This will always be the "FIRST" Star Wars movie, regardless of how its marketed. I always recommend watching SW in the order than they were released.

[@more-reasons6655]

I agree that it's the first movie but I for one prefer the machete order so episode 6 is the end of both stories

[@more-reasons6655]

@@robertrobertJ well being as spoiler free as possible, what's lost watching episode 1, 2 & 3 before episode 6? Thanks to the updated editions there are scenes and moments in episode 6 that use the people and locations of the prequels, without knowing who/where they are, it is useless to the viewer

[@tiredoffools8929]

@@more-reasons6655 I can see your point about episode 6, but that is very minor, and I'd argue it would make you intrigued to view the prequels to find out what that was about. On the flip side, you have to remember, many people saw the original trilogy (4, 5, & 6) decades before the Prequels even existed, and when the prequels were finally made they had many "call-forwards" to the originals that would be absolutely useless to someone watching the Prequels first. Also, the surprises of the original trilogy, if you were not spoiled by pop culture, would most certainly be spoiled by watching (1, 2, 3).

The Force isn't one particular power per person like a mutant ability. It's more like an energy field you can tap into to produce different effects with training. Think more like wizards that have a few spells.

One of the greatest films ever made and the first installment of the original Star Wars trilogy, one of my favorites Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope written and directed by George Lucas starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness and the incredible music score by John Williams. This film was nominated for 11 Oscars and won 7 including best original score by John WIlliams, the famous line in this film is "May the force be with you". Thank you so much Centane great reaction just excellent😊😊

I highly recommend continuing to the 5th and 6th movies after this instead of going back to the 2nd. These are the original Star Wars movies and far and away the best. Perhaps continue in the same order they were released: 4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9

@@Centane But as you already saw Episode I, you could try to watch them in "Machete Order". That is 4, 5, 2, 3, 6, and then 7, 8 and 9 (since 7-9 wasn't made when this method was invented). It's based on the idea that nothing important in Episode I isn't repeated in the other movies, so you can skip it. And as Episodes V was made with a "To be continued" ending where the characters all seem to think "How did we end up like this", it's a perfect place to watch Episodes II and III to explain that, and then return to the story with Episode VI. It has the reputation of being the Jar-Jar hating method, since you get much less of him, but it's not just that. Although a lot of us REALLY didn't like Jar-Jar after the first movie.

When Han says to Jabba, "you're a wonderful human being": at the time that scene was filmed, Jabba was in fact human. The scene didn't make into the original release because George Lucas wanted an alien. When they remastered the movies 20 years later, they added the scene back in, with the slug (first seen in Episode VI) edited into the original footage.

[@firstenforemost]

The actor filming the scene was human, but the artwork showing what George Lucas was planning to superimpose over that actor definitely wasn't human.

For those not around when this came out, no one had heard of 'Star Wars' of course and then the movie came out and it was huge. I remember coming home from the theater and my brother and I were telling our parents that Darth Vader's little ship had spun off into space but he hadn't died, so they may be making a sequel. The next one was three years later. The movies and merchandise have grossed more than $30 billion since then.

You mean like that stuffed Dewback that just sat there on a dune two hundred feet from the camera, not moving an inch? Yes, making them actually move like animals totally destroyed the charm there. Look, the Jabba scene didn't really work and we all know that Han shot Greedo without being shot at first, but the vast majority of the additional work done on the film made it look far better. The attack on the Death Star is hugely improved over the old version, where the fighters basically just moved in slow, straight lines.

Hi Centane. I'm so glad you watched this, instead of continuing on with the prequels. When I was a kid, Star Wars did not exist. So, this movie came out. it was called "Star Wars." That's it. No numbers, no nothing. One movie. It's self-contained and it's a lot of fun. Please continue on with the next two, then you can jump back into the prequels if you like. But the thing is, there was no series of movies, it was just "Star Wars." I like the way you got the "bickering married couple" relationship between R2D2 and C3PO. Some reactors get all upset and scream, "Oh how rude, I hate him, he should stop complaining." Gee whiz. It's supposed to be funny, but some people just find a way to be upset about anything. I also like the way you morphed from your feelings about Han, saying he cares. He's not with the rebellion at first, and he has people out to kill him if he doesn't pay back a debt. Sure, he's a mercenary, but he's not evil. Wish you would've shown more of the ships. Did you know this entire movie was done with highly detailed models that had to be built? You know all those scenes in which they were going down a conduit. If you look at the how-they-did-it videos, you'll see a room-sized Death Star model on the floor, with a computer-controlled camera that was programmed to run along one of the conduits to simulate the pilot's eyes as he attempted to get close to the opening. (This version you saw was edited many years later with CGI animals and bots, but the original had no CGI.) Alas, some people like the cute stuff and don't really get into the ships, models, and technology. Oh well, different strokes. At least you smiled at the droids fighting. Can't wait for you to see "The Empire Strikes Back."

