Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope 5/24 @ 7PM ET

Luke, you need to set the VCR tracking on your macrobinoculars.

talosdaughter_2, “How old is Luke?”

Me, “19.”

talosdaughter_2, “And he can have a gun?”

Good girl.

talosdaughter_1, “It would be really weird if Princess Leia gave Luke true love’s first kiss to wake up.”

Even weirder if Ben did…:eyebrow:

talosdaughter_2, “Remember in the LEGO game cut scene when Luke cuts Threepio’s head off when he ignites the lightsaber for the first time. That was funny.”

talosdaughter_2, “Her father?”

Me, “Her father is Bail Organa.”

talosdaughter_2, “Oh right…her “father”. wink

“This station is the ultimate power in the universe.”

Yeah. Yeah. Quiver lips.

talosdaughter_2, “Never talk back to the boss.”

Commenting on the guy about to be choked by Vader.

“Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.”

That’s your first clue to Obi-wan’s validity, Luke.

talosdaughter_2, “So which is worse? Luke seeing Owen and Beru or Princess Leia watching her planet blow up?”

talosdaughter_2, “I have to go with planet.”

“You will never find a more, wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

Sure. Sure. College boy.

How fantastic is the Cantina scene?

Love it. Love it.

talosdaughter_2, “It’s a big universe.”

Me, “This scene captures that. Doesn’t it?”

talosdaughter_2, “Yeah.”

talosdaughter_2, “They go back to playing right after Ben cuts that guys arm off. Does that happen everyday?”

Han shoots first.

Move along. Move along.

Never trust a spy with a long trunk.

That’s what she said.

“What a piece a junk!?!”

And this coming from a guy in a poncho.

talosdaughter_2, “Is she lying or telling the truth?” -about Dantooniee

Me, “Lying.”

talosdaughter_2, “Wow.”

Alderaan explodes.

talosdaughter_2, “Bluff didn’t work.”

End of Reel 3. (Old lingo. Reel usually holds about 20 minutes of film)

Anyway, end of Reel 3 and we take a step into a larger world and enter the belly of the beast.

“If they identify us we’re in real trouble.”

Luke is so naive. The Empire just blew up a planet. I think everyone is in real trouble.

I’ve heard it said that Vader plays Tarkin’s lap dog in this one but I don’t agree.

Vader is on top of everything going on. I have no doubt he was placed here by the Emperor to keep an eye on Tarkin. Tarkin was going to make a play for the throne.
