I think that the main reason for changing the Yoda puppet to CGI was just because the puppet looked like crap compared to the original Empire puppet and the AotC/RotS CG model
As a kid I always wondered why the yoda puppet looked worse. Does anyone know why the episode 1 puppet looked so bad? Did we regress in our puppet making technology since the early eighties?
***** Although that could be a cool explanation, it's very clearly not the same puppet. The head shape is vastly different, and the skin color is very strange as well.
Jim Henson's company helped with the making of original Yoda. From what I understand as well the original mold of Yoda was lost as well. Henson's company also didnt return for the prequels.
Yeah, they cut the length of it just to add the rest at the end of Ep6. It took me off guard completely... As a result, I kept thinking about this change instead of staying emotionally invested in the movie.
The pulled back shot of the trade federation goons looking at a TV happened so you can tell its a screen. In the original it looks a lot like they are looking down a hallway with a force-field. The extra perspective and the scan lines becoming horizontal instead of circular makes it clear that they are looking at a screen.
I'm actually glad they got rid of puppet Yoda in The Phantom Menace. Normally my favorite Yoda is the puppet version, but that one in TPM is sooooo ugly! And freaky!
Agree, it's not even the same that got used in The Empire Strikes Back nor Return of the Jedi. I always thought it was ugly and inconsistent, because he's supposed to be younger.
More changes to Attack of the Clones: In Jengo's last scene, a spark and puff of smoke were added to show he tried to fly away, but being trampled broke his rocket pack. After being decapitated, Jengo's helmet goes rolling on the ground. A shadow was added to the right implying his head went rolling off the screen. Neither of these were in the theatrical release.
I'll say this when it comes to CGI Yoda in The Phantom Menace: it's easily the best looking version out of all the Prequels. Since they already used a puppet, the animators already knew where the light was going to fall. There's less of a disconnect that usually comes with totally CGI characters.
Chocolate Entrepreneur I agree that it gets annoying when people call them bad just by comparison to the original trilogy, but in the end they are just bad movies
yeah it was cool to see it so gigantic, but a lot was lost, it was also pan & scan to some extent too, so actually every single frame was different had something missing
I have to disagree on the Puppet Yoda. If they used the original (or duplicated the original, as i don't know if Lucasfilm has the old Yoda) i would be 100% on board. But that puppet in Episode 1 just doesn't look like yoda.... at all. color is off.. the face is weird. Frank Oz is the only thing that made it Yoda, to me. I fully endorse the CGI replacement.
Don't forget the changes made to the Phantom Menace between the VHS and DVD versions. Like Anakin and company being airlifted to the senate building being added, and Watto yelling "Sebulba!" during the podrace being removed
@@bebo2629 better or worse, it's not true to the original character design. Btw the puppet is different, have a look at their cheekbones, or lack thereof on the newer puppet.
It's cool watching these because I'm not even a big star wars guy but a Huge film guy. I now own 2 VHS of the original star wars trilogy, 1 DVD and 1 Blu-ray just to have all the different version! These videos are like a history lesson!
Don't know if anybody mentioned this, but I remember on the DVD of TPM, a scene of JJB and Anakin getting into an "air taxi" after their arrival on Coruscant was added.
Hey Hello Greedo! I love you videos man! And I think it's really impressive the amount of content you've been producing lately while still keeping it at a high standard and high quality! Keep up the great work!
I remember the "Anakin losing an engine in the pod racing scene" from back when I saw it in theater in 1999. Now I realise that's because in all those years I never watched the pod racing scene again.
@Kit: Yeah, but no Picnic, no meeting Queen Whotf-cares, no Anakin complaining about Obi Wan? In short: The less Anakin the better! And that is really a sad testament on the prequels with him being the overarching protagonist of that trilogy!
No brain that is a key scene. First off you don't have to like it. But it is an accurate portrayal off how a kid ( he is 15 ) who has psychological problems acts like in top of the fact he also had a shelter life which kind of makes him naive and some what spoiled. Just search RUclips videos of spoiled kids acting up they don't act any different. Anyways it also sets him up to the beginning stage to the path of a killer. Most killers kill animals as their first step and as he says that's what the Tuskan raiders where to him animals. The scene has deep undertones that people don't get. I prefer that over a 29 year old emo acting up for no reason at all. Followed by a comedic scene that reminds me of spaceballs...
