Star Wars- The Empire Strikes Back Trailer: 30th Anniversary (HD)

[flixiiii]

PURE EPICNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClockworkInDesign]

"There is no escape, DON'T make me destroy you." So evil, so powerful, I love this film!

[tninbredretard]

I JACKED OFF TO THIS

[DKIG88ify]

what can i say? This is pure gold! Infinity stars, man, they should use this for the 3d trailer

[ClockworkInDesign]

"The force is with you young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet." Seriously, ultra chills...

[RockenDokkenlover91]

I prefer the Original Trilogy because it has better acting than the Prequals ya!(sarcasm) I love the OT more but not because the acting is good thats a stupid reason to love them I always hear that from people. The OT has a better love story than the prequals are you gonna tell me thats the reason you watch Star Wars the love scenes?? The Prequals are enjoyable too theyre way more action packed than the OT I just don't like the Prequal characters as much as the OT or the action figures.

[leafyutube]

Is this a true story?

[dwcai81]

Can anyone tell me what the music is from?

[wiggo123]

@dwcai81

Its from a Star Trek (2009) trailer.

Trailer 3 I believe

[kopytek36]

Damn I wish I could erase IV , V and VI from my brain so I can watch them for the first time again!!!! I'd also like to erase I II and III because it would be the right thing to do.

[genemeyer408]

Dude I would literally fap myself blind if someone remade the original trilogy

[MrDestructo0000]

When I saw this trailer I was just amazed how well it was put together. I love Star Wars.

[ClockworkInDesign]

I can't wait for the day when, in 30 or 40 years time, a new director, with the skill of Ridley Scott or James Cameron re-makes the original films, and make them just as, if not more epic than they all ready are. Oh and, death to Lucas for destroying my childhood dream of becoming a Jedi with his shitty prequel trilogy ¬¬

[CROATIAMAN81]

@ClockworkInDesign But buddy he done it how he like it...and i dont think first two are great but thats he's choice and that makes him happy.He said that on interwiev

[RockenDokkenlover91]

@ClockworkInDesign I don't know if people would like it I don't think they need to remake them I think someone should make extented scenes make the Battle of Hoth bigger and wider so we can see the Snowspeeders flying for longer than 10 seconds at a time. All the battle scenes basically make them longer and more action packed without changing any faces.

[ClockworkInDesign]

@RockenDokkenlover91 Yeah I get that, but I mean waaay waaay waaay in the future, like 50 years or so.

[zzyzx0788]

Fantastic trailer

[SonOfYoungwood]

This is an awesome trailer! Surprised at how well the music fits!

[LOZmaster85RB]

what trailer is that music from? it sounds so familiar

[wiggo123]

@LOZmaster85RB

Star Trek (2009)

[XforeverlongingX]

The re-mastering is TERRIBLE. Why did they mess with the original?

[zzyzx0788]

@XforeverlongingX To be honest, out of all three of the re-masterings this was by far the best of them. You actually got to see the wampa in the cave (which to my goddam astonishment was not CGI) and they also fixed it so the hologram of the Emperor was the same actor as Jedi, and not that weird bug-eyed dude. I honestly can't think of anything that bothered me about this remastering (Cloud City looked kinda stupid at parts but thats about all). Lucas was wise to be careful with this one.

[Vameon]

Fucking epic trailer dude.

[TheStarWars9]

This is awesome trailer!! Good job! :)

[TheWitchdoctr]

Do or do not. There is no try.

[thatfilmgeekguy]

damn good job, by the way.

[thatfilmgeekguy]

i HATE those artistic arseholes who think star wars is stupid, as if they're fuckin michael bay movies. fuck OFF. empire strikes back is one of the boldest films i've ever seen and i say that not in terms of the fucking political moment when it was made but simply for the sheer filmmaking quality of it, no matter what genre or approach it is. mainstream or cult. who gives a fuck - it's the film's QUALITY that counts. this is coming from a guy who gets a lot of shit coz jaws is his favourite film

[darkmaster069]

What is the name to this song for the background

[Mrster]

@darkmaster069

Two Steps from Hell - Freedom Fighter

[atomicwave]

Best fan made trailer ever. EVER.

