Vader needs to take up jogging. He would save countless seconds and he would have gotten to the critical areas faster. I suggest he hire a personal trainer.
at 1:20 serious plot flaw / inconsistency - how can a fighter take out an at-at when more heavier ground based artillery can't? stop creaming your pants u dumb star wars fanboy geeks
@CutControlPunk Pretty sure the logic was that the neck area is vulnerable. Why they didn't just start shooting the neck after seeing that is a mystery.
The cinematography in 4:15 - 4:25... the duel between Luke and Vader... the Executor introduction with the Imperial March... This isn't just the best SW film. This is a masterpiece!
Thank you Irvin Kershner, you'll never be forgotten
@neeltennis93 you watch carefully,when you see the AT-AT trip and fall,there is a big gap that is exposed at the back of its neck.that is what they aim for with its blasters to finish it off.
Man, they should have had those gunners on the Death Star! Did you see how the lead AT-AT shot that speeder out of the sky? I would think that would be much harder to do than a turbolaser on the Death Star.
For some reason it reminds me of the Winter War when the Finns stopped the Russians with hundreds of ski troops in snow trenches supported by a few artillery pieces. The AT-ATs would be the Russian tanks, those T-34s that the Finns decimated in a couple of battles.
@MarciCow Yeah, it does seem like the Winter War, doesn't it? Both the Rebels at Hoth AND the Finns were up against foes with overwhelming firepower on their side and fought against impossible odds but despite losing, they both managed to bloody their respective enemies.
@MarciCow Close, although i would say the influence is WW2 but more towards Russian front against Nazi invasion. There was a Panzer commander named Hoth and Kursk was the name of a major tank battle are jst two examples. I believe Lucas was up on all this and peppered in small references into the Star Wars universe. The imperials and the AT AT's to my mind are the Nazi's and the power of their Tiger and Panzer tanks.
@TheTreecritter111 no the laser doesn't need to hit a soldier directly, just being near an energy burst of that power kills you. I guess its the equivalent of energy shrapnel.
@state135 no the X-wings had to cover the evacuating transports as they left the escaped the system past the neutralized star destroyers. The idea was to hold the imperials off, not fight them to win.
@state135 Yeah, Rigging up a smaller Ion cannon to just shut them down might have been better, like replace all those turrets with EMP systems since penetrating ATAT armor is near impossible.
4:08 , this sequence is without doubt the one that sent the most shivers down my spine. The retreat, everybody running away from huge hulking beast, and the epic music, this sense of "everything is lost" scenario, BEST FUCKING SCENE in the entire franchise.
@haghaghaghaag there should have been storm troopers running at the foot of the walkers s they got to the trenches and shot it out with fleeing rebels, that would have completed it for me.
AT-ATs would be giant coffins on a modern battlefield. They are painfully slow & immobile with limited firepower that is almost directly in front of them. If anti-tank missiles like the Javelin couldn't penetrate their armor from the top/side, you could easily hit them with a larger tank-killing missile from an aircraft. Hell, my bet is even the A-10 30mm cannon with uranium-deleted armor piercing rounds direct at the AT-AT cockpits. Instead the Republic bought worthless Snowspeeders.
@mguldin well you do know your wepons. but do remember that they got space age tec. maby they got metal strong enuff to not even get bent by materia, therefore they fire energi? and the hook from the snowspeeder is magnetick, just thinking out loud here :) and sorry for bad eng
For some reason or another, The Battle of Hoth reminds me of the Battle of the Bulge? Wierd.. Winter battle, armored vehicles, infantry, I don't know.
Makes me want to get an Alliance Cold Weather suit either way! or a Waffen SS Winter Uniform.
One of my favorites scenes from one of my favorite movies ever, also good thing I watched the original trilogy first, I don't what could have happened if I was addict to CGI, don't get me wrong I love CGI, but there's a magic in stop motion that can't get made by CGI, maybe its because all we see here is real, and everyone have a lot of hard work to make this look realistic. :D
@SuperWaveShredder I think Luke just happened to be at the right place at the right time . The AT-STs and AT-ATs would make short work of troops on foot .
love the GAY strategy, first off using fucking cables to bring down giant walking robots, despite having lasers!. then lukes amazing idea of flying HEAD ON into laser fire from a giant robot on legs that only has front facing lasers. are all jedi dickwads this gay and stupid!
Okay, does anyone know how and/or why the AT-AT blows up when it gets shot, despite their previously stating that the armor is too strong for their blasters?
@VideoMask93 Its armour was extensively damaged when it crashed to the ground. The panels were visibly broken at the seams, compromising the effectiveness of the armour. Seems reasonable enough to me.
@Spergematic Adding on to that, I asked this question somewhere else, and someone pointed out that there is a reactor right in that area. The Tibanna Gas is conducting a huge amount of energy...enough to cause an explosion? Maybe.
