  • For a while it was Return of the Jedi, now its Empire. i hope i can find an original unaltered version of any of the first three films, without having to pay a shit load of money.

  • empire strikes back

  • STAR WARS is my fave, but EMPIRE and JEDI are both awesome too. The prequels sucked BALLS.

  • I like the Original Series more than the New series because its just nostalgia.

  • ROTJ

  • empire

  • well... know the whole series is spoiled for me. thanks a lot!! jk

  • The first Star Wars had the most heart of them all. Empire was the only one that took the material seriously and was the best made of the six. Return of the Jedi was the first SW movie I saw, so I have a soft spot for it, but it showed some of the flaws we'd later see plaguing the Prequels. Phantom Menace was a childish mess, the product of a writer/director who hadn't worked in decades and had lost touch with his roots and maybe even the human race. AOTC was unexciting and had bad dialogue...

  • @MerlinAmbrosius17

    ... and the worst on-screen romance I've possibly ever seen with zero chemistry between the actors involved in depicting said romance. Clones had some cool set pieces, but they were not the sum of their parts and the whole thing didn't hold together. Revenge of the Sith had the right tone overall, barring some stupid cartoony bits that felt wrong. It's the closest to being what the Prequels should have been like in terms of look and feel, but the characters were mostly flat.

  • Hitler- he bad

    The Covenant Prophets- they super bad

    Vader- OH CRAP!!!

  • My favorite is empire strikes back or return of the jedi I've always thought the original trilogy was far better than the prequels now don't get me wrong I enjoy the prequels for what they are and i will watch them. Now Jeremy a question for you would you ever consider seeing the original trilogy in theeaters. Im considering it because I wasn't born when those came out and that's the only reason I am considering it just to see my the originals on the big screen.

  • return of the jedi

  • My favorite Star Wars movie is actually Revenge of the Sith. Why? Because it's the most emotional of the saga, it's got a dark, intense story, and it has by far the best fights of the series. That being said, I think the other 5 are also really good in some way, and I respect your point about A New Hope (I don't mind it's current name or most of the changes), even though it's probably my second least favorite (after Return of the Jedi). But there's still a lot of things that I love about all 6.

  • bad review

  • It's not that I hate star wars, i just don't like it... Don't know why, I just don't

  • "He never had an apprentice, I don't care what this stupid cartoons say." THIS STATEMENT.

  • Well I'm off to go watch Star Wars...

  • sith

  • The only thing that I disagree with you on is the Mos Eiesly bar scene. I felt that scene was incredible, because the first time that I watched it, I had never seen so many unique and original creatures in one small area. It just blew my mind. Not talking about the "Han shot first" thing haha.

  • @supercatflub You ripped that line straght from AVGN's Star Wars movie reviews xD

  • @IngloriousBasterd96

    To be honest, I didn't even know he reviewed them until you said that haha. After watching them, it totally seems like I did haha, word for word.

  • I could fucking kiss this guy. You're right about absolutely everything including the bad decisions George Lucas has made but that he also deserves credit for making the film in the first place. Got to say though I don't think you mentioned Luke Skywalker at all? Maybe you just missed him out, anyway cheers for this, 8 minutes of pure entertainment :)

  • "I need to find the find a reason to hate all the changes." The changes are not that big of a deal.

  • @AdamaForPresident if your a hardcore fan like me then the changes are a very big deal

  • my fav. is the phantom menace, 2nd fav. is return of the jedi

  • before I watched A New Hope all of my Star Wars knowledge was from pop culture. I was super surprised that Darth Vader was actually minion and not the evil overlord i thought he was

  • @el8am he became one

  • @ttv0 oooohhhhh.... just shows how much i need to catch up.

  • @el8am after the death star blew up it killed everyone in front of him except the emperor

  • Now George lucas kicked us in the balls when he made Darth Vader scream "Noooo!!!" when he destroyed The Emperor in Return of the Jedi. >:(

  • i newer really get why does Obi-Wan disappear when he dies

  • Great review! Having seen Star Wars in 1977 at age 16 for the 1st time, it will always be 'Star Wars' to me, and then 'The Empire Strikes Back' and so on... Lucas will most likely keep second guessing himself with these "improvements" (blurgh!) until the day he goes to that great Death Star in the sky. Whatever, they're his to ruin, so have at it George. Maybe I'm too old for all the other baggage that comes with these flicks now, but the 1st 2 orig movies were great movies, and the rest..well..

  • Originals = Better story and acting... prequels = Better special affects and action. wanna have both? thats what games are for 

  • The Empire Strikes Back is the best of the six movies.

  • the prequels compared to the originals weren't as good, but the prequels compared to other trilogies are better.

  • Yeah Darth Vader had an apprentice: STARKILLER. that's quality shit.