[sarmaxsam]

these movies are exactly the reason why i am a huge movie fan. Fucking awesome

[MrChef1980]

yet this is only one galaxy among the billions of galaxies in the universe.

[onemisterfranko]

GREAT WORK!

[DrFunk98]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooove staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarwaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaarrrrrrr's

[jwezzy7]

Always dug star wars as a kid, more I read about lucas the more I see the influence of Joe Campbell in his works. Learned a lot about campbell from this great doc called Finding Joe

[DMoneyBags69]

this is by far the most badass fanmade trailer i've ever seen. well done!

[BritishGamingNews]

what does Yoda mean by "no, there is another"?

[420dimebag]

@BritishGamingNews Seriously?!?! princess leia, Luke's sister is the other. Isn't that common knowledge?

[gmcg923]

@BritishGamingNews Yoda is referring to Luke's older brother, Bill Skywalker. Bill was shown very briefly in the original Star Wars. He was kind of a slacker. He refused to work on the moisture farms on Tatooine, and mostly just sat around and smoked pot and played video games all day. He's kind of fat and smells really bad, so naturally, Luke was the first choice.

[KRISZTINA69]

@BritishGamingNews Leia Organa (Skywalker).

[Youbian]

I don't get the end shot. how could they  be outside the galaxy looking at it?

[apollonas101]

if somebody took the prequels back to 77 the original trilogy as we know wouldn't of stood a chance with the action and the fights....we all know that

[420dimebag]

@apollonas101 The actual story and acting from the first 3> the action in the new 3 by far

[apollonas101]

@420dimebag yeah but back then it wasn't really about the acting more the special effects and space travel...and what im saying is episodes 1-2-3 smash the original trilogys with that, so what i said actually stands to reason because its true

[Maxi117KJ]

Original trilogy is the best! I want to build a time machine and watch this movie in original version from '77 in cinema! Who's with me?

[Chud1134]

I love it and DEEPLY appreciate it. The greatest film EVER made!

[Snappersthedragon88]

this is probably the best fan made trailer I've seen, also an awesome movie

[MrBoobooproductions]

Check out my channel

[ThatMovieGuy77]

Of all the Star Wars films, The Empire Strikes Back is certainly the most entertaining. Although I can watch all six unceasingly, 'Empire' is the film that draws me in the most. The entire Star Wars saga brings in some of the best storytelling, characters, and filmmaking the world has ever seen. May the force be with you... always!

[raoulhery]

@ThatMovieGuy77 seriously the prequels dont have soul!

[coolhand7479]

the music isn't john williams', or is it?

[einarssone]

Best Star Wars movie and one of the best movies of all time!

[lefthandedpath]

That trailer is our last hope. No, there is another.

[PolishCatholic1]

Is this the blu-ray edition? What an excellent quality!

[tinoman2]

GREATEST EVER!

[sheograth1]

abnormal epischer trailer ;D

[supvflash]

that is the greatest tailor i ever saw!!!

[ferrellcm]

that music could be the spongebob intro music and i would get hyped

[TheTreherne]

@devilshand222 well you're obviously to young to appreciate good films. The prequels were a yawnfest with only one good character( Darth Maul ) who never had any character development and was killed off to quickly. If you prefer heavily CGI action sequences to an actual story then thats why Hollywood churns out drivel to a generation that doesn't know any better.

[manweller1]

@TheTreherne thank you for that reply any Star Wars fan that liked the prequels must not understand the true art of moving making which is about narrative. Not loads of brainless action sequences and terrible acting.

[TheTreherne]

@manweller1 couldn't agree more! the original trilogy was far superior and had a magic and imagination that the prequels just couldn't replicate.

[Livasyandrew]

@manweller1 the first three were absolute garbage... I don't blame portman or whatever ani's actors name is for the bad acting, you wouldnt look so cool reading those shitty lines anyway. I'm only 20 and I still remember watching the first 3 star wars movies on vhs and being amazed and hooked since the age of 5. I barely remember watching the next three and I went to every first day opening for all three. It's sad man, I wish lucas would reboot the prequels.

