The king-daddy of science fiction media today.. sort of like Fallout 4 is the lord of post-apocalyptic RPGs, Star Wars needs no introduction. Thus, I'll just use this blurb to point out that until the early 80s, the film was just called "Star Wars" as "Episode IV: A New Hope" wasn't tacked onto it just yet. That was but the first of the mountain of modifications the movie took on over the years.

First saw this movie in a drive in. Also have the original movies all on tape. Hidden. From the Lucas Ninjas.
you can make a lot of money selling those. a lot.
Not really. They are still worth something (unlike most VHS films), but not what you'd think seeing as there is such a demand for the theatrical versions. There are copies on ebay right now for under $5. Personally, I have two versions on VHS...the first widescreen boxed set, and the widescreen THX release. I also have the DVD release with the theatrical versions (crappy quality) as bonus discs. I still have not purchased the blu ray edition, and I will not until they release the the theatrical versions with a proper remaster. Lucas has taken enough of my money over the years.
He's only really out to destroy copies of the Christmas Special.
I have OG trilogy on Beta, VHS, Laserdisc and Video CD. Laserdisc version ans Beta are origunal THEATRICAL versions before 1st round of edits including OG Palpatine.
Right. Because you and your movie collection are THAT important...
First classic kaiju movies and now this. 10/10 review channel in my opinion. Oh and the correct term is Space Opera but it's almost the same.
Fun fact Mark Hamill never would’ve known about the Luke Skywalker role if it wasn’t for his roommate making the suggestion and who was Mark Hamill’s roommate at the time?
Robert fucking England
Trunks Vegeta Briefs Robert Englund, as in Freddy Krueger?
@@octoson5944 Yup! So Freddy helped save the galaxy!
Robert Englund also auditioned for Han Solo.
@@donwinslow522
Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) and Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) were also considered for Han Solo.

Decker Shado Did you know that this R5-D4 nicknamed Skippy, could use the Force? After seeing a vision of Luke
Skywalker's future, Skippy made it appear that his motivator
malfunctioned so that Owen Lars could purchase R2-D2 and Skywalker could
fulfill his destiny as a Jedi Knight
Decker here is some strange back story about the droid Luke's uncle was going to buy but than it broke. That droid (in the expanded universe) was actually able to use the force and was able to sense that luke needed to make contact with R-2 so the droid sacrificed its self so R-2 had to be bought
Wow. I've heard some nonsense from the Star Wars EU but that takes the cake. Not going after the EU in general, some of it is flat out amazing, but there's also so much guff.
Lnks Claybitblocks Fuck that shit. Stick to good old canon
They see Me rollin True. I hate some of the expanded universe (including this) but it is interesting to know
Actually that story was non-canon even in the EU. It was an infinity story. Still pretty dumb.
PhobisProductions thank god that was that was never canon
I agree with you, Decker. Almost every kind of droid in the Star Wars universe has shown some kind of sentience, so it's kind of disturbing that they're often discarded and destroyed nonchalantly.
Star Wars should be labeled as a "Space Western"
Fiction Fantasy 🤷🏻♂️
I think it's the war in heaven, so its star wars, way more biblical/buddhist/Hindu etc, but definitely mostly biblical I'd say, you've got obi wan as I think zachariah, I thought he was john the Baptist but that definitely has to be yoda, an evil empire, rebel judeans, a chosen one, and they they fight with thier light, or the truth they bring to bear which is coloured literally by thier view of the world or the will of the force, the tusken raiders or maybe the jawas are the caananites the fall of the jedi temple is the destruction of The Temple, the empire gives rise to the desthstar, or the antichrist, or the dedtroyer of worlds in hinduism I think but there's loads going on there that I have yet to see, saying that western are pretty biblical too, a lot of follow the same beats as the biblical stories and generally teach the same moral lessons
That's Firefly
Wait! You're starting Star Wars, it's November, and December is just around the corner. You're planning on reviewing the Star Wars Christmas Special aren't you?!