They also changed Anakin's mechanical hand in the wedding scene at the end of Episode II. In the theatrical cut there's just a close-up of the hand dangling, while in the DVD release he holds Padme's hand with it.
and the robot hand has a total different look too, different, richer golden lighting as well in the 35mm (the original digital theatrical release was the same as the home versions); the digital version of this scene was a VERY late in the game reshoot with CGI and a fill in for Padme
WeirdoTZero while it is streamline there is a MAJOR plot hole from one of the cuts without the conversation between Obi-Wan & Count Dooku why would Obi-Wan (and the Jedi council when he tells them) get the idea a member of the Galactic Senate is a Sith Lord?
@@kylecampbell565 Hellogreedo got that wrong. From what I've heard, the scene between Dooku and Obi-Wan is still in the movie, it's just that it was shortened and the ending bit where Dooku says "It may be difficult to secure your release" is what was removed.

yeah I wish they had at least put all those scenes in HD deleted scenes on the blu-rays or UHDs, many of those cool scenes are to found only in jaggy SD on the DVDs, so they are hard to splice in well
So, considering that the CGI in the prequels is looking dated eventually I think they should do a special edition of them with better CGI that looks less fake
discorobotification I wish all of 1-6 was redone. 4 5 and 6 should just be the theatrical cuts and the few good specialised edition changes remastered and 1-3 should be slight edits in 3 and larger changes in 1 and 2 and some cgi remastering. I would pay $15 each to see these in the cinemas
@@caddaye7687 I think just a color corrected original trilogy (save for maybe the clunk sound on the stormtrooper that hit his head on the door) in high resolution, and then CGI redoes for the prequels to make the cg look more real. And also any sort of remastering with color and such
Don't worry in the year 2038 Disney does a reboot of the series. Paradoxically 1-3 are hailed as master pieces by Star Wars Fans while 4-6 are considered complete flops that forget what a star wars movie is suppose to be, and many lose hope for the franchise until episode 7 returns with it's obvious homages to The Phantom Menace. It is recieved poorly by the general public ,but Star Wars Critics find it to be absolutely amazing, and ten years from it's release it has come to be hailed as the best star wars movie ever.
Most of these are alright changes in my opinion, changes aren't bad unless they change the story. Darth Vader screaming Nooo!, changing "lapti nek", adding stupid cgi critters and droids fighting, greedo shooting at Han Solo and Jabba the Hutt in A New Hope...... those are horrible... the good ones are adding stormtrooper-hitting his head... and some other stuff...
Alright, a new changes video! I really enjoy your take on the changes and the way you present your opinion. I've watched the previous 7 parts twice each, and it's some of my favorite Star Wars content on RUclips. Keep up the good work!
I love this about Goerge Lucas. he's a perfectionist. Most film makers will release a film and be done with it. But Goerge will change it and change it until he thinks it's perfect. No-matter what people say or think of him, nobody can argue that he doesn't take pride in his work.
...yeah, the climax of ROTJ is finally _perfect_ now! Vader yelling NOOOOO finally explains why he's saving Luke - I'm so lucky about that because I never understood that scene since 1983. And it also blends nicely with the ending of ROTS... /sarcasm.
surject yeah i hated that change too. it's the one i like the least. pretty much everybody hated it. but george didn't, and that's what this guy is saying, that george will try to make the movie as perfect as it gets in his eyes. only that i have the feeling this change was something to throw in our faces for not liking Vader's NOOOOOO in Revenge of the Sith haha
You’re missing most changes to phantom menace which is bar none the most changed Star Wars film, even more than A New Hope. The reason you’re missing them is because the changes were made already by the time of your first source the DVD version. The theatrical cut of phantom menace has a few scenes cut and a much shorter pod race.
