Star Wars Episode IV (1977) rewatch * FULL LENGTH REACTION
🕑 Added 2025-06-08 15:00:11 +0000 UTCHOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT CHEWIE?!
There are so many things that I appreciate so much more about this film and George Lucas' Star Wars universe. I am amazed at the dedication of the creative team in the entirety of the Star Wars franchise at the research and attention to detail to the world.
Also, there are quite a few scenes that Lucas changed over time, which is very interesting.
The Rebellion is so much more impressive and I have such a different appreciation for it now.
I had completely forgotten about Tarkin being on the Death Star, so that was insanely satisfying to see 😈
For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie. You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again

Hahaha the fuzzy slippers is amazing!! Way to make it harder on your co-stars though 🤣 I'm glad to hear that he was good friends with Christopher Lee, and I'm hoping to see him in more roles

He portrayed Tarkin so well... I hope to not recognize him in other movies so I don't instantly dislike him 🤣

That was a ton of fun. It's been ages since I last watched the despecialized version.

I've always thought that Peter Cushing's portrayal of Tarkin was one of the best things in this movie. He always did such great characters, particularly costarring with Christopher Lee in the Dracula, Frankenstein, and Mummy films by Hammer Films, as well as the best version of Sherlock Holmes. I remember reading that he was such a nice and pleasant guy that Carrie Fisher found it difficult to be so mean to him in her scenes.

Peter Cushing is a great actor with a storied career. His role in the old Hammer Horror movies with Christopher Lee, a good friend of his, are legendary. Peter found the boots that went with his uniform extremely uncomfortable so he asked and was given permission to wear fuzzy slippers on set, this is why there is no wide shots of him. Carrie had difficulty acting like she hated him because he was so charming and that he was wearing fuzzy slippers which she found hilarious. You might notice the Leia speaks with an English accent when she is speaking to Tarkin, this is because it was early in the shooting and she was unsure of how Lucas wanted to do the scene and she was nervous, while the rest of the film she speaks with her normal accent. They have actually given an in universe reason for this in one of the novels. In 2016 novel “Bloodline”, it is revealed that she is mocking him by copying his accent.
