you can really see the influence of Hidden Fortress and samurai films in this. apart from the plot it's also the general concepts: Jedi are samurai warriors, with a more morally-neutral martial valour, everyone uses swords/lightsabers, emperor and the empire is just the background culture that exists etc. Very fascinating portal into an alternate star wars
Fun fact. Lucas brought in Mel Blanc to voice R2-D2 and C-3PO. He originally pictured them with thick Brooklyn accents. But when Blanc saw the footage of Anthony Daniels, he told Lucas that there was no voice that he could come up with that would better than Daniels. So he kept Daniels voice for C-3PO, and just had R2 respond with beeps.
George Lucas originally wanted them to be Abbott and Costello like characters. That’s why in the Last Jedi, Luke tells R2 to watch his mouth. R2 apparently curses a lot, that was originally inspired by Lucas’s original vision for the character. So I am assuming yes.
@@heidifedor Fascinating. It was interesting to finally understand Chewie’s intended dialogue while viewing the unfinished footage. “That old man is crazy” gives him a lot more personality. I always imagined R2 shouting and arguing against C3PO’s complaints and being quite rude. They were after all also based on the two deserting peasants from _The Hidden Fortress._
I have to make 2 corrections: 1.) Alderaan originally and in this comic wasn't really anything like Coruscant, other than being the Imperial capital world. It wasn't a city planet but a gas planet and was basically what would become Bespin and Cloud City in "The Empire Strikes Back". 2.) Biggs and Windy were both male and, if I remember correctly, weren't even twins. I think Biggs was 7 and Windy was 5.
This is probably why the Holiday special turned out so bad. Lucas just gave CBS a script about the Wookies celebrating Life Day that only had them grunting with no subtitles. CBS didn’t know how to make a 2 hour movie around that. So they ended up turning it into a variety show, because at the time they were highly popular. When CBS took on the project, they thought they were going to do a TV movie as a semi-sequel. Lucas thought he was getting a thought provoking tale of the struggles of the Wookies. In the end, no one was happy with final product.
@Friedrich Alexander he wrote the original script, but left it to CBS to do most of it. One of the things he insisted on was no subtitles during the Wookie scenes. The original script idea was turned onto a children’s book called, ‘The Wookies Story Book”
The fact that the Holiday Special has *numerous* scenes that consist of _nothing_ but Wookies grunting & roaring at eachother passive aggressively is genuinely priceless. I can't even believe that got made, the fact that nobody came along and said "Forget it, this sucks." & just scrapped it is crazy. It feels like it should be lost media that people spread rumors about online.
I love 'The Star Wars' and it deserves to be huge, even adapted. Quite an offbeat idea executed commendably. The art is very impressive and the story both familiar enough to get comfortable with and tantalizingly different. It's great fun to have an enigma, like an early incarnation of Star Wars, become as familiar a piece of entertainment as a graphic novel, to sit on one's shelf next to other classics.
Anakin and Leia's loves story sounds awfully similar to anakin and padme's loves story in attack of the clones. They go on one date and padme says I love you and of course weird dialogue about how anakin couldn't live without padme's love or padme saying she was dying everyday before anakin came back into her life. Those lines came off at least to me as an obsession, he talks about being in agony, tormenting his soul, it's all just you have to be with me and very much him forcing her to like him back. This is not love that is a psychos obsession that they deserve love no matter what.
It's obvious to me that the person who wrote this original script is the same person who wrote the prequel trilogy. Unfortunately for us, no one was around to say "no" to George when he was making Episodes 1-3. This script reads almost EXACLTY like a prequel script. Not beat for beat, but style wise. The love story between Anakin and Leia mirrors the way the love story between Anakin and Padme was executed in Episode 2, where it just kinda comes out of no where.
