Hey guys,
It’s been quite a while since I updated the blog, but I wanted to post my live tweeting of the original Star Wars.
First off I wanna say that live tweeting a movie is not an easy task. Props to those who do it regularly. I hadn’t done it before and honestly it was kind of taxing. It takes longer than you realize as you start and the movie keeps on going while you’re typing.
I had to pause the movie a lot at first until I started getting the hang of things and so you can see towards the end I got a lot looser and also some of the tweets got a lot shorter.
The version of Star Wars I live tweeted was the original theatrical version. This is the first one from 1977 with no EPISODE IV A NEW HOPE title, just the logo to the opening crawl.
It was just something I did for fun. It’s long, but most of you know the movie by heart so I’m sure you can follow along no problem.
It’s not G-Rated, so prepare for some dirty words. Overall it’s just me gushing about the movie with my own commentary thrown in here and there relating to the characters & storyline.
This is in chronological order to make it easy to read since on Twitter you have to read it backwards from bottom to top.
Anyways, enjoy the read & feel free to follow me on Twitter @_allthestarwars and/or leave me a comment at the bottom of the page.
The mark that you’re watching a true original version of the film! #StarWarsLiveTweet pic.twitter.com/Y9TqKzQvnV

No "A NEW HOPE" or EPISODE IV title yet. We're going very old school here. #StarWarsLiveTweet
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
This crawl is the best one written. It encapsulates so much of what is going on in such a great way that you're instantly in that world with little to no effort. Good guys, bad guys, justice and pursuit! #StarWarsLiveTweet

