@@LunaBirbosa listen man, Its just a weird thing to imagine

@@xx_viveboi_xx4657 Haha just saying there's no way someone with the username xx_vive boi_xx was alive in the 70s.

It's all about the BBC and their high-end video tape. Many people put down video as opposed to film, yet if you look at a sitcom like All In the Family (shot on video) vs. Mary Tyler Moore (shot on film) the difference is clear. Video doesn't age the same way as film. It also transfers well digitally as it basically has many of the same attributes as digital media. A show from the 70's can be made to look as if it was made recently for next to nothing money wise and quite easily. Film takes time, skill and money to restore.

The frame rate of film used in U.K is higher than in U.S...Think U.K uses an extra frame per second but it takes away the grain compared to U.S t.v...Personally..I always liked the grainyness of U.S t.v shows.

+7Earthsky I do agree with you, but by 1977 the BBC was using videotape and this show used that format. as I mentioned before, video doesn't age the same way that film does. with some simple editing, it can look like it was recorded Yesterday!

That's so interesting! And, please forgive my ignorance on the matter, but what exactly is the difference between video and film?

It was probably recorded digitally straight from the old beta format on one of the industrial quality players that most TV stations used. Years better than VCR. I picked up some of this equipment years ago. Looked somewhat like an old VCR, but bigger and they were heavy buggers - and they either recorded or played. These were commercial, not consumer. I couldn't find any beta media to play on them - couldn't even give the machines away, (it was a different beta than the consumer models used). The format was cleaner than what the monitors could produce at the time. The grainy look isn't from film, 35mm theater quality, but from recording from VCR to digital. Tape can degrade fast unless rerecorded and each copy pics up the damage from the prior copy. This video probably shows what a very well preserved beta looks like on 21st century monitors. The TV engineers from the time would probably fall over today if they saw the quality they were actually recording, lol.

Before the dark times, before the Disney Empire.

As somebody previously said, maybe just media-wise. Then again, there was LESS media, so that's understandable. However, back then was more racism, more violence plus the Cold War.

@@polarcape Huh? What do you mean?

Whole World has forever changed! For better or worst but Star Wars brought much light to that Force!

Yes it did.

I lived in Dubai in 2001, worked with an Indian guy who'd never heard of any of our shit. Not even Star Trek. Mind blowing.

I know people in their 20s and 30s who have never seen starwars:-)

Ikr!

Philip Almqvist same

I really like the comparison to traditional hero epics: Farmer boy yearning for adventure, a wise wizard, a "fairy princess". I am surprised that I never made that comparison before.

@@BrownRicePaddy ive heard it called a space opera and it did make sense for disney to "princessfy" Leia and Rey, but the way Hamil put it really tied things together for me

Same here

Hamill's only on this show because Star Wars had already opened worldwide and become a global sensation. I dont know what you mean by "explaining Star Wars before it actually existed". Clarification please.

I laughed so hard, especially because I'm much more than a 'fairy princess ' 🙄🤣🤣

It’s basically more a fantasy fairy tale with sci-fi elements, imagine the classic tales like King Arthur and The Wizard of Oz in space!

accurate and endearing

which still is when he is talking irl

the bbc still has decent interviews. It is American news media that has lost track, and I am saying this as an American. Still you have shit British media too.

You're a rabbi, using such a disrespectful term as "negro" rappers?Just very sad.... #racistmuch?

Then political correctness happened. People were put on TV due to their background in order to meet quotas, rather than picking the people who are the best for the job.

+Sloth from The Goonies if you think that's what happened, you need a lesson in language history and sociology. People simply stopped being elitist pricks about which dialects were suitable for TV. The fact that they stopped caring about RP or proper dialects has nothing to do with not selecting people who are best for the job. If anything it's the opposite.

So weird to think that this person played the Joker in the animated series and the Arkham games

Anthony Pellico that's why he got the part

The Truth right there! It's great entertainment but not science-fiction in the slightest.

@@davidchou1675 "Not science fiction in the slightest?". Untrue. This is the movie, which when I saw as a kid, got me thinking about the wonders of space and about science itself. It's not primarily science fiction, but to say it is not at ALL science fiction is false. So many elements in the first film alone like a planet having two suns, lazer swords, vehicles that move without friction by levitating, singers that have a bloated head for acoustics etc, are nice little science touches that can make a kid think, other than obvious stuff like it being set in space

@@milaanvigraham8664 it's a science fantasy. Star treck would be science fiction.

@@jplegend98 I think I made it clear why it's partially science fiction. Given the points I mentioned, how can you say it isn't science fiction

musicbyastrid so he is a dog.

Morris Spick Okay, if you really want it spelled out for you, I was affectionately making fun of his naive, enthusiastic charm, which is equally present in Hamill-as-Luke-Skywalker, actual-Mark-Hamill-in-this-interview, and in the behavior of golden retrievers.

musicbyastrid :D Now it's more clear, obviously who read cannot sense your intention so normally emotes are used. However initially I thought you would mean about its external face features. Mark had a fluffy face after car accident and surgery operations very different from his original deep intense look.

Hi lmg bro. I feel sick. Looking at this and how the birth of so many children's inspiration and hero was affecting our lives for the good to be turned into a fuckin joke in TLJ.

Hi especially when he played him and knew the vision

There's too much valley-speak nowadays, even adults who should know better are doing it. It feels like back then, people communicated better, for the most part.