The Michael haha so much cringe
The Michael Oh no😲, not the Star Wars Christmas Special!!!!!! someone get the Critic.
doom7ish Christmas Special then Empire?
oh fuck that noise!!!!!!!!
The Michael
He apparently was.
20:38 When Yoda dies in Return of the Jedi, he faded out of existence also. It's how Jedi become Force Spirits/Ghosts. They effectively cast their physical body into oblivion to allow themselves to transcend death and become one with the Force itself. :) also, great review, Decker! Love your videos.
The fact that "Star Wars" is a 'feel good' movie in which an entire planet of people are murdered says something about human psychology.
You were looking for - "Space Opera"
Great Review.
I was born 1977 and grew up watching the original version of Star Wars but i have no problems with the special editions of the movies.
I like all of the Star Wars movies and i do like the Special Edition!
You have a birthright.
Well. This was...unexpected.
"Ben Kenobi" is the lamest alias for "Obi Wan Kenobi".
When I was a kid and saw this I just assumed it was the short form of his name, like we call guys named Richard "Dick".
I love star wars.
as I always have
I love the villains forget the heroes.
forget the heroes ??? you mean forget Obiwan? Han solo? Anakin? quigon-jin? all the jedi order ?? no never Heroes most to live
DRAGOTH BELMONT OR YODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did The Last Jedi make you feel then?
"... and Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru are on the porch, smoking.." Thanks, Decker. I literally spit out my drink laughing at that.
Same!!!
I just have to say that the colors in the Despecialized Edition look amazing. The Blu Rays have a very strong blue tint to them.
blue... rays
Kenobi is the Smith or Jones or Chin of the Star Wars galaxy. Worse was keeping the Skywalker name on Luke, you'd think Vader or Palpatine would have a flag in their systems to track down anyone with that name. And what about Uncle Owen? Vader doesnt keep track on his own family incase they have Force sensitive kida?
No way that doesnt happen.
there is a trilogy pack of star wars on dvd.
the original theatrical versions of each movie are included on the bonus discs.
thomas nutt
Link?
I don't really know what to send you a link to but go to eBay or Amazon and look up Star Wars Trilogy widescreen limited edition ( the cover art on each of the DVDs is a recreation of the original posters but with pictures of the real actors instead of being painted or drawn) that's the one I'm talking about each movie includes two discs one with the 2004 version of the special edition and the second disc along with a bunch of random special features includes the original theatrical version of that movie
DenMon 2019 but yeah it almost kind of bugs me when people say that the original theatrical versions of the Star Wars Trilogy or never on DVD because you would think if people make such a big deal about it they would bother to search for this shit. And the fucked-up thing is that I didn't even had to I just got these as a gift when I was younger and have always had of them. It blew my mind the first time I heard someone say that they wish the Star Wars Trilogy the way it originally was, was on something more modern.
+thomas nutt
seriously, it's a 12 year old LIMITED EDITION box set. meaning they're not printing it anymore, very few copies are still working and what are left are going to be expensive. if everyone wanted one we'd literally run out immediately. all as opposed to putting the original on fucking Netflix or something. no, you can't just expect everyone to 'seek it out'.
I've had those for years. Unfortunately, the discs became scratched. I was lucky enough to buy new copies in good condition for next to nothing.
'Space opera' has also been used to describe the Star Wars saga. In the radio script and novelisation, R2-D2 tampers with the other droid, causing it to blow up like that. Not really luck.
“It’s hard to be that wrong in life, but I try.”
I love that classic Wilhem yelling 19:44
Technically R2-D2 is played by himself with Kenny Baker doing the scenes where Artoo the remote controlled version isn't needed
About Obiwan disappearing as he dies, the same thing happened to Yoda in Return of the Jedi when Yoda died☺
Explosions? When did Michael Bay get here?
Johnnypplpwr 23 T'was a long time ago, in a Galaxy far... Well, ya know.
