+Jupiter Journey Productions You are so right.. i'm getting ready to start my own homemade low-budget film, and it's going to look like crap without a soundtrack.. luckily my friend found some good music to put in it. John Williams made star wars watchable, and a soundtrack is going to help my crappy film too!
Sir Peter Cushing, was Extremely upset, when his wife, passed away, after suffering health problems, where she could not, have children. When Mrs. Helen Cushing, was living, She was, Peter's muse Peter Cushing , could, be any character. His adorable cuteness, is years of worry for his wife, friends , family, what he needed to do. I doubt, that, He is a Man, that easily forgives impertinence. He has politeness. He is also a Gentleman. He was hurting inside.
@Cliven Longsight she doesn't get enough credit. Sad. George made Star Wars she made it better.... The original trilogy was better than the prequel before the divorce.
@Cliven Longsight exactly, and it's the same with ESB, one of my top 3 greatest films of all time. it's obvious from those deleted scenes that without her it would've turned out to be sophomoric garbage like the prequels. george truly always had terrible instincts when it came to human interaction and dialogue. instead, through her skill at editing and irving kershner's direction we got philosophical space romance for all time. george lucas with totally free reign was a terrible thing.
It's actually really interesting that they had all the "alien" lines being spoken in English on-set, so the characters were actually having conversations, rather than the main characters having effective monologues broken up by roars or random sets of syllables.
It’s even cooler for the ones that didn’t get subtitles, like chewie. For my whole life I never knew what he was supposed to be saying, but then a few years ago I found a clip of the original scene without the roars. Now I want to know what he says through the whole movie
I think it’s funny that Dr. Evazan and Wuher the bartender have cockney accents in the original cut since the scenes were made in England but not dubbed yet.

@@crypticwizard5504 "Check mate" oh this is going to be fun. Well, for your infomation, the theatrical cuts of all of the original trilogy Star Wars movies recieve added scenes for the sole reason because Lucas has to butcher scenes. Thats it. The way they were made were perfect at first, only to be made worse over the last 40 years with new edits. Prime example, the Han and Greedo scene, another bit added with the Disney+ streaming service, because Lucas wanted it that way and didn't care when other people told him a change was good or bad, he would still do it.

@@EvanAviator In my opinion it did. I mean, you have a bounty hunter holding you at gun point and so it's either shoot or get shot. Simple enough, right? That's whay they do. But re-editing the scene multiple times ruined it.

Carrie Fisher had a hard time playing against Cushing because he was so disarmingly pleasant as a person, she had to pretend it wasn't Peter in order to think of Tarkin as a villain.
Considering how it looked to the actors at the time, it must have come as a huge surprise when their cheesy little movie about a Princess, farm boy, wizard and pirate got a huge following. It just goes to show that having faith in a great team of editors, writers and directors is very important.

@@NoSubsWithContent The temperatures in Tunisia should be very high that they couldn't bear to have something on. Many photographs of the shooting show the crew staff almost working only in shorts.
So glad I was born in 70 and got to experience all this when it was brand new! Seeing the movie in the theater with my dad, the toys at Christmas time, the collectable drinking glasses at Burger King,! Star Wars was everywhere and it was all new and exciting! It sure has been a wild ride! Love seeing the old footage. Cant imagine my life without Star Wars!!
Well, you have to consider that this all happened "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away". They hadn't yet invented those grippy-sole socks with kitty cat faces knit into the toes.
TrainFan 95 In respect to Mr. Prowse, that was indeed humorous hearing his voice say that... Good thing not only they dubbed James Earl Jones' voice in, but changing it to "Plans" instead "Tapes"... That doesn't sound right to fit in the SW universe... Though, on the other hand, in Guardians of the Galaxy, Tape exists...
I would watch the shit out of the originals with the original voice cues left in. No voice modulation for vader, no james earl jones, english speaking chewie, english speaking aliens lol
And to think that George Lucas actually considered using a disco music soundtrack for the movie as disco was king at this time. Fortunately, he decided to go with John Williams, instead.
@@starwarsrebel2006 shortly after, the movie was out, in the summer of 77' they had the disco version of star wars, theme. How do i know? My best friend at the time, was the first to buy it, in our neighbourhood, and he let me listen, to it. Ahhhh good ole, star wars, moments & memories.😀
@@ericechols7638 I remember that. I had the vinyl LP titled, "Disco Fever," and the Star Wars disco them was one of the tracks on the record. The name of the group was Maco, if I remember correctly.
@@starwarsrebel2006 yeah, your right maco & the album cover had a space man space woman dancing together, on a planet. I was listening to it a week, ago. It was a Star Wars Summer, that's for sure!😀👍Good times!
Sad that the actual actor who portrayed Vader gets almost no credit as it all just goes to James Earl Jones for the voice. Edit: it's also sad to see how many people don't know the difference between Credit and performance.
Saw Star Wars after my 6 grade graduation at a Theater in Manhattan, picked up the souvenir booklet at the concession stand . Sci-fi until then was low budget stuff and Star Wars was no different, but it was ! Brought the genre to the forefront. Even resurrected Star Trek . Thanks George !
David Prowse gave Vader a specific gait and movement that just isn't duplicated by others. Out of all the fiction it is, it says something about the duality of Vader.
They have like 3 people to play him. The body, voice, and unmasked version. That's why he sounds like that. Its the body actor who's talking but his voice wasn't intimidating enough
Those that have been overwhelmed their entire life with cgi can’t imagine what it was like watching the first Star Wars. Effects that we yawn at now were incredible back then. The first scene of the destroyer chasing the other ship was jaw dropping back then
For extra hilarity points, keep in mind the story that Peter Cushing found the boots of his costume too tight and instead wore slippers during filming. So he's already partway towards chillin' out.
David Prowse was perfect as Vader, but watching this it does make you realise that, despite his claims stating that he was led to believe that his voice would be used, there was no way Lucas could ever have used it. Carrie Fisher referred to him as Darth Farmer, and watching this, he does sound like a very annoyed farmer. “Oi, get of my land!!!”
You can see why the cast all thought it was going to be shit.
Agreed
Richard Dale This is a very valid point.
they didn't ALL think that...
I bet most of them did. Luckily they all had faith in George Lucas. When they were shooting it though they most have feared the worse.
.well for many of them it was work..and a pay check.. and in the late 70's.. the only great sci fi flick was ALIEN.. star wars was so ambitious and so head of its time..
It really never occurred to me that they were shooting blanks.

