No-one cares though, therefore it was pointless and a waste of time

@@antsbull3370 imo I think he looked really weird with the eyebrows, kinda made him look a bit funny, so I'm glad they took them off because I think it gives hive a bit more of a freaky vibe

Vader's vanity had him applying Rogaine to his brows. ha ha

But before the prequels we never knew he was burned though.

Ants Bull so i am no one?? you can’t make a blanket statement like that. there are some of us who care about and appreciate these small details and i am one of them.

@@MidnightRobotics Fart? Allright. Smell on it.

@C man Man that's what I love about him

I agree with the both. Placing Hayden in Return of the Jedi linked the two trilogies more.

I agree with that one as well.

I agree.

Personally for me as a 22 year old, regardless of the continuity of it I really liked seeing Hayden Christensen at the end of Return of the Jedi. I remember being seven years old and it actually brought a tear to my eye when I first saw the remastered edition and could see the Anakin I grew up with at the end! And yes, sorry but go through what he went through in RotS and show me your eyebrows after LOL!

It makes sense with Christensen as the Force ghost as that was the last time he looked like when he was a Jedi.

Raven's Hold This. They're s hard to come by now that it's insulting.

i have them on VHS :) they're 33 years old

I have a friend who has the originals on Laserdisc. We watched Star Wars (the first one) once and it was glorious seeing it in its original form. Han mother fucking shot first!

Raven's Hold I have the originals on the limited edition tin DVD box set. a real treasure.

Yep. All I want from Disney is a bluray HD release of the original trilogy without all the CGI additions. Just a clean copy with good audio and video for modern TV sets.

Dominic Joy woah lets not go that far

Dominic Joy your opinion is the worst

Dominic Joy Wow, yeah, the love story between Anakin and Padme was really well-acted, huh? I mean, Natalie Portman showed so much passion. Oh wait...

things that the prequels did better 1)better action 2)better lightsaber duels 3)better Emperor 4)better Fett 5)better troopers(both clones and droids) 6)better planets

Better designs, better concepts better ideas. however poor script and too much over reliance on cg

Noah Larsen same

Maybe that's what Lucas was going for... One day he thought, "You know what my record breaking masterpieces could use more of? Comedy! I want people spitting their f*cking drinks all over the place from laughing!" That's about the only reasonable explanation I can think of for most of his changes... Other than he might have just lost his damn mind lol 😂

orig still the best other 2 suck

I absolutely loved it. Come on have you ever seen a more camp shit than that? and besides it sounds way more like a human using the force to seem more loud. I don't buy that "oh he could tots pretend to be a dragon, why no one uses this power after then?

Ahaha me and my girl noticed that and that was just funny asf it ruined that scene

How can it ruin this scene?

I did the same thing for Empire! And as a kid would have it playing in the background while I build spaceships out of Lego. Friends would visit and we would build lego whilst listening to Empire Strikes Back. Unbelievably cool.

Awesome recount of a fan story.

Episode 3 was the best movie in my opinion, the change of Anakin to Vader is great. 3 is honestly the only great star wars movie personally and maybe the new one with Palpatine will be good but will see.

Linda Clements that was the longest comment ever

@TigerClaw! You know, there are these crazy things we have, called opinions.

Just visit any thrift store or pawn shop. They're still pretty easy to find.

Not the original version bud. You're thinking of the later VHS releases right before dvd came out.

I don't know if you were replying to me or Quintus, but I was referring to the 80s CBS/Fox tapes, not the '97 and post '97 stuff. I still see the 80s tapes pretty often. And how would you know which version he meant , anyway? ;)

With VHS video quality too. These were the days.

Quintus Aurelius Symmachus Psst, Google "Harmy despecialized". You're welcome.

endorbr you can download the "despecialized edition"

True. But its still not the same as an authorized bluray or 4K quality from an HD polished master.

endorbr Well it's never happening.

Never say never. There is a 4k restoration of ANH ("revealed" by Gareth Edwards a month or two ago), and I assume there is of the rest of the trilogy as well. However Fox has the rights to the theatrical version of ANH forever, but it's not impossible that Disney can work out a deal with them to be able to release it in hd.

You must be high. If Disney can make a buck off it, it will happen. Even if they have to buy Fox.

