Chat corner 30: A New Hope

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week’s topic, should you accept it, is “Star Wars: A New Hope”. The very beginning of everything!

Have you seen it? (I think it’s perfectly possible to be a SW fan without seeing the OT, for the record!) Was it your first SW? What made you watch it? How old were you?

…did you like it? Do you like it now, if your first watch was a long time ago?

I’ve seen it several times now but the first time I ever saw it was back in 1999 when I was 9 years old.
To celebrate the upcoming release of the new Star Wars film “The Phantom Menace“ all three classic Star Wars episodes were shown over 3 weekends on cable TV.
I decided to watch it because I was interested in seeing the new movie but hadn’t seen the older ones yet.
Instantly I was drawn into the story and excitedly waited each weekend to see what new adventures Luke and his friends would have. Whilst ESB is my favourite of all the films (typical choice I know) I wouldn’t have become a lifetime Star Wars fan without starting my journey here. The last time I watched ANH was actually on a plane to Japan in 2017, I wasn’t feeling well because of the prior turbulence so needed something easy and familiar to watch. It might be time for a rewatch this Christmas Holidays!

That's actually an interesting watch order! I saw OT because of Ep I as well, but only after I've seen the movie.