I personally found the original 1972 pixel to be far superior to the 1999 rerelease pixel as it seemed to breathe far more naturally than the newer version of the pixel which just appears lifeless and dull. I honestly can't understand why they thought this change was required, but it's just further evidence that Star Wars OT was good by accident. -Some Star Wars Fan Somewhere
Nope. The Iron Giant, Rango, and some episodes of classic Doctor Who were both released later with some changes, however unlike Star Wars they give you the option to choose the original version or the new version.
@@MisterBurgerBeachball I own the Skywalker Saga release from shortly after ROTS and they give Theatrical releases in there. What I wish is there was a choice of using the great changes that had digitally enhance the movies and exclude the “No” edits or some of that dumb shit like the rock
Some black and white episodes of Doctor Who were digitally restored, one even has CGI, to correct physical issues with the film reel. But they don't change things if they can help it.
I just like wanted to say like I love your content +HelloGreedo you're literally one of the best RUclipsrs around at the moment. You also like inspired and helped me to get my Stormtrooper armor and join the 501st!!!
I distinctly remember a line in the theatrical version of RoTS that doesn't appear on any home media, and that somehow even the internet doesn't talk much about. I'm talking about Anakin's "I'm more powerful than any of you" right before a (rightfully so) disgruntled Mace Windu says "Take a seat, Skywalker".
Javier Torres I love movies!! The Force Awakens and the original trilogy makes me happy beyond words, and I feel blessed to have them in my life. Episode 1 and 2 and some of 3 make me bored and angry.
A deleted scene was added to the 2001 DVD release of Phantom Menace where they take an air taxi on Coruscant. It wasn't on the 2000 vhs release. It comes after the scene with Palpatine on the air platform.
emptyspotlight there is only 1. The final track (Jedi steps/finale) is slightly different. You can tell by comparing the version from the bluray with the version on the actual release soundtrack (on Spotify).
People say the prequels are actually good films, but I recently rewatched Attack of the Clones for the first time since I was 10, and I normally love every movie I see, but the dialogue was so awkward and unnatural that it was actually uncomfortable for me to watch it
Anakin was suppose to feel that way OP there are undertones of cereal killer psychology It's not spaceballs.... where you get an emo 30 year old raging for No reason followed by comedy. Did I say spaceballs lolI mean TFA. ;p
al112v5 That's the thing every one wanted something that would not fit with Darth Vader. The only reason critics don't like Anakin was because they wanted a hero with smooth james deen qualities considering that Darth was always a lacky wouldn't work to write him that way. Why I can't prefer the emo is because there is no motivation for him to that way out side of a terrible script writer that wanted to copy both Darth Vader from the prequels and the OT. I would be surprise if Jar Jar abrams has an ounce of creativity. The next writer has such a hard job to do considering TFA sets the next movie to be an inevitable 2nd reroot.
Also, The shot in AOTC where Obi Wan is flying the yellow speeder and catches Anakin's lightsaber after he loses it in his persuit of Zam Wessell, originally there was another speeder that flew over Obi Wan as he caught the saber. For whatever reason, the speeder was removed for the first video release onwards. This was verified on the net at one point years ago with a screencap of a bootleg in theater cam recording from 2002.
In Ep. 2, Padme doesn't grab Anakin's robot hand at the end in the original theatrical version (this was changed for the digital theatrical release, which was pretty scarce in 2002).
in Episode 1 the DVD version have some extended scenes compare to the VHS version that was release earlier. If my memory don't fail me the beginning of the pod race is longer, also when the crew arrive to Coruscant and take the transport is longer
There's another pretty significant change to episode one. The DVD release extended the coruscant arrival scene by at least 30 seconds. The part where everybody gets in the transport ship that looks like a toaster wasn't in the theatrical version. This scene and the added Podrace scenes aren't part of the VHS edition either
As far as I can remember there is a small change to the weddng scene in AotC. In the original release (and DVD) the shot of Padme holding Anakin's mechainal hand was either not there, or was shorter.
this scene was only different in the 35mm theatrical, the digital theatrical, DVD and all other home releases are the same; in the 35mm she never held his hand and his hand looked totally different and had rich, golden lighting; the digital versions were an utterly last second reshoot using CGI and a stand in for Portman
Adding Shmi's voice to the nightmare sequence kinda improved it for me. There was something inherently wrong with a teenage lad sweating and writhing in his sleep, groaning, with his hands down below... and then sitting up and yelling MOTHER! No wonder the dude had issues later in life.
