😆👌

OHH THATS WHY IT LOOKS SO WEIRD

Lucas had no idea at all in how to frame an image

Did you saw how is oriented in The Raise?

😂😂😂

"What are you doing with that restraining bolt, Han?"

Best zinger ever!

What are you doing, Darth...

🤣💦👍

Same feeling...

Ultra-violence

Isn’t that the truth.

I watched in 1.5x speed and it still felt like 3 hours.

Open the escape pod bay doors, please R2!

"You should not have come back old man. When I left you I was the learner. Now _I_ am the master." "Well let's see how you handle a Viennese waltz, Darth."

@@zacmumblethunder7466 Obi-wan and Vader having a classical dance off would be quite a sight.

Makes me wonder if Kubrick would have portrayed human politics and war as a dance throughout the movie.

Kinda gives me 5th Element vibes lol

@@l00k4tstuff We have a good example of how he'd treat it - Dr. Strangelove. He definitely viewed it in a very farcical fashion. Honestly, it's not that crazy to think that a Star Wars directed by Kubriock would end up looking slightly like Spaceballs.

That is an impressive and creative spin. Loved the detail. What a fun reimagining! Good music too.

That's why I loved the reimagine Battlestar Galactica. The spaceships actually behaved liked spaceships and not fighter jets flying around.

So, you mean Star Trek TOS or TNG...

You have good taste.

Most definitely!

I know. I'm in love with that scene...

Not a voice over, it was dubbing.

1968 must have been absolute hell if that's what an 8 year old kid did... god dammit, I'm so sorry for the trauma your generation suffered.

@@partciudgam8478 dude... he saw 2001 in the theater on purpose. he's suffered enough to excuse just about any mistake like that.

Funny when you consider that Stuart Freeborn designed both the ape masks for 2001 and the Chewbacca mask for Star Wars.

@@sumdumbmick As opposed to the reduced mental capacity and lacklustre humour signifying your own generation? Seriously, my sympathies.

The choice of classical music was made by a projectionist during the screening of dailies. Kubrick liked the idea and discarded the original composed score.

@@aliensoup2420 Actually, it was Kubrick who picked Strauss as the temp track for the space place sequence, but yeah he decided that he like Blue Danube better than the composed score and the rest is history.

Hmmm... What if he would used Chaikovskiy Nutcracker?)))

The waltz made a lot of sense with the dance of the space station and shuttle docking as a precisely orchestrated dance.

First time I ever heard the Blue Danube in a semblance of its entirety. I was 11 or 12 when we saw the movie. Been in love with it ever since.

Well the first 9 minutes would have been a black screen.

@@wrongway1100 Absolutely true! 😸😸😸

The first two minutes would have been a black screen with creepy Ligeti music, then a yellow print 20th Century Fox logo against a blue background as “Also Sprach Zarathustra” starts playing, then it would be the opening (which is the Also Sprach Zarathrustra music with Tatooine and the Death Star), and this would go on for another two minutes, and then we would get a 15 minute prologue about the Wookiees learning to use tools from bones, and then we would get this scene (which would go on for like 15 minutes)

Did you notice the eerie similarity between the "space shuttle docking with the space station, as seen from inside the station" scene in _2001_ ... and the "Millennium Falcon being drawn into the Death Star's docking bay" scene in _Star Wars_?

You watched BOTH in cinema !?!?!?! You have my highest envy dear Sir/Madam...

WE BRAKE FOR NOBODY

@John Ashley Well, the cosmonauts on the ISS say that in space, _everyone_ can hear you fart.

@@davidwuhrer6704 Right!👍🤣🤣

Blasphemy!

@@davidwuhrer6704 LOL, Spaceballs

When George Lucas was trying to get more money out of Twentieth Century Fox to complete the movie, he put together a rough cut of what he'd filmed so far and used footage from Second World War movies such as The Battle of Britain and The Dambusters to stand in for the effects shots that hadn't been done yet. That seems to have locked in the Star Wars concept of there being an up and down in space.

