A New Hope	comment	Due to the sheer volume of spoilers, all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!It is a period of civil war. Rebelspaceships, striking from a hiddenbase, have won their first victoryagainst the evil Galactic Empire.During the battle, Rebel spies managedto steal secret plans to the Empire'sultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, anarmored space station with enoughpower to destroy an entire planet.Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents,Princess Leia races home aboard herstarship, custodian of the stolen plansthat can save her people and restorefreedom to the galaxy....Star Wars (later retitled Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope) is a Space Opera film that marks the first chapter of the Star Wars saga and the beginning of the franchise, as well as the start of its enduring phenomenon in pop culture. It was written and directed by George Lucas, and released on May 25, 1977.A New Hope tells the story of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), a young Farm Boy on a desert planet at the far edge of the tyrannical Galactic Empire. Luke's quiet life is turned upside down when his family purchases a pair of used droids named R2-D2 and C-3PO (Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels), who are secretly carrying classified Imperial documents: the schematics for a planet-destroying Doomsday Device known as "the Death Star".With the aid of a wise, mystical hermit named Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) and a rakish smuggler named Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Luke sets out to rescue the droids' owner, the captive rebel princess Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), and deliver the documents to the Rebellion before the Empire can unleash the Death Star on the galaxy and crush the fledgling revolution.The film also features Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca, Han Solo's beastly alien partner; Peter Cushing as Governor Tarkin, commander of the aforementioned Death Star; and David Prowse as Darth Vader, the Empire's sinister top enforcer, with voice dubbed by James Earl Jones.The film is chronologically preceded by Revenge of the Sith and followed by The Empire Strikes Back. Other films and shows such as Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars Rebels, Andor and Rogue One take place in the period between Revenge of the Sith and this film within the current canon, in addition to many other kinds of works in both the new expanded universe as well as the old Star Wars Legends canon.

A New Hope / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: Obi-Wan Kenobi hands a Luke a weapon without first explaining how it works. A weapon that will instantly kill or maim you and/or anything and everything else in the room if you even slightly mishandle it. Luke immediately points it at his own face and stares down the business end. And an instant later ignites the thing, very nearly putting it through both his and Obi-Wan's head. Later, Obi-Wan has Luke being shot at by a little droid (which makes Luke flinch in pain every time he is hit) then intentionally puts a blinding face mask on him, even though Luke is only standing a couple feet away from Chewie while holding a plasma sword of death.

A New Hope / int_101500e	type	Beneath Notice
A New Hope / int_101500e	comment	Beneath Notice: Droids are analogous to slaves. They are bought and sold as property, and almost nobody recognizes them as individuals with rights. Heroic droid R2-D2 turns this to his advantage, as it saves it and Threepio as they escape Leia's ship at the beginning of this movie. An Imperial Gunner is about to destroy their escape pod, but holds his fire when a scan reveals there are no life forms aboard. Surely this Imperial is aware of droids, but considers them no threat. Later, Artoo and Threepio can walk the corridors of the Death Star with no disguise; to the imperial troops, the droids might as well be furniture.

A New Hope / int_105ee3d1	comment	Odango Hair: Leia's hairstyles are a cultural touchstone that intentionally refer to this trope. Unlike this trope, they're all completely impossible. Hair narrows toward the tip due to wear and tear as it ages, so it starts out physically impossible because of how thick her cinnamon buns and braids remain along their length. Then there's the fact that you just. can't. do. cinnamon buns. Nevertheless, everyone knows Leia's updo.

A New Hope / int_11ec1fd5	type	Off-the-Shelf FX
A New Hope / int_11ec1fd5	comment	Off-the-Shelf FX: The film had so many production problems, that many corners were cut to make the props and effects. The results made Star Wars one of the tentpole films for how kitbashing can be used to effectively add visual depth; All of the ships and the surface of the Death Star were made by kitbashing numerous model kits together to give a feeling of detail and grit the film's Used Future tone warranted. For example, the gap between the upper and lower shells of the Millennium Falcon is filled with the undersides of various trucks. This page gives a good idea towards the specifics of how kitbashing (greebling) was done regarding Star Wars props. The blasters in the film are real firearms (or models/props thereof) decorated with model part kits and whatnot, both for ease of editing (adding the energy bolts to the scenes, timed with the effects of the blank cartridges) and so the blasters actually looked like real weapons. Another reason was simple cost and supply. Even by the mid-1970s when the first movie was filmed, WWII-era weapons were still common and easily procured. Even more so, there were tons and tons of realistic plastic props of WWII weapons (particularly Nazi weapons) left over from '60s-era films or contemporary films (such as The Great Escape and The Dirty Dozen). This is why a vast majority of the weapons in the Star Wars universe are modeled closely after German firearms, even down to those used by the heroes such as Han's iconic blaster (modeled after a Mauser pistol). The most iconic Imperial weapon is modeled after a British firearm of the '60s and '70s, the Sterling sub-machine gun, likely as a result of needing large numbers of actually functioning weapons as described previously. It just so happened that at the time A New Hope was being filmed, the British Army was getting rid of most of its stock of Sterlings because sub-machine guns were falling out of favor as infantry weapons, and the rest is history. Also, using "previous generation" weapons added to the Used Future feel of the series. The Lightsabers are built out of the tubes which hold flashbulbs from old cameras. In the faraway shots of Luke's landspeeder in the pre-Special Edition cuts, "Luke" and "Obi-Wan" were actually dolls from The Six Million Dollar Man. In the pre-1997 Star Wars Cantina scene, there is a wolf-like Shistavanen named Lak Sivrak, whose face is quite obviously a Halloween mask from a store. Sivrak was replaced with Ketwol, a member of the elephant-like Pacithhip species, for the Special Edition and subsequent cuts of the film. Mark Hamill revealed that Luke's pants are actually just a pair of Levi's 501 button-fly jeans "bleached to within an inch of their life", with the belt loops and back pockets removed.

