Thank you so much for watching everyone, the response to this video has been incredible. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
/ shahankhilji - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Just want to reiterate how awesome all of you are and how thankful I am for the the response to this video. When I made it I never imagine it would get a response like this. The fact that this video resonated with so many of you is overwhelming and something I won't take for granted. You are all awesome!
+Shahan Reviews It was awesome.
+Shahan Reviews Very well cut, congrats on all the success.
+Shahan Reviews thanks for this shahan and may the force be with you
solid work bro
+Shahan Reviews The video was great. But I didn't like how you edited Obi Wan's lines so that they were in a slightly different order. You could have achieved the same effect by having them in their original order. Other than that, it was great
my parents didn't sign my permission slip to go on this feels trip
My apologies.

What's awesome is that Alec Guinness' acting really conveys that story without even knowing what it was, or ever having seen it. Great actors.
+nfinitiduck To be honest, at this point they had no idea what the story was. They didn't even plan for Vader and Anakin to be the same character.
+Ryan Denziloe Are you fucking stupid? The entire point of the original trilogy was to reveal Luke's father as the bad guy
+Kane Carter before it was a trilogy it was one film, you know...
+Yaos yes, called "episode 4". Shut the fuck up, look this up you idiot
Kane Carter Are you actually stupid or are you just pretending to be?
"and he was a good friend." [anakin screams I hate you]
my heart how it hurts
while that the "i hate you" audio wasn't put into this video makes it so people like me don't realise that it was that clip that was used
knowing it was now, it makes it all the more chilling to see the silent scream of Anakin when i know what he's yelling at Obi-Wan
@@sootmancer9851 honestly it's so much better without sound
Trevor Philips It’s the haunting back track with Guinness’s longing stare that make this special. Honestly, watching that Clone Wars show on Disney + and it’s pissing me off how much more quality a cartoon show is. Reminded me of this. Always worth the Re watch
They were brothers
It can't hurt as much as having to watch Hayden Christensen's performance in that film. XD
I enjoy revisiting this video every once in a whlie. It's spawned of a lot of imitators, but it's still the best, most simple-and-elegant, most evocative take on the concept.
Thank you Chris for the kind words!
Same. Was just showing this video to some new star wars fans. Now im rewatching it over and over. Cuz of the feels.
100% this
My sentiments exactly. Simple yet poignant. Great job to OP!
Always loved the simplicity, the others kind of overdo it
this video is a pathway to many feels some consider to be unnatural
word...
Best. Comment. Ever.
hahaha
hahahahaha great comment.
Check out my videos ppl...plz
"I cut off his arms and left him to burn near a lava stream, he was a good friend"
Before he became dark vader
+Sosotur_Sos Did you just say Dark fucking Vader!?
+Sosotur_Sos
A terrible thing about the French dub is that Darth Vader was renamed Dark Vador.
They turned space Dutch into space English for French audiences, WTF?
+Albino Spaz "He also used to sulk and whine about me like I was his fucking stepdad, he was a good friend"'
+Kado Dragon Dark Vodar is the best
I really thought this was going to be an awkward edit, but because of a few glances and gulps from Alec Guiness it seems like the truth is on the tip of his tongue but he just couldn't tell him. The music and usage of the best parts of the prequels adds to it in my opinion. Very well done.
+Jack Hartnett Thank you so much!
+Shahan Reviews Yea dude. This is top notch.
+Shahan Reviews you could easily edit out the music of the "you were my brother anakin. I loved you"
though the upload is still great
+Jack Hartnett I saw your comment on dorkly
+Arokingzaz ert
This speaks volumes of the brilliant acting talents of Alec Guinness.
I'm shocked this wasn't part of them twenty special editions they added
George Lucas only decided in the middle of filming Empire that Darth Vader was going to be Luke's father... They did not know during A New Hope. This is why Obi-Wan calls Vader, "Darth" in their light saber fight on the death star. Alec Guinness did not know that Vader was Luke's father, or that he actually cut his limbs off, or any of that.
Ana Person He and Ewan McGregor made Obi Wan arguably the best character in the series.
There's a reason why Alec Guinness is the ONLY actor in all seven Star Wars movies to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Even though the prequel backstories were non-existent, he gave Obi-Wan a multi-layered character who clearly had a lot of history and wisdom as well as pain and sorrow just with his expressions. That's why with or without the prequels, you can still draw interpretations as to what Obi-Wan's gazes into the distance can mean.
