I'm a 50 year old man sitting here with a grin on my face so wide it fckin hurts, This is absolutely brilliant and so well done... the timing of your smash cuts in alignment with the music just like the original opening and then when you hit us with the May 25 1977 part I think I did a little pee and squeal of glee. Awesome work.
Guess what? I am 57 and agree with the pee. Grew up on Gerry Anderson AND Star Wars. Why the hell did it take me so long to find this on YT!!! HOLY CRAP EPICNESS OFF THE SCALE!
It’s actually no joke. 97% of the crew probably worked on or knew somebody on Space 1999 - Brian Johansson who did Space 1999 was also the Special Effects Supervisor on the Empire Strikes Back. Small Galaxy
Watch this video again and see how perfectly the escape pod and exploding Death Star sync with the music. Actually, the entire edit is perfectly done. Where hyperspace is placed just before Han, to that cut to the x-wings in formation. Very dynamic. I could go on. Well done!
I’ve spent 52 years on this rock, and in all of that time I never realised I needed this in my life. What, there’s more? Oh good god, I think I can die happy now!
This is how it should’ve been!!! Omg 😲 wow! Someone get George Lucas on the phone or Rian Johnson or whoever and rerelease the whole goddamn series with this soundtrack instead! Proper 70’s camp! Nice.......
As I have been watching the "Space: 1999" live stream by Shout Factory's RUclips channel, the RUclips algorithm served me this video again. I really enjoy seeing the edit in "Space: 1999" format. Please do more! Perhaps Aliens? Again, 5 years after my original comment -- Bravo! - Alfred.
I cannot believe the exact synching..it is spaced 1999-d out!! Wonderful job...and yes,me too i wanna watch Space 1999 on one plasma with my left👀 eye and star wars on the other tele with my😜 right eye👀😶🙃
I had heard on a TV show that when they were making Star Wars everyone was expecting Lucas to use disco music and thought he was insane for using orchestrated music for the films soundtrack.
SPACE: 1999 had space dogfights in 1975-76. George Lucas visited the studios where it was filmed and was impressed with model work of Brian Johnson, Nick Alder and Martin Bower. Gerry & Sylvia Anderson were way ahead in this tv series, nevertheless, this a very good way of showing appreciation for their work. Thanks for the video.
Let me tell you how much this fucking rocks!!! 😲 The whole ‘this episode’ perfectly synchs-up with the Star Wars saga making it appear like it was a television series. Please continue this with the final trilogy (episodes), and you won’t have to change the opening credits. 😉
Like a glove! :-) Great job kid! Don't get cockey! 😀 Fun fact--Did you know Lucas wanted the name Eagle for the Millenium Falcon representing the Americans swooping in at the end of the WWII to save the day.
As a child I imposed upon my mother to take me to see Star Wars at the cinema - an unusual occurrance. Afterwards my mother opined that the SciFi on TV was better. I denied it, but secretly preferred Space: 1999.

Snap.. Only without the pee.

I remember “Space: 1999” - GREAT SHOW!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This makes me so very happy...I want to watch both Star Wars and Space 1999 again all at the same time now. :D
Imagine that actually happening as literally one and the same.
@@itsblitz4437 Swoon
All the Gerry Anderson shows are on RUclips and there's a Gerry Anderson RUclips channel as well.
i LOVE this re-imagined intro! If only George Lucas and Gerry Anderson met and chose to make some TV shows and movies together. Think of it!
I particularly loved how you used clips from the theatrical release for this brilliant mashup.
Somewhere George Lucas is watching this video and seething at the lack of special edition footage
@@crimsondynamo615 I doubt it.
Honestly, this made my day. Well done!
THAT was fuh-KING brilliant!!
Works for me. Loved Space 1999 when I was a kid.

