  • Star wars, the best memory of my childhood. I wish there were more episodes. :) Thanks George

  • this was so much fun to watch again! thx for sharing! :-)

  • Nothing can touch Star Wars. Nothing.

  • sold to steve jobs

  • Thanks for the upload bud

  • I don't see how they're going to make another 3 after jedi. Mark Hamill is 60, Fisher is in her 50's, I just dont see how on earth Lucas could manage that.

  • I really hope there is a sequel trilogy or at least do something with farther plaguies he sounds really bad ass the only change to the movies I'm against is replacing sabastion shaw with Hayden christiansin I liked shaw better he depicted what anakin would have looked like had not turned evil

  • ive heard lucas is going to make another 3 continuing after return of the jedi

  • @Awr002 Because the new ones are not very good?

    We do not enjoy watching them?

    They are Politics: The Movie/I LOVE YOU BITCH: The Movie/This-One-Was-Okay: The Movie?

    Eating 20-year-old bacon is still probably bad if it's not been frozen/written well by the same legendary pig?

    And so on...

  • @10000Hawks except that I enjoy the prequels... And I was born in 1991 so I grew up in the period between the two trilogies. Now as an adult, Episode 1 isn't very good, but Lucas doesn't like it much either because he needed to get all that exposition out the way, which annoyed him (listen to the Ep 2 commentary) but 2 and 3 are good and 3 has a better rating than Jedi (80% and 79% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes) so don't speak for everyone when there are those that like them.

  • I don't know why some people dont like the newer ones. It makes everything come full circle. And the amazing thing is that Lucas can tie things from a new hope into Phantom Menace or Revenge of The Sith decades later. The first three give you the story of luke and han and the rebels but the newer ones give you a background into how things got this way, how vader became vader and who Obi Wan Kenobi was and what the Jedi order was and why it is so important for luke to succeed.

  • @Awr002 I like the idea of the newer ones. I think the third one was well done. But it missed the magic of the originals, there's no question about it. As a story, okay. Emotionally? The first one was annoying, the second hardly better. The prequels had SUCH potential, and they fell short.

  • @kamwrites Oh don't get me wrong I LOVE the originals. I grew up with those and nothing beats it. I am just saying I think the new ones are great as well. I think they are all awesome and I like how it all comes together. There are no bad ones though

  • Thanks for the doc. Strong with the force it is.

  • I think the only Special Edition edit I liked was the giant room full of stormtroopers when Han is running through the Death Star screaming. I laughed at that part. The rest of the crap they added was just crap.

  • @americandodgeball They actually show the white monster on Hoth in the Empire edit, that was a pretty damn good addition. Scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. The celebration song at the end of Jedi edit was also waaaay better than the original crappy anticlimactic one. Other than that yea they were all unnecessary.

  • @americandodgeball It's a good thing Lucas didn't do this for you, then. ;) I liked seeing the changes. It doesn't detract from the original, and it's interesting to get a better idea of his initial vision.

  • @kamwrites Well, if I am a Star Wars fan and Lucas didn't do it for me, then it is most ostentatious display of self-indulgence ever. Even worse, he retroactively negates the original versions by no longer allowing them to be seen. Someone who liked the original versions could be forgiven for disliking any of the subsequent re-releases because they are NOT the same movies. George Lucas isn't a filmmaker, he's a selfish kid.

  • @americandodgeball Ah...I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were the sole measuring stick for success. My apologies.

  • @kamwrites Well, now you know and that's the important thing.

  • @kamwrites It's OK. I know you won't make the same mistake again.

  • ok... Seriously, this is a fantastic documentary. I love Star Wars in all its incarnations. I'm a child of the 90s that grew up between the clash between old trilogy vs. new trilogy because kids of the new generation love the new films, and old fans hate it but forget that they TOO were kids when they saw them and get angry that they were changed.

    I love the documentary "The People vs. George Lucas" which I thought showed how pathetic the "hardcore fanbase" is because they need to hate to love.

