  • loll at 0:20 , the guard is stuck in the tower... wait ! . What seriously he can do in case of an invasion with his spike ?!

    haha

  • ORGASM FACE 2:34

  • I always wondered why they checked in all out of order... wouldn't it be easier to go 1.2.3.4.5. etc?

  • When I've watched this, I've always understood that luke destroyed the main reactor/some sort of vital power distrubtion system inside the Death Star, and then when it trys to fire its main weapon it blows up. Its way to good timing that it explodes EXACTLY when it fires.

  • 1:28 that's what she said

  • 3:55 to 4:00 mark, NOOO BOB SAGET!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I never realized "porkers cover me" : D

  • I always wondered why the Empire only sent out SIX Tie fighters when the battle station had thousands.

  • @nathang199 Because Grand Moff Tarkin was too cocky and didn't think 30 fighters posed any threat so only Darth Vader and his elite squad of TIEs were launched

  • Okay Porkins you need to lose some weight buddy.

  • Red dead redemption standing by

  • Stabilize rear deflectors. Watch for enemy fighters.

  • Couldn't they just put some plywood over it?

  • "They came from behind!"

  • You're version is VERY clear. I think this is what must have been originally intended, but I would urge to be open minded to all the changes, and prefer none of them. May the Force be with thou.

  • @AngeloNiklis - thank you. I always felt that the space battle needed some rearranging to explain certain inconsistencies and chronology issues. I myself, would prefer the "new" special edition scenes added to the original theatrical scenes instead of the original ones just tossed aside.

  • Go Porkin go Porkins why is he die

  • Red October standing by

  • I like the voice communication. They come from H.A.M. radios. "Cover me Porkin's, I'm goin' in". My favorite line of the movie. Never, EVER, say that to your spouse!! Hahahaha...

  • Comment removed

  • Simply Red standing by.

  • My old Star Wars recorded off telly years ago - Luke says "Blast it Wedge, where are you". Makes more sense.

  • cut out way too much of Red Leader's screaming as he dies. taht's the funniest goddam part of the whole movie. He's all shitting his pants and screaming and stuff because he's scared he's giong to die. That's funny as hell, and needs to be the focal point of the battle.

  • @MikeFright 4. i think your right about 4. for 2. i meant "so you dont know if that part was even the starboard engine",not even an engine because yes it was an engine.

  • Comment removed

  • @MikeFright 3. if they analyzed the rebels attack that means the rebels did get the information about the death star that was suppose to be sent to aldrin i believe,and now the rebels know the deathstars weakness so that means they truly were indanger but tarkin thinks the death star is unstoppable even with the flaw and proceeds with the plan.

  • @MikeFright 2.darthvader shot many times before redleader even said he lost his starboard engine so you dont know if that part was even an engine. Wedge survived some shots and it looks like he was hit in the same spot as redleader so that must not have been the starboard engine.i think the starboard engine was hit but we didn't get to see it just like how we never got to see when red7,red9,and red11 were standing by.btw im not looking at your video to see the clips cause you have edited yours.

  • @MikeFright 1. You don't just send y wings into the battle field without atleast taking out some of the death stars defenses first like their fighters or turrets because even though it's a suicide mission, going in right when the battle starts would have killed them either way. see how fast the guy in the red helmet and porkins died? this is not a playground this is war, to win a battle things must be done right and planned.

  • redneck standing by

  • Sounds like the radios are using single sideband.

  • i really love this scene... but... they could have dived into the trench much later and fired their tops ! lol

  • Porkskins R.I.P.

    

  • 8:25 hahahahaha best line in history!

  • someone has trouble before even starting ! @ 1:18.. too much space tacos...

  • Here's the problem with trying to fix OT continuity: you can't with the shots you have access to, it's just impossible. No offense to those who put hard work in attempting to make it work, it's just that it doesn't. See Adywan's A New Hope Revisited for more details (although I highly advise against watching it as it's a piece of shit).

  • 16 people 's shots didnt make it in, they just impacted on the surface

  • Don't like all this reediting and Greedo shoots first crap. The added CG parts look like graphics out of a Rogue Squadron video game. The original trilogy was perfect the way it is.

  • @bruhmm when they used the term "eject" during a trench run it was their signal to get out of the trench where there was alot of anti aircraft fire.

