You should watch "Empire of Dreams" after you've finished this trilogy. It's a documentary about how these movies were made, and since you seem to be into the technical side of things, I think you'd really enjoy it. Also, these are the "updated" versions of these movies. If you'd like to check out the original theatrical versions, look for "Harmy's De-Specialized" editions. If you happen to have a VHS player in your home, you may be able to find the "THX" versions of them, pre "Special Edition" on that format at a charity shop. There IS a "limited edition" DVD set that has the original theatrical releases of all three movies (as "bonus content"), but you'll have a deuce of a time finding them. Something else to put on your "to watch" list should be the movie "Fanboys". It is a companion movie to the Original Trilogy that takes place in our universe in 1999, right before Episode I comes out. While I know you've seen them, I will tell you that there are no spoilers for Episode I in Fanboys. It's just a really good movie, and the film makes actually got Lucas' permission due to the Star Wars and THX-1138 references, as well as the cameos involved. But George Lucas always allowed "us" to "play in his sandbox" of Star Wars.

Which is basically distraction, avoidance, and fear. This can look so many different ways in all of our lives whether it’s an addiction, a person, or a bad habit. We all have a pull to hide into the dark side in one way or another. The opposite is presence, love, and bravery. ❤️

You’re correct on George’s style of not explaining too much. It goes all the way to the very first movie. I had seen sci-fi at that point in ‘77, and admittedly I was just a kid of around 9 years old so my frame of reference is limited, but within about 5-10 minutes we had a stormtrooper declare “Look, sir! Droids!” whilst holding up a man-made object. At that point I’d heard of robots, I’d heard of androids, I may have even heard of cyborgs. But I’d never heard anyone call androids ‘droids’. It needed no explanation. We just suddenly had a new piece of jargon in our head and we didn’t think twice. The term gets used constantly in the Star Wars universe, and if you think about it, you’ve probably never heard it in any other story or franchise. You wouldn’t use the term in talking about the robots in the movie I, Robot nor Bi-Centennial Msn, nor A.I, nor Ex-Machina. George just got us familiar with robots, had the term casually thrown into the dialogue, and a cultural icon is born. That was one of the real core ways Star Wars worked - it really seemed like a ‘lived-in’ universe. It was scratched and dented and scuffed. There was an absolute sense that these characters lived in these towns and cities. That they used the technology, and they’d formed language and habits based upon it. The original trilogy really excelled at that. Not all of the following works managed to really achieve the same level of ‘lived-in’, but they were lucky enough to ride the cost-tails of the OT.

It's not just Lucas, I feel like creators back then understood that film is a visual medium. Look at Alien, look at Blade Runner -- well the good cut -- they always just show you something spectacular instead of just giving you a bunch of word vomit. It really builds mystery and intrigue. I think audiences are too dumb for that these days or creators are too afraid of misinterpretation that its understood there will always be an exposition dump. I am reminded of how often I can just put on a show or movie these days and just do something else because there is no point in watching. Content these days might as well be audio only.

He gets things wrong, and he tries to shoehorn ideas into situations that don’t quite fit. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate what George did in creating Star Wars, but you could even see in the ‘making ofs’ in the prequels when he gave private preliminary screenings to Spielberg and other buddy filmmakers that none of them wanted to hurt his feelings but they were worried about the results. He’s sort of above anyone telling him that an idea is bad.

I like that you identified the similarities between Luke and Anakin abruptly leaving to save their loved ones. The six George Lucas Star Wars films actually form a composition ring, with each trilogy forming one half of the ring. Because Empire and Attack of the Clones are on opposite sides of that ring, they were made to mirror each other. There are so many parallels between the two movies. The reluctant romance, the aforementioned rash decision to leave, the chase through the asteroid field, Jango and Boba Fett each acquiring their bounty, a Skywalker losing a limb, too many to name really. Each has a giant land battle where the rebel side has to evacuate. There's even the scenes where Anakin dives out of the speeder into the underbelly of Coruscant, and Luke jumps off of the platform into the bottom of Cloud City, representing their potential moral descent. The only difference between the two is that they move in opposite directions. So the last act of Empire mirrors the first act of AOTC and so on. It's really cool to look into.

