First Time Watching Star Wars IV - A New Hope 

Swear to god though R2 has seen more battle and action than probably anyone in the galaxy bro has been everywhere 😂

@@rangerghost2474 by the sequels hes around 80 years old

R2 seen the start, the end, the best and the worst through out the entire history lmao

When you look at R2s involvement and all the stuff he knows that went down from the prequels with Anakin and all the stupid shit that C3PO says, if they gave R2 arms he'd be bitch slapping him.

One of my favorite head canons was the Star Wars movies were recorded and narrated by R2 and 3PO and we’re watching a recap based off their recollection

and Rebels too please!

I wouldn't recommend Clone Wars to most reactors but given how much these guys are into shows like Ben 10 and Teen Titans, it'd be right up their alley.

@@tortoiseoflegends4466exactly! since this is such an animation focused channel its perfect

screw it, they should react to all the series's! :D after the movies ofc

Also the bad batch!

I still don't understand the complaint. It was in self defense.

@@hunterackerman1697 The scene was actually altered 5 different times. Originally Han shot before Greedo could respond. This was to establish Han as more of a morally grey, no nonsense type character. Lucas thought later that it made Han look like a bad guy, so he had the scene re-edited to have Greedo fire first, miss, and have Han fire in self defense. Fans didn't like this because they felt like it was a bit of a character assassination of Han. The 3rd edit kept Greedo firing first but made him slower at pulling the trigger... which honestly makes Han look less skilled when you see the edit because Greedo pulls his blaster like a snail. The 4th edit made it so Han and Greedo shot _at the same time,_ which is admittedly somewhat better. The 5th and most recent edit gives Greedo an extra line of dialogue, "Maclunkey," before he fires his blaster. But it's still timed to have them both shoot at the same time. IMO, I like the act of Han firing first in the original cut, but I actually prefer some of the later edits that change the exchange of fire into a wider shot rather than a closeup on Greedo getting blasted as it was originally. The 4th edit is probably my favorite presentation overall, but it could be made better if they still kept Han as the one who fires first.

original Star Wars fans are the most cringe people on the planet. I say this as a fan but they’re unbearable at times crying about everything

​@@Limebradley That's not really just a Star Wars thing. Take any beloved character introduction, like Doc Brown in Back To The Future, Jack Sparrow in Pirates or Hannibal Lecter in Silence Of The Lambs. The fans of any of those movies would be pissed if in the only official HD versions, their intro was changed to cut out an interesting part of their character.

@@tortoiseoflegends4466 it wasn’t the introduction though we’d already seen him have a conversation with ob1 and Luke at that point so that’s a stupid statement tbh

Oh yeah, when Mark read for the Joker he was sure he wouldn't be chosen because 'They won't want to cast Luke Skywalker as a psychotic bad guy"

@@BrendanKOD and then I’m sure they loved his work as the joker and then they cast him as ozai for an even eviler…??? Villain 😂✨ he’s been so many voices I mean wow

@@captainteeko4579 Hey, it's like the writer who wrote The Exorcist(I forget the name). He originally had trouble pitching his idea because he was known for his lighthearted comedies, then after The Exorcist was a huge success, no one wanted to have "The guy who wrote the exorcist" writing the sort of lighthearted comedies he'd been known for before.

Hearing him as one of the best and creepiest joker laughs from playing the hero of generations...He's literally been on both sides--Light and Dark.

They should wait until after The Rise of Skywalker

@@thegoodreylo4749 yeah maybe

@@thegoodreylo4749why

@@thegoodreylo4749oh nvm ur a 7-9 meat rider

​@thegoodreylo4749 clone wars after Rots is release order tho.

No way

@@complex2liveyep. Englund auditioned for Han Solo. He didn’t get it but told Hamill about the audition and said he’d be good for the Luke character.

Before Mark Hamil got the role of Luke Skywalker. That guy from the movie Carrie 1978 who plays Tommy. He originally auditioned the role for Luke. Crazy or not he was damn good being Luke which is insane. But he didn't get it which is good cuz I prefer Mark Hamil as Luke mostly.

@@johnnymoreno5065that’s really cool. Carrie had a great cast in retrospect.

Yes, and until he got the complete script, he did not realize that he would be playing the central character of the saga. He thought he was auditioning for just a supporting role.

Boo this man off stage!

​Booo!

