1 | Star Wars | Episode 4 | A New Hope | FULL FAMILY Reactions

OMG, we are watching Star Wars! This hasn't WON our MOVIE Series POLL yet, but we wanted to squeeze in a few movies (if possible) before Kim and I leave for Disney in October. We'll most likely watch the original 3, then once this WINS the POLLS, we'll watch the entire series :D

As most of you already know, on our VIEWING ORDER POLL, the THEATRICAL RELEASE ORDER WON, so we are taking the original route most of you have journeyed though :) I am not very familiar with Star Wars, so all of your expertise really helps me out, so thank you! After reading all of your comments about what order to go in, I am quite happy we are going the theatrical way now. Keep in mind, Mom and Kim have NO knowledge of this universe AT ALL, so main plot points we take for granted, would not impact them in a good way at all (like who Luke's father actually is) or certain people dying. That and I do believe the special effects may be a bit jarring going back and forth... anywho, thanks so much for VOTING!

Mom and Kim ONLY saw this movie once (Kim was a child!), so they hardly remember anything (except for the names which impressed me!). They have NO idea what happens afterwards.

You can find this video in our Google Drive. Our LINK is located right on this same page. Look for "LINK- MOVIE Reactions". This LINK can appear sometimes at the top of our POSTS page or the bottom, depending on when they were updated. Please feel free to message me directly if you have any issues :)

Oh! And my brother Tom lent us his Bluray version of the original trilogy... it doesn't specify what version it is, but the special effects look a bit better, along with some extra CGI with Jabba and some other aliens... I thought Han shot first in this version... but upon editing the Fair Use version now... it seems he didn't shoot first in this version, doh! I'm assuming the versions we are watching are 'remastered'?

Storm Akima

LOL! I think we'll learn over time! XD You can tell we are newbies!

Storm Akima

excuse me but where is the avatar reaction?

Hashirama

Kim better stop calling Han ‘Hans’ or your brother will take away her nerd-badge! 😆

Denashi

Ok thx, and with what program do you do it all so you make it faster

CrumbSoldier

Hi again TobiiZocktt! I've tried multiple versions of movies/shows in the past because of this request and most times this doesn't change the speed. I've noticed certain 'special' versions of discs sometimes run slower due to a higher frame rate playback... but honestly, I think it depends on what you are watching on (Bluray player vs computer) and what region you are from NTSC or PAL. PAL runs faster than NTSC and I won't unfortunately be able to change that. Sorry for your frustration! Some have told me they were able to speed up our videos by a small percentage with whatever program they were viewing with and that worked well. I compared the original DVD with the Bluray version we watched and they run at the exact speed when I recorded and compared them here. Hope this helps! I wish we all could watch the same frame rate! Thanks so much for being a fan a helping our channel!

Storm Akima

Oh wow! That is so cool! I hope you do work for Lucasfilm one day! That will be amazing! Star Wars is huge and I've always known how much... but today, it still somehow surprises me on why we never got into it growing up (Kim and I)... my brothers are huge fans, but we never sat and watched together ever... hmm.. Hope you enjoyed our reactions to this! XD

Storm Akima

Sorry to hear you had cruddy day! I'm very happy we could cheer you up! It's so much fun watching movies as a family! It really pulls you more into the story, especially feeding off everyone's energy while watching!

Storm Akima

Aww, thanks!!! XD

Storm Akima

Wow! Well, that makes me feel better! I am curious about the special effects, like Jabba in the original version. I am so happy I can finally watch this with Mom and Kim... all my brothers have seen Star Wars and are huge fans... it's so crazy that we've never indulged... Kim there is no surprise since she has always been an outdoors person always outside and helping others when she's not working... when I was a kid, she would NEVER watch TV unless it was SNL or the news... that was it! ... Actually, maybe In Living Color too. LOL! Mom and Kim have absolutely NO idea about Star Wars beyond this movie. Going to be sweet! Thanks again for your comment!! Hope you enjoyed our reactions!

Storm Akima

Oooo, cool! Thanks for the reference too! That helps! I'll explain this to Kim and Mom too so we all have a better understanding of the force!

Storm Akima

I bet they're all good! I so can't wait either! LOL!

Storm Akima

LOL, yes! Yes he did! My brother told me early on too! :D

Storm Akima

Ooooo, I'll keep that in mind! I'm actually quite excited about getting into this! Mom and Kim seem to really like the light sabers!! LOLz!!

Storm Akima

omg love you

Brandon Jensen - May the force be with you

You're going to love Emperor Palpatine as you watch the rest of these films, the master puppeteer in all the films.

Benny

3 words: Han shot first.

Adam Vialpando

Cant wait for Empire Strikes Back, Episode V.

Armchair Wizard

As usual i loved your reaction. To answer your question about the force: Darth Vader was indeed using the force to choke that officer. And although the force is in all life, only some can use it. Like magic in Harry Potter.

Armchair Wizard

YES :D Absolute nice surprise again haha. I don't care about version too much for reactions, the original film rolls haven't been released (which is a shame!). So unless you go and get the unaltered fan version, mixed with the HD footage. Really that's a fun hobby thing, but I'd never expect reactors to go and torrent that whole version. Can't wait to get all set up and watch along :) And so rare to watch with people who haven't been following along with star wars lore much at all :D

Lee Salvemini

It's not strange. It's how the story is supposed to be told. If you watch from episode 1 then the big reveal would be ruined.

HybridThizzle

That's a shame that you can let separate works be separate. (Even though I for one enjoy the heck out of the new trilogy)

HybridThizzle

pls look 1-3 thats so funny and EPIC

CrumbSoldier

Can you please take the normal version next time because when I look at it is my version faster and I think that is with the others also so

CrumbSoldier

No why xD start with the first otherwise is it strange!

CrumbSoldier

Can't say I really enjoy these films anymore. The 'magic' has sort of been sucked out of them due to poor direction and mismanagement. That being said I do hope you guys enjoy at least the first 6. If you intend on going into the others, well best of luck to you all. :p

Namey Namerson

I'm so happy. Star Wars shaped so much of who I am as an adult. It's the reason I study writing and philosophy. It sparked my life-long love of science fiction and space fantasy. One day I hope to work for Lucasfilm in some capacity. Can't wait to watch the OT with you fine ladies.

Koala Banana

Oh my! Been having a rather crappy day so far, but this was a lovely surprise to come home to! Always a pleasure seeing you guys enjoying fun movies! Can't wait to see the rest of this saga with you all! <3

WhatAvery

I agree! We have fun watching either way... my brother gave me his copy to watch and I was surprised with the added special effects... I was like, there is no way this is the original. Jabba almost didn't look like he belonged in the scene next to Han. Less is more in most cases. Hope you still enjoy watching with us!! XD

Storm Akima

Thanks for saying this! I just edited the description. I am looking at the boxset now and it doesn't specify anything besides the movie titles... they are Blurays, the special effects are a bit better with the ships and aliens... especially Jabba... but Han still shoots first! I'm assuming this is the 'remastered' version? Hope this helps!

Storm Akima

My parents have fond memories of first seeing this film in theaters. Everyone was wowed by that opening and the special effects. You don't really get to have those groundbreaking experiences in movies anymore. I like the original trilogy, but I really wish we could get the theatrical cuts back instead of George Lucas' doctored up edits. They really ruin some parts of the series.

Which version of episode 4 is this? There are multiple versions and I want to be sure I watch the right one.
