Star Wars: A New Hope Episode IV
Added 2024-10-16 21:55:42 +0000 UTC:D AND SO IT BEGINS!
Comments
This was probably my favourite reaction I've seen you doing, it's actually really refreshing to see you come into this with basically zero knowledge of star wars, and all the theories and perspective from a newcomers point of view were really fun. Have a nice day, and may the force be with you ^_^

2025-05-16 19:58:47 +0000 UTCYou should definitely watch Indiana jones those movies made Harrison ford one of my favorite actors
Robin Noble
2024-11-25 07:15:53 +0000 UTCFun Fact for any StawWars newbies: The music you hear in the cantena is canonically called Jizz, and people who play it are called Jizzwailers.

2024-11-24 18:18:52 +0000 UTCAlicia really is cute and endearing with how energetic, observant and generally cheerful she is. I’m happy she’s enjoying Star Wars so much. It would be really cool if she did end up watching The Clone Wars, but you should know that’s a FAIRLY LENGTHY project.
Noah Weathers
2024-11-16 06:14:36 +0000 UTCDon’t forget the entire original Expanded Universe: a dozen or so games (before even the prequels came out), dozens of comic books and a few hundred books, all based around the OG trilogy. But yes, aside from like the Star Wars Christmas special, not a lot of other movies or tv around Star Wars until the prequels

2024-11-15 00:27:08 +0000 UTCI love the detail that Han and Luke ditched the armor but kept the utility belts
MenacingScone
2024-11-15 00:07:34 +0000 UTCI wish they never added that one back - it's redundant with the better Greedo scene
Rhodair
2024-11-11 14:49:17 +0000 UTCIn the scene with Jabba, originally Jabba was a human dude in the scene and when they re-released the movie they changed the human into the Jabba that was later in Return of the Jedi. The reason Han Solo steps on Jabba's tail is because in the original Han stepped up on a cable and they wanted something that would fit with that sudden vertical movement.

2024-11-10 14:08:03 +0000 UTCThe old 90s TIE Fighter space sim did it right. You weren't the bad guy, you were just dealing with chaotic terrorists. And maybe doing some secret missions for the Emperor on the side. It was great.
fizzlefist
2024-11-09 16:11:40 +0000 UTCThe empire just needs a good PR department and they're not the evil empire. "Death Star? That's rebel propaganda, the new Imperial Mobile Mining Platform can turn an uninhabited planet into an asteroid field for easier access to the rare elements we need. Alderran? Never heard of her."

2024-11-02 00:34:12 +0000 UTCMark Hamill is stil the best joker
Petter Uppvall
2024-11-01 22:01:13 +0000 UTCFun facts! Star Wars was 3 million dollars over budget, and George Lucas secured funding for the movie by agreeing to not be paid at all, except getting the merchandising rights... Star Wars became the first movie to generate metric megatons of merch sales.
Lonjil
2024-10-30 00:07:33 +0000 UTCThe opening scene to this is honestly so much funnier once you watch rogue one

2024-10-28 12:43:46 +0000 UTCexactly.
N00B
2024-10-27 07:18:50 +0000 UTCThe prequel trilogy had good ideas with bad execution. Given more room to explore those ideas better with outside content people can apreciate them more.
Joel Sasmad
2024-10-27 01:44:27 +0000 UTCThere is a funny thing about it. The Sequel Trilogy Changed Luke entirely as a character way too much. Han was pretty much regressed to who he was before the orignal trilogy ignoring all his development. Leia was actually treated the best of the original cast by the sequels.
Joel Sasmad
2024-10-27 01:41:28 +0000 UTCLeia is the og baddie absolutely love her it’s a shame that the sequel trilogy never gave her a proper send off. Then again with how bad the sequel trilogy ruined what the og films established I’m glad they didn’t try would’ve down Carrie Fisher dirty
Nightmareman99
2024-10-25 04:35:06 +0000 UTCTo be fair, slaving droids is pretty standard practice galaxy-wide. They weren't *notably* bad people.
Aubrey Bryn
2024-10-24 21:39:14 +0000 UTCAlso, if any planet is too be destroyed, it couldn't happen to a better target than Alderaan. You can't walk 5 feet without bumping into some pompous noble prick or a giant, mind-controlling bug. Sure, the landscapes are pretty, but the inhabitants are the actual worst.
0th Law
2024-10-24 03:56:56 +0000 UTCHonestly... I'd argue that the Jawas did plenty of things wrong. It's abundantly clear that most, if not all droids are sapient, and those Jawas go about capturing and selling them. They're fucking slavers.

