Re: Star Wars vs. Saul Bass

[Roaningdotcom]

Hilarious.

[jimbis3]

you are a brilliant man.i tip my tiny green hat at you sir.

[zecle]

awesome ! star wars the series 1977 ! better than star trek !

[brianofoblivion]

lmao.

[princeminski47]

The first one was a gas, but this is REALLY clever.

[KraftwithaK]

Unbelievably fantastic. 

[bobbygnosis]

More LASERS. More JABA. More EXPLOSIONS.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHSSSSSSSSSS!!­!!!!!!!!

[5OClockVegasBlue]

Hilarious!

[cosmodrome]

Fantastic! A perfect irony on Lucas neurosis.

[lunarpollen]

HAHAHA good one brooksy!!!

[nameofthepen]

Nice!

[LittleJazz07]

Soooo much worse than the original saul-bass vs star wars.

[brooksy362436]

Now you're geting it.

[blindandwatching]

A very Saul Bass beginning to Star Wars. Good Saul Bass tribute.

[NeuroHead]

LOL! good work .

This is the way it was intended =)

[drittek]

great spoof... i hate jar jar

[PandoraCaitiff]

Bravo! Well played sir!

I get the joke even if it seems many do not :-)

[Rosstopher]

this one sucks compared to the original. It seems you forgot what saul bass was about and decided to just ADD more pictures to it because star wars is awesome right? Ya more references will make it better YAAAAAA...

Your like George Lucuas going back and adding scenes because you couldn't do it the first time. If your spoofing off of that note, great job. But I don't think you did...

[brooksy362436]

Of course i'm 'spoofing off that note'. It's obvious to pretty much everyone else who added a comment, but not you for some reason.

[Rosstopher]

@brooksy362436 lol I didn't even think of that being tied into the new star wars. I really am NOT a starwars fan in the least, and I REALLY like the original. I was really upset with this one when I saw it on an artistic level. haha JOKES ON YOU Not everyone is a starwars nerd. Jeez i was really upset with this video at the time. and that was two months ago lol. haha I only replied like that in constructive criticism as well, and if your in the graphics world better get used to it or gtfo. Peace

[mrtwills]

You're a moron, you don't get that this was making fun of the "new" star wars and not trying to improve the saul bass titles.

[akizeta]

Oh, lord, that's horrible! Funny, but horrible.

[EvilShrinkyDink]

Only a true Star Wars fan would get this. Absolutely hilarious.

[rabbitandcrow]

Great, great work!

[fedtho]

CHEEERS !!!

Everything we all (we, the true fans LOL) thought when the """remastered""" editions came out, with their silly "more monsters" and "more spaceships" obsession - absolutely

***BRILLIANT*** :D

I don't think brooksy needs to hear how good the original is - his using it is obviously a tribute, not an attempt to do better.

[commodorevic]

hilarious meta spoof

[jurassicmarcmarc]

The original is AMAZING. Stick to the original. Less is more in this case.

[km9OOO]

Instead of being about 70% of the original vision, it's about 85%...

[Gummifunzel]

that´s dump!

the original is very much better!

[Inzane81]

That's what we all said years ago!

[TyrusB]

Why does Chewbacca/Peter Mayhew always get the shaft?!

[Lianabanana88]

this is so funny! great job ehehehee

[baskervillain9]

This is hillarious! Great idea.

[wastedkila]

i like it a lot!

[allenu]

Nice riff on the other vid!

[laszlohace]

pretty cool!

[MarkP0rter]

damn i already loved the original but this edited version...this is one of the best replies on youtube ever and it just made me laugh like hell. i guess you have to be a big star wars geek to get those jokes and laugh your ass off about this.

[AllAboutMEHStudios]

I think you're missing the point of the original (the original Saul Bass one)

[AttilatheProf]

I'm pretty sure that that's the joke of it.

[ZaphodBoone]

Solo shooting first would have being a most.

[behnnie]

Hilarious! I love it!

[bbdupon]

Inspired--very funny!

[mikekearn]

Oh man, my eyes are tearing up I'm laughing so hard. That was excellent. Great dig at Lucas.

[irikimoss]

yeah you guys own ahahah truly amazing :D

[johnsonerson]

I don't think I have ever laughed harder while watching a youtube video than I did just now.

[MauricioGarces]

Love it!!!

[riprhodes]

Haha. Spot on.

[notthemusewere]

hehehhe. I was loving this, and just HOPING you'd homage the stupid "circular explosion" at the end....and you did!

Particularly like how Jar-Jar covers up the names, too.

[ohrmets]

haha very clever dig at Lucas!

