People who parody Mauler are too lazy to actually commit and watch his f*cking videos to know how to actually parody him, and instead just parody points people on Twitter say Mauler makes.
And let's not forget that the white man is the one who gets the white girl in the end, 'cause god forbids a black man would be making out with a white woman. Or a yellow woman for that matter, but that's no longer god's problem, that's Beijing's ^^
ATAT "Why doesnt the Empire just bomb the rebel base?" Me quoating General Veers "The shield is strong enough to deflect ANY BOMBARDMENT." This guy clearly didnt watch the movie...
he also missed the part that they explain a gap inbetween movies so it was set up that the empire did reel and there was some chaos from their angering the senate only to lose the planetoid gun pointed at their heads but they still had the strength, more than enough really, to crack down on some small guerilla band.
Ultimately, because it wouldnt matter in the longrun. By the time the Shield was down the Empire already has infantry on the ground, General Veers walkers, Countless SnowTroopers, and multiple scout walkers, at that point bombardment is illogical and ultimately they might as well just take the base. If they tried to bombard it they run the risk of killing their own men at that point. Usually in a combat sceneiro, even in real life ones, particularly in WW2, if you cant bomb it and have to use infantry instead, then your never gonna bomb it, its pointless.
"The Batmobile is literal perfection." "It will be, when it blasts through a red light, kills a family of four and crashes through the wall of the local Home Depot."
Throwback to when the Empire was just a bunch of normal, level-headed military men instead of rabid frothing-at-the-mouth maniacs that shouted every single line of dialogue.
Yeah on the old movies they were acting like a government. First movie even made it clear they would just have the planet's governors would have direct control instead of a stupid ass Senate that went nowhere.
I actually hate what he's done to parody, and I find it insulting to the history of literature itself. The first major parody in European literature was also its first modern novel. In 1605 and 1615, Miguel de Cervantes released parts 1 and 2 of Don Quixote de la Mancha, about what everyone knows as a madman who believes he is a knight, who fights battles that aren't real. Those who have passing knowledge of the text would know *why* all of this is so. Don Quixote was the first modern novel because it cared about making sense. Continuity, characters, motivations, all of it comes from Cervantes' frustration with the proto-stories that were popular at the time, which were "tales of chivalry" that didn't have any of this. The first chapters of Don Quixtote explain that he went mad because he read too many of these stories that didn't make sense and became unable to understand reality because he accepted that things just happen in order to generate an emotional response. Knights who wielded swords that ended up being lances on the next page, fighting friends and foes for no reason other than that knights exist to fight. The names of characters would not be consistent, and a child in one section could be an old woman the next they meet. A dragon on one page would become a fairy on the next. A single stroke of the sword would somehow cleave mountains. And the Hand of God could be seen everywhere, intervening on behalf of our heroes other than that of the whims of the writers. This is what the Literary Dark Ages were. This is why Don Quixote can believe that the windmills are secretly giants because he expects the turn of the page to make it so. As a parody, Don Quixote worked so well because Cervantes could write on both levels; he could construct the story that actually made sense and use Don Quixote to recreate what other stories might attempt. He practically did what others in the present do now; to write the story for the authors and create sense from nonsense. And he did it all to prove what Rags says in the present, about "How about it also makes sense? Why not put that effort in?" It's parody because it understands the source so well and can point out its flaws just by recreating it. And he changed European literature forever, and for the better. We care about our stories more because we know what happens when they don't; they revert to "holy texts" that cannot be questioned directly because of the accusations of blasphemy. They will say it is all opinion and there is no factual basis of anything and that God has graced them with the proper pedestal, not the blasphemers who dare to pick a text apart by what is actually written on it. Do not worry what the masses say, the *real critics* are here to tell you what has been ordained! The online presence of people like AT-AT exist to revert our rich cultural run of 400 years by attempting to revert this core idea back into another literary dark age. To see him attempt parody in order to revert what good parody has wrought is repulsive.
@@samwallaceart288 Oh man, you might want to give it a read at some point. They "beat" Don Quixote at the end of part II and convince him to live a normal life by propping up their own champion, the Knight of the Moon, who beats him in his own game. Cervantes really modernized fiction in this argument about "making sense" because in the end he says it is internal consistency that is necessary. We do not need to impose that things must be "real", but they have to be "the same kind of real" that the other person might believe. They make this risk to join Don Quixote in his madness to do it and succeed. This finally gets through to his head and he has to accept it, because his internal view of reality allows it to be. It gets really meta a lot like that.
Ehm... Shouldn't satire be also a form of parody ? Which would make the art of parody date back to... At least as far back as greek antiquity ? But I guess your argument may hold for modern european literature specifically ? (I'm not any kind of expert on literature, just asking)
@@nathanjora7627 Oh definitely. I'm talking about European literature. If you look at "first novel", there are many more long and complex stories that existed before Don Quixote.
