What’s so special about Star Wars episodes 1-6 is that they are made by a collection of the some of the most talented artists in the industry all working under the unified vision of one man who gives them the freedom to express themselves and push themselves to the limits without being bound by the corporate greed and politics of Hollywood and big studios.
the prequel trilogy is amazing! I wish everyone would get off George Lucas' back. it's disappointing that we'll never see George Lucas' actual third trilogy. Amazing Director
I agree with you there! The Disney era films are… problematic at best. I still love all the animated stuff Dave Filoni has done and Favreau handled Mando really well. But those sequel and spin-off movies are awful Don’t even get me started on Solo
@@forrestkelly523 I'm sorry to inform you that star wars movies are only 3, and they aren't any specialized edition by a dumb director like George lucas. Only the OT lives and is canon, prequels are garbage and don't sell, sorry for your childhood kiddo. Nobody buys prequels stuff. Sequels are no better.
It is a pleasure to watch Star Wars because George Lucas cares so much about it until the very moment he has to give it up and put the film out. And even after it is out on a type of media, he still care about what he and fans might want changed. We may not like some or many of the changes he makes, but we should just be grateful that he cares to do so. Do we need those few extra animals, aliens or sounds. No, but he cares to further enlarge the world he has shown us that he is fascinated with.
Thanks for sharing. I watched Ep.2 a ton leading up to the release of 3 so it's fun to watch how it was made. It makes you appreciate all the hard work people put into entertaining us.
God damn 🥲 I'm blown to a whole another realm wow 😳 just seeing the guy talk about sound design is wild like so much trivia facts I never knew like the republic gun ship sound was wild
lol, sound designer said density, pretty much everyone on the crew must have known that this movie would be "so dense every scene has so much going on"
+odeerg You seem to either be incredibly stupid or incredibly naive. George didn't do this because he's an "artist". No, don't fool yourself with that bullshit. You actually think Lucas would come back just so he could express himself artistically? Lucas is a BUSINESSMAN. NOT an ARTIST. He marketed the films to kids (Jar Jar) because they're the easiest fucking demographic to pander to. He then crammed all the shit he could into every shot in order to make merchandise. Why do you think Sam Jackson was Mace Windu? Because he brings in the African-American demographic, he brings in the moneyyyyyyyyyy. The prequels are a soleless, by the numbers, cookie-cutter pieces of shit that was only meant to make money, not to express any vision, artistic or not. Do NOT fool yourself by corporate bullshit.
+Anime Slam You seem very passionate about this subject, but perhaps misguided. Until 2012, Lucasfilm was not a corporation, but a privately owned, independent film company. Based not out of Hollywood, but the Bay Area. The same goes for ILM, LucasArts, etc. Sam Jackson lobbied for a role in TPM. he then lobbied for his character to return and have more screen time in AOTC, and again in ROTS. He has since lobbied for a role in Ep7. He just loves Star Wars. Lucas can absolutely be considered an artist. Why else would he tale such a proactive role in filming the movies? Stephen Spielberg has said in numerous interviews that he begged Lucas(his words) to let him direct one of the prequels and George wouldn't let anyone else touch "his baby". Why would he personally proofread and edit the film Novelizations and related novels? Or why would he take such an active storytelling role in the award winning "The Clone Wars" animated series, which he gave a ridiculously high budget and paid for himself? If he's so greedy, why does he spend most of his time throughout the year sponsoring, hosting, and donating to Charities? Why did he sell his company for so much less than its value to Disney and then proceed to donate the profits entirely to the Arts?
Anime Slam, okay then, how greedy is Disney?? They played it much safer than Lucas so I mean.... They got critical aclallim and money for copying his story.
+S&S Pictures That part makes me cringe every time I watch AOTC. And now that I know how it got in the movie, I'm actually angry about it. Lucas really could've benefitted from someone saying "that idea sucks, man" every once in a while.
+kasF Yea, if people were allowed to give honest criticisms to Lucas instead of being surrounded by "yes-men" afraid/unable to say anything it'd probably have turned out for the better.
I got the triad of star wars ruining action figures. Annie, Jar-Jar, and Baby Boba Fett. Complete collection of failure. And the price hasn't gone up since 1999.--tells you how garbage these movies are.