The easy answer is that George Lucas is a moron. That's not really true - he's actually quite intelligent. The better answer is because an artist is never truly satisfied with his work. That's what George is doing, he's playing with things to show more ideas that he's come up with, or regretted not doing, or what have you. Is it right? I don't know. They are his movies so to a point yeah, but I also agree that it's a disservice to the fans and what they have come to enjoy. There are plenty of movies that have directors cuts produced later that make the movie much better, much more interesting, more insightful. I don't think any of these changes have done that, but the point is -we like it in some, but not in others.
He can do what he want if the work is entirelly his. But even if you write, direct, produce and edit the movie; there shall be still plenty of artists working with you in the product. So, i don't think he can change their work. And he only wrote and direct the prequels, no the OT: even episode iv was done with an immense ammount of help of other people, like the editing team (which saved the movie). Lucas is a genious, but there is no excuse to change a piece of work, and not allowing people to have the original stuff (in any legal way)
I think the biggest complaint most people have is that George NEVER re-released the original theatrical versions, and feel like the special editions seem to replace them.
Morgulvale No, people jump on this "The prequels were actually good" bandwagon for some inexplicable reason lately. And I mean lately, when I watched Hellogreedo the first time around, you couldn't find someone defending ep. 1-3 in the comments if you tried, now somehow loving the prequels is the cool thing to do I guess. Sane people have been crapping on these movies for ten+ years now, don't pretend like it's the other way around..
ADarthTokuDalek Well to be fair, you could have never watched the original trilogy in your life and still realise how putrid the prequels are. And yes, considering the alternative, being a OT purist is the only sane approach to the series.
You know, you can like the prequels AND be able to laugh at them, right? It's called looking at other viewpoints, and realizing that yours isn't the only one.
About as much as any college student, in any such case the plinket reviews are subjective and can be contested. It's more satire for entertainment than a review.
The reason that shot at 1:42 becomes wider for its subsequent release is because the original shot gives the impression that Nute and (Rune, you say?) are looking down a hallway. But they aren't, they're supposed to be watching the video-surveillance live-feed on their CCTV display. The updated shot is better because we can more easily tell that it's a screen-monitor. This visual is made even more concrete with the (basically black & white) monotone and static (which, without having seen this picture in motion rather than a video still image, appears to be modeled after the classic VHS-tracking-adjust lines, perhaps?)
I'm gonna assume the reason for the transition wipe is because both the dvd and blu ray releases got the original footage straight from the theatrical film rather than borrow from one another. And the team working on the blu ray release didn't use any of the changes made by the dvd release team. Of course it's just my guess. I could be wrong.
Obi-wan, jango fett was way better than that "boba fett", jango at least killed smeone without jumping into a sarlacc, palpatine, pleagious, locations, starships, The Clone Wars.
super jedi player they could have made something original than just remake an already existent character (boba to jango). Don't see how something like this is way better. I don't see how Plaugueis was a good part of the prequels when he was barely mentioned. It's like saying the clone wars was awesome in the OT just because it was mentioned in one scene. Big chunks of Palpatines plan never made sense. That was something the prequel novels cleaned up and made much better.
Hey HelloGreedo, I think the reason why The Clone Troopers have sounding voices during the first scenes of the battle of Utapade in Episode 3 was to match up how the Clone Troopers were in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars both its movie and TV series in how they portrayed as.
Actually there was another change in The Phantom Menace Blu-ray version, in the Senate after Queen Amidala declares her vote of no confidence on Chancellor Valloram's leadership, you can hear everyone in the Senate chanting "Vote Now, Vote Now" in the Blu-ray version, they removed that and replaced it with just a bunch of random yelling, idk why they changed that because personally I liked the chanting
The whole introduction of the pod racers was added to the DVD of phantom menace. The whole pod race sequence is probably about five minutes shorter in the theatrical and VHS releases. Sorry to sound like a geeky know-it-all.

It is recieved poorly by the general public ,but Star Wars Critics find it to be absolutely amazing, and ten years from it's release it has come to be hailed as the best star wars movie ever.