2024-10-24 03:20:44 +0000 UTCStar Wars Episode IV Luke = 19 years old Leia = 19 years old Han = 29 years old

2024-10-23 22:19:42 +0000 UTCit was supposed to be a book serries but the book was not good
Lance Ivy
2024-10-23 22:18:03 +0000 UTCmy favorite peice of star wars trivia is that the actor in chewys suit is reading chewing lines in english on the set ....with a proper english accent .... so everyone who is supposed to understand him can act around him propperly . and you can find the set recoding online of just posh brittish chebacca
Lance Ivy
2024-10-23 21:15:27 +0000 UTCi am over here like " sodium pentathole " and she goes MK ultra lol
Lance Ivy
2024-10-23 17:20:52 +0000 UTCIt was at the time episode three came out though. That was the point. It explained why Grievous had his cough. The series ran bergen movies 2 and 3. Just cause it's retroactively non-canon now doesn't invalidate it.
GlamourGhost
2024-10-23 13:13:34 +0000 UTCYou GOTTA react to Spaceballs and Robot Chicken Star Wars as well. They're amazing parodies.

2024-10-23 11:25:27 +0000 UTCmy favorite soul cal is 3 and it kills me so much it is so hard to find and play now.
Lucifer Moon
2024-10-23 06:43:53 +0000 UTCThe biggest irony in Star Wars is that the original trilogy is considered the best one, yet its the prequel trilogy that has bred the most content.
N00B
2024-10-22 14:08:47 +0000 UTCIf she does, she should also check out the 2003 Clone Wars by Genndy Tartakovsky. Its only about 40 minutes total, but damn is it amazing.
N00B
2024-10-22 13:58:33 +0000 UTCI saw this when I was little and it came out in the theater. It was so amazing I saw it 7 times. Lines for tickets were so long they wrapped around the entire theater building!
jGazMom
2024-10-22 09:56:29 +0000 UTCThere is a wonderful parody from 1997 that changes this whole series. Star Wars Cops Parody "Troops".
michael holmes
2024-10-22 04:09:04 +0000 UTCFun fact about the actor who played Obi-Wan (Sir Alec Guinness); he actually hated the role because it was the only thing people knew him for, even though he was a rather accomplished theater actor. A kid asked for his autograph once, and the said something akin to "only if you never watch those movies again."
Matthew Snedden
2024-10-22 01:08:37 +0000 UTCIf you are gonna react to the Clone Wars series after the movies just note that it takes place between Episodes 2 and 3 of the Prequel movies
Donald Armstrong IV
2024-10-22 00:28:57 +0000 UTCI just looked up the guide after I typed it, she really would. They have it mismatched all over the place. Look up Clone Wars Chronological Order and see that list. There are stretches where they go in sequential order in the season, but then skip right to another season. Like first few episodes in order are from Season 2 and 3, then the animated film, then into the series proper. It's crazy.
Game Wizard001
2024-10-20 18:52:44 +0000 UTCIf i remember correctly, its just the first 2-3 seasons really had the anthology style going, after that she wouldn't really need a guide
MrYourgurt
2024-10-20 18:49:59 +0000 UTCIf and when you do get to Clone Wars animated series, make sure to look up the Chronological Order of the series, cause they released episodes out of sequence.
Game Wizard001
2024-10-20 16:55:16 +0000 UTCUnsure if she was watching on Disney+, but she asked about the model work at the beginning and the streaming site has behind the scenes extras to watch.
Game Wizard001
2024-10-20 15:25:28 +0000 UTCAbout the force and what you were talking on when the rebel leader said "May the force be with you." Yes, it's kinda religious thing, but force is like Ki in Dragon Ball, everyone has it, but only few train to use it. Or that's how I have always seen it.

