RETURN OF THE JEDI by DAVID LYNCH?

[SuperMario16bit]

It's the Palpatine from another place!

[SuperMario16bit]

The difference is that one is a genius who's real, honest, and passionate about the quality of his films and the other is a con-man who stole ideas from those close around him. Lucas is a hack.

[TheRubberStudios]

Ah that was so funny!!!

[fschalk]

Say it to my face, chump.:)

[Foebane72]

This video fucking sucks. And so does Twin Peaks. And you too, Fschalk.

[BoredOfThisSite]

Shite.

[kromotub]

FAct: if David Lynch was approached only for the directing, actually he wasn't writing the screenplay, so, it is not how it might have turned out.

[aocidicoa]

If Lynch directed this movie, it would have been so much darker and intense. Too bad.

[BggProductions]

Fucking brilliant

[aspacelot]

haha, nice job. Though, I don't think they'd ever actually reveal who the emperor was if Lynch directed it.

[fschalk]

lovely.

Fuck you too.

[markomarovic86]

fuck you

[Johnlindsey289]

Now this would have been the strangest of the SW movies if Lynch actually directed it and it could have had Luke having a vision where he sees a samurai-like warrior approaching him on saying to kill his father.

[fschalk]

best comment EVER. You win a cherry pie slice, rabidrobbie.

[rabidrobbie]

Featuring David Lynch as Admiral Ackbar.

(High Nasally Voice): It's a trap!

[joeyboosh]

not bad for an edit dude

[ZemplinTemplar]

What gives ?! How could they have understood Palpatine, if he didn't use an antique microphone ? ;-)))

[PaintnFilm22]

good attempt is all.

[sanjuro4]

that was pretty good.

[daneoman1000]

that was mad, 5/5 well done sir, good to get a different aspect to what could have been, prefer the original tho.

[directorlog]

Thank fuk he didnt direct ROTJ. haha

[missheath000]

haha the emperor is using the Voice.

but seriously though, im going to have nightmares tonight.

[darknipple]

holy balls, biggest mindfuck ever!

[FLENNN1]

WATCH NEO VS THE SUPER BEING_NOW_

[TheEvilDeathBaby]

I love this edit! check out the video response at the bottom of this video.

[maranrolta]

That'd be great while high. Just gotta have Pink Floyd do the sound track

[desotowright]

Actually that was really accurate with his style, kudos to you.

[ruudsrightboot]

you forgot the mandatory shot of either a lamp or traffic light ;-)

[andrewmanford]

ha ha and kyle playing luke...probably henry stanton as the emperor

[frankbooth64]

A number of people have done "Lynch's ROTJ" parodies, but this is the best one I've seen so far. It's easy to armchair quarterback and say "you should have done X instead." I can think of a few myself, like an Ewok dancing to Twin Peaks music -- but that would require shooting new footage, sets, costumes, etc. This is funny, gets the point across, and doesn't drag on. Good job.

[FatMat426]

That was hysterical!

[alexisironman]

mmmmmm lynchy

[YeviGambale]

lol Twin Peaks !!!

[rootsrockriots]

Haha,If Lynch did this movie do you think Ewoks are always there?

And Bruce Lee vs Darth Vader who win the fight?

And what about King Kong vs Rancor?

[Freetreegeorge]

pretty funny

[faszika]

i love lynch but im glad he didnt direct the jedi =D

[Rodimus78]

you hate lynch but you're sad that he didn't direct the phantom menace.

-r78

[AnarchyIncProduction]

Not weird enough to be a representation of how Lynch might have done it... But it was pretty damn close :P

Darth Vader needs to be someone that only Luke can see and he has to speak in riddle and no-one can see him, but Luke.

Secondly - Dennis Hopper needs to play either the Emperor, or Vader. Doesn't matter which. If he played Vader, then Vader's mobile iron lung would come in handy for when he needs his inhalant to get off.

And finally - Yoda would secretly be a demented transsexual.

[fschalk]

yeah but it could be said that Sardauker helmets then were inspired by Samurai, all Sci Fi stuff is based on real-world concepts, to one degree or another.

In the movie, the Sardauker seem to be totally reliant on technology for their "powers", unlike the Jedi.. is this different in the book? Also, are their helmets supposed to look more Samurai like in the book?

[metafield]

jedis are rip offs from Frank Herbert's Bene Gesserit.

An obvious rip off - "the voice" lucas calls his "Jedi Mind Trick". Lame.

[Pushtrak]

@fschalk No, the Sardaukar are not reliant on technology. They are reliant on the harsh training they received on Salusa Secundus. That is what made them fierce warriors. And it is what made the Fremen of Arrakis fierce warriors also.

Fenring was agitated when the Baron Harkonnen implied he'd train an army on Arrakis because of the threat that they could offer to the Sardaukar.

What basis do you have for thinking technology was central to Sardaukar power?