Brilliant actor.
And to the shit he was given as a script.
I love how no one knew Vader's past before this, yet he still paused at perfect times as if he was remembering something hard for him to talk about.
It's even crazier because he definitely didn't know Vader's past. Vader and Anakin were 2 different people at this point. It wasn't until the next movie that Lucas decided he should be the father, which may be the greatest movie decision of all time.
Brilliant fucking actor. Even for a "cheap scifi flick" without much possibility of success he gave it his best.
George Lucas may have asked him to pause a few times & then edited for effect. Gave him options in later films.
PatrickStewart_Acting.gif
Well it makes sense. War memories are tough. Being a talented actor, he knew to pause for a moment to reflect on the trauma. When Lucas made the twist, Obi Wants already strong acting helped sell it
This is what made Alec Guiness such an amazing actor. Despite not knowing the background of Vader at the time of this movie's release, he was able to show such subtlety in his acting that made it clear that Ben knew more than he was letting on to Luke. Still one of the best characters in the entirety of Star Wars lore.
Zed Said d
They didn't have everything planned out then. This is all subtext and shows you how powerful editing can be.
@@Cavers George Lucas may not have, but Alec Guinness made it seem, even from the standpoint of 1977, that something was up with the death of Luke's father, that he didn't want Luke to know.
Crazy character man..
Agreed.
Incredible and moving one of the best youtube posts I've ever seen.
+Mathew Evans That means so much to me Matthew, thank you.
+Shahan Reviews I keep coming back to this video, week after week!
+Eobard Thane SAAME lol, its in my watch again list
Bro I'm 54 and I remember when I saw Star Wars for the first time. This made me really sad.
201st like on this comment. Sorry...
You were my brother Anakin. I loved you.
Op high ground
@@TexasViking_INFP-t_5w4 plz nerf
He was my brother too. We all loved him back during The Clone Wars. We admired him. We enjoyed and cherished the adventures we shared with him. We miss him.
I miss him...
*screams in pain*
Thank you so much for the kind words everyone. It means a lot to me! I definitely want to keep making videos like this.
+Shahan Reviews legit the vid made me tear up
+Shahan Reviews GREAT job! Makes Obi-Wan seem more justified for his dishonesty.
+Shahan Reviews You should reedit all of the movies to have this kind of emotional weight. Try and get it back to us by next Thursday. Thanks!
So happy it moved you!
+Shahan Reviews
Very powerful!

Damn, this is really well done and the music just exacerbates the emotion apart of it. Congratulations.
+Adz Hus It's music from the HBO show The Leftovers. It's an amazing show and the music really helps heighten the emotions.

This highlights what a great actor Alec Guiness was, the flashbacks here emphasise his facial expressions, he seems like he's legitimately remembering his painful past and planning how what he should and shouldn't revealm
Given Sir Alec's acting choices you do have to wonder if Lucas had told him that what he was saying was actually a lie, a truth from "a certain point of view". I guess even if Lucas hadn't, Alec was such a good actor that he would have known relating the death of someone the character counted as a "good friend" would be painful.
Nope. It's a fact the whole "Vader is Luke's father" thing didn't come about until the second movie. Episode 4 was written to be as standalone as possible, in case it failed in the box office. At the same time Episode 5 was being written Lucas also drew up the script for a very low budget sequel that would wrap up the few loose ends, just in case.
No its just manipulative editing and slowing down of footage and playing sad music to tug on those precious precious heart strings.
Evnyofdeath - I remember watching a documentary on Lucas and he was recounting that he was in Hawaii (as he does at the release of his movies) when someone called him and said, "People are going nuts over your little space movie!". XD
Indeed my friend I'm astonished at how I wasn't able to deduce this when I first saw a New Hope.
I keep coming back to this video every now then. A fucking masterpiece!
Thanks Raul. That means a lot to me. Glad you enjoy it!
Oh my, that was so well done! It really brought forward all the emotion. Beautifully edited.
I agree
+The Toria Show Thank you.
+Shahan Reviews Holy cow that was nicely done! Keep doing more!
g
Thanks baby
Alec Guiness was so good that his face when asked about Anakin's dead is perfect to show how guilty Obi Wan feels
Yet also how nostalgic he is over the great person Anakin once was.