A New Hope / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The ending scene for A New Hope. Don't even get us started on Triumph of the Will! Which, of course, has become rather memetic, given who the Empire is patterned after... and then that award ceremony happens. Whoops!note Really, it more comes down to the fact that the Nazis were absolute masters of military showmanship in general, and there being only so many ways to show a large, impressive award ceremony cinematically. There's nothing sinister about the ceremony at all, but the resemblance does often elicit chuckles from those in the know. Luke in the final sequence of the film being a military pilot sent on a mission to destroy enemy territory by flying past the defenses, dropping a payload resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, having to escape from the blast he created and receiving a medal almost immediately after his return. It mirrors to some extent the flight of the Enola Gay and the Bockscar — the US Army Air Force's aeroplanes which were sent to drop the atomic bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the final year of WWII. A controversial mission resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians which some believe to be either a necessary evil or plain terrorism. Though regardless of your stance, and to be fair to Luke Skywalker and the other Rebel Pilots, the Death Star was mostly populated with more service members than civilians workers (who were still culpable by serving on the Empire's genocide machine) and had more in common with a Naval Aircraft carrier than a civilian metropolis and posed a immediate threat. Some fans from a moralistic standpoint consider the destruction of Alderaan by the Empire to have more in common with the WWII bombings.

A New Hope / int_1d3c92da	type	Failsafe Failure
A New Hope / int_1d3c92da	comment	Failsafe Failure: Including one of the most famous in all media: The Death Star, a battle station the size of a small moon, can be completely destroyed by a small fighter firing a couple of torpedoes down a thermal exhaust shaft that leads directly to the main reactor. Imperial designers apparently recognized the problem to the extent of ray shielding the shaft to protect it from blaster fire, but for some reason cannot stop projectiles. (Of course, the Empire can be forgiven for this, since you would have to be some kind of space wizard who is also a fighter pilot to actually hit a target that small.) The film Rogue One addresses the weakness as being purposefully put in by the Death Star's unwilling designer in order to specifically give it a glaring weakness for the Rebels to use, although given that almost the entire Rebel attack force perish in the assault and the Death Star is ultimately only destroyed right at the last second, how "glaring" it ended up being is debatable. Basically all the doors on the Death Star. If you shoot out the control panels for them on one side, the controls on the other side no longer work either. This proves to be both a feature and a bug for Luke and Leia during their escape. Further demonstrating the Death Star's shoddy design, the tractor beam system has seven separate power junctions feeding it. This is apparently not for backup and failsafe purposes, as the disconnection of any one of the junctions will disable the entire system.

The 1980 sequel, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, featured an episode number and subtitle in the opening crawl as part of its Genre Throwback nature to give the impression of a long running film serial. When the original film was re-released in 1981, Episode IV: A New Hope was added above the original opening crawl.

A New Hope / int_222969af	comment	All There in the Script: In the shooting script, right after Han makes his comment about the Kessel Run, the stage directions explicitly call for Obi-Wan to give Han an incredulous stare, implying he's pulling the tale out of his ass to impress some rubes. So the forty-year-old debate over "parsecs" is utterly meaningless, as the line was wrong on purpose. Rewatching the scene with this in mind, Sir Alec Guinness does indeed give Han an incredulous stare but—in a rarity for a Star Wars films—the acting was so subtle that nobody noticed it.

A New Hope / int_27d00b28	comment	Same Content, Different Rating: This trope may very well be at the heart of the "Han shot first" controversy surrounding the Special Edition. The scene when Han shoots Greedo after being threatened flew under the censors' radar back in 1977, but could've bumped the rating up two decades later after the PG-13 rating was created. Thus, some people speculate that this is why the scene was edited so that Greedo shot first. This is especially hilarious because the film was almost rated "G" back in 1977, despite featuring charred corpses, a bloody severed arm, multiple violent deaths, genocide, and a "heroic" character who starts out as a Jerkass smuggler. The BBFC classified the UK release of all three original trilogy films U.