[manweller1]

@Livasyandrew Sadly the prequels will be around forever...sadly. It could have been a classic but again George Lucas self destruct mode kicks in. I would love for Steve Jackson to take it by the scruff of the neck and re-boot it.

[bluesbrother936]

"the force is with you young skywalker, but you are not a jedi yet."

I still get goosebumps everytime i here that

[ProtossX]

He will join us

or DIE

[TheTreherne]

it is the best star wars film ever made. The prequels weren't a patch on this and quite frankly an embarasement.

[reniisgod]

Quite simply the finest Star Wars film ever to grace our screens. So much deeper and darker than any of the others (bar parts of ROTS). I know it's been said a million times but the Luke vs Vader dual is absolutely timeless, from the start to the famous line at the end of it, stunning.

[brokrishnan]

I wish I had a pet Wampa

[kassiosful]

Awesome trailer!!!!!! No there is another!!!!!! Perfect end for the trailer!!!!!!

[skywalkerjm7777]

i just loved it i hope this is the trailer thay will use in 2016 when it comes out in 3d

[juiceboxman87]

even though this was an absolute failure on all the main characters' parts, it's still the best one

[CrusaderK]

Man! Thats makes me want to watch it all over again!! Great job!!

[TOHOFIEND54]

this is awesome!

[carlosperalta69]

Chigawa!! Thanks! This is an amazing trailer!! The editing to the music is perfect and every shot and line of dialogue you used works brilliantly!!

[CROATIAMAN81]

@carlosperalta69 Chigawa the maker !!!

[VongolaAQW223]

Thumbs up if this is your favorite Star Wars movie :D

[blackrock26]

Great video.  Excellent editing. One comment though - since George didn't direct it, it's really an Irvin Kershner film - not a George Lucas film, but other than that, it was awesome

[Ben1977820]

It's not at 1,000,000,000 hits yet?

[Moviefan7359]

Excellent editing, man.

[sarmaxsam]

fucking awesome

[Josh0473]

My roommate is getting sick of how much i watch this video, lol. I always watch it with my speakers high, and he's just like ''DUDE, ENOUGH STAR WARS!!!", haha. But dude seriously, this vid should have more views, every star war fan should watch this. Amazing job.

[thekingofRIS]

@theogge96 a new hope

[theogge96]

Can somebody tell me which movie who's comes after : Star wars - REVENGE OF THE SITH?? :)

[TheStarWars9]

@theogge96 The next movie is Star Wars:Episode IV - A New Hope :)

[thekingofRIS]

Why can't all star wars movies be like the Empire Strikes Back?

[TheDrYes]

@thekingofRIS WHY CAN'T ALL MOVIES BE LIKE OR AS GOOD AS IT?!

[blackrock26]

@thekingofRIS I'll give you two words why they can't all be like Empire: GEORGE LUCAS. He knows how to create a timeless story, but he has no idea how to make a great film. Two things that he did brilliantly in The Empire Strikes Back are: 1) He didn't write the screenplay - he hired a professional science fiction writer to write it, which is why Empire is such a mature and deep film; and 2) He didn't direct it - Irvin Kirshner did an excellent job - better than George could ever do.

[thekingofRIS]

@blackrock26 Well, actually George Lucas wasn't always the problem. He did pretty much everything for A New Hope which was one of the best Star Wars movies. Even more importantly, he made the story for all of the original trilogy. Return of the Jedi was great, but not that great. The reason why the Empire Strikes back was better than a new hope was not because he sucked but because Irv was so much better. Anyway he had a divorce after the originals, thats why most of the prequels were bad

[CROATIAMAN81]

@blackrock26 I agree fully but we all know wenn comes to story making only one its best.

I just dont understand what people see in Avatar ???

[Ben1977820]

I watch this trailer about 5 times a day since I found it. Its the music that moves and makes the trailer work. Now I'm inspired to do the Jedi trailer with the music. I would like to do one with all 6 movies but the time limit of the music would cut it close. You need to do the Jedi trailer or at least revenge of the sith.