[fschalk]

@Pushtrak I was referring to the Sardaukar's use of the energy weapons and the "drilling bullet" that they utilized in the movie...Now that I think of it, I am pretty sure those were David Lynch inventions and probably not in the book, correct? Anyways, that was my basis.

[Pushtrak]

@fschalk Sounds like you ought to read the books. The Frank Herbert ones. For the most part, the other ones aren't worth noticing. Especially the most recent ones. Funnily enough, the first trilogy they did was the best.

[fschalk]

@Pushtrak i read the first book about 15 years ago...its been awhile. Couldnt remember what was Herbert and what was Lynch. I remember that most of the Geidi Prime stuff in the movie was pure Lynch, the open sores on Baron Harkonnen, the heart plug, etc..

[Pushtrak]

@fschalk I really need to read the Dune books again. Have read them about 4 times so far. Been a few years since I last read them. The thing that made me realise that was that Geidi Prime as the Harkonnen homeworld didn't connect for me right away. That is surely a bad sign.

[nutherefurlong]

@fschalk They did use drilling bullets. Most people did, though, they were ways of slowing down a projectile to be able to penetrate a personal shield. Otherwise, at least in the book, they were just hardened by training and the environment they lived in, which was an Imperial prison used their secret base. Lasguns, too, are considered conventional, although everyone's scared to use them because they sorta 'splode if they hit a shield.

[stardingo747]

I believe Darth Vader's helmet, was not inspired by Samurai armor, but, in fact, Sardaukar.

I read on a Dune companion book a while back that the Sardaukar needed a breathing aparartus because of their extremely hostile-to-human-life planet in which they lived. In other words all Sardaukar sounded like Darth Vader. Lucas blatantaly stole that whole "breathing" thing from Herbert.

[stardingo747]

On other words the "Jedi" are basically Sardaukar, only without telekinesis. Oh yeah and they're good guys; in Dune the Sardaukar are evil.

[stardingo747]

In a way it makes sense;

Lucas got the idea for the "Jedi Knights" from the Sardaukar. In the "Dune" universe, the Sardaukar possessed most of the powers of the Jedi Knights from deflecting weapons fire, to moving bladed weapons with superhuman speed. The only Jedi power the Sardaukar of the Dune fiction don't have is telekinesis, that, George Lucas added.

[xhyio]

Lynch could've had Dennis Hopper as the emperor. Would've been very different.

[6wild6at6heart]

I cant stand Star Wars and have never seen one of the movies the entire way through but I would totally watch it if it was like this ;) good job.

[gex581990]

not even close

[ProjectFlashlight612]

I wish Lynch HAD said yes to doing Jedi.

Like Vincent Ward's Alien 3, it would have been weird, beautiful....and a box office dud. I don't mean to diss the dead, but even most of the actors said that Marquand was waaaaaaay out of his depth on that film. Harrison Ford said something to the effect that the guy didn't even know where to place the camera for a simple two-shot.

[14asmith]

Vincent Ward only wrote alien 3..he didnt direct it, so i think its more "David Fincher's Alien 3"

[fschalk]

offense huh? thats pretty strong. Glad I didnt post that video of me stealing candy from children..

[baldie730]

Hahahahahahahhaa!!!

[BrotherProvisional]

I take offense to the sloppy reversed vocals. In twin peaks, the actors actually spoke their lines phonologically backwards so that they would be actual language when the audio recording was reversed. This is just cheap.

[prayfertrey]

I'm rather afraid to say it, but... I like it.

[SajonTavo]

no.

[Pinkhamsterino]

he he he ... great

[ComatoseCA]

If Lynch had dir. RofJ, Luke would have realized he was in a dream and he infact was his father Vader, who then would have realized that he was a cyborg that just awoke from a coma. And Jabba was his master.

[NevenDayvid]

given lynch´s fondness for midgets, why doesn´t lucas offer him an ewok prequel trilogy???

[lgarvey]

Comedy

[tuttt99]

now it's dark...

[sophomorictrash]

I would've watched it.

[Thunderlips502]

This is.....actually brilliant. Maybe Lynch was the man for the job and I say that with no sarcasm. Well done.

[fschalk]

cool thanks..Wanna give me a job?

[hellofart16]

@Thunderlips502 Lynch is the man for any job.

[dannyboy860]

That burning hand thing is from Dune right?

[domkippy]

yes

[dannyboy860]

I have felt your gome-jabar.....now feel mine

[domkippy]

What about the gom-jabbar? :P

[dannyboy860]

nothing...I was just quoting Dune

[domkippy]

okay. Random, but okay. heheh.

[dannyboy860]

random? how is that? Were we not just speaking about dune?

[domkippy]

Yes, and I love Dune, but the quote was random.