Im so glad someone made a video about this. When I went back to the DVD releases, I noticed things that weren't in the VHS copies I had.
Most of these are alright changes in my opinion, changes aren't bad unless they change the story. Darth Vader screaming Nooo!, changing "lapti nek", adding stupid cgi critters and droids fighting, greedo shooting at Han Solo and Jabba the Hutt in A New Hope...... those are horrible... the good ones are adding stormtrooper-hitting his head... and some other stuff...
VJ89VJ awesome
Darth always screamed no, they just shortened it.
Alright, a new changes video! I really enjoy your take on the changes and the way you present your opinion. I've watched the previous 7 parts twice each, and it's some of my favorite Star Wars content on RUclips. Keep up the good work!
I love this about Goerge Lucas. he's a perfectionist. Most film makers will release a film and be done with it. But Goerge will change it and change it until he thinks it's perfect. No-matter what people say or think of him, nobody can argue that he doesn't take pride in his work.
...yeah, the climax of ROTJ is finally _perfect_ now! Vader yelling NOOOOO finally explains why he's saving Luke - I'm so lucky about that because I never understood that scene since 1983. And it also blends nicely with the ending of ROTS... /sarcasm.
surject yeah i hated that change too. it's the one i like the least. pretty much everybody hated it. but george didn't, and that's what this guy is saying, that george will try to make the movie as perfect as it gets in his eyes. only that i have the feeling this change was something to throw in our faces for not liking Vader's NOOOOOO in Revenge of the Sith haha
Kit Fisto - wtf... troll or complete moron.
Kit Fisto if he did take pride in his work, he wouldn't mix up the words "generations" and "years"
Kit Fisto lmao
You’re missing most changes to phantom menace which is bar none the most changed Star Wars film, even more than A New Hope. The reason you’re missing them is because the changes were made already by the time of your first source the DVD version. The theatrical cut of phantom menace has a few scenes cut and a much shorter pod race.
If they change a pixel there will be fans complaining about it
I personally found the original 1972 pixel to be far superior to the 1999 rerelease pixel as it seemed to breathe far more naturally than the newer version of the pixel which just appears lifeless and dull. I honestly can't understand why they thought this change was required, but it's just further evidence that Star Wars OT was good by accident.
-Some Star Wars Fan Somewhere
I was literally just looking these up last night and barely found anything and then one day later you're uploading this
Is Star Wars the only movie franchise with so many small changes made after release? I can't really think of any other movie.
Nope. The Iron Giant, Rango, and some episodes of classic Doctor Who were both released later with some changes, however unlike Star Wars they give you the option to choose the original version or the new version.
@@MisterBurgerBeachball I own the Skywalker Saga release from shortly after ROTS and they give Theatrical releases in there. What I wish is there was a choice of using the great changes that had digitally enhance the movies and exclude the “No” edits or some of that dumb shit like the rock
Some black and white episodes of Doctor Who were digitally restored, one even has CGI, to correct physical issues with the film reel. But they don't change things if they can help it.
The shot of Anakin Skywalker's mechanical hand grasping Padme's in Attack of the Clones was also changed from the theatrical to the DVD release.
I guess there is no OFFICIAL way to watch the theatrical cuts of the Prequels but the DVDs are the closest you're gonna get.
The theatrical cut of The Phantom Menace is available on VHS and Japanese laserdisc. AOTC and ROTS never made it to home video without slight changes.
I just like wanted to say like I love your content +HelloGreedo you're literally one of the best RUclipsrs around at the moment. You also like inspired and helped me to get my Stormtrooper armor and join the 501st!!!
Could you make a video and talk about everything you liked about the prequels?
I distinctly remember a line in the theatrical version of RoTS that doesn't appear on any home media, and that somehow even the internet doesn't talk much about. I'm talking about Anakin's "I'm more powerful than any of you" right before a (rightfully so) disgruntled Mace Windu says "Take a seat, Skywalker".
I know, it *is* almost 12 years since I saw it at the premiere too. But I'm 99,9% sure I didn't imagine he said that.
Gasoline85 I saw this film more times in theaters than I have on home release, and I assure you this line was not said.
handletag Maybe so, but I know what I saw and heard.
