Fun little detail at 4:25 within the Empire meeting the man wearing the white uniform is Wullf Yularen a Colonel in the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) the same Bureau Agent Kallus was apart of. you may better know him as Admiral Yularen from the Clone Wars who served on General Skywalker’s Star Destroyer. In a Season 7 episode where Ashoka and the two twins leave on there ship which gets into the path of a Star Destroyer you could see an older Yularen telling Anakin “should we sent someone to arrest them” something along these lines. Unfortunately he died in the Death Star explosion along with the other members in that room.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

I think he said in an interview he had written a rough sketch for the timeline before this. Lucas always likes to begin the story in the middle, because "beginnings are boring." In fact I think it was released in a magazine or something like that the story of the republic into the Empire back in the late '70's. If you watch The Clone Wars, which Lucas had enormous control over, a large portion of the episodes will open in some form of action or battle in progress.

[@martianmanhunter37]

@@ClassicalMusic2002 IIRC, the rough idea of how the peaceful Republic was corrupted and turned into the Empire is explained in the novelization of A New Hope. Palpatine is even name dropped but at that stage he was merely a puppet ruler under the control of Governors and military officials like Tarkin. Lucas had many themes and ideas in his head but he constantly reworked his ideas.

Oh my goodness, this is so delightful. I am 100% here for this reaction series. I've seen people react to Star Wars in (I thought) just about every watch order. I'd seen chronological, I'd seen episode order, I've even seen a few react to machete order. But it's SO COOL to see someone who is 100% up on the lore of the universe who's never actually seen the movies the whole universe is about. Literally nobody points out "that's an Ithorian" in the cantina sequence. It's a whole different kind of informed viewership and I am digging it. Subscribed!

Back when he wrote this, even George Lucas didn't know Vader was Anakin Skywalker or that Leia was Luke's brother.

[@phenompy]

Actually he did, he just didn't made the decision to set in stone yet until the next movie. Lucas had many things written down even back then, like the Siths and even Mace Windu's name were in some of his early drafts.

[@Carabas72]

@@phenompy Eh, no. He totally did not. In this film, Darth is actually his name, and not some Sith title, as you can clearly tell from his and bi-Wan's conversation. And Luke was always going to have a sister, but it wasn't supposed to be Leia. That came about because after Return Of The Jedi, Lucas was tired of Star Wars, and wanted to tie up every loose end, instead of making the original version of Episode VII, wherein Luke abandons the Rebellion to go look for his pirate queen sister in the Outer Rim.

[@phenompy]

@@Carabas72 He explicitly said it in an introduction to the 25th anniversary edition of the novelization of A New Hope. "When I wrote the original Star Wars screenplay," "I knew that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father; the audience did not. I always felt that this revelation, when and if I got the chance to make it, would be shocking, but I never expected the level of emotional attachment that audiences had developed for Luke."

[@Arsolon618]

It's fascinating watching your reaction considering you're already familiar with all the backstory, unlike us old people that watched the original trilogy first. I think it speaks to the depth of George Lucas' story that even watching the movies in a different order is still deeply satisfying, just "from a certain point of view" to quote someone in a later movie. :) :)

[@terrenceconnolly8858]

Nice to get the perspective of someone who already knows some of the story and background, so thanks for that Gaxelle! However, I think you might underestimate the "power" of watching this movie as your intro to the Star Wars universe.

[@blueroninstudios]

Peter Cushing (Tarkin) I cant say enough good things about, and neither could the cast and crew, the guy was very funny, classy, and an all around British gentleman. He and Christopher Lee (Count Dooku) were great friends for decades having done the 1950's Hammer horror Dracula films for many years. Tarkin was the first villain as a kid that i really hated, but years later I did research into a lot of the actors on the cast for Star Wars and it shocked me to find out when I was 13 that msot of the actors who played badguys were as far away from their characters as you could get. About the only one that didnt have as much enthusiasm for the material was, ironically, Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan). He didn't particularly like Star Wars but he was never really mean-spirited about it. And he did have some fun moments on set especially with Mark Hamill between scenes, and Mark Hamill has some of the msot enthusiasm for his role even to this day. And Hamill usually has the funniest behind the scenes stories.

[@armaan1091]

Apparently Carrie Fisher found it difficult to act with Cushing because he was a gentleman around her. There’s a bloopers video you should see on KZbin, as well as the fact he would wear slippers during the movie

14:27 The proton torpedoes "turned" because of the gravitational field in the Death Star, during the mission briefing you can see the simulation showing it, some people think it was Luke using the force but the only thing Luke accomplished with the force in that scene was getting a feeling on when to shoot, the targeting computer wasn't 100% accurate, shoot too soon and the torpedoes would catch up with the gravitational pull and thus hit the surface, shoot too late and they wouldn't reach the optimal angle to turn in time which would result in them hitting the surface as well. This also explains how the star fighters would crash onto the Death Star despite being on space, the station is still built on the same principle as a planet so it requires an artificial gravity field, any objects that are close enough to it would be pulled to it.

[@Gaxelle]

Wow very interesting, thanks for explaining that.

In Star Wars lore, blasters fire plasma bolts that are powerful enough to punch through most forms of physical armor and personal energy shields are extremely expensive and rare. The armor that Stormtroopers wear is supposed to protect them from ballistic damage but are specially insulated to absorb blaster bolts and improve the chance of the wearer surviving, though they will at the very least be knocked unconscious. It's not too different to the armor that our troops wear in the field, except that Stormtrooper armor is much less flexible. Lightsabers almost always cauterize any wounds they inflict instantly. However it is not unheard of for some wounds to not do so and bleed, such as when Obi-Wan "disarmed" the Ponda Baba in the Mos Eisley cantina. Luke used the Force to guide the torpedos down into the shaft. It also allowed them to avoid hitting the walls of the shaft before they hit the reactor and therefore explode prematurely. P.S. Yes, I am a nerd, and damn proud of it!

[@Carabas72]

In Star Wars movies on the other hand, Stormtrooper armour offers about as much protection as a red t-shirt.

You seem to have picked up on the subtext - Luke, flying in his X-chromosome shaped vessel down a long tunnel, seeks to shoot his payload into the female hole of the motherly womb-shaped space station causing a massive explosion/climax. Also the hole he is aiming at is described as "a small thermal exhaust port right below the main port." That's so dirty. And there was a line in the film from one of the other pilots: "Luke, will you be able to pull out in time?" And not to mention the whole idea of the boy Luke growing up to become a man by confronting his own father in a battle of giant glowing phallic symbols... George Lucas was one sick pup. LOL.

"When the Death Star was destroyed, about half of the 501st Legion was still in the hangar getting to their ships. Of those who made it out, another third were caught in the explosion. I'd fought with some of those men for over twenty years. Afterwards, those of us that survived hooked up with a nearby Imperial fleet making a retaliatory strike on the Rebel's base on Yavin IV. It wasn't the best thought out plan, but we were cut off from our leaders, tired, and operating on instinct. If not for our training, we probably would've never gotten past their orbital defenses."

Carrie Fisher spent a lot of time in England when she was younger and a bit of an accent slipped in when she was angry, which is why she sounds a bit different while talking to Tarkin.