Themurloc the special editions are better then the originals accept it. The changes and added scenes where needed it makes the films better

Yea they could. If snatch that shit right up 2

Themurloc amen brother! Lucas seriously fucked up those 3 classics. I'm glad I still have the originals on VHS...

B Quinn he made them better most true fans like me like the added scenes

How about a release with the original 1977 movie and all of the changes made for the 1978 and 1979 releases as well. There were subtle changes, but being on the autism spectrum and nit-picky about little details, I did notice them and it always bugged the heck out of me.

Puff daddy yeah I mean I get what you're saying, but Anakin DIED on Mustafar, Obi Wan even said it in ROTJ. Vader was fully created at Anakins destruction, it only makes sense the last time he had a slight bit of light in him is portrayed as a force ghost. Vader was redeemed, not transformed.

The entire original ending to Return of the Jedi was better, in my opinion not just the force ghost debacle.

Darth Rice: Anakin dit not die on Mustafar, that's just Obi Wan being dramatic. It's just the usual metaphysical BS the jedi (and most religions) are selling about the body being just a vessel for the spirit and such. Lets just be real here: Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker, who got disfigured horribly, was put in a black life support suit, and who has gotten older/warped by the dark side over the years. He redeemed when he was old, so the spirit shown should be the one from the original movies: old Anakin. Lucas just showed Haydens version to make the prequels seem more relevant.

The original made no sense either bro. Anakin wouldve been 45. The actor was in his 70s and looked it too. If a Force Ghost was to appear with the appearance he had when he died it wouldnt be an old man Anakin it would be a pale bald scarred limbless man. So either way Force Ghosts take liberty with their appearance.

John S let's real life real talk here what really doesn't make sense is changing a old movie to fit in with something that came out 22 years latter how about writing the new to fit with the old don't be a lazy hack and change something already established.

Kitty Spalla The eyebrow removal was much a needed update .

You and me sister. It makes sense.

Saw it in the theatre as a kid. It was insane. So much better than any space movie to that point. The audience cheered through all the big scenes. It was like a live show.

Captain Rorke Kings Guard the eyebrows represent humanity in an "evil " darth vador

Captain Rorke Kings Guard I agree. If you have money to just fuck around with why not? 99% of directors wouldn't out all that effort just to change something small but Lucas is in special lol

Krontok funny thing is he actually altered his face a little to look like Hayden

"I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

Krontok are you fucking serious ? if smn burns in lava , there wont be any eyebrows ! you brainless fool !!

Are you stupid

No

i dont think it was needed but i dont hate it

It’s because anakin was last ‘Anakin’ before he turned to Vader, which was when he was young. So having the old version doesn’t make sense, because when he was old he was ‘Vader’.

@@SB_11111 No. He was Anakin again for one last time during the final moments of his life

Honestly I fuckin am too

No, it was for money. He knew his fans are stupid and would gladly pay more money for the same movie they have already seen.

In the name of those who gladly payed to see this movie again, I can affirm that we just wanted to see the restored film, the remastered sound and cleaner picture, even the one scene or two they said they found, but I was appalled by the defacement of the original piece.

He did do everything he could to piss them off, he sold it too Disney

I just wish they would release the original trilogy on dvd - i wonder if Disney will ever allow that now that they own the property ? I was 13 in 1977, and my memory fades daily - i'd love to see them again, someday.

except the fact that hair grows back and he's been around for like 25 years

Then why hasn't his hair on his head grown back?

Not often through the scars of burns.

hair can grow back in minor burns... but Anakin had severe ones.

But Vader's eyebrows are clearly back in the Vader vs. Ahsoka fight in Rebels! Pablo Hidalgo and Dave Filoni have some serious explaining to do!!!

Right, that's why he was able to release movies in the first place SMH

DarkKnight182 And the cgi looks better?

About a trillion trillion quadrillion floppity gillion times better.

The puppet was better. It shows a passage of time. Yoda is like 10-15 years older in episode 2 ad 3, and then an additional 15-20 years in 5 and 6. I don't know how Yoda's species ages, but I would presume that they to an extent, especially since he looks different between the trilogies. Plus, there is Yoda action in episodes 2 and 3, so it would be jarring for him to transition from puppet to CGI, but there isn't any in episode 1 so it's better for him to be puppet.

catholiccontriversy Except that the puppet looks creepy and the movement was poorly done. Compared to the puppet they used in the eighties, it is a colossally inferior, embarrassing effort. Eliminating that garbage with a proper electronic version was one of the most obvious and incontrovertibly justifiable changes they could have made to that movie.

that was really weird how the '97 puppet looked so horrendously worse than the '81 puppet. was there a reason they didn't just reuse the old puppet? i mean, i get that he's like 20 years younger, but when you're talking about a 900 year life span that makes zero difference.

