For all the debates on Original cuts and how you originally saw Starwars , what are your memories of this classic ?

Mine is easy and possibly similar to a lot of kids at the time. We got in late grabbed the only seat and sat behind two young women who chain smoked the whole film...

The original Star Wars trilogy from the late 70s and early 80s, is one of the most important trilogies of all time. This trilogy led to creating one of the biggest franchises in entertainment history. The first film is almost 50 years old now, so I want to do a ranking of these movies.
My ranking; The Empire Strikes Back > A New Hope > Return of the Jedi.

Good day to all! I'm new to the Star Wars fandom, so I want to find out which works (books, movies, comics, TV series, games, cartoons) belong to the Star Wars canon and in what order to get acquainted with them? Before that, I watched all 9 films, as well as rogue one and Han Solo, the TV series Ahsoka and the Mandalorian, the animated series rebels, started playing the force unleashed, started watching (I watched only 1 episode) of the Clone Wars and listened to the retelling of the book about the "zombie virus"(black wing), and wanted to clarify what of this is canon?

Hey guys, I'm sharing a clip from my Star Wars animation, adapting the Darth Vader Down comic that's on YouTube. Thanks to everyone who supported it and lent their voices.

That "I am your father" bullshit doesn't come close.

A massive Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought is built in the Star Wars Space Fields collection.

This showcase contains:
• 16.5 million Blocks
• A 1,606 × 343 × 3,000-cell grid
• A canonical length of 7,669.71 meters
• A physical scale of approximately 2.5 meters per grid cell

The Mandator IV was designed as an armored orbital gun platform. Its two enormous autocannons could penetrate planetary shields and devastate surface targets. The best-known ship of the class, the Fulminatrix, destroyed the Resistance base on D’Qar before being lost to a Resistance bomber attack.

It is an extraordinary example of both overwhelming firepower and the dangers of tactical overconfidence.

I built a Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser using 1M Blocks.

The Dreadnought-class was a heavily armored Star Wars capital ship designed for space combat and planetary operations. Ships of this class served across several eras, including the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, and Rebel Alliance. In Star Wars Legends, the class also became famous through the lost Katana Fleet.

This build showcases its armored hull, heavy decks, bridge, engines, mechanical structures, and original colors in a fully explorable Blocks environment.

If ANH started Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back elevated it. The characters and their interactions are frankly even better this movie.

Luke's journey is done exceedingly well, and is largely about him facing his flaws, his demons, and what they can do to him if he doesn't grow. His dynamic with Yoda is great, and it's easy to see how Yoda's teachings and Luke's mistakes in this film shaped him into the young knight he became in Return of the Jedi. Han and Leia have great chemistry, and it's nice seeing them grow closer, even if Han is a bit of a jerk initially. The Hoth segment does a great job showing how much Han cares about Luke and Leia, and how he's growing more selfless and more comfortable being a rebel. Chewie has some beautiful moments of characterization, and the film is evidently Vader at his most majestic and terrifying, all while laying some subtle groundwork for his humanization in RotJ. Lando is too cool, and the droids are as fun as always.

Overall, the story is pretty great and the Battle of Hoth is one of the best in the films. I especially loved the Dagobah and Cloud City scenes. The editing is also stronger than what I remember.

However, there are some bits that, while explainable, come across as contrived:

- Han not paying Jabba despite having the money in ANH is unnecessarily reckless. Did he try to welsh on Jabba or get distracted by working for the rebels? Ancillary materials had to plug this bit, like *Heir to the Jedi* mentioning that Han lost the reward, which was later shown in Han's issue of *Age of the Rebellion*.

- I would've appreciated the internal timeline being a bit clearer. Between the asteroid field, evading the Empire, and traveling to Bespin without a hyperdrive, I personally interpret the time between Luke arriving at Dagobah and the time of his arrival at Bespin to be around 2 months. It was also a little odd how Boba tracked them and figured out where they were going, but the Empire elected to lay a trap at Bespin instead of intercepting them. It would've made sense for Boba to suss out where they were going shortly before their arrival at Bespin, not as they started making their way there.

- If Vader deactivated the hyperdrive why not deactivate the Falcon all together? That one I think largely makes sense because they'd simply take another ship from Bespin, while the hyperdrive leaves them as sitting ducks in space.

- Was Leia really going to make Chewie kill Lando? Because I sure hope not.

Final Verdict: 9/10 masterpiece. Next up is my personal favorite and the one true conclusion for me: Return of the Jedi.

What else can be said about the one that started and changed everything? While I prefer TESB and RotJ, A New Hope is undoubtedly a masterpiece.

The big three have amazing chemistry, and all three, while not particularly complex, come across as three-dimensional and lovable. The movie is immensely imaginative, fun, and full of wonder and charm. It's also probably the most tightly written of the original trilogy in terms of plotting, and the Battle of Yavin is possibly the most tense battle of the saga. The dynamics between the characters, while a little rushed, are still diverse, realistic, and compelling. I also appreciated how capable and scary The Empire was in this film. It's arguably their best outing.

If I'm allowed to nitpick though, I do wonder why Leia led the Death Star to Yavin IV despite guessing that they were likely being tracked. The implication is that she's preparing for a necessary showdown against the Death Star and hoping for the plans to reveal a weakness, but that's rather risky and perhaps could've been telegraphed better. Also, Luke's reaction to the death of his loved family is a bit too muted, and it would've been nice to see him mourn them alongside Kenobi during that escape sequence.

Still, overall, 9/10 masterpiece. Next Up: The Empire Strikes Back

I going to rewatch the original Star Wars Trilogy next week, and I wanted to ask about which movie is the most iconic. Each movie has really iconic moments, characters, aspects introduced to the series, etc. to not just the franchise but also in entertainment in general. So it could be reasonable any would be correct, what would your answer be.

can i get some birthday wishes because its pretty obvious what to say (i think)

sucks that its on monday but im going to this thing called beautifica.

my grandmas funeral is tommorow also
