"How could he be so iconic and die so soon?" See, "Sean Bean."

I was 7 when I saw Star Wars in the theaters. I remember when Death Star blew up at the end, the entire theater erupted and cheered, clapped, and hollered like they were at a rock concert. Seeing Star Wars at that age was a mind altering and life changing experience. I BEGGED my father take my cousin and me to see it again the following weekend, which he did.

It's funny that everybody watching this movie forthefirst time begins slightly aloof, making jokes about some element or the other. By the middle of the movie, everybody starts inching forward in their seats, and by the end they are wooping and cheering the heroes. Welcome to the club, girls.

Carrie Fisher said that Peter Cushing was lovely to her during filming. She said "He would kiss my hand in the morning just like I was real princess. Just before they put on the handcuffs." and "He smelled like lavender and linen. Saying to a man who smells like lavender 'I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board'...it's a challenge!"

They're farming moisture (water in the atmosphere) , a very rare commodity on a dessert planet. 🙂

James Earl Jones indeed voices Darth Vader. But the man actually wearing the costume was a bodybuilder named David Prowse. He's also known for training Christopher Reeve as he prepared to play Superman. Reeve needed to put on muscle to achieve a physique worthy of Superman, so Prowse was enlisted to help him.

"You have taken your first step into a larger world."

The scene with Jabba was originally a deleted scene with Harrison Ford, acting alongside a very human actor. The addition of the alien Jabba the Hutt was in a much, much later “Special Edition”release. If you pay close attention, you can see where they had to work some Hollywood magic with Harrison Ford, given that he walked behind Jabba in the scene. The human actor who first played Jabba had no tail, but the character of Jabba the Hutt has a really long tail.

Carrie Fisher once referred to her Princess Leia hairstyle as "the hairy earphones."

33:50 Leia is comforting him about the death of an old man he just met .... after her planet blew up.

As an Army vet, I can honestly tell you that out of the three of them (Han, Luke and Leia), only Leia actually handles the rifle correctly in the movie (maybe because the prop was heavy? idk). The other two, firing wildly with one hand, would have gotten them whooped by any drill sergeant. LOL!

The "pew pew pew" of the blasters was made by tapping a heavy crescent 🔧 wrench on a heavy duty steel anchor cable that the sound effect guy came across while hiking.

It cannot be overstated the impact of John William's score has on elevating this movie.

My Parents took me to see Star Wars in 1977. When the Star Destroyer (the triangle shaped giant ship) appeared at the beginning and kept going and GOING and GOING the audience couldn't believe it! When Darth Vader first appeared, everyone booed the screen instinctively despite knowing literally nothing about Darth Vader. And when Luke turns off the target computer to make the shot himself with the Force at the end, everyone in the theatre went absolutely BERSERK, standing up and cheering! It was a turning point in modern cinema!

This is what is so great about having so many people reacting to movies. There's always the opportunity to double back on one that's already been done and have a whole new experience.

Lol, "that was the Space Ball they were in..."

"How did they do this in the 70's?" Exactly how you would think - Anthony Daniels (C3P0) is wearing a metal suit in the Tunisian desert 🥵 and Kenny Baker (R2D2 - RIP) is operating a trash can (he passed out from heat exhaustion several times). The rolling R2 is a remote control unit though.

When I was a kid my mom took me to the first showing, opening day of Star Wars. It was life altering and when that music blared for the first time with those yellow letters - what a memory. Movie ended, we walked out the side of the building and right around to the front to stand on line again. My "adult" mom at the time was only 26 so it's only now that I'm older that I realize how much it had to blow her mind as well.

The classic Star Wars are so much better than the recent ones.