[Ben1977820]

I could watch this 50 times in a row and I wouldn't get tired of it..lol

[Ben1977820]

Great preview, keep up the good work...the only thing I would of added would of been was when Lando said "He's after someone named skywalker-show skywalker on the Tawn-Tawn." also when Yoda says "Only a fully trained jedi kinight with the force...etc." Show Luke trying to get his X-wing out of the swamp or have him doing the flip with yoda on his back." Other then that...Awesome Job!. Sorry I did production work back in the day, just my critiquing coming out.

[ABCNaccount]

This is really good!

[Scinders]

This is first class. If you're not in the business of making movie trailers then you should be-Superb! :-)

[Blackdrama20]

The music sounds familiar..somehow. You sir did a very good job!

[jlc83]

Who tracks down Han Solo and takes him to Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back?

[uremadbro]

@jlc83 Boba Fett

[TheStarWars9]

@jlc83 Boba Fett :)

[TheYates5]

Well done, sir. Well done.

[Margawrites]

Very, very good!!! congratulations!!

[MrHEC381991]

A

Irvin Kershner

Film.

[andrureb1]

I just cant stop looking this trailer :o!!!!

[ajfedderly]

@tselk5 The common term "A blank blank Film" is reserved for the director. It doesn't matter who owns the film or who wrote the film. The director guids the ship and gets that title.

[ajfedderly]

Cool trailer, but Empire is not "A George Lucas Film". In fact, he was personally less involved in the production of Empire than any of the other films. It's "An Irvin Kershner Film"

[TheStarWars9]

@ajfedderly Yeah, but George Lucas wrote the story and he's also an executive producer...Irvin Kishner was only the director of ESB :)

[Josh0473]

Dude i can't even fathom how awesome this is.

[ZachDangle]

September 16. Its all brought back. The way it was always meant to be watched>

[spartanlazy]

EPIC

[Izoul]

EPIC!

[PStewart28]

AWESOME trailer..haven't seen the old trilogy, only the prequels. Which flick is the best? OPINIONS WELCOME!

[TheFeet1974]

brilliant trailer....fantastic stuff...is this music from inception????

[SouthlandFilms]

@TheFeet1974 The name of the Track is called Freedom Fighters from the Star Trek Trailer made by" Two Steps from Hell"

[TheFeet1974]

@SouthlandFilms just downloaded it,brilliant theme music.up there with "god moving over the face of waters" from the heat soundtrack....thanks again!!

[ClockworkInDesign]

@SouthlandFilms it was originally the Mass Effect 2 theme song, but yeah it was then used in Star Trek! =]

[SteveSabbai]

...if this doesn't give you goosebumps then you are not a Star Wars fan!...

[Lexi12171]

Oh my gosh this is so amazing

[rdLee06]

Stunning trailer, good job.. Really captured the dramatic tone of the movie. Great selection of clips that work in complete harmony with the soundtrack.

[ALLNEWSUNNY]

dude........that was incredible.....you should seriously look into making trailers for a living. that was awesome and didn't give away anything without leaving out any action/excitement. 5 stars!

[yarden900]

My favorite Star Wars movie is New Hope. But still I think that this is the best of the whole series.

Also great job on the trailer, it looks really good.

[CROATIAMAN81]

CAN ANYONE HELP ?? MY FAVORITE FILM SHOULD BE : GREAT SAVING PRIVATE RYAN OR MIGHTY EMPIRE STRIKES BACK...FROM 1998 I DO DONT KNOW THE ANSWER MYSELF.... ; ( ; ( ; (

[CROATIAMAN81]

MY MUM SAID THAT WORLD IT WILL BE MORE BORING PLACE WITHOUT HOLYWOOD...HA,HA,HA BUT SURELY FINEST SW5 TRAILER I'V SEEN...

[avianajones]

what music score was used for this trailer? very nice modern concept for the trailer.

[priyonjoni]

vegas light rays effects....use the sony rays, it looks more after effects quality

[AutovoltGTS]

This is epic.

[mrestr09]

how did you mix this together did you show it to george lucas. where can i get the music of the trailer

[TheMotionMan112]

this trailer made the movie seem pretty damn epic to me when i last watched it, excellent job

[MrDougJGray]

This is an amazing trailer,excellent work,this has to be the best Fan trailer i have ever seen.

