Really enjoyed this reaction, Addie. Can't wait to see the rest of the Star Wars movies with ya. Cheers!

Best line: "I find your lack of faith disturbing".

The reason for "Jabba, you're a wonderful human being." is because when that scene was originally filmed, Jabba WAS in fact a human being. The scene didn't make it into the original version of the movie, and by the time Jabba does appear in the trilogy, he had the form we all know and love. For the 1997 Special Editions, the scene was restored with a CGI Jabba, that honestly looked terrible. Han steps on his tail because in the original scene he walked behind the human Jabba, so they adjusted the scene accordingly. It was later re-done for the BluRay release to make both Jabba and the adjusted Han movement look better.

And fun fact when Luke said “ I can’t see a thing in this helmet.” is improvised by Mark Hamill. But Lucas thought it fit so he left it in. And explains why Stormtroopers are terrible at aiming.

I saw an interview with Mark Hamil (The actor that plays Luke) where he mentions that the pronunciation of Han's name came up several times in filming. Lucas' answer was always "Whatever you want, we'll chalk it up to accents".

The Force in the universe is split between Light and Dark sides, Yin (Dark) and Yang (Light). The Jedi uses the Light Side of the Force for good purpose, defense and knowledge. Such as Telekinesis, Mind Tricks, jump immensely high as well as increasing your speed and strength. They are selfless and fought with love, compassion and harmony. The users of the Dark Side of the Force on the other hand are the complete opposite of the Jedi. It’s easier for them to be seduced and consumed by it. They are selfish, rely on passion, anger, hatred and fear. Dark Side users are more dangerous and deadly with their training and techniques most notably, Force Choke by Darth Vader. Choose which side of the Force carefully.

I'd just like to point out that the CG isn't in the original 1977 release. The Original Trilogy was re-released in 1997 as "special editions" where George Lucas went in and tinkered with the special effects, specifically here in Mos Eisley and the final Death Star assault, to make everything look more like what he originally envisioned. Also, if you think you're confused about Han's name now...wait until the next movie.

I watched this in theaters when it first came out, I was 4 years old, and I’ve been a fan ever since. It’s changed a few times over the years, but still an amazing movie. You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.

Was a fun watch-along, thanks Addie!

If you ultimately succumb to peer pressure/uncritical minds and watch these movies in release order like 99% of all other freaking YouTube reactors, I hope you'll at least keep in mind how certain plot details would've otherwise unfolded if you hadn't in the process. 🤔