In essence, Tarkin and the Empire shot themselves in the foot by enabling neutral worlds to jump to the Rebels' cause. The Stormtroopers slaughtering the Jawas and then killing Owen and Beru. The film doesn't give any explanation for the massacres (especially since, unlike the Rebels from the opening, they're all basically no threat to the Empire), and makes it come off as the Empire just being incredibly ruthless. On the Tantive IV we see several rebel soldiers surrendering and being walked offscreen by stormtroopers. As the Imperial forces prepare to leave, we hear Darth Vader tell his lieutenant to report that no one survived, implying they murdered all the soldiers even though they surrendered.

A New Hope / int_369a1bf6	comment	Death Faked for You: Stormtrooper officer Daine Jir warns Darth Vader that arresting Leia, an Imperial senator, is politically dangerous because the Imperial Senate in theory still has some power. Vader orders him to cover it up by faking a Distress Signal and then a report that the ship was destroyed with all hands (ancillary materials state they then ejected the ship and blew it up in case somebody came looking for the debris), though this is all rendered moot less than a week later when Emperor Palpatine dissolves the Senate entirely.

As the Tantive IV comes under attack C-3PO says "They'll be no escape for the princess this time." We find out in Rogue One that the Princess had, in fact, just had the narrowest of escapes. Vader comments early on that there will be "no-one to stop us this time." This was probably when the Rebels stole the plans in the first place, which would be depicted thirty-nine years later in Rogue One.

First, it gives the setting as "A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far Far Away...", establishing this as a modern-day fairy tale in space. Next, it introduces the plot via an Opening Scroll as an homage to the Flash Gordon serials of the 1930's, complete with a bombastic opening theme. Then, just seconds later, we get that famous tracking shot of the underside of an Imperial Star Destroyer, showing off every lovingly crafted inch of the thingâ€”and showing that, unlike Flash Gordon, this was a big-budget Epic Film in a painstakingly detailed fictional world. Moviegoers in 1977 had never seen a science-fiction film with production values that high, but that tracking shot gave them a taste of the spectacle that awaited them.

If Tarkin had decided to evacuate the Death Star he probably would have survived, but he assumed that no one could actually pull off the kill shot. He never quite fights Darth Vader in this movie, either, despite Vader being the major villain of the series. He and Vader see each other briefly on the Death Star, but Luke is too busy escaping and Vader is too far away to do much. They do confront each other in star fighters, but Luke is focused on making his trench run and doesn't actively fight back. Han Solo is the one who defeats Vader, and he does it indirectly — by scaring one of Vader's wingmen into colliding with him.

Its only weakness is a single, wee tiny auxiliary exhaust port that was (according to Rogue One, deliberately because its lead designer was horrified at his work being used for evil; according to Death Star, accidentally because it was built by angry slaves working on cockeyed plans) built in a straight line to its main power plant, which allows a single Space Fighter to blow it up with the kind of ordinance meant for other starfighters — if they can A) find it,B) get there without being shot down by defense guns or fighter squads, and C) actually hit it.

The novelization also features a few unusual for the series graphic descriptions of gore and violence during some of the battles.

Demonstrated when Tarkin threatens to destroy Princess Leia's home planet of Alderaan if she doesn't give him the location of the Rebel base... and then blows it up anyway to prove to every other planet that he can carry the threat out. And (by blowing up Alderaan instead of the remote Dantooine that Leia had claimed was the location of the Rebel base) proving not only that he can blow up a planet, but that he will blow up any planet, even the "important" ones among the Core Worlds. Then it backfires when the Rebels blow up said Death Star, meaning everyone knows that the Empire will blow up any planet and currently has no way of doing so.

Vader may well have provoked Motti's outburst by so belittling the Death Star, the focus of all the assembled officers' efforts and hopes for presumably months, in comparison to the Force, but given what we've seen of it in the franchise since then, he has a point. Motti had to know he was tempting fate to say something like "your sad devotion to that ancient religion" to Vader's face, and indeed it took Tarkin's intervention to save his life, but the Force can't keep anyone in the room from agreeing that for all Vader's mastery of it the Empire is still no closer to finding the rebel base or recovering the Death Star plans. Leia seems almost petulant about being rescued, but given that Han and Luke admit that they don't really have much of a plan and the odds are overwhelmingly against them succeeding, can you blame her?

The Star Wars Lore clearly establishes that droids are very common and perform a wide variety of significant tasks. As such, it is mind-boggling that a senior Imperial officer wouldn't consider the possibility that the pod might have droids onboard that might be important to the rebels. Though he does immediately tell Vader about this. Leia deduces that the Falcon is being tracked by the Empire, but instead of taking precautions (for instance, making a rendezvous with an Alliance ship in deep space), she travels straight to Yavin IV, leading the Death Star right to its target. Even if Admiral Motti genuinely thought that Vader was making up the Force, what did he seriously think that the end result of insulting him to his face was going to be?

