and now, i want watch the full movie in 1920s style xD
Harry Gleeson now you've just given me another idea for a project to do in the future. Oops sorry I meant past.
Both Harry and Cyrus are my friends!!!
This needs to happen
Same here !
Where is the petition to sign to get this to happen?
If only the rest of this print had survived.
The ultimate lost film 😔
If you could see the rest of the ship as it comes into view, you'd see that it has two big "ears" on it.
Wasn't it discovered and remastered by George Lucas though?
@@zbroadcast3414 Yes, but he changed all the little details and added a bunch of "new" characters.
Not even Pete survived the edit. 😢
The Star Wars...coming to a galaxy near you June 1927.
My grandfather would've been only a few months old at that time. He was born 93 years ago.
Nope, not until 1929.
@@johnsavard7583Yep. M=1000
XX=20
IX=9
50 years later
With sound!
I was hoping for a spaceship swinging from a visible string with a flare for an engine.
Rocket Ships with sparklers for engines.
Me too
Watch the old Flash Gordon serials from the 1930s.
And smoke rising up.
Or a face on one of the planets
I like the "Golly" part. That gave me a good laugh.
Haha! My favourite bit! So glad you noticed, Mr Wignall!
If Star Wars had been released in 1927, then by the time of its actual release date it would of course have been 50 years old.
Here's some food for thought - that's only 6 years older than it actually is now.
That is astounding.
I now feel REALLY OLD. Gee, thanks! 😂😂😢😂
That shouldn't blow my mind as much as it does
For a minute, I thought this was an actual 1920s "Silly Symphony" cartoon that was named "Star Wars". Can you imagine if there was such a cartoon that started out like that?
That is the greatest compliment ever!
devastation!
@David Colan...: Likewise similarly taken, I hope WD or Mr Lucas haven't taken exception as this is a genuinely sympathetic and complementary production. Now where are the remaining 300hrs of storyline (including outtakes)?
Edited addition
From reading later comments (written earlier) who are Princess Alice, Julius and Obi-Sen-wossname? Please save me (and lots of similarly Hhuuh? Persons) hours of searching. Just By providing an update on these and other such characters in your anamatronicly-oriented brain. In hope, thanks.
I did too!
Damn time travelers...
Apparently Walt Disney had access to computer rendering software in the 1920s.
Naturally.
And text animation software that ran at 30 fps over a 24fps background.
They had this thing called hand drawn cells by artists.
And volumetric smoke effects...
@@lepterfirefall Filmmakers did that with practicals like miniatures around then like sea battles.
Gotta love that vintage aesthetic...
You gotta! Because its the shit, bro yo?
Had Star Wars appeared in that era, it would've looked like one of them Buck Rogers film serials.
I could watch this whole movie this way and enjoy every minute.
So could I. Except for it should have been in 3D!
If Disney used characters like Mickey, Oswald and Pete for a spoof, the intro could work.
Walt Disney had lost all rights to Oswalt. That is why he created Mackey for "Steamboat Willie".
Mickey as Han?
@@seatspud Mickey as Luke, Pete as Darth Vader.
Oswald Skywalker.
Pete voice: "No, *I* am your father."
Mickey voice: "That's not true! That's impossible!"
I’m very surprised it didn’t cut to a steamboat-star cruiser!
haha!
STEAMPUNK MICKEY!!!
I had a cassette tape of movie themes, including the Star Wars main theme, back at the the turn of the eighties. Cassettes being what they were, it had got stretched and mangled at different points, and the spools didn't turn very freely. As I recall, inserted into a portable player with a tinny speaker, it sounded pretty much exactly like this.
Now this is a true labor of creativity and love. Only thing that could've enhanced our experience watching this would if there were a narrator using a 1920's radio broadcast voice of the 1920's.
I tried that - couldn't get the voice right. I sounded too..nasally?
So basically clone wars intro
@@djcoxical don’t forget the Mid-Atlantic accent.
@@isaackellogg3493
You can never sound too nasally.
This is how some people think the 1977 version looks
Wait seriously......do people know that colored cameras existed in the 40s
@@yourfatboy5359 Cameras weren't color back then. Film was.
@@colossusforbin5484 yes i know......but what i was trying to say that there were films in color during the 40s
@@yourfatboy5359, *_very_* few of them, as filming in Technicolor (and the other color processes available at the time) was a big expense and then some.
@@Neville60001 yeah colored films back then expensive
Wait a minute, where it go? Bring it back! Play back the entire movie!
"What movie?" The one you've been carrying in your rusty innards!
Just you reconsider playing that movie for him.
@@KevyNova No, I don't think he likes you at all.
No, I don't like you either.
Alice:"Help me Obi-Yen-Sid you're my only hope"
(yes I know Yen Sid was created in 40' or 50 ' s but that line would be epic.
Yen Sid? YES!
I feel like he should be Yoda.
Can you believe it, it comes with SOUND! These fancy new special effects will never chatch on!
If you go for 1920s Star Wars, then with Art Deco spaceships !
Flash Gordon Vacuum Tube Shaped rockets with sparklers?