[dannyboy860]

Ok but the scene in this video from Dune is from the part where he puts his hand in the box of pain and when he thinks to pull his hand out the reverend mother puts the Gom Gabbar at his neck.....Hence my comment,

which in fact, is undeniably relevant

[domkippy]

Yes, but "I have felt your gome-jabar.....now feel mine" is from much later in the book/film. Paul says it to the Reverend Mother at the end.

[dannyboy860]

I know, However he would never have said "I have felt your gome-jabar.....now feel mine" had the reverend mother not placed the gom jabbar at his neck when his hand in the box of pain which is a scene from this video above........am I wrong or right?

[domkippy]

Yes. But, you could have picked other quotations from THIS scene that would have been even MORE accurate. Perhaps "What is in the box? PAIN!!!"

[dannyboy860]

what you call "accurate" is subjective.

I will say this though: "it is by the juice of safu that lips aquire stains

the stains become a warning

it is by will alone I set my mind in motion"

hows that?

[domkippy]

Hey, I meant no offense, man. I swear. Please don't take it that way. Well, the mentat quote had very little to do with this too, but I don't want to start a war. :P

[HarryW1234]

lol. It's the Mentats' mantra in Dune (written by Frank Herbert, directed by David Lynch). Plagiarised by gamers, and fixated upon by...?

"It is by will alone that I set my mind in motion, it is by the juice of Sapho that the mind aquires speed, the lips become a stain, the stain becomes a warning, it is by will alone that I set my mind in motion."

I'll have a pint then. ;p

A very good version of Return of the Jedi, btw. Nice editing.

[domkippy]

:p lol

[dannyboy860]

pitiful little band

[treskall1]

I was afraid this was going to be some stupid shit, but hell... it actually looks like Star Wars directed by Lynch. Kudos!

[gburton]

UGH

[zark78]

hahaha

[VitoPossilipo]

That´s funny!!!

[zmoore83]

that was pretty good, but ya know, the emperor wouldn't have been talking backwards, first, he didn't talk backwards in the other 2(can't even remember if he was in them), but mostly cuz in twin peaks the dwarf in coopers dreams didn't actually talk backwards in the show, they just recorded it backward then played it forward. sorry for being such a nerd.

[sovjetvodka]

well that wasn't too good. no finesse, watch david lynch's a goofy movie instead. that actually has some method to it.

[zmoore83]

watch mine (david lynch's return of the jedi, festering heads)

[cydonianman]

wtf?

[phunkyboee]

hahaha. Damn. that was great :D watched it three times :P

[Hansaplast69]

If David Lynch did Episode V,

Han Solo met himself as Bladerunner.

[bauschbommelchen]

hah hah loved it

very well done

[tabooexile]

Actually, Lynch was going to direct Jedi, but from what i understand, Lucas wouldn't give him creative control, so he passed and did Dune instead.

Now, i like Dune, but i often wonder how much better Jedi would have been...

[CCPnoob]

dune was rubish - bad cutting bad acting

[jacketsfans]

Lynch would be the first to tell you he hated Dune.

[zmoore83]

your both right, but i still liked it, what can i say

[AnnexNuts]

Dune is incredibile.

[tonelocc]

you could be right, but i don't think so. i heard lynch himself on a radio show (i think it was called Madcow or something like that) saying that lucas approached him, but he turned it down and told him "this is your thing. YOU should finish it." it's possible lynch could've been lying when he said that but i doubt it b/c lynch doesn't seem to care what people think enough to lie about something like that.

[docileprimate]

I thought he turned it down and did Blue Velvet.

[newagent]

If Lynch had directed this, the Emperor would be in drag.

[absurdpersonplural]

Better. Than. Star Wars.

[XR11995]

YOU!!!

[XR11995]

what a heck was that stupidoes

[fschalk]

stupidoes? do you eat them for breakfast?

;)

[miljenko1]

I wish Lynch directed Jedi. Or at least Spielberg directed Sith.

[PrettyColours]

very funny.... you idiot

[fschalk]

thank you...you moron

[Wreeah]

Yah... strangely, that would be about it... LOL

[felicity4711]

That was a good premise with good technical execution. In terms of comedy, it felt like it needed to go somewhere, or build to a bigger payoff. But as a style parody, it was well done. :-)

[fschalk]

Thanks, Ebert. Appreciate the thumbs up.

[deadlaughter2]

Interesting but WAY over my head. However, I like both Star Wars & Dune but I must be missing something as I have no idea what's going on in this. To be fair though, that whole "the worm is the spice" crap in DUne seemed like a real cope out after all the fuss they made over it. They could have perhaps made the mysterious "connection" a bit more clever imo.

[fschalk]

I take it you are probably not that exposed to Lynch's work, which is fine, but you kind of have to be to get the jokes..

[LeDocteurLA]

hello ma parodie de Mulholland drive est disponible sur ma page big up a+

[Anarchist86ed]

Makes more sense then star wars ever did.

[othonrr]

funny

[dotman76]

good stuff!!

[Schlermie]

I am not a Wookie! I am a human being! I am a man!
