.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..
@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.
+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!

@@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.

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.
I quite liked it as a scene/shot. It made it feel like the Death Star was such a huge place that people could just wander around and hide in plain site. 'I don't know, fly casual'
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.
+bob rew Spielberg actually *KNEW,* or made a very good educated and intelligent guess? Serious question from a very obsessed Star Wars fan, to whom *ALL* Star Wars-related knowledge is a gem! Thanks in advance if you find time to answer this... :)
In the Marvel comics version that line got left in. As well as deleted scenes with Luke talking to other Tattooine friends his own age, and Han talking to Jabba (and Jabba was only human size)
Kevin Jokipii, have you seen an old Marvel Star Wars comic called "Silent Drifting"? There's a flashback showing a younger Obi-Wan Kenobi wearing something very similar to what Luke wore in ROTJ.

That is a genius practical effect with the speeders: cover the wheels with mirror panels across the whole bottom so it reflects the ground and appears to hover. This movie had such amazing propwork and practical effects its ridiculous.
“There in he video shop Vader” -“Wha......? “The fuckin’ video shop?” “So everyone in the galaxy is jackin’ off to our fuckin’ video? Ahh feel sick?” -Defo think Mr Prowse was the more Psycho Vader! Sounds better coming from Somerset if ye ask me?
@@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.
That's actually a cut scene of him watching the battle in orbit. It was in the original novelization, based on first drafts of the script. There are bits of dialog of him talking to some local 'friends' who show open disdain and disrespect for him, as he pines about wanting to become a pilot and join the Rebellion. I never knew they actually filmed that scene.
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.
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.
He didn't hate it. He enjoyed the filming. In fact, he pulled a prank on Mark Hamill when they're not shooting. He just don't want to be known only as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Also some Star Wars fans irritated him.
@@P.Whitestrake This is what I feel about all the actors. Even I get irritated myself when ppl just see certain actors as only one role *ahem* marvel *ahem*
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...
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!
the one thing that stands out the most is obviously how physical everything was.... all the explosions, debris, blanks, stunts. and even though the film is raw and untreated it still looks exactly like it does in the final product. really amazing what they managed to do.
if you rewatch this, look at fords scene where he shoots greedo. the blank from his gun literally blows his hair up. if you do keys "," and "." you can go frame by frame
At that time, the director of photography adjusted the visual environment and lighting almost getting the final look through special filters on camera. The postproduction laboratory processes were for minor adjustments and corrections if necessary.
Lucas had one of the most talented editors in the industry at the time, his ex-wife Marcia. Just look at her CV before Star Wars. Marcia Lucas and John Williams saved the film in many regards.
+bob rew Very true. Just look at how vastly superior (and different, notably...) in all ways Star Wars is, when compared with the only previously even slightly notable film Lucas had produced - that being "American Graffiti". In fact, and in my lifelong opinion, as someone who was ten years old when Star Wars was released and who became an instant and lifelong expert fan, it is my opinion that Lucas did more harm than good to the wonder that is Star Wars (the original, not-vandalised-by-Lucas [i.e. so-called "Special Edition"] version, naturally). Of course Lucas had much assistance and talented support (John Williams... who can even criticise?) which was beyond his own limited ability. Just look what he did when he really *WAS* let loose, unrestrained... yes, "The Phantom Menace" and the increasingly appalling other "Prequels". Need I say more? I don't even want to... haha :) And it is certainly true that Empire, in which Lucas had a far *LESSER* hand than in either Star Wars or Jedi, must be acknowledged, due to its vastly superior production and direction values (and *MUCH* larger budget...), to be a "better" film when considered on purely cinematic grounds - although Star Wars will always own my heart, and has an almost mystical power to charm and hypnotise the viewer. Could pea-brained Lucas pull that off alone, or even with assistance? I do have my doubts! No but seriously. I actually would go so far as to suggest (not without good reason, either, but I dont want to get sued!), that Lucas did not even write Star Wars himself at all... ;)
interesting points you've made; as far as Lucas writing SW alone, i think that he had help from the mrs (Marcia) and he definitely sought the help of joseph campbell on Empire and jedi. Alas, he forced out one of the most important people who made SW and Empire so great; Gary Kurtz. He allowed Irvin Kurshener to experiment while filming, which helped send Empire over budget (among other things like rising FX costs, reshoots, etc), so Lucas had to go begging to Fox for money to finish the movie. He hated doing that, and heads rolled afterwards. Lucasfilm would say that all the movies lost staff after productions ended though. Hmm. :-/ Ironically, Kurtz encouraged Lucas to shoot retakes while making SW, and we got a much better movie because of that. But as you say, his changes have ruined the movie - I think it has also diminished my childhood memories of SW, and I will not watch the not-so special editions again. i have to disagree about the prequels though - at least Attack of the Clones is far watchable than that TFA crap, which was a total insult. But at least Rogue One redeemed itself, after a turgid fast half.
Hearing David Prowse (Darth Vader) temporarily recite Vader's lines with his thick accent muffled under that helmet is great! 😆 It's amazing what what a little voice acting and sound fx can do. For the people on set suddenly Vader went from hilarious to the imposing cybernetic Sith Lord we all know and love.
Without his voice being heard or his face being seen, he did a great job acting the part. The set of his shoulders. The tilt of his head, conveyed a lot. RIP David Prowse.
