I wish I had the power to transport every young person back to 1977 and experience this in a packed theater (after waiting for hours in a line that wraps around the block) and experience the pure spontaneous joy and group excitement. Everyone gasped and cheered and laughed and roared with applause at the end. It was a transformative moment. I was ten years old when I had this experience and it changed me so deeply, I couldn’t even express what I had experienced afterward.

I saw Jedi when they re-released it in ‘85 here in Toronto. I was 5 so it was my only theatrical experience of SW, after seeing the first two on early VHS. I don’t remember the crowd reaction, but it was a life changing experience. Along with Explorers and Back to the Future that year, too!

​​​@@nataschasummersI was there in '77 and seeing this film multiple times and the years waiting for the next two films was a glorious period of imagination and eagerness. Before the Dark Times,.. before Disney ruined things.

One thing to remember is when this came out, it was just Star Wars. Not "A New Hope". No Episodes. Just Star Wars. Nothing like it had been done before really. There was absolutely no guarantee that this one would be a success let alone sequels so it was pretty much a self contained story.

And if you remember, there was no immediate announcement that there would (or should be) another movie. Like Natascha said, it kind of felt like this story had been told- what else was there? We didn't know about Lucas's larger vision. Sequels were not an automatic thing back then. I can only think of the Planet of the Apes series, the 2 Godfather movies, and I guess you can include the James Bond movies as having "follow ups".

[@candicelitrenta8890]

In 1983 I was married and had 2 children. One was 4 and I sewed him a Luke Skywalker outfit. I made myself Princess Leia, and because he had a beard I had my husband as Obi-One. There were no patterns for it so I took similar ones and did it that way. For the cloak of OBI I took an army blanket which was gruff enough looking to be a material the could be used tor that. I got a dress pattern with open sleeves like an angel design and put cuffs around the wrist. We went to what was called a Sci-Fi convention. That was before the Comic Books took it over. I went to those back in the 70's before Star Wars had even come out. We stood in line at the Graumans Chinese Theater opening day. May 25th 1977. We were in line for about 4 hours and it was so worth it. See the special effects that were in the first film had never been seen before because Lucas did all his own out of his creative mind. What you said looked cheesy had never been accomplished. A good portion of the creatures were CGI in 1990 when it was redone by him.

[@DerekEvans1013]

Candi, thanks I was going to say Mark and Carrie talked about in later interviews about the lines you were in California. I was 10 when this came out. We waited hours. The movie house was playing it in 3 different screens and it was still hours to get in. There was such a demand for anything Star Wars. On a lighter note the Star Wars Holiday Special was so bad. ( how bad was it). Carrie Fisher played it get of people from her home after a party. And the house would clear out.

Great reaction!! Remember seeing this in the theater back in 1977 when I was 7 years old. The entire theater was on their feet cheering and clapping during the final Death Star scene. I BEGGED my father to take me the following weekend to see it again. Definitely a mind altering experience!!

[@bluebird3281]

That isn't a model car with a doll, "Landspeeders first appear in Star Wars. Two of them-Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) X-34 and a V-35-were designed by noted special effects artist John Stears and were fitted around cars. Skywalker's landspeeder was designed and built by Ogle Design around the chassis of a Bond Bug three-wheeler car.[1][2][3] One of the major challenges the production crew faced was disguising the wheels to create the illusion that the craft was hovering.[4][5] For certain shots, they shot from camera angles that masked the wheels; for long-distance shots, they used reflective material, gelatin on the camera lens, and shadow effects. A small blur could be seen under the speeder, which George Lucas called "The Force Spot" (stated in Special Edition Tape).[4] Production designer Roger Christian used an angled mirror and a broom attached to the vehicle's underside to create, at certain angles, the illusion that the craft was hovering and kicking up dust.[3] Star Wars creator George Lucas used digital technology to enhance the landspeeder effects in the Special Edition of A New Hope.[

[@prestonturner610]

She just knew it was fake and mocked how bad it looked then didn't say anything about the realism or lack thereof of the CGI "Dinosaur" seconds later 😅🤦‍♂️

[@prestonturner610]

Loved the reaction though!

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

For some medium close-up shots they mounted a full-size mockup of the landspeeder on a rotating arm so it could go 'round and 'round like a merry-go-round while being held up off the ground. This allowed it to rotate into frame, seemingly floating in midair, with the actors sitting in the seats, and with the supporting arm hidden behind the vehicle.