2024-10-20 10:42:25 +0000 UTCThere is something magical about someone seeing "binary sunset", arguably the most iconic scene in cinematic history, for the first time.

2024-10-20 09:42:24 +0000 UTCThis brings me back to when I watched this my first time lmao
Grumbledor .
2024-10-20 08:53:05 +0000 UTCI did always wonder why they started with 4? Is does seem kinda cool though. Imagine you go to a movie called “Star Wars” And is says episode 4… like WHAT?!? Ok I’m in! You gonna just throw me in?
Fobbles
2024-10-20 07:47:33 +0000 UTCWhen I was a kid I saw the third Star Wars movie in theatres. Later on in life I saw the first ones… and was VICIOUSLY comfused at why the quality was so much lower???!! 🤣
Fobbles
2024-10-20 07:44:28 +0000 UTCI want a tramp stamp of the targeting computer from the trench run with "Stay on target" right above it.
Porpoise Power
2024-10-20 05:12:43 +0000 UTCRemember, if you do use your lightsaber as a dildo, CLEARLY LABEL the "Deadly Buzzy" and the "Happy Fun Time Buzzy" buttons. Trust me you don't want to get them backwards.
Porpoise Power
2024-10-20 03:37:25 +0000 UTCDIDI YOU KNOW: The scene with the Sand people where Luke was attacked, the actor in the sand costume threw out his back in the scene, the reason it looked like he was 'emoting' was because they shot other scenes and used a sand people war cry scene to pad out the fight.
Shrapnel
2024-10-19 20:50:12 +0000 UTCIt's so wild for me that anyboy could not know anything about Star Wars given how fucking big the franchise is... but it's really refreshing. Quite enjoyable to see some legit reactions to these movies.

2024-10-18 06:14:41 +0000 UTCThat is true hahahah. The fact that anyone hasn't seen The Lord of the Rings, that is insane to me.
Malick Glemarr
2024-10-18 05:53:27 +0000 UTCA lot of those things were added in 1997, but there were also changes made in 2004 and 2019.. There will also be no Yub Nub in Return..
QuibblesAndGitz
2024-10-18 05:32:07 +0000 UTCWell, no way that doesn't require somehow splicing in a VHS player lol
QuibblesAndGitz
2024-10-18 05:26:43 +0000 UTCTbf, most "sci-fi" is fantasy in space, especially now.. That said, how she hasn't seen the origin of modern fantasy that is Lord of the Rings is a mystery lol
QuibblesAndGitz
2024-10-18 05:02:36 +0000 UTCMy meaning was that back when the prequels (1-3) came out there were a lot of flame wars arguing if they were any good, but Every SW fan loved the Original Trilogy (4-6) It was only with the Disney sequels (7-9) that "fans" started claiming the OT wasn't that good to begin with

2024-10-18 04:59:54 +0000 UTCmachete order please! you wont regret it!
Danny boy
2024-10-18 03:43:41 +0000 UTCBro get out of everyone's comments 💀 I never said I had a problem with her yapping. If you had any reading comprehension you'd know my issue was with coma not knowing when to stop talking. Multiple times where Alicia is quiet trying to listen to what's being said and he's just making unfunny comments.

2024-10-18 02:20:42 +0000 UTCI love the first three the last one was really good

2024-10-17 23:02:53 +0000 UTCWhat an awesome reaction! I stayed up until 3am watching this and I had work at 8am! 🤣🤣 I definitely felt it later in the day, but it was worth it to get to see both of your first reactions to Star Wars! I grew up as a Star Wars super fan thanks to my grandparents showing me the first three movies at a young age. I may own somewhere around 120+ Star Wars novels and have read plenty more, plus the comics, video games, etc. It truly was an obsession for many years, until Disney did its thing, but it is really cool seeing someone fall in love with the characters and world even still all these years later.

