I have a very important announcement to make.
I just watched Star Wars: A New Hope for the very first time. That’s right, ever. Previously I had only seen very small clips, though I knew the whole plot thanks to being surrounded by nerds. I also have never seen Episodes 5 and 6.
The worst part? I’ve seen the new trilogy.
Though the oddest part was that it was just sort of alright. I mean, some parts were funny, some parts were dated, and some parts were just terrible. I guess it’s different watching it without the childhood memories and attachment. Luke has effectively no reaction to seeing the horrifically charred bodies of the two people who raised him for eighteen years, but the spooky disintegration of Obi Wan leaves him screaming and upset? What the hell, Luke? You’ve known him for only a couple hours, and all he did was give you super vague advice about the Force!
Ok, I’m going to shut up now before I make you guys want to stone me even more. Will watch the other Episodes later!

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.