[@Lethgar_Smith]

The shot she reacted to looked fake to her, I think, because it was shot from a long distance with a telephoto lens and that makes the image very grainy and there is a slight heat mirage in the lower portion of the frame. This shot was not cleaned up or enhanced in anyway and, in comparison to the footage that comes before and after, it looks out of place.

[@bluebird3281]

@@Lethgar_Smith I wasn't criticizing your crush, just letting her know what it actual was. If she asks, I will tell her you scared me away and I was defeated. Hope that helps. Good luck! She is awful cute though. Do you think a guy like me and a princess...?

[@ForgottenHonor0]

Fun fact: Peter Cushing, who played Tarkin, had very large feet and unfortunately the costume department got him boots that were too small! So, after shooting a couple scenes with agonizing feet, he went to George Lucas and explained the problem and George agreed that all the rest of his scenes would be shot from the waist up. Thus, Peter Cushing, Grand Moff Tarkin, commanded the Death Star wearing carpet slippers! 😂😂😂

[@SYLTales]

_A long time ago, in a movie theater about 50 miles away ..._ *THERE WAS NO EPISODE TITLE* The studio didn't think this film would make much money. Lucas was crossing his fingers that it didn't bomb. For all he knew, Lucas was making one standalone movie. "Episode IV" and "A New Hope" were added in later releases, to be in line with the numbering adopted with Episode V. I first saw _Star Wars_ in 1977, at the Indian Hills Theater in Omaha, Nebraska, US (pop. 1M). The Indian Hills was one of the last remaining Cinerama theaters in existence (it's long gone, now). Cinerama was an experimental widescreen format seen in the 1950s and 1960s. It had an extremely curved screen, such that films shot in Cinerama used _three cameras_ and _three projectors_ : one for the center of the screen and one for each side. Everything had to be constantly synchronized so that the film looked normal onscreen. If you see Cinerama films on DVD/Bluray/streaming today, it often looks distorted on the left and right. This is caused by converting a curved film to a flat screen. So there I was at the Indian Hills at the tender age of 12 -- the film's precise target demographic. The Indian Hills seated 810 patrons: 662 on the main floor and 148 in the balcony. It was completely packed, as was every screening of _Star Wars_ until the film left theaters I'd gotten to the theater rather late, forcing me to sit in the center seat of row one. This turned out to be fantastically good bad luck. Today, the center of row one is a terrible seat due to parallax distortion. In a theater the size of the Indian Hills, that distortion didn't exist because the screen was far enough away from the seats. However, it was close enough so that it filled my field of view from top to bottom. The screen was large and curved enough so that it filled my field of view from periphery to periphery. _Star Wars_ was shot in CinemaScope, a more popular experimental widescreen format of the era. While not technically the same as Cinerama, it still lent itself well to that screen. I watched _Star Wars_ with the film filling my entire field of view from top-to-bottom and side-to-side. I didn't have to turn my head to watch it unless I wanted to, and I usually didn't. It was an astonishingly immersive experience. Not even IMAX comes close. Add to that the massive audience reaction that shouldn't be overlooked. It was a shared experience that I've only seen at _Infinity War_ and _Endgame_ on their opening nights, when there were a lot of fans present. This audience reaction happened at every screening, in every theater, everywhere in the world, until _Star Wars_ left the screens. Imagine 810 people all cheering, clapping, jumping to their feet, and occasionally crying all at once. The shared experience was amazing, as it fed on itself. No one held back, it just kept growing and growing until the destruction of the Death Star -- which prompted massive roaring from the audience. The film itself was like nothing put to the screen at that time. While cinematically based on old _Flash Gordon_ and _Buck Rogers_ movie serials of the 1930s, this was a big-budget, big-screen version like nothing anyone had ever seen before. It completely changed science fiction on the movie screen. Until that time, you occasionally got a good science fiction film, but they tended to be years apart. After _Star Wars_ , there were multiple good science fiction movies every year, a trend that continues to this very day. There would be no modern _Star Trek_ without _Star Wars_ . _Star Wars_ was such a massive hit for 20th Century-Fox that Paramount quickly looked around and said, "Aha! We have this _Star Trek_ thing that Trekkies are always saying they want more of. Let's make it into a movie!" Thus _Star Trek - The Motion Picture_ was released in 1979. Without that, there would be no _Star Trek_ today. _Star Wars_ changed filmmaking from a business perspective. The film grabbed audiences like nothing seen in the entire history of cinema. While _Jaws_ was technically the first summer blockbuster, _Star Wars_ cemented summer as the time to release action-heavy, family-friendly films. The special effects of _Star Wars_ were utterly innovative, and the tools created by the likes of John Dykstra became commonplace in films that don't even have special effects. Almost all special effects in the Original Trilogy were achieved either in-camera, with optical effects, miniatures, extremely detailed paintings, or a combination of those techniques. CGI that allows an entire film to be shot on a green screen wasn't even a glimmer in anyone's eye. In 1977, the most advanced computers were the size of an SUV and didn't have the computing power of your phone. CGI as a primary filmmaking technique wasn't popularized until _Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow_ in 2004. By then, computing power/square centimeter had skyrocketed exponentially. The special effects spawned Industrial Light and Magic, a company created and owned by George Lucas. ILM is still in existence today, constantly innovating with new technologies to create visual effects for many, many films and TV series. From it's inception, ILM has been considered the gold standard of VFX companies. In short, this film was nothing like what had come before. It changed _everything about cinema_ . And I got to see it with an audience of 810, on a screen so immersive that I got nauseous during the Trench Run.

