STAR WARS Breakdown! A New Hope Analysis & Details You Missed | Wookieeleaks

[@zacatronattack]

You missed the part when Luke's aunt says "he is too much like his father" and Uncle Owen said "that's what I'm afraid of".

[@tyrantbossmedia2230]

Aunt Beru says, "He has too much of his father in him."

[@xMRxZEROx]

@SwenglishGamer um, you do realize that when they have that conversation that they are aware that Vader is Anakin, right? I always took him saying that as fearing he'd end up evil like his father. I'm sure that Obi-Wan would have talked to Owen over the years about why Luke was with him, what his father was like growing up, etc.

5:15 To be historically accurate, the name "Stormtrooper" comes from the specialist shock troops used by the Germans in WWI. The name simply stuck in popular culture for German troops in general, even those in WWII, because their uniforms were similar. On the other hand, the troops who wore the skull and crossbones badge were the SS, elite fanatic troops who were responsible for the more grotesque actions during WWII.

And among them in the cast were Perry King, Keene Curtis, Brock Peters, Meshach Taylor, and others. This version added a great deal of detail to the story, including Luke hanging with his friends at Anchorhead and Leia having to kill an Imperial officer named Tion and escape in the Tantive IV.

When obi wan and vader were fighting, the lightsaber props were made of glass to make them illuminate more when the effects were done. Because of this, the props themselves were not able to touch each other because they would break if they did. That's why in the fight, when the blades clash, there is a green spark in between. That is there to cover up the fact that the blades don't actually touch.

[@debbieboring3422]