@Spergematic dont be gay, everyone knows that everything the empire makes has a tiny little technical flaw like a fucking HOLE that if you shoot a laser in it the whole thing blows up. i.e the death star. so naturally the AT walkers also have this achilles flaw and in this case its a little hole in its neck for the commander to slop out his shit bucket which again if you fire a laser it in the whole do-hickey blows up. its either that or george lucas is a big bearded FAG who likes plot holes.
@Spergematic and your dad being the prime example of this line. must have been a shock to find out eh? but seriously starwars is soooo gay with its plot holes. lets look at another example. for all their fucking lasers and turrets it takes one man with a laser stick to cut a hole in the AT and throw a crappy little nade inside it to do the job. LULZ fucking gay! just like the whole movie series.
@Spergematic aww chill out i'm only having a laff! but really all imperial stuff is borked their designer has a fetish for living dangerously by putting these massive flaws in the designs. watch?v=RcL6DwSufMI
@nbrado Dude, it's a children's film from 1980, not a military simulation. ;) If Lucas was going for realism, he wouldn't have had any of the spacecraft making sounds in space either. But the dumbed-down audience it's aimed at expects them to be there, so they are there, just like all cars that crash in Hollywood movies end up exploding in a ball of flame.
My favorite parts of all Star Wars movies are the fights between no-name rebel troops and Imperial Forces. I don't want to watch 2 hours of Han and Luke hamming it up
He is the only rebel pilot to fly and survive all three major engagements. In episode 4 his engine is damaged and he cannot maintain the speed in the death star trench so he disengage from attack few minuts before the death star is destroyed.
At the battle of Hoth his gunner Janson shoots down the walker with the caple. When Lukes wingman Hobby tries to do the same he is killed.
At the battle of Endor as you stated he helps destroy the death star core!
4:08 through 4:24 in my opinion remains to be the most amazing scene of the star wars franchise. The music, the angles, objects, and everything just blend so damn perfect together. Something about the Rebels retreating give me goosebumps. Anyone else feel this way?
@SynesterSeX Agreed. Even Ben Burtt's layered blaster shots — from the towers, dishes, the speeders, and the AT-AT's horns and tusks — sound like a symphony.
I've never watched a scene that portrayed a conceded military action so well. The gradual collapse of the Rebels' line is gritty without being over-violent or maudlin, showing heroism in the trenches without dissipating any tension; the movie shows us that the Alliance shall survive another day, but the evacuation costs them dearly.
@SynesterSeX the star wars series has so many iconic and memorable moments thats its difficult to choose just one. But I do agree that that is one of the best parts
@SynesterSeX Yeah, I know how you feel, it's always done the same thing for me. It seems to be something about the fact that the Rebellion stood up and battled against almost insurmountable odds when confronted by the might of the Empire, but did their best against those odds and had the humility to realize that they had no choice other than to retreat. But I'm the same as you in that every time I watch this I get a very powerful emotional reaction because this is such a brilliant film.
Ah, Han Solo stared down the mighty 501st and those clone bastards blinked, and were fried. Somewhat fitting for the man who consistently evades Boba Fett.
CGI can go get fucked for all I care. Making this movie nowadays would have led to a mediocre piece of shit instead of of this utter gem of a flick despite how many pubescent teens would climax at seeing hundreds of ships and thousands of warriors battle it out Playstation style.
I for one would rather marvel at the genius requied to create realism in physical props than computer constructs. Focusing on CGI has led to the deterioration of character devepment. Effects should be sparing.
IMO, Episode I (though the weakest of the six movies) was actually perfect as far as the special effects went: they had enough CGI to do things that they wouldn't have been able to in the eighties, but not so much that they overdosed on it (which is what they did in Episodes II and III).
CGI isn't all bad, you just need someone who knows how to use it in the right doses.
@mygoatisdead Amen! Funny you would say what you did, because it just so happens we DO have examples of CGI mediocre shit battle scenes. And they were even made by the same guy for the same film franchise. I think they call them the Prequel Trilogy.
@peterp21 Yes, it's all CGI's fault that the directors, screenwriters, and actors suck at their job these days. Through some cursed voodoo, the computers send out magical brainwaves that cause the directors to become stupid, the screenwriters to write shit, and the actors to not act. No movie before the advent of CGI was ever badly written, acted or directed.
Seriously, people, stop scapegoating and think for once.
@GoGojiraGo Indeed, the CGI-hate bandwagon is getting ridiculously full of posers... I agree that using models is very charming and looks better in some cases, but some things are such an improvement with CGI (Gollum > Yoda anyone?) and certainly not "lazy"...
I agree, and that's why I like CGI after all (even though I love Stop Motion more), and Gollum was awesome, it all depends on the writer and actors, its not like the CGI makes everyone being as a stupid as Jar Jar Binks, the CGI is not the problem, is the character itself, the bad writing.

