Ranking the George Lucas Star Wars Era - A Tier List
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2024
- George Lucas had a hell of a run with Star Wars. Starting with the original trilogy from 1977 to 1983 before restarting again with the prequel trilogy from 1999 to 2005. But that's not all Lucas had a hand in. There was the part he played in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, the Ewok movies, Shadows of the Empire, Clone Wars, The Clone Wars and minor touches on the likes of The Force Unleashed, The Thrawn Trilogy, his potential sequel trilogy and more. Here we rank them all from S to F! Thanks for watching

My favourite thing in this video is Maso saying he didn’t like anything Clone Wars, despite saying in the Clone Wars finale video he liked it. I genuinely love that, I think it’s terrific for a man to not remember a thing and just assumed he hates it. Very Harrison Ford of him, I’m a big fan
Well I genuinely love that you've given me a very hearty chuckle AFTER the brothers had finished their deeply flawed tier list.
If I'd followed my mum's advice I never would've even READ this comment.
Here's to ignoring your parents' attempts to make your life safe but boring.
Well, he is the man who doesn’t know anything about Star Wars.
Mason's "Oh Anakin, Oh Anakin!" bit is a new classic to add to the list of Mason ripping into Star Wars beautifully.
It's so good
My favourite thing about Star Wars is that all the fans agree which ones are good and there are no arguments online
It's refreshing
Trilogies in order of how good they are
1. Disney trilogy
2. Prequel trilogy
3. OG trilogy
Good one! 😀
@@NEONicon336you’re obviously a gentleman and a scholar!
@@shinankoku2 It takes one to know one. Good day to you, sir
I love that Mason nearly repeats word for word the same rant about Dooku's line in Attack of the Clones here that he already used in the actual Attack of the Clones Caravan of Garbage episode. Really solidifies how much he hates that line.
I believe he's talked about it on the podcast a couple of times too, his fury will not go without wrath
14:32 Damn that Obi-Wan yell was pretty spot on
Schrodingers Star Wars seems like the title of a film students thesis on duality of perception and nostalgia of Star Wars.
Them jokingly saying that the potential lucas sequel movies are perfect reminds me of when SW1313 was canceled. the nerds were up in arms at why a game which in their minds was going to be the best thing ever was canceled when in reality, we had seen next to nothing of that game and nobody knew whether it would be good or not. (In an era when SW games were kinda mediocure too)
@@emmiannon1266 I dipped out of that shit the moment I heard the main character got completely swapped with Boba Fett and that they were going to add Darth Maul into it. All part of George's vision, guys.
James: "Also, it brought technology forward so far in film making and..."
Mason: "Oh yeah, WELL SO DOES WAR"
Thanks for brightening up my day guys, y'all are hilarious
I love how Mason created the name Caravan of Garbage and forgot that he did that
*Suffering from success*
@@zachryder3150 Once again his mind works in such strange ways. I'll never forget the comment pointing out how he noticed the subtle pinstriping of Daniel Craig's suit changing between Bond films but not the entirely new Spider-Man suit in Amazing Spider-Man 2.
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep Dude knows his suits, less so his supersuits
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep @sabrina63 I can't even find my own supersuit! I keep asking Honey if she's seen it, and she just asks me why I want to know.
Mason forgot he loved the clone wars somehow
“Somehow Mason forgot about liking The Clone Wars” is almost as frusturating as “Somehow Palpatine returned” 😅
I feel like if everything isn't just in S-tier you'll get some form of H8 Mail
Even though I’m fully aware it was a bit, I was genuinely upset when they put Empire as C tier. 😂
but theyll get that if they do put some things in s tier too. its a catch 22
The Christmas special?
@@ColinGrealyhonestly, empire is not that great.. it’s entirely nostalgia based.
Its fine.
Bonus points for the era it came out in, but still. Adults without childhood connection to it don’t rate it very highly
There are people who will hate you for liking things.
A lot of people don't realize the Nazi's main platform was actually for Super Smooches.
I KNEW IT FOR YEARS! Caravan of Garbage is named after Caravan of Courage!
