"From a certain point of view" is doing some serious heavy lifting.

"Hey man what year is it?" "Oh it's... 12 before battle of yavin" "What's the battle of yavin..." "I... I don't KNOW..."

I always assumed "e chu ta" translated to "eat sh*t" 😂

I am sleeping to this like it's a bedtime story. Thank you Alex and Mollie for being the positive light in the Star Wars KZfaq community!

Three dots to denote a possible continuation is called an 'ellipsis' and is a recognised punctuation mark. Four dots is wrong, and a good type-setter corrected the mistake.

I really like the idea of Luke tricking the guards into thinking that they’re being choked at Jabba’s Palace. It legitimately seems like something Jedi like Luke and Qui-Gon would do

now it's prequel time

I know what I will be watching during the weekend with a nice glass of wine. Wow... thank you Alex and Molly for being the best Star Wars channel.

Lars is afraid that luke will end up as a sad old man drinking milk.

Man, the "Han shot first" debate: The shots take place after the exchange "He may only take your ship." "Over my dead body." "That's the idea. I've been looking forward to this for a long time." This takes place while Greedo has Han at gunpoint. Han would be STUPID to wait for a second longer.

The 'Theta' class dropship can carry 4 AT-ATs and 8 AS-STs in one trip. There are other dropships/ landing barges that can carry numerous combinations of vehicles and walkers.

24:07 Something most people forget... these are supposed to be modern telling of stories being told about people and events far far away, and a long long time ago, thus their languages and most idioms are being translated into something understandable to this audience. So an X-Wing, in our language, evokes a look, it may not be a literal translation, but something that evokes that shape to the people as it was then/there.

You better believe I'm gonna watch this whole thing even though I watched all the individual ones.

Bravo 👏🏼 I can only imagine the research you had to do to make this one great job

Obi Wan not knowing Anakin was alive is such a plot hole as you can see him hearing Anakin be called Vader in revenge of the sith

Next up: Biggest PT and ST Questions ANSWERED

The most memorable part about going to see the Star Wars Special Editon was when the entire theater started booing when Greedo shot first. Changing that scene was completely unnecessary 👎👎👎

I always thought the protocol droid that C3PO sees in Cloud City before getting blasted was saying "INTRUDER!"

Woot nice this is gonna be a good one to leave on in as ambient background. Also been noticing a lot of salty comments in the shorts uploads of these individual questions complaining about the point of it all when George never came up with it from 1977-1983. How come all of a sudden its a problem when this franchise has existed for almost 50 years?

Of course the emperor knew she was pregnant. He was sending Anikin dreams of her dying in child birth

18:31 I personally like the idea that for the dual on the death star, the two of them had known each other for so long faced each other, so many times and were aware of each other styles that it was more of a psychological battle. You will see experienced swordsman facing each other where the battle is over very quickly when somebody finds an opening or somebody else makes a mistake.

This is such high quality content. Like what a great collection of answers to just have on hand for arguments 😂

0:57 … “hold your fire? What are we? Paying by the laser blast now?” “You don’t do the budget Terry, I do!” 1:29 had to time stamp this classic sample

The real reason they didn't shoot the escape pod is because YOU DON'T DO THE BUDGET TERRY, I DO!

Thank you for joining us today, Firmus Piett. You are interviewing today for the open position that we have in the Security Department here on Axxila. After reviewing your resume, you were a former Admiral in the Imperial Navy? "Yes." What are your greatest strengths/weaknesses? "I'm a very experienced and able officer, as you can see on my resume. That would be my greatest strength. Weaknesses? Well, I hate working with bounty hunters. I just like to know where a person's loyalties lie before I work with them." How would your previous co-workers describe you? "I was Admiral Kendal Ozzel's personal confidant on many occasions as he was my superior before I served as Admiral on the Executor. He would describe me as loyal, dead pan and blunt at times, but with a dark sense of humor." Tell me something about yourself that isn’t on your resume. "Well, I have excellent survival skills, that's for sure. In one such incident in the past, I was serving as Fleet Admiral in the Imperial Navy when a fighter pilot actually, purposefully flew into the bridge of the Executor, causing the Executor to veer out of control and crash into Death Star II. To this day, I can't believe my luck, but I was able to fall off the dias, scramble off the bridge and get out in an escape pod. I thought I did pretty well all of those years serving Lord Vader and the Emperor directly." Tell me about a past difficult work situation. How did you overcome it? "Lord Vader had replaced Admiral Ozzel and Captain Viett, and I had only just began to serve under him, and there was this particular incident when we were in orbit over Bespin near one of their mining colonies. Lord Vader specifically directed me to deactivate the hyper-drive on a contraband YT freighter. My team did it - I verified the order myself - but in a key moment, the ship got away to hyper-drive as we were readying our tractor beam. I was frozen in shock, and to this day, I have no idea how that happened. But Lord Vader kept me as Admiral, and I overcame my daily fear at first by indulging in my lifetime love of Axxilian Negronis, but I'm happy to say that I'm 3 years sober." Describe a time when you had to work with someone whose personality or work style was very different from yours. "Lord Vader was a very curious fellow at times. One time I even saw him without his helmet, although it was from the rear, but he seemed to have a barely controlled rage about him, and you always had to remain on your toes and be as punctual as possible with him. I demanded a great deal of preparation from my team during that time to have the most flexibility for anything to happen, and to be ready for any order to be given. I basically did whatever he told me." Very well! We expect to fill the position soon and we'll be in touch. "Thank you."