The original “Hello there”.
GENERAL KENOBI
Well Han solo story Star Wars movie explains how he got the falcon in the 1st place in 13:10
I actually have the original Theatrical Cut of this film on the Limited Edition DVD, included as a bonus disc. You can adjust your widescreen TV to a certain aspect ratio, it's all in that one remote button called "Pics", or use an HDMI cable, worked for me.
Funny little fact, I found this DVD at my local pawn shop, and when I opened the case, I found the TC-Disc 2 above the Spec Edition Cut-Disc 1, which means whoever owned it before me definitely preferred the TC. Can't say I blame them. ;D
I have 1-6 limited editions, 7-9 the 3D blurays.
Ive got a box set of the first 6 that has the originals as bonus discs too
I find it amazing that Alec Guiness hated the star wars movies because he does such a fantastic job in them. I'd like to know some specifics as to what made him hate the scripts and story so much
He didn’t really hate them, per se. He just didn’t like that movies he considered to be less dignified popcorn entertainment became his most iconic role on the backend of his career. There’s an old interview he did on a TV show you can fine on RUclips
My favorite bit of trivia from Star Wars (IV) is the fact that Peter Cushing didn't like his boots so he wore old-man slippers each and every time that his feet/legs were not in the shot. :) I love the fact that we have Peter Cushing AND Christopher Lee in the series! Could you consider reviewing The Dragonslayer where the Emperor plays a priest? There's something very campy in that movie but it's a pleasure to watch for me.
Decker Shado, Bro, gotta level with you about the "decoy" issue;
The escape pods they jettisoned? Yeah. Um... THAT was what the "decoy" was distracting them from... Not sure how you missed that but there ya go. Carry on, you fabulous man, you.
You're a brave man to take on the Ur-Franchise Decker. Personally I wouldn't have minded Lucas neatening up the special effects some, removing a few matt lines and sprucing up some laser effects and so forth, but he couldn't just stop there. Also my favourite joke on Stormtrooper accuracy is that Obi-Wan was being sarcastic. "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are THIS precise..."
I never really understood how Vader was able to take out all the other fighters in a single volley of fire, then say "I have you now" as he locks onto Luke, fires, and yet he flies away completely unscathed. I can't be the only one seeing that.
Can't wait for Last jedi to be reviewed.
yoda's body disappeared in return of the jedi, though it did happen after he passed away
Decker Shado - I really really hope you're reading what I'm saying now, because I want to explain this to you properly before you get to it. Concerning Midi-Chlorians - they are NOT the Force. This is clearly stated in Episode 1. Midi-Chlorians are micro-organisms containing the Force that helps them MEASURE the Force. Sure, it's still silly and stupid, and George Lucas clearly had been watching too much Dragonball Z - but I'm getting really tired of people getting that information wrong.
This is important, because the Force is still a mythical thing, as opposed to what you imply in this review of your's. So, once again - Midi-Chlorians are NOT the Force. They are micro-organisms containing it inside an individual person. That doesn't mean the Force can't exist outside of the Midi-Chlorians. So please, Decker, I beg you - get that right when you get to it.
Noted.
Decker Shado :) Good review, by the way.
TLDNR version they are fictious mitochondria that if you have x amount of them you can tap into the force an use it
Moe Lord ... I really need to learn to abbreviate my explanations better, like you did now. XD
yours was fine i just stream lined it for easy reading
In the star wars radio drama leia's father is the one who gives her the mission and tells her who obi-wan is
That landspeeder looks pretty sweet. It’s like a space desert convertible and part hover car.
Midichlorians: It's heroin.
Stormtroopers hit their target when script calls for it
The Rebel ship was bigger then the Imperial
Supposedly Han shot under the table
Alderaan had off world bank accounts though that is NOT how Han is payed
Yes it was an easy escape so it might lead to the discovery of the hidden Rebel base
AND if the rebels should succeed.....................
