Are trolls the same as vampires, or do the psychic wars not exist?
Vampires have simplified coding that may breach, infiltrate, and steal from ones soul, whereas trolls are simply stabbing into the hole. Remember that, kids!

"Luke let go, trust your instincts!"
"WAT?"
"Sorry wrong number."
Not many people know how wide 2 meters is…
I figure the two X-Wings that survived are Luke and Wedge, but does anyone know what the deal is with the one Y-Wing that survived?
2:17 Me on my wedding night
6:11 cant believe Lucas included a reference to Wat Tambor!!!
Han showing up is the best part. "Let's blow this thing kid and go home. "
The force helped luke kill tens of thousands of people including prisoners, wives and kindergarten kids
I saw this in 1977 when I was 9 – when Han swoops in just in time to save Luke, the crowd went bananas – that was our generation's "Captain America grabs Thor's hammer" moment.
The first and still the best 🙌
To this very day, give me goosebumps…still such a very powerful scene in all of cinema
Shout out to John Williams, greatest composer since Beethoven. A century from now people will be studying him as one of the all time greats.
This was paralleled in The Phantom Menace with the destruction of the Control Ship.
I wonder if Tarkin survived it!
As an 8 year old watching this in 1977, no movie since has shaped my life for engaging and being apart of something bigger than yourself. Spectacular film .
Sound doesn't travel through space. Just saying.
I'm pretty sure that if Darth Vader already knew in this episode that one of the pilots he was chasing was his son Luke, he wouldn't have tried to attack him; things would have been different.
Tarkin is killed by the weapon he loved
Funny, I always thought the explosion was too fast for how large and massive the Death Star is/was.
Well done bruh!❤
I’m here for Han Solo’s epic line of “You’re all clear kid, now let’s blow this thing and go home”. Talk about a supportive friend.
Now imagine Chewbacca’s response, probably along the lines of “Rrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!”
Vader is so good in this whole sequence.
It's a battle station the size of a small moon, and they send 3 little ships to fight the rebels?
So 10 million of their personnel are on vaction?
I remember in 1977, when the death star exploded, the audience sprang to its feet and cheered at the tops of their lungs
i have done is in universe memory forever
The original pirates of the kessel run
I didnt know star wars had death stars……. Ok i did but whatever i didnt know it exactly had death stars
Interesting little detail: Han says “great shot kid that was one in a million” basically saying it was luck and then obi wan is there to tell Luke that it was not luck but the force
There's a lot about this whole sequence that's really unique to this film only. Never again would a single space battle be the climax of a Star War. Individual dogfights turned into massive battles with hundreds of fighters. Here when the X-Wings make a slight bank the engines roar. In the next film the Falcon is casually zipping through asteroids. The military jargon goes away. There's long periods of time here where John Williams is completely absent. When he does appear, he gives these long tense buildups like 3:50 getting our hearts racing until the Force theme comes in and gives release.
For the most part you're watching normal people take on the largest Empire. The Rebels have no Jedi masters, no 10-year old prodigies, no Resistance flying aces. They get picked off one by one and each death is focused on just to make you feel how much lower the chance of success is with each loss. Luke finally using the Force is the climax of the entire movie and not a superpower we're just used to everyone having.
Frankly Dunkirk is closer to this than even Return of the Jedi. And I love that almost 50 years later and billions into this universe this still feels special (even if it is only Dambusters in Space).
5:00 😊
Am I the only one who spotted a dozen “that’s what she said “ moments in this battle?
Luke calling for biggs and wedge to form up and start their run, having just seen 6 far more experienced pilots get shot down lile they were nothing and now knowing that the targeting computer cant guarantee the shot. Knowing theyre the last slim hope the rebellion has, switching up their tactics for speed instead of shielding, Luke ordering Wedge to bug out because he knows that if it all fails at least one of his wing will hopefully make it out alive and then the tragic loss of his best friend in Biggs and his newfound companion in R2 leaving him alone in the wolves den. Pure and perfect cinema.
6:12. Audiences Cheered when Han Solo took out one of the T.I.E Fighters. GO HAN SOLO AND CHEWBACCA!!!!✊✊✊✊
6:14 "oh shit I better save Darth Vader, lemme crash into his ship and send him flying"
Star Wars is a masterpiece of a film!! I don't believe anything will ever rival this in motion picture for it's powerful moral story and special effects, especially the music !!
5:08 is so full circle – Anakin, the possibly best pilot of all time, not being able to hit one target – his son
In memory of Porkins 😢.
why wilhuff tarkin stay on death star, instead survive explosion.
Don't know who needs to hear this, but God loves you so much and he is so good! Have a wonderful day everyone! God bless!
