TH-cam has apparently stopped notifying you guys when I post new videos. If you missed Episode III, get it here: th-cam.com/video/SjfU0efgOKI/w-d-xo.html
It's like how European monks would draw pictures of elephants without ever having seen one! Travelers came back from Africa describing them, and they did their best. They're *really* bizarre looking
I think the original Star Wars novel had a lot to do with the China discrepancies. The novel (George Lucas was the credited writer, though Alan Dean Foster is said to have written it) hinted at a Luke-Leia romance which became a focus of Foster's 1978 sequel "Splinter Of A Mind's Eye."
I feel bad when The Return of the Jedi comic released and Leia was revealed to be Luke's sister. Especially if they took some...artistic liberties...with the kiss scene in Empire
Jeffy I remember one Marvel comic from 1979 that introduced Jabba the Hutt. He was a golden space monkey with fins on his head, rather than a giant slug. It was very weird to look at thirty years later.
The galactic republic was always part of star wars. In fact the first line is ripped from pre editted title crawl of a new hope. That line was cut out though because when george lucas showed the movie to his friends, they thought it was too much exposition. A great video to watch is how star wars was saved in the edit
Luke being Blue 5 instead of Red 5 wasn't a change for the Chinese market. He's actually Blue 5 in the script and the novelization, which is what I'm guessing they based this on. It was changed to red in the movie because blue stuff turned black against the blue screens they were using. If you watch the non-Special Editions, you can see it happen to R2 a lot.
owynmerrilin ohhhhhh I’m stupid I have the original copies of the movies on vhs and I was so confused why R2 was black instead of blue (specifically in the space scenes)
What is odd-- some of these details were actually accurate to an earlier script. At one time the Stormtroopers WERE going to look a lot more like Boba Fett-- and Luke's squadron was originally going to be blue squadron instead of red squadron.
I found an early draft of George's script online long before the prequels, back when Skywalker was Starkiller and Leia was far from the badass she became. This incredible mess sounds very similar to it. It gave me hope. If George could write that badly and turn it into Star Wars, maybe I had a chance.
This amalgamation of sci-fi film ultra bootleg comic is freakin glorious. I'm totally digging Leia's design here. Not to mention the artwork is great, aside from the lack of color probably from the lack of budget, but still great!
What she's wearing on the first panel shown is a "traje de luces", a bullfighter suit. Probably ripped it straight off a picture/artwork of a bullfighter
I'm only slightly familiar with Manga, but I think it is traditionally black and white inside. I understand that's Japanese, of course, but that's closer to what they had as an influence than Western style full color.
I can't be the only one who thinks the artwork was actually really dope. In some ways it looks more interesting than the original. Like a Star Wars alternate history spinoff or something. Also, "The Dark-Robed Lord Vader" is ten times cooler than Darth Vader holy shit
3:25 WELL THEN. I know the Space Battleship Yamato film was released the same year as a New Hope and all, but I never thought I'd see a bootleg Yamato in a bootleg Star Wars comic...
Considering, how Empire here got transuniversal carrier, won't be surprised, if this is Yamato, boarded in the Yamato-verse and tugged here by the means of this transuniversal carrier.
I absolutely love your star wars videos, even if they're a temporary thing. Your editing is amazing and your humor makes me smile. I've been going through a lot lately, but your videos always cheer me up. Keep it up, dude, I love it.
You don't realise, this is pure gold. I dream of a world where all my favorite fictional universes are adapted by artists who have only a script to work on. I mean, to see what image came in the minds of those guys when they red the story is amazing. The plot is still here, it's the same story, but the universe is a whole new thing. Love it
I have a feeling that this adaptation was based on the film novelization, which was based on an earlier script where Red Squadron was Blue Squadron (which was changed due to the color blue not working well with blue screen effects) and had several illusions to Earth creatures, such as dinosaurs and pandas.
In my opinion, the comic is great. It’s the best that could have been done, it’s surprisingly faithful to the source material, and I love the alternate designs for many of the vehicles and locations. It’s truly something great.
This is so intriguing. This should be a thing, like, describing the plot of something to an artist and having them try to recreate it with their own imaginings. Kind of like those videos where professional artists upgrade their kids' doodles.
That "Star Destroyer with teeth " is the Yamato from Space Cruiser Yamato, aka Star Blazers. And those aren't teeth: they're the trench-lines of the Wave Motion Gun.
The artists definitely got a hold of McQuarrie's concept art, because Boba Fett's armor was in fact the early Stormtrooper armor, which was later somewhat retconned in the prequels as Stormtrooper armor being based off of Clone Trooper armor, which in turn was based off of Mandalorian armor. As for Chimp-bacca, McQuarrie originally envisioned Chewie as being more primate-like, than the Wookiee we see onscreen. Also, the comic, despite being mistranslated, is surprisingly far better than the Engrish we see today, and all this stuff had to be done under the oppression of Mao, which is quite miraculous.
How about a *bootleg* holiday special? A few things worth mentioning... "Transuniversal Carrier Ships" "In a certain vast galaxy, the entirety of which was ruled by the Galactic Republic in the past, but now this Republic has been destroyed, and is now ruled by a Galactic Empire..." "Luke feels as if his entire heart and soul has come into the sway of the princess." and 6:06... and "Let the weird flow through you!"