It really is a shame! Back then people could get their points across very articulately and coherently. Nowadays, the English language is in a rot.

glad is not only me who notice this, our culture is change for worse, we are getting addictive on too much stimulus and instant gratifications.

I think it's because those 2 people on the screen are real people being themselves. Now it's uptight professionalism nonsense that a robot could be programmed to do.

It feels like they live in a calmer and slower world.

yes. i mean how they keep the tape, i mean there are no digital in that time.

It's not tape, it's video.

Maybe it's the special edition. :P

If you keep the master tape, most old stuff is actually good. That's how they release bluray versions of really old movies.

pictures were clear then....depended on tv brand.....and film speed....

I'm more of a Pizza Roll typa guy

Too pure!!

"I wish I wasn't so damn sweet"... I love Mark Hamill...

He's more witty and sarcastic now especially over TLJ.

I think he's WAAAY more charismatic now, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, he was a really nice guy back then, but he wasn't all that magnetic. But now? He's charisma incarnate! Some people argue that one of the reasons why his career didn't explode in the same way as Harrison Ford's is because of this. He didn't really start to develop a star-like presence until roughly the late 90s.

I have watched hours of his interviews, and his love of the OT, and gratitude to the fans is still strong after 40 years. I get really disgusted by actors who have a huge hit, and then want out to do "bigger things." As if entertaining millions isn't a big enough reward. Get over yourselves.

I loved him voice acting the Joker in Batman the animated series

That's life. When you think you know all but really you don't, you are a good young guy. But when life strikes you like a train, and you gain experience, you're capable of playing complex villains. I know that because I'm not young anymore.

Jakov shit i would have 100 kids running around. Come to think of it THANK GOD I DONT LOOK LIKE HIM!!

like in a glass box or.....??

D Thizz the car accident which sort of desfigurated his face was in 1978, this is '77

D Thizz car accident messed up his face. That is why they wrote in the script to empire stikes back of him getting attacked by the yeti thing. To explain away the scar

I’m confused. This doesn’t look like Mark Hamill before the accident. But it doesn’t look like Mark Hamill afterwards either

@Holden Mcgroine Would have been so. Much. Better.

@Holden Mcgroine unfortunately, jj abrams doesnt have the balls

Jimmy Infamous he took that money though didn’t he so...

It was probably by contract and he had NO IDEA what was going to happen to his character. They promised him he would have more meaning to the story so he agreed to it not knowing what was in store. I feel sorry for all the original cast. Abrams, Johnson (and the female writer, forgot her name) totally turned star wars into something its not and never should have been. Rogue One is a bit of the same and Solo should be removed from all streaming devices, DVDs burned and hammered. The Mandolorian so far is the best starwars we have so far

I think they took too much of a realistic approach tbh in the writing of Luke in TLJ. Cause when you look at Obi Wan Kenobi and everything he went through, losing his Master Qui Gon, all his Jedi brothers and sisters lost in the Clone Wars, then Order 66 and finally loosing Anakin who was like a brother to him. And yet he didnt become all depressed with like PTSD at the time of ANH. So yeh it just doesnt fit Luke's behaviour in TLJ. Also what doesnt add up is when you try to watch the Sequels together, Luke is all washed up and has been in that depressive state for like years, and then suddenly when Rey comes back to the Island planet in TROS, Luke's just like "I was wrong" and hes suddenly all churpy and okay, that just didnt add up to me, how quick his change of character is, but i know that was Abrams being brought back to try and "fix" things by that point. Whats also never added up to me is the whole issue of Luke activating his lightsaber in that little burst of like anger. Rian's explanation of that was that hes only "human" at end of the day and had "a moment of weakness". But im thinking Luke always knew about Snoke like his sister did, cause she was the one who brought Ben to Luke because of her concern about Snoke. So with Luke already being aware of Snoke, once he sensed the darkside creeping up in Ben, instead of going inside Ben's hut, why didnt Luke just seek out Snoke himself and confront him? Like nip that whole issue in the bud there and then. That feels more like something the REAL "Luke Skywalker" would do. It seems to me that the writers/directors of the Sequels just didnt do their homework properly and never fully fleshed out the backstories to all these characters.

I was only alive early enough to remember Return of the Jedi, and that movie alone was a huge phenomenon that year.

Hey man. This interview's quality came out because all video formats were shot on film, because digital didn't exist then. The Force Awakens was also shot on film, because film is a wonderful format that allows it to retain quality higher than the 4K digital resolutions that we have today, provided that the physical film itself is stored under good conditions. Hell, it's the exact same reason why all the re-released versions of the Original Trilogy are able to be played on Blu Ray! Hope I helped answer your question, and may the force be with you.

+일함 Not true at all. This interview was recorded on very expensive Video Tape. BBC used analog video for indoor shots and film for outdoors. You can clearly see the difference in a program from the 70's that was shot on video (eg All In The Family) vs one shot on film (ed Mary Tyler Moore). Video doesn't age the same way film does and because it has many of the same attributes as digital media, it transfers well. For next to nothing, video can look like it was shot recently, where film takes skill, time and money to restore to 21st Century standards. Shows like Dr. Who, Benny Hill and others used both video and film. The video segments look pristine, where the un-restored film often looks grainy and discolored.

Agreed. I knew this is video. Yet it's rare to see video from this era looks so good.

The BBC's studio video has always been state of the art - you can watch any 1970s+ studio BBC show (and the other two channels were using the same technology as well - so they were good too) .. it comes out really well.