Christian Highland no it doesn't. Lucas' reasoning is completely flawwed. The very last we see of "Anakin Skywalker" is when Vader finally saves Luke and kills the Emperor. He even goes on to have a small conversation with Luke before his death. He started his life as Anakin Skywalker, he ended his life as Anakin Skywalker

The only other argument would be for him to be a force ghost that looks burned up like in the end but the look of the original force ghost makes no sense he never would of looked like that

Ace of Games In his redemption, he went BACK to being Anakin Skywalker. He went back to his former self. That's why Christian is in the edit, and why it's fine, imo at least.

Get out, prequel lover

Changing Vaders head made sense because 1)That was the last time that Vader really felt like his old self(before he got his limps chopped off and burned in lava) 2)Vader died at the age of 48 Sebastian Shaw was way too old 3)Vader could not know how he would look like if he was older 4)Sebastian Shaw looks nothing like Luke Ace of Games according to your locig Vaders force ghost should look like Vader with his skin still burned up and with all his limps missing

It didn't look like it was invisible.

That's crap. Call it what it was: a shoddily done, tension-stealing, pointless visual effect for an unnecessary additional shot.

The Ewok eyelids also made them look better.

Agree with the Ewok one. But what do you mean with "out of place"? To me it made sense that Anakin didn't have eyebrows.

JarAxe I'm agreeing with you, I said the eyebrows always looked out of place.

it's petty

aimless_wandering? More like "aimless_commenting"

You know, the Mona Lisa was a great film, but she really enjoyed wine and cheese, and I felt it wasn't realistic to not have her enjoying wine and cheese in the painting. So we added in Mona Lisa at a party drinking wine and enjoying cheese and we're not longer offering patrons the ability to see the original painting, only the new and improved painting, based on the factually accurate scene of her enjoying wine and cheese at a dinner party. You're welcome.

The Scream was great, but it just missed monster which caused the scream.

Are you calling George Lucas an artist? That's adorable.

@Sparrowhawk It is an analogy. Nobody called Lucas an artist.

But that's actually what they do. They don't go to museums but they keep changing their works, sometimes for their entire life.

Cyanakrli They did, that's why the Special Editions exist.

rocketcon Exactly

Maybe they were false eyebrows? Who says evil dictator types don't do vain things with their hair. . .

that makes sense

Didnt Anakin only burn his lower body and not the head anyway?

Yes, as we are meant to sympathize with them, they need to exhibit the most human appearance as possible without looking exactly human. You make the aliens the audience is meant to root for look and act as human as possible while making the aliens the audience is meant to hate be as nonhuman as possible. It's movie making 101.

Yep, almost every line from that exchange, if not every single one, was subtitled in 1983.

They were subtitled AND translated by 3PO, right? So the viewer knew what 3PO was going to say before he said it, and knew which lines would make him uncomfortable to say? That's how I rememebr it, but it's been some time.

News flash it's not cool to own a vhs

What about replacing the emperor with Ian McDiarmid in Empire Strikes Back?

What about it? Should the work the original actor put in not be seen? Should Christopher Nolan CGI Maggie Gyllenhaal into Batman Begins? The Empire Strikes Back, written by Lawrence Kasdan and directed by Irvin Kershner, made $500 million dollars as it was originally released. The movie you watch now is not the same movie that stunned audiences in 1980 and for some reason it's really hard to watch that version.

Marc Campbell I prefer the movie that makes an ounce of sense when you watch ROTJ right after it

I consider some changes good, but I know that nobody would ever agree on which were good and which were distracting (and quite a few people have a soft spot for Monkey-face Emperor), so I would vote for no changes at all, just to be safe. Maybe a few digital touch-ups of the effects, at most, but don't add or alter scenes.

"What about replacing the emperor with Ian McDiarmid in Empire Strikes Back?" Would have worked better if the makeup had been adjusted to show he had aged, but he is the younger Emperor from Ep. 3. So, as it stands now, Palpatine did all his ageing between 5 & 6.