6:55 "Clear the corridor!" ~droid keeps walking~ "Jack!" ~droid freezes, looks around, panicked~ I love it. Also where Harrison eats the mic when he forgot his line.
He's actually talking to the stormtrooper who you can still see in the doorway who ruined the shot. Jack Purvis is the droid and is doing what he is supposed to.
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
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
“No, no, no, Han! I’ve seen her, she’s so beautiful!” “So is life.” I wish that were in the movie in someway because the way Ford delivered that line was hilarious.
These aren’t really bloopers. They appear to be many of the final takes for such scenes, just beyond the cutting and editing used in the film. This film was truly saved in the edit.
Eriamjh 1138 They are least partially outtakes. We do not see that bit in the final bit where the stage hand runs up to the man unconscious! And some of these scenes are definitely not the takes used the film.
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!!
I only now realize why Solo put his leg up on the table during the conversation with Greedo....he was hiding the fact he was reaching for his blaster. The outtakes here show it very well, I never realized it from watching the final scene/camera angles.
Love how Peter Cushing nailed his line up until literally the moment he had Carrie staring at him right in the eyes at point blank range --- and he just has an honest moment where he melted... and she felt it.. c: What a beautiful moment.
Carrie,God bless her,had to have her breasts taped down!😍🤗😗 She was my first crush,the second was Judi Bowker(Clash of the Titans)the original and FAR SUPERIOR version!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just love the "retro-futuristic" aesthetic of the original trilogy. I wish they kept it as a defining aesthetic for the series for the following trilogy and future movies
I love the original trilogy aesthetic too. But for me it works better in the 70s. Personally I like the new aesthetics even if they make it weird watching the movies chronologically by making it look like technology got worse over time lol. But yeah personally I don’t think that this style would work with how our movies look now. I still love it in the originals though. Really grounds me into the world.
One thing that's really cool about seeing the pre-edit footage: The reason the blaster fire looks so much more real than a lot of old movies "Ray gun" effects is they actually were firing blanks out of real modified weapons. In star trek and sci fi of that era they would just be holding a fiberglass prop and add in a cheesy beam in post. You don't get the little details like the real recoil and real smoke and blast coming out of the muzzle.
Yes it was superb making them use blanks, loud ones at that, and the actors blink and flinch realistically when they fire their blasters, especially Luke and Leia who are not accustomed to shooting as much as Han is. Combining a blank firing gun with a gun that shoots laser rays was genius
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.
"This ship carries the crest of Alderaan. Was there any of the royal family on board? Who were you CARRYING!?" These lines from Vader are canon to me now! LoL
Monotail for one that guy is still laying there when the camera moves on. Second you see a guy rush up to him like he is dying. Three you can see a bit of smoke coming out of his chest. So yea he was dying.
@@stormycode16plays59 Well, we’re all dying if you really think about it. But no, his prop armor was on fire. You can see the flame. He was a professional for not moving. The crew ran in to put it out when the scene was cut. That’s all. Pretty sure no extras died in filming. That would be one of those big Star Wars trivia things, like Princess Leia’s extra long pinky fingernail in Return of the Jedi.
@@Frostbid Useless. Prowse was misled into taking the roll. He didn't know his voice wouldn't be used and he didn't know his face wouldn't be visible. Showing ones name is hardly any recognition without any connection to ones voice or face.
@@EverHappyDude Credits are far from useless, but I get what you mean. Given how popular the film ended being, there are understandably lots of regrets afterwards. Same probably goes for giving Sir Guinness movie royalties, for letting Lucas run with the merchandise rights, etc. It scaled so far out of proportions that it frustrated lots of the stars. The Princess Diarist by CF has lots of examples of this.
I recommend watching his Hammer films. Some are actually good if you like that type of horror films. I really wonder if Lucas considered Christopher Lee to be Vader in voice and body.
Funnily enough, for most of his scenes notice how his feet are out of frame? If he didn't have a full body shot, he was wearing slippers because he found the boots too uncomfortable.
@@Paulafan5 if I remember correctly he actually wanted Christopher Lee as Tarkin, but he turned it down, hence why they gave it to Peter Cushing. When Attack of the Clones came around he realized he shouldn’t skip out on Star Wars again since it ended up being a huge success.
8:06 They literally just walked past 2 Imperial Officers and didn't get caught, it's weird what the comedy could have been like if scenes like these weren't cut.
I would assume that the intention was that it wasn't uncommon for civilians to be onboard. Once the editing process stated it must have seen very out of place and questionable. Considering the size of the death star, it wouldn't be a stretch for most of the crew to have no idea that anything was happening.
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.
At 8:00-8:08... they just walk right past a couple Imperial officers, and aren't stopped? "Yeah, this ragtag bunch of non-uniformed beings, including a furry ape, look like they belong here. Go ahead. Excuse us."
It really never occurred to me that they were shooting blanks.
Gauge Wiley that's why the blasters inthe OT feel so powerful: they were functioning cartridge firing props
ya!
thats what i thought when i saw this.
razorfett147
It also helped syncing the beam effects added later in post-production.
MosoKaiser that is correct
The most surprising part of this for me is learning Chewie actually had lines
So did jabba and groot and a lot of alien characters
@Cristi Lopataru yeah from the Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy.
I think they did it so the other actors could understand how to react to Chewie when he spoke, to minimize confusion. The growls replaced it later.
Greedo also spoke with a british accent
@@ramonecastro originally Jabba was a space pirate gangster so were his crew. Space Pirates!

