as a multi-disciplined designer of going-on-3-decades, i've often had conversations with both clients and friends about how, beyond just the design itself, the majority of my job often comes down to simply trying to articulate and being aware of things that most people only notice on a subconscious or unconscious level, but on the whole if not addressed, handled, or conveyed to people properly lead to, quite simply, bad design, off-putting / cheap feelings products, even if the average person can't articulate why and only feels these things once the thing is finished. these two videos do SUCH an excellent job of taking that perspective on this one movie and showing ALL the reasons things just suck and feel off / rushed / like a "poor man's" version of something (in this case, star wars) when the people making said things are just purely injecting their egos into the project and saying "look what i can do!" over and over again with zero thought given to all those things everyone is going to notice or feel unconsciously or subconsciously that give the end-product zero timeless appeal and a very cheap or outright bad feeling to it. well done. i look forward to if there's a part 3, and so far both of these videos could be a case study for any design class - though they probably won't be used for that, because most schools these days are churning out the same sort of mindless egocentric idiots that companies like disney hire to make things like the star wars sequels; extremely immature adults like JJ abrams who have been taught that simply knowing the steps of how to make something and thinking very highly of yourself in the process somehow makes you good at what you're doing no matter what. as someone who's been mostly unemployed since 2020 happened largely because so many companies simply don't hire good designers anymore, it's great to see more public backlash to products like these where people like yourself are not just saying "hey this sucks and we're sick of it" but also going through the minutia of all the reasons "this sucks" in a way that the average person can see and understand on a real fundamental level. i'm sharing this series with a bunch of friends - thanks for making it!
@@26th_Primarch that's disney thinking, a rebel spy perhaps? jokes aside, recasting is NOT a bad idea, people can and willingly accept it as long as the "replacement" is a good actor. based on what you said, id say you got the same mindset from disney from the solo movie, where after it's failure, the business suits was afraid that recasting is the path to the dark side, losing money and consumer trust. but that's just one movie, where most of it's failure attributed to terrible writers and exec interventions to dapple in nostalgia/easter egg bait, and sequel bait also being nostalgia/easter egg bait
I was willing to forgive a lot of flaws as there was still room for the plot to be genuinely good in the later films. In hindsight that was just hopium on my part, similar to how I had high hopes for the last 2 seasons of Game of Thrones before they came out
I definitely had that sinking feeling the entire time on opening night. But I had invested so much of myself into the franchise I denied how bad it was for months.
@@thesenate1844 I couldn't. It was instant for me the moment Finn started blasting other Storm Troopers or when Kylo stopped a blaster bolt in mid air or anything to do with Rey. And I was one of those people saying "Its good Disney has it now because that means more Star Wars". I had no idea how Disney could take a franchise that iconic and handle it this badly. Especially since I love the prequels and people hated on them back then.
I was cautiously optimistic going into opening night for this movie. If it wasn't for being there with my best friend I would have walked out half way through.
Not forget the unforgettable lines of Kennedy, Abrams and Simon Pegg when this movie was release: "Everyone that isn't a Original Star Wars fan is not a real Star Wars fans". You can imagine the huge backlash that they received from the rest of the Fandom, people think that are the most recent TV Shows that began the trend of simply not watching Disney Star Wars, but no, began from the beginning, Disney not expect us to watch what they do after splitting us in the face.
Fun fact: Lor San Tekka's actor, the late Max von Sydow, also plays the role of Esbern in Skyrim. This *would* have been his only role in a video game, but technically Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens came first. I like to think this doesn't count since it's just reused movie lines.
I just finished your 12 hour Phantom Menace brief review and it held my interest the whole way through. I couldn't believe it. Gave it a brief 4 hours per day and got there in a half week.
Somebody give this guy a lucrative writing job for a star wars project or any project really. I like how detailed he is and how he fixes issues with meticulous common sense alternatives. 😊
The lower set of binoculars in the quadnoculars is clearly not for visual, but olfactory data. They are not just for far-seeing, but for far-smelling as well. This is supported by the fact that some silly goose put the overhangs that would be used to block out unwanted sun glare on regular binoculars on the bottom, in order to prevent the transmitted smells from escaping.
35:47 You missed an opportunity to show the clip from Ahsoka where the ISD is opening fire at point blank range at some people riding space dogs (and somehow surviving).
37:50 I even think, this could make good action. Imagine Poe gunning down the two stormtroopers, trying to take off, when we see a misisle trooper aiming on him. We hear some warning going faster and just on the last moment Poe manages to jump out.