[Steeler49er]

Yes, shock wave...My bad. ;P

[wilhelmrahn]

lol, nice description :P

[VisualNerd]

You ruined it!

[bEx3d]

VisualNerd, i thought that was the point, i mean, it was making fun of all the random additions that were added on top of the old movie.

[VisualNerd]

This video could be funnier if it was way over the top. Right now it's just not cutting it. Don't you agree, bEx3d?

[Steeler49er]

LOL-Yes! that rocked and so worked...When I saw the deathstar at the end I was like "Please add that stupid Stargate explosive ring effect, that will hammer the joke".

Awsome.

[pegbars]

It's called a shock wave. ;)

[ianfcrowley]

Like I said, the joke here is the "improvements". You obviously don't get the reference.

[goulue]

awesome!

[s7rugg1es]

that last explosion is freaking hilarious

[maintayn]

clever

[Kunezite]

Hi-lar-ious.

[SimplyPaul]

Nicely observed.

[pressfiretostart]

Hahah. Very nice.

But I would have liked MOAR STORMTROOPERS at 0:31 ;)

[Ripplin]

A truly great "homage" to the original SW vs. SB! :)

[SuperGeniusLtd]

man, this is so awesome...

[SuperGeniusLtd]

man, this is so awesome...

[heragh]

is an action ovie,so...the added dynamics was good... less the very descriptive scenes, as han on jabba or the final explotion, very predictable. Way better then the original without these 2.

[RollandB]

it was great, except for the lightsaber, they don't go with the rest of the sequence

[srb1369]

Nicely done. Love the extraneous Dewback and Han stepping on Jabba's tail.

[mastersaurkon]

not as good as star wars vs. saul bass

[TriggerManEAP]

this version much better

[karaloyal]

Freaking Brilliant!

[SmiertSpionem]

It gives the ending away lol! Excellent!

[PaulRayIsMe]

LOL! This is brilliant! I went back and looked at the original, then read your intro and it all made sense. great parody-of-a-parody.

[FroMarty]

Hab stepping over Jabba, lol

[fossildude181]

The first was brilliant, but the meta in this made me ROFL.

[Megafanchi]

Cool how you manage to capture the "George LUCAS Syndrome". For G.L., Good is never enough ...... until it turns to crap.

As brilliant as "Star Wars vs. Saul Bass Classic". Merci pour le Sharing!

[SmiertSpionem]

true!

[WashingtonBeUpInThis]

Brilliantly played sir.

[Culo4liphe]

There are so many messed up things in the world going on and you guys are still arguing about a little comment i made one month ago. Everyone below this comment needs to grow up, damn fanboys.

[feedergoldfish]

Exellent! Having a little fun at the Special Edition's expense.

[DistantJ]

Hahaha, good job.

[Culo4liphe]

The first one is still getting more views anyways. So why is everyones butt hurt about this one, its the same thing but with more crap, and it was done poorly.

[KjellBrel]

Guess you didn't watch the "Special Edition" versions Lucas released?

[quornholio]

You ruined the other guy's video. Please don;t try to "improve" someone else's work. Show some originality.

[ianfcrowley]

this is obviously a reference to Lucas' ridiculous star wars remasters. I think it's pretty damn funny.

[dracowar]

The other person like it so they give it their endorsement.

[lustreboy]

ah we dwel in a Remix culture now. Parodies may be less 'original' than some forms, but feck it, if it's funny, then what's the harm?

it's not as if the original piece doesnt' still exist.

it's like when people cover a song and fans of the original get all irate. chill out! you've still got 'your' version. Relax!!

[DaVideoProductions]

If you can't understand the concept here, then you sir are an idiot.... PS The orginal creator gave this one a thumbs up. Read their endorsement on the original version's "About this video". I hate idiots....

[quornholio]

Dude, you have to call people "idiots"? I hadn't realised it was a parody of a parody, etc. Fact is, there are a lot of videos that throw in everything but the kitchen sink in "improving" their forebears, without adding anything of substance. I thought that this was one of those.

But, now that I see the shtick in it, I'll admit that I was wrong.

[FuelDiego]

Sorry, but the first one is the best... this is very poor (less is more, remember this?)

[turpskadey]

Does nobody get this is satire poking fun at the special edition?

[KjellBrel]

Amazingly enough very few seem to do so. So sad.

[manwithoutabody]

I get it. Because it says "Special Edition" at the beginning. You'd have to be as dumb as George Lucas has been lately to miss that.

[turpskadey]

some still manage anyway.

[Bulacanos]

cluttered

[cghughes]

Genius!

[paintballcraka]

ha

this is great, its so true

nice job man

[kylekubrick]

I loved this parody. Saul Bass's credits for Spartacus were especially great.

