btw; the flying mantas in the early draft are more comparable to the manta things the kaminoins use in EP 2
I really appreciate that this wasn't just another hit piece against Lucas, and showed that he really is the reason we have the great Star Wars movies
I laugh when people complain that Disney "didn't have a plan" for the sequels. George Lucas made stuff up as he went along
The EU non-canonical? My ass!😡
You ruined the video by mentioning Rey and Kilo and the Last Jedi.
Star Wars is dead. This is a nice video and I consider it as a history lesson with a little What If. But Disney has nosedived the franchise into the ground for good.
lmao Harrison Ford is the jock that got roped into joining a D&D game and spends his whole time hating on it despite rolling natural 20's every fucking time
dat moment when you come over to meet her father and you realize it's Oscar fucking Isaacs with the bushiest stepdad beard he could grow on short notice and a fuck you look in his eye before he even leaves the porch to tell you to go back home
great video man, i'm enjoying it a lot! one thing i would humbly bring to your attention: it was Marcia Lucas, his wife, who got the idea to kill off Obiwan because the plot needed some more dramatic weight and they were editing the film together and George decided that was actually a pretty great idea… before anyone sheds tears, Sir McGuinness was certainly not sorry about it as he reportedly hated his role as much as Harrison Ford hated his own… geez, actors can be such entitled drama queens lol
gary kurtz sucks.
5:18 “Dah-gobah”??
Gotta step up your AI game partner
11:02–11:04 I got lost when I heard about The Last Jedi and quit the video.
Star Wars is now so wrecked and ruined by Kathleen Kennedy it will never recover.
It’s sad how channels keep pushing the “George didn’t have people challenging him during the PT like he did the OT” myth and not challenging comments that do push it. It’s clear even the original needed George’s touch to make it happen and people always give credit to others. I wish more people would stop pushing this myth and correct their own fans in the comments that push it.
please do Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange 2
Thank you!
Next do "The Star Wars from the Journal of the Whills" George had a lot of help in rewriting that version of the script he begged everyone he knew to help him but he didn't give any of the other people shared writing credit. Spielberg was even worse on Close Encounters he had 5 writers helping him all he did was a two page story he never wrote that script but he claimed credit for it he wanted a Written and Directed By credit but he never deserved a Written By credit.
Great stuff! Another note: Rio Bravo was also directed by Howard Hawks. Yes, John Wayne was in it, but Leigh Brackett was working for Hawks again, in that instance.
@13:19 Isn’t the “Fist full of Dollars” movies a rip off of Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo nameless ronin movies?
Although I love the scene I'm always confused when it's mentioned the Wompa scene with Luke was included to explain why Luke's face looks different. To me the difference is negligible and just looks to be how a person would normally age. I wonder if it was one of those things where it looked really bad right after the surgery but had healed up by the time they went to film.
Really great breakdown, including the bit about Brackett and her history adapting Chandler. Just shows how amorphous the story really was. All these years later, we all want to believe that Lucas had planned for Luke to be Vader's (Anakin's) son from the jump, but that just wasn't the case. This includes a lot of other elements that later got established (like C3P0 not remembering Obi-Wan [the "mind wipe"] and more. One small complaint… Dagobah is pronouced: "Day-go-bah", not" Dah-go-bah". Both Luke and Obi-Wan pronounce it "Day-go-bah". Not being the pronunciation police, just thought you might want to know.
So at one time yoda was named after a British slang for a woman’s naughty bits?
It's just a shame that The Following film, return of the jedi, is a big bucket of elephant piss
The entire movie happened because of the Falcon’s hyperdrive failing.

Perhaps you meant
" .. further exacerbated Lucas' stress .."
"Stress" cannot become exasperated. Exasperation is normally reserved for the person, not the trait, emotion, or condition.
Greatest Sequels of all times heheheh. That made me chuckle.
Great video but why do you pronounce Dagobah differently from the movie?