It still doesn't explain why they enter the trench so much farther away rather than diving in much closer to the target. Later media justified the trench run. Turns out they did so to take cover from the heavy surface fire, as demonstrated in Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, in which going above the trench will see you getting annihilated by turbo laser fire.

A New Hope / int_7c0bfb83	comment	The Empire is an Obviously Evil organization of Card-Carrying Villains. While it's obvious that the Empire represents evil, it can be less obvious what the Star Wars universe specifically considers evil. The audience receives its first clue regarding the Empire's brand of evil in the film's establishing shot. As the shot pans down over Tatooine, we see a Rebel cruiser fly overhead, immediately followed by an Imperial star destroyer. The differences between the ships are immense, and this shot tells us everything we need to know about the Empire. The Imperial ship is much larger than the cruiser, so it takes longer to pass by, its presence dominating the screen as it does so. The audience feels the power and the size of the Empire wrapped up in the imagery of the ship. As the story progresses, we see how that power and size becomes a source of fear throughout the galaxy. The Empire uses both to make people obey and, like the cruiser, it destroys those who resist. Also, considering the Empire's an oppressive regime supported by a military complex that uses power and fear to force people to follow them and kill any who resist, they're like space Nazis or fascists. There's even imagery to support the claim: The stormtroopers' marching is similar to that out of the Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will; the design of the Imperial officer's uniforms was based on Prussian and German military uniforms from the Nazi era; Darth Vader serves as a type of Imperial Gestapo, or Nazi secret police; and they even have their own Final Solution via Alderaan's destruction.

The comic is notable for being based on an early edit of the film and as such has characters and scenes (including one featuring a humanoid Jabba the Hutt) not in the final movie.

A New Hope / int_870bbf64	comment	Show, Don't Tell: The opening shot, which establishes with visuals alone that the Empire is a massive, aggressive force bearing down on the small, fleeting Rebels. In the DVD commentary for the film, Lucas mentions that he distinguished Star Wars from other space and science-fiction films by intentionally avoiding exposition about the universe it is set in, treating things that would be fantastic in our universe (i.e. Landspeeders, talking robots, spaceships) as mundane and trivial in their world, using this kind of symbolic storytelling as a way of connecting the audience with the galaxy of Star Wars. A good example of this is the scene where the Millennium Falcon is introduced. After a sweeping shot with triumphant music allows the audience to marvel at the Cool Starship, Luke exclaims "What a piece of junk!", conveniently informing us that spaceships of that size and ability are considered common in-universe to the point that even a farmboy in a backwater feels insulted that he'd have to pay so much to hitch a ride in one.

