Han shot first, last, and only.

As an OG OT fan, can we please bury the bull with who shot first??? In the original release, Han fired the ONLY shot! It was altered later to not make Han look like a cold blooded killer.

I always interpreted the galaxy wide celebration in Jedi's special edition to be about the death of the Emperor and not that the Empire itself has suddenly collapsed, as this would have rallied a great many more people to the Rebellion's cause to help them finish off the Empire in the battles to come.

The main problem with adding the Jabba the Hutt scene to A New Hope is because a lot of the dialog from the scene was used for the conversation between Han and Greedo. So we end up just hearing almost the exact same conversation in the very next scene.

arent we at point where youve regurgitated and reordered the same lists enough times now?

I always figured Yoda's line about "the is another" was Anakin. Obi-Wan was fully aware Leia was Luke's sister, but when he says Luke was their last hope, Yoda says there is another like he is talking about someone Obi-Wan would never expect. Obi-Wan had pretty much accepted that there was no good left in Vader. He was the one who implied Luke would have to kill Vader. Yoda only tells Luke he must "face Vader". Perhaps Yoda was still able to sense there was still some good in Vader that Luke could use to bring Anakin back to the light. Afterall, that is what happened.

The Jabba scene in A New Hope should have been cut for two reasons. One, it was redundant because nothing new was provided to the audience via dialog that we hadn't already learned from the Greedo scene. Two, Lucas had to make it look like Han stepped on Jabba's tail to account for Harrison Ford walking around the stand in actor. A crime boss as powerful as Jabba would NEVER tolerate such disrespect from one of his underlings. Especially one who owed him so much money that Jabba already put a bounty on his head.

Still want to see the Biggs/Wormy and the gang scenes restored and inserted. 🤓😎✌🏼

I have never understood the controversy regarding the Luke/Leia kiss in Empire. This wasn't a romantic kiss. I recognized that when I saw the movie for the first time, and after the sibling relationship was revealed and we had the chance to go back and review, you can see that she only did it to piss off Han. And it worked, too! Because it wasn't a romantic kiss, and the brother/sister relationship had not been revealed yet, I don't get why this scene freaks people out. I say get over it and enjoy how that kiss made Han Solo drop his jaw in amazement.

The scene where Luke and Leia kiss is made even better by the fact that right after Chewbacca says something. I think he knew.

The Emperor was killed along with Darth Vader so YES it was a galaxy victory for the rebellion not just one small victory, so yes that edit to Return of the Jedi does make sense

Yub Nub sounded a lot like the theme of Sesame Street.

Killing Darth Maul was one of the biggest waste for prequel trilogy.

Re: the unmasking of Darth Vader scene, I've heard that originally it was supposed to be David Prowse as the adult Anakin and the scene was actually shot with Prowse. But GL was holding a grudge against him over an interview he'd done before TESB where he speculated that Darth Vader was Luke's father. The story goes that after the filming, GL went back and shot it again with Sebastian Shaw, who was hired at the last minute without an audition. After editing in the Shaw footage, supposedly GL had the Prowse footage destroyed, including that of Prowse as Force-ghost Anakin in the Yub-Nub scene. Prowse only found out just prior to the premier. Can anyone confirm this as more than a bunch of rumors?

10:40 George must have been snorting SOMETHING in the 80's.

Hello there!

Is WhatCulture Star Wars going to review The Acolyte? The commentary from both extremes is hilarious to me. I love when people say that a single movie or show will destroy a franchise. I think people just love to be unnecessarily dramatic. I'm an OT fan myself...midi-chlorians and Jar Jar prevented me from buying into the prequels.

Jabba should have been a hologram/projection from an underling.

I think the galaxy wasn't celebrating the fall of the empire so much as the death of the emperor. Also, no more one per list? What's up with that?

What happened to the original dance and song number at Jabba's palace?

Han shot

Happy to hear Jules signing off again at the end of the video. Not a fan of the immediate cuts everyone is doing lately and Jules’ warm messages to the world is great to hear.

1:46 I HATE 'yubnub', sounds like sesame street, I prefer the music that replaced it.

Ah well, Ford got that princess boo tang in real life. 🤣

Despite George’s chase for perfection or his dissatisfaction with some elements from the pre-Special Edition versions of the Star Wars trilogy, I think him getting rid of “Nub Yub” was one of the better decisions as the Victory Celebration score is a better score for ending the trilogy and feels more emotional. Besides, I heard “Nub Yub” might get erased from existence via time travel in the future anyways, so might as well as accept the new score as the definitive score of the end of the Star Wars trilogy.

JULES!!!!!!

Worst scene? Couldn't tell ya Worst thing? Selling out to Disney.

Dave Prowse should have been under the Vader helmet, and should have been the ghost

When Darth lost his mask, it should have been David Prowse.

Killing off great character arcs so quickly isn't a good move. It isn't an arc, otherwise.

Sebastian Shaw got shafted, he will be my Anakin forever.

0:43 😂 Darth Maul clearly had the high ground 1:33 Darth Maul had the high ... forget it 😂😂😂😂

George Lucas liked the prequels...

Han shot first? Doesn't matter at all! Greedo had Han at gun point. So, no matter if Greedo shot or not: Han shooting Greedo is simply put pure self-defense. No matter, if you take US laws, German laws or whatsoever as a foundation to judge that. So leave finally aside this most stupid discussion!

Luke and Leia, playin' The Family Game🤣🤣🤣

People out here really believe yub nub is better than victory celebration. Insane

Prequels better then the original trilogy fight me

IMHO, The Force Awakens is the only flim of the final trilogy that was actually good! 8 was embarrassing in how awful it was, and 9 was damn near unwatchable. I personally feel that 7 is the best of the new movies. The only other one I liked as much was Rouge One, a great try in to get to A New Hope.

Huh? The EMPEROR was dead... therefore the EMPIRE was over... therefore galaxy-wide celebration. It makes perfect sense.

Starkiller did *NOT bring down an entire Star Destroyer.* He merely guides the nose of the ship downward.

Who cares? The franchise is dead.. Thanks alot disney😑🙄