At the battle of Hoth his gunner Janson shoots down the walker with the caple. When Lukes wingman Hobby tries to do the same he is killed.
At the battle of Endor as you stated he helps destroy the death star core!

@bluesbros30 It's Rough 2's snowspeeder that got exploded. Not Wedge.

4:08 through 4:24 in my opinion remains to be the most amazing scene of the star wars franchise. The music, the angles, objects, and everything just blend so damn perfect together. Something about the Rebels retreating give me goosebumps. Anyone else feel this way?

@SynesterSeX I've been spending the last year on a model depicting this scene. Still nowhere near finished...

@SynesterSeX Agreed. Even Ben Burtt's layered blaster shots — from the towers, dishes, the speeders, and the AT-AT's horns and tusks — sound like a symphony.
I've never watched a scene that portrayed a conceded military action so well. The gradual collapse of the Rebels' line is gritty without being over-violent or maudlin, showing heroism in the trenches without dissipating any tension; the movie shows us that the Alliance shall survive another day, but the evacuation costs them dearly.

@SynesterSeX the star wars series has so many iconic and memorable moments thats its difficult to choose just one. But I do agree that that is one of the best parts

@SynesterSeX Yeah, I know how you feel, it's always done the same thing for me. It seems to be something about the fact that the Rebellion stood up and battled against almost insurmountable odds when confronted by the might of the Empire, but did their best against those odds and had the humility to realize that they had no choice other than to retreat. But I'm the same as you in that every time I watch this I get a very powerful emotional reaction because this is such a brilliant film.

Ah, Han Solo stared down the mighty 501st and those clone bastards blinked, and were fried. Somewhat fitting for the man who consistently evades Boba Fett.

CGI can go get fucked for all I care. Making this movie nowadays would have led to a mediocre piece of shit instead of of this utter gem of a flick despite how many pubescent teens would climax at seeing hundreds of ships and thousands of warriors battle it out Playstation style.
I for one would rather marvel at the genius requied to create realism in physical props than computer constructs. Focusing on CGI has led to the deterioration of character devepment. Effects should be sparing.

@mygoatisdead
IMO, Episode I (though the weakest of the six movies) was actually perfect as far as the special effects went: they had enough CGI to do things that they wouldn't have been able to in the eighties, but not so much that they overdosed on it (which is what they did in Episodes II and III).
CGI isn't all bad, you just need someone who knows how to use it in the right doses.

@mygoatisdead Amen! Funny you would say what you did, because it just so happens we DO have examples of CGI mediocre shit battle scenes. And they were even made by the same guy for the same film franchise. I think they call them the Prequel Trilogy.
peterp21 4 months ago
@peterp21 Yes, it's all CGI's fault that the directors, screenwriters, and actors suck at their job these days. Through some cursed voodoo, the computers send out magical brainwaves that cause the directors to become stupid, the screenwriters to write shit, and the actors to not act. No movie before the advent of CGI was ever badly written, acted or directed.
Seriously, people, stop scapegoating and think for once.

@GoGojiraGo Indeed, the CGI-hate bandwagon is getting ridiculously full of posers... I agree that using models is very charming and looks better in some cases, but some things are such an improvement with CGI (Gollum > Yoda anyone?) and certainly not "lazy"...
Thebassjunk 4 months ago 2
@Thebassjunk
I agree, and that's why I like CGI after all (even though I love Stop Motion more), and Gollum was awesome, it all depends on the writer and actors, its not like the CGI makes everyone being as a stupid as Jar Jar Binks, the CGI is not the problem, is the character itself, the bad writing.