Harper
2024-10-17 18:04:24 +0000 UTCIf you make it all the way to Rogue One, the reason Vader knows Leia is a Rebel is Histerical, and she's got Nerves of Steel, Goddamn.
khaliqtessi
2024-10-17 17:50:22 +0000 UTCI have nothing about the talking - like i said i like the process of the way the watched it - gotta admit 1 or 2 times internally i was like stop yapping and concentrate on the scene - but i know its just cause i know every second of the movie and want them to experience it to the fullest - tho I cant blame em when i watch movies with my friends on the couch we also talk to each other - so im very happy with this and how these 2 got their first proper star wars experience <3
BamBam
2024-10-17 17:46:26 +0000 UTCIs this a first time watch? 👀
khaliqtessi
2024-10-17 17:39:48 +0000 UTCMan, It's so rude to say that Alicia should exclude her friend just to appease your tastes
Leticia
2024-10-17 17:20:43 +0000 UTCno pretty sure the "anime star wars" is the star wars anime aka "Star Wars Vision" Unless he meant like the cartoon series then yeah prob that or the 3d clone wars Sucks that Gennedy Tartakovsky's series is non canon because if it was canon I would 100% recommend her watching it
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 17:16:30 +0000 UTCObligatory "Han shot first". I'm sure you will get hundreds of comments explaining that, so no need to elaborate :D.
leviathan_13
2024-10-17 17:12:53 +0000 UTCI like the take that says that the disbelief people have in the force and in the Jedi "now" just show how much the empire dismantle that culture. Plus, I got the feeling people were already skeptical of the Jedis back then, but let's avoid elaborating on that to avoid spoilers. It's just a sensation anyway.
leviathan_13
2024-10-17 17:12:16 +0000 UTCNah he's fine, if you don't like just don't watch it bro, simple... She's not watching without him
Douglas Ribeiro
2024-10-17 17:07:43 +0000 UTC1:02:25 wait is coma talking about san holo, the edm ARTIST? Because if it is, that's so funny 🤣

2024-10-17 17:02:31 +0000 UTCActually I like it very much
Leticia
2024-10-17 17:01:30 +0000 UTCAre you slow? When did I say I don't want yapping
Corey
2024-10-17 16:57:12 +0000 UTCThe “anime Star Wars” koma was talking about is probably Gennedy Tartakovsky’s mini-series Star Wars: Clone Wars. It’s really good and free on YouTube.
unknown organism
2024-10-17 16:54:00 +0000 UTCIs it bad that I got a bit emotional at the end when you were talking about the commercial success of the movie? I am a lifelong Star Wars fan, so seeing someone experience it for the first time and loving it, made me a bit teary eyed.
KingSnitchGaming
2024-10-17 16:48:35 +0000 UTCIf you can't even call him by his name you're opinion has no meaning, stfu. Besides it's reaction content, if you don't want yappin' then go watch the actual movie instead, stupid
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 16:45:18 +0000 UTCsame it's so fun I also hate the amount of people in the comments bitching about them even talking. Like YOU paid for this REACTION content, if they don't like it they should watch the actual movie instead
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 16:43:53 +0000 UTCGuess you didn't watch the intro because she literally said she WANTS to watch it release order since it is the way it came out in cinema (Which is good since this way the plot twists will actually feel surprising)
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 16:42:21 +0000 UTCI highly recommend watching the animated series after Star Wars episode 2 also you should watch it in order of not release but timeline wise I'm sure you can find a Website or video that tells you the proper order of Star Wars the clone wars animated series
matt
2024-10-17 16:39:56 +0000 UTCIt's not canon to the story tho
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 16:24:50 +0000 UTCi love the progression of just joking around and making a joke every 2 sentences and vibing to - beeing so into it at the end - u can hear them less and less yapping and just stopping to analize and becoming one with the force - love seeing ppl watch star wars for the first time <3
BamBam
2024-10-17 16:22:58 +0000 UTCWhat about Aunt Beru?
The_ToG
2024-10-17 16:22:45 +0000 UTCfor the people bitchin' in the comments about them talking, YOU paid for reaction content. Go watch the original movie if you don't want reaction content in your paid reaction content, stupid !
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 16:21:57 +0000 UTCNo Knowledge what so ever, surprised me and a ton of other people. She hasn't seen Star Wars or LotRs (Which she will be watching next month). So keep an eye out for that
The_ToG
2024-10-17 16:20:32 +0000 UTCFun Fact: Episode 4 was added after. It released as 'Star Wars' without any added subtitles or episodes. I forgot when it was added though
The_ToG
2024-10-17 16:19:49 +0000 UTCNgl, I think my mistake is that most of what I know from the old republic HAD jedi in it so obviously if you are watching something where either a jedi is the main character or the main character is allied with the jedi, there will be more of a jedi presence to the story vs if you are just some random mf on some planet not associated with them
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 16:19:30 +0000 UTCYeah, the Creatures were added by Lucas in one of his Special Edition Re-releases, editing over the Original movie instead of alongside of the movie
The_ToG
2024-10-17 16:17:35 +0000 UTCThey can't watch the original because Lucas edited OVER it instead of making a copy of it and making edits alongside it, which is sad honestly cause it ruins preservations
The_ToG
2024-10-17 16:16:09 +0000 UTCFun fact about the Side Comic: it was always non-canon, it was made as a parody comic
The_ToG
2024-10-17 16:14:59 +0000 UTCJedi were also very rarely deployed to outer-rim planets due to the Republic’s general neglect of everything other than the core worlds and a handful of mega-corporations.