The opening shot is one of the most classic of all time. The small Rebel ship later overshadowed by the MASSIVE IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER! If you look up "epic" in the dictionary you'll see a photo of this shot. #StarWarsLiveTweet
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
So here we meet C-3PO & R2-D2. Our first step in to a larger world.
OK that was corny, sorry. But it's interesting that this is our gateway in to #StarWars. It's genius really. And it inspired A LOT of filmmakers – as it was inspired from previous films of course. So cinematic.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
The threat of the Imperials is so present as you hear all those crazy sounds and then the doors blast open and the Stormtroopers just storm the ship firing! Right off the bat you're just given this whirlwind of fighting with laser guns & robots running around and then BOOM!
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#DARTHVADER walks in! Shit just gets real. Then we slow down to Leia recording her message. It is really a well edited film. John Williams music too is just so perfect for the mood. It just carries you through the whole thing and keeps you grounded emotionally. #StarWarsLiveTweet
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
Now our main intro to Vader is him choking & killing a guy with his bare hands. Yep, this is our bad guy. No doubt in my mind. #StarWarsLiveTweet
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
Jump back to the Princess. She's a fighter. From the start Leia is all rebel. It's awesome. I always had a crush on her for sure. Growing up she was, in my young mind, the perfect woman. Strong, tough, honest, but still caring, loving & endearing. Oh and she's gorgeous! #StarWars pic.twitter.com/aQvVPxNEG7
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
The visual F/X in this movie still hold up really well. They don't try to do stuff that's too crazy. There is a lot of implication in the shots – but there's definitely enough f/x shots to sell it big-time! Groundbreaking of course, especially for the mid 70's!#StarWarsLiveTweet
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#DarthVader VS #PrincessLeia
This scene has the best dialogue. Carrie Fisher is so invested in her character that you can't help but be all in at this point.
Then Vader's response "Leave that to me."
He's so saucy in this film. No nonsense. Cavalier even. #StarWarsLiveTweet— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Another iconic scene. R2 & 3PO walking across the desert from the escape pod. It's such a jarring transition from the spaceships. Desolation. It's really such a beautiful film. These two are also the best duo. Like an old married couple. And then we're off!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
I always thought the dinosaur skeleton that 3PO comes across was a Krayt Dragon. I don't know if it is or not – I'm sure there's a comic or book that explains it or tells the story of this creature. I have no idea. I just think it's a Krayt Dragon.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And then you get introduced to the Jawas. Alien creatures. Mysterious. Mischievous. And our hero is blasted & carried away.
George Lucas did such a good job of painting this tapestry of a Universe. It's really well done.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
The "lived in" look is what really makes Star Wars feel real. It gives it enough of a visceral experience that it lends itself to feeling like this place really exists – or could exist. From the clothing to the ships to the buildings.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
This menagerie of droids is great too. It's like every scene you see something you've never seen before. It's pretty amazing. And then our heroes re-unite! It's classic storytelling & it flows seamlessly.
OK I'm gushing, but god damn I love this movie.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And then John Williams comes in again to remind you that, "Hey mother fucker, I'm still here!" lol
Seriously though, his score for this is one of the best he's ever done.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And now we are introduced to our main hero. #LukeSkywalker
His first words?
"Doesn't look like we have much of a choice, but I'll remind him."
This is the person we identify with. This is our guy.
🙂@HamillHimself— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Uncle Owen is so no-nonsense. He's knows a bargain when he sees one.
"Shutting up, sir."— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Luke is us. We don't get to go play with our friends because we've gotta do chores. As a kid we were locked in to Luke's character. Holy crap, he's just like us! LOL
But Mark Hamill plays it off so naturally you can't help but feel Luke's pain.@HamillHimself— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
BIGGS! I don't remember how I knew, but as a kid I had seen photos or read about the deleted scene with Biggs. I always felt like I had insider knowledge knowing about Biggs when a lot of other people had no clue other than him being at the end of the movie.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE! Luke sees Leia's message and he's instantly infatuated. Wouldn't you be? What better way to motivate our young hero than with his libido! But in the end it's not his sex drive that pushes him but the loss of his family.@HamillHimself— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Mark Hamill's portrayal of Luke is so spot on. I just love the way he delivers his dialogue. It's so natural and emotional. A testament to Hamill's acting even at such a young age.@HamillHimself pic.twitter.com/gtMCp5t2ZG— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"He knew my father?!"
This scene is very subtle but impactful. Beru's looks to Owen are perfect.
"He has too much of this father in him."
"That's what I'm afraid of!"
BOOM! pic.twitter.com/FA3e8uNSvs— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And of course the most iconic #StarWars image ever put to film. #LukeSkywalker yearning for more. Seeking adventure and excitement beyond the rock he currently resides.
The swell of the music & the changing light – it's beautiful.@HamillHimself— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
I really feel like this is where Luke & 3PO bond. Their search for R2 unites them in a way that makes them friends.
And I think Luke gets an inkling of what a pain in the ass R2 can be.@HamillHimself pic.twitter.com/ZWqOih6Yhd— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Enter: Tusken Raiders.
These guys are scary and cool at the same time. Not something you'd want to meet down a dark alley. The costumes are perfect. Nomadic desert scavengers. Are they humans? Aliens? Something else? I enjoy the mysteries #StarWars creates.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet And then Ben Kenobi makes his Krayt Dragon call which makes the Sand People run away. I know I read that in a book. Either the novelization or the storybook.
And then we see him pull his hood back and OMG! It's BEN KENOBI!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
I really love Sir Alec Guinness as Ben Kenobi. You want the guy as your grandpa! And again, @HamillHimself flows through the dialogue with ease.