I genuinely believe the film wouldve turned out so much better had Rogue One come out first, that way the Disney execs wouldnt have demanded so much OT nostalgia bait in TFA since audiences would have had their fill from Rogue One, leaving the sequels free to have their own aesthetic. In hindsight, the films feel extremely corporate and designed by focus group to be as inoffensive as possible. Ships that look almost identical to old TIE and X Wings to the casual observer despite 30 years passing just feels wrong
the t-70 has always bothered me. Because they limited 2 major factors that the original X-wing design pushed with ease. 1. the split x wing design firstly allowed for expanded heat dispersal. allowing engines and weapons to run hotter for longer. 2. the split x wing design also altered the flight profile for manuvering thrusters. and allowing better control in space. The t-70 "scissor" split x wing design does both of these things worse from a strictly functional standpoint. By cutting 2/3 of each split wing in half, the heat dispersal isn't as good, and there is a less uniform area to mount manuvering thrusters. Disney also forgot that the x-wing is still fully capable of combat even with the wings in a "closed" position. and from an aerodynamic standpoint expanding and drastically altering your flight profile (in atmosphere) mere seconds before engaging in combat is not only incredibly dangerous, it could be fatal. and further again the X-wing doesn't have the expanded wing space to improve lift in comparison to the original t-65 variants. so again splitting the wings in atmosphere would likely only further reduce the fighter's flight characteristics rather than improve them. And that is assuming for the required atmospheric flight controls that would be needed for High-G menuvering in an atmosphere.
While I appreciate, as always, using what data exists in-universe to explain what is going on, I think there is a far simpler explanation as to why X-wings and TIEs exist as the standard fighters - someone said "Star Wars Branding".
It's funny that The Force Awakens is in my opinion the second best Mouse Wars movie (with rogue one a very distant first tho) goes to show that the studio is really a bunch of monkeys throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks, but have absolutely no idea why one managed to stick
Ashes of the Empire would have been a better title for this movie...assuming they focused on...I dunno...the First Order actually rising instead of just appearing without any resistance. That might have been too interesting of a plot though.
But that would mean doing hard work and actually doing world building, like how is the state of the Republic, who is the Chancellor, where is the capital, who is supporting the First Order, giving them weapons and ships, the Sequel Trilogy Galaxy is completely barren, there is no world building in the galaxy or the factions.
They completely forgot about gravity wells preventing hyperspace jumps. Even in the new EA Star Wars game, Jedi Survivor, the protagonist jumps to hyperspace directly from the surface of Coruscant.
My initial reaction to the Force Awakens was: Mediocre. It was passable as a "movie" but horrible as a "Star Wars". And that was when I still agreed fully with the Plinkett reviews.
Blows my mind how they even made these films just eye candy haha cgi and space battles looks cool to look at story and everything that’s happened off screen between ROTJ and TFA makes no sense to me how imperial remnants could be left to fester and Luke completely failing as a Jedi is so crazy to me they obviously didn’t wanna make their own film or anything unique at all just wanted to make a new hope 2
54:38 I think a perfectly good explanation would be species accessibility. Instead of selling multiple different models to account for different eye counts and/or pupilary distances, you pack most orientations into a single device. If your eyes are farther apart than a human's, you use the wider set of lenses, if you have 4 eyes, then you can use all 4. Problem is they _only_ ever show humans using them, so that probably wasn't on their mind at all.
@@histguy101 quad nods, as brought up in the video, have 4 lenses because 2 are for perfieral vision and thus face not directly forward. quadnocs make no sense as they are presneted in star wars as they are 4 lenses faceing the same direction for characters with only 2 eyes.
I think it was a good choice to hold off on TFA and branch out and cover things the BC crew actually enjoys. We got a very brief video on the TPM and a long video on a video game I've never played.
Firstly, I appreciate the communication of what your future video plans are for this series and others! I'm excited for whichever comes out next! But about the actual video: I used to think these movies were good, not great. I'll be honest, I think I watched the sequel trilogy before fully sitting down to watch the OT and prequels fully, and most of my knowledge about those came from playing the lego games a million times as a kid. I, like everyone else, ignored the red flags and was hopeful for the future, I even said to my parents that The Rise of Skywalker was my favorite Star Wars movie right after watching it. I look back on that memory with embarrassment for my lack of taste, as after finally deciding to watch the prequels and OT in a marathon, I realized just how wrong I was, and about the fact that everything I didn't like about the sequels was absent from every single one of them. The biggest gripe was definitely Rey, and how she's just perfect with absolutely 0 formal training, watching luke go from a normal guy to the Empire's biggest threat over 3 whole movies was so much more satisfying.