[@luketimewalker]

Amazing! You remind me of one commenter who saw Star Wars as a kid in a drive-in at night, under a starry sky. Where the screen ended and where the skies begain became one... he was fully expecting to see the Millenium Falcon pass over his head roaring! Cheers from Paris! I saw it at age 4 in a beautiful, immense theater that has been split into many smaller ones now.

[@talonkarrde9904]

re: Star Trek, I used to think that as well, but actually, they were already planning to make a Star Trek movie long before Star Wars came out. There is a tv talk show episode from Feb 1976 with a couple of the ST cast and Jimmy Doohan mentions that they're going to be doing a movie, and that he expected that there was going to be a series of them. So, Star Wars' impact only related to the direction they went with the movie, its budget, things like that.

[@ZakkWyld333]

The landspeeder that you thought was so funny isn't actually a model miniature and a doll. It's a full sized vehicle (and actor) with effects to blur the wheels.

[@nataschasummers]

It was actually a practical effect. They mounted a mirror underneath, pointing slightly downwards, to cover the wheels and reflect the ground.

Also, even though it was certainly not the first movie to do merchandising, _Star Wars_ brought it to an absolutely unprecedented level. Brilliant move on the part of Lucas, retaining those rights.

[@PreRockDoc]

At around 18:28 you say "that is giving me a little toy on fishing line vibe". I nearly fell off my seat laughing. When I was in 6th grade in the 70s, my 6th grades religious study class decided to do a more god-driven version of Star Wars movie as our final project. We filmed it on Super8 film, which meant we only had one take for each scene and had to film sequentially. I, an amateur model maker, built a very nice replica of Luke's Landspeeder. It was decided to use it as our main spacecraft. It had fishing line attached to the front (still connected to a fishing pole) and two fishing lines attached to the back to stabilize. The front fishing line was run thru the pull on a kitchen cabinet for angle. As we filmed the scene, and the narration said the spaceship was being pulled gently toward the Death Star (again made by me, but this time a paper mache balloon painted Grey with Sharpie designs drawn on it), the cabinet drawer was pulled open and spaceship dropped out of frame. Someone offscreen panicked and slammed the door shut. The ship then flew up and out of the scene and then bounced up and down on the rest of the way to the Death Star. When we showed this to our church, this scene got uproarious laughter and my uncle fell off his chair in the choir. It was not what we were shooting for, but I remain proud of it to this day.

[@luketimewalker]

great story! Did you upload it somewhere?

[@PreRockDoc]

@luketimewalker No, I wish. It was 1978 or '79. Over the years, the film got lost in moves and time. I have no idea where it went. It's a shame, actually. It was a tremendously fun blunder that now exists only in my memory. KZbin would have loved (and probably hated) it.

@18:10 That is actually people riding in the speeder. Originally you could see yellowish blurriness under the speeder from them using Vaseline smudged, between the speeder and the ground, on the film to make it appear as if it was floating and not riding along on regular tires.

[@thomaspappalardo7589]

But they weren’t in space, they were in atmosphere. Leia is not on a planetary surface until the final 20 minutes of the first movie.

Translation “Sex sells”

[@autolycusjohnson2987]

Bra.. not needed in space!!😅 however for boys.. the whole wear boxer shorts (cus gravity- exact opposite of the boobies idea) needs dealt with.. poor space girls

[@izzonj]

​@@thomaspappalardo7589 she was always in a gravity environment, though

[@TheMimiSard]

@@izzonj Word. Even if the gravity is fake, it still cause le sag. George didn't know shyte, as every woman needs a bit of restraint on their mammaries. Even in space (flappy flappy flappy!).