Thing is a lot of the SFX guys who worked on Space 1999 also worked on Star Wars a few years later. :)
I'm afraid that isn't the case sir. :)
@@TreadwellJay Actually that is true. Brian Johnson worked on ESB and even won an Oscar for his work on it.
@@apezeroviking Good catch and touche'. :)
One guy is a far cry from "a lot of" the guys though. ;)
And everybody knows the link between the Millennium Falcon and the Eagle, right?
@@Donleecartoons In fact, the Empire aesthetic is lifted from Space 1999, right down to Andor today.
Space 1999 was the best sci Fi show ever, especially the first season.
I completely agree with your words. SPACE:1999!
This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Simply the single most satisfying thing I've watched in the whole of lockdown, both '20 and '21.
this video deserves loads more views...
I would love Star 1999 so much :-)
Utterly amazing, watch Space: 1999, War Games, and see the dogfight with Eagles and MK - IX Hawks (1975).
Just watched this from the Live for Films Facebook post. I grew up watching Space 1999 and Star Wars so this made me smile. 👏👏👏
Why this hasn’t more views is beyond me. This is brilliant! Imaginative and flawlessly executed! Well done! ✨👌✨
at least 1999 likes
We didn’t search for it but yet here we are 😊
This is how it should’ve been!!! Omg 😲 wow! Someone get George Lucas on the phone or Rian Johnson or whoever and rerelease the whole goddamn series with this soundtrack instead! Proper 70’s camp! Nice.......
Well, let’s not get Rian Johnson, let him do his Knives Out stuff and keep him as far away from the franchise as possible.
The release date was the icing on the cake. Wow
OK this is a stroke of genius. :D

That was TOO COOL!!! Space 1999 was my favorite television show of all time and Star Wars was my favorite motion picture of all time!! I LOVED IT!!!!
The coolest thing I've ever seen. Happy Breakaway Day!!
Gerry Anderson’s Star Wars
Huh, suddenly I’m very curious as to what that would look like.
Brilliant! Fan of both entities here. Lovely blend.
For some reason RUclips thought I needed to watch this...glad it did, awesome
This is Fantastic! Great Job.
Saw All THREE of Your interpretation of Star Wars with Space 1999 theme..... Truly STELLAR!!!

So cool! The editing is perfect and has a real sense of the Space 1999 editing. Well done! I love it!
This works hillariously well. Awesome job! :)

This is great! I grew up with both shows. Thanks for creating.
So beautifully done. My compliments!!

That was well edited! And Star Wars really did come out nearly same time as Space 1999 too!
👍👍👍👍
Absolutely fantastic creativity and editing.
Good lord! 1976 me would have been the happiest 8 year old on Earth if this was a thing back then.
Excellent work!!
Congratulations.
Best regards from Chile.
I loved both growing up!!!🖖🏾
These are great! Space 1999’s music was so good. You guys nailed it!!!
OOHHHH WOW Now that is great!!! Gotta love that YT algorithm, I was just watching Space 1999 and this came up. Superb, thanks!
This actually works really well .. great job!!!

Nice work! You caught the flavour and timing perfectly! 👏

This has won the internet for 2020.
A fitting tribute to two sci-fi classics of the 70s.
Might just watch that again. Was pretty cool
Brilliant, brilliant, class act.
I enjoyed this immensely!
This makes me so very happy.
love the Space 1999 theme!!
Like a glove! :-) Great job kid! Don't get cockey! 😀 Fun fact--Did you know Lucas wanted the name Eagle for the Millenium Falcon representing the Americans swooping in at the end of the WWII to save the day.

Nicely done! Subbed! Supporting with a LIKE 😀👍
One word...Superb!
That was awesome! I can't believe I haven't seen this before now, nicely done!
As a child I imposed upon my mother to take me to see Star Wars at the cinema - an unusual occurrance.
Afterwards my mother opined that the SciFi on TV was better. I denied it, but secretly preferred Space: 1999.
Just brilliant. Great job.
Beautiful, just great!
COMPLETELY BRILLIANT!! WOW!
You’ve made me so happy.
WoW-Amazing!! Great job.
Marvelous
That... Was... Awesome!!!!
Outstanding.
BRILLIANT.