Other plot points see Rouge One
r.i.p. Carrie fisher
Yoda proofed out of existence in episode 6, what about that Deckor?
R.I.P Carrie Fisher
same
I consider Star Wars to be Sci-Fi, but then again I've gotten deep into the nitty-gritty of the lore. The movies don't do a good job of explaining the science behind the technology of the universe, however the books made both by Lucas Arts and the plethora of authors within the Expanded Universe (screw Disney, the EU is still canon to me) go into pretty good detail of the tech. advancements the Galaxy has made over the millennia. Still, it can still be confusing and convoluted at times, with some aspects of the technology never really being covered in the first place. Basically, you have to delve deep into the lore to find the information that makes Star Wars the Sci-Fi it is marketed to be.
I recently did a binge of movies 4-7, and I never realized how R2 tricks Luke about taking off the restraining bolt
Its said that the extras on set for that final scene were laughing at the characters because they thought it was going to be a crappy B-Movie. It really is hard to be that wrong.
Everyone knows how bad shots stormtroopers are. Or, they think they know. Look at all the evidence we have of stormtrooper accuracy.1-Opening scene of "A new hope"=stormtroopers effectively gun down rebel troopers on the Tantive.2-Stormtroopers take out Jawas and Luke's parents.3-On Deathstar they can't hit Luke, Leah, Chewbacca, or Han. Of course Vader wanted them to escape so shooting any of these characters means incurring the wrath of the scariest man in the galaxy.4-"Empire strikes back" Stormtroopers effectively gun down rebel soldiers defending the base on Hoth.5-Stormtroopers can't seem to hit Leah, Chewbacca, or Lando while they try to escape the cloud city on Bespin . Again, Vader wanted them alive as bait for Luke so, no killing them again( and don't go and say Luke was there. Ok. He was. But Vader was never seen giving a counter order that they could kill them now.)6-"Return of the Jedi" Stormtroopers shoot and injure Leah and R2-D2 (as well as many rebel soldiers and ewoks) during the attack on the shield generators on Endor. So...maybe they aren't such bad shots.
Nice Decker, I hope you review the entire Saga :)
And remember:
HAN. SHOT. FIRST!!!!!
@V-Rex You're right. Han was the only one who shot, Greedo never got a chance.
@@failedgrace2891 this was also proven in Solo. One of the few good things about that film. It easily demonstrates Han not only recognizing an undeniable threat, but is quick to act when he KNOWS he has no other choice.
If the special edition had had an additional scene of the actual death Star plans being stolen by Kyle Katarn it would have been so much better. All the SE edits were trash. Oh, and changing Jan Ors name to Jyn Ordo isn't fooling anyone. They just don't want to honor the material or pay the people who made Dark Forces when it comes to rouge one.
first review of an epic series.
"That's good, you've taken your first step into a larger world"
1:30 Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope - The first ever space fantasy.
> 13:33 After agreeing on an astronomical fee
I see what you did there. Very clever.
Especially right after the talk about black holes, gravity, velocity, parsecs and other technobabble. Well played.
Yes, one of the interesting things about Star Wars is the droids. They're clearly sentient, even though they talk about programing - because, if they're programmed, I'd like to meet that programmer! - but are perfectly contented to be slaves. On the other hand, there are rogue droids and, in the extended universe, even some bounty hunter droids - speaking of what, I think one of those shows up in Empire (No disintegrations!!!), and Grievous is part droid, part biological? Thank goodness Star Wars is a Space Opera (that's the term you're looking for, Decker, not Space Fantasy, it's been called Space Opera since the good old Flash Gordon days, praised be the great Ming!)
Wow I did not see this coming! I can't believe you are reviewing STAR WARS!!!!!!!!
Where did you find the despecialized addition. I've been looking for it forever
Luke's/Starkiller's father was originally meant to be a rebel, hence the line about him/her having too much of his/her father in him/her.
