So if the Stormtroopers were right handed and their weapons were left handed, that might explain their lack of accuracy

"No banger theme"?? Might I remind you of Binary Sunset, the Cantina Band and the Princess Leia Theme? Not to forget the Death Star Trench Run music, the Fanfares in the End and also the Death Star Disguise Scene music? Iconic themes, often used in other Star Wars media!

Obi wans iconic line: "That's no moon, it's a space station" isn't popular? I beg to differ.
"These aren't the droids you are looking for" He does have a few.

That is another reason why I love Star Wars: A New Hope. I have literally watched this movie more times than I can count (I lived in Japan as a Navy Brat and we didn't have English television and I had the Star Wars Trilogy on VHS). I have every line memorized. It is still great to find these little nuggets that even I missed. (by the way, I still watch A New Hope at least 2-3 times a month)

“That’s no moon.” Is incredibly iconic and an intimidating line! “Use the force, Luke.” “The force will be with you, always” “myself, the boy, two droids, and no questions asked.”

My favorite fact: Mark Hamill didn't see a single Star Wars movie before making Episode IV.

As a kid, I saw a TV showing of the original Star Wars trilogy (the "original" original, before George Lucas re-edited it in the late 90s) that was hosted by Carrie Fisher. Some of the tidbits she shared about her experiences filming "A New Hope" included her worry that if she didn't lose enough weight that Lucas would replace her with Jodie Foster, that if Anthony Daniels hadn't been cast as C-3PO the other contender for the part spoke with "a very fast Brooklyn accent", that the rest of the cast affectionately referred to Darth Vader actor David Prowse as "Darth Farmer", ("The only thing intimidating about him was his size, " Fisher said) and that Prowse had trouble seeing where he was going in the Vader helmet and had to shoot the scene where he comes into Leia's cell to interrogate her several times because he kept hitting his head on the low doorway to the cell.

"YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE HIS IDENTIFICATION" IS EXTREMELY ICONIC

Fun list. I always thought that Tusken Raider loop looked quite hokey and subprofessional.

I don't think that was a planetary shield on Alderan, i think that was a small detail of the atmosphere flash burning away.

I was in the British Army and got switched from the SLR to a Sterling SMG (real guns not props) and can say that it’s more likely they switched around the weapon to hide the brass ejection port rather than the magazine port bumping into the actor… as we all know, lasers don’t have brass ejection ports and the gun fired from an open breech so there was a great big gap there with a big assed spring inside. Also the ejection port has a big lip that is almost as big as the magazine port to stop your hand sliding over the port and taking off your fingers with ejected brass. I think it actually did happen with the Sten SMG (the one that came before the Sterling) as it didn’t have a finger guard.

No theme?!? The opening bars of the Star Wars theme itself is probably the most recognizable movie score in the world!

I knew that Tusken was looped from the first time I saw it in 1977.

My head canon for Leia’s accent was that was her formal speech pattern for political events, and Tarkin was a known political figure so she’d encountered him in more formal circumstances before

No iconic line??? How do you explain, "These aren't the droids you're looking for, " and, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”?

I like the fact that for the majority of Peter Cushing's screen time, he was wearing slippers because the production couldn't get his size of boots in time

Well done. No messing around, that was a lot to cover in 15 minutes.

He does say one of the best lines "These are not the drones you are looking for"

Only 2 billion deaths? I would have thought one of the most significant industrialized worlds in the galaxy, Alderaan, would have had a larger population.
