Holy shoot! The Overanalyzing Star Wars Series is back!
-
I was 7 when my dad and I rented A New Hope from Blockbuster. I remember my first time watching that shot of the Tative IV and the Star Destroyer orbiting Tatooine's atmosphere.

Enjoy!

as soon as you said “Goldman”, i was invested

The opening scene to 1977 audiences was mind-blowing. That Imperial ship just kept going and going and going. It was HUGE. At about the halfway point, someone said aloud, 'holy sh!t' and when the whole ship was finally revealed, people applauded that absolute audacity for a movie to open with such a ballsy shot. OH... and in Empire a few years later? That line sucked the air out of the theatre. There was no internet, no spoilers, EVERYONE went in blind. After the movie was over, about 1/4 of the packed house went out to the parking lot of the theatre and had a fairly robust, sometimes heated discussion that divided us into "yeah, that's his dad" and "no way, Vader was lying to win Luke over." We had to wait years for the answer.

This is where the fun begins!

- Prowse was not scottish lol. He's from the other end of the island. - There's loads of protocol droids in the universe, even on tatootine. C3P0 didn't give his name, so Lars wouldn't have reason to think that was his old droid. - the fade to black then fade up in a new scene moment is weird now but it's a fairly ordinary scene transition by 70s cinematography conventions when it was filmed.

I just had the opportunity to watch the movies (from 1 to 6) in a film forum Star Wars cycle, lots of fans, older and young, we had a lot of fun with A New Hope on the BIG SCREEN, I even recorded the initial shot with my phone, I became a huge friend of the presenter, also an actor, he saw the movie at the theater when he was 10 years old, huge fan, he told us how significant was when he saw the hologram of Princess Leia for the first time I think I'm watching the definitive analysis of Star Wars, keep going👌

If you are looking for how the Rebels initially received the Death Star Plans, check out Star Wars Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire. It's the story of how Kyle Katarn defecting from the Empire and started working with the Rebellion. I don't understand why C-3PO being in AotC and ANH is a plothole. Protocol droids like 3PO are a dime a dozen, of course Owen doesn't recognize 3PO. That is not Luke's T-16 Skyhopper, that is the Lars family speeder. Owen did know Anakin was a Jedi. He didn't want Luke to learn about Anakin because Jedi training is what lead to his eventual assumed death. "He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damnfool idealistic crusade, like your father did."

David Prowse wasn't Scottish. He was from Bristol, England. His accent is much more like the classic "farmer" accent here. He had a similar accent to Stephen Merchant.

Love the new channel reminds me of your old content from when you started
-
I can fill a couple plot holes. As far as C3PO and R2D2s memories go, they were both wiped at the end of Revenge of the Sith. They wouldnt remember Anakin or the farm at all. I think C3PO recognizes that theyre older than they remember and probably deduced that theyd seen battle before.
-
I can’t wait! Weekly uploads are going make this summer great!
-
Love this! It's actually refreshing to watch these and reignite the love for the OG Star wars, especially with all the negativity towards the ip rn (its warranted) but still nice to go back to the roots ❤
-
Actually Owen not reconizing C3PO isnt really a plot hole. We seen hundreds of protocol droids throughout Star Wars media of all of which are similar looking. And 3PO was not painted gold and was unfinished when he was on the Lars farm. It's not really that hard to believe
-
Thank you so much for making these videos, deafinatly my favorite type of content!!!
-
❤❤❤
-
David was not Scottish
-
Heck yeah!!
-
At the end of revenge of the Sith, I’m pretty sure R2 and C-3PO got their memories wiped and also C-3PO was silver in attack of the clones and gold in New. Hope so Owen probably didn’t recognise C-3PO