Midichlorians concentrate in the 'brows. It is known.

brandon caleb But that's what the actual Krayt dragon sounds like. You do realize that that's the thing Obi Wan used during the whole Grevious thing right.

Just because something doesn't sound terrifying to us earth humans doesn't mean it wouldn't sound terrifying to sentient life on other planets, which I suspect is the point. The sound itself isn't what's terrifying, it's what the sound represents (kind of like with a rattle snake...you don't run from a baby rattle, but you know instinctively to freeze when you hear the snake). The fact that most people can't wrap their minds around this concept is telling of the human condition---one seeped in narcissism. "Oh it's not scary to me so I refuse to imagine a world in which it is scary..."

No it wasn't Krayt Dragons are massive and afaik only found on tatooine. That was a Varactyl.

Dorian Gray Perfectly said!

The Krayt Dragon from kotor sounds like the current version of his scream

exactly, especially cause that was the last time he was truly Anakin

The Hayden ghost works if you’re watching the prequel trilogy first. If you’re watching the original trilogy by itself, it doesn’t. I wish Lucas had actually shot Hayden for that instead of using awkward outtake footage and pasting his head over Sebastian Shaw, though.

@@treeman5648 The last time he was truly Anakin was when he died on the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi.

@@geekyradical4985 yeah I thought that to but George Lucas said that he already was consumed by the dark side and had committed many atrocities in the name of the empire

@@treeman5648 Thanks to Attack of the Clones, Anakin was a cold-blooded killer even before he became Darth Vader. He always had darkness in him, but he looks like Sebastian Shaw when he's least consumed by it and least corrupt.

This.

Or, "Do not want" in Backstroke of the West.

"It's like poetry, it rhymes." Hopefully.

It wasn't pointless though, it's so blatantly stupid and out of place that I think Lucas did it deliberately to piss off his "fans"... Even Lucas wouldn't do that and think it's a good idea, I know he's naive but he's also smarter than people give him credit for...

ugaaa5 people still forget that despite his wealth he's an indie director at heart and he's never had a great idea of how things work in the industry. With the original star wars he had people there to tell him that his script wasn't that great, that the intro sequence was far too long etc., with the prequels he was given complete free reign which is why they fall down a bit in the writing and directing departments (i.e. dialogue, some sub-par acting and plotholes). Despite that I always loved the prequels and so did most people at the time, it's just the case of obnoxious tryhard fans giving Lucas a hard time, that and people forgetting that star wars was always a kids' film (and it could still be a good kids' film without the disney-fication...)

Which I should add means that I never understood the "Han shot first" controversy because that's the only way I had ever seen it growing up. Yeah he shoots first, said college-age me, you can see it right there in the film!

If you think the video is pointless, then why make a comment about it?

Because hate get views.

This and all of this. These types of fans will want to be buried in a giant original VHS box of Star Wars lol.

why click the video? you saw the title fuckwit...

I didn't say I thought the video was pointless. I just wondered why.

Nice

you're so cool holy shit.

Thanks for the awkward praise, Connie.

Both sneaked and snuck are correct. Sneaked is the original term used, but now it is changing over the snuck.

Nah, if he were in full Anakin mode he'd have been monologuing about sand.

SwenglishGamer except when they actually fix continuity. What I mean is, for someone who saw the special editions first, going back to the originals is just as jarring as the other way around.

SwenglishGamer that's not what I said though

It doesnt. Its just the retards on the internet that will do anything just so they can complain say its bad. Its George Lucas' mind. If he thinks there should be changes then thats what should happen.

its not that theyre bad, its that theyre pointless and sometimes make less sense to include.

Well as he said in the video numerous times, some of them interrupt the dramatic tension of the main action. (Why show a shuttle scene with Vader that isn't necessary when it dulls the focus on Luke's pain and rescue?) That's bad. Some of them create new plot holes. (Why don't they notice Boba Fett tailgating?) That's bad. Some of them add pointless extra time to the movie. (scenic jar-jar binks taxi ride) That's arguably bad. The video did justify most of the criticism. On top of that, there's the general philosophy that unless the change is absolutely necessary or an improvement, it's better to leave a movie alone so as not to distort it obsessively over time. The same way you shouldn't colorize every black and white movie from the past just because most films are shot in color now.

