I agree though its ironic how many people went back to worshiping Lucas after episode VIII, completely ignoring how he also gave no fucks about contradicting the original trilogy.
@Corvid Cares Well articulated explanation of Luke. I had the same notions, but could never articulate them as well. Lol Rey Christ. Let's not forget space resistant Leia. I wonder if/how Abrams is going to fix it with Ep9.

I haven’t been keeping up with all the new Star Wars stuff. Given what I’m hearing, it sounds like they’d be better off just scrapping the newly written storyline and deem it no longer canon. Just the prequels and originals, and maybe sequel trilogy (idk, I’ll have to rewatch it to be sure of how crappy it is, but that’s been getting hate too).
@encounteringjack5699 Solo was … watchable, Mandalorian had 5 good episodes, Andor was boring but not bad (like episode 2 all over again), and Rouge One was the only one I didn’t nitpick every 2 mins. I recommend skipping the rest.
LOL At people being in denial in the comment section and trying to flick this song onto disney when people have been hating on Lucas for YEARS for what he did towards Star Wars for the prequels and special editions. Just like many other people. The Star Wars fanbase has AWAYS been divided even BEFORE Disney had Star Wars, that's just a fact and has been for the last 20 years.
@@clonetrooper2003 lol that’s not true at all. People have whined and complained about the prequels even BEFORE rlm even existed. You’re just making bad excuses here to ignore the mass criticism against the Star Wars prequels. I’m not saying fans of RLM didn’t make it worse but there has been people who watched and hated the Star Wars prequels as soon as phantom menace came out as that film is beyond terrible as there’s mass evidence of people hating that movie from the get go. Every since episode 1, things were starting to get troublesome and by the time the prequel films were over, the fan base has entirely been spilt. Even if you love the prequels, you can’t ignore the mass hate against the prequel films at all.
One more. I'm fucking devastated that I haven't listened to this so fucking much I'm sick of it. I mean, for me, now it's become quite pointless, dat little Jedi babe Rey rocks the shit. And with now Han AND Leia dead, I guess the next in the new trilogy will be EXACTLY like the Star Wars that we used to know - from a certain point of view. 'Cause what's for sure is that Episode VIII is gonna be a DAMN dark second movie in the trilogy.
We had no idea that the Acolyte would be so bad. And here we are, brought back together by the will of the force. I really hope that we, fans of star wars will unite
Yes, it's bad but loads of these criticisms are on another level of stupidity. This song is still relevant today because the prequels are still meh movies (for the most part), but because it also reflects on current-day Star Wars well.
Yeah, but you'd also be covered in paint and a DIY Vader mask so on some level you must be into it. With that level of preparation it's way more sub/dom roleplay than nightmare.
I don't know dude. Personally if there was no other choice, I would rather watch the First Order lazily drift in Space towards the 'Resitance' for ten hours than seeing 1 second more of Jar Jar lol.
@@Maroon33 I do agree, UT those movies were objectivly awful. Their writing was insanely predictable and had poor writing imo. Regardless of the (better) originals, these movies were really sub par. Pair that with the fact they have the star wars logo just makes them even worse
Олег Лызь I see why you might think that, but you have to remember that most people think of something like a greenscreen when they think of special effects as opposed to a blue screen. So it makes more sense to use the green to symbolize special effects to convey the idea to the audience.
Sounds good. I'd suggest covering some other song to better capture the notion of it, though. Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" might be appropriate. Or Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" maybe.
Why? This video came out when Lucas was rampantly changing the original trilogy with "improvements." Want to what the Star Wars you grew up with? Nope, Lucas won't let you. Even if you don't like the Disney movies, Disney is not changing the old movies. They even have a project to restore the original releases. The Star Wars you used to know is probably safer now that it ever was under Lucas. You may not like the new movies and that's fine, but at least the old movies are now safe.
Rhewin they are changing it, they just can’t change anything in the film releases since it was negotiated in the deal Lucas made for the purchase of Star Wars. However in the rise of sky walker they revived emperor palpatine and that essentially ruins the entire OG trilogy.
@@javanmills6152 But that also happened in the EU/Legends. It still doesn't change anything, and if you want to cut the saga off at 6 in your own head canon, you can.
Rhewin to be fair legends was inconsistent and contradictory at times which I didn’t mention, which was most likely why they decided to start fresh with their own cannon. I’m more disappointed in how Disney picked horrible directors and Kathleen Kennedy to run Lucas film. Since they had 40yrs+ worth of source material to draw from the EU, but created 3 films that won’t even sync together very well let alone the rest of the saga.
Yeah. I'm pretty young, but I was lucky enough to own the non-special editions on VHS when I was little, and it's a shame that that's the best way to legally watch the original trilogy.
@@MrDemonsushiGuy "buying" will kill it. Yes it's a PITA to get legitimately (even I haven't done it) but unless you want the full legal force of D$NY quashing DSE out of existence for everyone, ya gotta get it the way the DSE people say to get it.
Yes, ironically around the 1:50 minute mark in the video, look at it.. says "Have your friends direct your movies and they'll turn out better". Disney did this lol!