  • @Carbonex54 - Supposedly, the cockpit of the X-wing could actually eject as a whole from the X-wing itself. Not much of an escape plan, but apparently you could survive long enough for your friends could track your location floating around in space.

  • 3:23 Did he really just say 'Eject!'?? uhh...into open space?

  • @Bruhmm2112 Perhaps he was saying Porkin's first name, Jek? The guy who already replied to you probably has a better reason lol

  • @Bruhmm2112 Yes. What, you think in a sci fi setting they wouldn't have some way to protect ejected pilots? Because they did. Even without reading the EU, you should have assumed that.

  • The original theatrical versions were ALL better than the 'remastered' piles of garbage.

  • Ironically this edited version is superior to the remastered version. Go figure.

  • I think older, less well-known actors to American audiences is part of what the prequels is missing.

  • I was watching Charles Dickens' Bleak House, a Masterpiece Theatre, and I didn't realize it, but Red 2, aka Denis Lawson, aka Wedge Antilles is one of the main characters! It took me a long time to recognize him. lol

  • This video makes me sick! I HAD A FRIEND ON THAT DEATH STAR!!!!

  • WHATS THE THING THAT VADER TURNS ON HIS STEERING WHEEL?

  • Youtube watchers!..........I'm about to press the like Button..........If any other Youtube haters hit the dislike button on this video..........I'll take them myself..........Cover me!

  • who cares about medals, its all about achievements. i want the "Used the Force" achievement!!

  • It'll be just like beggar's canyon back home

  • set up your attack run, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

    XD

  • Why didn't the Death Star just blow up the planet that was blocking the Rebel Base.

  • @baggedyman Perhaps the main laser had a recharging time on it or something like that.

  • @boettcherownzu If it blew up Yavin, the pieces would've pulverized the moon anyway as it drifted away.

  • Freakin William Hootkins. This guy is all over blockbusters: Star Wars, Flash Gordon, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Batman...Mr. Under the Radar...

  • haha I dont wanna be "that guy" but every one of the star wars videos is flawed... There could never be fire or explosions in space.

  • @snow4life987 But the movies would suck without taking a few creative liberties. So we give them a break. It's freakin' Star Wars for crying out loud! lol.

  • 6:40 I love that original 1977 shot! It's NOT CGI!

  • 6:33 More star pilots die saying that line than any other.

  • at that speed will you be able to pull out in time.. lol thats what she said

  • havent they heard of rear view mirrors?

  • 3:20 for Porkin's little problem.

  • "I'm coming, Elizabeth!!!!!!"

  • isn't it a little ironic that the fat guys name is PORKins

  • Simply Red standing by.

  • Gold leader has John Candy and Dan Aykroyd as wingmen LOL

  • personally i don't mind adding previous deleted scenes to special editions like directors cut etc, but i really don't like when they alter scenes like we see here or adding new music at the end of return of the jedi.

  • 1) At 2:38 Gold Leader says that they're starting their attack run into the target shaft but don't get into the shaft into 4:50.

    2) Vader says several TIE fighters have broken off from the main group at 3:11 but they haven't even arrived until 3:39. Was Darth Vader psychic in the sense that he knew that original group was going to die?

  • Red 6 could afford to skip a few meals.

  • @bd1965 Oh cmon he can handle it!LOL!

  • the gunships from dart vader...wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?... most annoying sound of the universe!!! goddamnid "UUURCCCHH"

  • Some possible answers to the objections?

    1: Y-wings are notoriously slow-they probably took all the time getting there.

    2: I always took it he'd taken 2 shots.

    3: The Imps might just be a little smarter than we give them credit for, hahaha.

  • SORRY all starwars fans, but in the vacuum sound doesnt exist cause of no particles to transport it :P

  • @Czapla3991

    May be in "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away" physics is different and sound exists without air particles ;).

  • @Czapla3991 perhaps there *are* gas particles, just not breathable? I mean, with all the ships and nebulae, there should be lots of gaseous residue all over

  • @Czapla3991 and thats why theyre called movies

  • Luke And Wedge are the best... for me

  • My favorite part is where they are like "All wings report in Red 10 standing by, Red 7 standing by, Red 3 standing by, Red 6 standing by, Red 9 standing by, Red 2 standing by, Red 11standing by , Red 5 standing by, Lock S-foils in attack position
  • how come Wedge is the only one smart enough to pull out of the trench before getting blasted...

