@ClandestineOstrich Sabriel needs it too

same here

Do what thing?

@@johnmartin2436 Explain why people love Star Wars so much.

its almost line for line from his older star wars video

They're not lost. They're still up on the Cinemassacre site. This is just a condensed version.

brandon henry Yeah that's what I was thinking because he says almost the exact same words and examples in the old one

That was 7 years ago!? fuck me

He's been repeating a lot of things in his videos in recent years, like he can't remember everything he's ever mentioned before.

Rocky, Godzilla, Ghostbusters, TMNT, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Terminator...

+George Zhang "Space ships shoot lasers. Boom!"

George Zhang you need to watch cowboy bebop. or you are probably a fan or am I nuts?

Big scary animals, background galore, and men firing light from their hands.

And Incest!

Jar-Jar is the key to all of it.

And Peter Mayhew Edit: sigh... and now David Prowse.

In other words...a hero with a thousand faces ;)

Cyberdemon1542 Exactly!

Star Wars is rooted more in Arthurian mythology than anything else.

@@evertonporter7887,remember Tao ism?

What?

Favorite it is of mine.

Believe it or not, Legendary film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert did a special in 1983 about the original Star Wars trilogy. Most of James' analysis is similar to Siskel and Ebert's. It's a mixture of old storytelling and then-new special effects. That's what's great about the original trilogy. Reply

TRY I WILL.

mason salt do or do not There is no try

Lets watch the masterpiece "The Star Wars holiday Special"

Same

I have to say, I'm probably one of the biggest Star Wars fans out there. :P

Ive been watching AVGN since I was 12 or so and would have never gotten into NES games without you Here's to 10 seasons James!

Cinemassacre great analysis that was Amazing

oh god

how come this comment only has 10 likes

I would say yes It just depends

Ayy boundary break man.

Wow!

Micah Buzan well movies is his true nerd self not the video game side. the man know a scary amount of things about movies.

Shy Guy yeah, I see what you did there. "...scary amount." You. You're good you. (ESPECIALLY horror movies)

Couldn't say it better! Smart Nerd!

Okay I wanna see a cameo of calm smart James in an AVGN review

Hell, even the prequels managed to pull that off too.

@@wchan39 I always loved the prequels but I do feel that it also could have been a different middle movie about the clone wars would been great. But we now have clone wars so it does not matter

Master Skywalker yea I agree I’d really wish attack of the clones was handled much better. I enjoy the prequels (almost entirely on nostalgia) but I don’t think they are great or even “good” movies by any means. I do think the trilogy would help a lot tho if aotc focused more on anakins relationship with obi wan and fixed up the time it had to make us care about padme. It’s hard to give a shit about a romantic story when your dialogue sounds like it’s being directed by a tone deaf old man. Also if obi wan and anakin showed some tough love instead of constantly nagging and acting like a divorced couple the whole move it wouldn’t feel so weird when they are like best friends in revenge of the sith.

Does the sequel trilogy even have a story?

wchan39 The Phantom Menace isn’t really necessary. I would’ve preferred Episode 1 to be Attack of the clones and introduce Anakin with episode II being the clones wars and episode III the same with revenge of the sith

*and bodyguard to wheelchair guy on Clockwork Orange Too!*

The original trilogy was fantastic.

Japeth321 "Im not just a blue elephant"

Japeth321 fuck you

Japeth321 have you seen robot chicken Max rebo band?!

"Blue Elephant" is ok.

Also he officially does not have any arms. Those things he uses to play the piano are his feet.... and yes thats canon

Yes, the music is a huge part of it.

The music is awsome

We owe a lot to John Williams.

DarthMohammed I actually prefer the score for the director's cut, which was by Jerry Goldsmith. The Tangerine Dream score of the theatrical cut was a nightmare.

@The Zaius I don't agree at all. The Tangerine Dream soundtrack totally fits the mood of that movie better in my opinion, and it seems most of that movies fans agree.

I like the prequels a lot more than the originals. Every movie in the original and prequel trilogies was better than the one preceding it. I haven't seen Force Awakens yet, but I suspect it'll break the pattern.

theuncalledfor The Force Awakens is awesome. It's worth a watch

Plex Winger Oh, I'm definitely going to watch it sometime. And having low expectations means I'm less disappointed if I think it sucks, and get to be positively surprised if I like it.

theuncalledfor I went to see it in the theaters back in December 16 2015. And it was AMAZING! The Force Awakens is my third favorite Star Wars movie. Right behind A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back

Plex Winger Well, seeing as those are my _least_ favourite Star Wars movies, it seems we're looking for different things in movies. I'll still give it a try, of course, though.

You don't get out much, do you?

Max Rebo is my favorite Star Wars Action Figure.

Don't feel bad, rebo is probably my second favorite, next to solacious crumb.

Did yall know the type of music they play is called Jizz?

