"Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're looking for passage to the Alderaan system."
"Yes. If it's a fast ship."
"Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?"

lmao han is so full of shit

"It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs."

the fullest of the shittest

hey, it's my good friend Greedo
and that's a wrap on Greedo
Han was right to shoot him. Greedo would absolutely have killed him if he hadn't.

*rewinds* oh huh

no actual frames of Han shooting, say, first here huh

Not even any frames of Greedo shooting at all β€” Han doesn't shoot first, he's only one to shoot!!
whole "Han shot first" thing blown wide fuckin open

"The door's locked. Move on to the next one."

well if the door is locked there's clearly no way the droids we're looking for are behind it

and that's a wrap on the people of Alderaan

"Our position's correct, except no Alderaan."

crushing

The closest equivalent to what Vader feels like here in the later movies is, like, Captain Phasma. An armour, a voice, a threat. All implication.

"Your destiny lies along a different path from mine."

Obi-Wan knows which one of them is the face of the franchise and which one of them is here to pay for their new house.

"She's rich."
"Rich?"

yeah, Leia's got a lot of cash in the First Bank of Alderaan, you can see it float by now

"I can't see a thing in this helmet."

you know, he really is a little short for a stormtrooper

just a good ol' goofy sci-fi laser gun fight

"I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!"

wahoo

"The Jedi are extinct. Their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion."

always loved the idea, see also Qui-Gonn in Phantom Menace, with his silly fringe ideas about midichlorians, of the Jedi not as this great galactic peacekeeping force but just a weird, if influential, cult

"Escape is not his plan. I must face him alone."

Obi-Wan's plan is clearly to die so as to be Luke's, well, uh, Uncle Ben, making him the hero of the story

you'd think they'd go further down this tunnel but they can't because it's a matte painting
all three of them are idiots on their own, but together, Luke, Han, and Lei have just enough brain cells to be the scrappy heroes this story needs

"If you hurry, you might catch them!"

you barely need a jedi mind trick to mind trick a stormtrooper

Artoo hacking da computer wall with his droid penis.

"Listen to them, they're dying, R2!"

Threepio is so funny.

"If we can just avoid any more female advice, we ought to be able to get outta here."

han shut the fuck up

"I don't know who you are or where you came from..."

because none of that matters, because what matters is that he's here, right now, doing the right thing even though he doesn't want to

had to take receipt of a package, then got distracted (had to poop), but back now, let's go
Harrison Ford is such a funny physical actor when it's asked of him.

"I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master."
"Only a master of evil, Darth."

he 100% says Darth the same as if he'd said "Dave" β€” it's just his name here.

"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

Uncle Ben's power is felt every single time Spider-Man saves somebody

Obi-Wan has visibly been waiting for Luke to get here to see him die.
Vader's foot checking to make sure the robe is actually empty β€” even he doesn't know what just happened there.
I love every time the Falcon in flight wobbles like the prop on sticks it is. Adore it. Let me feel how you made it.
ba-baa-ba, ba-baa-ba, ba-baa-baa-ba-ba-ba

"I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This better work."

the guy who let George keep the toy rights over here

"You think a princess and a guy like meβ€”?"
"No."

preposterous, clearly. it'd never work out. they'd have one kid who'd turn out to be an asshole, then they'd break up and both die alone on different planets

"Then man your ships, and may the Force be with you."

general Dodonna never strikes you as a big Force guy, does he.

time for the farm boy to go fight the dragon
look at all these people. look at all these props. look at this world, this story. what a picture.
red seventeen standing by

@Alexis "Green 420 standing by"

"get off comms you idiot"

@The_T who even let Porkins' cousin Smokins on comms
@Alexis After Porkins dies they had to replace him on short notice, they were down a pilot
@Alexis also, god, naming the fat pilot Porkins, christ, jesus

@The_T yeah, sucks, that's one bit you'd think they'd cut in a modern edit

because I don't think pigs even exist here

Hoth hog

Hoth hogs were small, omnivorous relatives of the ice scrabbler that lived on the ice planet Hoth. They used their tongues to locate thermal vents or heated caves when scavenging in family units and then dug down to find their food using powerful clawed feet. Hoth hogs were eaten by members of the tauntaun species. Hoth hogs were a type of small,[3] omnivorous creature that was able to develop on the ice planet Hoth due to the presence of slow-growing vegetable matter in the world's deep ice...