It's always interesting to me to see how people interpreted the backstory to Star Wars before the Prequels came out

Peter Cushing was quite the actor.
Carrie's reaction is really cute, too. It's sweet knowing she looked up to him, and he was a really likeable person on set.
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.
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.

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.😀

if you rewatch this, look at fords scene where he shoots greedo. the blank from his gun literally blows his hair up. if you do keys "," and "." you can go frame by frame
At that time, the director of photography adjusted the visual environment and lighting almost getting the final look through special filters on camera. The postproduction laboratory processes were for minor adjustments and corrections if necessary.

They knew exactly which lines to get rid of. Brilliant piece of editing, this film.
Lucas had one of the most talented editors in the industry at the time, his ex-wife Marcia. Just look at her CV before Star Wars. Marcia Lucas and John Williams saved the film in many regards.
Yep. It's no surprise Stars Wars won the Oscar for best editing in '77.
not just Marcia L. Rcihard Chew & Paul Hirsch had A LOT to do with it too,
+bob rew
Very true. Just look at how vastly superior (and different, notably...) in all ways Star Wars is, when compared with the only previously even slightly notable film Lucas had produced - that being "American Graffiti".
In fact, and in my lifelong opinion, as someone who was ten years old when Star Wars was released and who became an instant and lifelong expert fan, it is my opinion that Lucas did more harm than good to the wonder that is Star Wars (the original, not-vandalised-by-Lucas [i.e. so-called "Special Edition"] version, naturally).
Of course Lucas had much assistance and talented support (John Williams... who can even criticise?) which was beyond his own limited ability. Just look what he did when he really *WAS* let loose, unrestrained... yes, "The Phantom Menace" and the increasingly appalling other "Prequels". Need I say more? I don't even want to... haha :)
And it is certainly true that Empire, in which Lucas had a far *LESSER* hand than in either Star Wars or Jedi, must be acknowledged, due to its vastly superior production and direction values (and *MUCH* larger budget...), to be a "better" film when considered on purely cinematic grounds - although Star Wars will always own my heart, and has an almost mystical power to charm and hypnotise the viewer. Could pea-brained Lucas pull that off alone, or even with assistance? I do have my doubts!
No but seriously. I actually would go so far as to suggest (not without good reason, either, but I dont want to get sued!), that Lucas did not even write Star Wars himself at all... ;)
interesting points you've made; as far as Lucas writing SW alone, i think that he had help from the mrs (Marcia) and he definitely sought the help of joseph campbell on Empire and jedi. Alas, he forced out one of the most important people who made SW and Empire so great; Gary Kurtz. He allowed Irvin Kurshener to experiment while filming, which helped send Empire over budget (among other things like rising FX costs, reshoots, etc), so Lucas had to go begging to Fox for money to finish the movie. He hated doing that, and heads rolled afterwards. Lucasfilm would say that all the movies lost staff after productions ended though. Hmm.
:-/
Ironically, Kurtz encouraged Lucas to shoot retakes while making SW, and we got a much better movie because of that. But as you say, his changes have ruined the movie - I think it has also diminished my childhood memories of SW, and I will not watch the not-so special editions again.
i have to disagree about the prequels though - at least Attack of the Clones is far watchable than that TFA crap, which was a total insult. But at least Rogue One redeemed itself, after a turgid fast half.
Hearing David Prowse (Darth Vader) temporarily recite Vader's lines with his thick accent muffled under that helmet is great! 😆
It's amazing what what a little voice acting and sound fx can do. For the people on set suddenly Vader went from hilarious to the imposing cybernetic Sith Lord we all know and love.
Without his voice being heard or his face being seen, he did a great job acting the part. The set of his shoulders. The tilt of his head, conveyed a lot. RIP David Prowse.

One thing that's really cool about seeing the pre-edit footage: The reason the blaster fire looks so much more real than a lot of old movies "Ray gun" effects is they actually were firing blanks out of real modified weapons. In star trek and sci fi of that era they would just be holding a fiberglass prop and add in a cheesy beam in post. You don't get the little details like the real recoil and real smoke and blast coming out of the muzzle.
Except in Return of the Jedi xd
i think the blanks are awesome. Maybe someone out there has an actual gun from one of these, and maybe shoots with it!!
It sure helped, but we don't do that nowadays.
Yes it was superb making them use blanks, loud ones at that, and the actors blink and flinch realistically when they fire their blasters, especially Luke and Leia who are not accustomed to shooting as much as Han is. Combining a blank firing gun with a gun that shoots laser rays was genius
