- Star Wars sure is annoying to hear about all the time isn't it, but here we are nearly fifty years later still endlessly discussing it. This video perfectly came together, like magic, to be finished on May 4th, but frivolous copyright claims squashed the dream.

I'm so glad you took a dig at Star Wars Theory, he's been trying to destroy Star Wars for years, fighting with Pablo Hidalgo, Etc, all the while riding it's coat tails into financial gain. I wish people could approach what they don't necessarily enjoy about it, like you have. Thumbs up.
The best worst SW RUclipsr. Him being the most subbed channel says a lot abt the SW fanbase’s priorities ngl
If theory made his own Star Wars shit it’d just be rebel moon 😂
Star wars what a brilliant film, this film got me into science fiction, I remember my parents took me and my brother to the Colchester Odeon in December 1977 and it changed my life forever, George Lucas he is up there with Kubrick.
THIS THE ONE WE BEEN WAITING FOR 🎉
the one where I bully Jar Jar
Fizz! Thank you for this 🎉
Andor!!
The original 1977 Star Wars remains my favorite for numerous reasons. At the time there was nothing quite like it, the story really stretched the imagination, introduced one of the best most iconic villain's in history in the form of Darth Vader, had some really strong guest cast, had a mind blowing music score, amazing affects for the time and brought the old concept of good versus evil up to date. The Disney crap is just typical 21st century kicking the dented can down the road because today's far less talented story tellers aren't capable of coming up with anything new Rogue One being an exception to that.
why is rogue one an exception?
Good video. Thank you for this contribution to some of the greatest cinema of the 20th century. The OT is truly a masterpiece.
Couldn't agree more! and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
🎶... Cerveza Cristal .... 🍺
Now I'm thirsty
Star Wars to me is unbridled childhood imagination!
I love the metaphoric myths through the original trilogy. Taking something that works in one genre, and advancing it (in it's time) in another.
I definitely agree with you but I'm having a hard time pin-pointing an example of what you're talking about, is there one that you think is your favorite?
@@Fizz.mp4 Ben handing Luke the saber (passing the torch)
Saving a princess (Leia) locked in a castle (Death Star) by an evil sorcerer (Vader)
Father Atonement (Vader telling Luke he's his father and Luke trying to see the good in his father).
Leia's hologram has always given me that arthuric mythical meeting with the goddess energy; feels similar to the hero being shown the princess in the tower guarded by the dragon through a crystal ball or magic mirror pool
@@Fizz.mp4 Yes. Now you see my point. Lol
This isn't the first Star Wars video, but it's certainly the most!
I first experienced Star wars, as the special editions LOL that's why I always have love for them. The DVDs rented from blockbuster, the little clips at the beginning explaining how the special editions are upgraded, the THX or whatever logo and sound does the movie loads up. Then you get to the Star wars opening credits.
Great video
thank you :)
This trumps anything I've made in the past two years. Kudos on summarizing and articulating both what made Episode 4 so monumental despite Lucas' filmic fallabilities & the ongoing pulse of the series as a consequence of ragebaiting.
Jesus Skrilly you don't gotta glaze me up on every annual fizz video, but thank you, this video has been through hell and back in the script and edit and it means a lot coming from a friend :)
Nit Pick: The movie released in theaters as just "Star Wars", at the time. It was never "The Star Wars". Lucas dropped the "The" from the title sometime during post-production, so even though crew patches etc. still had "The Star Wars" as the title, the movie was never known to the general public as anything other than "Star Wars" until Lucas re-titled it "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" on the next re-release after the Empire Strikes Back was released as "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". I think it was about a year after ESB's release.
Needless to say, that original movie is always the first thing I think of when I think of Star Wars.
The Star Wars, to my understanding was the title Lucas had on the limited release version with the stock footage pre-visual effects and less refined editing, but for the most part I just like the clunky mouth feel of The Star Wars, it fits the more Flash Gordon, pulp-fiction elements
@@Fizz.mp4 According to Wikipedia, which cites Empire of Dreams as the source, he changed it during production, so it would have never made it to anything the public ever saw. Sure, it may have still been in his "pre-visualization" version with the WWII dogfight footage culled from newsreels and other flms, but that was only ever seen by production staff and maybe his friends, like Coppola and De Palma. But if it's a name you like to use to disambiguate the original, non-special edition theatrical cut from later incarnations, especially the special editions, then fair enough.
It's gonna sound crazy to compare star wars to the bible but to me calling Episode 4, The Star Wars, is kinda like calling The Old Testament the Torah or Koran, or like calling the New Testament the Gospels, it's just a name and I have one that I like the specific mouth feel and personal meaning of but I'm not trying to make a factual claim about star wars; I should have researched properly about the name and given clarity in the video instead of assuming my preferred title was an original or even official title, especially since part of the video is about not assuming, but I hope it didn't ruin the video for you too much
There are many points worth addressing here but I can't get past questioning if you just spent forty five minutes trying to say, " if you don't like it, move on, and keep your mouth shut? "
I got no problem with people who criticize or complain about Star Wars and if you don't like it please open your mouth and articulate what you don't like but I don't think saying "this film shouldn't exist" or "this film is ruining society or culture" is a valid criticism someone should be rewarded for with social or monetary incentives like youtubers are; the most viewed, highest ad revenue, greatest subscriber count Star Wars channels have built much of their fan bases off wishing Daisy Ridley and the Star Wars sequels into the grave and this video is forty five minutes of screaming against that while also talking about what I like and dislike about Star Wars
@@Fizz.mp4 You made lots of good points worth responding to but don't want to waste my time on shills and there soooo many of them. I also agree that there are way too many RUclipsrs saying basically the same thing over and over. I'm sick of bad movie take downs. I used to really enjoy them; now, I just want good movies and tv shows. The last true quality movie was Return of the Jedi and I have tons of problems with that movie. I don't enjoy most Star Wars content but love Star Wars. The potential for true greatness is there but no one has gotten close. Not even your beloved Andor. Suffice to say, not a fan.