@@Steve_Blackwood Hi Steve. Yeah, the lines around the block. When that first destroyer comes in overhead, my jaw flew clean off my face. Holy crap! This is why I kind of complained a little to Centane about not showing it. Some of the reactors (well, face it, people in general, mostly romantic types) skip over that part and get right into the characters, which I find disappointing because that first scene brings you right into this new universe. As an aside, some of these reactors (character-driven and aren't-those-little-aliens-cute types) do the same when watching "Alien," skipping over the incredible Nostromo model. Have you noticed a lot of them start with, "Well, I dunno...we'll see...it was made way back in the 70's, so I'm not expecting much." Then their eyes light up when they see the magnificent work of the modelmakers (Greg Jein) and computer geniuses who designed the cameras to film the stuff (John Dykstra). Yeah, it holds up really well and, I think, looks better than a lot of the cheesy CGI today...not all, but a lot. Nice comment, Steve!

[@Steve_Blackwood]

@@christopheryochum3602 Yep, the Nostromo is another modeling masterpiece. And I hear the same 1970s reluctance from various rectors… which makes it so much more satisfying when they find out what they’ve been missing. 😏 While CGI is just now getting to near-immersive levels, it just doesn’t age as well as practical effects. The CGI Lucas added in the late 90s didn’t age NEARLY as well as the original effects. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was 8 when I saw this in a theater in 1977. There had never been anything like it. I mean, the film 2001 brought sci-fi special f/x up a level, but the movie was cold. Star Wars was hot! One thing we hadn't seen in sci-fi was 2 robots arguing like people. It was warm humor vs. cold space. You are watching the 1997 version, with a lot of CGI stuff added, and Han shot 2nd against the bounty hunter (who missed by a mile despite being a pro). Han shot first in the original. Btw, while there were remote-controlled R2s, there was an actor named Kenny Baker who was the "real" R2. He was 3'8". He died in 2016, aged 81.

George Lucas at the time probably didn't have any idea that he would make Jabba the Hutt into some big slug. Its pretty funny though that in the special edition, they kept Han's line of "You're a wonderful human being".

[@bookhills2704]

Episode 1 is really great and outstanding. Nothing is gonna change my mind.

[@AvanToor]

Ok so here's the full R2D2 rundown: - There's a guy called Kenny Baker inside in the shots without his feet - They pull a full R2 on wheels forward with a string in the full-body shots - All the sounds he makes come out of Ben Burtt, the sound designer, before being put through some (non-digital) efffect

[@styles2980]

This is a treat, I look forward to the next 2, they are widely considered much better films. It's great fun watching a new generation get a kick out of my childhood favorites.

[@nathanwilliams2152]

I remember watching this for the first time on VHS a few years ago with my dad, who's an Air Force veteran. He picked apart the Rebel tactics during the Death Star Assault. Fascinating stuff!

[@erictaylor5462]

I am so glad you don't have to hate your brothers. In 1977 my parents hired a baby sitter and took off for a "date day." They were wandering around San Francisco with no destination in mind, just looking for something fun to do. They passed a movie theater with a long line, and people were coming out of the theater and getting back in line. They had never heard of the movie on the marquee but decided if people were getting back in line to watch it again it was probably worth their time. Besides, it was something to do. They said the movie just blew them away. The second hand smoke that was not tobacco might have helped. But after the movie they came home, paid the baby sitter and took us straight to the theater. I think they might have even taken the baby sitter too. I was 7 at the time and that movie just blew my mind!

This transformed all sci fi movies to what we have now. It set such a new standard. The story was great, the special effect for the 70s were great. Every boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker.

Don't any of you tell her a thing until after she watches the Trilogy. "The Empire Strikes Back" then "The Return of the Jedi". Let her ponder the same questions WE ALL had when we first saw Stars Wars - A New Hope. Most of her questions will be answered as she continues to watch. Do NOT spoil her experiencing the Star Wars Trilogy for the first time.

[@deiwi]

I'm just gonna pretend you're my younger sister who is actually interested in Star Wars. I'm blessed! Great reaction 💯👏🏼

[@TheJabbate1]

My younger sister loves Star Wars but she didn’t show it until college. At the time, she didn’t want to be seen liking “boys stuff.”

[@CowsR4me]

That guy said 'set to stun' and leia just straight murked him.

[@dylanholman3]

To answer your question about R2-D2, they built him but there’s actually a “little person” inside him who turns his head and operated the lights and stuff! The films have also utilized some remote control ones as well. but in the original trilogy, all the scenes where he has “personality” is actually a guy inside! The actors name was Kenny Baker and he was only 3’8”.

