Popped my Star Wars cherry

I always got the feeling that Luke’s massive emotional breakdown at seeing his aunt and uncle charred to death took place off-screen, during the little funeral they had. And that he was more angry about it than he was utterly shocked. Sure, he screams at the top of his lungs when he sees Obi-Wan go, but that’s for two reasons: 1: He had very little time to emotionally react to it, and 2: He was the last person he know from his old home, and seeing him go was like seeing his childhood be cut down in a single lightsaber swipe. And yes, it actually is a hokey movie. A very, very hokey movie. The plot is actually B at best. Episode V and VI are a little better in that regard, but you should also keep in mind that these are movies that were made in the 70’s, and the effects on display were the real draw of the film. These days, most Star Wars IV V and VI viewings are for nostalgia purposes, and the real fandom follows the expanded universe, with books about Wedge Antillies and his X-Wing Squadron and such. Though, now that you’ve seen Episode IV, I have to give you a very important warning. Never. Ever. Ever. Watch the Star Wars Christmas Special. You have been warned.
