Silent Star Wars

[Samio352]

It sounds like a rap song censored.

[MasterChieeff]

Ruined by the spelling mistakes and the fucking ending

[MrGraveRisen]

Still has more emotion than episodes 1 2 and 3 combined

[taffysaur]

@MrGraveRisen feel better now? *roll eyes*

anyway, great video, really captures the essence of star wars.

[merhgz]

Great work!

[alicanmacit]

240p? meh.

[jacopkane]

this is art.

[togyum]

I'm your grandpa

[ottavva]

what a splendid idea !!

[MiloDC]

SPOILERS.

[KentBrockmanVideos]

You made a big mistake here: silent films never show more than one text sign at a time.

[r7diego]

craps !!, ... sorry i have to go to change my pants, too much laugh

[ZeShroom]

"Star Wars without special effects" so now speaking is a special effect? XD actually, I guess it kind of is, isn't it...

[Kigs114123]

I love silent movies! haha i made one not to long ago it was a blast

[Calandir]

You make my day :D

[khizbu]

fajne



[Lucus148]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[ktinice]

love it !!!!

thanks

[Kalle72]

What is the filter or filmstock-overlay used? It looks pretty real.

[NeonPsychedelicRobot]

Archaic in presentation but futuristic in detail. Love it.

[bobdy2]

@AtomicBluRadioVision too true man no one likes the sound of jarjar binks and it would be funny because you could make anakins voice sound like arnold schwartznaegar ( did i spell that right :( ) in your head.

[bernatk]

Video is nice BUT waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooo many exclamation marks!!!!!!

[Abelhawk]

That was sweet! It makes you realize how much dialog movies have nowadays. Back then they probably would've had half of that.

[AtomicBluRadioVision]

I think "Phantom Menace" would have worked better as a silent film so I wouldn't have to hear Jar Jar Binks.

[LSGProdaksn034]

this was so fucking god :)))

[MrAndersohn]

Cool! Super! Perfect!

[GuidoMarc1]

Only Charlie Chaplin is missed in background...

[MrBetterNow]

TYPO AT 2:20. "Your". Thumbs up if you caught it.

[Daumex]

@MrBetterNow No thumbs up for attention whores...

[taffysaur]

@MrBetterNow hah, i wasn't even reading the words, i know the dialogue chapter + verse.

i would never have caught a typo.

[smarterthenbush]

You don't know the power of the dark silent films

[prayspot]

Brilliant

[italianscool]

That was cool.

[liewron]

Only one word .... Excelent

[Tropico212]

excellent

[wareq]

The funny thing is, the original John Williams score could cover the same ground just as well without dialogue. A lot of the movies are pretty much that way.

[C0D4REAL]

that was actually really good!!?

[aderator]

Man - that DVD release sucked balls.

[valleus]

Much much better. Bravo.

[delve202]

That... is excellent. Well done!

[EnragedSephiroth]

Oh noes spoilers!

[edgamu]

Alyssa Milano sent me here

[shoeler3519]

The moving pictures are the way of the future!

[scootcha]

The music is killer.

[AkiraPoland]

Luke is such WUSS :/

[a3s1g1]

this was amazing, if not for the "Luke, your can destroy the emperor" typo.

[peffiSC2source]

what darth vader is lukes father???

why no spoiler alert!

kidding

[Furzkampfbomber]

Luuuke, join me and my new girlfriend! Together we will rule the galaxy!

But over there are only you and my cut off hand...

Exactly, Luke!

...

...

...

NOOOOOOOOOOO! *jumps*

[GoldenSilents]

You made your print unnecessarily worn. There are a ton of old silent movies in crisp beautiful condition still.

[bugatiiman]

pleaz watch my war movie!

/watch?v=IZmiclGNu_A

[mrjshythemikec]

anyone else just watching cause the sound on your computer is broke? thumbs up if so

[elfafire7]

@mrjshythemikec yeah. I have speaker issues. I figured if there it was a silent movie, i wasn't missing out. I knew all the lines anyway.

[Radiowelle78]

Chapeau!!! I really enjoyed this masterpiece!

[billhaley1868]

lmao at the end!

[marracute]

I liked the *craps*

[idogcow]

agreed: lose the CRAPS & you have genius work here.

[macavitymacavity]

BRILLIANT!!!!!

[zerbo803]

i want a litesaber

[adri1430]

Wow! Really, really good! It made me smile every second! :=D

[nausinora]

ultra cool!

[TheMb011]

its better with the 1911 thing

[arduzrockz]

@TheMb011 what's the 1911 thing?

[TheMrdude6969]

Watching this with the Youtube 1911 option is fucking awesome.