2024-10-17 16:14:27 +0000 UTCWow you are toxic..-_-
Anton Babin
2024-10-17 16:12:56 +0000 UTCStfu if you don't wanna hear people talk in a reaction maybe don't pay money for a reaction video and instead pay money for the actual movie instead
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 16:04:04 +0000 UTCReally? I swear I heard he was around 11-13 when it first officially fell. Bad sources I guess
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 15:52:05 +0000 UTCHan was somewhere between 5 and 7 when the republic fell and obi wan was the first jedi he ever met. Also if i recall the empire pretty much churned out propaganda to make the jedi seem like a bunch of frauds, but also Lucas just didnt have the lore for all that lol
Lonnie Guillory
2024-10-17 15:46:12 +0000 UTCReal quick, and no offense to Alicia when she talked about the whole force religion thing after Han's comment on the force, but MAN is he STUPID Bro LIVED during the Republics era, there were so many Jedi's just walking around, using the force, doing Jedi shit. Like how can you NOT believe the force when you literally lived through the time where Jedi were at their peak
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 15:24:14 +0000 UTCYou have now met the single most foulmouthed character in any movie, R2D2. He is so bad that they had to bleep every line he says.

Corey
2024-10-17 13:07:26 +0000 UTCFunny how Kloma talked about how the planet reminded him of the sand planet from Dune, because it is ! Star wars was inspired by the Dune novels Tbh A LOT of stuff in Star Wars is directly inspired from Dune. Everything from characters, planets, story arcs, powers, technology, creatures, etc. it is insane lol 35:25 HOLY SHIT HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE THING! LET'S GOOOOOO !!!
WillGlacier
2024-10-17 12:52:03 +0000 UTCI would absolutely love to see your reaction to the animated clone wars I think you’d love it
Nathan
2024-10-17 12:50:49 +0000 UTCyou meen the sequel trilogy EP 1 -3 is flawed but it was still a part of the naritive that was built from episode 4-6
Tor Andre Frantsvaag
2024-10-17 12:48:09 +0000 UTCThere was plans for the whole first trilogy for if the first one would be a commercial success (and well, we know how that went) But thats why the first one can stand on its own (it was only calles Star Wars on release, without the episode number and "A New Hope"), the movie was very unchartered territory so they kinda had to prove that people wanna watch stuff like this. Also, if you are wondering abt some of the creature design like Jabba and stuff seeming kinda modern, this was actually the rereleased version from the late 90s where they were able to clean some rougher stuff from the original with digital effects
Lucas_Oreki
2024-10-17 12:36:06 +0000 UTCThe Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars is a masterpiece, it's been compiled into one video on Youtube, I highly recommend watching that version before the 3D Animated series first. It's quite short, more like a miniseries. It takes place between the 2nd and 3rd prequel films.
SNESgirl
2024-10-17 12:34:20 +0000 UTCAbout if this was originally going to be trilogy. I believe George Lucas wanted to, but considering how much work it would require, this being his third movie and, if i remember right trilogies were not really a thing back in days, he and his then wife (now ex-wife) made this movie that could work as only movie set on this universe. Rest is history, as they say. It cost around 11 million dollars to make, its box office was 775,4 million dollars. "Adjusted for inflation, it had earned over $2.5 billion worldwide at 2011 prices" -Wikipedia Fun fact: When Mark Hamill came to set, he assumed Harrison Ford would had been lead actor.