They’ve said it for years too..
Any body who goes through the catalog of videos can see that. The very first one was on Caravan of Courage the TV special
It was originally called “never go back”.
Actually the working title for COG was Blue Harvest.
@@christopherlee8989 A lovely confident wrong fact
Hearing the "chimes ring to turn the page" was an entire moment from my childhood revisited. THANKS EDITORS!!!
Records?! What developing nation did you grow up in?
Here in the land down under we had the latest in 8-track technology for our brutally expurgated story-books.
I love how James mentions that Caravan of Garbage was named after Caravan of Courage by Mason and Mason is like "is it?" and James is like "You named it!"
"Have a consensus" is a new phrase to my ears, I was expecting "make a comprimise"
I like it when people just comment random thoughts in their head
I was going to complain about Star Wars/Empire being ranked too high at C, but the ‘Turn The Page’ chime has pacified me.
Carry on.
You'll know it is time to turn the page when you hear R2_D2 beep, like this: Beep.
"Too HIGH at C"?? What are you people on?! It's the best movie of the entire franchise!
How's your comment 11 days old on a 6 day old vid? Is that a RUclips error?
The editing here is amazing as always. I hope they're paying you your worth. You've definitely earned it.
I don't know what you decided to make George Lucas sexy as fuck in the thumbnail. But it's a great move.
This video is fine! I don't have any strong feeling about Star Wars at all! You two did an acceptable job on this one!
Yep, solid C effort fellas.
Right where the "better" prequels sit.
Clone Wars is E at best.
I wish a minor mention had gone directly to the OG Battlefronts. Nothing carried the prequels and kept the OG in mind more. Seriously, the prequels I think would be one quarter portion the nostalgia trip for people with out getting to run around as the jedi from the prequels and fighting againts and as the droids.
"WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS," still carries to this day!
Mason doing some Revisionist History himself there saying that he didn't like any of the Clone Wars Arcs he has watched on the channel.
“Our series is named after Caravan of Courage.”
“Is it?”
“Yeah…”
“Huh.”
“YOU named it!”
It wasn't called star wars episode 4 when it came out in cinemas ya goofy, it was just called Blue Harvest
James saying "we looked at the comic!" moments before Mason asks "is there a comic?" was very sad. Bad mate Maso not listening to good mate James (nah they're both great mates)
I like how there was no arguing about ESB. Straight to S tier without even a discussion.
Empire is overrated. All the Dagobah stuff is so _boring._
@@ThreadBomb hot take brah
the yell at 14:31 was perfect
“You named it” - James
“Ya but I didn’t think it would take off” - Mason
To be fair the same thing happened to The Beatles, who were a 60s rock and pop band
Love that I'm listening to this in the background and I hear James barely clingling to life after skulling the soft drink equivalent of that mummy juice from a few years back and somehow that second of sound is so vivid that I am able to immediately place it. Really stellar work from the team here. The particular conflux of content and editing there is really something
Did you know Sam Witwer, (voice and model of Starkiller), has done a livestream series of The Force Unleased with a long time friend and director of sound design on the game? I think it's 4 parts and they play through the game and talk a lot about how it came to be, why some decisions were made, what it was like working on it, and some other really interesting behind the scenes stuff. They also had some guests on, who worked on the game and all in all it's just a pretty fun & interesting watch, so I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested that kind of stuff or really wants to watch 2 grown men geek out about a game they made. It's on his RUclips channel "Sam Witwer"
Thanks for the tip, I might have to check that out. I absolutely love TFU. Even though it was struck from the official canon, it remains in my head canon.
i thought your comment was going to be a Blue Harvest joke...
i was wrong.
I've had a soft spot for both Ewok films (outside of ROTJ) since watching them as a kid. Nostalgia aside, they're not particularly good films, but they're not awful either.
They build on the Ewok lore in an interesting way. The log traps the Ewoks use in ROTJ on the AT-ST walkers were reasonably already set up as traps against a marauding Gorax. And neat to see more of the Ewok engineering in the form of their gliders and villages constructed at height.