It really is awesome. Obviously, Guinness had no idea of any of the backstory, but he could sense so many things that Obi-Wan would have been going through. Guinness was a wonderful actor.
What the fuck is going on here..... George Lucas only decided in the middle of filming Empire that Darth Vader was going to be Luke's father... They did not know during A New Hope. This is why Obi-Wan calls Vader, "Darth" in their light saber fight on the death star.
Alec Guinness did not know that Vader was Luke's father, or that he actually cut his limbs off, or any of that.
Alec Guiness' acting is so good, it transcended time so it would still work after the retcon.

0:34-0:41
Obi-Wan's expression gets me every time.
EdNorty I think that would've been a good time to mention the kids he slaughtered. "He... Uh... Killed a whole bunch of kids..."
I swear the two Obi-wans are both just amazing characters in their respective trilogies with amazing actors
ikr
+iMiguelAOG Yeah, not a fan of the prequels but Ewan McGregor was great as Obi-Wan, especially in 3.
Uncle Fester I actually enjoyed the prequels, and yes he was, I also thought Qui Gonn was great
When Vader killed Obi wan, he achieved a plane of existence that was higher than Vader's, thus having the ultimate high ground.
Anakin got there, at the end.
Amazing xD
Mate, thank you. I felt stuff and it hurt. This was beautiful. Now I must go spend a day and watch the whole saga again
Thanks for the comment Cheezilla. Means a lot to me!
1:07 Gets me every time
" Now the Jedi are all but extinct. "
I continue to come back to this video. The emotions set 30 years in the past coincide so well with the story. Mostly due to the amazing editing. Heartbreak never felt so good.
Thank you Derek!
Wow. That's what I'd think. I thought this would be a spoof
+Mason Kyler I was expecting Obi Wan to say Darth Vader killed him and then cutting to a scene where just dismembers Anakin
Mason Kyler Where's John Cena in this?
the face Obi-Wan makes, when Luke asks "how did my father die" is really touching, in connection to the newer movies. I could never point out the emotion in this face when I first watched this movie before the I. II. and III. episode.
I was looking all over on TH-cam for this one, they have so many other "flash back" cuts but this has to be the best one. So emotional and well edited.
+AndrewSun15 Thank you Andrew.
AndrewSun15 sweet and short. By far the most powerful one. I don't need to see a recap of order 66. The music and editing is perfect. It's just continues to solidify my love of star wars. Just beautiful
Excellent music choice
+The Great Ammuraf Yes but I'm sure there is enough Star Wars themes that could have been used instead
+JarJar Abrams why? Its over done, this was perfect.
+JarJar Abrams I literally cannot think of a single Star Wars theme that can portray the emotion as well as this...
+The Great Ammuraf music was from the leftovers right?
+Adam Bieger Max Richter is the composer, the entire score is on Spotify.
That beautiful moment when fans realize, that for all their perceived faults, the prequels did not detract from or cheapen the original trilogy. Instead and in fact enhanced and enriched them by killing the myths and legends surrounding Anakin and the Clone Wars by showing the truth. But that's just my "certain point of view"...
This guy^^^^ MVP
Agreed 100%
MattTree1 yeah no.
Kenneth Eaton Yeah, no. "Cheapen" does not define the injustice of the prequels
I think they could've been better, and are the inferior to the originals, but they certainly didn't take away from the franchise in my opinion
I watch this every few months when I need a good cry.
Yes, this is gold!
Thanks!
+Shahan Reviews Great work on the video man

You know, come to think of it episode 3 wasn't half bad, episode 1 on the other hand...
+Stephen Ward Oh, but it was.
+Stephen Ward Jar-Jar is my all time favorite character.
+Stephen Ward You should watch the Topher cut. All three prequel movies edited into one. No Jar-Jar, no trade dispute. Just the story of two Jedis losing their friendship as the Galactic republic crumbles all around them.
+Ex0dus111 I don't think thats available.
Ex0dus111 Ill have a look around, literally would make 1st epp so much better...
Obi-Wan has lost,
his master, Qui Gon
his brother, Anakin
his love, Satine
his friend, Ahsoka
and the rest of the Jedi.
But he never lost himself to the dark side.
Alec Guiness was incredible in this film.
Too bad he hated it.