2024-10-17 07:10:56 +0000 UTCI love that you commented about that r2d2 being picked instead of the red droid is so lucky. There is actually a side comic (that's probably not Canon anymore) where it is revealed that the red Droid wad force sensitive, saw into the future, and realized that r2d2 NEEDED to be chosen there. So he used the force to fry his own circuits and sabotage himself.
Smeef Branson
2024-10-17 06:02:36 +0000 UTCI like how at the end you say "I'm more into fantasy" Star Wars, at least the original movie was a fantasy set in space. It is a farm boy getting taken under the wing of a wizard and saving the princess from the fortress of a dark lord with the help of a rogue. It is a straight up fantasy movie. It just happens to be set in the future (a long time ago) and in space.
Malick Glemarr
2024-10-17 05:49:42 +0000 UTCThe best order, to me, is original trilogy, prequels, Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Andor, Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, Mandalorean, Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and finally the new trilogy.
Hotaru Tomoe
2024-10-17 05:36:48 +0000 UTCRe: the droids fast-talking the stormtroopers, the droids are standard models and the vast majority of Imperial droids are fitted with those Restraining Bolts you saw back on the desert planet which keep them obedient despite their intelligence. So the stormtroopers just assumed they were THEIR droids, not realizing they were free/rogue.

Icy
2024-10-17 04:12:03 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite behind the scenes stories fort this one is how one of the hardest scenes to film was Leia talking about Tarquin's "foul stench". Since Peter Cushing (the actor) was such a sweet guy on set, and made sure to always dab some rose water on his neck before leaving his trailer so he wouldn't potentially distract any of his fellow actors with any BO. So Carrie Fisher just could not deliver that line with a straight face.
Seraphem
2024-10-17 04:02:27 +0000 UTCalicia will love the clone wars show no spoilers but it is the BEST version of star wars and that's like a universal agreement. Also the meme rabit hole their about to go down will be wonderful

2024-10-17 03:15:41 +0000 UTCforgot how good this movie is, but I don't recall some of those monsters early on, pretty sure they weren't on the VHS tape I watched this series on. (all three movies were available and we didn't have cable so I watched them all like 5 times over) and for the Sci Fi VS fantasy bit, I was the opposite preferring sci fi to fantasy until maybe a decade ago. (massive halo fan but I have since realized sci fi is just a science based fantasy and I shouldn't be so focused on realism when most of it is actually beyond realistic)

Ellerian
2024-10-17 02:38:29 +0000 UTCThe budget for this first one wasn't actually too insane. Keep in mind that most of the space battles and stuff are all just miniatures. There's some behind the scenes stuff and the death star is literally just a bunch of model kits glued to a table. Also a LOT of the backgrounds are actually matte paintings. A lot of the "sets" are pretty much just paint. That said, they did fiddle with it a lot. The original trilogy has had a lot special effects and extra scenes added since its original release in the 70s.
Aerowind
2024-10-17 02:36:50 +0000 UTCThey made canon both clone wars and revels with rogue one and episode 9, plus adding spin offs as canon: the baby yoda show (the mandalorian), book of bobba fett, bad batch and Ahsoka (a.k.a. rebels season 5) All others arent canon
Faroth
2024-10-17 02:30:52 +0000 UTCOH MY GOD I AM SO HYYYYYPED!! woo!! Yes, I think release order is better to watch it in, personally. I would also recommend watching Rogue One after the Prequels. It connects 3 and 4 and was the best Disney era SW movie, imo. ALSO, I would definitely recommend you watching the Clone Wars series. Its really good. Rebels is also good, but Clone Wars is goated.