+kasF He actually voiced a lot of critic during that private test screening of Ep1. Watch that video. Must be frustrating. Lucas is the boss. But Ben saw the flaws early on. I found Ep2 to be completely unwatchable. Terrible dialog, bad acting, AWFUL CG (looks like a video game) and Obi-wans Mullet. The only good thing about this movie is John Williams score.
kasF It's possible; but that too starts after principal photography is complete. The flaws are long baked in. Chances are though, the movies would have been even harder to sit through without Ben's involvement. Really such a tragedy though. Everybody gives their utmost effort, probably even George, but basically they can't help but bake and polish a smelly turd.
I think, as much credit as George deserves for everything, he does too much to stifle the influence of all the talented artists that worked on these movies. There's seriously so much time, effort, and skill that went into making every movie, there's no reason they should be anything less than incredible. I think he probably should have been less rigid when it comes to the creative freedom of everyone involved.
They're literally his movies, his vision, and he nudges the visual effects artists in the direction that works best for his movie. Nobody else had any right to question him, because he was the one that wrote the script and paid their salaries. If you were an architect that designed the blueprints for your own house but needed to pay people to build it, would you let a carpenter lecture you on the design that you worked years on?
Imagine having your Academy Award noted soundwork being nitpicked by a post-special-editions George Lucas... every single day. Well, the lines of zeros at the end of the checks probably compensate for that.
Lmao, the funniest thing is you pretending that Lucas never had complete creative control. It's his film, you complete bozo, he decides what the "academy award winning sound designers" do. They follow his instructions, because he's calling the shots. You must have a baffling idea of what directors do if not tell others how to bring their vision to life.
When that sound editor says “density”, methinks he’s making a pun: 1. George Lucases request to make the scene really dense 2. George Lucas being dense for wanting this.
I appreciate and admire all the hard work that went into making the prequels, and I know that these people worked their butts off, and did the best they could, but in my opinion they just tried to go too big with everything. Especially in Episodes 2 and 3. A lot of the times it's like watching a cartoon. I wish they'd tried to match them more with the look of the OT. I know these movies were made at different times, and with different technologies available at their disposal, but I'd like to at least feel like I'm watching 2 trilogies that take place in the same galaxy, and I just don't. I wish they'd tried to make the prequels in the early 90's, maybe then they would have matched more, but then again if they had they probably would have had even cheesier effects than they do now. I don't know.
+odeerg "Boring unimaginitive, uncreative corporate made movie." You summed it all up for me. As much as I dislike the very dull characters, mind boggling dialogue and lacking story within the prequels. I do admire it for its originality, unlike the Force Awakens. If only they made a movie where they kept the feels of the originals (like TFA has) and make something original with new worlds to explore and new extravagant characters.
Seeing that factory sequence as an engineer was hearbreaking. Holy crap. Whoever wrote this has never seen how a factory like that works. Or stood besides steel at that temperature.
@@ihatepewdiepie4173 you are the poor dude, he's right, the prequels trilogy is a bunch of non sense, no logic whatsoever, just pure garbage. And it's just in factories, even the military side of it, the shootings, the ideas, they're all unrealistic illogical crap, but that's the same regarding the sequels. People working in movies today don't know anything about reality and they don't want to know. Only the OT makes sense and it's canon. If you want to know how space fighting and other stuff could have been made just go watch the new top gun movie maverick.

Well said. And ep1, 2 and 3 are becoming better and better compared to the greedy and empty adaptations from the big company.
The sound in the star wars movies have never been matched in films...
Ben Burtt even has a scooter to jet around his house. Talk about living the life.

Shh!
the prequel trilogy is amazing! I wish everyone would get off George Lucas' back. it's disappointing that we'll never see George Lucas' actual third trilogy. Amazing Director

You know guy, when the creator of the franchise says its ok, take it at face value.

It's important to have a backup in case something goes wrong. Happens all the time and any complaining was in jest
really, George? "Let's add a guy that says, 'What the?' in that scene." Thats so unnecessary