I always considered the Ewok 'magic' to be expanded use of the force by a shamanistic culture.
Nick Mason sold me fentanyl
I think the OG trilogy will always be the best - all three are S and if I’m totally honest, ROTJ is my favourite - the locations are just the best! Empire is also genius though.
”WAR!”
”Woah-woah-woah-woh”
”What is it good for?”
”Actually, developing technology! Say it again!”
This might be a hot take but I think the animated segment of the holiday special is one of the best pieces of Star Wars animated media.
I agree. It had a very Aeon Flux vibe to it.
That's not a hot take, we literally ALL think that
Needed the "George Lucas's Salad Unboxing Video" - Rocket Science Fiction
You guys are the only ones who make tier lists that give me a brain aneurysm lmao
Did they just confirm that Caravan of Garbage is named after Caravan of Courage? Amazing. I wanted it to be true but wasn't foolish enough to hope it was.
The "knights of the old republic" video games are s tier lucas era content
The whole team on this channel is amazing. Yes, Mason and James are of course charming and fun, but the editing is hilarious, deft, and really its own character.
Something that I feel compelled to remind people of from time to time: George Lucas' non-Star War accomplishments are pretty staggering. Pixar. Lucasarts. Skywalker Sound. Industrial Light and Fucking Magic. I'll even throw in Skywalker Ranch...
I already know I'm not ready for this lol
I still don’t know why Im so invested in these videos 😂😂 Now I don’t miss your Breaking Down Easter Eggs in Trailers videos anymore
The phantom menace in D tier is criminal! Love the video
I love telling everyone younger than me that I don’t consider anything made after RotJ to be canon.
Damn you think you're actually early for once and then you see comments from a week ago
If it's any consolation, I'm also seeing your comment a week later
Wooooooooooo Mr Sunday movies just dropped new Star Wars video woooooooooo
I love the original trilogy, but for me Heir to the Empire is the best piece of Star Wars media. It’s incredible, and I wish to never see an adaptation of it to avoid it being soiled
Maso saying he hates all of TCW appears to contradict the caravan of garbage canon in which he gave numerous compliments regarding the quality of those arcs
A tierl list of movies by SNL alumni would be cool. Everybody from Bill Murray to Chris Kattan.
The Clone Wars TV show should always be an S tier. It has everything Star Wars should've been.
This video had a satisfying emotional arc
By barely putting any effort into the actual ranking, which is hilarious, I truly have no idea what these videos even are. It’s not informative, it’s not even really opinionated. It’s just 2 guys kinda talking about Star Wars and basically going “yeah that one exists”. Perfect video
"How can you have a Star Wars video and not have a Blue Harvest reference" Anakin Skystroller - Star Trek Chapter 3: Vengeance of the Shit
Love this
Five stars for using IPA to show the pronunciation, but I have to deduct a point, because James said in episode 525 of The Weekly Planet that he likes war, and here he says he doesn't. WHICH IS IT, JAMES?
James is just fishing for the h8mail at this point
My OCD can’t handle the jovial placing of films.
Video idea: Guess the Mr Sunday Movies video from the negative comment
Can't believe they forgot that Leia kisses Luke when they swing across the Death Star shaft
That was for luck. In empire it was for fuck.
@@angbald I hate you for this. Have a like!
The @ashens crossover is the random youtube team up I never knew I needed until now.
I went to Star Wars After Dark at Disneyland. It was OK! Fun fact though, the original name for Star Wars was "Blue Harvest"... which was the original name for Star Wars.
The "nooooOOOO" of vader falling down the pit took me by surprise and gave me a coughing fit
Ah damn, I was hoping the boys would talk about Robot Chicken Star Wars! I feel like Lucas had significantly more involvement in that than Force Unleashed, for example.
And the weird bts skits between him and Seth Green are always a fun watch.
Next tier list they're ranking all the wars!
Can we get a force unleashed reboot with Sam Witwer IN the Fallen Order Style, those two character would mesh/clash so well
Episodes 4 and 5 in C tier? How dare you! (I haven’t finished the video and shall not!)
