So years ago I told y'all that the only Star Wars film I saw was the last hour of Attack of the Clones so since today was May 4th I decided to watch Star Wars a new Hope on Disney +. I now know the context of all the tv shows and cartoons that referenced lines from this movie. I admit this movie starts off slow and I think the sound mixing is off in a couple parts, but once the party left off to the desert town with the bar the movie kept my attention consistently. For a movie in the 70s the cg is pretty good. I'm a bit disappointed with Darth Vader and the lack of lightsaber fights. I thought there would be a bunch of lightsaber fights and Darth Vader didn't seem that imposing or cool.

I also thought I was going to see that fight scene with Luke and Darth Vader fighting each other and telling him he's his father like I've seen parodied in every 90s cartoon. It was a fun film, but I was expecting more.