@@R1ckmister Look, it's one thing to disagree on the quality of a movie. It's a whole other having the vast majority of the new cast alienating the fans for doing so. That was the last straw for a lot of fans. Even if you think the movies were not that bad.

JarJar wasn't the only thing wrong with the prequels...I loved the comment about the subpar actors because Hayden Christensen was absolutely awful! The only thing the sequels accomplished is that they were so bad at least they made people forget how bad the prequels were!
Dont understand the hate people gave the prequels tbh, Lucas did okay. At least it was original and gave us the awesome clone wars series, what have the sequels given us? New hope with a female protagonist and a boring plot.
@Gadget-Walkmen you what the best thing about Stat Wara used to be? It would go away for years at a time and the build up to the next one was huge! Now they dry hump a new one out every other month. I haven't even seen quite a few of the new shows. They just lack....soul. they are literally soulless cash grabs by Disney.
@@shane5898 lol no that’s NOT “tHe bESt ThInG aBoUt stAR wArS uSeD to bE” AT ALL as that’s just something you BADLY made up right now. There used to be Star Wars shows, video games, and merchandise that kept on going out every time the Star Wars movies were coming out and ESPECIALLY in the earlier 2000s when the prequels were coming out: you must be out of it if you think after episode 3 revenge of the sith, there was NO Star Wars anything that came out during the years. Lol just no. There was STILL Star Wars merchandise and shows coming out AFTER the main line Star Wars movies came out and people STILL loved them for what they were. So saying “iT woUld gO aWAy fOr yEaRs aT a tiMe aNd tHe bUiLd uP tO tHe nExT oNe wAs hUgE” lol just no, that’s just how your remember your childhood on how YOU watched these movies.

All that matters if the quality of these products are good and while not all of Disney Star Wars has been the best, there HAS been high quality products like Andor, The Bad Batch, and Star Wars Visions, and new Star Wars games like Jedi Survivor which are ALL vastly beloved products and media. You saying “I haven’t even seen quite a few of the new shows” says ALOT about you showing that you don’t know what you’re saying and you’re literally complaining about nothing right now, nothing more.

They are NOT “lItErAlLy soULlEsS cAsH gRaBs” AT ALL from Disney, they are trial and error shows that should have been good and bad and some of the bad shows should have been VASTLY better like the Kenobi show should have been a movie with a high budget, but the other Disney Star Wars that has been good has been EXCELLENT and beloved. You’re just whining for the sake of it, grow up and get over yourself. Nothing is about what you want, simple as that.
@@999999SkyGuy I CAN tell people to grow up when their statements and “opinions” don’t make any sense at all.