Beca there was no CGI used in the original Star Wars trilogy when they were originally released. The CGI in 1973 looked like an atari video game. It was used to make titles in a movie. It wasn't anything like the CGI of today. What happened is in the 90s, George Lucas decided to clean the original films because they were extremely dirty and scratched, and the colors were fading. So what he did was create a digital copy of the originals because it was easier to fix each of the frames in digtal format than to try to actually clean film. Then he realized that since he had the movies in a digital format, he could add things to the film digitally with CGI. So he added scenes, creatures, and some backgrounds using CGI of the late 90's and early 2000's. Since then, they have changed a few things several times. But the original movies when they were released did not have CGI in them they were all three done with practical effects. The only CGI used in the originals is in Episode 4 in the scene when they were showing the pilots the attack plan on the Death Star. Those attack plans were CGI. That was the best CGI could do at the time. And it wasn't very good or real looking. It was about as good graphically as Pac Man. There's a channel on KZitem called Luke Skywalker he has several videos showing you a side by side comparisons of the original scenes before the CGI was added and after the CGI added for every scene CGI was added. He has separate videos for each of the first (original) three films.

No one would mistaken the graphics seen in the Genesis scene in The Wrath of Kaun as a photo realistic (real looking) image like we see today.

The severity of the crash has been wildly exaggerated over the years, though - Mark even clarified it fairly recently. The truth is that his biggest injury was most of his nose being destroyed, so they took some of the cartilage from his elbow and made him a new one. But since the nose is a very central component of a person's face, any change can alter people's perception. For a similar example, just look at Jennifer Grey; she had two nose jobs in the 1990s and no one recognized her afterward. As a result, her career went downhill.

"You can't breathe in and talk like that!" Sure, you can... if you've got a mechanically augmented respiratory system. The breathing you hear is part of Vader's life support system, mechanical lungs that carry out the molecular processes that his organic lungs can no longer do, being too scarred from inhaling searing gasses on Mustafar. However, they are at least capable of simply pushing air around, which is enough for speech.

This comment made me do so research out of curiosity. Seems like people are very split. Some compare it to being like an iron lung or chest ventilator. However, some still argue that due to air going through the trachea in both of those devices that you still wouldn’t be able to breathe in like that and talk at the same time. Some claim George Lucas intended the sound design to be this way on purpose, while others are saying it’s just a post production error. I can’t seem to find an actual solid answer. Likely due to it being a fictional life support system. So in that case, it is allowed to do whatever it wants 😊

I figured the respirator would have an intake separate from the trachea, perhaps vents going straight from the grate on the mask to the artificial 'lungs'. That would allow breathing and speaking to take place completely independently of each other.

I like Ep4 the most, but that’s relatively recent. 5 and 6 used to be back and forth for OT fave I’d definitely like to see you watch the Obi show. Most SW content honestly. Clone Wars (2D and 3D), Rebels, Mandalorian, etc… Bring it on! A few lessons and some practice does not a jedi make. Though in wider lore he does look for info on the jedi to expand his knowledge and hopefully improve, before Obi leads him to Yoda I’m not sure the guts were stop motion, but the full body shots of the tauntuns were in fact cgi “Show, don’t tell” is definitely good, but not the end all be all rule. Sometimes we do need to be told things. •To this day I still see people not grasp that Luke has been put in a healing fluid (bacta) and not just a bath basically. Extra crazy part, to this day I’m not sure if any SW show or movie has explicitly explained what bacta is “I know they don’t know they’re siblings” No one did! That wasn’t decided till RotJ 😂 The AT-AT’s were indeed stop motion “Dude looks like he’s meditating” Appropriate since that atructure he’s in is a meditation chamber The C in C-3PO stands for c*ck block XD It’s been retconned that Vader is aware Luke is his son. Bc why wouldn’t he? He knows his name is Skywalker way before his space zoom with the emperor. He doesn’t know about Leia though A light side aligned force user disappears after their death when they become one with the force, but only if they’ve trained to retain their identity after death to manifest as a force ghost. Or if they’re guided by another after death, as Anakin was. •Qui Gon was the first jedi to learn how, but his training wasn’t complete, so he wasn’t initally able to manifest as a ghost. Then (as shown in EpIII) he communed with Yoda and would later do so with Obi Wan to teach them Yes, that was a vision Luke had in the cave and it was him in the mask. It was telling him if he attacked without emotional control he could fall to the dark side. And maybe the papa thing. “[Leia’s] shorter than I remember” Carrie Fisher was 5 foot and Harrison Ford is 6 foot 1! In all fairness to Lando, he has a whole city he’s in charge of, and the Empire blew up a *planet!* And that was when (they thought) they got the info they wanted! They could probably take out the city with just one Star Destroyer. Not even bombard it, just take out what’s keeping it in the air! It’s been misquoted as “Luke, I am your father” probably since it first came out Luke didn’t use the force to fly away. He just let himself fall and he ended up getting sucked into one of the vents. Yes, sabers cauterize, except in Ep4 because they didn’t establish it yet/unless it’s a species whose blood doesn’t cauterize, like the aqualish in Ep4. Carbonite can put people in hibernation, as long as the machinery is good enough to not kill them during the freezing. The Vader twist was kept secret from pretty much everyone. The only ones who knew were George Lucas, James Earl Jones, and the director. They told Mark Hamill right before they filmmed the scene. •For everyone else, the line they thought it was gonna be was “Obi-Wan killed your father.” Which, can you imagine?!

