When Han comes blazing in saving Luke at the end the entire theater erupted with cheers it was awesome back in 77

[mrcydonia]

I was 7 in 1977, when the first movie came out, and it blew my mind. It's hard to impress upon kids today just how amazing and revolutionary it was.

[Rayawar]

may the highground be with you, on this journey of breaking down star wars!

[zacatronattack]

You missed the part when Luke's aunt says "he is too much like his father" and Uncle Owen said "that's what I'm afraid of".

[MenolExarkun]

The name "Bendu" was more recently used to name the giant force sensitive creature who helps Ezra and Kanan in Rebels

[raelynn]

I can't believe you found things I'd never seen in the 42 years I've rewatched this movie. Thanks man!

[JackQSmith]

I always perceived Han shooting Greedo as self-defense regardless of who shot first. Greedo had a gun in his face and was making threats, and was going to take him to Jabba. He didn't need Greedo to shoot first for it to be self-defense.

[TheJJboy]

I'M HERE AFTER KENOBI EPISODE 3 AND WOAHHHH THE BURN MARKS COULD BE FROM THAT!! WE SHALL SEE

[beaumcdean]

Luke destroys Death Star, with help: gets ceremony and medal.



Poe destroys even bigger Starkiller Base, mostly by himself: gets demoted and slapped.

"Everyday I worry all day
About what's waiting in the bushes of love
'Cause something is waiting in the bushes for us
Something is waiting in the bushes of love"

[Sogster]

In the scene when all the generals are sitting together, there is an empty chair, presumably for Krennic

[mathewaasish]

This is by far my favorite channel doing breakdowns of marvel, star wars etc. Eric makes everything so much better!

[SuperStreetWarrior]

People tend to forget that Luke almost killed Obi-Wan when he activated the lightsaber.

[smellycheese]

I literally just finished watching this movie for the 2millionth time and Its such a coincidence that this gets uploaded right after

[mikhailmikhail]

This was actually my favorite Star Wars movie...excellent job.

[michealnotmichael]

I'm watching this rn and when Erik said: "The greatest SW character, Darth Vader." I remembered about David Prowse, the actor of DV. Rest in the Force, David.

[kvaldez]

Jango Fett hits his head on Slave 1 in episode 2 as a funny reference to that storm trooper

[MichaelDuntz]

and then in the 2019 recut for Disney+, Greedo says Maclunkey

[william]

To me, the most startling thing in the "Special Edition" was all the CGI creatures, especially those added in Mos Eisley. Completely unnecessary.

[slarstuff]

“And starkiller base”
Starkiller (Vaders apprentice for those who somehow don’t know): am I a joke to you?