[@ulflarsson9693]

Will always remember when a saw this the first time and the star destroyer in the beginning then.😊👍

[@pleutron]

This is actually my favorite of all SW movies. Most fans will say Episode V: Empire Strikes Back though.

[@nickmanzo8459]

The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s not like superpowers, it’s an energy field that has a large range of abilities someone who’s in touch with it can tap into, but it also has a dark side.

[@sobe9ball]

I just realized that this is a year old reaction! You've come so far, these days your reactions are much more thought provoking and thorough! These older ones the edits are in awkward and seem rushed! Thank you for growing and learning with your channel!!! :)

[@Wizastudios]

I love watching first timers into SW. You were so adorable about R2 and excited to see the following films.

[@satyagrahaa]

The force is not a special move. You don’t have “one force”. You have the force, period. The force is an energy field that surrounds everyone. It, among other things, lets you do different skills that you can learn. Not everyone knows every skill, but you’re not limited to one gimmick I wish you a great journey through the Star Wars galaxy

[@acesantiago9625]

Such a Norwegian opening to the video, really enjoyed the synchronised 'WHAT?' face when he said to destroy the planet as well.

[@schpiner8653]

19:48 "I thought only Jedis can use The Force." As with your last review, you think that you are asking the "wrong" questions when you are actually right on target. Oh and one more thing, you asked about the droids at the beginning; Lucas tried to build moving, mechanical robots for the movie but they didn't work out & they especially failed in the Tunisian desert.

[@Centane]

OH thank you so much for explaining! ♥♥

[@schpiner8653]

@@Centane Also. I saw Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) about 3 years ago at a live event. He talked about wearing the costume in the desert heat. He said that he overhead the crew talking with George Lucas. They were concerned about his costume melting in the extreme heat. "Of course they weren't concerned about ME melting in the costume....!!"🤣 (It's funnier hearing it in his full C-3PO voice and accent).

[@blacktronlego]

11:15 Well this part is a 'wretched hive of scum and villainy'. One could argue this not the 1977 version as it has some CGI that was not in the original, but they have not messed with it as much as they did later. s 16:52 He had a rifle-like gun in his landspeeder. I don't know if he's used the more pistol-like blaster, but he probably has, Tattooine is not exactly a safe place. C-3PO and R2-D2 are the comedy duo in this film with C-3PO as the 'straight man', which is interesting as Artoo has no intelligible lines.

[@jmwilliamsart]

When 3PO says to R2 “No, I don’t like you either” R2 is probably like “Ohh, that hurts my feelings”

[@johnwaga3702]

Great review. I saw these when they first came out and in my opinion the original trilogy films are still the best.

[@davida7153]

Its funny that C3PO says that he is not a good storyteller because he is, in fact, an amazing storyteller, with sound effects included.

[@ll7868]

R2-D2 was remote controlled from inside by an actor named Kenny Baker who was 1.12 m tall (3.5 feet). Like Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and David Prowse (Darth Vader) he spoke his lines and they were dubbed over with beeps and boops in post-production, Chewy had bears/dogs/lions and Vader was voiced by James Earl Jones.

[@rbloomquist69]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction. Made me feel like a kid again watching it for the 1st time in theaters. I was 10 when Star Wars came out and it has been a huge part of my life since!

[@waveymattdavey]

"I hope the droids get their own medals" uh oh "Wait what about Chewbacca?" Exactly!

The creature in the garbage compactor is a female Dianoga named Omi. She is actually force sensitive and sensed that Luke was as well. That was why she pulled him under the water, to baptize him in accordance with her beliefs.

Remember queuing round the block (block-buster) to see this with my aunt I was 6 years old. Truly was a magical experience, plus must have pissed my parents off as I was converted and wanted an R2 unit and friends like Leia ,Luke and Solo to stop my nightmares. Crazy, that was 44 years ago.

[@dan2007kohn]

This movie took inspiration from the Japanese film The Hidden Fortress directed by Akira Kurosawa. The two guys walking together and arguing in the beginning will instantly remind you of R2 and C-3PO

[@UTU49]

These characters are so good. Every person (and reactor) responds to different characters. It was fun to see how much you enjoyed R2-D2 and C-3PO. The last reactor I watched (Russian) loved Luke.

The Empire Strikes Back is probably the best movie sequel of all time. (Well, actually The Godfather: Part II is but it’s not for everyone.) If you liked this one, you’ll LOVE the next one.

That moment when she saw Vader using the Force for the first time... I was clapping my hands! Great reactions

[@glasswood2369]

When I first saw it at the drive in as a kid, I remember my mom saying about their crossing the corridor during the battle unscathed: "Well they're [the droids] probably really expensive, so they don't want to shoot them"