In the American comic adaptation, and in the novelization, Luke was Blue 5. But in the 70s and 80s, they used blue screen instead of green screen. So the blue stripes on Luke's fighter would have either shown the Death Star or stars, depending on which way you were looking.
That "Star Destroyer" with teeth looks like the battleship Yamato from Uchū Senkan Yamato, directed by Leiji Matsumoto. Probably the chinese had some material available giving Japan is not far.
Seems like that made this by reading the script. The blue squadron hints that big time to me. Red squadron was originally blue squadron (hence blue squadron in rouge one) but due to special effects tech at the time, the blue came out black in space shots, so they changed it to red.
3:31 Well huh apparently Space Battleship Yamato takes place in the Star Wars universe according to this bootleg. Can't wait to see the bootleg Empire Strikes Back where Han Solo teams up with Captain Harlock.
A lot of people seemed a little turned off by the quantity of Star Wars videos you're putting out,a but I personally appreciate the Star Wars videos, they remind me of why I love it
Yusen Ye dat happens when u live in a communist country. U guys should really think about ur backward governmental systems, man. I mean what’s with the factory communities? U guys raise ur children in factories and never teach them standard math, science, and social studies? Man, ur country is really fucked up from my POV.
Tomas AK chill dude, I’m not criticizing Chinese ppl, I’m just saying the Chinese government is really corrupted in the sense that it sends military forces to suppress borderland states and keep the Justice system under heavy communist agenda. Again, from my POV u guys r REALLY messed up.
The Boba Fett outfit was the prototype costume for stormtroopers, if the author wasn’t aware the outfit was simplified due to budget constraints it would be an easy to mistake to make.
Back in the day, in Italy, someone decided to keep Jedi English spelling, but pronounce it as though it were "Yedee" Also, they went on to "translate" some names: Han Solo = Ian Solo 3-3PO = D-3BO R2-D2 = C1-P8 Darth Vader = Dart Fener (just about always called Lord Fener) Death Star = Morte Nera [Black Death] Finally, In the Italian version, a "Yedee" would clearly wield a laser sword (spada laser).
7:54 - a lot of it is based on nostalgia! We all come to The Wars from different beginnings but ultimately one part or another of it grabbed us and we held on tight. Comics, books, movies, cartoons, action figures, video games, etc.... 40 years worth of it and we all hold some piece of it in high regards in our hearts. So Super Star Wars Nerds to just Star Wars Fans, we love it and will keep coming back. That's the reason why I'm OK with Disney owning it now. Disney isn't going anywhere, therefor the future of Star Wars is secure.
The American Star Wars comics by al Williamson have a few issues that were drawn before the movie came out. The artwork looks a lot closer to Ralph McQuarry concept art. This artwork in this Chinese version looks a lot like Flash Gordon comics, it's pretty well drawn
I just discovered something else I never knew existed but desperately need. So, so desperately. This has to be re-released, with an annotated English translation. In full color
So completing stealing from "Space Battleship Yamato" aka "Star Blazers'. (I woulda done the same thing btw) Anyone notice the Gamillon carrier?! This is funny though, because it has, in fact, been speculated that Lucas had some inspiration from "Yamato". Lord knows he had no qualms about stealing from the Japanese! Also, in the Star Wars novelisation, ghost written by Alan Dean Foster, it was called "Blue" squadron. So I'm guessing that was accurate to an earlier draft.
At 3:52 bottom right next to the Boba Fett Stormtroopers is the head of 2-1B Medical Droid from Empire Strikes Back, and at 4:10 the 'Sandcrawler' looks VERY close to the 'Juggernaut' tank as seen in Revenge of The Sith and Rogue One.
So my family adopted three girls from China who grew up there till about age 14. And yeah ... without the cultural background in Star Wars, they just ... really ... really can't get into Star Wars. No matter what. We've tried. We've tried everything. Original trilogy? Might as well have been a six-hour screen saver. Prequel trilogy? Apparently a blank screen would have been more riveting to them. Rogue One, they started off okay but then they just wandered out of the room before the halfway point. They didn't mind The Force Awakens, interestingly. They liked Chewbacca in it. They thought he was cute. But I can't get them to watch a single solitary minute more of the series now. I'd be surprised if a Star Wars film ever makes it big in China. I love my sisters, but Star Wars is a banned subject in polite conversation now.
At 3:25 the ship is actually what i assume to be based of a 宇宙戦艦, or a space battleship. And the model is an actual spaceship of an anime called 宇宙戦艦大和 (space battleship yamato), a 1974 anime. During that time period there were a lot of animes that featured spaceship models that were inspired by real life battleships. And since Chinese people probably had slightly more access to Japanese media more than the western ones, they thought battleships looked like that in the Star Wars movies too. Not an expert but that's just what I know. Sorry for the long explanation
Two things. 1. "Bu yao" is "No" in certain situations in Mandarin. Translating to "Bu = Negative Prefix for certain words" and "Yao = to want". So Vader is being correctly translated back into English. Hahaha. 2. Mainland China has a negative outlook on Star Wars due to the heavy Japanese influences. Source: My Beijingnese wife. Fark that comic is so rad. I want it hahaha.