Solid, well made video over all. Will leave a thumbs up.
Why is star wars, who is star wars, how is star wars, where is star wars?
Star Wars.
No Episode IV. No "A New Hope". No Greedo even getting a shot off, much less shooting first. Not even Darth Vader recovering control of his ship.
Just Star Wars.
I just want Star Wars
Even as a big Star Wars fan, who cares if Greedo shot first? Han was a self-preserving smartass.
@@CaptGage It's about the actual preservation of a real-world historical artifact; not about a bunch of dorks arguing about what happened in imagination land.
Unless you were there when Star Wars came out in the 70s, you really have no idea. I mean that in the most respectful way possible. When it hit, it was a cultural moment that stood out and you realized it in real time. The equivalent of when Grunge absolutely altered the music space. Or the dawn of the Internet. Almost overnight, the entire game had changed. To use a much-diluted term, it was a milestone.
Studying the influences, inspirations, motives, aesthetics, the art, or the cultural impact of SW is no more or less affected or inane than literary analyses of past creative media. As far as liking any of the SW Media that has been produced, that is a matter of taste; and some take their critique too far. Some fans, reviewers and movie critics have created a toxic atmosphere, and the space has become a battleground in the culture war. This has given oxygen to an emphatic negativity that borders on hatred. Which is unfortunate. It used to be said that "hate" was a strong word, and people were cautioned against using it so cavalierly.
I really enjoy the thought and effort you place in your videos. Your work is definitely greatly appreciated.
thank you, this means a lot. I think you've just perfectly summarized why I felt like I needed to make this video. I'm really tired of shallow hate and low effort analysis for the sake of easy content and high viewership
Dude. This is really good. Fuck😂😂😮😮
be or not to be star wars?
do or do not star wars?
Because ... our families have dementia .. so starwRss Was always on free to air t .Elevision. buut youtube reviews are all so amazing .. even critical reviews give us that nostalgia of schoolyard times
too true ace wick ham yoshi8330 too true
The most sacrelgious thing is the most fervent fanatical Star Wars fans sending death threats to cast, crew, and other fans.
My star war is the stuff I like. Canon, legends, all the glup shittos. Also mfs saying shit not canon while Luthen droppin bars and jar jar binks bingo and chewie wookie cookie cookin I can’t let it go 😅
people more concerned with sending death threats and telling people what star wars isn't than just enjoy star wars
@@Fizz.mp4 they wanna start wars ba dum tsss
oh sheesh, you come up with that on the spot Shakespeare?
@@zogwort1522 tell that to Ahmed Best and Jake Lloyd while you’re at it you absolute fool 🤦♂️
@@zogwort1522 Tell that to Ahmed Best and Jake Lloyd while you’re at it downplaying how seriously f’ed up rabid this fanbase is 🤦♂️
I disagree
woah... bold
Andor is Star Wars
yep.
Is star wars?
star wars is george lucas, it stopped being star wars when it was disney, you are wrong and yes we are not watching it
This guy has awful takes. A guy that cherry picks a few Star Wars films and says he’s a fan. Real fans don’t cherry pick a film or two and say they like Star Wars. All the boomers that only like a New Hope and Empire only like an aspect of Star Wars, not the overarching story, lore and world building. A real Star Wars fan sees consistent lore and stories that are cohesive and can appreciate it even if a particular piece of content flops a little delivering it. Absolutely hating Attack of the Clones like the maker of this video does shows that they don’t like Star Wars for what it truly is. Freaking out over any cute creature like an Ewok or something also misses one of the biggest draws to Star Wars. Lighthearted quirkiness that overlays a dark plot.
Disney Star Wars isn’t cohesive, maybe the prequels were a little cringe sometimes, but there was love and effort put into them, Disney trash is all political agenda and random writers/directors shooting their shot hoping it sticks. Lazy music, writing, plot and more. It feels spray and pray and that’s why folks have rallied around the prequels as they see the contrast.
Anyone that calls Andor a masterpiece also has a few screws loose. It was decent and was one of the better shows. But anyone who has watched real high quality films and TV series knows it was only decent.
I don’t think any singular Star Wars film on its own is a masterpiece, and it most certainly can’t be likened to any other genre, it’s kind of in its own category. However, the overall lore, and plot is so enthralling and unique, that’s why it’s good.
I don't think I have to love everything to say I am a fan of star wars. people are football fans and only like one team. I do not come to star wars from a lore perspective I come to star wars as a wannabe filmmaker and look at the originals and the prequels as the revolutions in filmmaking that they were and thats where my love has grown from
I am sorry but Stars Wars is pretty bad. The story is bad and the special effects are pretty bad. It's hard to watch. The exposition is really bad in Return of the Jedi.
Easy...time does *not* exist!
too true