  • 3:49-3:52 Look out, it's the Imperial TIE Fighters! (look out, it's the Imperial TIE Fighters!)

    I wish i could attach lyrics to all of John Williams score....

  • how was porkins supposed to eject? he's in space!

  • &vintage=1911

  • I hope someone else watched this in the 1911 version.

  • What a classic!!

  • what a classic!! Been a while since I seen it. Even with all the movies these days, this scene never gets old to me.

  • John Baird telling Stephen Harper about the Coalition Strategy....9:36...lol

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I still get shivers when they go through the "standing by" sequence, no idea why lol

  • this is one of the best sequences........side shot of Empire fighters.......switch to..5:49

  • Stay on Target (We are too close) Stay on Target! LOL

  • Aspect ratio FAIL. Everybody looks horizontally stretched.

  • "I can't SHAKE HIM!"

  • 1:28 thats what she said

  • @SuperRandomguy10 "Accelarate to attack speed." ... *moan*

  • Comment removed

  • 4:58 . .what's that funny fatty doing there ?

  • Eh, just not a big fan of the new cuts Lucas puts out. I mean why add all these noises? It seems like whenever he add a new fighter in the back ground it classes way too much with the life action stuff. Really I think the original cuts have and will continue to age well.

  • 6:40 WAIT A SECOND!

    I heard this exact phrase before from a video game but I can't remember which one :(

  • @Fetcha200 Warcraft III, I'd bet.

  • Where's red october?

  • lock s-foils in attack position. Badass

    

  • Does Darth Vader has 10 accounts?

  • 3:24 Porkins R.I.P. Did Princess Leia ever give HIM a medal?

  • @tombeecher she would have given him a Big Mac!

  • @tombeecher wouldn't fit

  • @tombeecher

    Forget him. That bitch didn't give CHEWBACCA a medal !!!!

  • @tombeecher well porkins dosent deserve a medal because he didnt sneek on a death star and rescue leia or did he lol

  • @tombeecher because he s overwheight :P

  • Ahaha.... Porkins... such an apt name...

  • Red Bull standing by

  • @D3K5N1NJ4 Big red standing by.

    Red dead redemption standing by.

    Red red wine standing by.

    Red hot chilli peppers standing by.

    That's all i got!!!!!

  • The pacing is off with a couple of the shots, but there's good consistency.

  • words cannot describe how good these movies are.... even the prequels are better then half the shit they put in theatres these days.

  • POOORRKKIINNSS!!

  • Death star? That thing's so huge and primitive.

    The PLANET BUSTER is what's in these days! Just "pew"

    and BOOM! Planet's gone!

  • 3:04 porkins?

  • It's called the battle of yavin

  • Anyone know if John Candy was Red 6???

  • At 5:10 you can hear some guy say "Red 6 can you see Red five!". Porkins is Red 6 and he died before it says this!

  • 0:55 RED SIX STANDING BY....WITH A PORK PIE....

  • hm i always wondered why Vader's Unit didn't wail on the Y-wings when they were right behind them, they're shoot lasers for f*cks sake.

  • Death star my ass, I'd like to see those losers take out DS9

  • This final Death Star battle sequence is full of sexual imagery;

    Luke flying along the trench, (vagina) in his x-wing fighter, (penis) the nose of which resembles a retracted foreskin, laser bolts firing down trench, (sperm) to hit the exhaust port, (clitoris).

  • @morval99 .....IT'S A TRAP

  • why does it need to be re-edited???????????

  • @batman2909 He explains it all in the description, Batman.

  • lock all S-Foils in attack posistion

  • i can only imagine how awesome this scene must have been to see back in the late 70's for the first time O.O

    Like my senses would have been Blown :O

    would have been thinking straight away, hands down thats the most awesome thing I've ever seen, Period.

  • @alexbaxthedarkside EXACTLY. FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW COOL THIS WAS FOR OUR PARENT'S GENERATION. I would compare it to the first time I saw the Matrix, that was mind-blowing when I was that young.

  • @alexbaxthedarkside You have no idea! I was 8 then, and the only sci fi we got up to that point was lame tv star on pullover shit with bargain basement hubcap ufo effects. This just blew an entire generation away.

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!

  • Best action sequence ever!!