He grew up as a Skywalker and with Anakin's stepbrother while Leia was adopted fully, including changing her last name. So Vader thinks he has found his child when he identifies Luke as a Skywalker and his son. He doesn't know he should be looking for more people.

- Leia's last name is Organa. Her adopted father was Bail Organa. - A wound that is closed by burning is called "cauterized." - Cool thing about Luke: he never narc'd on Yoda teaching him; he kept his existence a secret. - Han & Leia's chemistry is good for a reason. Ford & Fisher had an affair in '77 during Episode IV. - Lando couldn't warn Han without tipping off Vader; so he tried to keep Han from landing. - Lucas said that Luke's fall is what took the wind out of Vader's sails. Realizing his son would rather die than join him only highlighted to him what he was: a broken man who has gone all-in on the wrong decisions and lost everything because of it. After that, he wasn't the same Sith Lord he'd been up until that point, and you can actually see a loss of confidence in him from here on out.

As for which I like better, story wise, I'll say Empire Strikes Back, but Return of the Jedi I'll say shaped me the most into the woman I am today. The gold bikini, when I was a little girl watching it on the old VHS Tape that mum and dad had, and seeing that was when I started to realize that I liked other women in a different kind of way. So Return of the Jedi also holds a significance to me as well. As for the misquoting, I blame Pop Culture for misquoting that line and saying "Luke, I am your father" rather than the correct line of "No, I am your father." Anyways, I enjoyed this, and looking forward to your reaction to Return of the Jedi dropping. Thank you so very much for this.

The tank Luke was healing in was called a Bacta Tank. In the Star Wars universe you will see it being utilized for accelerated healing. Also, the sound you hear is not Vader breathing, but the sound of his respirator pumping oxygen in and sucking out carbon dioxide. According to the books, his lungs were damaged when they were burned so he was not actually breathing. The suit serves as a mechanical iron lung breathing for him. This is why he can talk while the sound is happening. Vader does not inhale or exhale from his nose or mouth. I didn’t come up with it. That’s just how it’s explained in the books. I’m sure they could have written it after so many people mentioned it in their own observations of the original trilogy.

I’m a first gen Star Wars fan and these days I’m all about chronological order, you’re seeing the story unfold as Lucas himself wants you to see it. Yes, all the world building exposition is in Episode IV, but the narrative about the fall of the Republic and Vader’s seduction to the Dark Side and subsequent redemption to the light by his son is the intended story (was it originally? Arguably no, but it is now). I’m always fascinated by those who watch the prequels first. It’s such a different experience. And I’ve come to feel it’s better.

Star Wars has always filmed in interesting locations. The major location in this film was Norway, in Winter. The Prequels used Tunisia, Italy, Thailand -even with all the digital. A fun story told by Mark Hamill, when filming on the complex set for Deborah, in studio in London - he had an ear-pod, of the time, to hear directions and the voice of Yoda. Mark's ear=bud-thing was interrupted by BBC Radio at one point, and he heard The Rolling Stones, a song "Fool to Cry", and he exclaimed "Hey, I hear The Stones!" and he gets a call to get back into character.

In the prequels Obi wan's master trains himself to contact the dead in the force, and it is suggested that he continues training Obi wan once he is dead. I believe Yoda tells Obi wan to train in this himself while he is watching over Luke on Tatoine.