[funkyBOBTV]

@TheMrdude6969 how you get that option

[BXSBproductions]

Love the song and video. Awesome job and May The Force Be With You. ;)

[TheEpicMusicChannel]

What year was this made?

[paradigma28]

buenisisisisimo, se llevan las palmas

[lollocartomen]

What's the name of the font you have used for this video??? It's urgent!! pleeease!

[DeLorean4]

T'as fait une superbe job avec la musique.

[DeLorean4]

Better than the original. My only complaint is that you used too many intertitles, in silent movies, sometimes entire sentences and even short conversations are left out because the viewer can suppose what is being said so as to not interrupt the action.

[TheCandyman274]

60 people don't know the power of the dark side

[petitekity]

mdrrrr



[IceZeneo]

TRop... GÉANT!!!! :D

[FATE522]

I honestly enjoy it because its got great color tones, great timing on the lines and the music is well chosen. :)

[mickey361]

Great, but with such a production, you should check for typos.

[andycadaver]

Cut out the 'craps' and it would have been perfect.

[numerocro]

great work....

[Rodanscontrails]

Fantastic



[TheRealZen00]

I love the piano music. And they're right, *Crap* ruins it.

[ford1prefect]

sacrilege or art? IT'S ART!

[Alexthegreatbelgian]

like

[echovoice]

that was very coo! I agree with MugsySkull, do all the movies this way.

[craigfromnewcastle]

"your can destroy the emperor" - eew

looks good tho

[lubayartpl]

full respect!

[akis723]

amazing!! kudos

[MugsySkull]

The whole damned Star Wars franchise should be reissued in silent film style like this video! It tells a stronger story this way, captures the narrative and acting abilities and impinges on the mind better. How movies are supposed to be made.

[km9OOO]

@MugsySkull This is a nice novelty, but the movies aren't the same without the banter between the actors, the symphonic score, and the sound effects. It wouldn't have nearly as much of an emotional impact without those things, and that's largely what made the movies so memorable.

[Grimmlor]

Loved it and craps was so funny

[xilliah]

I want to watch the entire movie like this.. I totally love it =D

[EdgarKritik]

CRAPs was LOL!!! LOVED ALL OF THIS!!

[urbinajp]

Impresionante muy impresionante pero aún no eres un jedi ! de lujo viejo buena idea

[adaxial1]

This is great.

[bdjess]

OMG xDD xx thats so well done x)) x

[DarthMorthis]

cool good job

[votblindub]

hahahahah

[rajadorayk]

Tava achando tão bacana, um negocio meio sinistro.....

ai vem o CRAPS...

mas valeu, muito bom!

( yep, in good portuguese :D )

[gotcha4000]

"You are not my father!"

"Yes I am. Lolz"

[CKnightsofni]

I would love to watch the Star Wars films as silent films.

[LuisManuelLealDias]

CRAPS was great :D, TheCodedArm has no sense of humour

[amazingdany]

As good as it is, this movie is going to get forgotten because studios are producing a lot of talking movies!

Talkies are the future of entertainment, I know it to be true.

[finkster]

@amazingdany I don't believe it. The Jazz Singer was just a fad, Talkies are nothing but a gimmick that will die off in a year.

[ZooTVaddict]

I spy a typo.

[loungelizardsss]

@ZooTVaddict YOUR

[Neurot5]

OMG spoiler alert!

[Neurot5]

OMG spoiler alert!

[Paddywack0]

Brilliantly done!

[Tajomaru]

I'd have to agree with TheCodedArm.

Also, it's PAINFULLY obvious you've never seen a real silent movie before because if you had you would've never put that many intertitles in the video. WTF was the reasoning for putting an intertitle after Luke obviously screams No!. Very, very dumb.

[anyviolet]

@Tajomaru Well.....he/she *did* have to remain faithful to the actual dialogue, which given a lot of action movies today is remarkably spare. (Vader got right to the point as usual ;) ) And I thought the intertitle of the scream was the funniest thing in the whole video. LOL!

[grayaj23]

"Craps" made the whole thing even more awesome

[Fry790]

Voted down because of "*Craps*"

[CaesarX1]

Interesting idea, but way too much text. Real silent movies had a lot more action and very little text to read. Not feeling it.

[RobertLichter]

First of all it's not Star Wars, it's Empire.

Secondly it's not without special effects at all.

Thirdly, it's awesome!

[tonazzz]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

may i know what plug-in you used for the oldstyle film effect?

[ThisTownMovie]

love it.

[jcgamer107]

LOL 0:42

[withonea]

Yea Dude! AWESOME!!!! I agree with the emblem changing to the rebel sign when luke speaks.  Makes more sense, but Awesome no matter what.

[vojtasjedyny]

Great stuff. I would change only one thing: exchange Empire's emblem to Rebellion's emblem on Luke's boards.