For some reason, the scene where they were talking about the father was cut from the film, not entirely on purpose, thus opening up for Lucas to change his mind later, when he decided to make the film into a film series.
13:08 actually George Lucas confirmed that Solo is telling the truth. He explains in a commentary track that ships in the Star Wars universe can’t travel in straight lines while in hyperspace due to collisions with celestial objects. Thus, distance is a crucial factor in how quickly a ship can get from point A to point B. The Millennium Falcon‘s superior navigation computer allowed it to travel shorter distances between points and arrive faster.
Hey decker you notice that Luke Skywalker drinks a blue liquid with his breakfast that is bantha milk and if you follow the instructions I give you you can replicate it some of this may seem fucking weird to put in milk but bare with me it’s all good
. Combine the following in a ziplock bag (equal parts)
- berry punch flavor powder
- blue raspberry flavor powder
- blue Hawaiian Punch flavor powder
. Set that aside for a while
. Grab a butterfly pea tea bag (check Walmart or online) and make exactly 600mL of blue tea out of it with the coffee maker
. Put the tea bag in the tea and leave it in there for 45 minutes
. Cut up 1/2 a head of red cabbage and cook in enough water to cover on medium high
. Bring to a light boil and simmer for 10 minutes on low
. Strain it catching cabbage water in a bowl and add 1 tsp baking soda
. Combine the following in a 1000mL pitcher
- 100mL of our blue tea
- 100mL of our blue cabbage water
- enough vitamin D milk to fill the remaining volume (bantha milk is to be as rich as possible so you have to use whole milk or vitamin D milk)
. Put that in the fridge and set timer for an hour
. Combine the following in a blender
- 250mL vitamin D milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- 2 tbsp fat free blueberry yoghurt
- 1 tsp honey
- 8 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 packet Sucralose
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp powdered sugar
- original coffee creamer
- hazelnut coffee creamer
- French vanilla coffee creamer
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp of our blue favoring powder mixture
- 1 shot glass of Mountain Dew voltage
. Put that in the fridge until previously set timer goes off
. Now combine our blue colored milks together and refrigerate that until you’re ready to drink it
Its still hilarious how Luke also drank Blue Milk in the latest Star Wars movie, coincidence?
I think not.
Before Disney's takeover and the screwing with the timeline and established characters, there was a way to calculate exactly when Star Wars takes place.
In one of the official comics, Han and Chewie ends up on Earth, thus anchoring the Star Wars timeline with our own. The crash landing takes place around the year 1813. There are mentions of Han's three children with Leia, so crafty nerds figured out when they left their own galaxy and using a recalculation from the Galactic Calendar (which has a few more days than the Gregorian), they managed to figure out the entire Star Wars timeline in Earth years.
For those interested, the first film takes place in 1804, with Luke and Leia being born in 1785 and Han being born in 1775. This makes Luke 19 years old in the first film and 22 when he becomes a Jedi Master.
But that is all gone now. In the original timeline, Starkiller was Vader's apprentice and Disney wanted that name for their new not-at-all-a-death-star death star, populated by not-at-all-storm-troopers storm troopers with not-at-all-Donald-Duck-helmets Donald Duck helmets. So they just said "screw it" and decided only the previous films were canon now.
20:34 I mean technically Yoda after dying “Poofed out of existence like that”
I usually hear it referred to as Space Opera without the singing of course
Awesome review Decker, I been a star wars fan over 35 yrs, I look forward to future reviews on the prequels/sequels.
Took me ages to get to it, but you did a good job at acknowledging some more basic types of flaws to this movie, some of which I didn't think of before.
My favorite observations of yours:
2:13 - The Despecialized Editions. Thank goodness for these, especially since LucasFilm more or less said they aren't planning to remaster the original cuts.
15:02 - "Can't collect taxes from dead people." (And "Bank of Alderaan" later.)
16:06 - "Tarkin: 'It looks convincing, but you better go out and make sure'."