Man I need to sign up for big sandwich to get this video early and it’s only a cheap price of 9 usd a month! Incredible.
S-tier stuff is when GL is sitting around screening Ep. I and saying “I think we made a mistake” 😂
Star War does improve technology. Thats why we do so many Star Wars.
Xizor That is my favorite late 90's romcom Xizor just needed to see their true beauty all along.
Looking back on it, Splinter of the Mind's Eye feels like a really early version of what Andor would do masterfully, in that it's much more about espionage than big budget battles.
Caravan of courage should be in S on their list for obvious reasons.
Just noticing a new hope chewbacca looks a bit like John travolta and now I don’t know what to do with this information
When it comes to lightsaber combat, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy were definitely the top games to play! And I love the story of Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, the seven dark Jedi, the Valley of the Jedi. Great stuff.
I give this video an S for Star Wars related content
Episodes II and III looking ugly makes a lot of sense once you realize they were shot on the same cameras as The Office.
I wish you discussed this. Episode 3: “There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.” So Sith are heroes??? Can they be???? Aren’t they villains???? And if there are heroes on both sides, how is evil everywhere??? I never understood these sentences on Revenge of the Sith’s opening crawl!
The disturbance in the Force from fans being told hermit-Luke was GL's idea was far greater than the destruction of Alderaan or Order 66.
Left out kotor to make us mad. Fall for it to force them to play it!
Did not expect a cameo by Ashens' hands in this video!
Me: What a nice, cozy fandom. There are never any horrific discussions ever. What a non-controversial video.
Also me: I might send you d*ath treats for what you said about Clone Wars, MASO
I feel like we’re getting a “Hate mail but the h8 has and 8” coming next week
AOTC makes baby Jesus cry.
awaiting patiently your fallout series review!
I agree with this list
Please make a tier list of franchises with significant fandoms. Also a tier list of movies that did terribly at the box office but are considered classics now. Also a tier list of "cinephile" movies such as train arriving at the station, Citizen Kane, every Stanley Kubrick movie, and uhmmm... the movie Dodgeball, I reckon. I will personally guarantee that no viewer will become upset watching any of those tier list videos.
Seeing the Thrawn trilogy in S warms my heart
I realized just how big of a nerd I am watching this because I was anxious the moment ANH and ESB were placed in C Tier... And then felt instantly better when they were moved to the top. Vader Scream: Noooooooooooooooooo!
I saw the Ewok movies before I saw the original trilogy. I was very disappointed there were no ewoks in New Hope or Empire Strikes Back
Leia kissed Luke in a new hope as well, before they swung across the ledges.
Yeah but she didn't use tongue until Empire
9:27 "Shadows of the Empire" is my favorite "Star Wars" story. Ever.
Would be super curious to hear you rank the sequel trilogy and Disney plus shows. Perhaps when Acolyte comes out?
idk man, "2 distinct eras"? Those EU novels have a very different feel from either the George Lucas or Disney movies. Most of them feel more like Rogue One (which also doesn't feel like either of those '2 distinct eras') I'd call them a 3rd era. edit: also, like you said "George Lucas didn't care for them and said he'd overwrite them no problem". It's not even "didn't care" as in hated, there's an interview quote where he said "the books and video games and comic books are things I think are incredibly creative but that I don’t really have anything to do with other than being the person who built the sandbox they’re playing in." So yeah, not "George Lucas era".
After years of Star Wars media ive come to the conclusion that I have never been a Star Wars fan rather I just like space fights and laser swords
Putting Dark Empire in A tier is the most based ranking ever. You have shown courage not to bow to fan opinion on that story and you have my respect.
The clip of him drinking the 20 year old pepsi made me burt out laughing
Wait , we get the force unleashed game but not the dark forces/Jedi Knight games? Those were great
Disappointed James didn’t throw in both rebel moon films as a joke. And I would partially like to see where they got ranked in comparison
Bold of you to give this list A-tier, personally think thats a bit high
Clone-be-one Klone-obi