2024-10-17 01:55:18 +0000 UTCThis takes me back. I was 8 years old. Saw it 5 times at the big theater in town (which had only 3 screens) when ever we could con an older family member into taking us. It changed my childhood.

2024-10-17 00:12:11 +0000 UTC"Oh shit, daddy?!" when Vader appears is crazy on so many levels Another notable quote: "R2-D2 is the GOAT of this whole entire franchise", you can say that again, R2 is one of the most important characters in the entire franchise and not even necessarily for this moment specifically, such a little droid went on such big adventures Also, this movie was the only one planned when it released. At the time, if I recall it was originally just called "Star Wars", no "Episode IV - A New Hope", that was added retroactively. It was when this one did so well that the rest (first 6) ended up being planned. And eventually, when a sequel trilogy was suggested by Disney when they bought Lucasfilm, George Lucas wrote out an entire extra 3 movies for them (this is a plan that Disney promptly ignored to do their own thing, but it's the thought thet counts, Lucas was ready and willing).
Ellerian
2024-10-17 00:04:01 +0000 UTCAnd on Disney+ they use a previous unused version of the 2011 version where they ADR’d Greedo screaming “Maclunky!” as he dies.

2024-10-17 00:00:47 +0000 UTCStar Wars has never been my favourite franchise or anything, but I'm way excited to watch these. It's rare to have anyone not know pretty much anything when it comes to something like this!

Oh, and R2D2 hiding behind so many rocks he could not possibly have got out (or in)!

2024-10-16 23:35:18 +0000 UTCI'm so glad I was able to see the relatively-original VHS releases from 93 or 95 when I was a kid, before any of these asinine changes were made. The Maclunkey version available on Disney Plus is just awful: shitty, distracting CGI keys being jangled in front of the audience's face, shitty "Greedo shoots at Han" and monumentally shitty addition of that completely silly Jabba scene.

Faroth
2024-10-16 23:29:19 +0000 UTCOMFG an almost entirely immune Star Wars reaction!!! YASSSSSSS! Btw, the name of the real-life "truth serum" you're thinking of is probably scopolamine. It's used in patches for motion sickness, but has a long history (dating back to the early 1900s) of being experimented with to induce a sort of "twilight" hypnotic state where people were less inhibited and more inclined to speak freely. Ultimately, it seems it was concluded that it was similar to, but no better than alcohol in terms of reliability and effectiveness.
rrrebo
2024-10-16 23:27:21 +0000 UTCIt is canon, since events in the 3d cgi version make references to it, like the damage on general grievous,and lets not forget that the 3dcgi starts with a movie about ahsoka bei g anakin's padawan that most people forgets about

