- The Force is strong in Tintoy Chou. The shadow puppet designer is using “Star Wars” characters like Darth Vader, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker to get audiences interested in the ancient art of wayang kulit. We visit Chou in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to see how he and a 13th generation master puppeteer known as Pak Dain are taking delighted audiences to a galaxy far, far away with every epic performance.

I love the fact that the word "puppeteer" sounds like palpatine, and literally controlled the whole storyline of Starwars
😂😂😂 nice one
yeah almost like george lucas isn't a very subtle writer

I hope lawyers from Disney don't try to shut this down.
I agree, but unfortunately they could if they want to. Though for all we know maybe the guys in this film have already obtained permission to use the storyline and characters. Problem with such successful films is that they become so ingrained in popular culture that people start to think the storyline belongs to everyone ... sad truth is that isn't so, yet, until this one falls into the public domain.
Just check: 2072 Star Wars becomes p.d. Hopefully the owners see this as a charitable act to help revive a threatened artform and leave it be.
They should sponsor this show instead.
They have permission to use starwars characters..

May the Force be with Tinto Chou.
Always.

WHY ARE YOU HERE AGAIN?
How come fellow Indonesian be like grumping bout this? We ( indonesia-malaysia) do have similiar culture. Even thailand have their own wayang. Smh.
What about india from where these arts and stories came.. happy south east Asia.. ;))
Because of some angry nationalism indonesian who really hate to see their neighborhood have the same cultures like them..even the cultures are not originally from Indonesia or Malaysia. They always talking nonesense and start saying that we're cultures stealer because we have a same culture like them.. lol

@@bolmuroturo189 Thanks Sadd Beifong for the sharing. Seems that it is an ancient form of entertainment that does not belong to ONE particular country or culture, and it had already been popular hundreds of years ago from the eastern hemisphere of the globe to (China) to the southern hemisphere (India) to the western countries in Europe. Everybody should embrace the inclusivity and not fight and further divide our world.
@@bolmuroturo189 well, it is pure chauvinism.
Hey! Im from indonesia, and i just learned that there are wayang kulit too in malaysia! It made sense that we share the same culture since we came from the same ancestor and we also live close by to each other, so its really cool knowing this wayang kulit in star wars version from malaysia!
( honestly we dont have to fight over who owns what, in my opinion we should all appreciate, respect, and celebrate our similarities!✨👏🏻 )
Indonesian people need to calm down... And continue to claim everything from Malaysia.. Like usual😂
Not only malaysia but other country like china, India, turkey, Greece, Iran, Thailand, and cambodia also have wayang kulit.
@@leealligator342 You see, in Indonesia that is also the logic. "Malaysian keep claiming everything from Indonesia". So stop trying to gain more plus for the Malaysian side and celebrate both cultural similarities.
@@leealligator342 Well, it originally came from China during the Han Dynasty, and was later adapted by India, tholu bommalata shows, the rest are just imitators.
So stop bitching, y'all Indonesian & Malaysian own nothing...
@@leealligator342 funny coming from a malaysian lmfaoo, its should've been the opposite aka YOUR people is the one who always steal indonesian culture lmfao. Lets just be realistic, indonesia has more than 700 ethnics and malaysia??? Lmao 404 error not found. now look at this and go cry about it bozo 😞 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayang

Dude wtf we are not like india vs Pakistan
Re-inventing shadow puppetry with Star Wars? Now that's what we like to see. Force is so strong with this one
*the origami Darth vader approaches the origami yoda for the ultimate battle...*
I know this is a joke but wayang kulit puppets are made of leather. The name itself is referring to what the puppets are made of kulit is malay for skin
*inset bot reply here*
Lol Love the book reference
God, you’ve just suddenly gave me a flashback to my summer vacation back in 2013 lmao
Now i see.
Indonesian and Malaysia shared a similarity in culture because of same history , and we don't have to argue about where it belongs to.And props to Malaysian people for finding a creative way to preserve our culture.
We also have the same art in China too! 😊 It's nice to see that the tradition is alive and doing well among other modern art
I agree. No need to fight
Our indian culture is also similar. The puppeteer mentioned lord Rama and Sita,the gods we pray too. Am glad this culture is still alive.
naga akshaya I think we adopted this during Hinduism/Buddhism era in southeast asia a long time ago. It’s cool to see some connection between us.
malaysians and indonesians have the SAME ancestors
Even in India we have similar shadow puppetry called 'thol pavai koothu ' with Ramayana and Mahabharata stories ,I think Malaysia, Indonesia and India shares many cultural similarities
Historically Ancient South East Asians followed the Hindu faith, when Arab traders or Muslim traders came the SE Asians converted to Islam but kept some hindu traditions alive.
yep 😊
@Gerd Wiesler don't talk shit,... although malaysia is a muslim country, during ancient kingdom of Kedah Tua and Cheh Cha Kelantan has a trace of the hindu buddhist civilization in the land of malaysiam peninsular, the hisoric "Lembah Bujang" archeological site has a prove that the kingdom of of hindu and buddhisme has existed before islam came and spread in the country...
@@muhdmuzakkir9176 not to mention all the sanskrit words that we still use.
@Gerd Wiesler I don't see any Japanese whining about non Japanese using manganime style in their animations or comics.
Imagine the possibilities, this is a very genius move to keep traditions alive