@Nekron3043 An interesting take. I think the prequels are just objectively bad movies. Technically and artistically. The acting isn't strong, the writing isn't great, the dialogue is clunky, a lot of the plot points don't make sense, the effects aren't fantastic. The over use of Shot/Reverse Shot in the dialogue scenes just make it devoid of excitement. I'm not interested in debating if the prequels are good or bad, I've been having that argument since 1999. I'm happy that people like them, they hold a special place in people's hearts, and they are bringing more people into the fandom, but I think it's ridiculous to even try to compare the prequels with the OT and say it's only for "nostalgia reasons" that people like them. That is just flat out not true. That being said, I do think that A New Hope is probably the weakest of the OT, and hilariously, like the Prequels, it was the only one of the OT that George directed.
3PO’s design is inspired by the design of the robot in the 1927 German film “Metropolis”. This is a known influence for the character. Sorry if someone has already pointed that before.
I've read those comics few years ago, and there is a lot of original ideas that I like about it: 1-Luke Skywalker as an old and wise general. That would be much better than how the Sequel Trilogy treated the character. 2-The absence of a Galactic Republic, with planets and systems being independent nations. 3-Darth Vader as a scarred general. Seriously, just imagine if Hux was like that... 4-R2-D2 being able to talk normally. 5-The Aquilae Starfighters. 6-Battle Tanks with floating locomotion. 7-A more "Flashgordonian" feel on everything. The Emperor here was an obvious reference to Emperor Ming, the Merciless 8-Wookies learning to pilot. This is something that I can tolerate in Star Wars, because it is a series that always worked with the suspension of disbelief. 9-Every hero receiving a medal. Seriously, R2-D2 is so adorable with that medal around his "neck". Few observations: 1-The appearance of the droids are based on Ralph McQuarrie concept arts. 2-The forest planet of the Wookies was named Yavin, at least in the Brazilian translation of the comic I've got. I don't know if this was exclusive to our local translation.
It's pretty curious how they decided to adapt George Lucas's original 1974 script to a comic in 2014, despite the large number of plot holes and artistic deficiencies that script would surely have. By the way, I have the theory this comic actually takes place in the Legends timeline, but thousands of years (or even millions) after the original movies.
I think it’s an interesting artifact of the history of the property. I have known plenty of people who were interested in learning more about the development of Star Wars but didn’t know how to go about finding the information, so this is a good way of showcasing it. As for where this would be placed if incorporated into the Legends timeline, I could personally see it being thousands or millions of years earlier. The Jedi are less refined, more combative. The worlds look more pristine than later Star Wars, suggesting less decay (similar to the transition from the prequels to the original trilogy). The Anakin from this could have been the inspiration for naming Anakin Skywalker, and same for Luke (the reverse I think might not have worked as well, as Vader was more known as Vader and less as Anakin). But that’s just off the top of my head; I hadn’t considered it until you said something. I could see either working in a history repeats itself type way. It’s definitely interesting to think about!
Looks like I'm the only one here who thought this was fantastic. Sure, some things could have been fleshed out a bit and it probably wouldn't have been as sucessfull with a wider audience because it lacks some of that star wars magic but I would like to give my opinion on a few things. 1. I think it has a more adult feel overall. The design of the characters, the throne room and a more science fiction feel to it. 2. The emperor is barely in it yes, but he is only mentioned once in the 77 movie, we don't even see him. He would have probably appeared in the sequel. 3. The Death Star is called the Space Fortress (they refer to it that way several times), Valorum joins Annikin because Vader just told him that the Sith would be next after he's done with the Jedi. I was also surprised at how fast Leia and Anakin fell in love.. 4. I love the look of Han Solo and the wookies who Leia would probably not have refered as a carpet in this less kid friendly version. Overall I'm very happy I read this, I wish the Ophiuchi saga or whatever was planned next would be adapted or written to get sequels to this comic book. And an animated movie adapting that script would be awesome too. But I'm afraid Star Wars Fans are too much about what's canon and what isn't, which is too bad because I want more stuff like this. I'm hoping for a similar feel with Zack Snyder 's Rebel Moon.
Rough draft Star Wars is based more on Japan where the Emperor is usually a figurehead. I guess that Lucas or one of his assistants thought that the average American viewer was too stupid to understand the concept.