I think there is one more good reason for the Black and Organe Paint job on the T70 It makes him stand out and being such a fierce and good pilot this could have a demoralizing effect on the enemy combatants. They see a Black X wing at the head of a Squad, "Oh darn it, this is going to be bad for us" since he cant hide from machines anywys, mkaing people keenly aware of his present is not a downside.
Noice!!! Glad to see this series continued! Need me some bashing of the people who killed my favorite franchise every now and then! Keep up the great work!
The Force Awakens is Star Wars made by people who vaguely know what Star Wars. They know what a lightsaber and a stormtrooper is. They also know that Star Wars makes a lot of money. There probably were some real fans working in the prop and costume departments, but you can tell the writing team was heavily dictated by Disney. Older LucasArts games (which were not written directly by George Lucas) feel more like Star Wars than TFA. Games such as KOTOR, Rogue Squadron, Dark Forces or Bounty Hunter feel like they were written and developed by people with completely different priorities to the team who made TFA.
It baffles me no end that Disney already had a plethora of content to use in a sequel trilogy. Is it all perfect? God no, but much of it was at least consistent with what we'd seen. Would've killed to see some of the lore following brought to the big screen. I think what might actually confuse me more than that is Disney's inconsistencies. You have genuinely good Star Wars, IMO, like Andor, Rogue One and Mando S1. The first two are, in my opinion, on par with the absolute best of Star Wars. Then you have, well... Just about everything else. I suppose I couldn't do a better job, I'd probably want to put too much in and it would all get lost in the weeds.
I disagree for Rogue One and Mando S1. Haven't seen Andor. I think its the sheer volume of crap that makes you think basic competence is greatness. I agree that those are the best of Disney wars but its only as good as Ep 2 rather than the best of the series
@CosmicFreedoms yeah? Fair enough, man. I'd certainly give Andor a shot, by far the "smartest" Star Wars has been IMO. That being said, if we don't agree on the other two, then I suspect it'll taint my suggestion. But in that instance I'd say it seemed pretty well received when it released.
35:00 When you said that I immediately imagined a stormtrooper throwing a red ball at the X wing that sends a beacon into the sky. Requesting orbital strike
I think luke's binocular numbers refer to a level reading, seeing as that first panning shot was taken at roughly level, but then I think they just reused the assets they already had in the scene with the tuscan raiders even though it is pointed at a slight downward angle. And for some reason if you go at all below the horizon it changes to -9999 and then continues to descend as you lower your gaze. Potentially it could also be a roll reading, where perfectly upright is 0 and as you roll the binoculars to the right the number goes up, and as you roll it to the left it changes to -9999 and then as you continue it approaches 0. And this at least is consistent with the fact that the roll of the binoculars is relatively stable in both shots.
The main issue I have with Disney nuX-Wings is that it wasn't a bew design in any fashion. It was a recycled from Mcquarrie's original paintings. Disney loved to reuse rather than make something new and original.
If you point a rangefinder into the sky you get a range of null. It would have been so easy for them to flicker between ~900m and 000 in that scene, but that would be good film making.
more like 50 years old. however its a post-dog fight aircraft, being in the missile age it is servicable as a weapons platform especially with upgrades. and it is used in a relatively peaceful era where dirrect greatpower conflict does not happen. for gun fights, like star wars, between major powers however its wowfully obsolete, and wouldn't still be used (atleast as a fighter) if those kinds of fights were anywhere near common.
There is a timeline where Star Wars never had a sequel amd was forever a standalone title. It is fondly remembered as a 70s cult classic but not the pop culture behemoth we know, instead a Dune adaption or a much earlier Lord of the Rings trilogy takes its place
Its not my birthday, why is TH-cam being so good to me? Whats that, its not yt, its actually the wonderful people who make videos, and nothing to do with google at all? 😱
yeah tfa does have some nods to the prequles, for intance when poe and finn try to escape, they are gettinh harrased by a tracking tropedo like in episode 3. And hux also mentions clones
In response to hans blaster vs the E-11, ever notice how it blasts craters out of the hanger behind the storm troopers? No other blaster does that till sequal chewbacca bowcaster

It baffles me no end that Disney already had a plethora of content to use in a sequel trilogy. Is it all perfect? God no, but much of it was at least consistent with what we'd seen.
Would've killed to see some of the lore following brought to the big screen.
I think what might actually confuse me more than that is Disney's inconsistencies.
You have genuinely good Star Wars, IMO, like Andor, Rogue One and Mando S1. The first two are, in my opinion, on par with the absolute best of Star Wars.