A moisture farm. They literally farm water. No real exercise required.

Thanks.
theres a video that talks about a creature that looks like a unicorn in the 5th century , its like a goat lol.
Id definitely watch a film adaptation of the Chinese adaptation of the original star wars.
if your comment reaches 100 likes, maybe Universal will realize the potential of this and start rolling production !
+Silence 100th like right here, boy do I feel special for making Universal realize the potential of this
Here we are boiiiss !! I can hear from here Universal flapping the checkbook !
It would be better than any other actual Star Wars movie actually made.
Would be better than anything Disney has managed to crap out so far.
Red Squadron is Blue because in the original script (and novel) they were originally blue. Blue doesn't work too well with blue screens.
or how racists call them: green screens
I think the original Star Wars novel had a lot to do with the China discrepancies. The novel (George Lucas was the credited writer, though Alan Dean Foster is said to have written it) hinted at a Luke-Leia romance which became a focus of Foster's 1978 sequel "Splinter Of A Mind's Eye."
Indeed. In the Star Wars novelization, Luke (when piloting his X-wing) was "Blue Five."
The art in this book is actually pretty good. I'd buy an English translation.
I feel bad when The Return of the Jedi comic released and Leia was revealed to be Luke's sister. Especially if they took some...artistic liberties...with the kiss scene in Empire
maybe there are english bootlegs of the chinese bootleg comic...

"Darth Vader riding a Triceratops" now that's a thing I haven't heard since I was veeeery young

you think they might have actually had an old script, and not a transcription?
An old script or the novelisation.
I think luke being leia's brother was a retcon
@@logtguy8822 That's correct, as was Vader being their father.

That is the Yamato! Why? Just why? Then again... the Yamato is far superior to anything from Star Wars...
James - Jyk Vox - Settle, I don't ever want to hear that in my galaxy ever again!
No, it is the Yamato!
It's like that boss from Streets of Rage 3 lol.