I don't remember that sequence though and the 2004 version is the main version I watch…

Lt. Basil I watch that version too, and I remember it....weird

Zakker Huh. I'll have to watch it again.

That atrocity is probably the best possible proof of GL's utter hackiness. I mean Brett Ratner levels. George Lucas was considered a brilliant up-and-coming filmmaker in his time at USC. I remember seeing a documentary that mentioned one of his greatest talents was masterful editing. So how does a great editor turn one of the most brilliantly tense, tightly-edited sequences IN FILM HISTORY into the abortion of cinematic stop-and-go traffic that is its current iteration? Answer: a great editor doesn't. A mediocre editor doesn't. A hack does. He crapped all over a fantastic piece of work that perfectly combined genius writing, cinematography, and music because some moron might not understand how Vader got from Cloud City to the Executor. After he explicitly growled, "Bring my shuttle." And by the way, that garbage dates from 1997, IIRC. I'll have to dig up my 2002 (?) P&S VHS copy (my 1997 SpEd seems to have been lost in military moves) to confirm. That, and Luke screaming with Emperor Palpatine's Hans Gruber cry, was so jarring it's like hearing the Wilhelm scream in a non-humorous death scene. Ruins the movie and is utter trash.

The shuttle scene was originally added for the 1997 version but had what was obviously another actor saying Vader's new line. In the 2004 dvd debut the sequence was still there but the new line was redubbed by James Earl Jones (while he was recording his lines for Revenge of the Sith. His additional dialogue for the new Emperor scene in Empire Strikes Back was also recorded then).

That was probably the worst of them all, lol. It's almost like you can see George sitting there on his fat ass in the editing room saying something stupid like: _"I feel like the audience will not get the message here, it needs more stuff that sort of rhymes."_ That idiotic change manage to ruin one of the few good scenes in that otherwise weak sequel. It wouldn't surprise me if he does all these changes on purpose just to fuck them up.

I especially like "I feel like the audience will not get the message here, it needs more stuff that sort of rhymes." because he was making changes as if it hadn't even reached audiences yet.

Daniel Nicklas V if it is a minor change, then why are you bitching about it

Minor change?!? lol. Even if the movie had been great, that "minor" change would have ruined the entire movie completely; that's how bad it was.

It's not that pointless in that it gives some life to him and it brings the continuity of the repeated phrases like "may the force be with you" - we see them in every movie. It's better without it, but not entirely pointless

I also understand why the "wolf man" close up was replaced. These movies have always been for children, too, so removing a scary looking wolf with red eyes is understandable.

>Anything to justify his popularity is welcome, I feel. I don't know why but this part of your comment creeped me out the most. I mean your comment is all pretty standard creepy fanboy bullshit, but I'm just trying to wrap my head around this particular concept... Lucas needed to add a scene to a movie that came out 20+ years ago, to make a character in that movie more sympathetic, so that fans of that character have a more justified reason for liking him? WHAT??!?!?!

Most of the "making Mos Eisley look busier" stuff was pointless, with the possible exception of getting rid off the awful blur effect under Luke's land speeder on its way in. I'd even tolerate the wide angle shot from the special edition, except it starts with that 'funny' bit with the droid hitting the smaller flying droid in front of the rebel transporter ship.

Goodbye R2-A5

Typical star wars fanboy. What he did was make alot if shit better because better tech was available. Do I agree with all the changes... No... But you can't blame a guy for wanting to keep perfecting his movies. Anakin force ghost for example makes sense! That's what Anakin looked like before he became Vader and got burned

couldnt* care less

No it doesn't make sense. If you believe that Anakin and Vader are truly different people, like Obi Wan would have us believe, then you still have to admit that Vader turned back into Anakin at the end of Revenge of the Sith. So the last "light side" version of Anakin was the burned-up egghead guy who died in Luke's arms. No, in-universe logic doesn't really support it. I think +GodsGrace has found the only logical reason: money. In this case as an actor Hayden Christiansen is the bigger name, if only purely because he was the star of two Star Wars movies and not just the one scene.

Save movies from their directors!

agreed

I haven't watched the Blu-Rey version of ESB recently, but didn't they remove Luke's scream for that one? I think I remember thinking "Oh, thank goodness" when I saw that.

esadday 5 of the changes you mentioned are annoying...

I agree that the original versions should be released, but how can you advocate for keeping the originals "pure" while saying changes should be made to the prequels?

