Man, they re-used as much footage from that first movie as they could. It's funny today seeing late 1970s equipment being used to try to represent high-tech future computer and communications gear. Writing was kind of ... bad. How did Luke and Lei get to the wookie planet ? And when ? At least the remembered to make up a story for the missing trooper. (Not that it would hold up well).
Even with this fan edit, and I do appreciate the effort, I still have to ask, WTF was Lucas thinking? I've seen a few, very low budget, fan eps that weren't anywhere near this bad. I guess therein lies the rub, because in those fan eps, the intent was to actually try to do the legacy justice. Lucas just rounded up Hamill/Fischer/Ford and said "Here's a poorly thought out excuse of a script, lets see if we can cash in."
Sorry Voltar, if the ship runs aground, it is the Captain's fault, even if he is sound asleep in his bunk and there is a lieutenant at the helm. I'm guessing you have never been a corporate manager or you would know that. If your name is Lucas, and the movie/ep (whatever) starts with Lucas Film Presents, it is the responsibility of Lucas not to hand off, unsupervised, something that could affect his brand.
Sorry Voltar, but EVERYTHING in this ep is the intellectual property of George Lucas. If someone had used his characters without permission, they would be in violation of copyright law. Since Lucas didn't sue, it is obvious that he greenlit the project. You can tap dance all you want, but Watergate is the fault of Richard Nixon, the Titanic sinking is the fault of Captain Smith and Sony Betamax is the fault of Sony.
Why does Luke Skywalker look he dipped his face in Scarfaces Coke pile ? When he's talking to Chewies family at the beginning he looks Yayo'd out of his little 80's mind.
Yes, I know. I added him on purpose. The point of this was to make this look like old-school Star Wars so I thought I'd throw him the credit. You can never have enough Kenny Baker in Star Wars. :) Thanks for watching.
Someone should do this with The Mandalorian. There are things so unnecessary there like the entire episode of Ahsoka. When Mando is asking Bo Katan about where to find a Jedi, she should just react with a expression of "I know" and then CUT to when he's on Tython telling baby Yoda "the nice lady said blah blah". Half of the first episode can go aswell. And there's a lot of subplots leading nowhere.
WOW this looks amazing
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
SWHS was pre ESB, so it's interesting to see footage from the later films in it.

Voltar Go back to my post about intellectual property and tap dancing.

Kenny Baker is incorrectly credited. A radio-controlled R2 unit was used for the Special.
