movie when The Falcon goes "invisible" by latching onto a Star Destroyer, and Vader tells Piett: "Don't fail me again.. Admiral." as a reminder on how and why he was elevated to the rank of Admiral ..

[@echobucket]

BTW. I would personally classify Star Wars as "Space Fantasy" . Star Trek is actual Science-Fiction because it's assuming most of the time there's no magic, everything that happens is based in some kind of science, just in the far future where we have more technology.

[@Stogie2112]

Space Fantasy, Space Opera, it's all good. It's supposed to be enjoyed - not analyzed. It's definitely not "hard" science fiction, where the story is based on plausible technology and people and events.

[@ptthatswhatshesaid]

She might find Star Trek more interesting in that aspect since she enjoys hard science fiction more

[@Fishmorph]

Lest we forget, Star Trek also has beings with telepathy who can exchange themselves into new bodies, god-like beings with reality-bending powers, whole planets full of shapeshifters, artificial gravity, holodecks, sex robots, and time travel. So maybe let’s not put Star Trek too far over the line into “hard sci-fi.”

[@ptthatswhatshesaid]

Ok... So it is a bit fantastical too then 😅

[@LeChaunce]

Star Wars is mythology posing as epic fantasy wearing a space opera costume. Star Trek is medieval morality plays wearing a suit of space fantasy that uses actual science consultants to stay as plausible as possible.

[@civwar64bob77]

I love the old school practical effects. Back then, there hadn't ever been any CGI characters, so no one had a problem with Yoda. And they put in all sorts of interesting little things in the effects, like at 21:53 when the first TIE fighter gets hit by an asteroid, the pilot is thrown clear.

[@Stogie2112]

In this episode we get the "Introduction to Jedi Philosophy". We learn how the Force works and how a Jedi should control his emotions. The Jedi Order is somewhat like a Buddhist school, where priests learn to renounce their selfish desires and emotions, as they always lead to suffering. Selfishness, impatience, jealousy, fear, anger and hatred are all shunned. Romantic relationships are not allowed, as they can lead to selfish desire and jealousy. A Jedi Knight must be committed to loving "everyone" and not just a select few. My favorite part is when Luke asks Yoda, "Is the Dark Side stronger?" Yoda quickly says, "NO. Quicker, easier, more seductive." Luke: "How do I know the good side from the bad?" Yoda: "You will know when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense - never for attack."

Wish we had more time spent with Luke's training, love those scenes

[@bobbombar6711]

@ptthatswhatshesaid in the old e.u the time given that Luke spent on dagobah was about 6 weeks in total . If they spent mire time showing the training they would have had to make two movies.

[@mykotron]

Before Obi Wan stands ready for Vade to kill him.. he looks over and sees that Luke is there.... he does this in this moment to martyrize himself. He clearly notices Luke and smiles for this reason. The reason Vader wasn't so surprised about Obi-Wan disappearing... It may have confused him but there is a lot going on and he used to be a Jedi so he's seen MANY MANY amazing things in his time as a Jedi Master.... he's probably seen other Jedi disappear before.

[@stuffyouotterlistento1461]

Darth Vader isn't the kind of guy to say "What the hell?!" but the fact that he stood there prodding Obi Wan's fallen robe is, I think, a good indication that he was thinking precisely that.

[@mykotron]

@ yeah it def threw him off but he’s also see a lot of shit so it makes sense he could quickly get over it.

[@23Prospero37]

The energy required when Obi Wan becomes one with the force is so vast, it consumes his corporeal body

[@stuffyouotterlistento1461]

This is as good of an in-universe reason as any. I think the main behind-the-scenes reason he disappeared was that they wanted to have something dramatic to indicate that this wasn't a normal death. As why he chose to sacrifice himself at all, I can only assume he knew there was no way he was escaping, and he chose to sacrifice himself so that Luke and everyone would leave without him. Also, if he hadn't voluntarily sacrificed himself, he might not have been come back as a ghost.

