The Making Of Star Wars EP3: Part 1

[GuttsyBoyVideo]

Tom3167 .... Lucas CREATED star wars

[Toni112007]

Best duel ever is in EPISODE V,When Vader approaches LUKE!!!

[CreeperArena]

E-P-I-C!

[2094matty]

you could have made this within a minute. go to hawaii and build that thing there get 2 people and glowsticks and youre good to go ;D

[veinknamjenbi]

I was totally thinking about how it was made.

[deemrey]

70441 man hours ? When did they start working ?

[R3dN3cK810]

@deemrey I think they combined everyone's work hours

[K4inan]

@deemrey 910 people... If they work for 8 days everyday, it would just take 9 - 10 days.

[Eldeecue]

Eh. Over-choreographed green screen schlock. Nice soundtrack though.

The way they're fighting makes it look like they rehearsed the whole fight before they started fighting....oh....wait...

[TheDalinkwent]

One thing that makes this fight special is how you really do feel bad for Obi-Wan. He's more confused and sadden at what's happened rather then angry or vengeful. He even blames himself for what's happening with the line "I have failed you Anakin..I have failed you". Lucas may not be the best at dialogue, but this scene was well done.

[kenanscott24]

I liked the one at the end of IV better. Between the same people, oddly enough.

[charlieiscool1000]

has anyone noticed how Rick Mcallum is always trying too sell the film or sell everything to do with it i know hes the producer but somtimes he goes OTT with it he over reacts with it too much.

[TCB123]

@charlieiscool1000 His enthusiasm is admirable, if a little overplayed. But that's also the point of this documentary: to sell the Herculean group effort that goes into making films as technically and as artistically complex as Star Wars. I know other people find it off-putting, and there is a political dimension to it, but I also like his positivity a lot.

[Freddran]

what everyone was waiting for was good story at first place.

[sexyloser1128]

The success of Star Wars was due to a collective effort that helped cover up his flaws. It seems that Lucas forgot that when making the prequels.

[Khultan]

What everyone was waiting for was a story with substance.

[TCB123]

@Khultan And that's exactly what we got. Well, it's what I got, at least. :)

[Balian49]

That fight scene was overindulgent, drawn out, and ultimately boring. Thanks George!

[StarWarsUnited123]

@Balian49 ehm no

[TCB123]

@Balian49 I like your sarcasm, actually! But I disagree. In part, anyway. It's a very indulgent fight sequence, but that adds to what's going on here, in my opinion: you have two people fighting when they really should be settling their difference another way (indeed, it should never have come to this). Look at the scenery collapsing all around them and they still trade blows. I find this sequence pretty amazing, myself.

[jayce79]

As much as I love the DVD , I really have to recomend the book even more. Great upload thax.

[Assiman]

It's nothing but special effects. Shit

[TCB123]

@Assiman LOL! This documentary -- indeed, this very piece of footage -- indicates the exact opposite. It's special AND *visual* effects, it's art direction, it's storyboarding, it's production design, it's stunts, it's choreography, it's sound design and sound mixing, it's music, and, yes, it's acting.

[nyalasteve99]

they rotoscoped the lightsabers frame by frame trough the whole movie? i tought there is an easyer way.... fuck, 6 seconds of lightsaber rotoscoping with clashes takes me 45 minutes.... : ( (

[TCB123]

@nyalasteve99 When you've got an animation team in the hundreds or thousands, rotoscoping lightsaber blades is child's play!

[jayce79]

Great DVD. I'd love too see the original cut of this movie.

[LvEternity]

awesome movie saga....my most fav. luvvvvvvvv Star Wars

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

Well, EP3 still sucked. Much less than 1 and 2 tough, but it still sucked. Lukas should have retired after The first 3 starwars movies.

[TheSubject1157]

Your cool

[MrKami96]

i don't know why, but i love making of videos.

thank you very much for this one!

[pouttuty14]

they have this on the star wars episode 3 dvd I have it!

[highbridge06]

All that work and they couldn't reproduce the intensity of the fight between Obi-wan and Darth Maul in Episode I.

[TCB123]

@highbridge06 That's true ... from a certain point of view. The lightsaber duel in TPM was a spectacular highlight in a movie full of highlights (in my opinion). Tough to reproduce that. But I don't think the intent was to reproduce it. This sequence has more painterly compositions, and, in a way, more poetry and dark beauty. Just my view.

[highbridge06]

@TCB123 Yeah, that's a good point, I didn't think of that.