This is pure gold. What a fantastic idea to bring new generations to an ancient art form.
WAYANG KULIT IS INDONESIA
Oh shut up, its logical that we have the same culture with malaysia, its time for both of us to learn about our melayu culture. Its actually embarrassing that we are from the same background but never have any relax relationship. Can we be friends like how we critize crisp rendang like a mad man
Ikr.
Why don't we just claim that the culture is both from us
Plus the standardised language spoken by both countries are almost identical.
@@ANTSEMUT1 in indonesia, wayang kulit is mostly told in Javanese and Melayu not Indonesian
In Indonesia, Wayang kulit is also a Javanese culture
I love wayang kulit ....♥️♥️♥️
Im scared to go to the comment section now. Theres gonna be a literal war
Why
@@rxatas9439 Indonesian...
Chill, not all of us are like that, it's not anyone's fault that we are living close together
I’m still kinda confused on the war of the comments
Love from Malaysia! 🇲🇾so happy to see Malaysia featured in Great Big Story. 😃
I never get to watch wayang kulit my whole life despite living in Malaysia. The Star Wars adapted into wayang kulit is so creative!! Maybe can add Harry Potter in the future 😆🌸

actually is more like :

I think I like at home starwars than actual star wars
BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA ikr 😂
So...
Star wars with shadow toys is bad?
You are a person that not have culture. Americans dont have culture. I live in brazil i an a person of culture.
Henry Szytko ok buddy boy whatever floats your boat
I like how he says "Peperangan Bintang" (Star Wars).
I hope he gets high ground this time
I love how they still kept the ancient-esque design of the wayang kulit and incorporated it into Star Wars
This is amazing! Malaysian culture being broadcasted like this! Truly a special day
Really ❤️ how the ancient text of the Ramayana is represented in such fashion.. I mean who could have wonderful that Ravan can be equated with Darth Vader and Start Wars is intergalactic Ramayana 😀😀
This is super dope, how come people are not talking about this?? The art style, the way it is performed is the perfect execution of modern-traditional combination. It's like Star Wars reimagined using Kabuki theater!
yes but this time were using cow leather instead of organic human beings doing exaggerated movements
Waiting for Indonesian raging mob 🍿
Ah yes
Let me grab my snacks too 🍿🥤
Any second now...
Still waiting... 🥤 🍿
02:45am, still there's no sign... 🍿🥤
Finally Malaysia gets some fame
13th generation and still going strong, semoga Pak Dain di beri kesihatan dan dimurahkan rezeki. Dan semoga ada penerus kepada warisan ni.
when I saw the title I didn't think twice
I am 12 years old
Damn right
Ok
Hey I live in Kuala Lumpur I'm actually from Malaysia or (saya dari Malaysia dari Kuala Lumpur) I really know how to talk English and Malaysian as both I know how to talk
The Kelantan state of Malaysia is famous for it.
yes, it is. my master is from Kelantan.
As a malaysian i just love this video!!!
Terima kasih :)
@@FusionWayangKulit sama sama! (:
Had a chance to watch it during the 2014 Festival Belia Putrajaya (Putrajaya Youth Festival). As someone who never even watch traditional wayang kulit show (& Star Wars), it was indeed a mesmerizing experience. just look for Tintoy Chuo on FB; he always updates his activities.
Thank you :)
the last time i was this early, psg was still leading 4-0
What
I might be Indonesian, but I'm fine; this is undoubtedly awesome! I just wish we too have something like this, not there isn't one...
Yeah, sad that our culture are not restored and instead getting into western culture
Actually, we do! Check this out instagram.com/is.yuniarto?igshid=13k98qkezi7xu

God, I love this series SO much. Never disappoints.
This is actually quite smart move, considering that long ago, wayang kulit was used to tell stories, whether it is folklore, legends, and more. (If i'm not mistaken, the stories that these wayang performed usually have some kind of mystical or magical element in the stories)
Malaysian here. Thanks for showcasing our culture :)
those characters are infact inspired from hindu gods and books