Here... miss the days we were arguing over the special edition, which of the SIX movies were better... ect 2:40 Definitely ain't Lucas's fault here... 😢
will wyse, A Long Time Ago too I am surprise that no one has done a science fiction film where a traveling crew finds the remains of Star Wars Ships or some element of the their past already. That is the major flaw with Star Wars, the convenient Long Time Ago makes their story ancient history like the Trojan War. That is why I prefer series like Star Trek, Babylon 5, Legend Of The Galactic Heroes, etc. that describe the future instead.
+Starhunter Terra That's because star wars is how we used to be, and then the apocalypse happened and we lost everything, and nothing remained to give us clues how to get back to that time, didn't you know that? Sheesh and I thought I was stupid. (Sarcasm intended in this entire comment) BUT imagine if it was true, if star wars WAS the past and the apocalypse that religious people rant about, happened already, and that we lost all that advanced technology?
+Starhunter Terra The "past" is subjective. I allways assumed that the "long time ago phrase" was just a storytelling way. Just like the old "hero"-stories of ancient Greece. Someone, somwhere is telling the story of Star Wars to someone.
Tyler Richardson ah yes, by making his redemption utter pointless, he didn’t even kill Palpatine according to them, some princess that stole the skywalker name and learned the ability to heal in a week did that... (Anakin wanted to learn how to do that for nearly his entire lifetime), Also, stormtroopers can fly now according to Disney, not like we’ve seen that before and force ghosts can wield lightsabers now so why not send Luke to kill Palpatine, he’s already dead. Can’t kill him twice. At least not that I know of.
@@dejohn8529 His redemption isnt pointless because it ties up Anakins story arc. And that has absolutely nothing to do with Vader being a badass. It's off topic and it's just something you want to complain about.
@@tylerrichardson3034 His Chosen One prophecy was made completely pointless if you want us to be more specific, Disney Star Wars ruined it. the only bad ass scene we got to Vader was like two scenes in Rogue one and that's the only movie Darth Vader has appeared in since Disney took control of Star Wars. Fans wanted Darth Vader movie yet Disney refuses to make one, you may not like what George Lucas did with the prequels but at least it created a new story that can expand on the lore of the universe. the prequels were really not that bad to be honest it just could have been executed better and he should have had someone write better dialogue for him.
It’s been years since the last time I saw this and it feels funnier even though I already know what’s coming up. Sad how true it is but the performance by both singers really makes for a great video. Great comedic timing and a fantastic job by the editor/s
@@anthonypelayo648 the so called "idiots" are also fans who are entitled to like films if they want to. You don't like the fact some people have different opinions to you? Your problem.
@@ruairievans I don't care what movies they like or dislike, their opinion is their opinion, what I do take issue to is being in a public theater and the idiots, yes idiots, clapping constantly throughout the movie so I can't enjoy/hate the movie I paid to see. Do you not believe in common courtesy? Suppose not, unfortunately that becomes everyone else's problems.
I can agree with the notion. It is revisionist 🐃💩 that led to Palpatine surviving a slam dunk down to the core of DSII. The Force Awakens, Last Jedi, and Rise of Skywalker spat in the eye of the original trilogy. Thank god for the Mandalorian.
As a kid at the time...I loved the prequels. I see their problems as an adult but still think they are good and great world building with an excellent animated series. With that said this was really great lol. Can't believe I haven't seen this
Same, though I have to say the idea for the prequals was awesome. I don't want to spoil anything... so I guess I'd say I'm still a fan of them because what the prequals are based around.
I give the prequels a pass because you can tell George really cared about the product and story. His dialogue was abysmal, but at least the story is linear and ties up neatly at the end with few plot holes. A lot of stuff in the timeskips between 1-2 and 2-3 were covered well in the EU with George's input or approval. The sequels are terrible and they have spent years trying to retcon damn near everything to make them make sense in comics, novels, TV series, and video games.
I never knew this existed. I can understand the context in which it was created, but the song really hits differently after seeing how Disney ran Star Wars into the ground.
@@Mihael_river Yes, he did. When the second trilogy aka the prequels (what the song is about) were released a lot of fans were pissed and accused Lucas of ruining Star Wars. Personally I really like the prequels. The aesthetic is strong.
@@velcro7037 Yep i was fan of whole saga really. Prequels were special in some way. I find them very intriguing. Heck i was arguit about that over internet all over. But my point stands still. They were good almost great. Just chemistry between Anakin and Padme falls short that is from my side. Lucas just wanted to show his vision. Shame he should really try to add deleted scenes to deepen relationship on screen. :) Still to me all time scifi classics
I mean 2 out of 3 for the OGT, were directed by his "friends" and they blew ANH out of the park... A loved every Movie 1-6, Rogue One, and adored both Clone Wars shows; the modern 'Wars franchise and 7-9 are grotesque.
Not really though... The OG Star Wars was indeed saved in large part by his friends (Steven Spielberg and Brian De Palma) when he asked them to review the semi-finished movie. Then he also had an amazing wife (Marcia Griffin) who contributed a lot in the editing and compositing (especially changing the original sequence of the early parts). Then The Empire Strikes Back, George was involved the least in that movie, but the third one, the one that sucked the most out of the original trilogy, was the one where George was getting more involved again.
@@farequinas5615 Lucas was never a great director, but an amazing producer. Because one of the qualities of a good producer is not to be an artist and to keep out of creative details.
Ugh, I had such unreasonably high hopes when Disney resurrected the clone wars animated series. Now, every time I sit through a Disney Star Wars movie/series, it’s like having to watch bad men (and women) do unspeakably bad things to something/someone I care very much about. I don’t know why I still do it…? Maybe it’s my ego, but I feel like it needs me there to comfort, and help it get through its ordeal, reassuring it with the hope that things will get better. Other times, it feels like an ex-girlfriend who has “grown” into everything we said we’d never be. One who happily shed our once empowering dedications to self-respect, right from wrong, and integrity at the first chance she got. She ends our bumping into one another with, “You’re such a f’ng child - grow up!”
@@theviewer9305 You must be watching some other movies, Your saying that lightsaber duel on the Destroyed Death Star was better than any of the fucking jedi fights in the prequels.

