I don't care how large your TV is today, I still remember the effect of the opening sequence on a real movie theater screen, looking up and the massive star destroyer comes into the screen and the sound of battle filled the theater. We all knew this was something different, special, and would change our lives forever. And it did.

To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi: Coby, “you have taken your first step into a larger world.”

Imagine being 6 years old and seeing this on a movie screen in 1977 for the first time. Nothing like this had been seen before. ❤

The Jabba the Hutt scene wasn't in the original theatrical cut. The scene was filmed in 1977, but with a human actor standing in for Jabba. At the time, George Lucas hadn't figured out what Jabba the Hutt was going to look like. The plan was to try to do hand-drawn animation on top of the film to give the actor playing Jabba an alien look. It didn't work out, though, so the scene was abandoned. The deleted scene was then finished with CGI 20 years later as part of the 1997 Special Edition re-release.

My Dad knew Anthony Daniels, the actor who plays C-3PO. He’s a really nice chap. I was about 11-12 when the Phantom Menace came out, and I got invited to go to his house for afternoon tea and to talk about all things Star Wars. I got to try on a couple of parts of the C-3PO costume that he had at home, and Mr. Daniels signed a few things for me. That was such a good day.

I was 13 years old in 1977. Star Wars wasn't just another movie, it was a life altering experience!

I remember getting my mother to watch it with me in the theater. She ended up loving the whole trilogy. Sadly she passed away from cancer in 2011. This movie will always be special to me. She was the best.

Chewbacca was played by Peter Mayhew, a 7'3" hospital orderly. He continued to play the role until 2015, when health issues forced him to split the work with a younger actor, who then took over the role in subsequent movies. Sadly he passed away in 2019. Chewbacca's "voice" was created by mixing various animal noises.

I love the meme where Leia is comforting Luke after Obi Wan died.

“My entire planet was just destroyed but I’m so sorry that the old man you’ve known for a day is dead.”

Every Star Wars film begins with "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" meaning this story takes place a million years ago in a galaxy other than our own, so it has nothing to do with Earth at all.

Here's a fun little fact -- when Luke tells 3P0 the number of the garbage masher's door to open, Mark Hamill says he just improvised and said his home phone number.

It's hard to describe the feeling of seeing this as a kid on the big screen in 1977. It was like the very first day of my existence...........

I'm still salty that Chewie didn't get a medal at the end here. He deserves one too.

"Boring conversation anyway" does pop up from time to time but it's probably one of those deals you may not have even known it was a reference in context.

Finding an original version of Star Wars without "A New Hope" is hard because Lucas doesn't allow the original version to be sold anymore. But it can be seen if you go to the Audio-Visual Conservation at the Library of Congress Packard Campus. Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Culpeper, Virginia. Lucas demanded that the library return the original copy for a replacement of the new version. The library politely told Lucas to go pound sand. The libraries job is to preserve history, not update history.

"THERE'S NO UNDERWEAR IN SPACE"... George Lucas had to convinced Carrie to go Commando under her outfits, explaining that underwear was "an Earth Thing".

Both Vader and Governor Tarkin answer to the emperor, who was mentioned in this movie but not seen.

The opening scene is basically the last time you'll see a Stormtrooper actually hitting a target.

I watched this movie the first day it was released in 1977 as a 16-year old kid, and have been a fan since then. I had never been to a movie where the line went around the outside of the building for hours.
It is difficult for someone to understand the distinctiveness of this movie when watched for the first time in 2024. Some truly groundbreaking features were seen and heard when this movie was released: Modern CGI was essentially invented for this movie, incredible camera tracking, an amazing musical score, and an ongoing script requiring multiple movies to complete the story. This was mind-blowing a movie when released, with nothing like it seen before.