You mean the Star Wars part, or the actual wayang kulit?
wow !! it's so interesting I would love to see one someday

and i love how they used the soundtrack too
I have always loved this type of puppetry. I just never knew what it was called.😉
I love this channel so much
this is good, every man of culture who keep that is hero. 🇲🇨 🇲🇾 #serumpon
imagine a wayang kulit Star Wars officially licensed merchandises. Disney please do that instead of suing them
*_Staring Indonesians from behind the wall intensifies_*
LOL 🤣🤣
Indon be like: *it's mine, and mine alone!!!*
Now it's the problem that Indonesian doesn't restore it now, does it?
@@dee_jeh it is true. Wayang kulit is from java, Indonesia.
They already submit it to UNESCO as indonesia heritage. It is a known fact that Malaysia always claimed Indonesia's heritage, like Batik and wayang.
@@ishlazz1307 uhh
Vader's design as a shadow puppet reminds me of a particular sequence from the Clone Wars animated series.
They should do wayang kulit for avatar the last airbender and the legend of korra, would definitely be 1000% better than the live action
Avatar Aang Wayang Kulit might look a little bit like the Amber Island Players
Avatar Korra maybe harder and they may or may not get rid of Asami due to what happen on the final book(Our counrty are really anti-LGBTQ and didnt even air the final book of Korra...)
Reminds me of the Star Wars-themed Kabuki theater in Japan
Just hope that those corporate dint make a lawsuit against them... for the copyrights nonsense
If not mistaken they got green light from star wars reps
THIS
IS
AAAAAAWWWWWWSOOOOOOME!!!!!
YES YES YES FINALLY
WOW! I would love to see this version of Star Wars! 😯
Thanks, you can check them out from our YT channel :)
Cool!!!!
Who need cinema when we have wayang kulit 😂
Im malaysian and i never even heard of this
Cool concept they're using 😎
So proud 😁😃
Is this thing still going on if so where exactly? I'd love to watch one of the shows.
Hi, we often perform at our home country: Malaysia.
But recently due to Covid pandemic, we kind of pause everything for a while.
i once saw a japanese kabuki adaptation of one of the prequels once, it’s a shame i don’t remember its name
I was weirded out at first cus wayang kulit is still kicking around in Indonesia, but I forget the differences between peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak and the differences between them and Indonesia
Cool. I want a Sang Kala Veda on a shirt now.
How cool!
A golden experience for my eyes
Wayang kulit originated in Java, interesting how they adopted the practice
Its so great to see lord rama of ayodhya in so many cultures
Did u kniw star wars was inspired from Ramayana the anciemt hindu history epic
What a day to be alive, Darth Vader himself is leading the show!

Wayang kulit is also Indonesian, it is an art throughout Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor and Brunei. It is still kept alive in the kampungs of Indonesia but I'm not sure about Malaysia.
There is still some in kampong in kelantan and perlis but not that many..
It also can be found in China, India, Greece, turkey, Iran and other Indochina country.

India be like up there in the northwest laughing their ass off while seeing such kiddos like Indonesia and Malaysia arguing about who should be recognized to own Wayang Kulit the most.
*an Indonesian starts raging*
Me an Indonesian just observing beautiful art: Okay so what if we own it? We don't preserve it now, do we?
Kita masih menjaga wayang, cuman sepengetahuan saya pementasan wayang di Indonesia khususnya di tanah jawa pementasan wayang kulit klasik memiliki pakem-pakem tertentu atau aturan yang sudah ada sejak dulu kala. Pakem-pakem atau aturan ini masih digunakan sampai hari ini. Esensi wayang kulit bukan hanya sebagai pentas, tetapi juga pada awalnya sebagai media hal-hal tertentu. Hadirnya pakem ini bertujuan untuk mencegah pemudaran arti dan esensi wayang kulit agar tetap bisa dijaga ke orisinilannya. Masih banyak kok daerah di Jawa yang mementaskan wayang kulit, biarpun jumlahnya tidak sebanyak dulu.
- Salam budaya, dari Suriname😊🙏
*Scream in jawa*
Tentu khusus di pulau jawa, wayang kulit masi sangat terjaga keasriannya, emangnya anda dapat berita dari mana yang mengatakan kita sudah meninggalkan budaya wayang kulit. Menurut saya sebagai orang indonesia melihat tayangan video ini cukup miris dikarenakan yang serumpun dari indonesia dan malaysia adalah bangsa melayu, bukan bangsa jawa, karena bangsa jawa sendiri merupakan suku asli di indonesia, jadi tidak ada sangkut paut wayang kulit sama malaysia karena wayang kulit sendiri berasal dari Jawa. Tapi menurut saya bisa saja akulturasi wayang kulit sudah terjadi di malaysia pada saat kerajaan majapahit menguasai nusantara hingga bahkan ke Burma(Myanmar).
Those who claimed are usually uneducated in subject matter.
sayangnya ndak banyak di indonesia yang berani gabungin pop culture sama warisan budaya. takut disenggol dengan istilah "tidak menghormati"; padahal maksudnya bagus.