@@afelias I know you were talking about european literature, that's why I mentioned greek antiquity and not... I don't know, sumer or something like that. As I've said I'm not an expert on literature so to me european literature means just literally that, so how big is the difference between "european literature" literally, and european literature as you used it ? Was there a difference or am I just really dense (which is far from being impossible, english isn't my forte and the history of literature and its different classifications, especially in other languages, isn't something I've studied either, even if we were taught the great movements in art, literature included) ?
Just now I realised ... we all know that sequels make the OT pointless, but now with ep9 even the prequels are pointless. Think about it, it's 3 movies about how Palpatine manipulated the republic to get an army and conquer the galaxy. In ep9 we find out that there is this huge cult that can build the biggest fleet in the galaxy. What was the point of all that scheming ?
The running joke I have about the sequels is that most people actually want the Empire back and that the Resistance are the secret bad guys. The head canon I wrote up is that 5 years after the RotJ,* the New Republic causes a depression because Empire contractors like Sienar Fleet Systems and Kuat Drive Yards couldn't get any work as they were deemed "collaborators" by Leia and Holdo. So, when they heard the First Order was hiring shipwrights, engineers, and scientists to build the Starkiller base, they agreed because they could finally make all those blueprints like a better TIE or miniaturizing Super Laser technology. Since all these smart people invented more efficient power sources to use that minaturized tech, First Order planets became first galaxy nations because they effectively have the Star Wars equivalent to Lockheed-Martin and Heckler & Koch working for them. Meanwhile, the New Republic is run like the Soviet Army where Commissars have all the power due to political connections instead of ability. Holdo wears a dress because she's a Commissar and outranks real officers despite not technically being part of the chain of command. Said Commissars are also the ones who handle the business of ordering new gear for the Resistance, but because they don't know what actually works on the battlefield, they issue orders and designs that don't make sense, hence the Resistance bomber. It technically does the job of dropping off lots of ordinance, but isn't fit for battlefield service because people like Holdo didn't ask the right questions such as "how fast is it? How armored is it? Can a squadron provide overlapping cover fire for each other?" Such widespread incompetence causes the New Republic to become a galaxy-wide CHAZ. Thus the demand for the Law and Order of the Empire created by Sheev Palpatine created a widespread "cult" following. I thought of this because I decided on a whim to try to make sense out of Sequel nonsense. *I did not watch The Mandalorian.
"What was the point of all that scheming ?" Idk, the prequels came up with that convoluted plot - and the sequels were trying to get away from that, in case you didn't notice.
@@dragonknightleader1 "The running joke I have about the sequels is that most people actually want the Empire back and that the Resistance are the secret bad guys." Who does?
Luke does not use the Force to guide the torpedoes in the first film. The theory is only mentioned very briefly as an aside during this episode but it's a weird one for people who watched the originals when they were released. There is absolutely no way anyone would have thought Luke was using telekinesis 1977. The targeting computer is essentially depicting the equivalent of second war bomb site. It's there to tell them when to press the trigger. Obi-Wan tells him to trust his feelings rather than the targeting computer. Luke doesn't guide the torpedoes, he just fires them when his instincts tell him it is the right time to do it. It's a scene about someone trusting their own experience, skill and judgement rather than doing what a computer tells them to do. Luke as the film points out has been hitting similar sized targets all his life. It's that training and him opening himself to the Force that guides him into releasing the torpedoes at exactly the right moment. After that it's just like the WWII combat that Lucas transferred into space, the torpedoes are unguided. It is human ability and spirituality doing something that the computer failed to do. It's a motif that hit home with a late 1970's audience, which had very different experiences of computers and technology to anyone who watched the prequels as children, let alone the sequels. He absolutely isn't nudging the torpedoes into the exhaust port with the Force. No one would have thought that at the time because they hadn't seen Empire. They'd never seen a Jedi call his saber to him or move anything with the force. It was relating to the concerns of the time. Automation was costing people jobs. Computers were starting to appear in the work-place but were slow, unreliable, difficult to use and the province of a very few highly trained nerds. It was about turning the machine off, and trusting yourself, the old ways (the Jedi protected the Republic for millennia) and your connecton to life and nature (the Force). Obi-Wan is a spiritual warrior monk, not a "space wizard". You've also got to remember that the Lucas of 1977 is an independent film maker struggling under oppressive yoke of the studio business men who have funded the project. Turning off the computer (corporate) advice and trusting his own (artistic) instincts would have had rather more significance for him than his hero guiding the torpedoes with magic powers.
1:48:55 Luke did not use the force to guide the missiles into the Death Star. he used the force to know WHEN to fire. i commented on this on another video, but up it comes again. he talks earlier about it not being impossible to hit a target that small (hitting womprats), and another pilot gets very close. it is unreasonable and illogical to send out a bunch of fighter pilots with the hope that one of them might be force sensitive to get the torpedoes in. Luke turns off his targeting computer, connects with the force, then fires. he is then immediately relieved, knowing he fired at the right time, all before we see the torpedoes go into the exhaust port. the torpedoes do their job when fired at the right time. please stop making this point.