Same here I remember that line
I'll check and see.
Why'd George change the ones nobody cares about the least?
All the changes are sort of fascinating. Why change them at all? Especially with such minor changes?
umjackd Yeah, The Swipe one in 3 (It looks weirdish without it) and Yoda I can understand, but still, why
Lucas probably prefers the prequels, lol
I miss this series
i like how recently people have pretended to like 3.
lmfao
Why pretend it? Too bad you're just a hater who cries and don't enjoy movies.
Member Berries I liked it, then I turned 12
Javier Torres such a compelling argument. lmfao go to bed
Javier Torres I love movies!! The Force Awakens and the original trilogy makes me happy beyond words, and I feel blessed to have them in my life. Episode 1 and 2 and some of 3 make me bored and angry.
Not recently, for whatever reason people thought it was a good movie from the start.
HelloGreedo your channel is great man ! One of my favorites on RUclips!
Greedo I love you
A deleted scene was added to the 2001 DVD release of Phantom Menace where they take an air taxi on Coruscant. It wasn't on the 2000 vhs release. It comes after the scene with Palpatine on the air platform.
any changes from the force awakens theatrical and blu ray?
emptyspotlight doubt it
emptyspotlight there is only 1. The final track (Jedi steps/finale) is slightly different. You can tell by comparing the version from the bluray with the version on the actual release soundtrack (on Spotify).
emptyspotlight they removed the podracing flags from Maz Kanata's castle
+Riley 'The Troll' Conway oh I didn't know that.
Riley 'The Troll' Conway do you know if there are any picture comparisons of this?
Can't wait for the SEQUEL CHANGES analysis video.
Where are the first 7 parts of this series? I can't find them.
What? No slamming back Jameson and screaming "Fuck!" at the top of your lungs! haha.
People say the prequels are actually good films, but I recently rewatched Attack of the Clones for the first time since I was 10, and I normally love every movie I see, but the dialogue was so awkward and unnatural that it was actually uncomfortable for me to watch it
Anakin was suppose to feel that way OP there are undertones of cereal killer psychology It's not spaceballs.... where you get an emo 30 year old raging for No reason followed by comedy. Did I say spaceballs lolI mean TFA. ;p
Every time I watch AOTC I love it even more! Awesome movie, definetley in my top 3 of Star Wars films.
+John christopher I'd take the "emo" 30 year old over the whining little bitch with cringey lines and terrible love story.
al112v5 That's the thing every one wanted something that would not fit with Darth Vader. The only reason critics don't like Anakin was because they wanted a hero with smooth james deen qualities considering that Darth was always a lacky wouldn't work to write him that way.
Why I can't prefer the emo is because there is no motivation for him to that way out side of a terrible script writer that wanted to copy both Darth Vader from the prequels and the OT. I would be surprise if Jar Jar abrams has an ounce of creativity. The next writer has such a hard job to do considering TFA sets the next movie to be an inevitable 2nd reroot.
The romance is mirroring the kind of courtly love stories as told about Lancelot & Guinevere and Romeo & Juliet.
Also, The shot in AOTC where Obi Wan is flying the yellow speeder and catches Anakin's lightsaber after he loses it in his persuit of Zam Wessell, originally there was another speeder that flew over Obi Wan as he caught the saber. For whatever reason, the speeder was removed for the first video release onwards. This was verified on the net at one point years ago with a screencap of a bootleg in theater cam recording from 2002.
If they kept the IMAX release, it would have made Attack of the Clones better ( minus Dooku's conversation with Obi Wan)
In Ep. 2, Padme doesn't grab Anakin's robot hand at the end in the original theatrical version (this was changed for the digital theatrical release, which was pretty scarce in 2002).
Did anyone else think that one rebel in Rogue One was literally Osama Bin Laden lmao
Reed Ronan Saw was actually a pre existing character
Dr. Dill not saw gerrera the dude that was on the Scarif assault team. He literally looks like Osama Bin Laden
"That one rebel" is an actual character, dumbass. Like, he's appeared in both Clone Wars AND Rebels.
He looked very Taliban.
