The first time I seen this movie was with my mother God rest her soul. She wasn't understanding the sci fi aspects of it but she understood the oppression this Galactic Empire was and how Force was is like God's power. I glad you enjoyed it.

The CGI that was added was nice and all, but the majority of the effects that look so awesome were practical effects with scale models and such. Plus, the desert scenes weren’t sound stages. They filmed in Tunisia, in the desert, and it caused all sorts of problems for the cast and crew due to the heat.

Fun fact: in the Star Wars universe, the battle at the end of this movie is so pivotal, that it divides epochs. Dates are listed as BBY or ABY (Before/After Battle of Yavin) and the year it happens (year 0) is also the year 7977 of the Coruscant Reckoning Calendar. Of course, it’s no coincidence that the movie came out in 1977. I know. I’m a total nerd.

The scene with Jabba the Hutt wasn’t in the original release. It was filmed with a man in a fur coat with a Scottish accent and the Hutts were originally a human crime family. It wasn’t until Return of the Jedi that Jabba was actually seen on screen. By then, he’d been re-conceptualized as the creature we all know and love.

She knew it was James Earl Jones but her head pulled a fast one on her - at least she didn't say Morgan Freeman. But also Coby just watched The Matrix for the first time for Criminal Content, our sister channel.

It’s just that Lawrence Fishburne was 16 when Star Wars came out and James Earl Jones is probably one of the top three most recognizable voices in Hollywood. It’s all good. Just funny.

I know it's simpler for you and the viewers to watch the 90s edition (with updated FX), but I really recommend watching the original, despecialized editions on your own sometime. (You can find them on The Internet Archive.) In many subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways I think the original trilogy is superior to the revised versions. And you'll be able to experience what audiences in the 70s, 80s, and 90s did and see the versions that influenced so many later filmmakers.

When you've never seen STAR WARS and THE MATRIX and you mix up names in your head - it happens to the best of us, lol

"Who's in the Chewie outfit?" Lawrence Fishburne. 😉