There's even imagery to support the claim: The stormtroopers' marching is similar to that out of the Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will; the design of the Imperial officer's uniforms was based on Prussian and German military uniforms from the Nazi era; Darth Vader serves as a type of Imperial Gestapo, or Nazi secret police; and they even have their own Final Solution via Alderaan's destruction. Contrasting the "Space Nazi" Empire are The Rebels who naturally symbolize forces of goodness and all of its various forms. For starters, the Rebels value individuality over conformity and the state. This is evident even down to the uniforms worn by their foot soldiers. Whereas stormtroopers wear identical uniforms and helmets that make them all look the same, the Rebels all sport helmets that allow the audience to see their faces and recognize them as individuals. Their value of individuality ultimately leads them to victory. In the climactic battle, the Empire's favoring of conformity results in the TIE fighter pilots being very interchangeable and they can't be told them apart. Meanwhile, the X-Wing fighters have individual names and distinct personalities. Ultimately, it is one of these individuals, Luke Skywalker, that manages to take down the behemoth battle station and save the day. The Rebels also value diversity. The Empire only accepts humans into its ranks â€” specifically white men. The Rebels, however, accept people from all backgrounds, including nonhuman species like Chewbacca. And finally, the Rebels accept religion. They literally couldn't be more different from the Empire. The Force possibly represents religion broadly rather than a specific one â€” that it has boiled away the imagery, tenets, and hierarchies to focus on the core of religious beliefs. And it is true that the Force isn't a one-to-one analogy for a real-world religion. For example, the Force isn't this universe's equivalent of Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Taoism or any of the existing religions. The force is religion, not a religion. As Grand Moff Tarkin says to Vader: "You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion." The implication is that the Jedi were a religion organized by a creed and not a movement of vagabond priests bound by a loose central philosophy. We don't get a clear sense of the religion's structure, but Obi-Wan tells Luke, "the Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic". This conjures images of crusading knights of yore, so you may picture a council of Jedi making decisions, warrior Jedi on the front lines, and squire Jedi learning the trade. It's unclear whether the Jedi worship the Force. The Jedi's relationship with the energy field seems a bit more equitable than that. Obi-Wan tells Luke that the Force "obeys your commands," making it something he can use like a talent or tool. Yet Obi-Wan also puts his faith in the Force. He believes that it'll control his actions in a beneficial way and that the Light Side of the Force will ultimately lead Luke to his proper destiny. Much like the Empire represents fascist ideology, but can be read as being a specific fascist group (such as the Nazis), the Death Star (which is really the size of a moon) represents the dangers of military technology in general, but it can be read as specifically the dangers of an advanced military technology... like the atom bomb. Despite its sci-fi veneer, Star Wars has a rather "ancient" vibe to it and technology is mostly frowned upon â€” ironic given the then-advanced technology that went into making the film. One example of this is Obi-Wan calling blasters "random" and "clumsy" and preferring the more dated technology of the lightsaber. To the average viewer, it's sci-fi awesomeness, but in their universe, it's like preferring a sword to a gun. Another example is Luke trusting his faith in the Force, and switching off his targeting computer. The message is clear: It's better to put your faith in instinct rather than scientific know-how. The Death Star takes this anti-technology bent and gives it a great big villainous symbol. Unlike the shots of Luke's home world or the Rebel base, there is no nature to be found on the Death Star. Its denizens don't even act naturally. Everything about it is artificial. Basically, the Death Star represents the evils of military technology, specifically the atomic bomb. Like the bomb, the Death Star has been designed with the purposes of deterring retaliation with the promise of mass destruction. When Tarkin orders Princess Leia to name the Rebel base, she lies, saying it is on Dantooine. Tarkin decides not to make Dantooine his target, saying the planet is "too remote to make an effective demonstration." It's been argued that one of the reasons America decided to drop the atomic bomb was to demonstrate its military power to the Soviets, reasoning with eerily parallels to Tarkin's. Obi-Wan's haunting account of the destruction of Alderaan â€” "I felt a great disturbance in the Force as if a million voices suddenly cried in terror and were suddenly silence" â€” could as easily describe the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. According to Obi-Wan, a lightsaber is "the weapon of a Jedi knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic. Before the dark times. Before the Empire". Obi-Wan yearns for the good old days when things were simpler and world made sense to him. And it's not just Obi-Wan; Star Wars has waves of nostalgia running throughout it. The present is considered the dark time and the past is looked up as a better time to be alive. As such, the Jedi and lightsabers take the place of knights and swords and represent the good old days. Audiences look back on the age of errant knights and think of it as a time of chivalry, courage, and decorum (although that couldn't be further from the truth). By co-opting the imagery of knights, Star Wars creates a symbol that draws us into the nostalgia trip. The Jedi and lightsaber â€” plus Obi-Wans poetic waxing for the snows of yesteryear â€” don't bring reality to Star Wars. They infuse the film with the luster of myths and legends.

He sent a pair of Stormtroopers into the Falcon to search for occupants, and the whole thing—Luke and Han attacking the Stormtroopers and Dressing as the Enemy, Chewie being the Trojan Prisoner, Obi-wan evading the Stormtroopers until the tractor beam was disabled, etc.—was improvised from there.

A New Hope / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: As Luke introduces himself to R2-D2 and C-3PO, 3PO calls him "Sir Luke", hinting at Luke's eventual Jedi Knighthood. Uncle Owen expressing his fear to his wife Beru that Luke will turn out like his father. Luke griping that R2-D2 is going to get him into a lot of trouble back home. The Stormtroopers searching for R2 and the data schematics he has hidden inside him trace him to Luke's farm and murder Owen and Beru, leaving Luke essentially orphaned. Ben Kenobi telling Luke that Obi-Wan is not dead... not yet. Luke asking Obi-Wan how his father died and Obi-Wan struggling for several moments before replying. This one's interesting because, obviously, Empire hadn't been written or even conceived at the time of the original release. But the way Alec Guinness plays this character beat unintentionally provides excellent foreshadowing for the Vader twist. In-universe and in the context of the Original Trilogy's release, it can retroactively be seen as Obi-Wan stalling. He knows he has to tell Luke something about Anakin, but that now is not the time or place to reveal the truth. So, Obi-Wan decides to settle on his truth, or what he sees as the truth (that the Dark Side corrupted Anakin, destroyed the good man Obi-Wan trained and loved like a brother, and that only Vader remains now). Darth Vader foretells to Tarkin that it will be a day long remembered, hinting at the Death Star's destruction. Darth Vader tells the Imperial council to not get too overconfident in the Death Star, stating "the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force." Sure enough, it's the Force that allows Luke to make the one-in-a-million shot that destroys the battle station. When Vader talks about Obi-Wan to Tarkin, the latter says he must not be allowed to escape. Vader replies that escape is not his plan. He's right â€” Obi-Wan intended to die on the Death Star, and even signaled why he intended to die during their final duel.