I was 10 when the original Star Wars hit theaters. The funny thing is that the novelization of the movie came out almost a year before the movie did, and I was an avid reader back then. So, I had read the book already, so I was super hyped for the movie when it released. I still have that book, BTW.... along with all of the Topps trading cards from Star Wars (it wasn't sub-titled "A New Hope" yet, it was just "Star Wars"), and the VHS tapes from back then. I don't have many of my original toys, though.... they were heavily used, and I sold them off years ago. When Empire Strikes Back hit theaters, I was 13. Personally, I loved it... but critics and fans (at the time) were kinda divided on the movie. The big "plot twist" (No, **I** am your father!") was the biggest shocker of a plot twist that no one saw coming. We spent the next three YEARS debating it whenever the subject came up. We had no idea if Vader was lying to try and turn Luke to the Dark Side, or if he was telling the truth. Aside from the other two trilogies, I don't know what all you've seen in this franchise, but I will recommend that, once you've seen Episode VI.... that you watch Fanboys, then start back at the beginning of the timeline, and watch it all in chronological order: The Acolyte, Episode I, Episode II, The Clone Wars (animated series), Episode III, The Bad Batch, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Andor, Rebels, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Episode IV, Episode V, Episode VI, The Mandalorian (seasons 1 & 2), The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian (season 3), Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew (should be released by the time you get that far in the timeline), Episode VII, Episode VIII, Episode IX. I didn't list "Tales of the Jedi" and "Tales of the Empire", because they are kinda scattered about the timeline depending on the episode. So, maybe wait until the end of that marathon before watching them. Also, do NOT discount the animated series' (Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, Rebels, and "Tales of...") I made that mistake, and won't make it again. They are not the "kiddy shows" I thought they were. Plus, they are "canon", and add a LOT to the overall lore of Star Wars.

The X-wing has a monitor linked to the droid socket. That monitor translates an astromech's binary language and displays it as a readable text. The droid socket also has an internal commlink tapped into the droid so the pilot can verbally communicate with the droid from his helmet mic. Luke doesn't really learn to fully understand binary till the books released after the trilogy. In this movie he really is just talking to himself. Aretoo can understand him, but he can't understand Aretoo.

It is the Mandela effect. “Luke, I am your father” is probably the most misremembered line in cinema since it is actually, “no, I am your father.” So much so that in the movie Tommy Boy with Chris Farley, he actually is joking around in the movie and talks into a desk fan and says the wrong line (you know how desk fans change your voice). What’s crazy is that the movie was extremely popular and it is believed to have helped propel the misquoted line even more since it did so well as a home video release at the time. Hopefully we won’t have to wait as long for the final one. Been waiting forever because I enjoyed the first reaction so much haha When you get done with the series, you have to watch the comedy Spaceballs since it heavily is inspired by the OG Star Wars movies and themes. I promise I won’t be the only one suggesting this. Directed by Mel Brooks. It’s a very beloved parody.

George had a treatment for one story. That story was then refined and broken up into parts. Star Wars 1977 was the part he went with for his movie. There was no plan for a sequel, that is why the Death Star was destroyed it needed finality. As a condition of making it, he (George) made sure that he had all the rights to make sequels. However he had no idea how big his movie was going to get. The original sequel to Star Wars was called Splinter of the Mind's Eye. the only returning characters would be the droids, Luke, Leia, and Vader. Since there was no promise Harrison Ford would return. Either he wouldn't do it or he cost too much. When star Wars became the huge hit, it was re branded EP 4 A New Hope. And the serialization that George loved as a kid could be remade in a big way. During this process, George had a treatment for a 6 movie saga. None of which would be set in the prequal era. And even more ambitious was his dream. The Lucasfilm ranch would be a massive workshop for aspiring and currently working filmmakers to test and develop new technology and techniques and make creative movies free from the Hollywood system all with Star Wars as it's heart. Each film after the original would have a different director and the special effects teams would only get more talented. The whole of the project would be headed up by George himself and he would direct the last movie. The first trilogy, would be Luke saving the Rebellion and ultimately killing Darth Vader. The next three films would center around him searching for his long lost sister and together they would defeat the Emperor. ESB had an impressive budget. Much better than the film in 77'. However there where problems. A lot of problems. The on location shooting in Norway was a nightmare. The coldest winter on record caused a lot of costly delays and frostbite. Then the story itself had a lot of fat to trim. Luke would visit 3 worlds. Each one he would learn and be tested by a different Jedi Master. Yoda, Obi-Wan, and the ghost of his father. Planning for those sequences proved to be one hell of an expensive venture. So the three planets where turned to one, and Luke would train under the masters there. But another problem, run time. Luke still needed to fight Vader and his New Super Commandos. So George had the idea to combine the two characters, Anakin and Vader. This sparked a whole new set of ideas in the man. A new trilogy about how a Jedi Knight becomes Darth Vader. The Super Commando costume was pretty expensive to mass produce considering he had to find a new prop house for all the blasters and lightsabers and such. Even the Stormtroopers got new armor and materials, So the Super Commando suit was then painted and weathered into the bounty hunter Bobba Fett. Mandalorian Lore came out months after the release of Ep 5. The rest is history. Or it would have been if George wasn't destroyed by the unions. Empire Strikes back was a monumental success. However, he kept all the into to his films the same. This was to emulate the since of continuity from those serials of the 40's and 50's. But since he had not put Kushner's name at the beginning of Empire, he was sued, fined, and kicked from the Writer's and Director's guilds. all that work his dream of using the ranch for more than just his projects a place free of Hollywood bureaucracy, his 9 movie saga, all dashed by 12 pieces of paper. This meant that he couldn't hire Steven Spielberg to direct Jedi. Nor could he hire any guild director. George had to micro manage that production. He began to crack the whip and anyone would tell you he was more like a corporate stooge than a visionary director. This also meant that episode 6 would be the last of the series. So Luke's sister had to be revealed in that movie. Jedi had a lot going in it. Luke needed to find his sister, fight Vader and the Emperor, and get the girl without taking too much screen time from Carrie Fisher. George found his solution by going back to the production of Empire. Luke does not get the girl, Han does. Nihils Skywalker is combined with Leia. So that's the real reason for all the sexual tension be tween the two. They where made siblings out of necessity. After Jedi, George stayed out of the spotlight. assisting on other people's projects and further developing filmmaking technology ILM, SKywalker Sound, and THX. then after big hits like Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park, George thought maybe then technology was caught up with his idea of a galaxy far far away after he put to words "No! I am your father." But before he started working he needed to see for himself if Star Wars still had a market. He went back to his original three films and added changes and effects while digitally enhancing the picture and sound. The Star Wars Trilogy: Special Edition which where brought to theaters in 97'. The VHS came out a few months later. Side Note: We bought those tapes and was watching them the night Princess Di was killed. Anyway, The success of the re-release, toy sales, and such put George and his team to work on his second trilogy which would feature CGI assets like the Imperial capital. There are a lot of details that go along with the making if the original trilogy and I'll probably add those when you get to RotJ.