[00NeVaN00]

Damn, that's some good shit

[227060]

basically they shud use THIS as 1 of the trailer when the advertise the Empire Strikes Back in 3D in 2016 (not a 3D lover myself but just sayin). my 1 complaint u included the bit where Yoda mentioned the 'other' (Leia, its been 30 yrs i think we r beyond spoilers). it was well integrated intot he trailer and everything but were this a real movie trailer u wudda just given away a MAJOR spoiler

[Franciszek64]

Epic!!!!

[vince10nats]

wow ive been waitin for someone to make sick trailers for the final trilogy! very well done!

[wampa477]

SO WELL DONE!!!!!!!

[Retrofan]

Great job...really a good job.....but there was one small mistake. Lucas did not direct EMPIRE. You credited it as a George Lucas film. If you made it "From Executive Producer George Lucas and Director Irvin Kershner" that would sell it.

[thenewdart]

this is SOOO much better than the trailer they have. whats the name of the song?

[Retrofan]

@thenewdart "Freedom Fighters" by Two Steps From Hell. It was used in the trailer for J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK in 2009.

[SeedsofJoy]

This should have a million views.

[seanfloridayellow]

Whoa GREAT WORK, BEST STAR WARS TRAILER!

[MrSherlockWatson]

Soooooo Dude I hear that all 6 starwars movies are comin out again in 3-d. I want you to send george lucas this trailer and ask him to use it as the theatrical trailer, because this is awesome

[cadge31]

Very very nice job. Most fan trailers suck because they can't separate the dialogue from the oringinal music score, which results in a very choppy-sounding edit. You did an absolutely flawless job. Did you send this to George Lucas? It would remind him why Empire is the only installment of the Star Wars saga that can truely be considered a masterpiece.

[Zahal948]

Someone like you should have directed the Episode I-II-III, not Lucas.

congrat!!

[VinylSamuraisMusic]

Greatest movie ever made and wicked trailer mate !

[junglsolja]

epic, beautiful. gave me the chills. well done really

[horrormoviefan1000]

best trailer u made lol

[JesseJames9955]

You made this all by yourself?

That must have taken some time to create.

[linkfan160]

The music reminds me of Avatar..or something of the like. This is so epic. Truly amazing.

[kempet]

Well done Sir!

[JediMasterFisher]

Fantastic trailer!

[shannonsamuelc]

Like most, I have mixed feelings about the music since the original score really defines the films, but your choice is still dramatic and new. Overall, AWESOME remake!

[SteveSabbai]

...awesome...

[drphobias1]

Aweseome, I can't stop watching this. it's been added my large playlist of the best star wars videos here:

[RidgePR702]

Excellent job! You made the movie look fresh with your editing and music choice.

[MrBuc128]

Can't wait till May 21st this looks like a good movie

[LoveDragonDon]

:( R.I.P Irvin Kershner (Director of Empire Strikes Back) has sadly passed away!

This is an Amazing trailer!

[jorgeiramain]

recent I buy the complete restaured dvd of the return of the jedi and the audio/video quality is amazing

[Rubenazo666]

Fap, fap, fap, fap, fap...

[Tommymang]

Love your trailer ! RIP Irvin Kershner...

[CZOggy33]

@Tommymang 

[drphobias1]

Epic, indeed. Added.

[Nimanzer]

This makes me want to go and watch the film right now... Not a bad idea!

[Quarron12]

The cutting is good, but this music is too stranger. The "Empire" is only a half product without the original music.

[rapted1]

WOW!!!! Great fan trailer!!!! Well done!

[febodelenda]

Hi, nice trailer, BUT:

It's a Irvin Kershner film, not Lucas'

Italian leading newspaper la Repubblica has just reused your trailer in an article about Carrie Fisher...



[ktm8501]

who is the one fuckhead that disliked this?!

[linkfan160]

This is so epic! :O

[sideshowbobby71]

Very nice

[Patrick200717]

The trailer theme was attached to the Star Trek.