  • @SoraMatt Also ironic, considering the main tones of Star Wars and how hate and love is handled throughout the trilogy. You'd think the fans would understand the underlying philosophies, yet they are themselves the very thing the Star Wars universe denounces - hatred incarnate. :P

  • @Alex06CoSonic in essence, they've become the Sith Lords that hate everything new (yet will openly use it in elements like the hypocrites they are.) fitting because most roll Sith in the new release games. How hypocritical is that?

  • Comment removed

  • fuck i teared at the end

  • he has not become what he was trying to avoid. Lucasfilm is not a beverage or car company that intend to buy film studios. He built his own studios from the scratch and does only movies. The difference is that car and beverage companies had no idea of films whatsoever and that is why they made surveys back in the day. this is said in the first part.

  • 88,706 started but only 31,427 finished

  • Did I really just sit through this? Suppose it's slighty more natural than what else I do at 5am.

  • All those genius artists together, a miracle by Lucas.

  • @niklazz0n , then you are foolish and misguided.

  • Been a fan of this saga since the ripe old age of 5 when my dad took me to see this back in '77... Changed my life it did. I will FOREVER be a fan of STAR WARS and it's ENTIRE universe, old AND new... One of the fondest memories I have between me and my father. Thanks dad for introducing me to the ways of THE FORCE... R.I.P DAD, see you around someday....

  • Now they need to make a whole new one including all the newer movies

  • damn this was, and still is, a great part of me, thanks for uploading the documentary! = )

  • Just to add to my last post regarding 'The Emperor', in case I fall foul to any over-enthusiac or obsessive 'STAR WARS' fans, the answer is no, I haven't given in to the dark side!

  • Okay i've just sat through 15 segments of an overwhelming and utterly fantastic documentary which i'm sure has warmed the hearts of many of my fellow 'STAR WARS' brothers and sisters. But am I nit-picking too much if I question the exclusion of 'The Emperor' from the video in relation to mentioning an enormously important/poinant Lucas character ? Did anybody else find this a missing piece of the 'cake's icing'so to speak?

  • I don't think there's a movie (or sequence of movies) that has occupied as big a part of my life as Star Wars has. It's wonderful in a way no other film, whether greater or worse, has managed to be, before or since.

  • could you imagine if we lost lucasand the trilogy was never completed

  • Thank you for posting this --it's awesome!  :)

  • I really enjoyed this. As a young filmmaker myself, I now see the amount of potential believing in your project and standing by your vision can achieve. Thank you, George Lucas.

  • I believe in God. This is the best film. I thank God that George Lucas was born and created this movie. I also thank Jesus.

  • @Masterlink981 I thought Jehovah and his side·kick Jesus said "thou shalt not worship George Lucas and his EVIL Films'' trust me its somewhere in that science fiction book with no science called the BIBLE

  • @martin2132004 Yeah, you have an point there.... I'm not really strict on watching Star Wars. I just watch Star Wars cause I like it. Yes, I'm Catholic. What sect of Christianity are you from?

  • The theatrical trilogy was/is awesome, the prequels and special editions - not so much. The TV shows/comics/books/most of the games suck.

  • SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

  • Ewok actor smoking a cigar and Carrie Fisher sunbathing with her stunt double FTW!

  • Toy Story is a classic? Star Wars is a classic! What about Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park!

  • Watching these videos has been a journey for me!! Thanx a lot GibertFilms for letting us die hard Star Wars fans in on this epic adventure!!!

  • Thanks for uploading watched the lot need to watch these again real soon.

  • Han shoots first.

  • by the special editions does he mean the 2 disc boxsets with the new version and the original?

  • Imo the special editions PWN the original releases on the fact that the scenes are a hell lot better, and seem more realistic. Btw thanks for uploading this documentary enjoyed how star wars was made and the struggles lucas and the crew did to make episodes 4 5 and 6.

  • If the original films were the product of a meddling studio system and the new films are "what he wants to make"...

    ...THANK FUCK for the meddling studio system!

