I wish I could bottle the feelings I had on seeing EMPIRE opening night in 1980. It's still one of the great moviegoing experiences I've had. I had HUGE expectations for EMPIRE, and it didn't meet them--it exceded them. That's so very rare. To a 14 year old who loved SF, this movie was like meeting the Pope must be to a hardcore Catholic.
@@The_Marvelist I was 18yrs old at the time and you could hear the gasp of disbelief from the crowd when Darth Vader dropped the bomb shell on Luke's true lineage............the best SW episode out of all the franchise!
I can still remember leaving the theater and wondering Han Solo was dead or not. That was 3 years until I found out he was ok. Seeing Empire opening night was incredible
Ask any film critic around in 1980. Mind blowing. Jedi never reached those heights because it was filmed in a California forest. It never had the other worldliness of empire. Hoth, Dagoba, cloud city. Inspired.
@@juerv1 can't add more, but I guess it's also have something to do with general degradation of education, culture level of Western society and Western civilization's demise overall
I saw it when I was three. It was quite an unforgettable experience. My grandmother talked me down from the edge after the big revelation, Luke's hand deal, and the good guys losing and on the run.
Nothing will ever beat models, because they are actually real!!!! There is always something that feels off with CGI. I feel like the only Star Wars movie to ever do CGI well was Revenge of the Sith and maybe that's because they also blended it with models.
The scene at 1:39-2:56 is probably the best choreographed of the whole franchise. I can’t believe the sequel movies couldn’t even match what was made in the 80s.
This is crazy how astonishingly beautiful this movie looks. "Its beauty cold and austere". It's also deeply symbolic. See how the movie starts and ends with the nightfall (Luke getting lost in the snowstorm & the heroes fleeing the Cloud City as the sun sets and the night comes). Luke & his friends are like children, getting lost in the dark, finding themselves, and then running into the night alone again. This is one of the reasons why this film had such a tremendous emotional impact on children back in the day.
Imagine how much greater it would be. To restore the missing 48 minutes that was cut from the movie. Because they they thought no one would sit through a three hour movie at this time of year.
3:22. I love this scene of the Star destroyer firing on asteroids, the tie Bombers flying over larger asteroids and you can hear the explosions of the bombs going off in the distance. One of the greatest scenes in this movie.
When I saw it in 1980, I thought it couldn't end the way it did. Surely this is not the end of the movie. I was ready to stay in my seat for another three hours to get resolution.
@dojoguitare I felt the exact same way after it ended. I remember shouting alittle,not loud with my late father and older brother present with me,"That's all??" The experience didn't feel like 3 hrs had past. It was like an hour but overall it was considered terrific cinematic experience to cherish forever.
I LOVE THIS! The greatest Star Wars movie ever stripped down to just the space scenes! That's interesting, almost eight minutes of those scenes only. Who'd a thought that, huh? Thank you for putting this together! 1:47 like trying to hit a fly with a flyswatter! 😄
The unsung heros of Empire strikes back had to be those adrenalin junkie tie-fighter pilots who followed the falcon into the asteroid field in their unshielded tiny little fighters. they reached for the gold but didnt make it but, damn what moxy
I watched this as a 12 years old boy. I still remember the opressive feeling which overcomed me as I saw at the end the beaten and defeated rebels drifting hopelessly throughout the space. Pretty realistic for a SciFi fairy tale.
In 1999 I was a teaching assistant and led labs in Management Information Systems at a US University. Just for fun I created an online poll asking the undergraduate students which their favourite SW movie was and ESB came out on top, as expected 😊
Saw this with High School friends at a Drive-In, out in the boonies 10 minutes out of town clear night a gazzilion stars out….it was a light’s out night so everyone was in lawnchairs…no headlights when you left…we all had the Sound Box’s hung reverse on our windows so the entire drive-in was really loud…. It was beyond a good time…
I was grateful to see The FILMharmonic Orchestra play Star Wars: A New Hope live last Friday (Feb 16/24). After their 10 minute standing ovation they announced Empire Strikes Back next year. The auditorium went insane! Cannot wait!
Well, depending on your girlfriend that may be true, but as far as movies go I'll take the indoor theatre any day. The sound is going to be 10 times better, no cars driving by, and you're way closer to the screen. But the big difference is the audience reaction. In a crowded movie theatre you can feel the audience's emotions. Laughter, shock, surprise, startles, delight, screams, you can feel all of that and it makes a big difference. It's like having a laff track. When I watched Star Trek IV and Scotty said "Helloooo computer," everyone, especially all the nerds, belly laughed and honestly it created a sense of community amongst the audience. When I watch that movie at home, some jokes that got a big laugh in the theatre, like "Everyone remember where we parked," sail right by and they don't even register as jokes. I love watching movies with an audience. There is no comparison!
The Empire strikes back from opening credits to the space battles the romance of Han and Leia to Luke meeting yoda this movie was so awesome and finding out Darth Vader was Lukes dad made this movie a instant classic.
@@tbphillips9649 When the shadow fell over the standard ISD, I knew we were in for something good, and I was not disappointed! The SSD is far more menacing than the Death Star, IMO.
Youngsters wont recognise these clips. This , kiddies, is when visual effects were actually good & created a spectacle on a cinema screen. You wont have seen this before, just the cartoon CGI they use now.
I'm getting old. I watched that scene and thought "a big hole in the deck that anyone could fall into". How many days without a accident did the Death Star have? Not that it mattered as it blew up a week later.
Great video but a little disappointed that there was no reaction of from the bridge of one of the Star Cruise ships that nearly collided, but there was no dialogue except for the very end.
I wonder when the storm troopers clock in to work on their time card does the orchestral music start in the background,doesnt seem to be a fly zipper on their uniform if they need to go for a wee😂
The accidental effect is created by the synthesis of the film camera, the model, and the lighting. It has a unique beauty. Modern CG images are realistic but unattractive.
The Empire is no match against the technological and tactical might of the United Federation of Planet !!! A handful of Federation Starships commanded by Pikard, Janeway, Kirk.... could kick the entire Empires' ASS if Vader decides to invades The Federations' Sector 001 😊
Spaceship Porn 117 subscribers The Imperial II-class Star Destroyers and the Executor-class Super Star Destroyers are still awesome! BTW.... do you take any video requests for Spaceship Porn? I have a rather BIG LIST (Seriously! You really should really change the name of your channel to something more a bit more appropriate like "Spaceship Scenes" instead otherwise some kids overprotective parents might get the wrong idea and mistakenly think your channel is inappropriate.)!
am i the only person who wonders why those hyperspace pods can not be used as super long range missiles or Kamikaze Drones? just slap a huge warhead or multiple warheads in instead of the probe droid. This would work SUPER WELL when combined with a probe droid doing recon and calling down the strikes with extreme precision. It would be a great first strike weapon, very hard to defend against and be perfect for making a star destroyer far more effective with a much longer reach. Imagine a huge ion warhead loaded into those missiles and you could shut down an entire city or large orbital facility then have your fleet waiting on stand by immediately jump in and demand a surrender. even better you could disguise it as an asteroid so it would arrive in system looking harmless to anybody not watching closely and then the asteroids could wait for a command from hyperspace to start bombing their targets.
The empire concentrated so much on the falcon at the battle of hoth that they failed to contain the rebel ships leaving the planet making it a tactical victory at best.without that ship,the empire might have won the war.