I always viewed it as Luke using the force to assist with his aim, not the timing of firing the missiles, since it was his targeting computer that he switches off. Either way, I agree with your overall point. Luke did not guide the missiles with the force. He can barely call his lightsaber to him at the start of Empire, so he definitely doesn't have the ability to move objects that are under thrust in ANH.
Also the little visualization of the mission they make during the Yavin briefing clearly shows that the torpedoes are intended to be fired parallel to the Death Star surface, as they’ve been programmed to arc 180 degrees. It’s not an ideal method in the slightest for firing them down a tiny hole, but obviously this is a desperate do-or-die situation where they’re having to make do with what they have. Y’know, since unlike the Resistance they don’t have a n e n t i r e g a l a c t i c r e p u b l i c behind them.
@@HasekuraIsuna the interpretation is either that the torpedoes were designed to make that turn (however goofy that is), or that the Y-wing pilots and Red leader were all known force users of the rebellion. The only way to decide which is to take into account all of the remaining evidence of the film. In favour of the 90 degree turn (or to put it another way, torpedoes that didn't require the force to guide them), we have: - the briefing scene. Pilot says it's impossible to hit the target, and Luke claims he did it back home all the time - the other pilots all using targeting computers to make their shot. They clearly believe that the technology will work and they are not banking on a literal miracle. - the briefing scene again. As the comment above already states, the briefing shows the missile trajectory bending 90 degrees. In favour of all the pilots using the force: - .....? I have nothing, and their reliance on the targeting computers when our only known force user makes his shot without it kind of proves that they don't have the force.
About the 'what about Darth Vader getting his head cut off' argument: I've watched a couple of video's of the fight. The shot ATAT's talking about is almost impossible to reproduce. All I see is a flash of light (how bright depends on the version), sparks and Darth Vader's shoulder getting hurt. I also rewatched Shadiversity's video on the fight, he didn't notice it either. So either ATAT is lying or it's a too tiny a shot too actually notice - which means it's nowhere near as bad as the disappearing knife.
It's really not that hard to get the frame he shows, I slowed down Shads video to .25 and used the . key to advance frames and got it. It's technically a mistake but they clearly show sparks on Vaders shoulder pad and he grabs it in pain after the flash indicating it didn't hit his neck.
@@BaldorfBreakdowns I completely forgot about that function, thanks for clearing that up. Still, you might wonder how many people would go to such lengths to highlight such a thing.
Never in my life did I think that the sentence "I saw a shocking graph about the decline in banana numbers" would send me into hysterics but Drinker sure proved me wrong. Also, "Fear Flashes" has the same energy as "Surprise Mechanics."
"If Empire came out today people would hate it." You know what disproves this... people who have never seen the OT watching it for the first time today. I have seen Kids and people who have just never watched Star Wars, watch the OT and they will say they love it. Now kids tend to find Empire slower than the other two, but they def dont hate it. Especially the Hoth Scene.
And y'know what's funny? Most people who are just now watching Star Wars while stuck at home are loving the prequels as well. Take that, Disney defenders!
I've been watching a lot of reaction videos. Most movies from the 70s and 80s are enjoyed by the 20 some thing viewer. Not just Americans either, I've seen a few African guys, and an Indian.
@@dirus3142 im in my 20s. My ex had not seen a bunch of the classics from the 70s and 80s. Indiana Jones, Star Wars, ghostbusters. Etc. We watched all of them together. She loved them. Theyre classics for a reason. You can argue that we over rate cinema from the past because we only remember the good stuff but we cannot argue the classics are not good.
@Phimosis Jones What's weird is that all of this guy's comments on efap have been negative and incorrect, so he's a troll, right? But at the same time, he's subscribed to mauler AND mooler. What a weird-mun.
Well yeah, that's because Mauler's good at parodying. His April fools TROS video was so spot on, the people parodied in it thought he was making sense.
The whole “no one knows what Y-Wings are” argument always made me laugh, because there’s newer A-Wings in the same fight, and idk difficult to say as someone who is very into Star Wars, I would say the people who don’t know what a Y-Wing is, would probably also not know what an A-Wing is. But we got one and not the other, such a dumb argument
i bet any star wars fan would recognize y-wings from the first movie even if they don't know them by name. They got substantial screen time during the first death star sequence. as opposite to what they used instead, which everybody remembers as frankly just stupid looking canon fodder
It doesn't even matter. No one knew what a Y-Wing was before they watched the OT, but they were in that. I think that right there is the exact mentality that so many people approach these movies with. As MauLer mentioned in his Star Wars Cannot Grow Up video, people decide what a piece of media should have in terms of products based on how many people recognize it from a previous thing. It's the "I know what that is!" meme if it was an Infinity Stone. If people won't recognize it and fangasm, don't include it. Ships in Star Wars now don't have a strategically useful design and they're not used intelligently as per that use in order to gain an advantage in battle. They're used as props that all operate almost exactly the same in terms of "big/fast thing that blows the enemy up, sometimes combine them both" in order to get people to react to them. If a Y-Wing were to be included in a modern Star Wars movie, you likely wouldn't see a fleet of Y-Wings organizing a coordinated and well-timed bombing run on a vulnerable capital ship/Imperial base to ease the fire on their X/A-Wings. You'd see the ship model of a Y-Wing firing a torpedo to shoot down a Tie-Fighter, basically doing the exact thing an X/A-Wing does.