  • @matafuko No the Originals, were also the films he wanted and not the result from the medling srtudios, he just strugglered to get such deals!!!!!!!!!

  • "he fundamentally changed film-making for the better"

    and fundamentally changed Star Wars for the worse.

  • who ever is the one who disliked this video is f***ing stupid

  • 3:47 until the end, gives me spine chills.

  • Fuck avatar we need another Starwars

  • @yuyupb lmao

  • @yuyupb I agree SW is better but Avatar was cool, and Lucas actually supported it and also Cameron is a Lucas fan, Avatar was even homaged by Lucas Avatar and SW are comptitors not enemies!!!!!!!!!

  • I love how he states corporation in such a negative tone when talking about his company. His corporation is the way all corporations should be ran.

  • this is such a great documentary i LOVE it so much!!! :D <3

  • George Lucas is a fantastic man. All he went through to make these movies. He change Hollywood to the better.

  • Five Stars

  • You dont get expolsions in outer space, nor did greenwich mean-time exist, listen to the films "3min/800 years". However, i aint gona piss on Georges parade! Best story ever told!.. Better than the Bible!!! Force be with you all.

  • wow! that was one long documentary : D thanks for uploading it... got to know a lot about star wars... i've always loved it... sadly i was only born in 1995....would have been cool to be livin' in 77 watching star wars for the first time :P

  • BOOO! Special Edition

  • 1:12 aaaand we mark the beginning of the FAIL

  • as Yoda would have said: the greatest filmmaker he is.. after PJ, JJ, Del Toro and Spielberg that is..

  • Great Documentary! Thanks a bunch for the upload.

  • Thanks

  • Thank you for uploading!

  • Wow I didn't know Lucas can be credited for helping create PIXAR!

  • @InsightMediaPro yeah he's still the biggest name when it comes to special effects. Even the harry potter movies have ILM effects.

  • Oh George. It's like he got a new toy and didn't know when to say when. Peter Jackson or JJ Abrams should have done those movies... It's not because you CAN direct them that you're the right person to do it. A fantastic imagination he has... directorial talent, not so much.

  • The computer ruined Star Wars

  • @lulzoperator

    agreed ! i dont know about you but i dont like the new star wars!

  • Poor George... he got his cake and it blew up in his face...

  • I dont see how the digital reworking ruined the originals lol. I understand the greedo scene and a few others annoy some people who worshiped those movies (Even though I like some of the new scenes, and dont really care about the greedo thing) but the effects looked better in the scenes they reworked (Which werent even that many) If that ruins the film for you, then did you ever really like the movie?

  • @Mikeus2006 Jar Jar isnt in the third one lol. He is seen but not heard.

  • Great documentary, great movies, great history.

  • i love star wars and that documentary

    star wars is so awesome

  • the best movie of all time

  • The original triology is amazing.

    Too bad the three newer movies are not even close to being as good.

    Nevertheless I still have tons or respect for the man :P

  • @tgseason12 i completly agree wit u but i have to say, revenge of the sith is epic

  • @1994stones i liked all of that mans work!!!!!

  • @tgseason12 i enjoy the prequel as much as the original its the clone wars that i hate

  • @totaldrambeatles22

    "the prequel"? There are three.

  • @tgseason12 Yeah

    episode I the phantom menace

    episode II attack of the clones

    and episode III Revenge of the sith

  • "a new hope" the greatest movie of all time! : )

  • great documentary!! thanks for uploading.

  • great documentary...watch all of it and now i understand more the importance of Star Wars and its story, as well as the casting, and i now more about the films, how they were made, and the efforts that were made to make them.

    May the force be with you, always.

  • why removed?

  • The reworked digital stuff ruined the originals.

  • @eimb1999: fullack

  • and so George Lucas is Vader. quite Freudian :p

  • Excellent documentary. Thanks so much for uploading.

  • Great Upload...!!!

  • Great documentary. I would have liked to see more about Geroge Lucas' childhood. Nonetheless it was very inspiring!