I have a story related to something said in the movie! I was in the Navy on submarines, and in January 2003 I was on my second submarine, and the end of my contract was coming up and I had already decided not to sign up for another four years. We were doing a fire drill on the nuclear powered fast attack submarine, USS Asheville SSN-758. All submariners must be "qualified in submarines" and also "advanced firefighter". So I was there with my FF gear on, which includes an "annunciator", device that makes it so others can hear you when you are wearing a FF mask. It also broadcasts the sound of your breathing if it it is heavy enough, so you can sound like Darth Vader. Since I was about the get out of the Navy, I made darth vader sounds, and then I said, "Luke, *I* am your father!" in a Darth Vader voice! And someone said "shut up [my last name]". I chuckled, but softly enough that the annunciator would not pick it up. I then said "search your feelings, luke! You know it to be true! Join me, and we will rule the galaxy as father and son!" lmao. Normally, I would probably get Captain's Mast for behaving that way, meaning, appear before the Captain so that he may punish me as he sees fit (in other branches, this would be known as "Article 15"). But, since I was getting out of the Navy, nobody cared. But some thought it was funny lmao. 😂🤣😂

There's a rumour going on for years that he shot the scene where he fells from Cloud City after the battle with Darth Vader (where he lost his hand) after staying up all the previous night, while his wife was giving birth. However, Mark himself set things straight, stating that he was originally given the day off for the birth of his son, but was called nine hours after delivery to come in for one shot. It was for a scene in the Battle of Hoth, where he was in front of a green screen firing up at an AT-AT and then had to dive headfirst in to some fake snow.

A note on why Han was put in carbon freezing .. Harrison Ford unlike Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher had not agreed to do the 2 sequels after the first movie. George Lucas created a way that Han not be necessary for EP6.. Before the premiere of EP5 Harrison had agreed to do EP6. 😊 Also the reveal that Vader was Luke's father was the biggest secrets ever kept in cinema. It was filmed so that Vader said "Obi-Wan killed your father" the change was added post production and only 4 people were aware; George Lucas, director Irvin Kirshner, James Earl Jones (voice of Vader) and Mark Hamill.

Seriously, the whole point is us fans getting to share our favorite things with new people. Not everyone is going to love the same things, but it is that the films live on, immortalized in new hearts.

[@user-im2ex9zw6j]

this is just my opinion but if you continue with star wars after these first three go straight to andor i bet youll like it :)

[@exoterric]

@user-im2ex9zw6j agreed. I tell folks, the OG trilogy, Rogue One and Andor. I got super jaded when the prequels came out and I lost my faith completely at the sequel trilogy. Some of the animated stuff was OK I guess but it's not for me.

[@michaelweiner4836]

@@user-im2ex9zw6j You need to stop telling people what you think they need.

[@jeffburnham6611]

A few things you'll notice as you watch the movies, is how the concept and construction of R2 changes. The prequels have him doing things he should have been able to do in the originals. I don't recall Lucas or anyone saying the movies were for kids.

[@zedwpd]

The team was just introduced to each other in the first one. They now now each other and have a better rapport in the 2nd one.

[@ptthatswhatshesaid]

Yeah, the characters work REALLY well in this one!

Daniel & Lucy, do you know of the Star Wars cameo in "Raiders of The Lost Ark"? When Indiana Jones and his friend Sallah are first opening the Ark, we can see hieroglyphics on the column behind Indiana. Behind him and to his right. Among the hieroglyphics are the images of R2D2 and C3PO. You have to look quick, though! We only see it for a second or two.

[@Josiah-X]

Chewbacca is not a monkey, clearly a monkey doesn’t look like him. lol Chewbacca is a Wookie. Just to clarify for Lucy.

She knows. Just refuses to learn.

Ahahah yes she knows, but for this saga she has made up her mind, his name is "Monkey"!

1:09:22 - Ben Kenobe wanted Luke to see him get struck down. I guess to motivate him. They do try to explain what happened more in the later movies.

[@stevesheroan4131]

As an admitted Old Head, I would say that if you finish the original trilogy and then show Lucy Rogue One, you will have done your due diligence toward the franchise. If she’s not interested in going any further after that, then it won’t be because of a lack of effort or for not giving it a fair chance. She pays really great attention, especially considering her lukewarm interest in the genre, which is all anyone can ask.

[@ptthatswhatshesaid]

I admit that I also like Rogue One, which is an anomaly in more recent Star Wars movies 😅 Depending on the interest of people here on KZbin , we shall see how much more we will dvelve in this franchise. But Rogue One I Will show her for sure

[@janak132]

As to why the body disappeared.. it is never explained. I think it is based on the fact that energy and matter are two sides to the same thing on the quantum level. I think the idea is that the sum total of the energy trapped in the mass of the body got transformed into energy, making them a lot stronger. Look at the amount of energy you get when matter and anti-matter collides and transforms into pure energy. The amount of energy you get from matter totally transforming into energy is stupendeous. I think parts of the spiritual community have been enamored with this ever since Einstein formulated E=mc² and that this idea found its way into Star Wars.

