the falcon was my favourite ship

[zheffner666]

fuck the prequels, no one should mention them here.

[crissrudd4554]

Uhhh I think its a bit rude to refer to the kids as amateurs

[zheffner666]

@crissrudd4554

how is it rude to call them amateurs? amateur just means they do it for fun and dont get paid to do it.

i mean it is amateur work.

[crissrudd4554]

@zheffner666 sorry i guess i was mistaken amateur with mediocre

"there are 604 blue screen shots in the empire strikes back". ugh. someone should have told that to Lucas..

[superhamzah85]

Damn.

Every single scene in the 3 original films are memorable classics!

You can feel the hard work and passion that went into them. They are almost given life by their artists and craftsmen, engineers and of course the actors and producers.

It really does make a difference. The prequels have all the elements of Star Wars, lightsabers, space battles, aliens and strange locations.

But completely lacks the unseen soul of Star Wars, made by craftsmen and artisans, not by computer science grads.

@superhamzah85

Yes, they used CGI for alot of work in the prequels, and George isnt great at directing actors(what really let the films down) - but the prequels have a lot of practical work in there. For example, The Phantom Menace had more practical shots than the original trilogy combined.

A lot of the users of the computer technology for films are not computer grads, but simply artists who can save a word document! Look up "Puppets to Pixels" from AOTC, and you'll see past the computer.^_^

@SamusDrake You should watch the red letter media reviews for the new trilogy, it'll blow your mind.

@pistonfan33

I could barely listen to the narration for 2 minutes, let alone an hour for each film review.

[pistonfan33]

@SamusDrake That, is why you fail...

LOL, even master Yoda would have said "Fuck this retarded shit" and clicked the back button repeatedly.

I remember when Mark Hamill did a spoof of this for David Letterman with Dave cracking an egg with one hand.

[gjernegan]

I love it! I remember taping this on a top loading VCR and watching everyday after school! thanks for posting this!

[TheBlitz1]

haha id like to see any movie now adays put as much effort into their film as these people did

[BigDickMcGirk]

I wonder what happened to this kids making the films? Any of them make it a career?

[boxroller5]

they don't make them like this anymore

[lookbacktime]

Amazing artistry those SFX guys achieved back then. Most of those effects still stand up today. The asteroid sequence in TESB is one of the best of all time.

[madacraiova]

incredible hard WORK!!!!!



[Totaly14]

[Capt777harris]

I remember those fan films the kids made. It's been ages since I've seen this documentary.