Point disputes:
21:45 - [Death Star Trench] I figure Rogue One explains away that plot hole. Why is the trench a mile long, though? To make taking down a small-scale assault easier, I'd guess.
25:13 - [Mishandling of Death Star Plans; no copies] I think the Empire just wanted to make sure that the Rebels couldn't use the plans to destroy the Death Star. This partially hinges on Rogue One's story and whether Scarif was the only place where the plans were housed. It's possible, given their super-important nature.
That is a pretty big plot hole, that Vader assumes that there's just one copy of the plans.
They also had time to correct the weakness, i.e. put a force field, or anything over the exhaust port.
Damn Decker, you swear a lot more than Billy Bob Thronton does! 5:40
Fun fact in the expanded universe the first Astro Droid picked that blew up was actually the one and only Force Sensitive droid ever written and knew that they needed R2, so he short circuited himself to make it so.
I’m not making this up
And if you listen to the star wars radio drama you can hear r2 messing around with r5's motivator (c-3po even asks him why he is messing around with the r5 unit saying it's illegal for droids to mess with other droids)
So "More powerful than you can possibly imagine." he means advising Luke as a ghost occasionally.
It's about time you reviewed these movies
And dude watch rouge one if you want to know!
4:38 those guys could have prevented this entire movie series
The last time Obi Wan saw a Stormtrooper they were capable of being badasses with a gun . He used to lead Storm Troopers in battle . Granted, He probably hasn't seen a Storm Trooper up close since He went into hiding .
The force made me focus mostly in Decker's single grey hair in the whole video
It's likely Obi-Wan told Bail he was going to live under the alias Ben Kenobi before taking Luke to Tatooine.
So happy. So glad your doing this review.
You have no idea how long I have waited for this, from you
I don't mind **most** of the changes in the special editions. The windows in Cloud City and the celebration montage at the end of RotJ, for example.
Actually if you listen to the star wars radio drama there is a scene where luke and Owen are talking about getting droids so Owen has luke put up a signal flare to signal the jawas
I still think the Kessel Run makes sense. They travel twelve parsecs in hyperspace, which is way faster than however many parsecs it would take in normal space. So they're essentially saying "that's how fast my hyperdrive works, I can get there by driving through less than twelve parsecs of hyperspace."
It always irkes me , that when Han, Luke Chewie and Ben and the robots go into the first DeathStar control room after getting the two storm-trooper uniforms and kill the two guards, there is another storm trooper right behind them in the corridor as they enter .
20:37 Luke ends up vanishing in a similar fashion to Obi Wan in the newer film.
I have limited edition dvds of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. They were released in the mid 2000s. The first disc has the movies with the added effects and scenes. The second disc has the original theatrical versions of the movies without any scenes or effects. Its so cool to be able to watch the theatrical versions. I think the only way I'd part with these dvds is if the release the theatrical versions on blu-ray.
5:42. Is that a big shoe right in front of me. Why would I come out here without shoes.
I am so looking forward to your review of Rogue One.
Have anyone else noticed that the final tie fighter on the escape sequence blows up 3-4 times ?
One of the main problems from this film is that they didn't make the hero vulnerable. Sure with the claustrophobic scene but that's just about it. When they are being shot by stormtroopers, they were completely unharmed. There is almost no urgency, which results with little to no tension.
You know, act one stormtroopers have never been anything to sneeze at. Just look at Hoth. It’s the act two and three troopers that are push overs. I accept that they needed to get Han back into the story but it’s another reason that the Jabba’s palace plot hampered Jedi. We didn’t get to see stormtroopers kick ANY ass in 6 and then they get beaten by Ewoks. Still love Ewoks, (born in ‘92 and grew up with the movies, so of course I do), but it may have been nice to see something to establish that the Ewoks won through unconventional guerrilla warfare against a trained but unprepared and overconfident enemy instead of left thinking it was entirely because of stormtrooper incompetence and lack of surveillance in their base’s perimeter. Not one patrol noticed the log traps suspended from the trees or piled on a hillside before they took out the ATSTs? Yeah, EU is a thing and gives some explanations and details, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t’ve be nice to have it shown on screen if it could work within the movie. Of course, if it couldn’t’ve worked within the movie, it’d be best left out. Like that fucking song at Jabba’s palace in the “special” edition.