regarding the name of the planet Hoth, Star Wars has so many references and influences specifically from WW2 Germany and from ancient Roman history that its obvious to anyone who studied history that he took the name from German general Herman Hoth, not from simply taking the word "hot" and adding an h at the end...
4:30:04 Here in the US we have a saying that goes, "All hat and no cattle." Probably started in Texas, but it basically means you like to talk big but there's nothing behind it. If you wear a hat like a cowboy but you don't have any cattle, you're not actually a cowboy, you just like cosplaying as one.
Yeh we've got one in the UK that goes "all mouth and no trousers". Basically the same thing. Not sure of the origin, or whether its just from the UK lol.
What of you have other livestock but no cows? My uncle lives in Texas and runs a horse/donkey/mule farm and he wears a cowboy hat. Not a "ten-gallon" one tho.
Just when I thought that mental gymnastics couldn't get any crazier, EFAP reviews these gems! In all seriousness, listening to AT-AT Chat and his ilk talk about their love for the Disney Catastrophe Trilogy is quite the psychological study. It's pretty clear how and why these morons are so easily swindled. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought a hundred Disney time shares. Critical thinking really needs to make a come back if humanity is ever to grow out of its infancy.
Swindled by what into what? "Critical thinking really needs to make a come back if humanity is ever to grow out of its infancy." Critical thinking about what? Your unfounded and laughable assumption that Star Wars is supposed to have more respect for logical consistency than it does for science physics?
ATAT thinks there's no Emperor in A New Hope? Tarkin breaking the news to everyone that the Emperor just got rid of the Senate, and later, Darth Vader escaping death, meant nothing?
@@YourPrivateNightmare but at the same time none of the information was directly contradictory (movie wise, not book wise) which is why the character change doesn't have an impact on the overall narrative.
@@adulescentuluscarnifex8412 oh yeah of course, I'm just saying it's not wrong to argue from the perspective that the Emperor, as a character, didn't exist in New Hope
@@YourPrivateNightmare it is wrong to argue that point, because he is a character. He may not have an actor but he's still a character if that makes sense. He's transferring power to the military, he's commissioning death stars, he may not have the same presence as Darth Vader but they clearly establish that he's a character pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Nothing that is inconsistent from what we see in Empire.
I've found people don't pay attention when they watch movies, can't tell you how many people tell me they turn their brains off while watching a movie. What's the point of watching a movie is you're not going to pay attention?
Just went and checked out the scene where Luke "could have cut Vader's head off" and it's represented that it was more a shoulder strike and that Vader got his saber up to parry the blade back and then he immediately ended the fight.
You don't even need to answer that kind of choreography with that kind of answer. You could literally just say Luke missed. "Luke could have won here if he'd hit Vader here", yeah, but he didn't. He missed. He took a wild swing and missed
Of all this"parodies", the one that stands out the most is that Mauler doesn't spend this much time blathering on about himself and how he feels. You might even call it one of the most identifiable and PARODY-ABLE aspects of his style.
I'm prette sure that false flaging is a big no no in YT's eyes. Big enough to delete chanels for it. Someone should warn this poor fool before he gets into trouble
@@mk-tu3gv Don't you know? False flagging is okay if it's people momma Susan doesn't like. Just ask Leafy. Or Alex Jones. Or Mister Metokur. Or Sargon. Or anybody who's been deplatformed in the last three years.
ATAT Chat learns how to record and edit videos, and then suddenly he knows everything about filming and editing triple A films. The pretentiousness of this guy.
As it is said, if the apprentice gets his head above the clouds, it is the responsibility of his master to pull it down, lest he lose said head to another.
I couldn't breathe from laughter when I saw the picture of scissors after the "Where have all testicles gone? The answer may surprise you" and "It's not easy being half-human, half Brie Larson" title. Good rat.
The joke he's going for regarding "freedom fighters" is the criticism of the Resistance being called that because it doesn't make sense for them to be called that since the Republic exists. Ah, 1:21:45, Mauler figured it out as I was typing this. Yeah, he just doesn't understand the criticism, or he does and his attempt at a joke just sucks.