FrootLewpz Actually he didn't "hate it" but the disliked the fact that he was known more from Star Wars than from his previous films.
He did hate it and with good reason ... its pablum.
People think he hated it and demanded that was character be killed off. It's wrong, George Lucas said in an interview that Alec wanted his character to live, but Lucas decided to kill the character because he served no purpose after they arrived at the rebel base.
after many interviews with alec he pretty much said he didnt give a shit about the movie lol
Sometimes is not about the amount of editing and effects. This video was the first from the Obi-wan PTSD series and to this day is still the most powerful one.
That moment at :37 when Obi-wan has to take a second to think. Now no one knew the actual back story about Vader yet, so, kudos to Alec for doing a good moment for his character to, as best as the story knew yet, "soft pedal" Anakins fate.
Jon Ericson That is the best part of this amazing video.
Jon Ericson "That moment at :3" hahaha
He was a fucking brilliant actor.
The "i hate you " scene gets me every time
IEA10 "he was a good friend"
*shows scene of him yelling I HATE YOU*
FUCK THIS IS A GOOD EDIT
still to this day. this video hits me in the feels.
the choice of music, and the timing in the editing.. brilliant
I always loved the tone in his voice as he says “Before the dark times... before the Empire.” He says it with a sad, sickened, regretful disdain. Shame, even. The word “empire” itself inspires images of some glorious society, rich and powerful beyond one’s wildest dreams. But Obi-Wan knows it’s all an illusion of grandeur, because he saw exactly how all of that “glory” was obtained. Peace obtained through war. Security obtained through oppression. Prosperity obtained through deception. He knows the Empire was built on a foundation of complacency, secrecy, murder, and lies.
If Obi-Wan was Leia’s only hope, Luke was Obi-Wan’s only hope.
Well said!
It was an empire based on the credo of the Sith; Power and dominance at any cost.
Who's been cutting space onion in here?
Not me, I just had a bit of... space dust in the eyes... that's nothing, really.
Redcrosse Knight 😆😆😆
Redcrosse Knight get it space.
The tonal shift with the music at 0:37 is where it really hits home.
the old obi-wan the best acting in star wars ever
Mads Jensen young obi wan the second best actor
Vince Frings That's right man
I love how Ewan made his Obi-Wan really close to Alec Guiness one, but also he added some new flavors.
You single handedly made me appreciate the prequels more, in under 2 minutes than George Lucas could through 3 films
I used to think te prequels were funny...now revenge of the sith seems nothing but sad
+Nikolai For better or for worse, it was a genuine tragedy. None of the horrors in episodes 4-6 would've happened if Anakin had made the right choices.
"How did my father die?"
Without dignity.
+wildcardsniper Kevin Murphy is the best
"I HATE YOU!!!" - anakin skywalker
+Eddy BEANIE Rey MY FAV SW MOVIE
+White Knight No he's actually a good actor, if you watched the other movies you can tell Jedis are supposed to sound mono tone, and some what emotionless. Well mostly Lucas's fault.
+Deano0k Ewan mcgregor did a great job anyway
The original scene in A New Hope is one of the best deep lore building scenes in any fantasy movie ever. The layers of acting that Alec Guinness put into it really paid off.
Obi has seen some shit
Even the smelliest of shits can be turned into gold in the right hands.
+Curt Baboon Editing is magic. Unfortunately Lucas can't direct or edit.
+RedShoulderReviews Yeah, he did such an awful job directing A New Hope... oh wait... (but I get what you're saying).
The prequels weren't really that bad
+itai alter George Lucas actually didn't get %100 of a say when it came to the original trilogy. Sure, he was the director, but most of his decisions were convinced to be differently from others.
+SquirtleTime They were. They were terrible. Bad dialogue, characters, tone, bad effects, introduced dozens of plotholes.
They could not have cast better actors for Obi-Wan in both 1-3 and 4-6.
ikr
***** yea
Truuuuu
Wow you do know that Obi Wan was the the one thing pretty much everyone agreed on being good in the prequels, like literally the only thing
Zack Sisson ikr
This is still the best one of these. You don't saturate it with too many clips of the prequels like the others have.
Less is indeed more.
It’s a great choice to avoid using audio in the cutaways except for the final one, which permeates into his current present.