Then you have, well... Just about everything else.
I suppose I couldn't do a better job, I'd probably want to put too much in and it would all get lost in the weeds.
I disagree for Rogue One and Mando S1. Haven't seen Andor. I think its the sheer volume of crap that makes you think basic competence is greatness. I agree that those are the best of Disney wars but its only as good as Ep 2 rather than the best of the series
@CosmicFreedoms yeah? Fair enough, man. I'd certainly give Andor a shot, by far the "smartest" Star Wars has been IMO.
That being said, if we don't agree on the other two, then I suspect it'll taint my suggestion.
But in that instance I'd say it seemed pretty well received when it released.
I personally very much enjoyed the bad batch, it was as good or better than mando s1 imo
Now THIS is an unexpected surprise!
Damn keep them uploads rolling!

When you said that I immediately imagined a stormtrooper throwing a red ball at the X wing that sends a beacon into the sky.

The best toilet review i ever saw
9:44 Could have added Thornton Melon from Back to School, "First you have to grease the local politician for the zone rights..."
41:12 well, didn't stop me from taking Polis Massa by myself in Battlefront 2.
A Hutt in the desert.
I watched the first part again yesterday and thought "wait where's part two". Thank you mister "the based circus"
Say what you will about Disney, but they did put some thought into the ingress-egress ladders.
I think luke's binocular numbers refer to a level reading, seeing as that first panning shot was taken at roughly level, but then I think they just reused the assets they already had in the scene with the tuscan raiders even though it is pointed at a slight downward angle. And for some reason if you go at all below the horizon it changes to -9999 and then continues to descend as you lower your gaze.
Potentially it could also be a roll reading, where perfectly upright is 0 and as you roll the binoculars to the right the number goes up, and as you roll it to the left it changes to -9999 and then as you continue it approaches 0. And this at least is consistent with the fact that the roll of the binoculars is relatively stable in both shots.
The main issue I have with Disney nuX-Wings is that it wasn't a bew design in any fashion. It was a recycled from Mcquarrie's original paintings. Disney loved to reuse rather than make something new and original.
If you point a rangefinder into the sky you get a range of null. It would have been so easy for them to flicker between ~900m and 000 in that scene, but that would be good film making.
Calling Lor San Tekka Bra'tac is somewhat disrespectful to Jedi Master Tony Amendola in Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor, but it also made me laugh.
Damn I knew this movie was derivative of A New Hope but until this video I didn't realise just *how* derivative...
Our beloved Mouse Droid returns!
*"I've been looking forward to this."* - Myself.. everyone since last year 😂
Phenomenal channel, hats off to you! Love the Braytech refernce :D
I watch these that I might avoid Jar Jar Abrams’ own pitfalls.
oh man, I already need a pallet cleanser. can you do a rogue one + andor S1 S2 video in the distant future?
56:59 the F15 is like 30-40 years old and still used in modern conflicts today
more like 50 years old. however its a post-dog fight aircraft, being in the missile age it is servicable as a weapons platform especially with upgrades. and it is used in a relatively peaceful era where dirrect greatpower conflict does not happen.
for gun fights, like star wars, between major powers however its wowfully obsolete, and wouldn't still be used (atleast as a fighter) if those kinds of fights were anywhere near common.
and it is shown that should an f-15 go up against an f-35, the f-15 would never even know the f-35 was there before exploding.
Not a single mention that the X-Wing engine design is just a literal execution of the early Ralph McQuarrie concept art? 🤨
Empire is best, but Jedi is better than Hope. There, I said it
There is a timeline where Star Wars never had a sequel amd was forever a standalone title. It is fondly remembered as a 70s cult classic but not the pop culture behemoth we know, instead a Dune adaption or a much earlier Lord of the Rings trilogy takes its place
It's more entertaining, that's for sure.
Oh god, now i cant look at the old man without thinking about the greatest jaffa master that has ever lived
quadnoculars look like those tacticool NVG they got in COD MW
My first thought when seeing this was "only an hour?"
Its not my birthday, why is TH-cam being so good to me? Whats that, its not yt, its actually the wonderful people who make videos, and nothing to do with google at all?
😱
yeah tfa does have some nods to the prequles, for intance when poe and finn try to escape, they are gettinh harrased by a tracking tropedo like in episode 3.
And hux also mentions clones
That Attack of the Clones part 2 will hit like crack
In response to hans blaster vs the E-11, ever notice how it blasts craters out of the hanger behind the storm troopers? No other blaster does that till sequal chewbacca bowcaster
If this is the Bread Circus, are we all Baker-Clowns?