Reminds me of that 4.5 hrs Twin Peaks actually explained video by Twin Perfect. It received a lot of praise by his fans when the video was published in 2018, and they leave comments with recommendations and requests for commentary in so many comment sections of videos by major Twin Peaks content creators, it hurts. But at least Twin Perfect, as far as I know, doesn't point fingers at people who disagree with him and wages war against them. He just thinks he has found the perfect method to decipher the (alleged) code of Twin Peaks, and found the ultimate meaning, while he is unable to recognize that is method of proof is faulty. He and his video(s) would almost be perfect for an EFAP, if it wasn't for the video length of 4.5 hrs.
@@mr.barcode3186 I can somehow believe that. I mean, I have never checked any of his other videos out, I don't like his "I've got the ultimate answer" attitude, and I always have to sit on my hands, when I see a comment on another Twin Peaks video that goes like this "hey, check out his video, it's the holy grail." What I'm saying is they resemble a cult, and therefore I believe his fans would chase deviants and non-believers of the one true faith out.
I mean... the majority of a person's followers will usually follow in agreement with them. It's really something special when the audience turns on the presenter. They're all crazy, but it's expected.
"If Empire came out today no one would like it" that argument kills me because I had never seen Star Wars at all until early this year and I watched them in release order in isolation knowing nothing about the franchise and my first reaction was that Empire was easily the best. ROTJ second then ROTS imo, and the sequels irredeemable trash LOL
you don't like a new hope?....i liked it less than revenge of sith but more than return of the jedi so my order would go empire sith hope return in that order so I suggest skipping rewatching the other 8 star wars films after you seen them once.....i get luke and the emperor are sweet in return of the jedi an the final 1/4th is great and vader had a good final 1/4th but the rest of the film is booty to me..yes even the jabba stuff it all feels slow and weird to me and then all the han leia c3po r2 chewy lando and bobba fett ewok yoda obi wan stuff is just cringy on rewatch ....i skip most of return...not interested in it sorry..the stuff with palpatine vader and luke is all i care about..i skip the celebrations too...its all boring on rewatch...the movie relies on you not having seen it before to be interesting
Glad to hear that someone can experience Star Wars for the first time so recently and still come around to the same conclusions that a lot of longtime fans have, not to mention having enjoyed them in the first place. Speaks to the innate merits (and flaws) of each of the films, feels good man.
something i haven't seen many people mention. so snoke was a puppet of palpatine but was strong enough to form a connection between rey and kylo but palpatine still had to use holograms to communicate with vader
Almost as if JJ and Rian didn't quite think these things through or even more possible, didn't care. The need for spectical and subversion took precedence over consistent storytelling and respect for lore.
1) this is decades later, could be a newly learned power to bridge minds. 2) there could be a practical reason, like the holographic communications are recorded and can't keep records of mind bridges. 3) we don't know that Palpatine cannot otherwise communicate with Vader or anyone else, but these things do take effort, and perhaps Palpatine does not want his OWN mind bridged with Vader's.
@@bro2044 decades that Palpy has spent recovering from being vaporized....twice.... so i'm not sure he's had that much time to pull new force powers out of his arse. Another reason you don't bring very dead characters back, really. but those are still reasons not touched on in the film, they are just things that happened that you, the viewer, are supposed to justify for the lazy screenwriter, because they story needs them to happen. Which is a really bad thing for a visual medium because every time the viewer has to do that, you are forcing them out of the story on screen to think about what the hell just happened, weakening their immersion in the story itself. this is the inherent madness of trying to defend these movies this way. Even if you can belated find a justification for what happens in other material, the sheer fact that you have to have supplementary material to make sense just makes it a really bad screenplay and subsequently a bad movie.
@@petriew2018 I actually agree with everything you said, and don't say the things I did to defend the ST, moreso merely to answer possibilities to a question.
@@Sharicite I could see the attempt to make a parody because it's a basic framework filled with misunderstandings of Mauler's opinions, but he's clearly not a regular watcher or he'd understand that making a basic skeleton does not a parody make.
the amount of time he wasted on this love triangle bs when luke is leia's sister annoys me...that matters.....it was a different time so girls were more drawn to the bad boy they can change.. and the point is han has to prove to leia he deserves a high class girl like her and she gives him some feedback..she carries herself like shes a princess so most normal girls cannot relate to that anyways..we relate to han cause hes more normal...an she does not just ignore him meaning maybe she will fall for him cause through conflict and tension they get together...its very believable imo...they act like a real couple would in modern times especially...argumentative but in love...its not sugar coated fairy tale bs..
the video MauLer is talking about is "Stuntmen React To Bad & Great Hollywood Stunts" by Corridor Crew. it's only a 3 minute section of a larger video. to summerize Daisy and Adam are late on their cues. which means the stuntguys have to pause and wait, and then the main characters stop and pause to see if the stunt guys are in position to be blocked by them.
Too bad Kylo didn't keep the mask on. Then that guy would have been a stunt double and hit his marks. There's no saving Daisy though. She "mastered" the routine in a day.