A New Hope / int_a1a1491e	comment	Homage: To Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, with the droids being the focus for much of the film, and also to Yojimbo, with the scene of the two braggarts at the cantina. Lucas' heavy use of frame wipes is also indebted to Kurosawa. The heart-wrenching scene where Luke rushes to the farm, only to find it already raided and his relatives dead harkens to an equally distressing scene in The Searchers. The confrontation between Kenobi against Ponda Baba and Cornelius Evazan in the cantina is straight out of Yojimbo, complete with the lingering shot on a severed arm. Much of the Death Star attack at the climax comes from The Dam Busters, down to the dialogue in places. In fact, some footage from The Dam Busters was actually used in early cuts as a stand-in for the Death Star trench run. The medal ceremony scene at the end is almost frame-for-frame out of the infamous Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will. A couple of the characters are homages bordering on Expy. Classical Hollywood aficionados will recognize Greedo's silky voice and bugged-out eyes, and Jabba moves smoothly like Sidney Greenstreet and has his placid expression. Harrison Ford's Han Solo has elements of Humphrey Bogart note "I stick my neck out for no one!" as well.

However, Tarkin decides to obliterate Alderaan anyway, reasoning that the location Leia gave (Dantooine) is far too remote to serve as an effective demonstration for the rest of the galaxy.

Whereas a single proton torpedo to the thermal exhaust port, and the Death Star — the size of a moon with a crew numbering in the millions — turns itself into a planet-sized firework.

As the novelization put it, "Kenobi retained values most modern men would have deemed archaic. He would consign no-one to the bone-gnawers and gravel-maggots, not even a filthy Jawa." Books later established burning as the standard Jawa funeral rite, which Kenobi, himself a subscriber to a religion which traditionally burned its dead in a similar fashion, knew.

The enemy can't line up a shot to take out your leader if they're too busy dodging your own shots. Instead of sitting there as useless meat shields, Wedge and Biggs and the rest should have immediately dropped back to engage Vader's fighters. Notably, when Han shows up and does exactly this, it immediately breaks up Vader's formation and leaves Luke free to take his shot, precisely what wingman tactics are supposed to do.

The stormtroopers quickly mow through the rebels and send the remaining ones packing. But during the shootout, C-3PO and R2 pass through the hallway and narrowly miss the volley of lasers being shot between the imperials and the rebels. While this could be chalked up to them not being the targets of either side, the droids got really lucky they made it out intact. Ironically, an aversion of this is what lets Luke and Kenobi know that the Jawas who sold Luke the droids weren't slaughtered by Tuskens. Unfortunately, this realization is made too late to save Owen and Beru. The Death Star's stormtroopers fire volley after volley of lethal laser rounds and always end up just missing our heroes. This includes when they're standing still five feet in front of them, clinging to a wall, or running down a straight hallway. Leia later rationalizes that Vader intentionally let them escape, but it isn't clear when in the escape Vader got that idea and relayed it to his troops. Greedo, in the Special Edition, clearly is a graduate as he is somehow able to miss Han. At point-blank range. By more than the distance between them. With a laser.

Heck, the superlaser cannon has two crew members perched on the itty bitty platform right next to the gigantic superlaser beam! The blast doors. These are quadruple-section doors that close in from the corners, leaving an increasingly-shrinking square in the middle. Yes, in the event of decompression or a firefight, these doors need to close quickly for the safety of the onboard personnel (and to prevent pesky intruders from escaping, natch).

If it weren't for Tarkin interfering, Motti's throat would be crushed. Greedo. Despite holding Han at blaster-point, he fails to notice that Han is reaching for his own blaster — the one that he then uses to kill Greedo.

A New Hope / int_b707726f	comment	Hypocritical Humor: When Luke rescues Leia from her cell, she remarks that Luke's rather short for a Stormtrooper. In real life, Mark Hamill is 5'9", while Carrie Fisher was a petite 5'1" in height. Even more amusing in that Temeura Morrison, who played Jango Fett and was the base for the clone army that became stormtroopers, is only 5'7". Luke is actually tall for a stormtrooper. After Luke boasts that he just blasted a TIE fighter, Han Solo, who tends to be a bit on the smug, overconfident side at times, tells him not to get cocky about it.

A New Hope / int_b7227261	comment	Shocking Defeat Legacy: The beginning of the end for the Galactic Empire is when the Death Star is destroyed at the Battle of Yavin, which is a huge military and propaganda victory for the Rebel Alliance. The battle not only deprives the Empire of their superweapon, it also shows the greater galaxy that the Empire isn't the invincible power they appeared to be. Quite ironically, the Empire's commander at Yavin, Wilhuff Tarkin, had started his career by delivering one to the pirates that infested his native Seswenna sector and executing the survivors in a horrific manner for everyone to see, resulting in piracy all but disappearing from the sector out of the sheer terror of facing him.

Han only rescues Princess Leia for the promise of enough money to pay his debt to Jabba and refuses to die for her cause. He comes back to save Luke because he likes the kid. The term "let the wookie win" comes from C-3PO and R2-D2 throwing their holographic chess match with Chewbacca, after Han Solo instructs them not "to upset a wookie". This scene suggests that it isn't worth winning — even fairly — against a Sore Loser that could inflict Disproportionate Retribution upon Rage Quitting, particularly if the stakes are as low as an inconsequential chess match.