And we get this little bit of backstory & Ben's comment,
"Oh he's not dead. Not yet."
And then he drops knowledge.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Sand People are easily startled.
They'll be back in greater numbers.
I catalogued this stuff as a kid in my brain. Kept track of these useless facts.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And now we learn about Anakin Skywalker. When I watch this movie I don't even think about the prequels. I'm instantly transported back to being a kid & the thoughts I had when I first heard the stories of Ben & Anakin.
"Before the Dark Times…" LOVE IT!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And then Ben's lie. I love that they made Vader Luke's father, but it totally kills this great story Ben tells Luke about how Vader betrays and murders his father. It's dark. Almost darker than him being Luke's father.
And the lightsaber. pic.twitter.com/1hHYsby0Af— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Ben is pretty non-chalant about handing Luke such a dangerous weapon. Luke swings it around like it ain't no thang.
"Oh this? Yeah I got a stick at home I swing around. It's cool. I got this!"
LOL he just acts more fascinated than anything. @HamillHimself— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And then we watch Leia's full message. More backstory revealed (you served my father in the Clone Wars) & one of my favorite Ben lines:
"I'm getting too old for this sort of thing."
And then reality sets in and Luke's like, "I can't help you, sorry."— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
MEANWHILE ON THE DEATH STAR:
Nothing like a room full of bad guys to set the tone. Some great shots in this scene too.
And then Tarkin & Vader just stroll in like bad asses. Vader in his black robes. We learn that Vader takes orders from Tarkin.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
How much of a bad ass do you have to be to give orders to #DarthVader?!And the speech about "your sad devotion to that ancient religion" is brilliant. And then Vader just owns him.
The Imperials are some bad mofos!
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Burning dead Jawas. Such a somber scene. And the music totally sets the mood. And we learn more about the Sand People!
Sand People ride single file to hide their numbers.
Got it!
In case I ever get lost in the Jundland Wastes I'll be set!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Next we have one of the darkest moments in all of #StarWars.
Luke drives up to his burning homestead only to discover the charred remains of his Aunt & Uncle – the only family he has ever known.
Talk about fucking dark!
It's the catalyst though!@HamillHimself— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Back to the Princess. She's getting tortured we learn. And it's just enough to keep her story going. The pacing in this film is done so well it's brilliant!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Luke's moment where he tells Ben "there's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father."
GOOSEBUMPS!! haha seriously that shit is delivered so effortlessly and full of emotion. Damn.@HamillHimself— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
"Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious."
translated: get ready for some shit to go down!
— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Now we see Ben's use of the Force. It's benign but effective.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"I'm ready for anything!"
I never liked that line honestly. I think they should have cut it when Ben said "This place can be a little rough!" *cue cantina music*— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Take the droid scene in the Jawa's sandcrawler & crank it up to 11! We have a true menagerie of aliens, characters & creatures like we've never seen before!
I'm unclear about some of George's later changes w/ aliens in this scene, but I like all the originals.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"He doesn't like you!"
I can't watch this scene without thinking about #RobotChicken now – but it's still a great scene. Never understood why a lightsaber wouldn't cauterize the wound, but hey, what do I know about alien blood!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon."
This entire exchange between Ben & Han is awesome. You get a complete vibe of who Han is as a character and the second reference to Luke being a good pilot. #foreshadowing (kinda)— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
I always chuckled as a kid when Luke said "I'm never coming back to this planet again!" after seeing Return of the Jedi.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Greedo's a punk. But man, you threaten to kill Han Solo you'd better believe there are consequences.
"Yes, I'll bet you have!"
And Han fires. Nobody else does.
"Sorry about the mess…"— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Tarkin you are such a devious bastard.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
C-3PO just rips in to R2. R2 had to have done some bad shit to him in the past. 3PO just hates him it seems like – until the end and he's offering to donate parts to save him.
Total old school married couple.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"What a piece of junk!"
Something about the Millennium Falcon just screams sexy to me. I love the ship design & everything about it. From the name to the mandibles to the engine whine – it's gorgeous!
But Luke has to play it off, I know. Deep down he's jealous.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"Stop that ship! Blast 'em!"
All hell breaks loose and I think it's in this moment that Han realizes he's probably gotten in over his head. But fear not, cuz Solo is on the case!
Check out his maneuvers!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
I don't think it's ever taken this long to jump to hyperspace throughout the entire Saga.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And now Tarkin reveals what a true piece of shit he really is.
But Leia isn't worried. She throws insults at him like he's a waiter at a restaurant.
But Tarkin's resolve does not waiver. He gets the info he wants and still blows up her homeworld.
Savage.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Ben feels a great disturbance in the Force. Luke trains and Han quips.
It's a nice breather as we take a minute to gather our thoughts on everything that's transpired.
The hologram chess set looks great even by today's standards. It fits.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Han expresses his attitude towards hokey religions and ancient weapons and then after his back and forth with Ben drops his own knowledge:
"Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living? That's something else."— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"You've taken your first step in to a larger world."
Great dialogue.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"Terminate her! Immediately!"
Tarkin is PISSED! Luckily Vader talks some sense in to him.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Harrison Ford delivers this dialogue with real authenticity. I really believe that the acting is 70% of what sells this movie.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