  • these movies are the reason i'm studiyng film! love star wars

  • Legend....'nuff said...

  • Loved this documentary.

  • agreed

  • Hey man, All Six movies are great films, Revenge and Empire are the two best, yeah thats right, I said it.

  • Sorry but the first one still sucked the big one(the phantom menace i mean) compared to the rest of the movies.

  • Yep, still has some great scenes and characters though.

  • @JacobEliRossSC revenge sucked balls. yea thats right, i said it.

  • thanks for the doco , must have gone to see the first movie at the flics about a dozen times , great movie :)

  • So after digital world came...Lucas put some digital touch ups into the original movie? Because some parts when i watched recently, i was like no way Lucas could do it back then!

  • There was some "relaunched" version that came out in the 90s, in which some extra starships, colors, creatures and scenes were added to the film. But it is good to see both versions, I like the original very much,.

  • I wonder why lucas and his wife divorced

  • probably because he had relationship with a female Ewok lol

  • Absolutely staggering what went into these films!

  • *cries*

    THANK YOU, GEORGE LUCAS!

    STAR WAR RULEZ!

    period.

  • Thank You!  For uploading for this!

  • fuck 1 2 3 jah jah binks should never have existed. what the fuck was lucas thinking. ruined everything. but cant take anything from the first/last 3

  • @leonmcveigh stupid adult, no sense of humour

  • you, my friend, are retarded

  • no YOU are retarded

  • 8:27..man best moment of Star Wars! Love to lay between them!

  • I got a bad feeling about this

  • lol same

  • Star Wars has always been a huge part of my life ! Thanks for uploading this!

  • cant believe all this expanded universe thingy came from a simple sci-fi film of the 70's

  • I watched this in several pieces over a matter of days, and it still excites me to this day to hear the Star Wars theme song come on. This was a well made documentary. Thank you GibertFilms for showing this to the world. I had no idea this existed and never would had it not been for you. Thanks again.

  • Clap Clapity Clapper Crapper!

  • George Lucas admit's "I have become what i tried to avoid".. he says in connection at doing independent Films. Very, very interesting !

    Now did he actually had full controls making the modern episoded ? I dont feel so.. why are 50% of cgi pink ? Are these really his vision's ?

    SW is just a phenomenon interesting to explore

  • George Lucas did more than just give us a flashy sci-fi trilogy. He spear-headed a movement that would become the contemporary standard for filmmaking.

    Even the prequels can't take that away.

  • this bring tears to my eyes

  • As long as humans exist the Star Wars Universe will expand, in fact it is probably already more complex then the "real" life as we currently know it.

  • truly amazing. Thank u so much.

  • he really did created a philosophy.. genius..

  • That was great!!! Thank you very much

  • And may the force go with you!

    hahahaha

    thank you so much for uploading :D

  • Made me laugh when I first saw this.

  • @HentzDude May the Force be with you. :D Try there is no try, do or do not. There is no try! :D

  • this was an epic documentary , learnt alot, and now i found out more about the cast. thanks heaps for uploading it

  • Yeah its very informative.

  • This was just...2 and a half hours, and it's still a very short summary of the story of the greatest film the world has ever seen!

  • Thank you very much for uploading this documentary, i have been a HUGE Star Wars fan since i was a little kid, around the time of the S.W.T.:Special Edition, as soon as i seen all the action, explosions & lightsaber duels, i could not look away! watching this documentary, reminds me what an extremely great series Star Wars was, is, and will always be! again, Thank You Very Much!

    AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

  • Again, thanks you uploading this. Reminds me why I'm still a hardcore Star Wars fan.

  • Great documentary, thx for uploading it :)

    What a shame that the new generations have to learn about Star Wars' impact through the newest episodes...which were total crap.

    Keep showing the little ones the original 3!!

  • as a 19 year old kid, i never saw star wars released, and never understood its special impact, without this documentery which i saw on TV i would never have known that

  • Thanks for uploading the entire thing :) Greatly enjoyed that! :)