A New Hope / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The design of C-3PO was inspired by robot-Maria from Fritz Lang's Metropolis. An imperial officer almost refers to the Rebel base as a "hidden fortress", though he's interrupted by Vader Force-choking him in the middle of the second word. The Hidden Fortress is a film which had a massive influence on A New Hope and successive Star Wars pictures. Lucas has always been open about 2001: A Space Odyssey being a huge influence on his work due to its revolutionary special effects and visual design, and one of the more direct shout-outs is Docking Bay 327 having a look and frame of bright light at its entrance similar to Space Station V's hangar from 2001. In Alan Dean Foster's novelization, Stormtrooper TK-421 is identified as THX 1138. In the film itself, a disguised Luke claims he's transferring Chewie from Cell Block 1138. The multiple references to an unspecified (but apparently quite valuable) "spice" is likely one to Dune. Later media in both the Legends and Disney continuities would reinforce this by establishing spice is a drug, similar to that of Dune. Tatooine is a desert planet like Arrakis (but with two suns instead of two moons), and the "Jedi mind trick" is a lot like the Voice. To The Wizard of Oz due to Han and Luke disguising themselves in stolen stormtrooper armors while rescuing Leia like Dorothy's friends do when dressing up as Winkies to sneak into the Wicked Witch's castle and save her. Chewbacca and 3PO are also easily identifiable as expies of the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Man, while Luke can be seen as a Composite Character of both Dorothy and the Scarecrow for being a farm boy who lives with his aunt and uncle and wishes to leave the dull life on Tatooine, and while resourceful he's often out of his depth compared to his more seasoned companions.

A New Hope / int_c7b5445c	comment	In the DVD commentary for the film, Lucas mentions that he distinguished Star Wars from other space and science-fiction films by intentionally avoiding exposition about the universe it is set in, treating things that would be fantastic in our universe (i.e. Landspeeders, talking robots, spaceships) as mundane and trivial in their world, using this kind of symbolic storytelling as a way of connecting the audience with the galaxy of Star Wars. A good example of this is the scene where the Millennium Falcon is introduced. After a sweeping shot with triumphant music allows the audience to marvel at the Cool Starship, Luke exclaims "What a piece of junk!", conveniently informing us that spaceships of that size and ability are considered common in-universe to the point that even a farmboy in a backwater feels insulted that he'd have to pay so much to hitch a ride in one.

But while making The Empire Strikes Back (which was at first going to be Episode II of the series), he decided that he also wanted to do three prequel films. Since Luke obviously wouldn't be the hero of the prequels, Lucas needed a new name for the overall series. His solution? Star Wars, once just the chapter title of the first film, became the title of the entire saga. As a result, the subtitle A New Hope was retroactively tacked on to the first film, and it was now numbered Episode IV.

Lampshaded by Han Solo after seeing Luke successfully fend off a test droid shooting at him while he's wearing a helmet over his eyes; he calls it luck and says he doesn't believe in the Force, calling it "a lot of simple tricks and nonsense"—which makes sense based on what he's seen up to that point.

A New Hope / int_cb83d23b	comment	I Just Want to Be Special: The film begins with Luke saying that he wants to leave home to join the Rebellion, just like some of his friends. It's bittersweet when he gets his wish. He stated that he wanted to join the Imperial Academy (even though Luke said he had a negative opinion of the Empire when talking to Obi-Wan), as he and Owen discussed at their dinner. Owen wouldn't allow him to, due to how much Luke was needed on the moisture farm and because he was a bit nervous that Luke would turn out like his father.

A New Hope / int_cf57aca1	comment	Orwellian Retcon: Since the 1997 Special Edition, each re-release has featured ever-more-extensive changes, such as Han's shooting of Greedo being changed to self-defense. A very subtle one: a few frames have been removed from almost every single blaster hit on a stormtrooper throughout the film in order to tone down the violence. A frame-by-frame comparison makes the difference very obvious — the frames where the bolt is shown hitting are removed in editing, less than a half-second of footage per hit. It is especially noticeable in the bridge-swinging sequence, where it happens frequently enough to noticeably rush the pacing of the scene. In the other films, very few stormtroopers are actually shot on-screen.