Yeah, it sounds like a fun comic.
Earth robbed lord Vader is badasssssss
And the animation looks awesome that’s just us webs loving the Japanese style as always tho
@Colby Boucher
Yamato.... lower tech....
Umm... that doesn’t compute, umm wait, you’re under arrest!
Wait, no that’s actually Space Battleship Yamato! What, why! Just why?
Why don't they throw in some Gatlantis and Bolar while they're at it!
That Star Destroyer with the 'teeth' is actually a design 'borrowed' from the Japanese anime 'Space Ship Yamato' aka 'Star Blazers'.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
TheFarSideNoob I'd buy it for fifty dollars, that shit is hilarious!
Nice reference! 😎 ☝
Though the designs of characters and ships are completely wrong, they're still sick as fuck.
3:25 WELL THEN. I know the Space Battleship Yamato film was released the same year as a New Hope and all, but I never thought I'd see a bootleg Yamato in a bootleg Star Wars comic...

Problem is that the Yamato’s wave motion gun makes a Death Star completely irrelevant.
Darth Vader on a triceratops? I probably did that as a kid with my Star Wars and Jurassic Park toys.

I would totally see a film adaptation of the original bootleg adaptation in theaters.
I actually really like some of the art in this, and it really shows you how Star Wars became iconic due to its look and feel rather than it's plot.
I keep stumbling across your videos, and everytime I do, I try to think where else I've heard your voice. I've finally remembered to sub this time.

3:52 Medical Droid on the far right.
The TH-cam Vigilante boi
this makes me wonder... boba fett and the 21b medical droid first appeared in esb that came out in 1980. so how does this thing from 1978 have them?
Borba Fet
Maybe George Lucas ripped Boba Fett from this bootleg!!
Or more likely, this bootleg actually came out after ESB.
Ooba. Ooba.
@Borba Fet: Boba Fett's first appearance was actually in _The Star Wars Holiday Special_ (1978).
I want a movie adaptation of this.
Because Obi-Wan on bike with rocket launchers will be totally badass.
I have a feeling that this adaptation was based on the film novelization, which was based on an earlier script where Red Squadron was Blue Squadron (which was changed due to the color blue not working well with blue screen effects) and had several illusions to Earth creatures, such as dinosaurs and pandas.

"Embrace the weird. Let the weird flow through you." Words to live by when you're a writer.
that drawing of Vader with a tricetops is based off a Frank frazetta John Carter of mars cover painting.
It would have been called Blue Squadron because that's what it was called in the original screenplay and novelisation.
Sounds correct.
I would pay to see this in US cinemas
This is brilliant and I fucking love it.
This is so intriguing. This should be a thing, like, describing the plot of something to an artist and having them try to recreate it with their own imaginings. Kind of like those videos where professional artists upgrade their kids' doodles.

Tomas AK no the school shooters
That "Star Destroyer with teeth " is the Yamato from Space Cruiser Yamato, aka Star Blazers. And those aren't teeth: they're the trench-lines of the Wave Motion Gun.
Yamato in Star Wars, the crossover i wanted when i was a kid.
6:05 thats a Malaysian Airlines logo... So thats where the plane went
HOOOLLLLY CRAP! Was that the Space Battleship Yamato?
Yes... and there is a Gamilas battle carrier. I guess the Empire decided to “upgrade.” But why would they even need a Death Star if they have a WMG?
That's not a star-destroyer with teeth, that's the Space Battleship Yamato!

The Chinese at least sort of predicted the storm troopers being boba fett tho it was just the clone troopers being Jango
How about a *bootleg* holiday special?
A few things worth mentioning...
"Transuniversal Carrier Ships"
"In a certain vast galaxy, the entirety of which was ruled by the Galactic Republic in the past, but now this Republic has been destroyed, and is now ruled by a Galactic Empire..."
"Luke feels as if his entire heart and soul has come into the sway of the princess."
and 6:06...
and "Let the weird flow through you!"
3:35 That's the Space Battleship Yamato
Dude, I have never laughed this hard in my life!!!I just discovered your channel today. Thanks, man!
" Also there's no gravity in space " this has gone too far!
I'll tell you right now, star wars doesn't stand on its own legs for a single second without the nostalgia.
3:36 Thumbs up just for having The Yamato in Star Wars lol!!!
In the American comic adaptation, and in the novelization, Luke was Blue 5. But in the 70s and 80s, they used blue screen instead of green screen. So the blue stripes on Luke's fighter would have either shown the Death Star or stars, depending on which way you were looking.

