I'm 54 years old I went to see "A New Hope" in 1977 at the age of 9.5 at the cinema with my father one sunday afternoon almost 45 years ago. Talk about you learn something new everyday I think I knew of probably 3 of the 101 facts on your splendid video pa!.

@MaraJadeSkky Год назад

I saw it with my father and his father. We re-watched it so many times together over the years. It's a great memory to have.

@gabriel.skywalker44 2 года назад

The whole story of A New Hope is beautiful

@crazyjedi5994 2 года назад

So amazing that even all these years later, there’s more to learn about the film.

@sebwarriner 2 года назад

The most interesting bit to me was that the Death Star's aiming at Yavin was not added until post-production. Imagine that not being in the movie, the final fight wouldn't be nearly as iconic.

@hefoughtabear118 2 года назад

yep. Star Wars was saved in the editing room

@paulcarboni4511 Год назад

@@hefoughtabear118 Yep. There's even a really good documentary on RU-vid called something like, "Star Wars: Saved by the Edit." It mentions this exact edit plus many others that DEFINITELY made the movie much better.

@minicle426 2 года назад

During the meeting on the Death Star there was originally a line of dialogue filmed which identified Vader as a Sith, but this was ultimately cut out of the final edit. So the actual title wouldn't be spoken onscreen until the Prequels came out.

Ah, I see. I had wondered where certain EU projects had gotten that word before it was actually mentioned in Ep. 1. Most notably, author Timothy Zahn had misinterpreted Vader's "Lord of the Sith" title and wanted to use the Sith for what became the Noghri species until he was obviously shot down.

@sergioreyes61 2 года назад

"...So he didn't have to follow any real-world physics or rules", yeah, tell that to the RU-vid "plot hole" nitpickers community. I love that Lucas always thought of it as fantasy more than science fiction.

that last fact about the release date is quite interesting. very smart thinking by George ( 19:11 )

@latewizard301 2 года назад

Always interpreted Luke's reaction to Owen and Beru as anger. He didn't learn to controll his anger until after Empire after all.

@bold1066 2 года назад

I saw an interview with Mark Hamill where he talks about the change from Starkiller to Skywalker. He said they brought him in for the reshoot and his first thought was that instead of reshooting it he should ADR it and use the camera angle from the back. But, they wanted that line where the camera is on his face. Great list!

@myriadmediamusings 2 года назад

I highly recommend "The Hero's Journey" RU-vid miniseries by SFDebris if you wanna really get into the nitty gritty of George Lucas's efforts to get A New Hope made. It takes as much of the verified sources out there and attempts to put it in a cohesive documentary tale.

Great video! Didn’t know a lot of these. ANH was the first movie I went to see in theaters. I was 4 or 5 years old. After they all got out of the trash compactor, the film reel broke!

@shadowdramon01 Год назад

I prefer not having Jabba appear until Jedi. Not only because, as mentioned in the video, his appearance is redundant because his conversation with Han is almost word-for-word the same one Han just had with Greedo, but also, because it builds him up as this mysterious and powerful figure for when we finally do see him.

A couple models were made. The life-sized one only featured the bottom half of the sandcrawler, thus the jawas could be seen next to the giant mat in the scene where they sell the droids at Lars' Homestead. The miniature was used in scenes where the sandcrawler had to be shown thoroughly.

Its amazing how a movie with a bloody severed arm, genocide, and 2 burnt human carcasses would have been rated G back in '77 but nowadays one wrong word can bump a Disney film all the way up to a PG on the spot.

@Compucles 2 года назад

The ratings were rightly shifted when the PG-13 rating was introduced in the 80's. However, you are correct that the ratings have shifted even more in more recent years. Hardly anything manages to get a G rating these days, and I still don't get why all of the Disney Star Wars movies deserve a PG-13 rating compared to Eps. I & II getting PG ratings. Maybe "Rise of Skywalker" and/or "Solo" should still be PG-13, but the rest?

Why did the stormtroopers have dubacks (sp) on a spaceship? I've always thought this was weird when they could use tie fighters to cover more ground. And to have a whole section on a ship dedicated to housing animals seems odd. Or did they go to Mos Eisley and bring them back to the escape pod?