Loving the cosplay dedication and the general humour! So fun! Also thanking the algorithm gods for sending me this channel!

One thing that's always bothered me about this film, is the fact that Chewie doesn't get a medal too.

Bartender happens to be on the honor committee... "We don't award their kind in here".... Bartender has been fired from 50 bars since the new order.

[@harryrabbit2870]

Lol...Carl Sagan said the same thing.

[@nataschasummers]

i didn't notice and that's just as appalling of me - justice for chewie!

[@tvbenglishsongtranslations]

I still remember everyone in the cinemas standing up and clapping at the end. I’ve never seen that outside Bruce Lee’s ‘Enter the Dragon’.

[@xBlueSkittlesx]

Loved your reaction! Dress was perfect! Dog at the end was adorable! ❤️

[@nataschasummers]

awh thank you lovely 🩷

[@sld1776]

Natascha looked like a little kid at the end with enjoyment.

[@aceldamia9114]

The number of times she said "This looks so fake" when it wasn't got to be pretty comical.

When you called childbirth being "ejected" I almost died.

The Sand People, also known as the Tusken Raiders. are natives to the planet of Tatooine. Humans and other alien races colonized Tatooine and have gradually taken more land that originally belonged to the Tusken. Basically like the settlers taking indigenous peoples land. Some tribes of Tusken have now become raiders attacking settlements and travelers.

[@Dark_eVader]

You are crazy girl!! Those outtakes at the end were hilarious. Now I know why I subscribed on your BeetleJuice reaction. I loved that there were still so many things that surprised you even though you had a bit of knowledge and your enthusiasm is boundless. Can't wait for the next one.

[@buzbom1]

45:55 Back in 1977 I was at band practice, my younger sisters, mum and dad were at the drive ins watching this movie. My dad, not much of a sci-fi guy loved this scene and the fact that the Empire had a kind of WWII axis power vibe. This scene reminded him of several WWII B-17 bomber belly, and top turret fighting movies that he had watched during his young child and teenhood.

[@emurphy42]

"Do it!" If/when you watch the prequels, remember this line.

[@rolandnew]

I knew you’d love Star Wars. There’s a reason that single movie changed cinema forever. The Original 6 by George are complete magic. You’re in for the best 6 movie saga in cinema. Just like Lord of the Rings is the best trilogy ever made.

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

R2-D2 sounds were modelled after sounds of a baby. This is why sound design for R2-D2 sounds so cute.

[@raiderlove5923]

I love Star Wars. I was very young when it was in theaters back in 1977. I was able to see it like a decade later in the 1980's on TV and video cassette.

[@AnthonySlater-wv3lw]

Fantastic lovely to have a northern bird do a Starwars a new hope commentary x

[@TheAbidingDude95]

Ah, my favorite film. It’s marvelous to see you already getting into the cool new stuff, and I hope you have a blast with the series!

[@danmccann8813]

Even though you've heard plenty pop culture references it still surprised you to see them in context that they made all the more sense. "You've taken your first step into a larger world"

Enjoyed your reaction and love your Leia outfit.

[@toddshamburg8064]

Your reaction video was great! You are very delightful and funny! Can't wait for you to see the other two...

[@KingMarkXNIRX]

Love watching people's first time Star Wars reactions!

[@nicks.5552]

What a fun reaction! Rogue One, the movie you were thinking of with Jyn Erso, ends right before this one picks up in the Star Wars timeline. Keep in mind that the Empire still exists even though Luke destroyed the Death Star. The reason this movie ended like this is because George Lucas didn’t know if it would be successful enough to create sequels. So he made this one so that it could stand alone. Cheers!

[@Christophylax]

Do we need too?!,,,,,,,,,,, Oh I love your banter..... Its so refreshing. Welcome to The Children Of Star Wars. OH and I would never have noticed your dress until you mentioned it. Not to worry, I would be fine even if you presented "that" type of show. 😉 I remember when I met the actor who was in the Darth Vader outfit,,,,He was really cool. I was so sad when he died. He was really nice to me and my family.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

The cos play effort was absolutely worth it! ❤....thank you.

[@fozziebear5624]

When I watched in the cinema "A New Hope" for the first time (1977), then the title was only "Star Wars", without "Episode IV A New Hope". On the first day I watched it three times, on the second day four times. :)

[@Dimsen666]

The speeder is not a little toy, it is a vehicle, but they used a mirror to hide the wheels of the vehicle!

[@bigdream_dreambig]

6:04 "I love this theme tune, you know. Music is epic." The first time I rewatched this trilogy since I was a kid, I declared that John Williams was 80% of the reason they succeeded.