@@PNW_Viking now he is dead
?
Alien Verde YT he didn’t die but he was on severe pain from the burn
Can we take a moment of silence to remember the guy who had to hold down C-3PO’s legs for that scene and had an awfully red sunburned back at 13:44?
pff ha ha I saw that too!! probably a stand in as a tusked raider
Why couldn't they just give him something to cover his back
@@NoSubsWithContent The temperatures in Tunisia should be very high that they couldn't bear to have something on. Many photographs of the shooting show the crew staff almost working only in shorts.
@@Nolroa oof
RIP
0:59 when you realize that Han was the originator of the "this is where the fun begins" meme 👁️👄👁️
David Prowse actually looks like an older version of Hayden. They should have shown his face in later movies.
Darth Vader without the voice of James Earl Jones :D
Sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger xD
"stuck in the 8 track machine, lord vader.!" :-0
I just realized that David Prowse's voice was the inspiration for Dark Helmet voice in Space Balls..
Thanks for pointing that out! I simply never realized. And the voice-parody is really spot on too! Gotta love Space Balls for that. :D
Ethan Baker Same thing with Han’s scene with Greedo. That scene would’ve felt so weird if Greedo spoke english
Therapist: Chewbacca speaking english doesn't exist he can't hurt you.
Chewbacca speaking english: 7:26
@God of the Dogs Peter Mayhew was British. He worked in a hospital before being hired by George upon *standing up* at the casting call.
@God of the Dogs Lewd.
It reminded me of Roddy McDowell in Planet of the apes!!
God of the Dogs *fuck fact*
Evan Bell fuck
So glad I was born in 70 and got to experience all this when it was brand new! Seeing the movie in the theater with my dad, the toys at Christmas time, the collectable drinking glasses at Burger King,! Star Wars was everywhere and it was all new and exciting! It sure has been a wild ride! Love seeing the old footage. Cant imagine my life without Star Wars!!
The 7 in '77 Club! Hollah! 😎
Oh my God, the Stormtroopers slipping all over the place had me in hysterics.
No wonder they can't shoot anything!
Well, you have to consider that this all happened "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away". They hadn't yet invented those grippy-sole socks with kitty cat faces knit into the toes.
6:31 Proof that Han shot first!
7:10 “Jack!”
*Huh, what? Where’d everyone go?!*
I am honoured to be a gonk droid
LOL! Oh my God, so funny!!! :)
Mark Hamill asking the proper inflection on supernova. No wonder he's an amazing voice actor.
I never actually stopped to realize that actors are routinely placed near exploding pyrotechnics and are expected to stay focused and in-character.
7:09 JACK!
*Gonk droid proceeds to break programing.*
I'm assuming that's Jack Purvis, who also played the head Jawa and costarred in Time Bandits.
I like the comic improv after he realized the take was already ruined.
I'd swear that was still in the movie..
I couldn't help laughing when David Prowse yelled "Where are those TAPES?!".
TrainFan 95 it's like watching Space Balls.
TrainFan 95 In respect to Mr. Prowse, that was indeed humorous hearing his voice say that... Good thing not only they dubbed James Earl Jones' voice in, but changing it to "Plans" instead "Tapes"... That doesn't sound right to fit in the SW universe... Though, on the other hand, in Guardians of the Galaxy, Tape exists...
+odiemodie1 Haha very clever, love Guardians of the Galaxy.
"That old man's mad"...lol
That's how the kylo ren character ended up
Even these blooper reels are more authentic and exciting than the disney sequels.
100% True.
It’s time to move on mate.
@@Lucy-yc4bc Absolutely. There are many other amazing sagas out there. It's best to get the best of each and avoid the trash.
@@Doomzdayxxdouble murder 💀
@@randomguythesequel3745fr he’s not wrong too😂😂
Can you imagine just wearing the first ever Darth Vader costume to become such a iconic villain it's just crazy to think about
"But she's beautiful"
"So is life kid"
Lmao
@Han Lockhart That's the difference between a teen going thru puberty and a realistic guy who's DONE with puberty XD