  • You know, when red leader gets his engine hit, I always thought he implied he had lost one engine, then Vader hits the other side leaving the leader with nothing left to keep him up. I think that's why Lucas did it that way.

  • Very nice job! You should have created the movie.

  • very good, i liked all the changes apart from the laser firing up, as the characters did not seem anxious to be believable, only just tho.

  • 09:06

    That's what she said!

  • 3:28 "The Rebel Base will be in firing range in 7 minutes"

    Tarkin: "I say we're in range now, FIRE!"

  • this goes well wit "were not gonna take it"

  • Did anyone else notice that when the TIE fighter gets on Luke's tail and I think it's red leader who says "Red 6 can you see red 5?" then red 6 asks where red 5 aka Luke is? Red 6 is Porkins who was shot down already before the fighters even came in

  • @ussmissouri63 It's easy to believe, that, in the heat of battle, not all of the rebel pilots knew Red 6 had been killed. It's also possibility that the person asking Red 6 if he had seen Red 5, was a mistake.

    In truth, when I was re-editing this, I just couldn't separate the voice and Sound effects from the musical score that everyone in the world can recognize. It was hard enough, just to re-edit it this way without messing up the musical score.

  • this reminds of of the battle of britain with the royal airforce and the Luftwaffe :D

  • What's the name of this sound at 0:20? I have all the soundtrack of all films and dont play this shit.

  • And let's not get started on the tactical stupidity shown by both the Rebels and the Imperial Forces. Three ship formations to start with! Air forces around the world saw the fallacy of that in the early 1940s!

  • 8:49 YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

    watch?v=XeJL-hcIQTk&feature=re­lated

  • This is good but it would have been better if Porkins went on a crazy kamikaze run and took out four or five TIE fighters.

  • You cut everything out of context. "Good shooting, Wedge" and Leia's look of relief, without the part where Luke has a fighter on him?

    Ruined.

  • @moruitelda You say I took it out of context. I say that there were other heroes in that battle other than Luke, so I wanted to convey that Wedge took out one of the laser cannons and someone commended him on a job well done.  As far as Leia looking relieved, I'm sure, as a leader sending troops in on a suicide mission, she felt bad for every pilot that died as it happened. Wedge didn't die at that moment, so she felt relieved. Heck she might even known him personally.

  • freakin' awesome. i loved this. ty for posting!!

  • red 5 standing by......

  • There is science now that if fully utilized will even eclipse the imaginations of these artists. Google "Scalar Waves" and you will see hundreds of informative links.

  • I always thought this scene was how sperm try to impregnate the egg...

  • Thats what she said Red 2.

  • This sure makes for a more interesting version of the battle; but that cut footage was kinda... painful to look at compared to the current footage. Probably because of how sluggish it all was. Not to mention your cutting of some of the dialogue kinda messed up the pacing of the whole thing. Like where Luke thanks Wedge for intercepting the TIE that was on his back.

    I wonder if they'll try and do something like this for the Blu-Rays.

  • 8:25

    that's what she said

  • 0:40

    This is EPIC !!!

  • this battle is a thousand times more exciting than all the battle from Ep1-3 combined.

  • red 3 has a cool helmet

  • simply red standing by

  • Worse than Lucas's...

  • I like how the voices sound like in 2:42 for example...

  • Lock S-Foils in attack position!

  • Does Red Leader just commit suicide or something?

  • @KaitainCPS No. He already lost one of his engines, Vader shot at him and it blew out his other one--causing him to crash.

  • @FortitudeOfHeaven

    But you don't see or hear any damage from Vader firing at him in this re-edit. It looks like he evades Vader's shot but then decides to initiate a kamikaze dive.

  • @KaitainCPS Ugh. In the original 0:36 was shown as what caused Red Leader to go down. I grew up watching the original and I don't really like all the re-edited versions with more CGI and things like Greedo shooting first.

  • @KaitainCPS I mean 8:36

  • Awesome work!

  • I never knew why we see Wedge's X-wing from the TIE's perspective at 5:33.

    Cool little scene, but I can't for the life of me guess why it's there.

  • Luke, trust your feelings!

  • Could have added the Adywan scenes. The fighting would be much more longer and exciting especially when there's so many ships involved.

  • And second,I like this space battle =)

  • First,and thanks for uploaded for space scene videos =)