  • is this a review or a run down of the movie?

  • The reason the Jabba scene in Star Wars blows is cuz Han treats him like a bitch. Seriously, he fucking steps on his tail.

    HE STEPS ON HIS TAIL! You can't step on Jabba's tail. He'd have his bounty hunters take you out back and break all of your limbs. that would be like stepping on a Mafia don's shoes.

    You just don't do it

  • I never gave the Jabba bit this line of reasoning. And I have to say JJ makes sense with this point. I don't really mind all the other cgi goofy Lucas-ness that was added that much cause is is the pie crust on that good Star Wars Cherry pie with ice cream awesomespectular ness.

  • Favorite Star wars... Reven- sorry revenge is "too menacing"- Return of the Jedi. Ewoks were the original Jar-Jar Binks, but they still managed to make the rest of it work and the Emperor was badass! When I saw him shoot LIGHTNING out of his fingers I pissed myself (not really but it was shocking!) then Saruman (you know, Willy Wonka's dad) had to ruin everything for us.

  • If im really honest the phantom menace was my faveourite of all films because darth maul is my fave character!!

  • his name is BEN!!!!

  • @ThePremiumGoods Who is secretly Obi-wan Kenobi.

  • I love Return of the Jedi

    

  • "What's that star?"

    "It's the Death Star."

    "What does it do?"

    "IT DOES DEATH."

  • best movie EVER!!!

  • I agree with you man on everything eccept phantom manace.

  • My favorite star wars movie of all time will always be Star Wars Episode 4.

  • to me revenge of the sith is a masterpiece.

  • The empire strikes back

  • My favorite Star Wars movie? Star Wars :)

  • Empire Strikes Back

  • I love the original trilogy, but if i had to choose one it would be The Empire strikes back

  • Did you hear about Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance? Lol! After the first, i'm gonna wait till somebody reviews it. X-0

  • Dude review Terminator 1 and 2, cuz those were the best ones

  • I finally got to see the original Star Wars...

  • You know what? I hate to admit it, but I ACTUALLY didn't sit down and enjoy these movies until all of the rest of the ones came out. Since then I've had so many occasions where I've sat down and watched all 6 movies in a row. I actually love the ENTIRE series, even the prequel. Coming from the perspective of a writer, Lucas is a genius. He truly is. I love all of these movies, however I will always love Return of the Jedi the most!!

  • I was 6 when I saw Star Wars back in 77. I saw it again after they tagged on A New Hope in 81. I could swear there were differences in those two releases. But, it could just be that I was so young when I first saw it that I am imagining things. I still have my laser disc box set of the trilogy. Need to figure out a way to convert them to DVD.

  • do one of red tails

  • Sadly, George Lucas will never release the originals in their unaltered state...because he is Stalin.

  • @ShadowGunner82 There's the 2006 Special editions that includes the original theatrical versions.

  • @Caveman2041 Ok, you got me there.

  • Welcome to youtube! Where every line! Has a new cut! And everything! Is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! EVER!

  • the only things about the prequels that were good was.... darth maul and the action. much better action and affect of coarse. but in terms of story and characters the originals were a 100 times better

  • I thought this was one worst star wars movies not to say it sucks because that's nonsense ALL STAR WARS movies are awesome its just in the same category with the Phantom Menace that the could have be better

  • @maximunoutlaw32 the prequels don't suck they are as good as the originals now GET THAT THOUGH YOUR DUMBASS SKULL YOU DUMBASS

  • star wars is soooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!! isin it no its super duper soo! awesome i give it 100 of 10

  • You use the number 151 a lot lol

  • Will you ran...I mean, review the prequels?

  • wait... i am about to buy the star wars trilogy blu-ray. It has all 3 of them on one disk (i think) is this the special edition? Because I dont want the crappy version that George lucas screwed up or whatever. I am wanting the regular trilogy, but on bluray/dvd. Is this the good or bad one? plz help

  • I dont understand y people are putting done the prequels so much. They were good movies. Yeah maybe not as solid as the originals but they were still good fun movies to watch and darth mall (don't no the spelling) and the race in the first were awesome to watch and he was cool character they weren't as good as the originals they could of done some stuff differently but they don't deserve the amount of ridicule that there're getting and besides george might not of fully written all of them but

  • DO LOTR PLEASE!!!

  • what cartoons

  • @Geeksta1998 star wars the clone wars,silly

  • Why is it that people talk shit about George Lucas unable to write PERIOD!!! Well, HE WROTE ALL THE STAR WARS FILMS AND RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK!! I think he CAN write! But, with the prequels, he's not thinking about what he writes.

