Man. That had to have been the last time Harrison was that outwardly passionate about anything!

They dont make em like they used to. Movies, yea, sure, but trailers.

Now they are 5 minutes long and give away the entire movie.

This was on cable TV a lot this weekend so I watched portions of it.

I think what the OT gets right is a real attention to details. There's a guy in an X-Wing who like gets shot at, not shot down, but it must cause him to bleed because they show the partially blooded face. I just felt like that was so human. I can't recall if the new movies ever feature blood or bleeding?

It was jarring to see blood in star wars, it was more raw back then.

Why is C3PO programmed to feel pain? R2D2 burns him when welding him together.

"We're going to give these droids sentience and personality disorders, and then enslave them to do our bidding."

"What good is that if we can't hurt them too?"

"Ha ha! Fixed!"