​@@lokimiguel2452look you dont have to like it but to say it's not groundbreaking is stupid. This movie literally changed sci fi, heck films in general. Im not saying you have to like it, I'm saying atleast understand why people say its groundbreaking

Keep telling that to yourself, your opinion is like an ant to a mountain of those who love this movie

@@lokimiguel2452 you misunderstand, yes the movie is basically just a fantasy adventure but in space. Point is there it's influence can't be denied, once again, this is not about opinion

It really is when you think about it lol

And Dune.

So much lore from these little throw away lines. Like Luke asking Ben "You fought in the clone wars?" basically set the stage for the entire prequel story.

@@Nonamearisto This was after Dune (the first 3 books anyway) was written, Star Wars draws a lot of inspiration from Dune.

@@Nonamearisto Bro Dune is 12 years older than Star Wars

yeah ... I gotta say Im a bit bummed that Boom didnt make sure they got the non CG version. In this one its not that much of an issue but Im sure we can all agree on NOT wanting to see the Jabbas Palace musical interlude? Or just me?

They’re trolling us, right? They have to know it was added later. 😬

@@Daelyas Totally agree, I actually hate the added cgi characters. I can understand using things like doing touch ups on scenic shots in backgrounds or cleaning up the image for the Blu Ray but I've never liked the cgi characters they added. I literally tracked down the last DVD's released before they changed everything. The VHS set I owned had the original theatrical version where Han Shot Greedo First. It makes me really sad the original theatrical version isn't on new blu ray versions or on streaming services, I'd like the choice for real.

@@Daelyas Is there even an (easy) way to get the older versions?

@@stingerbrg that I cannot say, I got them on VHS - already a changed version in itself, but only the 3rd "enhanced" edition. Why they cant stop fiddling with this movie every 5 years or so is beyond me. Its not a video game you have to patch

"You are talking a lot of shit for someone in choking distance, Commander."

Even if after all the retcons, it makes absolutely no sense for anyone to be talking to Vader like that. 😂

The best part is that any distance is "choking distance" as long as he can see you.

@@Longshanks1690 I mean even in current Canon Jedi have been super rare in the Galaxy. The most people have probably heard about Jedi is they became traitors and were destroyed (if the Imperial Propaganda even let that information get out) and before that they were just a weird cult. It'd be like being in a high-level military briefing and hearing a scientologist go "Your nukes may be powerful but they're no match for the powers in the universe."

@@JackToeRip The Inquisitorius and Vader’s countless feats would have already built him a reputation and made Force wielding abilities something they were very much aware of. It is laughable that the guy who does the things Vader does in the Vader comics gets snarked at by this pipsqueak like he’s never heard of what Vader can do before.

Yeah the 501st and other cosplay groups are approved by Disney and regularly called to fill in as extras in movies and shows! The Mandalorian show also has some Mandalorians played by cosplayers in their own armor!

@@lokimiguel2452 What the hell are you talking about? George Lucas wrote and directed the original Star Wars movie. He didn't write or direct Empire

@@samfisher6606 No, he went back in time and create star wars stealing it from a guy that would write it this year

​@@Qoobon_Nice reference

And despite it, Han delivered his explanation of lightspeed travel _perfectly._

@@samfisher6606 george wrote all first 6 star wars but only directed IV, I, II, and III

So THATS where we can get the actual unaltered versions! NIce!

Fun fact Lucas didn't feel this film was done. So he didn't submit it until the late 90's after he'd remastered it. It was rejected because he'd removed the scenes it was selected for.

I was literally going to comment this ya beat me to it lol

@@rpgrage7711 Had to use Han Solo’s version because he said it first.

​@@thegoodreylo4749 oh I was a bit confused there for a sec

@@thegoodreylo4749 He *is* famous for doing things first, after all.

I hope not.

Dude, there is so much trivia in the music Alone for these original films! There’s like a Ton of cut music for Empire that’s still left in the soundtrack!

It genuinely hurts me how butchered that explanation was for a newbie. 😭

I mean, he was already shooting in self defense.

The issue with it really is the original take shows everything we need to know about han He is a no nonsense practical person who makes his own luck and chance Where's the edit takes away that grey roguish charm It's a little thing but it effects the characterization and shows why when Lucas had full reign in the prequels, the characters were some of the weakest written cut outs imaginable

Binary Sunset is one of my favorite tracks from all of star wars

you have gay people as your profile

Same, this was very unexpected

May the 4th be with you.

​@@TheMaskGamer2007May the 4th be with you

And also with you. Let us pray.

The Prequels weren't as bad as people like to pretent, they had a lot of cool moments, lots of cool music, and the fights were amazing. The Sequels are trash, we all agree on that.