What I really love about this video is that in Episode 4 that scene really doesn't hold much weight. It explains the backstory but there's no actual dramatic feel to it. Put the said music and the flashbacks to it and the scene is completely transformed into a feel-trip of epic proportion.
You were my brother Anakin!
I loved you!
*Burning* I HATE YOU!
You were the chosen one!
It was said you would destroy the Sith, not join them!
You were my brother Anakin. I loved you.
Alec Guinness remains awesome even after his death. The Force is strong with him.
Sir Alec Guinness. Such a talented actor. Love the way its edited with the score from the leftovers.
This is beautiful!
Lucas was destroyed by rabid fans who mourned their childhood by hating the prequels. So he sold it, and now Disney will keep on making reboot movies like ep. VII., without any creative power or will. That is so tragic.
+Gasssolo You might be forgetting how awful 90% of the dialogue was between Obi-Wan and Anakin in episode III. This video takes strong imagery and meshes it with a strong performance by Sir Alec Guinness, but without the selective editing we'd be hearing stuff like "I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND" and "FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE JEDI ARE EVIL". The prequels have some real gems, but you have to sift through at least 70% garbage to find the high points.
Episode VII is mostly high points. There's nothing wrong with a reboot film, but VII takes it further by making it a continuation rather than a hard reboot.
Yup
If you read the art book of the Force Awakens, they were going to do something different but decided to play it safe in the first one because fans like you would say that didn't feel like Star wars, no matter what the plot end up being Trolls were going to nitpick the movie, Lucas did great things in the Prequels but they still bad Movies overall
+Say What Again i Dare you i Double Dare you! SPOILER ALERT
I didn't like the force awakens not because of Hans death but they blew up corusent or how ever you spell it and kylo Ren's actor
Super HardCore Pariot That wasn't even that planet kid LOL, and Kylo Ren was Awesome... I love the movie
Pepperidge Farms remembers-
I was waiting for someone to make this joke, was not disappointed
+Stevenclouds Damn, that's the first reference that actually made me laugh aloud
LMAO! Glad I wasnt the only one thinking this
+Lock Jaw is pepperidge farm a legit thing because i know pep farm from family guy
+Alfie Griffiths Yeah, they make Goldfish! :D
I just wonder what Alec Guinness was told while doing this scene. it's just perfect
@HARPER DODD Proof of how great of an actor he was...
I just wanted to say that it's really apparent how much you love the leftovers by the way you edited this, not just the music! The silent flashback cuts remind so much of the show SO well done!!
One of my all time favorite shows.
"He betrayed and murdered your father" -- is Obi Wan referring to Palpatine murdering Anakin's innocence or?
+BradyEvolved careful there, "there is still good in him"...
I think he was just telling the story without referencing Anakin as Darth Vader, for story
+la flame
Luke understood that, but Obi-Wan and Yoda had given up on Anakin.
+Lets Read! It makes no sense because George Lucas never had thought about the prequels before. New Hope was suppose to be a stand alone film then become a trilogy and then became a prequel.
+Lets Read! He's trying to trick Luke into killing his father.
I can't be the only person to have saved this to their favourites?
I just went seeking this video to do just that.
This is really amazing. And SW have much more potential for creations like this. I hope you do some more.
+Blackcrame I definitely will try!
YOU WILL TRY.
Do or do not. There is no try.
+BrickNGames lol
Shahan Reviews Do a lotr version of this or even a batman one :)
I watch this every so often because it's still the most beautiful edit in the history of anything. I cry like a youngling everytime but man it's worth it.
Thanks for the kind words Kithra.
I don't think the prequels had this much emotional weight until now
+Victor Soto
They uh didn't. They were almost devoid of emotion. Its Old Man Alec's superb acting lending the emotional weight.
Thats what i'm saying lol, this scene really gave the prequels the emotions they needed
Cloune
+Rannos22 they did
I know it wasn't planned from the beginning, but I love Obi-Wan's hesitation when Luke asks about his father.
What wasn't planned?
BuilderBoy the original twist for empire strikes back was that Obi Wan killed Luke's father.
Just BØNY Had he trained anakin skywalker better, and had he not left him to burn and be retreated by palpatine, Anakin Skywalker would’ve never become Dark Vador (thus « dying »).
So in a sense, Obi Wan did kill Luke’s father... from a certain point of view.