lololololol
@@gameraider100 well luke was like 25 at the time...
@@TashaVanHuss well, 19 in universe, 21 irl, there's only 20 years between episode 3 and episode 4
This honestly changes my perspective of the entire movie. A lot of hard work and dedication had to go into making those scenes.
Q-Tip 47 ...after seeing this...even i would have said this would be a shit movie
Q-Tip 47 - Yep. Long before computer generated stuff, it was all done by hand and could take months for one scene.
Back in the day people worked hard for something even of they thought it would fail. Now, JJ thinks he can just glide by on an existing franchise
Like with every movie lol
And you didn't think that before you saw this?
After all those explosions, it's a wonder that the actors have any hearing left at all.
Wow, these scenes are gold, especially seeing the people from almost 50 years ago behind the scenes putting everything together.
The guy doing greedo’s lines sounds like the potion seller guy
Elder scrolls?

I was thinking that myself
"My hand is too quick for you, smuggler. You'd better negotiate with a bounty hunter with a slower draw"
Pratchett's Cut Me Own Throat Dibbler.
7:25
Chewbacca speaking English is canon until further notice.
No gosh pls no
And Greedo's English accent too!
I would watch the shit out of the originals with the original voice cues left in. No voice modulation for vader, no james earl jones, english speaking chewie, english speaking aliens lol
Learning Station 6 Yeah but keep the James Earl Jones voice in my opinion
Some woodies could speak English, it was a speech impediment. - Heir to the empire.
"She is beautiful"
"So is life"
This is so Han xd
Plot twist: the stormtroopers are using actual blasters.
"name it, now! Before I go home..."
We feel you, Tarkin.

"Now, Princess. There's no need for attacks on character. This is a professional disagreement between legitimate galactic factions."