It's so fucking lazy. See, a good director would take a break, get the actor's to practice their moves off camera, then try again later. But Rian's incompetent and shit at his job so it's just gotta be as rushed and poorly done as possible. It's The Johnson Way™, go with the first try, whether it's good or bad. 'Daisy mastered the whole routine in a day,' my foot. Why even bother? Why even try as a filmmaker? If Rian can make Episode 8 by putting in as much minimum effort as possible, why should the likes of Christopher Nolan, or Denis Villeneuve, or Robert Eggers, or Stephen Spielberg, or George Lucas, or whoever even try to make anything good and worthwhile. If Rian didn't fucking care, why the fuck should I?
@@Сайтамен It was to the point that Ewan and Hayden could do the routine fluently enough to not even need digital speed changes for flow, they were so practiced they could actually just do that routine that fast in a lot of places.
My favourite part of the Preatorian fight was seeing Mauler bring up his GDELB document. The timing, the choreography, the shot length. Simply amazing.
59:40 i saw a video online where a kid is watching vader reveal to Luke that he is his father; kid is absolutely shocked and his face lights up. My wife had never seen the OT. When I showed her ESB, she too looked at me like WTF, Vader is Luke's father??? She was absolutely shocked. This movie still surprises people TO THIS DAY. You have to be pretty crazy (literally insane) to think that TLJ is great AND that it measures up anywhere NEAR ESB. Funny to think Rian Johnson's twitter was lit with "hot takes" about Star Wars 2 years ago. Once his Knives Out shit came out, star wars is no where on his twitter feed. what a clown.
TLJ can inject itself with a thousand steroid injections and it still wouldn't reach Empire level in any day. It's garbage at best and vomit after eating garbage at worst.
@@庫倫亞利克 Can’t believe that people think that it’s comparable to Empire. Let’s compare Empire’s ending to TLJ’s. In the former your mind is racing over what might happen next. Will Luke finish his Jedi training? Is Vader telling the truth about being Luke’s father? How will this affect their next encounter? Who is the other hope Yoda was talking about? How will they get Han back. Contrast this with TLJ where it’s a given that the first order will be defeated somehow, and Rey will either be redeem Kylo Ren, or kill him.
Well, on the other side, th-cam.com/video/JMdrQUlnR1I/w-d-xo.html - they think it's a proper parody - I like Mauler but then his voice is very good for helping me sleep - but so far I find their lack of humour...disturbing. *squeezes fingers together whilst someone starts to cough and choke*
I don't think ATAT is arguing that more cuts make a scene better. It's even more ridiculous... I think he's trying to make the argument that 39 cuts is exactly the optimal number of cuts to make the scene great. ...And I would bet good money that had the number of cuts been, say, 12, or 20, or 53, or 65, he would have said the exact same thing. "Ah, 65, the mathematically ideal number of cuts! Bravo, a masterpiece!"
ATAT is such a special individual. He heard the argument "How is the first order so strong? Didn't their entire base get destroyed!?" And his mind countered that argument by saying "Well in ESB the rebels are somehow also on the back foot despite destroying the death star! It makes complete sense because the Empire just shrugged it off!" At no point did a synapse flare and link GALACTIC EMPIRE vs REMNANT INSURGENCY
Before I start. I’m predicting this is a video where some TLJ fan pretends to be a “fandom menace” critic and review empire with “the same depth as they do to TLJ” and through lying and out of context moments make it seem like... If the fandom menace was being honest they wouldn’t like empire and thus can be dismissed” They forget that empire works where TLJ doesn’t mostly because empire is a part 2 and TLJ is a part 8 but world building is a foreign concept to them
@Lauren Masters Think of all the popular movie franchises that have had horribly bad modern sequels, remakes or reboots. Terminator, Aliens, Predator, Independence Day, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm street, just to name a few. It's very difficult to continue a franchise for this long and not pump out an inferior product. To think Star Wars is immune to this while being owned by a mega corporation and being fundamentally changed through universe mechanics, lore and character development, is just ignorant and idiotic.
If im not mistaken, the battle was to shut down air defences that hoth had, and that the barrier was shielding the power generator powering the air defences
Y'know... if you didn't tell me the video about ESB wasn't parody, I'd assume it to be the same as his other vids because putting it back to back with his actual ones, there's hardly any difference.
No shit, this guy has a video that claims Reylo was set up perfectly (he uses that exact fucking word) in TFA. I didn't make the mistake of watching it, just wanted to throw that out there.
1:38:59 For future reference a tundra is frozen ground that gets warm enough in the summer to prevent year round build up of ice (e.g. siberia), and an ice cap is a massive build up of ice (e.g. antarctica or greenland), a glacier is an "ice river" of sorts and flows downhill very slowly (e.g. many mountain ranges), they can be pretty big but not to the point of being a climate in-and-of-themselves like an ice cap. An ice cap would be a "cold desert" due to the low precipitation caused by the air being to cold for clouds, funnily enough. These are generally labelled polar climates to avoid confusion with hot deserts like the middle east or colder non-iced over deserts like the gobi.