Which one is that?
in Episode 1 the DVD version have some extended scenes compare to the VHS version that was release earlier. If my memory don't fail me the beginning of the pod race is longer, also when the crew arrive to Coruscant and take the transport is longer
Hellogreedo, are you ever going to use your new greedo mask for a video?
Canario Garcia Yeah I'd like to see that more often
He used to but it broke. He prefers the ST Helmet.
MrPete8680 No, we mean the new Greedo mask.
That would ruin his character.
There's another pretty significant change to episode one. The DVD release extended the coruscant arrival scene by at least 30 seconds. The part where everybody gets in the transport ship that looks like a toaster wasn't in the theatrical version. This scene and the added Podrace scenes aren't part of the VHS edition either
I genuinely want to see the IMAX version of AOTC now
Awesome! Did not expect a new one in this series! Thought it was over! :D
I remember the first time I saw the new yoda. Great change imo, puppet phantom menace was horrifying.
As far as I can remember there is a small change to the weddng scene in AotC. In the original release (and DVD) the shot of Padme holding Anakin's mechainal hand was either not there, or was shorter.
this scene was only different in the 35mm theatrical, the digital theatrical, DVD and all other home releases are the same; in the 35mm she never held his hand and his hand looked totally different and had rich, golden lighting; the digital versions were an utterly last second reshoot using CGI and a stand in for Portman
Episode 1 and 2 were just boring, but episode 3 was actually pretty good, some compare it to episode 6 The Return Of The Jedi.
Episode 3 is easily the best prequel out of the 3, It had some great scenes in it.
Lord Shinon
Yeah
But Return Of The Jedi was way better
Emblem Boys 3 is my favorite
ackepace I disagree, i find the whole endor part and every scene with Lando completely boring, empire and a new hope are more entertaining
Adding Shmi's voice to the nightmare sequence kinda improved it for me. There was something inherently wrong with a teenage lad sweating and writhing in his sleep, groaning, with his hands down below... and then sitting up and yelling MOTHER! No wonder the dude had issues later in life.
The easy answer is that George Lucas is a moron. That's not really true - he's actually quite intelligent. The better answer is because an artist is never truly satisfied with his work. That's what George is doing, he's playing with things to show more ideas that he's come up with, or regretted not doing, or what have you.
Is it right? I don't know. They are his movies so to a point yeah, but I also agree that it's a disservice to the fans and what they have come to enjoy.
There are plenty of movies that have directors cuts produced later that make the movie much better, much more interesting, more insightful. I don't think any of these changes have done that, but the point is -we like it in some, but not in others.
He can do what he want if the work is entirelly his. But even if you write, direct, produce and edit the movie; there shall be still plenty of artists working with you in the product. So, i don't think he can change their work. And he only wrote and direct the prequels, no the OT: even episode iv was done with an immense ammount of help of other people, like the editing team (which saved the movie).
Lucas is a genious, but there is no excuse to change a piece of work, and not allowing people to have the original stuff (in any legal way)
I think the biggest complaint most people have is that George NEVER re-released the original theatrical versions, and feel like the special editions seem to replace them.
George Lucas hates himself
You missed the flyover Coruscant scene that wasn’t in the theatrical version but was in the DVD version and every version since.
I have a good prequel change. Delete them all.
Original.
NO!
Haha
fuck you rick berman rick what is it with ricks?
s2k kyle Hilarious and original!
Clone Trooper dialogue being added is easily the best.
People just jump on the hate bandwagon from RedLetterMedia and the 'Mr Plinkett' reviews that are entirely over praised...
Morgulvale No, people jump on this "The prequels were actually good" bandwagon for some inexplicable reason lately. And I mean lately, when I watched Hellogreedo the first time around, you couldn't find someone defending ep. 1-3 in the comments if you tried, now somehow loving the prequels is the cool thing to do I guess. Sane people have been crapping on these movies for ten+ years now, don't pretend like it's the other way around..
ADarthTokuDalek Well to be fair, you could have never watched the original trilogy in your life and still realise how putrid the prequels are. And yes, considering the alternative, being a OT purist is the only sane approach to the series.
You know, you can like the prequels AND be able to laugh at them, right? It's called looking at other viewpoints, and realizing that yours isn't the only one.