Regarding your comment about Vader's breathing while talking. You have to understand that Vader isn't just wearing a suit. He is part machine after the procedures done on him to revive him from his serious injuries resulting from the conflict with Kenobi and having his entire body seriously burned. The entire mechanics are basically a mobile life support system, which regulates his breathing for him. Thus, he does not have to even think about breathing, much less inhale and exhale on his own. If you've ever been bedside to a patient in a hospital hooked up to a ventilator/breathing machine, you've seen how the simulated breathing done by the machine remains constant, regardless of the motions of the patient or whether or not he/she is talking, or even eating. The patient is not controlling the pace of his breathing, the machine is.

Ok, there's a bunch of new comments here, so I'm done scrolling. I just discovered your channel through the New Hope watch. Congrats on what i suspect is a huge influx of viewers ✌️ Anyways, nobody watching the originals back in the day thought that Obi Wan survived the fight with Vader. Lucas did kind of retcon it at the end of Ep3, at the end with the discussion about discovering how to commune with the force. The technique allows the dead Jedi that know how to live on as "force ghosts". That was part of Obi Wan's mission while watching over childhood Luke. Of course Yoda, who brought the subject up, did the same during his exile to Dagobah.

“CGI” as you are speaking to in 1977 was not the same thing as CGI as used today. Not even close to the same thing. They just had no distinction in the title of how computers were used.

Wasn’t that fast. Took 19 years to blow it up. Joking aside though, the original plan was for the death star two survived the first film. But things quickly changed during multiple rewrites to the script. Matter fact, it was an almost a last minute decision to kill off Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was pretty much solidifies that after the death star, Kenobi’s relic story just disappears. Combine that with the fact that George had no idea this was gonna be a giant success. In fact, it was almost guaranteed to bomb. A very low low budget sequel was in the works called Splinter of the Mind’s eye, which was adapted into a short story. He only returning characters with, and Luke Leia and Vader. Figuring Harrison Ford would either be too expensive, or refuse to be in the movie. Oh, that changed when Star Wars first premiered and George have to pretty much write the new sequel from scratch. This is where his original 6 film plan began to take shape. Keep in mind those six films not a single one of them was going to be set in the prequel era.

The Lightsaber cauterizes the wounds which is why no one bleeds when they get slashed, stabbed or cut with a lightsaber. Also the technology had improved by the time Luke lost his hand they gave him a robotic hand which mimics a real hand which is why Luke felt pain when the MD droid tested his response.