[teta809]

I can't believe the director that made the original star wars made the horrible prequels-the visual went to waste, but part 3 is alright.

[frostedbuts]

All they really needed to do to make this a great movie was remove one person from the process, George Lucas

[zach22zach22]

that was only 40 sec of the duel too. the entire duel was over 8 min in length!

[TheUllalume]

Yes ... yes it is amazing to think that hundreds of people worked for a one minute scene...and for that one AWFUL scene could have been saved thousands of starving children!

[mindysuemlnh]

@kocoluchea um........... yea. WOW!

[concertchoir57]

AT 0:23 in this is originally Senator Bail Organa would ask Clone Commander Appo What's going here? Appo There's been a rebellion sir don't the situation is under control I'm sorry sir it's time for you to leave. Bail Organa then says & so it is.

[ale03000]

My goodness 910 artists to make one scene, that's what making a great movie is about :)!!!!!!!

[bewlaybrutha]

Name one great movie that required 910 artists for one scene. Not this one thats for damn sure

[twebb72]

where's jar jar?

[musk717]

I ate him :P

[philpay95]

@twebb72 he died a slow and painfull death :P

[al28283]

i thought his name was luke

[JangoFett07]

@al28283 sigh...wow. Episode I came out...how long ago? 10 years? Shouldn't the story already be apparent to you?

[viplovem]

Cant believe you people call yourself Star Wars fans.......

[musicluber09]

((())))I(((DID NOT(((KNOW ANAKIN WAS Darth Vader::::_carcasimLOL

[jedichris8]

lol

[MrRedick]

love :48-:53

[kocoluchea]

anakin and darth vader are the same person

[seannmaidment12]

really?????u have a grasp of the obvious

[kocoluchea]

i was clearing up for people like edgej91 who didnt understand the concept

[seannmaidment12]

fair enough :)

[twihartytv]

TECHNICALLY

[TriptalkGuy]

Star Wars Is An Epic Movie. Love it

[ObiRobKenobi2]

My favorite Duel of the Saga and one of the best fight sequences in movie history.

5 stars. Awesome vid.

[tom3167]

@ObiRobKenobi2 This is an awful movie, lucas ruined starwars. You're all morons.

[fencingperson]

"Within A Minute." part of the bonus feature disk of episode 3. Awesome vid.

[TalkingCardCreator]

I agree -- it's my favorite documentary of the series. Second favorite would be "The Beginning" from Episode I.

[QuiGonFan]

its called 'within a minute' but yea its awesome :)

[junoreactor05]

ILM owns

[km9OOO]

More like "The Making of One Scene from Star Wars Ep3." Nice idea, but since it was the last Star Wars movie ever, I wish they'd made a more thorough behind-the-scenes doc for the DVD.

[theBUZshow]

last movie ever? no its not! there is star wars: the clone wars which explains what happened between episode 2 and 3 so there!

[sholykurry]

i love anakin :D!

[edgej91]

Anakin?

Darth Vader fights Obi Wan, not Anakin.

[lovenarutoandeusc]

Darth vader is Anakin : S

[AznShigsta]

oh wow thats crazy loads of people

[JinKazama92]

lol actually the whole world is involved in this

[TCB123]

@JinKazama92 You got it!!

[JinKazama92]

@TCB123

yeah!! :D

[bubbaUK]

LOLOL i have always wanted to know how star wars was made......because when you see those weird creatures in star wars you sometimes wonder in what jungle did they bring them from?

[rambaran2004]

good movie, but this scene was quite forgettable, was broken up way to much w the emperor & yoda duel flipping back and fourth like most star wars final sequences, lucas should have dedicated more screen time to this MUCH anticipated duel, and yeah I know its sci fi but the whole floating on droids over the lava was sooo corny, I guess im old school. Its shoulve been more like the final fight in Crouching Tiger w the 2 chicks, No distractions just 1 on 1 swordfighting.

[TCB123]

@rambaran2004 The lava-surfing was a bit much, perhaps... but it's also soooo Lucas. And artists should be true to themselves. :)

[classical1973]

It took thousands of hours to make these movies.

It shows, because all 6 episodes are the BEST!

But I would like them to do a remake of the original trilogy, the special effects, and battle scenes are uncomparable to the prequel trilogy.

[jedichris8]

no problem!

check the "within a minute" playlist on my page to view them all easier. its all compiled there.

[isshiahluk]

thanks for the upload!

[concertchoir4]

[thebestusernameeva]

"Within a Minute" is with a doubt my favourite making of video, thanks for uploading!

[hinatachan1234]