  • @ComicMaster2008 Actually, George Lucas did not write Empire (check the credits he came up with the story, thats it). In Jedi there was another screenwriter along with Lucas. Yes, he did write the three prequels. He didn't write Lost Ark, he just came up with the story. The two are different things. So, there is 3 to 1 that prove to audiences that he cannot write very well, or that he just didn't care. Regardless he made millions.

  • If Anakin and Padme didn't have this cheesy romance, I might as well like II & III equally with the others.

  • Favorite star wars? Empire, obviously

  • My favorite Star Wars movie.....the original trilogy, all of them!

    Least favorite is Phantom Menace, because it sucked balls. I didn't mind the other two prequels though

  • STOP SOPA!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you for not calling it a New Hope.

    Thank you for pointing out the remasterings... just aren't as good!

    Favorite(s): Star Wars and the Empire Stikes Back.

  • I really enjoyed the prequals and am a huge fan of the star wars saga. The original trilogy is my favorite, but why do you not like the prequal. I'm curious and hope you post videos of your reviews on those as well

  • Empire seems the most intense and badass, but my favorite might just be jedi.

  • V

    VI

    IV

    III

    I

    II

  • Jeremy if you haven't seen a documentary called The People VS George Lucas, go see it, it's a pretty neat film about the fans' love-hate relationship with Lucas' decisions on remastering films.

  • Empire Strikes Back is hands-down the best Star Wars movie EVAR!!!!!!!!

  • There all awesome!

  • my favourite is ROTJ cause of the emperor. plus vader cause he was 1337

  • the best of all the star wars prequels is revenge of the sith

  • @cervantes455 Oh, yeah, you keep on truckin man

  • @cervantes455 that's like comparing vomiting to diarrhea ... they are both pretty bad

  • @helrod exacly revenge of the sith is the vomit the other 2 prequels are diarrhea and vomit is slightly better than diarrhea my point wiht the prequels

  • @cervantes455 you mean the one with the unbelievable character change of anakin from: ~i love my wife and i care for her safety. her future worries me~ to ~sure, just ask sternly and i will kill children~

  • I love all six movies, the originals are of course the best movies I have ever seen. I cannot say which is my favorite, but I do more or less prefer Empire, one word, Yoda.

  • @jbennerd20 One word about you : faggot.

  • As a kid, my favorite was Return of the Jedi, and I still love it but now that I've grown I feel that the best movie of the series is The Empire Strikes Back.

  • You should check a fanedit called Star Wars Revisited which is awesome. It fixes all of the problems from the original and the special edition.

  • @SharoonX He didnt...it was anakins

  • "Blows him away, right under the table." - this video

  • No prequels are badass. Yes Attack of the clones is shit but the rest are pretty awesome.

  • lol. It's okay to be a douch. Just as long as you grow over time. Makes sense.

  • how can you hate episode III? the lightsaber battles are awesome!

  • @THESHACKMAN22

    Yeah, the lightsaber battles in the prequels were very good. It's just that the rest of the movies sucked.

  • @THESHACKMAN22 more to a movie than special effects and action. The lightsaber battles are too choreographed and boring to be interesting. Anyone who likes the prequels is an idiot.

  • @nmoravec1 Or your just being a fan boy. Everyone knows episode I & II sucked balls but Episode III wasn't a bad film, it really added to the backstory of Vader, although it kinda messed up by killing Padme in the way they did... although I like that Vader accidently killed her.

  • whats up with obi saying never had an droid before in this movie ?? is it just another Lucas fail ?

  • You said "Obi Wan "used to be a Jed." I think he remains a Jedi but is a Jedi in exile or a Jedi in hiding. Once a Jedi, always a Jedi.

  • No. Fuck Han Solo. Annoying ass character, fuck him. Bleh.

  • @7gamex

    no, the most annoying still chewbacca

    his or its voice make me headache i wished i'm in the movie to kill and shut him up for good

  • has the original been released on dvd with no stupid edits to it

  • @canadianwarrior1995 Yes it has, believe it or not.

  • @canadianwarrior1995

    yes, the vhs version is on dvd... in Japan.

  • No mention of awesome garbage compactor scene :(

  • what planet did they get all the metal from to make the death star? like seriously it makes no sense. theyd have to get it from hundreds of planets

  • Revenge of the Sith!

  • i just had gay buttsecks

  • The original trilogy

  • NO.V is my favroite

  • 6:10

    That's probably what Emperor Palpatine was doing the entire movie.

  • watch red letter media to see how good the prequels actually are

  • the empire strikes back!

  • This review brought to you by the number 151

  • the best star wars prequel is STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i didn't know tht so many things were altered in star wars i feel robbed of the force :(

  • The unaltered original series on blu ray would be great. Plus it would be extremely successful for the studios so there's the incentive. Someday it will happen...

  • 5:24 Return of the Jedi clip :)

  • The Prequels are god awful.