@@Lupinemancer87 another accurate statement right there

lies, the fans loved the clones wars.

@@lokimiguel2452 You’re not edgy. Stop trying to be different.

@@lokimiguel2452 Trust me, my favorite Star Wars movie is THE LAST JEDI. I’ve had my share of not going with the majority. A New Hope is simply a masterpiece.

@@thegoodreylo4749 Agreed! Even when there were just 6 films "A New Hope" was and still is the very essence of Star Wars.

@@thegoodreylo4749 question, how much hate have you gotten for that opinion? not trying to be rude, just curious

"YO MAMA IS SO FAT THAT JABBA THE HUT SAID DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM" -Luke Skywalker

The special edition CGI doesn’t hold up but the practical effects do.

Very little of the special edition additions are good and they take away from the original Greedo shooting first CGI Jabba and them having the exact same conversation we heard between greedo and han The Dubbing lines in return of the Jedi Etc. Eughhh,

@@mckenzie.latham91 greedo shoots first so Han looks better by comparison

@@cacklebabygg6156 no he doesn’t, Greedo was going to kill him all along anyway, but the way Han handled it his way said a lot about his character having him shoot second showed how little Lucas actually understood the character, which suggests to me most of Hans character was developed by others suggestions that Lucas took down then when Lawrence Kasdan took over from him in the next two films to basically rewrite his story into an actual decent screenplay that worked (almost all we know of star wars was because of Lawrence Kasden actually making lucas script work) you could see how Han was SUPPOSED to be written. When you see how Kasden wrote Yoda explaining the force in Empire strikes back, then see phantom menace where Lucas had al creative control, and see him retcon everything in empire with Medichlorians, which totally kills everything that makes the force the force, shows you exactly who actually made star wars star wars and it was never lucas.

@@mckenzie.latham91 midiclorians don't break any Canon, it's just a more specific sciency explanation

1997, yes. The Jabba scene, in particular, was actually a deleted scene which wasn't in the original theatrical cut. It featured an actor standing in for Jabba, probably because Jabba's design wasn't fully conceptualized yet. The scene never made the original cut. However by 1997, with all 3 original movies released and Jabba having his final design already featured in Return of the Jedi, they went back and remastered the deleted scene, superimposing a rough CGI version of Jabba over the actor and including it in the 1997 special edition release. They later went on to re-edit it again and replace it with better CGI in later releases. In fact, there is even a fan edited version that completely changes Jabba into a Hologram, which honestly makes the most sense, imo.

The lore is that the barkeeper's parents were killed by battle droids, that's why he doesn't want them in his cantina

Also, great Star Wars games are Jedi: Fallen Order, Jedi: Survivor, and Star Wars Battlefront 2

They also edited scenes and redubbed lines Which have all been universally condemned as unneeded For example greedo shooting first The dubbed lines in return if the Jedi Horrendous CGI of random animals and stuff that has no purpose but to clutter up the screen...

The glow of the lightsaber fight between vader and Obi-wan alone show that. The bit of Biggs enthusiasm meeting Luke was great stuff they shouldn´t have cut. Han Solo interaction with Jabba this early on was fun too. Graphic deaths Owen and Beru more impact. Overall of the trilogy the New Hope is far and wide the best in remastered form.

And the reason it was cut in the original (Lucas had no control over the cut and editing, as it was his ex wife that did it) Was because the entire conversation is just a repeat of everything that was said between greedo and han But If George wanted to have the CGI scene in there so it went in later.

​@@mckenzie.latham91Not quite true. They filmed it with the intention to add a stop motion Jabba onto the scene. Upon realizing they lack to the budget, they adjusted the Greedo dialogue to get across all the information that the Jabba would have.

​@@jordancooney6817and yet then they Kept both scenes despite the one making the other redundant Which they did because Lucas wanted his CGI scene put in there.

@@mckenzie.latham91 I know. It's pretty pointless.

And became a character in his own right in Mandalorian.

😂

He doesn’t even know about the reveal in ESB very clearly, he’s gonna be the first guy since the 80s to have an actual reaction to it. 😂

I am just flabbergasted that he didn't know Mark was LUKE SKYWALKER.

general kenobi…

tales of the Jedi, Tales of the Empire

He actually was originally going to be a human.

It is kind of cute

Never seen this get recommended to a reactor doing sw but it's a good idea lol haven't seen it in years but I remember it being good

It was a great show series especially growing up

7-9 exist and they’re better than 1-3