[theinfo]

too bad about the typo at 2:23 (your)

[stinsonjad]

Loved the sound track! how fun!

[MrMetometo]

fail

[HerbertJablonski]

they set us up the bomb

[s0l0m0nk4n3]

Simply awesome, big thumbs up for the author !

[killchain187]

If you only knew the pwer... of SPACE HERPES

[DrLSpaceman]

LUKE YOUR CAN DESTROY THE EMPEROR

[file83]

In didn't know George Lucas recycled some old movie story for his epic...oh wait...

[moonasha]

A real silent film would not have so many dialogue slides

[darkkirche]

Craps?

[TuraSatana666]

Super cool--excellent work!

[manif0ld]

Brilliantly done.

[KamenRiderNecro]

Very cool! Well done, and this lends itself to a silent film treatment. Especially the way you did up Vader. Mark Hamill's emo boy facial expressions also are very silent film-appropriate. Good job! Tres bien!

[IBetYouWillFemales]

Ha, great!

And me being a fan of silent-film, I must say the first thing I worried about from seeing the title was just a lazy B&W filter over the normal film-but NO, you did a great job of simulating the camera imperfections, and sporadic motion of the silent-film era technology! Great job! :-)

[devianaut]

beautifullly edited. kudos! <3

[RIFF0RAFF]

it would be really brilliant without "craps".

[Minimalist360]

@RIFF0RAFF indeed

[dutchblaine]

Craps does make it juvenile

[Mack6774]

Awesome! :D

[drphosferrous]

better than the origional

[deleyenda]

very good, jajajajajjaa o mejor dicho wennaaaa!!!!

[TheCodedArm]

"*CRAPS*" ruins the whole production. 

[zeparoff]

@TheCodedArm I agree

[zerfsun]

@TheCodedArm it doesn't

[TheCodedArm]

@zerfsun It does. because what we see as a stylistic approach to the Star Wars films that's nearly perfect in execution and grace is simply ruined by the juvenile *CRAPS* at the end. It renders the video as just another childish youtube joke video we've seen thousands of times before. It's no longer unique and artistic.

[zerfsun]

@TheCodedArm *craps* was the punchline. And you've got some craps in your trousers

[TheCodedArm]

@zerfsun You're an idiot.

[zerfsun]

@TheCodedArm Yes, but that doesn't make you any smarter

[Aeolis7]

@zerfsun "And you've got some craps in your trousers"

Way to be a doucebag.

[zerfsun]

@Aeolis7 "Way to be a douchebag." Fix'd.

[Minimalist360]

@TheCodedArm indeed

[mpgangle]

@TheCodedArm also a typo at 2:30 (your should be you) but I think it's really really cool.

[NIronwolf]

Would it really be as impactful if we didn't all hear the voices in our heads?

[BoomBoomCherrycherry]

Some how I knew before clicking on this video I would see epic in at least one of the "thumbs up" trending comments

[HauntingEchoesOfLost]

heh, it says, "your can destroy the emperor" :) I make that same typo all the freakin time.

[apoc1221]

EPIC!

[mortisnoctu]

@vaprsnake HAHAHA SO TRUE

[mortisnoctu]

AMAZING.

There's something surreal about silent films that makes them really intense . . .

Especially this one! Wow!

[Synlicen]

Brilliant!

[theAsgarothSin]

grandioso!

[MEGAOFTALMOS]

Mayor abstracción formal, más altura simbólica que el original.

Genial idea, genial interpretación musical y visual.

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

Do the same thing with "Back to the Future."

[jmg321]

BRILLIANT!

[dolcepeter]

genius.

[mikeyb98z]

"Luke, your can destroy the emperor, he has forseen this..."

No one ever said Darth Vader was brilliant with grammar.

[Vader47000]

Beautiful piano version of the Imperial March

[smith3451]

@Vader47000 i don't think its the imperial march.. that only gets played once through the film

[Vader47000]

@smith3451 Trust me. It's the Imperial March aka Darth Vader's Theme.

[pandasharks]

Good stuff. I notice a handful of other black & white star wars silents, but this is the only one that's done right.

The piano piece is the perfect re-interpretation of the Star Wars theme, the scratches, lighting, movement, and editing has a true silent film feel.

[trineor]

Better than the original version !!! ^^

[viciousbloodbath]

"Luke 'your' can destroy the emperor, he has foreseen this" doh! Almost flawless. I can has cheezburger...?

[GiveUp44]

Wow amazingly done!!!

[Boltgrinder]

For some reason, Darth is more persuasive in silent form. He actually makes a pretty good argument.

[masterworler]

*craps* HAHAHA really good !!!

[Spawnomite]

Star Wars sucks.

I suck, but not like this.

[alahos]

@Spawnomite Which one is the prostitute?