About as much as any college student, in any such case the plinket reviews are subjective and can be contested. It's more satire for entertainment than a review.
You're not the only who has noticed this 'shift' in mentality.. it was like a light switch.
The reason that shot at 1:42 becomes wider for its subsequent release is because the original shot gives the impression that Nute and (Rune, you say?) are looking down a hallway.
But they aren't, they're supposed to be watching the video-surveillance live-feed on their CCTV display.
The updated shot is better because we can more easily tell that it's a screen-monitor.
This visual is made even more concrete with the (basically black & white) monotone and static (which, without having seen this picture in motion rather than a video still image, appears to be modeled after the classic VHS-tracking-adjust lines, perhaps?)
Don't care what anybody says Episode 3 will always have the most emotional and intense lightsaber battle of all time
Nope, that honor goes to the lightsaber fight on Cloud City in Episode V. The entire Prequel trilogy is trash and there's not one good thing about it.
gamephreak5 stay in your own lane boi
sweet I was actually looking around RUclips to find the changes after your last video, this helped out
The IMAX version of Attack of the Clones seems like a pretty good movie
Though the scenes cut out in Episode II aren't great when watched, the intention of the scenes still build up for the whole episode III reveals imo.
Stop changing ... Oh the prequels? Who cares? ;)
Kevin Hagler everyone does 😉
Star Wars fans care
Kevin Hagler 😂
I care
I CARE
I'm gonna assume the reason for the transition wipe is because both the dvd and blu ray releases got the original footage straight from the theatrical film rather than borrow from one another. And the team working on the blu ray release didn't use any of the changes made by the dvd release team. Of course it's just my guess. I could be wrong.
The prequels are worse than the originals but they are still needed for the story and they aren't that bad.
Happy that you made this, man. Good video as always
Nothing was great about the prequels. I've deleted them from my mind.
Jasen Jahn clones my dude
Obi-wan, jango fett was way better than that "boba fett", jango at least killed smeone without jumping into a sarlacc, palpatine, pleagious, locations, starships, The Clone Wars.
super jedi player they could have made something original than just remake an already existent character (boba to jango). Don't see how something like this is way better.
I don't see how Plaugueis was a good part of the prequels when he was barely mentioned. It's like saying the clone wars was awesome in the OT just because it was mentioned in one scene.
Big chunks of Palpatines plan never made sense. That was something the prequel novels cleaned up and made much better.
Polemic Irrational i consider the store of pleagous quite interesting. also, while jango is a copy of boba, he's way better.
Whatever change it is it is still STAR WARS guys!
prequels are garbage
Your opinion is garbage ;)
+fundhund62 his opinion is actually truth. Your opinion is the one that's garbage.
gamephreak5 His opinion is false. Your opinion about his opinion is the one that’s garbage.
SiiT d0wN s0n I don't care about your opinion
i love the prequels for all the lore and mythology developments they added to the universe
Hey HelloGreedo, I think the reason why The Clone Troopers have sounding voices during the first scenes of the battle of Utapade in Episode 3 was to match up how the Clone Troopers were in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars both its movie and TV series in how they portrayed as.
Actually there was another change in The Phantom Menace Blu-ray version, in the Senate after Queen Amidala declares her vote of no confidence on Chancellor Valloram's leadership, you can hear everyone in the Senate chanting "Vote Now, Vote Now" in the Blu-ray version, they removed that and replaced it with just a bunch of random yelling, idk why they changed that because personally I liked the chanting
I know you don't like the prequels, so it's awesome that you would do this video. Happy to back you up on patreon. Keep it up, my friend.
i did rewatch episode I on disney+ and realized the pod race scene was alot longer which was really cool
The ideal Yoda would be a quality CGI rendering of the Yoda puppet from Episodes V and VI.
PREQUEL DESPECIALIZED EDITION LET'S GO
The whole introduction of the pod racers was added to the DVD of phantom menace. The whole pod race sequence is probably about five minutes shorter in the theatrical and VHS releases. Sorry to sound like a geeky know-it-all.
I always remember snaking fixing the engine but never on any other releases. I thought I was crazy