@@zacmumblethunder7466 there is at least one instance of 3d movement in Star Wars During the chase sections in Empire (when the Star Destroyers almost collide), the Millennium Falcon turns downwards, retreating to what would be nadir from their point of view There might be other examples, but not that I can immediately recall It's certainly not the norm in SW, which is why it always stood out to me

@@347Jimmy : Yeah, even with no less than the Space Epic _Star Wars_ [1977], we Earthlings still tend to think in 2D, relative to 3D outer space. Hm, stands to good reason, whatwith being indigenous to the 1G of gravity our Earth affords. Of course our skies are more 3D, but plenty to crash 'n smash into, unlike outer space.

I had hoped they wouldn't only flip around to move to the music, but to perform an orbit entry burn at the same time. Missed opportunity.

@@zacmumblethunder7466 There is an up and down in space, depending on the definition ofc. Either up and down a gravity well, or up is where the north poles of the celestial bodies are pointing at. Workes for any solar system, as most bodys will be rotating the same way due to the conservation of momentum from the dust cloud it formed from. North is where the bodies move counter clockwise around the star and the bodies will rotate counter clockwise. I just made this up, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone defined it this way as it seems to make sense for me ;D

hahah ..I was thinking the exact same thing when i saw that scene .. Good point ..

Thats what I thought when first seeing the film in 1978. As well as how much smaller the Blockade runner was.

more like 15. probably like 7-8 movies for the original trilogy. 😆

Gave me more of a Terry Gilliam vibe at that moment haha. Was expecting a slo-mo laser fight with the calm music.

They should have been floating. C3PO and R2 look like they are waltzing together 😂😂🤣🤣

All the slo-mo could be Zack Snyder …

Why not? Maybe one day 👍

I second this - it's stunning, to say the least ! :)

I remember an article Gerry Anderson wrote in "Look In" comic when Star Wars came out. He heavily criticised Star Wars for the way the space ships raced around, which he felt was unrealistic to how actual spacecraft would move. As a judgemental 14 year old I thought it was sour grapes because people had been saying how much better the effects were in SW than in Space 1999. I later realised that Anderson felt that the innovative work that he and his effects people, many of whom actually worked on Star Wars, were being disparaged unfairly. If it hadn't been for the techniques Century 21 had developed, Star Wars would have had very little to build on when the space battles were being visualised.

@@zacmumblethunder7466 I dunno if you watch this channel below, I came across this the other day and you might find this interesting considering the Anderson angle you brought up. I won't spoil the video but it has an interesting connection between Space 1999 and Star Wars. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJd_nMVhq8_DnWg.html

@@tomstamford6837 I've only recently started watching, so thanks for pointing that one out. I shall relay the 1999 Eagle +1 and bigger = Millennium Falcon to my friend who's also into this with haste. I remember being very disappointed in Gerry's attitude towards Star Wars and the way in some articles he seemed to want to distance himself from the puppet shows. Years later, I read his obituary in Starburst magazine and it was really sad to realise that the man who's work was such a large part of my childhood felt that he'd never got a chance to show his full potential as a filmmaker.

I will present your compliments to the rendering engine... I think he will appreciate it very much 😉

@@poakwoods It was *you* who set up the lighting! Give the credit to whom it is due.

Space ships are a real thing. Space ships with keels bobbing around on the space waves, coming to a dead stop when the engines are stopped, and drifting if they aren't moored to space buoys or space ports, are pure fantasy though.

That's from _Return of the Jedi._. The emperor was not in the original film.

Well, you can also subscribe…

I didn't see _Shape of Things to Come_ in there, just _2001_ and some fantasy film.

@@poakwoods Indeed, I have happily subscribed and shared with many friends. 🙂

I was the perfect age to love 2001:ASO; 14. Total nerd teenager, infected by Star Trek.

If they don't, what differentiates them from fiction without science?

Anthony Daniels said it took 103 takes to get him to turn his head just right.

"It's a conspiracy!"

Too kind... thanks

I just retired... time is not a problem, now... 😉

BLASPHEMY! AT THE STAKE!!!! 😂

In think _Europa Report_ is better in some ways, but the time jumps and expecting the audience to be familiar with the concept of manned space flight (which has been a real thing since the 12th of April 1961, how is this still new to anyone) can be confusing. So the story telling is smoother in _2001,_ but most people still don't understand what the contact scene means. (To be fair, visualising multi-dimensional space, and being turned into something there is no word for which the original human being is only a fraction of, is difficult to depict, although _Lucy_ gave it a fair shot.)

Snap! And true!

😂😂😂 👍
