Why do boomers hate this fixed scene?
its bad thats why
I'm hardcore against fucking with the classics especially when they haven't been made for purchase since 2006, but that is amazingly well done. I'd only trim a few small moments, but it's kino.
Said boomers hate literally anything from the OT being touched in any way. Even the objectively good changes from the special editions got heat.
some people just want to see Star Wars the way it was originally shown to people in 1977, nothing more.
I've never seen this but it's shit and the original scene was almost as shitty
>NOOOOOOOOO TWO OLD MEN FRAILY SWINGING GLOW STICKS IS HOW MASTER JEDI FIGHTS WERE MEANT TO LOOK LIKE
It's not bad, artistically speaking. But it doesn't fit.
>objectively good changes
Like?
Obi-Wan doesn't look old enough
Victory Celebration instead of Yub Nub.
Giving the cameraman parkinsons doesn't improve the scene
somewhere in-between, really.
The zoomer scene doesn't look real enough. It doesn't look like the characters it looks like stunt guys doing choreography.
Also the camera doesn't need to be that janky and over-dramatic especially not for Star Wars.
I liked it at the start, then they started doing the unnecessary pirouette shit like in the prequels
This was cringe. All the tampering is terribly obvious and Tim&Eric-tier.
Did George do this or some fans?
fpbp
That shit is terrible.
>Why do boomers hate this fixed scene?
Because it's just a fight scene. It takes more than that to flesh out characters.
Don't fix it if it's not broken.
because it's too long
Because originally it was based off of kendo, this shit looks like trash
Fuck you. Yub Nub is literally the best.
Victory Celebration is great, but really doesn't feel like it belongs in the film. The sound is so different when compared to anything else in the film.
Would you faggot doomers and millennials just go watch your gay prequels and leave the OT alone
Getting the real Sheev in Empire
Because it's an old man fighting a cripple you fucking retard, what do you think it would look like?
GenXer here.
This is the gayest most millennial thing I've ever seen.
You mean the scene that completely ruins the reveal later in the film? Yeah great job George.
>its bad
It's iconic you fucking pleb
it misses the point
obviously low budget GCI but it would be straight up better with this choreography, minus the Obiwan voice from E3.
OG lightsaber fight is boring AF.
>a fan video is iconic
Honestly I'm just so baffled by this video. I see it being shilled non-stop like it's a masterpiece or something. I haven't even gone through it completely because everytime I watch it I get intense second hand embarrassment for the video, and the people who actually think this is "good".
Seriously these added shitty duel scenes do nothing to move the plot forward, contextually and tonally they would be so out of place if put side by side on the film. Also the choreography is trash unlike the prequels.
Stop shilling this garbage, it's mediocre at best, bottom of the barrel fan garbage at worst.
Go watch a kendo match, George could have done better but Bob Anderson was a legend and you millennials talking shit about a sword master is laughable.
Once you reach a certain age your brain struggles to accept new information. It's just too much for the boomer.
>the choreography is trash unlike the prequels.
>unlike the prequels
Oh user, you were doing so well
>"Go watch a kendo match"
>all over in less than 2.5 seconds
Oh yea, that would have made for a way better scene.
Fucking dipshit.
I like the fights in the OT better than the prequels for sure, but that's what this video is trying to emulate, the prequel choreography for lightsaber duels. Before the prequels lightsaber duels were simple and fought like actual knights instead of shaolin stuff.
>has never watched a kino Samurai film
Fuck off pleb
Bob Anderson wasn't even in New Hope, and didn't choreograph the other two movies either. He was just Vader's stunt double.
He was in the Vader suit during the duel with Alex Guinness.
Seriously just fuck off at this point and lurk more
Because an Emperor who looks and talks nothing like the actual Emporer is better?
you can't make me watch this "cool" "badass" nerd fantasy shit
No he wasn't you fucking retard.
Bob Anderson was only in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
This isn’t the official GL version with RotS emperor, it’s a fan-made hack with RotJ emperor. And the new dialogue doesn’t spoil anything
>doesn't know Bob was fight arranger in Star Wars
>calls Star Wars a new hope
>being this much of a newfag
The fight is fine, but I think the dynamic camera style, Episode III voice clips, and music hinders the effect. They don't mesh well with the 70's style.
Peter Diamond was the fight arranger in the original trilogy, you spastic faggot. Stop giving credit to a guy that was there just cause Prowse was a clumsy fuck.
Bob Anderson choreographed Princess Bride, Highlander and Banderas Zorros. Which are frankly closer to the prequel spinny stuff than actual fencing.
Bob Anderson was kept a secret and uncredited but it's a well known fact he was fight arranger and was in the suit during the duel with Alec.
Only Mark Hamill kicking up a fuss got george to credit him on esb and Jedi.
Why do you think it's all filmed from a low angle?!
Alec was 5'10 and bob was 6'1 while Prowse was 6'7.
You come into my house with this embarrassing knowledge of Star Wars, pleb get on my level. Shit it's even talked about in the LoTR appendixes
>He was just Vader's stunt double.
Why do they need the stunt double? You're already dubbing his lines and you get a different guy for the one scene without the mask anyway. Just put the stunt double in the suit the whole time!
>Bob Anderson was kept a secret
Nobody cared about the mythology of Vader during the making of the first Star Wars cause they had no idea the cultural impact the character is gonna have so they had no reason to keep it a secret.
And he was listed in the end credits as a stunt double. It wasn't specified as Vader, but most movies rarely go into the details in the end credits anyway.
Also plenty of movies have stunt doubles that aren't mentioned in the promotional tours so Hamill kicking up a fuss here was ridiculous. Why didn't he give a shout out to his own stunt double? Acting like he fixed some huge injustice when stunt doubles are a fucking staple of movie making since the beginning.
>Why do you think it's all filmed from a low angle?!
What low angles in the Death Star fight? It's all medium shots.
Who gives a fuck about LOTR appendixes? The Making of Star Wars book doesn't mention Anderson while they mention him in the ESB and ROTJ books all the time.
Not many stunt doubles were as tall as Prowse.
And Prowse just sucked at swordfighting that much? I mean, the fight we got was still pretty awkward.
I guess. I mean ESB fight is better than ANH in the dynamics department. It helped that they abandoned the whole trying to get the lightsaber glow in-camera and went with metal sticks that don't shatter on impact.
Obi-wan was never even trying in the real fight. A big fight where they struggle to overcome each other is pointless. The point of the scene is the line "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." which is completely washed out by everything else now.