@@justbny9278 which is kinda true
This is likely the best fan edit of all time. You truly feel and understand how all-encompassing his defeat and the defeat of the Jedi was. Ben has lost everything: his history, his brother, his ideals. You truly understand how Anakin's betrayal has broken him: there really is no Obi-Wan Kenobi anymore, just Ben. Just like there is no Anakin Skywalker anymore, just Vader. Simply brilliant.
Thank you! It's one of the videos I'm most proud of making. Seeing people enjoy it always makes me grateful. You have no idea how much it means to me, seriously.
I didnt get my parents permission to go on a feels trip whats this (ಥ_ಥ)
Where' is Padme? Is she SAFE? IS SHE ALRIGHT?
+Bengalsfan9595 NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+David Wilkins I'm sorry sir can you repeat that? Did you say no fries?
A bit rusty on my history here - didn't Lucas come up with the idea of Vader being Luke's father only after A New Hope was released?
No he planned it. Vader means father in German
+Jordan Cannon it's actually Dutch, Vater is German
+Eli Harel No. I think it's just the Princess Leia sister idea came after ESB.
+Eli Harel Don't listen to anyone here, literally every twist and turn in the Star Wars trilogy (which probably wasn't intended to be a trilogy, no matter what Lucas says) was made up on the spot.
+Eli Harel That and Leia wasn't Luke's long lost twin sister.
Obi-Wan has PTSD from having to be in the Prequels.
I love the way how it cuts back to Alec Guinness face but you here Ewan McGregors voice at the end
That was a really powerful scene for me
I want a remake of the prequels
If they for some reason remake them better writing is a must
yes, the actual story is really good just wasn't done right and if someone was to remake them in a better way i think it would be good
+frank jones I want to forget the prequels ever existed. And now we have episode VII to deal with... Urgh...
Andres Montiago You mean apart the fact that it was made by Jar Jar Abraams and is basically a remake of Episode IV disguised as a sequel?
the prequels are honestly not that bad
but people just hate on them
this gets harder and harder to watch the more you watch it, i've seen it 6 times now :'( FEELS
IKR
+. dkr
Same I keep watching it even tho it hits my feels hard
+Micaiah Flores Checkout "The Walking Dead" and "Eastside" videos by SLIMSKYVIEW on TH-cam
Obi Saw some shit...I used to think the scene was an old man spacing out but it's more relative to the thousand yard stare that soldiers get
Yes guys Alec did an amazing job, no doubt! But imo Ewan McGregor made an excellent job aswell, this whole scene in Episode 3 always touches me! He and also Hayden did some great acting on mustafar!
On Mustafar nowhere else
Bob Jenkins bullshit!
Scoopa No Ewan did great I was talking about Hayden. He only did well on Mustafar
Bob Jenkins So, why do you think so?
Scoopa It may have been some of his lines as well, but Anakin is a very emotional character, and the way he portrayed his emotions (up until the very end of ROTS) wasn't very genuine. When angry he just put on a sort of mad face and kept this same whiny tone it wasn't really convincing. Then when flirting with Padme the way he talked and presented himself was just creepy. In film there are very few times when Anakin seems laid back or relaxed. I know that Anakin is supposed to be a serious character but when showing happiness, excitement, or humor he has this sort of tenseness to him that makes the emotion less genuine. Though I am not a huge fan of his acting don't get me wrong I did love the prequels as they are what I grew up with.
I just love how Sir Alec Guinness did this scene as if he knew what happened in the prequels that weren't even a thought yet. Although this video does kind of enhance it
great video, but I just got on little tinny problem with it and that is scene where Ben says Anakian was a good friend. you could have used a clip showing Anakian when he was still a good man.
His name is Anakin
+Martin Guzman The point is to show the betrayal that happened, to further illuminate the pain that obiwan felt when anakin betrayed and tried to kill him.
OrderMan that's the way it came out in my spellckeck.
it's shows how much obi wan was hurt by Anakin and how much denial he feels
+Martin Guzman Just letting you know :)
You were the OG man. All these imitators show too much and linger too long. Yours was perfect and you’re an amazing editor.
Aye. Perhaps some of the cutaways are a bit too on-the-nose and could've done with more obscurity and subtlety, but Star Wars has never been subtle, so who cares?
You think GL just came up with "Clone Wars" off the top of his head, or was there a bigger picture in mind the whole time?