*Why did Han Solo have a Jedi Training Remote?* Me: "Oh who's says its his? Obi-wan probably had one for his own training and knew he needed it for Luke" Star Wars Writer: "WRONG! Here is my page long back Story about this minor Prop"

Recently discovered your videos and am loving them. Thank you for your awesome work. Just spent the month of March rewatching every single Star Wars DVD I own while recovering from surgery, now I feel the need to rewatch the original trilogy yet again ...

Sir Alec Guinness really done favours, the video "Obi Wan has PTSD" where his talk with Luke about his father and it cut together with prequel footage really shows how good he was as an actor

Such a good video, as always, thanks Alex and Molly!!!

Padme also used an English accent, after she revealed her true identity to the Gun Gun's leader. Like right before Maul's awesome entrance...she shouts.."Get to your ships" with a britches accent. Always found it weird she spoke like that AFTER everyone found out who the real Queen on Naboo was.

Yoda "liked" helping younglings.... Can't wait for Star Wars: Operation Yew tree...

2:43 Now we need a series of three (or four) trilogies explaining why Uncle Owen “simply doesn’t care”. GIT ON IT DISNEY!

12 parsecs quote is related to how close he went by the Maw, cluster of black holes. He was fast enough to skip around and not get sucked in.

Thank you for answering these questions from canon, legends, and realistic standpoints.

I loved this video. Didn't skip a single piece. I rewatched several segments over. The comments have added great value to an immediately instant necessity for Star Wars fans, serious or casual. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

This is the first time I've seen your channel and I just watched an hour+ video from cover to cover. Definitely subscribing right now.

Moral of the story... don't fakkk with peoples reputations. Great message Mate! Can't wait to see all the people he's screwed, vindicated!!! 😁👍

For those who are interested, there is a fanfic re-creation of Vader vs Kenobi on the death star to be found here on youtube and it's pretty great!

thanks for the ride, that was really nice. It's so simply easy to see that when the movies are great there are no bigger questions asked.

skywalker being a common name is really funny to me

Ok, the Force choke motivational speech was truly inspirational 😅 - Din

I wanna know why Padme acts like a completely different character when she's wearing the Queen outfit lmao. British accent, talks like a robot. It's strange 😂😂

No you're wrong, the wire going up Alec Guinness's robe sleeve wasn't in hopes the blade lit during filming. The blade had movie screen on a tri-sided pole. That wire was connected to a motor that spin the pole. Obi-Wan would draw his saber, "Cut" support team would come in and add the pole. "Action" Lucas would resume filming. The pole would spin and catch the light and the post-production did their roto-scoping. The wire was confirmed by Mark Hamill in a video where a collector presented Mark with his hero prop from ROTJ.

I personally loved his movies and antics on screen. God bless his soul

These four brothers make me cry everytime I watch this masterful masterful masterful😢😅😊

It's the humility that gets to my heart strings with the majority Olof these war stories. That and the common sense that seems so natural. I am awe struck at every single one of these stories. Thanks

Boba Fett sees Han's hiding trick before.

That was one of the best videos about star wars I ever watched. Such a great piece of content to listen to while driving or in the background ❤ That's a subscribe!

0:00 this is where the fun begins

Kessel Run may have been more of an obstacle course than a race from A to B.

6:40 - In the novel he also looks at R2 While luke was talking to Han and says to him "It's been a long time, Old friend."

"As clumsy as he is stupid". Stupid for spying on vader/ the empire, clumsy for getting caught.

"E CHU TA" Translated to what that old lady said to the new sheriff in Blazing Saddles.

Sorry, but Palpatine himself has stated that Anakin would never be able to perform Sith lightning due to his debilitating injuries sustained on Mustafar, which included the loss of his only remaining organic arm. The ability to use force lightning is vastly different than improvising in a fistfight due to having only one arm.

That extra dot on the crawl would've put them over budget ;)

Its funny that a book like Heir to the Jedi answered so many random questions

I believe Kenobi said Yoda was the Jedi who taught him meaning taught him to become a Force ghost

GUYS!!! Take a chug of ur Blue Milk every time you hear "From a certain point of view.."! im so Din Ferik'd rn!!