Just remember in the Jedi philosophy, There is no death, there is only the Force.

34:08 best reaction! “Ohhhh neeeuuuuu!” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jamespfp]

10:30 -- RE: So 3PO can understand the Beep Boop Beeps?! Can anyone else...?; A: Short answer, Yes, there is a small minority of people who can understand the language R2 is using, sometimes because they have him plugged into a screen of some kind but not always. The tones and more importantly the inflections act in exactly the same manner as body language. Again, "3 Villains of the Hidden Fortress" is surprisingly the best reference for R2's "voice" inflections. When it sounds like a scream or an excited yell, it's because Lucas is using the performance of a Japanese actor as the template for how it should sound and make the people around R2 feel.

[@jokerswild7290]

Luke's landspeeder is real. They put a mirror along the side to make it appear to be floating.

[@sweatd0g]

Great reaction! You are a delight and so funny. Keep up the awesome vids!

[@jonnycola86]

The stormtrooper who said "These aren't the droid we're looking for" "Stop that ship, blast em!" Is the actor who voiced Launchpad in Ducktales.

[@imuawarriors]

welcome to the Star Wars universe! now you must react to every movie. this franchise defined my childhood... your accent is adorable - you could be an actress in one of the movies yourself!

[@nataschasummers]

awh imagine! 😍

[@georger.3489]

Nice reaction and you look great in that dress. Already hyped for part 2.

[@nataschasummers]

out now!!

[@wmsh11950]

22:16 You reminded me of my childhood. I used to make my own lightsaber by using a bamboo and aluminium foil and then did like this.

[@abovewater6918]

I just want to thank you for the reaction. It doesn't matter what movies you watched first, all that matters is you are watching the original trilogy now and you are clearly very excited. I apologize on behalf of any rude "fans", I put quotes because true fans are just happy to see someone join this universe and enjoy it. Most of us are passionate and welcoming, a minority of fans are very vocal and sometimes toxic

[@stevecooke2893]

As a child of the late 80s, all the lads wanted to grow up as jedi. But it was always a male dominated subject. It was rare to get a lass who appreciated the franchise, let alone a pretty one. So on behalf of my generation, thank you for bringing us this, it means a lot. Ps- i was also a greyhound body type. My nana had a saying, you can't fatten a thoroughbred. It does wear off in time, but you still look amazing, Carrie would be proud. ❤❤❤

[@nataschasummers]

blows my mind that this was a male dominanted fan franchise tbh but then...different times. ❤️

[@stevecooke2893]

@@nataschasummers very true. But a lot of the girls I've been out with, didn't really give it a chance. I think it's reputation puts them off. I've learned you can take a horse to water, but can't make it drink. Still, glad to see a little more balance these days

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

"All the stuff with Daisy Ridley, all that good stuff, I've seen it all." 🥰 Every SW fan: "Them's fighting words." 😑

[@nataschasummers]

i knowwww. i'm the worst 🤣

[@tgiacin435]

With the land speeder, it was actually a car with the speeder shell. Amd to get the floating effect, the first tried a mirror, but the they smudged vaseline to the camera, which works, but left a little blur under the car which they ended up fixing in the trilogy boxset

[@PonchoBull]

I remember the time i went to the cinema as a kid to see the Episode 1. That was how i first knew about the Star Wars universe and, though is not the best trilogy, it inspired me to watch the original films. You are absolutely gonna love all of them. P.S. your dogs are amazing ❤

[@ianrastall]

I think we saw this four or five times in the theater. Back then, you would wait in a line around the theater and wait hours to get in. And they turned the Dolby up *loud*! It made me cry once, but then I was seven.

[@peterbriggs6857]

That was hilarious! You were like Emily Blunt, unrestrained. And thanks for giving me a flashback to my childhood!

[@nataschasummers]

awh thank you and of course you are mosttttt welcome 🩷

[@gmchris3752]

Crazy thing about the landspeeder shots you thought used strings and puppets - those were "real." The speeder was built on a car with mirrors over the bottom to make it look like it was floating. So the floating off the ground (the thing you accepted) was simple in-camera illusion, and the rest was actually real! This movie pushed special effects forward immeasurably, and one of the things they learned over time was that being real and "looking realistic" are oddly different things.

[@blowba]

Uncle Owen was worried about his nephew Luke and didn't want to see him hurt or killed, like his father.

[@7bestthings]

Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction! After a decade of serious and depressing movies, Star Wars put the fun back into the Movies. Looking forward to your next.video!