[ORCA4312]

That's good satire. I didn't care for the remasters either.

[Culo4liphe]

The first one was better. This one wasn't Saul Bass style.

[alastairward]

I think that's the idea, in the same way that Lucas went overboard with the special effects in the remakes of the originals.

[honeym0nsta]

You're totally missing the point.

[tropicalcatdetective]

Great joke man, my girlfriend and I laughed so hard when that annoying girl-singing alien showed up. The original saul bass vs star wars was brilliant and this takes the gag that little bit further without losing the funny - well done!

[billmckay]

Ok, as brilliant as the original was, this is even better! I can't stop laughing.

[markleggett]

Genius, so funny (and true)

[feioo]

Anyone know where the music came from? Is it original, or is it from one of Saul Bass's real openings?

[bhilmers]

The song is "Machine" by The Buddy Rich Band. See the original video "Star Wars vs. Saul Bass" for the music info.

[feioo]

thanks!

[harrietamidala1691]

C-3PO looks like a skeleton!

[captinnod]

There is so much extra win here it's _inconceivable_.

I award you 10 internets.

[Primad]

"All those weeks ago"!  Bwah!

[Valpolicella88]

That's funny. You're clever.

[asher808]

Nailed it! Bravo!

[Orcini]

Han stepping over Jabba is my favorite.

[Destrothjaan]

oh .... i get it! hahahahhahahaha

[IchHeisseK]

I love you.

[Lenkic13]

Ha ha! A very clever knock on the Special Editions. Nice work!

[thigmotatic]

haha

[Sharkwmu]

congratulations, you killed it with all the lame shit you added.

[splugrosh]

yeah... just like George Lucas did...

either you are missing the joke/satire or you are calling my bluff, but the additions are supposed to ruin it (as GL's additions ruined the original Star Wars)

[lindaoftx]

The video made me laugh... the "about this video" made me laugh even harder. BRILLIANT!!!!!

[ultrazero]

haha. that took me a second. I get it! Hilarious.

[htpark]

Will you be releasing version without the oddly flat-looking Jabba that Han walks over awkwardly in a 2D fashion & without that weird screaming monkey singing a Huttese BonJovi song?

I concede that this special edition does have the stronger fx - for example, the "energy ring" radiating out of the Death Star explosion was an essential element missing from the original.

Perhaps I am just being unrealistically nostalgic, but I would like to own both versions in HD.

p.s. You raped my childhood!

[BalCleric]

Fucking A!

[UberNeuman]

hahaha - that is so meta....:D

funny.

[MsGeek703]

This is full of win too.

[krylonultraflat]

Oh, ok. I get it now. Without a reference to han shooting first I didn't at first understand

[SOADfan2010]

It still says "staring" Alec Guinness rather than "starring".

[scouseladfucks]

get over yourself honey

[mumblingidiot]

That was amazing. Great remix! I laughed, alot.

People who don't get this really need to get a life.

Or.. maybe it's the other way round. Whatever.

[pfinlay]

Han stepping on/over Jabba made me laugh out loud. Nice work.

[bhilmers]

hahaha! omg that almost made me fall out of my chair! thanks for the remix!

[golfrguy87]

haha awesome.

[ssornai]

The original was a good idea. This is just some wanna be making it too busy. I think you've lost the point.

[brooksy362436]

Um.

That *is* the point.

[groovymarlin]

Dude, it's humor. It's a satire of the Lucas-approved "special editions" of the original trilogy. Get it?

[thetrickster88]

I don't get it. I thought the original was an interpretation as if Saul Bass were at the helms with the opening credits. I think its an awesome job technically to remix it, but just filling the screen more and making it more busy does nothing to add to it, really.

[danrimage]

It's a deliberate send up of George Lucas 'just filling the screen more and making it more busy ' which 'added nothing to it'. This is a clever riff on the brilliant original.

[ssornai]

I think many here are under the impression that this was the original video. And those who think this is somehow a work of genious because it plays on a vaugue reference to Lucas's re-release don't have a clue as what constitutes humour. It's like taking the riddle "Why'd the chicken cross the road?" and replacing the answer with "To get to the other side because the sky is falling!!!" Get it? Get it? ehehehehe!!! Get it? Duh!!!! Chicken Little!! Get it?

[ssornai]

Yeah, I got it. Still lame.

[lhowell2106]

Hahaha, you're retarded.

[JoeScaramanga]

pfft...

[thetrickster88]

Agreed.

[chuckyg80s]

excellent

[rwhakes]

very funny

[causticarmadillo]

Excellent pisstake!