And besides even if it was divided back then, it was nowhere near as awful now with all the shills like star wars sexplained@@Gadget-Walkmen
@@clonetrooper2003 lol that’s not true at all. People have whined and complained about the prequels even BEFORE rlm even existed. You’re just making bad excuses here to ignore the mass criticism against the Star Wars prequels. I’m not saying fans of RLM didn’t make it worse but there has been people who watched and hated the Star Wars prequels as soon as phantom menace came out as that film is beyond terrible as there’s mass evidence of people hating that movie from the get go. Every since episode 1, things were starting to get troublesome and by the time the prequel films were over, the fan base has entirely been spilt.
Even if you love the prequels, you can’t ignore the mass hate against the prequel films at all.
This song popped up in my recommendations a day after The Acolyte came out, lol.

One more. I'm fucking devastated that I haven't listened to this so fucking much I'm sick of it.
I mean, for me, now it's become quite pointless, dat little Jedi babe Rey rocks the shit.
And with now Han AND Leia dead, I guess the next in the new trilogy will be EXACTLY like the Star Wars that we used to know - from a certain point of view.
'Cause what's for sure is that Episode VIII is gonna be a DAMN dark second movie in the trilogy.

We are brother! Disney has never been so low.
Yes, it's bad but loads of these criticisms are on another level of stupidity. This song is still relevant today because the prequels are still meh movies (for the most part), but because it also reflects on current-day Star Wars well.

So im not the only one that actually noticed
Lol yes
Олег Лызь I see why you might think that, but you have to remember that most people think of something like a greenscreen when they think of special effects as opposed to a blue screen. So it makes more sense to use the green to symbolize special effects to convey the idea to the audience.

