This video shows how Abrams,Kathleen Kennedy, and Disney failed to understand and ruined StarWars with their callous creation of FORCE HEALING. If that were possible NOTHING in these movies would have ever happened. Quigon would have lived,Anakin would not have become Darth Vader,Vader would not have died after killing the Emperor...and think of all the deaths that could have been avoided during the Clone Wars with Jedi force healing...smh...George Lucus selling to Disney 😢..murder.

I still remember a time as a child in 1983 when I saw this on PBS knowing it might be the last source of Star Wars footage ever. Then came Ewok Movies and Saturday Morning Cartoons. Then came the Prequels. Then came the new cartoons. Then came Disney. Maybe I was right in 1983.

13:08: Now that A.I. tech has been able to isolate John Lennon’s voice for the new Beatles song, could it be done to do the same for this track (which is in the film but was never released), by removing Mark’s voice and other sounds?

I have always been curious to hear what 1983 George Lucas would say about the prequels.

@tyrannozilla 3 ай бұрын

I think he'd still make them mostly the way they turned out (maybe with a few differences, since the lore was still developing in his mind at the time).

@zoetropeguardian Ай бұрын

He'd be thrilled as the technology he helped develop finally caught up to what he originally wanted Star Wars to be. If you read Jonathan Rinzler's Making Of books you can read first hand how miserable he was making them because of the limitations of not being able to fully realise his vision. I'm glad he got to make his films the way he wanted them as it's all about telling story with him versus a corporate product like it has become under Disney.

i have a question: a lot of behind the scenes clips in this were reused in the 2004 Empire Of Dreams documentary in slightly higher quality but in shorter duration. could one theoretically crossfade those clips against the VHS clips to get a slightly higher quality version?

I "really really really" want to see the whole Japanese laserdisc master of this documentary uploaded on the internet only because the laserdisc for this documentary has a little bit higher video quality than the VHS plus it's the only way to watch the special in high quality. If someone has the Japanese laserdisc of From Star Wars to Jedi "please" upload the laserdisc master of this documentary on Internet Archive.

I liked the artistry of the movies, which is why I liked this documentary.. Wars are always fought over money, not over family rifts unless it involves political power and money. So, I really don't agree with the themes, but they're fun films all the same.

Catching this video again after who knows how many years, I find it sad that all of the good, hard work from the people who put together the Max Reebo band was replaced by that cgi sequence in the Specialized version, whatever that was.

in 1989 90 when i bought this vhs I kept watching it over and over im 51 now its emotional but also sad because George lost his mind around 1997 when the special edistions came out i only watch the theatrical cuts the prequals and all the new Disney stuff is not Star Wars ot at least not my generation star wars anyways the magic of practical effects and model; will never be replaced by cgi

@zoetropeguardian Ай бұрын

The Prequels have more practical effects and models than the entire Original Trilogy combined. George never changed. He just continued to make the films to his tastes and not how the fans wanted. This should be admired as it's much more powerful than the corporate product it has become under Disney.

"I did the 1st film I DIDN'T KNOW THAT (awkward stumble) err how the public would take all this and that it would be as successful as it was and DARTH VADER WOULD BECOME THE CHARACTER THAT HE BECAME and so when I got down to the 2nd film, I had to make a decision about whether I was really gonna go through with this thing of HIM BEING HIS FATHER." To me when George says ''I didn't know that'' then awkwardly pauses this is him slipping up on his lie that Darth vader was always meant to be luke's father. Why would Lucas intend for the wise Obi Wan to say a massive lie to Luke? Obi Wan never mentions the name Anakin to Luke in a new hope, he refers to Darth Vader as Darth to his face, like it's a first name. Vader was not once hinted at being Luke's father in a new hope. All Vader sensed was that the force was strong with the pilot he was chasing on the death star. He did not sense 2 skywalkers on the Death star earlier, only Obi Wan. For certain though, in the first film he did not know that Leia would be the twin sister of Luke, with Luke's crush on her and Vader's interactions with Leia and Leia not having the force back this up.

I haven't seen this documentary for about 30 years. I, like many others in this thread watched this nearly as many times as the actual films, I pretty much had all of Mark Hammil's commentary memorised. Watching it again has been a joy especially with the added high definition footage. Absolutely brilliant work, and thank you so much.

31:36 ... I KNEW Han originally said "Trust Me" not... "I can see a lot better now".... phew, thought I was going crazy. Also, the Trust Me makes more sense as a phrase between the characters given their past.

@zoetropeguardian Ай бұрын

I think the "I can see a lot better now" works better as it echoes Anakin later in the film when he asks Luke to take his mask off so he can "see you with my own eyes". Star Wars always plays with the same dialogue and motifs across all six films.