To what Nerdrotic said at 8:42:00 roughly about californian forest fires we had a similar problem in Australia where the maniacs were blocking backburning and 3 states burned down.
The line from Obi-Wan in A New Hope can justify pretty much all force powers provided they wouldn’t have been useful in the prequels when there are Jedi everywhere. For those who don’t remember, the script is as follows: Obi-Wan: Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. Luke: You mean it controls your actions? Obi-Wan: Partially. But it also obeys your commands. It’s vague enough to me anything, but when grounded to reality it makes sense as an extension of a person’s abilities. If you can pick something up and through it then the force can let let you do that without having to touch it. Most people can’t pick up hundreds of rocks at once. Also most people can’t perform necromancy either. Force lighting is the only force power in the OT that doesn’t make sense but the Sith are kinda into their dark magic and evil shit so it’s not too bad especially after the prequels and expanded flesh out the Sith more.
As lightsaber fights go most of my favorites involve Darth Maul. The Phantom Menace fight is really good and two of his fights in clone wars were spectacular; namely when he and his brother fought Obi-Wan (with some help from Hondo) and when he and Savage fought Sidious. A lot of Clone Wars' lightsaber duels were really good looking back on them
“How are you the underdogs when you have all the power?” Good question! One might see the parallels to our own world there. Almost like these writers project their real-life victimhood derangement onto their films.
"But we cant critique the OT...they started it all" I think this stems from the counter-argument to why Snokes origins matter in the sequeel trilogy and why Emperor Palpatines origins doesn't matter in the Original trilogy. Except that they oversimplified the argument and applied it to the entire trilogy
Again, let's imagine a Sequel Trilogy to the Lord of the Rings where a new bad guy never talked about before suddenly shows up, undoes everything the Fellowship and Aragorn accomplished and brought back Sauron without a proper explanation. That's how Snoke feels like.
@@DeepEye1994 and Rey is someone who randomly pops up on Return of the King, takes the ring from a broken and defeated Frodo and Sam, and finishes their job with ease
Which is stupid. All we want is consistency-Snoke is old enough that he was clearly around while the events of the OT were happening, and it creates a contradiction. We can accept that it's possible, but we need something to explain this since it's apparently building a part of the story we've never seen before. Just killing him off, like RJ did, doesn't remove the fact that there's a story contradiction there, it just ensures that the contradiction will never be explained. If the villain of the whole trilogy had just been Kylo Ren, we could have accepted it-a younger man who rose into prominence and gained dark-side mastery after the fall of the Empire doesn't contradict anything.
I just don't understand why no one sees how bad that disappearing blade scene is. The disappearing blade is the 3rd chance to kill her that the guard had in as many seconds. First, the disappearing blade slashes her abdomen (or would if he was actually trying to kill her) then she falls and, instead of stabbing her on the ground or following momentum to slash her from face to...not face, he picks her up with the hand he has past her guard and ready to slash her in the face! Only then does the blade at her kidney disappear!
So 2-3 years have past since ANH and ESB and Luke has basic understanding of the force trough Obi Wan. In ANH Darth Vader strangles people through the force, which is a telekinetic ability. So pulling a light saber out of the snow is not a new force power pulled out of nowhere, it's also a telekinetic ability. Also Luke had enough time in between movies to get a grasp of the basics of the force. Seems a pretty okay explanation from what is in the movies. Also I don't mind Force Skype calls per se, since Leia and Luke could communicate through the force, so it's an extension of that ability of sorts, caused by the mind probing of Kylo on a Jedi. Only the passing of physical objects through it can't be rationally explained and would require explanations.
Also I believe that all instances of communication in the OT happen with all actors in the, relative, same area. Luke contacts Leia while hanging off of Cloud City which they had just left and Vader makes contact with Luke while he is on a Star Destroyer currently pursuing the falcon. It is not light years of distance like in the sequels.
Would have been much stronger if Luke instead used a loop of utility cable to lasso it (using the Force to nail the shot in the pinch where the Wampa starts moving). Then, when Luke learns telekinesis from Yoda, it fits in with the idea that Yoda is broadening Luke's horizon for what the Force is / can be / can do. Even more, when Luke recovers his saber at Cloud City, it's a setup-payoff dynamic. On top of all that, the utility cable and use of the Force would tie back to where we left off with Luke in the original film. Also, nothing in the film says that it's been 2-3 years. In fact 1-2 years is a naturally more reasonable reading, because they've been on adventures in the meantime, but Solo owes a major debt to the kind of people that break your legs when you're 12 months late on $20,000.
Okay, I got a challenge for the Whataboutism-obsessed apologists: Find me in the OT and even in the PT, anything that is remotely like Anakin Skywalker's Force Ghost not doing anything while Luke raises his weapon on his sleeping nephew and then continuously doing nothing while Ben talks to his molten Vader mask. The fact TLJ establishes that Force Ghosts can interact with the physical world makes it even worse. Ah, and also find me something equivalent to Rose and Finn jeopardizing the mission because they didn't fucking PARK correctly.
