Han: "Jabba, you're a wonderful human being."

Jabba: "But dude I'm just a slug"

Seems like George Lucas has wore the same shirt and jeans for 50 years.

Y'know what's amazing to me is Harrison Ford is still pulling off a great Han Solo even in the screen tests wearing a plaid shirt, without all the clothing and special effects and whatnot.

31:02 Luke ran over. something caught his eye. He moved closer and to his surprise he saw... old Ben sitting there with crew members.

The attack on the Death Star is perhaps my favorite scene in cinematic history.  The curt, no-nonsense dialogue between the pilots strikes me as realistic (I come from a big Navy family), and those touches of realism really add to the terrific mounting tension.  It puts the viewer "in the scene", grabs 'em by the cahonas and does NOT let go.  Impressive for such a long sequence.

I actually didn't realize before that Old Ben was throwing some shade when he put the blinder on Luke after Han Solo talks about all the stuff he's "seen" yet doesn't believe in the Force.

15:47 "That old man is mad" Lol Chewie

Holly shit, the solo/luke outakes are pure gold character development

3:09 Hey that's Anakins  line!

Amazing how the whole attack on Yavin was put together in post production, an amazing show of the power of editing

Thank god all this magic was just in the recycling bin and never got fully deleted!

I've always thought it so ridiculous how the control panel where Obi Wan deactivates the tractor beam is on this skinny ledge with no railing, over an abyss. Why would the Empire design something that way? The poor technicians who have to go out there would always risk falling off.

"I'm beginning to not like you", GOLD!!!!

Artoo waddling down the stairs is beautiful.

58:49 Those are not cardboard people; they are part of the larger matte painting of the throne room. It's incredible how crude they were, but it worked.

4:38 BANG !! lol

22:12 - 22:16 "And don't call me Shirley" :) LOL

Around 56:31, seeing Darth Vader recover and leave before the Death Star explodes makes him look like a coward in the original script.  I see why in the final cut that he recovers and escapes after the Death Star explodes makes perfect sense.  It tells me Vader is thinking, "I've lost today, but I'll be back!"  It puts that kind of emotional weight and a huge note to the Audience  that this battle is far from over, and that a sequel will come soon.  Just seeing Vader escape before the Death Star explodes makes him look like a coward because he could've easily got back in the battle and kill Luke before he launches his torpedos destroying the station.  That's why I prefer the final cut over the original script version as it has stronger impact to end the film properly.

To see this film back in 77 must have been amazing.Still great even today

Re: “Close the blast doors.”   The “Very obscure version” = the mono mix of SW77.   Millions of film watchers saw it that way.  Probably a majority.

This video is so cool!  Well done.