"That's no moon, it's a space station!"
Shit just got real, son!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
I like how Han has to tell Chewie TWICE to lock in the auxiliary power. Do you think maybe Chewie's hesitation is what let them be caught in the tractor beam? Hmm?— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Cue Joe Johnston Space Troopers!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

Beautiful landing shot of the Falcon as it comes in for a landing. The model is just gorgeous. The F/X really shine in this scene.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Surprise! Hiding under the floor!! Great scene.
I love Ben's line, "Who's the more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?"— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
The background PA voice lends a lot of authenticity to these hangar shots too. It feels very industrial and like it's a living, breathing system.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Those poor scanning crew guys. I wonder if they just shoved them in the floor compartments and totally forgot about them.
I could see Chewie a couple weeks later freaking out about the smell and Han going, "I don't smell anything!"— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
And we get our first delivery of the line: "The Force will be with you. Always."— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
I love the exchange between Luke & Han in this scene. Luke sounds crazy. Han's like WTF is wrong with YOU?! WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
Then Luke plays in to his greed and it's like, "You better be right about this." Han is so quick to run in to danger for $.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
The Mouse Droid & Chewie exchange is a great example of Star Wars humor. It's subtle but effective. It's not overly corny or out of place, it's fit within the context of the situation and plays very well.
That's all I'm going to say about that.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
I always liked how the doors open behind them when they're in the elevator and they turn around all confused. It's a nice little touch that adds a lot to the realness of the movie.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

Han's entire conversation over the intercom is one of the greatest moments in #StarWars history. Harrison Ford does such a phenomenal job playing that off.
"We're fine, we're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?" *wince*— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

My first memory as a kid is Luke running in, taking off his helmet and proclaiming, "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!" on a TV commercial.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
More backstory and exposition on the Jedi. And then Vader's sudden obsession with Obi-Wan. "Escape is not his plan! I must face him, alone!"
Tarkin's like, "yeah, whatever bro – do what you need to do."— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Leia's exchange with Han is great.
"He's the brains, sweetheart!"
She just grabs Luke's gun and blows a hole in the grate.
"Somebody has to save our skins!"
Take charge woman! I like that!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"What an incredible smell you've discovered!"
This scene is another iconic one that has a specific aesthetic to it. It feels very claustrophobic, especially when the walls start moving in.
Not to mention the Dianoga (a name I only know because I'm a nerd).— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
One of my favorite moments is when Threepio is on the intercom w/ Luke & R2 is able to stop the walls from crushing them & they're yelling with joy & 3PO says, "Listen to them, they're dying R2! Curse my metal body I wasn't fast enough!"
Such a great line!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Sneaky Obi-Wan is sneaky.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

Leia shines in this scene where she realizes she's been rescued by 2 idiots and their dog. Han suddenly realizes out of everything that's happened to them this might the worst of it:
"No reward is worth this."— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
The Stormtrooper conversation in this scene is awesome. It's the little moments like this that give #StarWars its heart and soul. It feels like a living Universe.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

That's what she said!— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

Han chasing the Stormtroopers and then running them in to a dead end always made me laugh as a kid. I still chuckle. It's fun.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Luke & Leia end up in quite a pickle. Luckily Luke finds a grappling hook in his belt.
Oh whatever, it works.
Then the kiss!! "For luck!"
That's not what Luke thought. I bet he felt like a hero right then and there!
Pirate swing & scene!@HamillHimself— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
More backstory between Vader & Kenobi. I really don't like the prequels for messing all this up. Always noticed Ben's saber was a little "flimsy" in this scene. I'm sure it's just the angle it was shot at, but as a kid I thought it was because of weak powers.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

And once again Luke loses someone he cares about. This kid is having a bad day.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018

#StarWarsLiveTweet
Then Luke is moping about Ben while Leia (who recently lost her entire family AND HOMEWORLD) is comforting him.
She's awesome. Setting aside her own grief to console this stranger who just rescued her. It's what makes her a great leader! 😉— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
Space battle!! Love the Tie Fighter shots in this sequence. The pacing of this scene is great too. Lucas pulled footage to make a blueprint for them to go off of and it really sells it.
And you might think, only 4 Tie Fighters? But then Leia explains….— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
#StarWarsLiveTweet
"Easy? You call that easy?!"

The F/X with the X-Wings flying towards the Death Star are amazing. They're not perfect, but they fit the aesthetic of the film & it works. It doesn't feel out of place at all.

And we keep seeing Biggs who we heard about in passing previously. By the end of the movie I think we all realized Biggs was Luke's friend from Tatooine. Cutting Biggs' scenes was necessary, but it did confuse the Biggs storyline a bit at first.— Star Wars (@_allthestarwars) March 31, 2018