Excellent video! Thank you, Alex and Mollie!

Oh boy, it's 'Biggest Questions ANSWERED' Prequal Trilogy edition time!

@30:51 Being a Warhammer fan, I straight up thought of the Warp. I had no idea that Chaos was a thing in Star Wars; albeit in not the same way.

Let's compose ourselves and not complicate this compilation.

So what's the "From a Certain Point of View"-gymnastics answer for Luke and Ben having zero problem in telling two helpless droids the entire Empire is looking for to "wait outside" when they're refused service? A New Hope should have ended when they exit the cantina and the droids are gone forever.

Very informative! Thanks :)

"Who shot first?" In the Lego Skywalker Saga video game one of the missions in Mos Eisley is interviewing eyewitnesses and reporting to Stormtroopers. It's 50/50.

There are many instances in the literary EU that reference hyperspace tracking/pursuit by taking note of a ship's trajectory and jumping right behind on the same vector. A technician listens for the hyperspace wake, like sonar on a submarine to be sure they are following, and hits the hyperdrive kill switch when he hears the target ship sounds like its dropping out of hyperspace. It takes lots of training and skill to be good at it. If you are not in pursuit and just monitoring a ship, you can also take note of the trajectory and accurately guess where they are headed based on the lane they have to be traveling on. A tactic to ambush them then would be the send ships in a chain of hyperspace exits so someone comes out near enough to the target to see them on the realspace tracking sensors. You can jump in any random direction to escape, but it must be a very short jump to ditch the pursuers... a la light speed skipping... before a calculated path must be chosen, cus as Han says you can jump into a star or black hole or something if you do not use proper calculations. The light speed skip is a tactic that is described in canon. You make a couple short random jumps to hide which way you are really going cus, like I said, there are only so many clear lanes and possible exit points because of objects and gravity wells and an ambusher could accurately guess where you are headed. But the odds of light speed skipping to 3 random places like in the movie would be highly unlikely. And your hyperdrive motivator would drop you out of hyperspace before you came near enough to be within a planet's atmosphere when you came out. And it wouldn't let you jump back out so near a gravity well. So the way its done in TROS is impossible. Most long hyperspace trips did require multiple stops and course changes to get across the galaxy without running into something. Though its not really the object you collide with, but the displacement in space-time its mass/gravity creates. In hyperspace you are not on this dimensional plane, so small objects like asteroids and other ships you pass right through. But the gravity shadow of massive objects can be collided with. The Holdor Manuever... its the space-time disruption that destroyed the star destroyer, not the matter of the ship jumping into it. It would be somewhat difficult to pull off because if you jump too early you pass right through and your wake disipates. Jump too late and you just crash into the target, and a ship that size, it wouldnt have been a killing blow, just a hole in the hull. It's gotta be timed just right. And there is a possibility Holdor survived. For reals. Though most likely, her ship broke up from thr disruption as well, and it and her corpse will be hurtling through hyperspace til it eventually gets pulled into a gravity well.

That ball attack Vader uses, is homaged in his Soul Calibur 4 moveset.

Re: C-3PO knowing Leia - 3PO literally says, at about the 3 minute mark "there'll be no escape for the princess this time" while the ship is being boarded. Of course he knows who she is.

Can’t we just agree that a bunch of these were just film-making choices? 😂

"The other" was an addition to help introduce Leia as a heroine figure... I have personally seen the original storyboards in which Luke didn't actually exist. In the very first rendition of the arc story Leia was meant to be the hero figure but when the scripts were sent to be analyzed for their chance of success; it was reported in the 70's that a super strong female character would not have been successfully marketed to the mass populace, so George was forced to create a male figure using an alteration of his last-name Lucas to "Luke" and Skywalker was the last name of the original owner of the ranch George purchased in Marin County.... so naturally in the sudden creation of a male character, Luke Skywalker became the obvious choice, thus increasing the success of the story arc during a time in society when male-based heroes were much more marketable. Afterwich George didn't see a point in eliminating her character since he had so much invested in her and simply changed the vector of her involvement, but then in the later stories she shows her high-end force capabilities which she used to stay alive in space.

Thanks again, Alex! 🧾

Great job!

44:30 I’m surprised you didn’t mention that Kylo Ren and Snoke visited the cave, with Kylo demolishing it after he saw visions of him and Luke clashing

In the original audiobooks, Luke is heard building his lightsaber. He is frustrated that he can't get it right, until he remembers what Yoda had said to him about letting the Force guide him, instead of trying to force it to work.

Let's just not forget that "A new Hope" wasn't the original name when episode 4 came out, it ws simply called "Star Wars", and all the changes like Greedo shooting first (it was Han originally) and Anakin appearing as force ghost plus a few others where made in the nineties after the prequels came out. To make more sense.

You don't think Darth Vader would've taken Obiwan's lightsabre? WHAT?!

