The amount of effort and passion the original creators put into Star Wars is exactly what's missing from the entitled Disney "Star Wars" staff today. It's why the originals were awesome and the new stuff totally sucks. Lazy, boring and disrespectful to the original art.

1:07 That's they made Landspeeder hover it self

今は殆どの映像がCGで作られるけど、昔の様に模型を使った特殊撮影の方が味があって俺は好きだな。

My only disappointment is they never showed the first Death Star arriving at Yaven coming out of light speed the same way the Imperial Star Destroyers did. I mean it wouldn't have been impossible to show it instead of it always looking like a static object. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdF6lZlzuJ3Hqps.html or kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcecd5ynkrnDnX0.html

Amazing low budget movies like mad max competed with big budget movies like star wars. I can imagine in future years they'll be a crossover

These guys are the real hero’s of my childhood without their talent Star Wars would not be

This movie had more true art in it that all of Europe produced in the last 100 Years.

ILM (1977-present) 1977: $20.3 billion 1980: $7.8 billion 1981: $553.1 million 1982: $1.1 billion 1988: $2.4 billion 1993: $1.7 billion 1997: $4.3 billion 2009: $5.6 billion 2019: $7.8 billion

58:25 this scene is what made me a star wars fan

This isn't cinema or art, son. It's literally heavy industry!

2:29 that whole "flying like a sun fish" and rotating cockpit would get revisited a few times, most recently by Ahsoka's Jedi spacecraft, where the "wing" rotates around the cockpit and center of the craft.

Still producing my own ships at home thru scratch-built. If George seen them he'd want them

It’s crazy that these special effects look better that most movies today

35:56 forgive my insufficient Star Wars canon knowledge but doesn’t Luke Skywalker know who Boba Fett is?

Watching these old school model makers one wonders if any of them had even a scintilla of the idea that they were not only creating a 6 decades long phenomenon but a toy revolution as well? Just now I was thinking about the incredible collection of Star Wars toys that my kid brother and I owned in the early 80’s. All I can think to say is “Thank you mom & dad. You really stepped it up on Christmases and birthdays”

The British 🇬🇧Three wheeler car was called a Bond Bug....great fun ❤🎉to drive .Owned one for ten years ..

Was there a guy in r2d2 or not

This was excellent. Thank you for putting this video together.

In short having budget problems makes people work smarter and harder lol

I always thought that At Ats were more horse or camel inspired, not dog.

I keep looking to see if theres a young Adam Savage in the backgrounds! I think he was there later though.

I'll always have more respect and admiration for the amount of love, care, attention and effort put into one single practical effects shot than an entire prequel film or marvel movie filled to the brim with CGI.

How they gonna do han like that in the cartoon. Why they draw him like that lol

How did they know, how did George get these model wizards to work on this film without really knowing what an influence it would have, almost 45 years later. ?

Those poor Star Wars cartoons were the worst animated drawings I ever saw at that time. We couldn't watch it, the drawing was just horrible and we always laughed how the biggest Franchise in the World at the time couldn't afford more than a few 2nd graders to draw their cartoons.

Concerning Leia's slave costume it looks like a Flash Gordon costume and like a Valerian (French comic) costume.

in 1977 in theaters people were blown away with that movie, so much new stuff came out. It was a revolution.

Right now I'm really missing all of my Star Wars toys, lol. Around the time of the 1997 rerelease and theatrical special editions I remember collecting a few main character "action figures" but the real regret is not holding on to all of the toy/model ships and space craft. I'm not a Star Wars fanatic to the degree that so many others seem to be, but I do remember coming to a certain realization awhile back: I was thinking about how only a few of the crafts or lesser featured characters names are actually stated within the dialogue of each movie, but yet we know the details & names of nearly every ship, object & location etc. used in every frame of these films, and only because of the popularity of toys, video games, books & magazines which made the fictional lore available to generations of interested fans. The marketing and inevitable consumerism is also the thing which allows a deeper understanding & appreciation for the fictional world that is so fundamental to popular culture. Simultaneously fascinating and depressing at the same time.

My friend,give me anything clean and new and I will airbrush it to look old and aged like fine wine.

Another amazing part of culture destroyed by modern day politicized Disney, can’t believe how they ruined it so badly, I knew it wouldn’t be like the classics but I thought they could atleast make something cool

Movies in 2024 could only wish they looked as good as ot starwars

As soon as you saw that seemingly immense imperial battle cruiser, scudding along thru black spAce with that deep, deep rumbling sound, right at the start of the original Star Wars movie, you knew this whole thing was going to be the best thing you’d ever seen in your 14 yr old boy’s life.

Whatever George Lucas did, Gerry Anderson did before that with his "AP Films" crew and Special Effects teams.

Ahh star wars from my generation.when it was amazing. And not a dumpster 🔥 😂.

Not sure about that weird cartoon break in the middle of an otherwise captivating documentary.

Hope everyone has a blessed year 😊 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Still the best trilogy ever. forget what came after..

how amazing

Thanks! Great to see all this in one place including the animated Boba Fett special (this is the first time I've seen it in full). Also, recently watching the 4K/blu ray Return of the Jedi bonus features, I'm pretty sure the 50:00 Leia Prisoner costume segment was left out and not on that disc of extras.

This is so exciting, watching How it all became , so fascinating

GOOD‼️TANKS❣️🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵⭐️‼️

A lot of hard work and Disney destroyed it ....... Lucas must be ....... !!!!

wooo true specialist

The cartoon straight up looks like Moebius.

I watched star wars at a birthday party. Drinking ketchup out of the bottle under a coffee table. That's how young I was. Empire came much later. But Rotj was my first cinema viewing. And every moment it etched onto my grey matter. I had no idea how long I took to make a scout walker trip on some logs. But at 50 (nearly) years old it's a revelation as to the effort of those who did 😢

Can't tell you how much it irks me that they put scenes from the re-releases into a video that is supposed to be about the effects featured in the *original* films.

I love that the whole company just stopped to watch them blow stuff up

Now let’s look at what Disney has created….oh that’s not a good idea. Let’s instead look at the innovation in filming sci-fi Disney has accomplished…wait that’s not a good idea either. Character developeme….oh forget it.

was one report to read that told the x wing was by some 70s formular 1 car haul desing copy , i like the idea . The death star looks like a 50-60s telemetri(comunitcation as radioconect distance) test satalit for teran orbit research.