Thank you for remembering the real name of this movie. I didn't stand in all those lines all those hours all those years ago for something called "Episode IV" I'll tell ya that for free. I appreciate this about you--and also that you reviewed Phantom of the Paradise, which I see NOWHERE else in my RUclips travels. You are Worthy.
Decker shado I was wondering this morning when you would review the ORIG-TRIDGE and here it is that awesome
Well, how the Rebels won a battle with the Death star plans should be answered in Rouge One, and i hope Decker reviews it.
Old but I think science part refers to the laser guns, space ships and other advanced technology even if it's not explained. Plus George Lucas says the Force is derived from Midoclorians in the bloodstream and not magic lol.
Fun thing is we remember this movie as Luke vs Vader, but going back to the original promotional materials, the main characters were Kenobi and Tarkin. They were the most famous actors in the film, not some unknown kid and some masked henchman.
While technically true, Vader really doesn't come off as a henchman. Throughout the movie, he and Tarkin exchange words and strategies as equals multiple times.
I'm actually not sure what Vader's rank is within the command structure of the Empire, either in government or military. I guess it's just common knowledge that he's the right hand of the Emperor.
@@felynecomrade Darth Vader is The apprentice to the emperor. He is essentially the hand of the king.
i sense a lot of butthurt fans in the force
While the subsequent Episode will be awaiting their own reviews including Episodes 8 & 9 in the near future, I wonder if Fans will request Decker to review Holiday Special, Caravan of Courage & Battle of Edor, 2008 Clone Wars movie and the upcoming Rouge One. Decker will be kept rather busy.
This version has some of the special editions. The sabers color and changing the written language to the aurabesh alphabet for example.
It's actually mentioned in the radio play version of this film that Leia is the sole inheritor of the off planet holdings of the entire Alderan royal family. So she is still very rich.
The rebels ended up paying him with containers of rare metals intended for ship repair, but worth a fortune.
Then he gets raided by pirates
I've watched this channel for years, thank you Decker. This had been one of my favorite channels and I really love your content, I wish you were more popular and had more subscribers but with a little work you can do it, keep it up. Your as goods as ever.
About the original version of the original trilogy: they released them with a dvd set a few years ago but, i think, only as "limited editons"...so i don't know if those are still around.
Holy cow.....you're reviewing Star Wars!? YOU ROCK DECKER!!!
I think the main reason for the later edits wasn't George objectively looking at the end result, but thinking back to the things he wanted in there but couldn't pull off. Kind of like a petulant child who obsesses over not having enough Dewbacks or the fact he wanted a claymation Jabba in the first film. Looking back there's no real good reason FOR those things... except for the fact he wanted them.
It's the reason the film with the least edits, Empire, doesn't have 300 AT-ATs stomping across the snow... because George had very little to do with making it. He didn't stay up for years dreaming of Cloud City having a food court or Yoda living in a giant mushroom.
the two main problems are that 1: his 'original vision' is clearly worse than the original in several places, probably because nobody is telling him what not to do.
then 2: it's been made infuriatingly hard to get these original cuts at all. one rare DVD collection is the best you'll get. they refused to put star wars in the national film archive because they were too stubborn and gave only the edited bluray, which can't be accepted. it's so annoying how stubborn he is.
Sending multiple copies of the Death Star plans wouldn't have worked. In fact, it might have made it impossible for the Rebels to take it out, if they managed to capture, say, a spy, and found the files in their possession. Then they'd call up their handy dandy engineers and fix that vent port. Then again, why didn't the Empire have multiple copies of those files themselves?