To say Empire is one of the best movies ever would still not fully encapsulate how good it is.
It’s an alright movie.

The most beautiful Star War's movie ever made.
These cuts remind us why TESB is the best Star War movie.
The scene at 1:39-2:56 is probably the best choreographed of the whole franchise. I can’t believe the sequel movies couldn’t even match what was made in the 80s.
Actual storytelling and people who care about a movie’s performance will always beat political BS and CGI 😊
@@jonessoda4me1lol political bs. It's ok dude it's just star wars.

Saw EMPIRE at Liverpool Odeon un 1980 when it premiered. It was incredible and possibly the greatest movie experience ever.
Imagine how much greater it would be. To restore the missing 48 minutes that was cut from the movie. Because they they thought no one would sit through a three hour movie at this time of year.
this movie feels like it's the most space-oriented out of all 9, I didn't know it only had 8 minutes worth of space in it
There's so much flying that doesn't happen in space
By FAR the best episode of the whole series 👏
I am amazed how good this still looks after all those years! ❤
01:50 always loved the sound of the destroyers going reverse thrusters to avoid crashing.
В космосе нет вообще звуков. Там нет воздуха.)
There is no sound at all in space
Maybe there isn't any in space, but there is inside a space ship...and in a movie theatre.
@@pierre-xr4bp I bet you're fun at parties
The reason why these scenes age well is that they used only camera tricks and physical models and no CGI
Yea and because this is the digitally remastered version of the movie
Now your just being technical. Beam me up Scotty

I second that. A really excellent job. 🍺
In my world there are neither prequels nor sequels, just these awesome movies ❤.
Amen to that

This Is My Favorite Star Wars Movie
The improvements over the first film's ship movement and background compositing are truly impressive.
Man, did John Williams bring his A-game to EMPIRE or what?
This movie is his magnus opus, no doubts
No doubt‼️The Cloud City theme was 🔥
was about to say half of star wars is the god damn music its so good
By far the best sequel!!
this trilogy revolutionized science fiction movies👍👍👍
i will never forget. i was 10 years old and saw it in a cinema.. todays cinemas are a dying breed
Magic! Of my youth! Wonderful!
In 1999 I was a teaching assistant and led labs in Management Information Systems at a US University. Just for fun I created an online poll asking the undergraduate students which their favourite SW movie was and ESB came out on top, as expected 😊
This was Star Wars at its best. Everything that followed is schit.

plus.....you got to see a great movie!
Best one in the series.
I can’t believe how far Star Wars has fallen, from here to the Acolyte. Truly sad times
GOAT of th3 Skywalk3r saga
I was 9... this was absolutely mind blowing in the theater.
Han: "You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake, well this could be it sweetheart."
Leia: "I take it all back."
Well, to tell you the truth I had hoped I would be able to enjoy the moment a little longer.
The greatest sci-fi film ever made.

The Millennium Falcon is like a supporting cast member in this movie
Its the aluminum falcon bro
@@jonathanturek5846no it is called the Millennium Falcon, did you think it is made out of aluminum?
Love the scene at 6:43 where the Falcon and the Tie fighters look like mere fleas flying in the side trench of the Executor

When going to the movies was fun.
1:50 is still the coolest space shot in the Star Wars Saga.

The way everyone in the theater cheered when the death star blew up.
I love the space battles
gosh i wanted to see this

Nice work 😜🤘
some of them are not space scenes, but in a planet atmosphere
Wow... Just 8 minutes?!?
Great video but a little disappointed that there was no reaction of from the bridge of one of the Star Cruise ships that nearly collided, but there was no dialogue except for the very end.
Still a very important scene for proper scaling 4:18 I've read and seen some silly stuff about the size of the Falcon.

No wonder these movies were so popular and still are.