@@leftcoaster67, please God, hell to the naw, NO! It would be the 'flying phallus' (penis) effect mentioned by Ray Bradbury in his reasons why he didn't like the 1976 TV miniseries adaptation of _The Martian Chronicles_ if the filmmakers were to do that.
@@Neville60001 shades of my favourite film from way back when... Flesh Gordon, fist, I mean first, enjoyed on a TV screen in a crowded pub in Derby (UK) in @ '81.
Nice concept, well done. It does warrent further exploration. I was expecting the ship to sway and jiggle slightly (because of the strings holding it up) and have sparks coming out the back that fall to the bottom of the screen like the old Buck Rogers serials did. lol
Great ideas!
The first "talkie" came out in 1929, so the theme song would have to be played on a piano right there in the cinema.
So not only is this an alternate reality where Walt Disney created Star Wars all the way in the 1920s but also one where he never lost the rights to Oswald and still used the characters from the Alice Comedies.
And Alice and Oswald were on the various spacecraft, naturally.
I mean the company still use one from the Alice Comedies even today(Pete, debuted in Alice Solves the Puzzle from 1925)
Awesome. All this needs is a jump cut to the interior of the ship using this the Whistling Song footage from Steamboat Willie!
Storyboarding that now!
In 1922 Ernst Julius Öpik, an astronomer, made a calculation of the distance to the galaxy Andromeda using an astrophysical method based on the observed rotational velocities of the galaxy, which depends on the total mass around which stars are rotating, and on the assumption that the luminosity per unit mass was the same as that of our galaxy. He concluded that the distance was 450 kpc. It was a profound implication because that was the earliest supportive evidence given for any objects being outside our own galaxy.
This is truly fantastic!! I wish it were the whole movie...
What I would have given just to see a steamboat Millenium Falcon... 😎
Great idea!
It’s absolutely authentic to sound like from 1920s
Absolutely! You and I are completely authentic!
As badass as Star Wars is it still shows how amazing it is even in 1920's version
Naturally, one would have asked why the reel didn't show an early 20th Century Fox logo and release of Star Wars, but Walt Disney Studios existed in the 1920's while 20th Century Fox was only established on May 31, 1935 (I Googled it). :)
@TorontoJon: 'praps 19th Century Fix?
It was called something like 'Fox Film Studios' in the 1920s.
@@bennyhillconsideredfunnier3356 In fact, Fox Film was already in existence in 1914, while 20th Century Pictures was established in 1929, six years before the merging into 20th Century Fox
That’s certainly better than what Disney has actually done to the franchise!
I would love to see this continued. You know, to see more of this spoof.
Golly! 😱
Spaceships and galaxy battles in 1920'. People minds would blow in that time.
People's minds blew in 1977.
True, although some of them may have read the 1928 serial The Skylark of Space by E.E. "Doc" Smith (this film shows copyright 1929).
I remember this kids.... i was 31 when i watched this. Those were days.
And you created this over ten years ago?? Stunning attention to detail; the exposure variations, varying audio speed, faulty sprocket holes and all the rest. You are a god. Sharing this with a friend of mine who is both a Disney fan and a silent film enthusiast (as am I). 🙂
Thank you Mr Sock Monkey!
As a silent film enthusiast you should know this looks nothing like a silent film.
@@smoglesstripist1381 Even the date on the film is perfect: MCMXXIX -- 1929, just after the silent era when systems such as Phonofilm and Powers Cinephone made talkies practical. Disney cancelled his distribution contract with Pat Powers the following year amid a dispute over unpaid royalties due to Disney, and in response Powers hired away Disney's chief animator at the time, Ub Iwerks.
I disagree; Cox manages to capture the lighting surrounding the process of rolling film in contrast to other videomakers who simpy add a repeating filter to the footage and allow it to run.
love the music too 🙂
and the effect on the sound..
..how long does it take to do this piece?
Best Star Wars that Disney was involved with LOL 😆
Can’t wait to see the Ed Wood version!
Nor can I!
Tor Johnson as Chewbacca!!! 😂
I remember this, the first movie came out about 2 years after the first blockbuster “Moby Dick” came out which pathed the way for this saga.
Williams composed the main theme before his birth.
Impressive... most impressive.
Yeah - listen to Holst - The Planets "Mars" (composed 1916) also Korngold and his music to "Kings Row" (1942) . He also took inspiration form Wagner's Ring Cycle, Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring", Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" amongst many others.
This showed up on my altorithm after the night i was thinking of a '20s star wars.
Just came out of my mind in the middle of nowhere...
Shortly after this video was posted, a string of sinister black SUVs, all bearing the famed Mickey Mouse silhouette logo outlined in stormcloud greg, barreled out of the Walt Disney Company headquarters in the middle of the night bearing down on the home of one Daniel Cox, escorting a long black limousine carrying the one person in all Creation authorized to give mr. Cox an opportunity, an offer that he dare not refuse....
I was taken!
Good approximation of the early sound era!
That's all thanks to Mr Damien Spanjer!
Gee golly! Now we'll never know if Oswald defeated the evil Peg-Leg Pete!
Unless I get my ass in gear and finish the short LOL
@@djcoxical This is a trilogy, right ?