@@penandreel6996 You know how, at this point, Bloodstained is more Castlevania than actual Castlevania? We need this rough draft Star Wars made into a feature, so it can be more Star Wars than modern Star Wars.
16:30 You hit the nail on the head. While I don't have a big problem with the prequel trilogy, they didn't impress and inspire me. I feel like the people around Lucas didn't critique his prequel scripts, and I really fell that Rick McCallum acted as a "yes" man avoiding any criticism of the prequel scripts and concepts. It has seemed quite odd to me that Rick McCallum, after his big role in making the prequels, completely disappeared from Lucasfilm. Where is Gary Kurtz when we need him? (Yes, unfortunately I know where he is....)
I been trying to type some of the old ideas from the rough draft on some of the Disney and hero wiki pages of Luke Skywalker and Han solo, but some moderator keeps erasing them and believes it's false information, but it's not.
It's like a Star Wars knock-off, so weird. It's like he wrote this when he was a teenager, which he probably was. Amazing how much he eventually improved the story...
Oh, I completely agree! Star Wars wouldn’t have been as successful by a long shot, and the world would be quite different now. I’m glad they changed things.
ive read this script once, im not sure if you can still find it on the internet, but i do have the comic, and i also have a shakespearian adaptation of ep 4 that i think not many people know to exist
Your theory makes total sense. This original script is so much like the prequels. This is native George Lucas, a bunch of good ideas not very well linked together.
The prequels were much tighter than this script. They had character arcs, larger themes, actual relationships between the characters that contributed to the story, foreshadowing, moments of drama with characters experiencing emotions (however clumsily handled). This, as somebody pointed out, was much closer to the old Flash Gordon serials. If anything, the sequels are closer in some ways, as they throw together a bunch of unrelated plot threads (Finding Luke Skywalker has nothing to do with destroying Starkiller Base, Finn and Rose’s subplot has nothing to do with Rey and Kylo Ren).

His best work (such as the original Star Wars trilogy) is always when he works with others and allows them to help refine the story. Basically, he needs a good editor. This is a draft before he had people look at it and help him Refine it. It’s also worth noting that a movie and a comic are vastly different.
@@penandreel6996onsense. American Graffiti is all Lucas as is THX 1138. This revisionist idea that “derp, he din do nuffin” is not backed up by any factual research into the first SW film.

I mean, not for nothing this is a children’s fantasy film; the ideas aren’t that hard to “link together” it’s not fucking “Apocalypse Now.” Oh but he was first choice to direct that too so this idea of his “filmic incompetence”that is pushed by the faction of disgruntled “Star Wars story” fans is ridiculous to anyone interested in the production of film that has studied the history of the New Hollywood era.

Yep, the Star Wars that we got may have been the "full ripened" version, but ripening is still a form of decay. Obviously, the sequels are rotten all the way through.
I prefer this version over the one we got in the final film, specially after seeing how badly the Disney sequels got. I liked Kane Starkiller and much preferred Han Solo being a green alien, due to my strong dislike of Harrison Ford. Also Luke originally being the mentor to Anakin was cool.
Lucas didn't do everything himself, lol. Making a film is always a collaborative effort, you're super uninformed throughout the video. Alderaan was originally what became Cloud City, Lucas WAS the main creative source for the OT and PT and the stories were all his ideas, although he would have help in polishing the stories in various capacities, they were still very much his stories. On the OT and PT he hired script supervisors and script writers to help, not in all the films though. He also had assitant directors, producers, editors, concept artists, costume designers, set designers, makeup artists, etc. Plus, "The Star Wars" isn't based on a finished script. It's based on the ROUGH DRAFT. It was NOT supposed to be the final script.

He also had assitant directors, producers, editors, concept artists, costume designers, set designers, makeup artists, etc. Plus, "The Star Wars" isn't based on a finished script. It's based on the ROUGH DRAFT. It was NOT supposed to be the final script.