A New Hope / int_e2c4b927	comment	Dub Name Change: Several in the French version, many for no other reason than avoiding Lip Lock. Also doubles as a localized version of Early-Installment Weirdness since several of these were later changed to the original names (or a more faithful equivalent) in the sequels, and others, eventually, in the prequels. In fact, Darth Vader's name is the only one to have remained consistent across all the movies. Luke Skywalker was called "Luc Courleciel" (a literal translation) in very early credits. C-3PO and R2-D2 are respectively Z-6PO and D2-R2. Darth Vader is Dark Vador, possibly because French speakers are unfamiliar with the "th" sound. Chewbacca is now Chictaba (a corruption of "chique tabac", chews tobacco), with Chewie now being Chico. C-3PO references the "salt mines of Kesselring" instead of the "spice mines of Kessel". Grand Moff Tarkin is "Gouverneur Tarkan", with a voiced n. Alderaan is now Aldorande. The Death Star is "l'Ã‰toile Noire" (the Black/Dark Star). The dub of Return of the Jedi would later translate it literally as "Ã‰toile de la Mort". "The Clone Wars" to "La Guerre Noire" ("The Black/Dark War"), presumably to better match the lip movement while still sounding suitably mysterious. When the prequels came around the name was translated more literally as "La Guerre des Clones". Han Solo is called Yan Solo (which is how the name "Ian" is pronounced in French) since "Han" would sound like "Anne", a female name.note In fact, this receives a shout-out in the French version of Solo, where Lando, instead of mispronouncing "Han", calls him "Yan" and is corrected. The Millenium Falcon is the "Millenium Condor", it later became "Faucon Millenium" and is sometimes called "Faucon MillÃ©naire" (a more literal translation).

Her first speaking scene is cool defiance in the face of Darth Vader (who, as mentioned, just strangled her captain), and her second is being brought to the deck of an Imperial vessel, just after being put through an enhanced interrogation session, and happily taking the time to insult the commander to his face. She then attempts to guilt Darth freakin' Vader, and lies about the location of the Rebel base to throw off the Empire and save her planet from destruction. The lie fails, miserably, but this woman is Silk Hiding Steel all the way.

Turns out he was underestimating them.

Once the Death Star is operational however, the Empire soon drops the faÃ§ade of needing the Senate at all.

Princess Leia's starship, the Tantine IV, has mostly white and chrome interiors, befitting a diplomatic starship belonging to the Imperial senator from the very wealthy world of Alderaan.

A New Hope / int_fab3235a	comment	Easy Evangelism: Luke accepts everything that Obi-Wan tells him about his father, the Jedi and the Force without question, even though he's hearing about these details just now. This does help speed the story along of course. Luke's belief only starts stretching during Yoda's lessons in the next movie. Also downplayed in that Obi-Wan only starts training Luke on how to use the Force in any real detail after Luke has already seen a Jedi Mind Trick.Luke also chews out Han for not believing in the Force, similar to how a religious person would chew out an atheist in real life for not having a faith in God, even though on Han's defense, there's no way an outlaw and smuggler like him who had more life experience without any direct involvement of the Force would've had a reason to believe it. And Han is not Force-sensitive himself.

The reason for this is that when the Jabba scene was originally cut, the lines were moved to the Greedo one. However, by the time the special edition came around and re-added the Jabba scene, Harrison Ford was too old to record different lines while he was reaching for the blaster.

A New Hope / int_fdbdc112	comment	Practical Effects: This movie really show-cased Lucas's genius for special effects, especially given it had a lower budget than the later productions would be able to command. As was common at the time, the shots of space ships in space are all various sized miniatures cobbled together from various kits. Lucas's innovation on that front was to have the camera move around the model rather than to try and move the model, allowing for more realistic motion and not have it look like a toy on a string. Rather than put people on stilts for the massive figures of Darth Vader and Chewbacca, they just found really, really tall actors to provide the required imposing presence. The lightsabers are a practical effect, too. They covered wooden rods with movie screen material to make them highly reflective so they would overwhelm the camera and give them a magic glow, and put a motor in the handle to rotate the rod so it would appear uniform. This gave the added benefit of giving the lightsabers a realistic heft as their actors wield them. The only problem was that they stopped glowing if you didn't hold them in the light the right way, as becomes evident in some shots, particularly when the swords are pointing directly at the camera. The only effect that was added later was the color of the blade, using rotoscoping.

A New Hope / int_fe614133	comment	Beauty Is Never Tarnished: When imprisoned on the Death Star, Vader turns up to interrogate Leia with a droid equipped with a huge syringe. As the door closes on them, it's clear that she's about to be tortured for information. And yet the next time we see her, she looks perfectly fine, without so much as a puncture wound or a hair out of place. Word of God is that all the interrogator droid did was inject her with a powerful hallucinogen which left her susceptible to suggestion and Vader simply made her think she was in pain.invoked Later, she's the first to jump in the garbage shoot and land in sewage. Her floor-length white gown ends up slightly smudgy. Luke is shown shaking his hair out and Han and Chewie are completely dry when they get out of the trash compactor, so it seems the Empire has dry-cleaning services just outside the Death Star's shit-pits. Which is nice of them.

When Luke switches off his targeting computer during the attack on the Death Star, Mission Control on Yavin IV briefly breaks military protocol by calling him by his first name instead of his callsign — something that they wouldn't do unless they were very alarmed. It's the only time in the whole sequence that the control officer uses anyone's real name.