When he first said the clone wars did anybody before the prequels were made think what it looked like and how it all happen you hear it but don't see it until 2002-2005 1999 told the story how obi wan Meet aniken how aniken meet padame and R2 and how he build c3po then finally attack Of the clones show you the war
Nah, he just decided to start from episode 4 for shits and giggles
He started writing Episode I in November of '94, eleven years after "Return of the Jedi".
I wish a lot more movies made you feel the way this does. I wasn’t around for the OT but I bet people just wondered in awe of how the clone wars actually were, and how cool that sounds. I can’t imagine how fans reactions were to the first reveal of the prequels were. Star Wars is truly amazing
The more times i watch this video, the more depressing it becomes... Realizing how truly devastating Anakin's fall to the dark side was to Obi Wan... How much it broke and scarred him... and how much pain it caused him to remember, and having to hide the truth from Anakin's own son...
*REQUESTED SPOILER WARNING* last time i cried this much with a Star Wars scene was when Kylo killed Han...
amazing how much a scene's meaning changes with editing like this...
Why the fuck would you spoil something like that?!? No warning or anything
because half the internet has seen the movie already? i mean its a star wars vid, im sure everyone here has seen the movie by now... look i'll edit the comment but geez, no need to freak...
+Shogun junsghow If you havent seen the movie by now then you don't deserve to be called a Star Wars fan. So no fucking offense, but grow the fuck up... its not a spoiler after the movie has been out for over a month.
that's why the prequels make me so mad. There's the potential for an absolute masterpiece there. But they're just so goddamn poorly done.
I really liked that animated version of The Clone Wars, where Anakin found out his destiny.
Still hits you in the feels.
The last ten seconds with that thousand yard stare gives me chills every time. Incredibly well edited.
Feels train too powerful...gotta get off
"He was the best star pilot in the galaxy"
"Hold on Anikin you're going to get us both killed"
"Well have you notice the shields are still up?"
"What took you so long?"
"Anakin! How many times have I told you to… stay away from power couplings!"
+Merchant Ivory (filmstudent) Perhaps over the years he grew to better appreciate how good of a pilot Anakin really was. Wisdom tends to come with age ya know.
Obi Wan was worried in those situations. But by this point, he realizes that Anakin wasn’t a reckless pilot, he was a great pilot that knew what he was doing.
And he was a good friend
+Orenar and a cunning warrior
Nobody show this to George. He'll change it again.
+Perri Jinacio He can't Sold Star Wars to Disney for 4 Billion Dollars. Only a Consultant now. Upset he sold it, complains after the new movie made a billion dollars.
+Dan B People forget that George pioneered massive special effects in the cinema industry. This was of course later evident during the Prequels when he used a lot of CGI, it would be like Alexander Graham Bell discovering that cell phones exist. He geeked out
+Ben Harder Also revolutionized video games with Lucas Arts
+Dan B I understand being irritated with things Lucas has done, but it's gotta be in the same breath as being thankful he created that world in the first place or else it makes no sense. No Lucas, no Star Wars, period. Even the most grandiose Marcia Lucas-Irvin Kershner-Gary Kurtz-are-responsible-for-everything-good-in-Star-Wars can't counter that fundamental point.
k lol
How the fuck did Obi-Wan go from Ewan McGregor to That old in like twenty years?!
+Crimson Gamer pain and dry desert air
+Crimson Gamer ~ Well, if you go by the actors' ages, McGregor was 28 when TPM came out, so Obi-Wan would be 41 in ROTS, then 19 years later, in ANH, he would be 60, and Guiness was only 63 when ANH came out, which isn't that far off. So yeah, to answer your question about how he got to be that old: its called natural aging with time.
+Crimson Gamer Ask George.
+Thomas Parry According to Wookieepedia, 57. Not too far off of your estimate. And not too bad for a guy who lived in a cave on Tatooine for half that time.
+Crimson Gamer there is an good and subtle explanation for that in the excellent Kenobi novel by john jackson miller. someone is talking to ben as he is working on his house, saying to him put on a hood or else the two suns would leave him unrecognizable in few years, and so he does it. Later, when that person is leaving ben keboni's house, he looks back, and notices ben looking to the sky and then taking off his hood.
This is seriously incredible. I keep coming back to this video again and again. I can't tell you how many times I've watched it over the years. Splendid.
Thanks for the kind words Hugh. I'm glad you like it.
