I'm thinking about her, my beloved:
This film <3
Andromeda went to sleep to "The Imperial March" and I was consumed once more with thinking about how incredibly good it and its originating film are. Love of my life!!

Han, having dinner with Anakin: Boy, I love meeting people's Dads. It's like reading an instruction manual as to why they're nuts.

Could you imagine being Luke Skywalker and just having had your hand cut off and then Vaders your dad and you are hanging by hopes and dreams on the bottom of Bespin and you call out to Leia, and you’re waiting for her. Millennium Falcon shows up and you’re like, “great, rescue and emotional support” and a man you’ve never seen before comes out to get you? I’d be a little disconcerted

Death Vader in The Empire Strikes Back: Yes, last time I tried to get a loved one to rule the galaxy with me it went horribly wrong. But this time. THIS time. It will be different.
Darth Vader a few minutes later: God dammit.

I feel as if ANH is a cleaner cut but it has to do a lot of worldbuilding along the way, but marcia lucas also cut together a coherent film. ROTJ is the movie with emotional heights and payoffs, but leia in jabba's palace is a low-low and parts of the ewok sequences drag on for me, so it definitely could have used marcia's touch. (secondary to all of this: my heart is always in ESB!)
I agree! ANH does do a lot of the lifting for the trilogy (and series) as a whole by setting up the world, establishing characters and stakes, etc, without plodding or cutting off the moments it should linger on. And that's heavily influenced by the fantastic editing. ROTJ isn't as well edited, which is partly what I mean by the smoother quality of ANH.
ROTJ, great as many of its moments are, stumbles on its way up; ANH doesn't climb as high IMO but doesn't generally trip over its own feet, either (total agreement on slave Leia, as you know!). That's basically what the discussion with my friend is about.
And I'm with you on ESB—favorite movie of all time etc :D

i think pop culture references should work by the principle of 'will they be understandable 30 years from now? if yes, then you can include it' bc otherwise they will age incredibly poorly and be insufferable not even 30 years from now, but like in the next 5 years