PrivateXimmy
2024-10-16 23:14:57 +0000 UTCAbout the Clone Wars "anime" that Coma mentioned: there are two different "Clone Wars" series--the first one is from 2003, and is in the style of Samurai Jack. It's pretty cool, but unfortunately, it's no longer canon. The second series is CGI, and came out after the the Prequels. It starts kind of slowly, but gets pretty good as it progresses.
Liesmith
2024-10-16 23:10:41 +0000 UTCHi Alicia - I'm sure you've heard about the endless "improvements" George Lucas made to Star Wars (almost all of which made the films worse). I have the original versions if you would like to use them. They're not digitally remastered or anything, but it's what we saw in the cinemas and the experience everyone had. The end of the last film especially has HORRIBLE changes. While the special effects are not as good (although many of the "new" effects stand out like a sore thumb anyway), it's more than offset by the changes they made to the script.
Toasted Toad
2024-10-16 23:07:53 +0000 UTCLmao, leave it to Alicia to catch that "sexy step." I never noticed it before.
Nicholas Johnson
2024-10-16 23:06:05 +0000 UTCoh come on, the writing is NOT that bad. it's not perfect and a bit corny, but it's not as bad as people say it is.
Gavin Bickel
2024-10-16 23:05:30 +0000 UTCThank you so much for giving these a look! Id like to make a couple suggestions if i may. - dont worry about the rabid fans. The prequels and sequels are very divisive. You either love em or you hate em. Please dont be discouraged, i love the prequels so much and can't wait for you to see em. Episode 3 is my favourite star wars movie - if you feel up to it, please look up a viewing order for the clone wars tv show and give it a shot, its amazing and i know you'll love it. - definetly give rogue one a watch, its a great star wars film. - there is a youtube video called scene 38 reimagined, its a fan project that reimagines the obi wan vs vader fight from this film. - after youre either done or far enough through star wars i think you should react to the parody stuff. Space balls is a hilarious star wars spoof. Family guy did a trilogy of episodes parodying the original 3 star wars movies, i think you'll find them uproariously funny. Keep up the great work, you are easily among the best reactors on the platform!

2024-10-16 22:57:23 +0000 UTCThat’s why I specified early 90s/2000s computer effects, which is often bad.
Sam Brown
2024-10-16 22:51:19 +0000 UTCLucas planned to have a ton of them, I think at one point he mentioned like 12 of them at one point. They kind of wanted it to make similar to old scifi serial tv shows (but with the budget of movies) where every some months or year you'll get a new installment almost like a longer tv episode. He meant them to be like 3-4 trilogies with the first one, the prequel and then one sequel trilogy about a different protagonist before she and Luke met in the final trilogy. That, of course didn't end up working that way. As it happens to anything that goes through the long development process and as the creator has to start to figure out how to turn the ideas in their head into like an actual product.
RF
2024-10-16 22:50:47 +0000 UTCThe actors don't deserve any hate, but the writing of the prequels deserve the criticism.
Liesmith
2024-10-16 22:49:00 +0000 UTCI disagree completely. While the classic films are, no doubt incredible for the time -- newer films are just as good. Like, it's (usually) genuinely good CGI.
mon0_liz
2024-10-16 22:39:09 +0000 UTCNow I am imagining the "stolen play" Princess Leia is custodian of. Then again, an athlete could discuss their next 'play' as part of a plan. I'm just poking fun.
E. H.
2024-10-16 22:37:52 +0000 UTCi'm not saying they can't do that and make jokes, but with everything in the star wars stuff that we got in the last 10 years, we need to give them some lee-way. (now i personally thing all the tv shows minus the Apolye or whatever were all great) and the only bad movies from SW was episode 8, 9, and Solo. 7 and Rogue one were amazing. again, i'm not saying you're not allowed to look at things that may not be to your liking (and seeing as how Alicia is a film major, i'm sure she'll rip it apart some like she did the LA One Piece show at times) but still, it doesn't deserve to be mocked or called one of the worst trilogys ever.
Gavin Bickel
2024-10-16 22:37:20 +0000 UTC“-you should watch things in release order so that when technology improves you enjoy it more” See, that’s true generally, except for series that go from 70s/80s practical effects to early 90s/2000s computer effects. Then the opposite happens.
Sam Brown
2024-10-16 22:35:22 +0000 UTCAs someone who loves the prequels, they are massively flawed. There is nothing wrong with shredding them to pieces, as there is just so much there to shred. Doesn't mean you can't the enjoy the hell out of them, and talk about what they did well. Now, if she somehow comes to the conclusion that the sequels are the superior films, then Pistols at Dawn may have to happen (although liking them is still fine :P).
Iain McDonald
2024-10-16 22:31:40 +0000 UTCYes! It turns out to be easily obtainable, having listened to the boys from SWOCBC positively gush over it. They were hesitant, but it seems to elevate the viewing experience.
