Summary
To kick off Caravan Of Garbage in 2026 we've decided to celebrate the release of Star Wars' 49th anniversary. We're talking the original movie as it was first shown in May of 1977 with none of the Special Edition tweaks or even the addition of the title A New Hope which was added four years later. We're looking at the miracle of the movie that started it all, George Lucas' vision brought to life with the music of John Williams, special effects by ILM and the relatively unknown trio of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill.

| 0:00.0 | 2027 marks the 50th anniversary of Star Wars original Star Wars. |
| 0:04.5 | Whoa, so not this year, but next year. Yeah, well we gotta get ahead of it. Hmm, is that why we're doing Star Wars right now, original Star Wars? Well, maybe I thought that they were doing the re-release in this year instead of next year. And maybe I thought, huh, that's weird that they were doing on the 49th anniversary and not the 50th. Oh well, time to rewatch Star Wars and research Star Wars at length. |
| 0:22.9 | Famously Star Wars and research Star Wars at length. |
| 0:22.9 | Famously Star Wars 97. We all know. We all know it came out in 1977. Yeah. So why wouldn't you do a re-release in 2026? Get out of it. That's what I'm telling you. We're getting ahead of it. We're getting ahead of it. |
| 0:34.7 | Welcome back, everybody, to Caravada Garbage, the first episode of the year, |
| 0:37.7 | where we're taking a look at not only the Star Wars trilogy, but the Star Wars trilogy in its original form. That's right. None of this CGI guff. Well, there's one CGI shot in this movie, and we'll get to it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Also, the way I wanted to approach this, because... |
| 0:55.4 | It's tough. |
| 0:56.1 | It's tough. |
| 0:57.0 | Everyone's seen Star Wars except for my parents, apparently. They told me the other day, they've never, they never saw it. I don't think that's true. They've never seen it. What are they doing? Have they read the novelization? Yeah, they've read, well, they read the novelisation, presumably by Max Allen Collins. |
| 1:11.4 | Or whoever. |
| 1:12.5 | Alan Dean Foster? |
| 1:13.9 | Sure. |
| 1:14.6 | Yeah. Well, they read the novelisation, presumably by Max Allen Collins. Or whoever. Alan Dean Foster? Sure. Yeah, probably one of them. Probably, yeah. Probably didn't need. It's so evocative. You don't need to watch the movie. That's a good point. Your parents are bigger nerds than I thought, Mason. Right. But the way I tried to look at this is, and it's kind of impossible at this point, because it's everywhere, it's been parody to death, every opinion has been said. But I'm trying to look at this as if it's new. Like imagine you've never seen something like this. We could ask my parents. We could ask your parents, good point. Now, they're busy. They're probably seen space balls also. They might have seen space balls. |
| 1:44.8 | Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| 1:49.9 | Even though, like, I say, look at this as new, it wasn't really new at the time. |
| 1:54.6 | And by that, I mean, the influences of Flash Gordon, it's also Dune, it's hidden fortress, |
| 1:56.5 | it's Joseph Campbell, there's Tolkien in it. |
| 2:01.2 | The character Tommy Tomorrow plays an influence on Star Wars. |
| 2:03.3 | The DC comics character Tommy Tomorrow who was revealed to also be commandi |
| 2:05.7 | the last boy on earth in a different reality. |
| 2:08.9 | Yeah, that's what I'm telling you. |
