I decided to watch Star Wars for the first time. I’ll be providing thoughts/reactions along the way. A thread:

Episode IV: A New Hope
- C-3PO is annoying, but did make me laugh a few times.
- Luke was WAY more upset by Obi-Wan disappearing than his Aunt & Uncle being killed.
- Obi-Wan is kind of creepy

- Princess Leia is pretty cute.
- Luke went from farmer to fighter pilot real quick.

Episode IV continued
- Han saved the day!
- Darth Vader got away

- R2-D2 is alive!
- Chewbacca’s yells/roars trip me out

- The force is strong with Luke

- Luke & Han are both eyeballing Leia.
- I looked like Jabba after Thanksgiving dinner.
- The bar was really weird.

Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
- First off, I just want to say that I liked this movie a whole lot more than A New Hope. I’m already looking forward to the next one.
- The cold planet was cool (pardon the pun

)
- It didn’t take long for Luke to find himself in trouble.

Episode V continued
- Who knew that the abominable snowman lived on that planet?

- Han was smart to cut open that frost camel so Luke could stay warm.
- Han & Leia have a tense, but good chemistry.
- I liked how they gave Han & Chewbacca more character development in this one.

Episode V continued
- Leia kissed Luke

- Luke was smart to trip that big snow walker.
- I still don’t like C-3PO.
- R2-D2 is the best.
- Yoda was extremely creepy at first.
- Hiding on the side of the ship was brilliant. Nice going Han!
- Han & Leia are getting romantic

Episode V continued
- C-3PO was a pain, but he deserved better.
- C-3PO is still alive. Now I want him dead again

- Lando betrayed them!
- Lando came through

- Han is frozen

- Vader cut off Luke’s hand!

- Vader is Luke’s father

- Luke has a new hand.

Episode V continued
- Why does Luke need an artificial hand, can’t he just use the force?
- What’s the deal with this bounty hunter guy? His helmet is like The Mandalorian, so I guess he’s a bounty hunter too.

Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

(or now he’ll be a vision like Obi-Wan)