Struly nostalgic memory of mine
That "Star Destroyer" with teeth looks like the battleship Yamato from Uchū Senkan Yamato, directed by Leiji Matsumoto. Probably the chinese had some material available giving Japan is not far.
And what Leia is wearing in the first panel shown is just a bullfighter suit
When I lived in China I bought one of those small small stuffed animals of Derek wild star and nova. That was about 5 years ago!!
Seems like that made this by reading the script. The blue squadron hints that big time to me. Red squadron was originally blue squadron (hence blue squadron in rouge one) but due to special effects tech at the time, the blue came out black in space shots, so they changed it to red.

What the HECK is a "Space Battleship Yamato"?
Japanese WW2 super battleship repurposed for space and armed with a planet-busting Wave Motion Gun.

Also, in the Star Wars novelisation, ghost written by Alan Dean Foster, it was called "Blue" squadron. So I'm guessing that was accurate to an earlier draft.
A big case of "Lost in Translation".
At 3:52 bottom right next to the Boba Fett Stormtroopers is the head of 2-1B Medical Droid from Empire Strikes Back, and at 4:10 the 'Sandcrawler' looks VERY close to the 'Juggernaut' tank as seen in Revenge of The Sith and Rogue One.
So my family adopted three girls from China who grew up there till about age 14. And yeah ... without the cultural background in Star Wars, they just ... really ... really can't get into Star Wars. No matter what. We've tried. We've tried everything. Original trilogy? Might as well have been a six-hour screen saver. Prequel trilogy? Apparently a blank screen would have been more riveting to them. Rogue One, they started off okay but then they just wandered out of the room before the halfway point. They didn't mind The Force Awakens, interestingly. They liked Chewbacca in it. They thought he was cute. But I can't get them to watch a single solitary minute more of the series now. I'd be surprised if a Star Wars film ever makes it big in China. I love my sisters, but Star Wars is a banned subject in polite conversation now.
3:27 actually thats battleship yamato .. from japanese anime
3:45. Leia is dressed like a bullfighter. Literally. Thats a bullfighter costume with a cleavage.
3:28 That looks like a bloated Spaceship Yamato.
I feel like this what all the Hollywood professionals who were certain Star Wars would flop thought Star Wars would look like.
“Pirated produce entertainment is its own industry over seas”
Meanwhile in America: *laughs in TheAsylum ripping off every single movie ever*
At 3:25 the ship is actually what i assume to be based of a 宇宙戦艦, or a space battleship. And the model is an actual spaceship of an anime called 宇宙戦艦大和 (space battleship yamato), a 1974 anime. During that time period there were a lot of animes that featured spaceship models that were inspired by real life battleships. And since Chinese people probably had slightly more access to Japanese media more than the western ones, they thought battleships looked like that in the Star Wars movies too. Not an expert but that's just what I know. Sorry for the long explanation
3:28 I can't believe they ruined such a beautiful ship by making it fatter, rip BBY-01 Yamato
The actual Space Battleship Yamato would sink the Imperial fleet in an afternoon!
Two things.
1. "Bu yao" is "No" in certain situations in Mandarin. Translating to "Bu = Negative Prefix for certain words" and "Yao = to want". So Vader is being correctly translated back into English. Hahaha.
2. Mainland China has a negative outlook on Star Wars due to the heavy Japanese influences.

Fark that comic is so rad. I want it hahaha.
That star destroyer looks like space battleship Yamato XD
if they made a film adaptation of this bootleg, I'm watching it!
Id suggest reading the Russian TMNT bootleg comic if you like really weird comics. My personal favorite is when they fought Freddy Krueger.
Man this guy does some work for his videos.. only a matter of time before he blows up