[@thundernels]

For the record, I loved your Star Wars reaction. Such a fresh take! I fear that the comments section has broken your spirit. Maintain your smart, astute, and snarky reactions no matter how hallowed (or perhaps because of) the material reviewed may be.

[@JohnVinylGen]

The "monkey", Chewbacca, is actually based off a dog. George Lucas had an Alaskan Malamute and that's where Chewey's design comes from .... so I've heard. Although I don't see much resemblance to that breed. Chewbacca looks closer to a Briard (dog breed) like the dog in the sitcom "Married with Children".

[@chrysippus4321]

It probably went through several iterations. I think I remember the studio wanted chewie to wear pants.

[@williamrosmer8381]

luke not being able to lift his ship is a symptom of him being too old. he's learned to expect physics to work a certain way and it clouds his ability to use space magic to ignore physics.

[@cesarmedina7080]

As well as his disbelief it is possible. As he admits "I dont believe it" and Yoda responds "That is why you fail"

[@ptthatswhatshesaid]

Disbelief is I think the main reason yeah

[@quoniam426]

Fun fact, Leia insulting Han about being a stupid dirty and ugly peasant essentially (Nerfs are like sheep that you can look after and breed to make food in an Age of Empires style SW video game: Galactic Battlegrounds. It's only while playing this game that I understood the meaning of the insults), is a direct call back to her used to being royalty... Royalty that she's not anymore thanks to the Empire destroying Alderaan. What you've got to understand with the Empire is that their weapons are more designed to terrorize than being really effective. Real tanks would of course be much better.

[@blowba]

The Empire is massive. There were 1.5 million member planets and 69 million colonies. The Imperial fleet was made up of 25,000 Imperial class Star Destroyers and many other type of ships.

[@martensjd]

You're definitely right that this movie is more fantasy than SF.

[@sueacord1678]

George Lucas wrote this epic screenplay and realized it could not fit into one movie, so he began to break it apart into different movies. So he took the middle part which became episodes 4, 5 and 6. Many years later he made the prequels that led into the original movie. Once Lucas sold the rights to Disney was when it began to go a little crazy.

[@TheHa2s]

She's getting there! Lol it's not over yet! But with Ben... Obi-Wan chose to become one with the Force, allowing him to transcend his physical form and exist as a Force ghost, a power unique to Jedi who have mastered this ability!

Wow I just found the channel. It sounds like a bunch of rabid fans, lacking any social graces, just attacked you for not being nerdy enough for them. I'm sorry humans can be so obtuse. Reaction channels are supposed to be about sharing an experience not demoralizing folks.

Thank you very much ☺️ It doesn't happen often, but we get it since we were not just praising the movie 😅

[@visionaryventures12]

The organization of the movies is easy. There are three trilogies: prequel, original and sequel. There are also two movies between the prequel and original trilogies. She is correct. The three trilogies let the entire conflict play out. Aside from sideways stories which explore aspects of the universe, adding perspective on the trilogies, there is no further theme to play out before you begin repeating yourself.

[@reecefullerton4252]

Star wars is more of an epic fantasy just set in space than true science fiction tbh

[@jpiccone1]

That was really delightful. For a scifi hating wife, you really understood everything that was happening and had a lot of smart things to say - I loved that you noticed that the Imperial Walker was not a good design for a tank. Luke understood R2 when they were in the X-wing because R2 was texting him on the little screen Luke kept looking at. The changes made from the original are that the added lots of windows in the cloud city, which makes sense, but it ruined the claustrophobic atmosphere that contributed to the sense of hopelessness. Another was they cut up the final action sequence by having pointless cutaways to Vader geting on his shuttle and heading back to his ship. The snow monster was barely shown in the original, which made it scarier. But overall, this is the least mutilated of the trilogy. I almost forgot - in the original when the monster spit out R2, Luke said "It's a good think you don't taste very good" - it's incomprehensible why they changed that line. Finally, the color editing was messed with and shifted everything red, which reduced the coldness of the city - it was more blue and yellow in the original. Return of the Jedi has a horrible change at the end. Hint: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