Question: Are _Tales from Jabba's Palace_ and _Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina_ no longer considered canon? Great video! I just bought _Star Wars From A Certain POV_ . Looks like fun!

An easy fix would've been to establish the Kessel run had several routes and the shortest route was notoriously an extremely treacherous and dangerous run. Perhaps it could've been a pilot's tradition to debate who's ship could make it through the twelve parsec route

1:14:32. Wrong it wasn’t “The Bothens”. It was one guy…. Manny Bothens

I always wanted to know where Porkins was suppose to go. His ship, during the Death Star attack, starts to break up & Biggs tells him to "Eject"! Where in the cold vacuum of space was he suppose to go? Land on the surface of the D Star, find a maintenance hatch & knock asking if Darth can come out to play?

What I don’t understand is, in episode 4 when the falcon is arriving at the Death Star, a camera view shows storm troopers in the death star trench, so how do they not float off and die in space

I saw the movie in the theater when it first came out and Han shot first. I also have the original dvd set and it shows it there too. Lucas admitted in an interview he changed it when the movie was released again in the 90s

Yoda definitely trained for 800 years. Grogu's timeline being 50 years old and being a "baby" doesn't make sense. Some turtles can live to be 200 but they're still fully mature between 5-8 years. In retrospect, Yoda was written first so the Grogu argument doesn't hold any merit.

Vader could use force lightening, he had the ability to use Red force lightning which is said to destroy the victims literal connection to the force, but due to his cybernetic body it was risky for him to use.

When you made the comment about dialing back Luke’s actions with the title change from “revenge” to “return of the Jedi”, it implies that the title is referring to Luke, it isn’t, the title “Jedi” that is “returning” is Anikan not luke, just like “revenge of sith” was him becoming Vader, “return of the Jedi” was him coming back, even if it was his final dying act, it literally saved the universe, it was the culmination of the 6 film story, Anikan was always the central character, which is what made it so cool and 🤯🤯 and such a great story arc

If the Death Star have the size of "a small moon" maybe there was already a little bit of gravity naturally due to the weight, and since the gravitation generators are a real thing in the Star Wars universe, they just needed to install one on the Death Stars to mimic the gravity you can have on an Earth size planet.

I would say you had the grogu being 50 backwards on Yoda age, that would mean unless some magic growth spirt as you mentioned Yoda is far older than 900, if 50 still infant Yoda race likely lives closer from 1,500 to 2000 years. He likely said the teaching for 900 years as that is when he became a jedi master and began teaching jedi, already half way through his life either as a jedi Palawan and knight or maybe jedi whole life and adulthood was 900 years ago or so. Either way grogu if 50 years already indicates the race likely lives far longer than 900 years.

The medal one: I always figured that the big reason Leia honored them was because they rescued her on the Death Star. Wedge wasn’t there.

1:20:13 there are just two bearded commandos on the mission. That could work.

Re Echo base being a base, I think it's also fairly clear that the Rebellion are still fairly new to the base and so haven't organized everything properly yet

Damn, Ret-Con A-Go-Go! (Great video, tho!)

In the Star Wars role playing game one adventure involved going to a space junkyard and going onto a large surviving chunk of the Death Star and it included Vader's quarters which was where Obi-wan's lightsaber was being kept.

There is an in universe explanation about Han stating that the Falcon made the Kessel Run in 12 par secs that makes more sense then bragging. Hyperspace lanes have specific routes that you take. Vessels are also equipped with gravity well indicators that would drop vessels out of Hyperspace to prevent them from slamming into planets. The gravity wells in the Maul would pull ships out of Hyperspace, so safe routes were made around it. So...Han turned off his gravity well indicator and took his own route through the Maul. The "normal" Kessel Run is over 12 par secs. But "Han's" route was under 12 parsecs, because he took chances that allowed him to evade pursuit.

What I want to know is why, with all the changes in 1997, didn't they fix the location of the superlaser in the pre-battle PowerPoint.

Once read many years ago that George Lucas claimed that Luke and Leia had 21 years old in "A new hope", not 19.

UNINTENDED IRONY DEPT. In the novelization of Return of the Jedi, when Obi Wan tells Luke, I sent you to live with my brother Owen on Tatooine. Takes place on get this,, PAGE 66 lol. In paperback format at least. Never perused the hardcover.

Uncle owen maybe didn't recognize C3PO, but the robot would remember him and tell him who he was. especially knowing the farm.

Senator Organa had the droids memory banks wiped didn’t he?

What a time to be alive

for the record VADER IS UNABLE TO USE FORCE LIGHTNING. he does not have the knowledge to use it and his suit is specifically designed by palpatine to be easily overloaded by electric discharge. it was a built in fail-safe to ensure under no circumstances could vader defeat palpatine and take control. it was a guaranteed mutal destruction situation.