""Have your friends direct your movies and they'll turn out better""
Cute.
We need a part 2 for the disney star wars
Sounds good. I'd suggest covering some other song to better capture the notion of it, though. Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" might be appropriate. Or Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" maybe.
Why? This video came out when Lucas was rampantly changing the original trilogy with "improvements." Want to what the Star Wars you grew up with? Nope, Lucas won't let you. Even if you don't like the Disney movies, Disney is not changing the old movies. They even have a project to restore the original releases. The Star Wars you used to know is probably safer now that it ever was under Lucas. You may not like the new movies and that's fine, but at least the old movies are now safe.
Rhewin they are changing it, they just can’t change anything in the film releases since it was negotiated in the deal Lucas made for the purchase of Star Wars. However in the rise of sky walker they revived emperor palpatine and that essentially ruins the entire OG trilogy.
@@javanmills6152 But that also happened in the EU/Legends. It still doesn't change anything, and if you want to cut the saga off at 6 in your own head canon, you can.
Rhewin to be fair legends was inconsistent and contradictory at times which I didn’t mention, which was most likely why they decided to start fresh with their own cannon. I’m more disappointed in how Disney picked horrible directors and Kathleen Kennedy to run Lucas film. Since they had 40yrs+ worth of source material to draw from the EU, but created 3 films that won’t even sync together very well let alone the rest of the saga.
"they'll never get a Blu-Ray of the Star Wars that you used to know" - hurts even more now
Yeah. I'm pretty young, but I was lucky enough to own the non-special editions on VHS when I was little, and it's a shame that that's the best way to legally watch the original trilogy.
You can buy the despecialized trilogy on blu ray on etsy and other places
@@MrDemonsushiGuy It's not the same though as the actual originals.
@@MrDemonsushiGuy "buying" will kill it. Yes it's a PITA to get legitimately (even I haven't done it) but unless you want the full legal force of D$NY quashing DSE out of existence for everyone, ya gotta get it the way the DSE people say to get it.

That is why I prefer series like Star Trek, Babylon 5, Legend Of The Galactic Heroes, etc. that describe the future instead.

(Anakin wanted to learn how to do that for nearly his entire lifetime), Also, stormtroopers can fly now according to Disney, not like we’ve seen that before and force ghosts can wield lightsabers now so why not send Luke to kill Palpatine, he’s already dead. Can’t kill him twice. At least not that I know of.
@@dejohn8529 His redemption isnt pointless because it ties up Anakins story arc. And that has absolutely nothing to do with Vader being a badass. It's off topic and it's just something you want to complain about.
@@tylerrichardson3034 His Chosen One prophecy was made completely pointless if you want us to be more specific, Disney Star Wars ruined it.
the only bad ass scene we got to Vader was like two scenes in Rogue one and that's the only movie Darth Vader has appeared in since Disney took control of Star Wars.
Fans wanted Darth Vader movie yet Disney refuses to make one, you may not like what George Lucas did with the prequels but at least it created a new story that can expand on the lore of the universe. the prequels were really not that bad to be honest it just could have been executed better and he should have had someone write better dialogue for him.

As a kid at the time...I loved the prequels. I see their problems as an adult but still think they are good and great world building with an excellent animated series. With that said this was really great lol. Can't believe I haven't seen this
Same story happened to me.
Same, though I have to say the idea for the prequals was awesome. I don't want to spoil anything... so I guess I'd say I'm still a fan of them because what the prequals are based around.
I give the prequels a pass because you can tell George really cared about the product and story. His dialogue was abysmal, but at least the story is linear and ties up neatly at the end with few plot holes. A lot of stuff in the timeskips between 1-2 and 2-3 were covered well in the EU with George's input or approval. The sequels are terrible and they have spent years trying to retcon damn near everything to make them make sense in comics, novels, TV series, and video games.