Surprise the Walt Disney company didn’t ban this for copyright
If they copyright it, this is Canon
The only footage of the original 1927 print, discovered to be in the hands of a private collector from Tokyo, Japan
The film was then re-released in 1937 with a full audio soundtrack and new scenes, this is the version that remains in the Disney vault
True story!
@@djcoxical(the idea of a Japanese collector having a part of a lost Disney cartoon comes from the fact that a 5 minute version of a lost Oswald cartoon were found in the hands of a collector from Japan. He supposedly got it when he was a teen and only semi recently found out it was a missing Oswald cartoon)
My grandfather told me about this. He said "You kids think this is new! We had your "Star Wars" in 1929! Now get off my lawn Billy!"
This is gonna go well for my #1 next best Roofing business known in the galaxy's
Why did i go into this thinking it was going to be a ragtime version 💀😭
the cantina scene.
"Wow I wonder how the piefight, uh uh I mean light saber battle was to be laid out?"
Best laugh I've had all morning. Thanks.
Thank god they will were digitally remastered before this happened.
Oh I hate reboots! My great grandparents used to talk about how they waited in line for hours to see this movie! It was Don Lockwood, Rudolf Valentino, pre-sound Joan Crawford, Laurel and Hardy, and Conrad Veidt at their finest!
Laurel and Hardy must have been R2D2 and C3PO
@@petepodpolucha8978 F course.
That's a great casting 😉😉😊😊🙂🙂
Disney should add this to their movies
That’s brilliant, I want to see the evil Peg Leg Pete take over the galaxy
I love how there was no need to rename THE DEATH STAR.
I seen this theater, when i was a kid
I don’t even know how this came on my feed but I loved it 😂
Thanks babe! :-)
You have to watch this in 144p in all its LD (Low Definition) glory, how it was truly intended.
Haha!
I hit like as soon as I saw "Peg-leg Pete".
I was expecting a ragtime piano cover of the Star Wars theme.
Now all that remains is to make the film that goes with it.
Made us Appreciate our Blueray STARWARS Collection even more! May the Good Force be with Us always! 🕯🌍
Thanks kgbeat and bairdduvvessa! It was alot fun making it. As for the jump cut, if I get enough views and comments, I'll make the next part.
The opening title sequence is much easier to read.
The Mouse Star, a Space Battle Station capable of firing a billion hungry mice at a planet devouring it! (I can picture that in a silly symphony cartoon)
*Mouse Star blasts a bunch of mice out like a cannon onto a Planet made entirely out of cheese.
If Disney bought Star Wars earlier than expected.
There's such a creepy feeling to the opening title. The pitch keeps changing to emphasize the effect of an old recording worn down by time. I can't help but feel like I'm watching a scary video with a vintage asthetic and the screen is gonna go blank for a good 10 seconds just to make me feel an unending dread.
Golly! Gee-willickers!
Sounds like a bad 5th grade orchestra
Possibly even worse?
I need more !!
So do I! Can I borrow a twenty and finish the rest?
This is so awesome! I really hope you do more of this! :)
The algorithm blessed me with this only today. Thanks.
Thank you kindly!
Still better than the Disney sequels.
LOL. Can imagine if it really was made in the 1020's.
The 1970's one would no doubt have been a remake.
Without a doubt.
Now you're in big trouble! You're going to have to finish it. Challenge accepted as Darth Vader would say.
I am working on the next part, but it'll probably be 2 minutes maximum. So I think I might be taking this project to the grave LOL
Had me for a second
This is cool because Star Wars came out in 1977 and see a Star Wars intro of Walt Disney in 1920
It’s fake. Fan made actually.
I liked the Flash Gordon space ship scenes, where the exhaust smoke drifts down
Awesome
I knew it. It did exist!!
Much better than the sequel trilogy
Probably not.
1920s sorta works, but it wasn't until 1924 that anyone knew what galaxies even were. Before Edwin Hubble figured it out, astronomers thought Andromeda was a small spiral nebula and that the Milky Way contained most if not all the stars in existence. And it takes time for new scientific discoveries to filter through popular culture.
So a late 1920s Star Wars _might_ have opened with the famous words, but really, it wouldn't be very likely.
Blockade runner should've been a Flash Gordon' esc ship shooting out sparks.
Damn it, why weren't you at the original meeting???
I was waiting for that.
That was great
I like this! Can't wait to see more!
a) Thank you for remembering to NOT include the bloody "Episode IV: A New Hope."
b) If only Disney could make a movie this well today.
A) That would be sacrilege!
Now I wanna see the rest of the film.
Very cool.
Does anyone else wanna see the rest of this
WOW.....If that amount of time was taken to show the Rebel Blockade Runner....Can you imagine the time needed to show the Imperial Star Destroyer????? Would love to see this 1920's version of STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE!!!! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOAR!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant concept, and execution. Great job.
Thank you Vincent!
We Brake For Nobody
Man the original is way better than the remake
That was great...!
That was fun
For the Love of all that is holy,please finish This.
I will try!
This is the bees knees!!
That's Awesome...!