  • Why does Jeremy hate the Prequels? Easy...THEY SUCK!!!

  • @maximunoutlaw32 Besides from the Episode I, I don't think they suck, they're just... okay.

  • @Gustavomazu no the second one sucks to, and the third one was okay, and plus they raped the lore

  • @maximunoutlaw32 actually i don't think that the prequels are so bad but they are horrendous movies compared to 4,5 and 6.

  • yea why you hate prequals?

  • no Jeremy... You will tell us why you don't like the Star Wars prequels... (You must obey the force)

  • How to watch Star Wars: Get the Special Edition DVD and throw away disc 1.

  • where's your lightsabor?

  • Hey Jeremy, I really like you're videos they are really funny but... Vader and the Emperor are in charge no one except the Emperor is higher than Vader. Tarkin is lower than Vader. You're vids are awesome! :D

  • Oh come on I want to know about the first 3. I laughed, I cried ( with the future Darth Vader) about spending my money and wasting my time.

  • my favourit was the empie strikes back

  • The best Star Wars prequel is still KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC!!!!!!!

  • @aquapendulum Hell yes!

  • @aquapendulum agree ppl need to stop dishing the prequels or the originals the are both great in their own rite one tells the story about how the republic become evil n the other set up on how evil was defeated. i dont give a fuck about sfx as along as it tells a good story n not over used over one in another. lucas should just tell more stories about the knight of the old republic which is the whole point of making star wars. we wanna see more true jedi not the golden boy jedi wanna be.

  • @aquapendulum Couldn't agree more. 

  • Speaking of the stupid cartoon after you finished reviewing the star wars films I'd like to see you do a review of Star Wars the clones Wars movie if you bothered to go see it.

  • jemery you say that people can be a douche as long as they grow as a character (in reference to han solo) but you didn't give a pass to the characters in attack the block who are dicks at the start of the movie and grow by the end of it. why?

  • @qwuezalothus its average not averidge learn to spell

  • In the new blu-ray cut Han Solo and Greedo shoot at THE EXACT SAME TIME. Just so you know.

  • you know why George changed his opinions about video alteration? basically, one day, he was flipping through files, and found the royalty checks for the Boba Fett action figure. and he had a conversation with his brian that went, "Hey brain, remember when we wanted to tell a good american story and be the next Francis Ford Copella, WELL FUCK THAT! I'M RICH BYOTHC!!!!!!!"

  • You should review "Star-Wars: The Force Unleashed"

  • 2:56 is the funniest George Lucas impression I've ever heard. lol

  • i might get killed for this cos i found the prequals better cos i saw them first :)

  • But it´s way more fun when you tell us about the stuff you don´t like.

  • Georgle Lucas is today Darth Moneydady.

  • This a solid, good movie, but I can't call it great. Harrison and Alec are the best actors in it. Hamill and Fisher are averidge.

  • those cartoons are canon according to george

  • I have always enjoyed the Star Wars films, but I would never say I'm a Star Wars Fan. After seeing Jeremy's passion about the film, I may need to go back and watch my old VHS tapes. They're the only "Original" Star Wars versions I have. Thank You Jeremy!

  • I loved your Lucas impression, i laughed so hard... ah.

  • the prequels rock

  • Just joking totally... I know you've got shit to do! Calm everyone!

  • It's Tuesday.... yes.. we actually are waiting.

  • it's tuesday...WHERE IS THE REVIEW

  • STAR.WARS.PWNS.

  • Great Review :D

    Can't wait for your Back to the Future review :^)

  • WHERE IS THE NEXT STAR WARS REVIEW

    

  • @CReaper210 So you don't care that that's all they had to work with back in the day, you just hate it because it looks old?

  • @Dave175 Yes. I hate movies where you can CLEARLY tell everything is fake. Might seem stupid to some people, but I just cannot watch movies like that.

  • @CReaper210 What about all the movies out nowadays where most scenes are clearly CGI, like the Transformers trilogy or Lord of the Rings?

  • @Dave175 Those movies look real so I'm fine with it. They are better than a person in a costume or even the crappy CGI we used to see. I'm still probably going to watch them, I just don't know if I will like it or not.

  • @CReaper210 What about old movies that have no CGI and are in realistic settings?

  • @Dave175 Yeah, if it's an old movie, but no CGI, I will definitely like it if it's good. Unfortunately I cannot think of a good example of one right now.

  • @Dave175

    For me the TRANSFORMERS trilogy is what many people call the STAR WARS prequel trilogy. Special effects driven, shallow, for the most part poorly acted, and juvenile and not doing justice to the original sources. The only one I had fun with was the first one, but that was only on a very superficial level.

  • @SLPIFan Okay, then what about Lord of the Rings, which had an Oscar Winning story, but had tons of fake looking CGI?