KappaBara Got his original figure on my desk, he's a legend.

I'm a huge star Wars fan... But I only support Star Wars I-VI... that is THE END! :D

***** I don't think so,maybe you should watch them again, make sure it's the 2012 remaster, if they made another prequel remaster that would be awesome.

Amen to that.

Nelson Guerrero funny you reply, at this moment in watching episode 2

hghh Suck on THAT, Star Trek!

Marco Polo Just cuz they were badly executed films doesnt mean that there arent interesting concepts in it. Original trilogy was a fun watch but ideologically and thematically very traditional/orthodox. Prequels seeked to delve into the greyer areas more but had a hard time conveying it because they didnt handle their characters properly

Well said, thumbs up sir!

hghh fuck you

Rian Johnson didn’t read that before making LJ

one hundred percent agree with this. Harmy's Despecialized Editions are far and away the best version to watch.

I own the theatrical cuts on DVD, so I'm already set.

I just prefer the Special Editions myself. Really, except for the Jabba scene (which is redundant and contradicts the Greedo scene), I consider them improvements

Turrican4D They are ultra rare though. Great collectors items, along with being the only time the theatrical cuts were released on disk officially.

GZilla2010 Yeah but they are shitty looking laserdisc scans tacked on as a bonus feature afterthought lol and the aspect ratios are all whacked out...

Nathaniel Larkin treasure it if the original unedited versions.

Jozhster I was talking about the special effects documentary. 😂 But, yeah I also have the original trilogy on VHS.

*1997 Editions with glorious surround sound folks!*

*Mickey Mouse game*

+knight147fighte exactly what I'm saying lol

knight147fighte it's the special edition; complete with digitally enhanced ads!

It's stylistically designed to be that way.

Samuel Terry We can diminish the effects of it

ziljin It's because he's from Jersey. That's how people around and in NY speak

ziljin listen to how he speaks in general. I'm Californian and I speak noticeably different

Yeah, they also say stuff like "hahrrible (horrible), farrest (forest), and ahringe (orange). They're strange folk.

Pahk the cah in the yahd.

Nah, I lawst the cah in the hahrribly-ahringe fahrest.

billy andrews cocaine is a helluva drug?

+hrbie84 I'm high on coke right now, James is very entertaining when you're high as fuck.

Have you ever edited videos? It can take a very long time and you can be up late at night.

Obi Wan Cannoli ...I can use a bump...😞

billy andrews Good question

@@GameyRaccoon It's space fantasy.

Now I better understand why even though I had never seen any of the Star Wars movies before in complete, I was able to predict the plot of Episode 7 so easily.

Me too.

I still have mine... somewhere.

The only terrible that the prequel has, is that Lucas, being the one with the original plot's idea, totally screwed how Anakin's downfall came to be. It contradicts several points in the original trilogy, and although in some way he made the connection between episodes 3 and 4, the plot could have been way better. The elements of storytelling, music, picture, inventing new worlds, species and vehicles, were totally spot on, unlike what we have now...

Goran, not from a certain point of view.... Anakin’s past is only referred to a few times in the original trilogy, and without much specificity. Although the prequels are far from perfect, I am still generally impressed and accepting of the Anakin prequel arc, especially as to how it used his mother and Padme as the hinges around which his force allegiance pivoted.

@@Keithustus the downfall was very clear, Palpatine manipulated his visions of Padmé dying when giving birth. Other past is irrelevant to that point, and I was referring about that. It wasn't necessary to use the "look how naive he was, that means he's not really bad" argument. He could've been ambitious, and yet being redeemed by his son. But everything's done now, no matter to dwell in the past.

Goran....did you post that into the correct comment thread? I didn’t see anyone making an argument about him being naive. My only point is that Anakin in episodes 2 and 3 is a gradual downfall based on his higher emotionality than what the Jedi council wants. His false visions from Palpatine are far from the whole story.

He's probably trying to create KZfaq versions of those videos, but changing them to not be the same exact thing, and honestly I like hearing James talk so I don't really care.

The Rocky video wasn't the same as before.

actually he is James...

A little lapsus :P

And the guy with the tentacle wrapped around his head is Bib Fortuna...

Not anymore :(

Luke I am your father I'm also a scorpion

Sailor Paladina That, sir, was an awesome reference

InterHalfer not as much as Buck Rogers

You guys won't even bring up star trek. I guess I am truly forever alone

Star Trek HQ because it wasnt an influence in star wars like the others. mike and James talk about trek all the time. if you think trek and wars are similar, you're not the trek fan you think you are.

Fair point. But what my point was that the practical effects of star trek influenced the original effects of a new hope (one example would be how they made the millennium falcon effects) In no way is the plot or feel of the movie the same.

Dune was influenced by Darkover very much too

it was made by the same guy who did the 2014 film.

+Elijah Blechman Makes sense

I'm pretty sure he'd be okay with either or both.
