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 wanted to throw in a few links to meta about A New Hope I accumulated over the years:

• An Annotated Guide to The Star Wars Portfolio by Ralph McQuarrie
• How an Antique Camera Flash Became the Most Iconic Star Wars Prop
• Star Wars: The man who designed the films' 'look' -- an interview with the art director Norman Reynolds
• Strange Tales: Star Wars at 40 -- a wonderful series of blog posts about the OT
• The Real Aerial Battles That Inspired Star Wars

Thanks for those! I didn't know about the lightsaber/camera flash.