That line played just after i read this comment lmao
Not really though... The OG Star Wars was indeed saved in large part by his friends (Steven Spielberg and Brian De Palma) when he asked them to review the semi-finished movie. Then he also had an amazing wife (Marcia Griffin) who contributed a lot in the editing and compositing (especially changing the original sequence of the early parts).
Then The Empire Strikes Back, George was involved the least in that movie, but the third one, the one that sucked the most out of the original trilogy, was the one where George was getting more involved again.
@@farequinas5615 Lucas was never a great director, but an amazing producer. Because one of the qualities of a good producer is not to be an artist and to keep out of creative details.
Ugh, I had such unreasonably high hopes when Disney resurrected the clone wars animated series. Now, every time I sit through a Disney Star Wars movie/series, it’s like having to watch bad men (and women) do unspeakably bad things to something/someone I care very much about. I don’t know why I still do it…? Maybe it’s my ego, but I feel like it needs me there to comfort, and help it get through its ordeal, reassuring it with the hope that things will get better. Other times, it feels like an ex-girlfriend who has “grown” into everything we said we’d never be. One who happily shed our once empowering dedications to self-respect, right from wrong, and integrity at the first chance she got. She ends our bumping into one another with, “You’re such a f’ng child - grow up!”

Clown Man the fights in the prequels are just as boring as the fight senses in the sequels, it’s all flashy effects to allow the audience to forget the shitty dialogue from a few minutes ago, they’re both dogshit
@@theviewer9305 You're being extremely dumb. Episode 1 and 2 mixed opinions, Episode 3 was generally liked just like the OT.
Now the sequels, they are DEFINETELY, hated by everyone, just some paid critics like it. And some dumb "fans" that don't understand anything about Star Wars.
This video is so stupid. The 3 Prequels were fucking great.
Everybody: George Lucas has ruined Star Wars!!!
Disney: Hold my beer.
:
Disney is better....wtf!!!??
@@xBrabus76 it's funny because you are joking.
@@ethanwalters4420 after Glucas divorce everything went sour the true Cannon fans are the makers of that xbox 360 game with starkiller + Family guys joke was in the movie mocking Hux on a call which auralnauts did better!
Alright that's really odd. Well good job pally
Best song parody in a long time. Very clever.
In a long time ago...
+Shirts Hub in a galaxy far far away
There was no blu-ray
The irony is that compared to what we have now... This was absolutely nothing.
Five years and 5 months later this is still one of the best star wars parodies. 10/10
Have you even heard i'm han solo?
Is nobody gonna acknowledge the fact that that's fucking Tyson from survivor
I lost my shit when I initially noticed that, came out of absolutely and truly out of nowhere.
Yes!! I was searching for this comment! I wasn't sure first.
SAME. I freaked out when I saw him and had to check the description/comments to make sure I was right.
So glad I'm not the only one that recognised him.
2012: The prequels were the worst idea ever
Today: I stand corrected
True👍
Except Revenge of the Sith. The only movie from the Prequels that actually compares to the original trilogy.
It gives the first 3 ( phantom menace, attack of clones and revenge of the Sith) are vital to the story and actually quite needed
But episodes 4, 5, and 6 were made first, The prequels only told Anakin's story but it isn't really needed
@@Dalandan no it makes Vader's character look like a bitch lol the prequels are fucking ass
I'm here after the acolyte.
Not that mando season 3, Asohka, Book of Boba didn't deserve me coming here... But acolyte reached a new low.
TYSON ?! Why is nobody talking about the freakin’ Survivor legend being in this cover! 🤯
I watched this years ago before I had seen him on Survivor. I watched it tonight out of the blue and was like, "Is that Tyson?"
@@Shadowcards I was looking closely as well earlier and then the reveal lol
Was searching through the comments for someone else to think this was Tyson lol
Yeah I’m a survivor fan and I thought he looked like him but it actually was wow
Yeah lol. He makes every season he was in better. HvV, BvW, WaW...
I don't know how I'm only seeing this for the first time in 2016.
I was asking myself the same question...
Me too lol