Quinn I think that's like saying the Bible should be kept as it is, but it is okay to make changes to 50 Shades of Grey. The first is revered by many and the second is objectively God-awful writing.

Harmy's Despecialized Editions Also, the Whills, while not expounded upon until Rogue One (great movie, BTW), are canon. Check out the original gold-colored novelization of Star Wars.

I was born in 2003 and watched the VHS (I have all three original movies) episodes religiously as a kid. I know several other people my age who did as well.

Me too. Grew up on those. Good times

I have a bootleg VHS copy... whoever taped it in the theater had to pan back and forth to get the subtitles in LOL

Also people think that C-3PO’s line: “There’s no where to go” after he says “This is suicide” was an addition to the Special Edition when it was in the original theatrical cut. The line was actually on the 35 mm Dolby Stereo and 70 mm 6 track audio print of the film as different prints of the film had different Dolby stereos which had a few differences in audio.

Amen.

Man of Glass Nah, I'll stick with the real versions thanks.

rocketcon you mean those vhs 4:3 copies that would look awful on a 4K screen? Despecialized versions are the closest thing to Blu ray copies of the original vhs tapes.

Man of Glass without GL you wouldnt have. even have star wars ! so stop whining pls

Phew! I thought I was going crazy. I remember my VHS copy had Jabba subtitles, my favorite being, "this bounty hunter is my kind of scum. Fearless and inventive."

I think the video is about pointless changes in general, not just the Blu-ray version

Ujhhh, they did?

no they didn't

MACKLUNKEY

Not on Disney+

Han shot, period. Han didn't shoot first, he shot Greedo before Greedo had a chance to do anything. And no, they didn't.

As suggested by the toilet sound joke, there are various reasons that not everyone would be asleep even if everyone was supposed to. Plus, why would literally everyone in a palace (let alone a semi-militarized fortress as Jabba's palace seems to be) be asleep at the same time? There would always be servants baking things at 2am if we're basing assumptions on Earth. Servants would be doing other various things all night. Guards would hopefully be be awake in guard posts and patrolling, regardless of the time. Did they ever imply it was anything other than night time, or the sleeping time in whatever sort of schedule Jabba and his minions kept? Idk if the people Jabba surrounded himself with on Tatooine were semi-nocturnal because of the tendency to commit crime after dark, or what.

@@humaj19 It's not that life on Tattooine couldn't have had people awake, it's that original ROTJ played the scene perfectly... everyone WAS asleep and when the sleeping seemed established, Leia makes her suspenseful move to free her true love from carbonite. The suspense was that SOMEONE MIGHT WAKE UP. Maybe you're a millennial and don't realize that FICTIONAL limited scenes with somewhat unrealistic dramatic elements is WHAT VIEWERS WANT, not overly fussy or realistic meta moments. The films today forget the importance of ESCAPISM and are too self conscious, just like Lucas' millenialesque edits to a great original trilogy.

It was subtitled in the original release...this was not an addition. I remember sitting in the theater next to a guy reading it out to his son next to him.

You probably didn't notice the Falcon being followed because it wasn't shown? lol But it does make sense that showing them being tailed ruins the whole "the rebel got away" atmosphere--removing the element of surprise that they were being tracked. Its like Lucas decided the new generation of fans wouldn't be smart enough to follow context clues and needed to be shown unnecessary details. Like Vader getting on his ship to leave cloud city. He said that's what he was going to do, there's no need to show it. Once you see him somewhere else you go "oh yeah he said he was leaving". But its whatever, it's the fans that made the Star Wars we all know and love today. Lucas always seems confused about what he was doing with his story and evolving it as he wrote it as if everything he released was a first draft. Just like he didn't know from the beginning that Luke and Leia would be siblings. Confused little man.

Wynter G, actually Boba Fett's ship was shown leaving the trash to follow the Falcon in the original version of the movie, but it's more subtle and distant. It just shows the engines light up and it starts moving in the same direction. There might have been a shot of Boba Fett in the cockpit turning to look toward the Falcon too. There was just no up-close sweeping shot of the two ships flying 500 feet apart.

I agree with you Brent. There are so many crybabies on here who need to get a life. Or please end it so we don't have so hear your wining.

xeno rama yeah I actually had to pop in the original after watching this video. They show slave one start up and go after them then him in the cockpit real quick