@@coreyander286 (forgive the prequel reference)
"My skills have doubled since the last time met, Count."
"Good, twice the ego, double the angst."
@@umbrvalken It probably didn't help much to the fact that the actor playing Tarkin was wearing slippers. lol
The best part is that I'm pretty sure he was going to say 'Before I go home in disgrace' but it cut out too early
5:28 Imagine this being Greedo’s actual voice
Honestly it could’ve worked
That would be awesome. I want to record his voice and listen to it daily
His laugh roools
@Cats in Cars Nope sorry! I find that impossible to believe. Next you will be telling me that there is more than one John :)
i honestly love his voice for greedo
After seeing this I fully believe the stuntmen when they see they couldn’t see a thing out of the stormtrooper helmet.
The Landspeeder floating effect using a mirror is still to this day infinitely superior to ANY CGI attempts to master the effect.
It's so ingenious!
...and every small bump or rock ruins one set of mirrors.
@@brokencigarette3017 Same effect used by circus carnivals for at two centuries now.
8:18
“You came in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.”
“Nice.”
💀💀💀
I think she also says "...oh god..." under her breath between those two lines.
I don't understand.
I thought she said "bigger"than I thought not braver lmao 🤣
That's probably gonna get meme'd now lol
That's what Lemmy said to Ozzy that time...
3:48 this is what made Darth Vader effective. an aggressive actor over dubbed by calm voice
@C.F.P.N Hans bring ze luger wehraboo
the blooper was just David Prowse trying to act.
@Mr. Rosenberg no, he already knew it they didn't going to use his voice.
@Mr. Rosenberg He always knew he was going to be dubbed over.
@Mr. Rosenberg honestly, we're all glad he was voiced over. Even with effects, his voice doesn't match Vader at all.
Ah, the good ol' days when stormtroopers had machineguns.
Seeing this made me remember how cool the theater was just before the movie started. Star Wars was still an unknown quantity at the end of May 1977.
Thank God for James Earl Jones!
lol indeed :D
MetalSonic And a SFX Chewie, not Peter Mathew. ("That old man's mad.")
Mark Daniels I would actually like to see more of that Chewie who speaks basic
+Jeff Sol - >>> I was actually more frightened of his voice than his imposing size when i first saw SW as a 9 year old.
MetalSonic James Earl Jones is the man! 😃
Holy shit, John Williams music MADE this movie
No the force made this movie.😀
And to think that George Lucas actually considered using a disco music soundtrack for the movie as disco was king at this time. Fortunately, he decided to go with John Williams, instead.
@@starwarsrebel2006 shortly after, the movie was out, in the summer of 77' they had the disco version of star wars, theme. How do i know? My best friend at the time, was the first to buy it, in our neighbourhood, and he let me listen, to it. Ahhhh good ole, star wars, moments & memories.😀
@@ericechols7638 I remember that. I had the vinyl LP titled, "Disco Fever," and the Star Wars disco them was one of the tracks on the record. The name of the group was Maco, if I remember correctly.
@@starwarsrebel2006 yeah, your right maco & the album cover had a space man space woman dancing together, on a planet. I was listening to it a week, ago. It was a Star Wars Summer, that's for sure!😀👍Good times!
That moment when they put the final part of the helmet on David Prowse's head and he becomes Darth Vader... That was magical.
1:40 is pretty realistic soldiers literally slipping during combat, getting their gear caught on shit and it coming off.
Sad that the actual actor who portrayed Vader gets almost no credit as it all just goes to James Earl Jones for the voice.
Edit: it's also sad to see how many people don't know the difference between Credit and performance.
Louis Woodward Every Star Wars fan knows it was David Prowse.
I saw a documentary about it on Netflix. I think it was called I am your father.
That guy also played 3PO, don't worry :)
What gets me is he didn't know they changed the voice till he went to the cinema, that's messed up
Yeah
Peter Cushing breaking character and grabbing Carrie Fisher's shoulders as she smiles is wholesome af and i love it.
The two of them got along so well that Carrie had a hard time acting as if Tarkin was the villain.
Bless both of them. RIP
Saw Star Wars after my 6 grade graduation at a Theater in Manhattan, picked up the souvenir booklet at the concession stand .
Sci-fi until then was low budget stuff and Star Wars was no different, but it was !
Brought the genre to the forefront. Even resurrected Star Trek . Thanks George !
0:14 I can't believe C3P0 fell over 🤣🤣🤣
The heat.
Chewie (In calm, harmless voice): "That old man is mad!
Han: You said it Chewie
mixererunio yes, yes he did
The fact that he has a British accent makes it a thousand times funnier
1:26 this dude really just fell and then acted as if he was just shot down i love it
Adapt and overcome!
Nice catch, then he literally gets stepped on a few seconds later.
Modern problems require modern solutions
Alex 70’s problems require 70’s solutions
Kristen, yes 😊
I think it's amazing that they built the whole set for the death star hallways with barely any blue screen
David Prowse gave Vader a specific gait and movement that just isn't duplicated by others. Out of all the fiction it is, it says something about the duality of Vader.
I love that clueless gonk droid.
@@Vilgotczky Huh?
Me too
Undubbed Vader is the most cursed thing I've ever heard
No, undubbed Chewbacca is.
They have like 3 people to play him. The body, voice, and unmasked version. That's why he sounds like that. Its the body actor who's talking but his voice wasn't intimidating enough
@@craigjohnson2721 I didn't know that there was a fourth after for the dueling. Thanks
David prowse died 2 days ago
I thought it was Rick Morranis from space balls;)
1:03 Alec's facial expression reaction made me think of Marty Feldman as Igor in Young Frankenstein.
Those that have been overwhelmed their entire life with cgi can’t imagine what it was like watching the first Star Wars. Effects that we yawn at now were incredible back then. The first scene of the destroyer chasing the other ship was jaw dropping back then
4:27 Vader sounded like an SS officer.
10 David lol
Uuuh. No shit. They have Nazi helmets. They're just space Nazis.
Knights of the Nine I’m pretty sure Vader’s helmet was designed after a samurai armor’s helmet in a Tokyo museum...
James Earl Jones didn't do the voice over yet
I laughed that part when vader yawns when they dressed him
0:51 - “Dah guh huh ah, name it, now! Before I go home and strip.”
- Grand Moff Tarkin
Moff tarkin.
But is Moff wakin?
For extra hilarity points, keep in mind the story that Peter Cushing found the boots of his costume too tight and instead wore slippers during filming. So he's already partway towards chillin' out.
Wait what
7:16 I loved how that trooper was peaking through the doorway
David Prowse was perfect as Vader, but watching this it does make you realise that, despite his claims stating that he was led to believe that his voice would be used, there was no way Lucas could ever have used it. Carrie Fisher referred to him as Darth Farmer, and watching this, he does sound like a very annoyed farmer. “Oi, get of my land!!!”