Obi-Wan sat down on a log in Return of the Jedi. But that's one of the minor flaws in the OT which don't take away from the story itself. The original Star Wars movie already sets everything up including possible Force abilities. But contrary to what the sequels and to an extent the prequels show us, the Force wasn't a superhero power that made its user godlike or something. The Force was originally more connected with the strength of the human spirit, which is inherently more powerful and ressourceful than any piece of technology no matter how large and destructive it might be. Vader speaks about "the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force," and Luke destroys the Death Star after Obi-Wan tells him to switch off his computer. Star Wars is a really well written story, with the power to inspire and lift the human spirit.
@@MarvinFalz i always assumed Obi Wan just simulated sitting down to be at Luke's level during a confidential talk. I do agree with the rest of the comment and if I was in charge of the ST I would've tried to go for that approach more, especially since my Sequels would've been set a thousand generations later and the new characters are rediscovering the Force.
@@DeepEye1994 Ah, I haven't seen it that way. And why not? It's a difference whether he makes himself appear to be standing, walking and sitting down, or if he actually grabs a light sabre or whatever and uses it. Thanks for that insight! Interesting approach! I've seen a video by Thor Skywalker in my recommended yesterday, where he asks for ideas how the sequels should be rewritten.
@@MarvinFalz High five, Thor Skywalker is the man! I personally would've done a single "A Star Wars Story" movie dedicated to show how Luke, Leia, Han and the galaxy as a whole is doing decades later after ROTJ, but other than that I would've left the Skywalkers in peace in the other films. Tho if in this alternate universe people like the post-ROTJ spinoff film and Mark Hamill is up for it, I'd continue the story with Luke still kicking around with the new characters. As for my ideal Sequel Trilogy, the main conflict would've been a new Light Side vs Dark Side and a Grey Area Force users in the middle. My Jedi would be heroes that fail but want to do the right thing, my Dark Side users might be bad people but with some noble/intriguing aspects in their personality, whereas the Grey Area anti-heroes are the more complicated and are probably the ones that suffer the most by the end of it because they can barely stick together. In the first episode the new characters are introduced, in the second we see how they gather their own armies and escalate the conflict, and then the third movie would be the final showdown. I thought it'd be interesting if in the beginning the Grey Area Force Users are the more united group, but as the story goes on the new Jedi and Sith get stronger and more united while the Grey Area Force Users increasingly become more dysfunctional in the midst of things getting larger scaled between Light and Dark (who knows, maybe a Grey Area character regrets their past actions and join the Jedi to seek redemption, or they want more power and join the Sith) until they fall apart. Or maybe in their obsession of coming on top they become a bigger threat and the Light and Dark side users must join forces to stop them.
@@DeepEye1994 Okay, that sounds like the larger context in the storyworld, where different factions relate to each other in the way you want to describe them. As I understand your outline, the personal motivations and decisions of your characters to act are connected primarily with them being Force-Users in their respective faction. What seems to be missing are personalities, humans who interact with other humans in a human way, but I'm sure you have already thought some personalities up. :) In any case, the inclusion of a third faction, which seems to be in between light and dark, is novel, as far as I know. As I write this I have to think of the three Imperial factions in the game Morrowind (basically thieves, warriors and mages), and maybe it would add some variety if the Grey Area Force faction would be something differing from the monkish Jedi and the criminal Sith.
At about 1:30 the guy's video mentioned "I'm going to state the obvious" which is a bit of a backfire. If Mauler's stating the obvious, why are defenders of the last jedi not acknowledging these obvious flaws?
And to think, the OT Star Wars would just be a pleasant memory in our heads if we didn't have these opportunistic, bitchy post-modernists trying to dismantle the past for scraps and clout. "Hmm. The originals set the bar too high. Gotta ruin them in order to fit in." Blesstisms to Mauler, Rags, and Crew for fighting the good fight. "Kill men's sense of values. ... Laugh at (Empire Strikes Back) and hold (The Last Jedi) as a great movie. You’ve destroyed Cinema. Build (The Last of Us Pt. 2) and you’ve destroyed Video Games. ... Don’t set out to raze all shrines - you’ll frighten men. Enshrine mediocrity - and the shrines are razed." - The Maulerhead by Ayn Rags
4:27:32 It took Hayden and Ewan two months of training to prepare for filming the lightsaber duel on Mustafar in Revenge Of The Sith. That doesn't include the time it took to actually choreograph and film the fight. But the time spent isn't why it's so impressive. I know, it's a hard point to comprehend for some people 🤦♂️
I finally get what Kilo meant when he told Vader's helmet "I will finish what you started." He was talking about avenging Herbert!! Well...mission accomplished.
4:33:00 "All pants, no trousers." I'm thinking this variation of the idiom means that someone's sitting in their underwear and not putting on trousers in order to accomplish the thing they're bragging about.
Around 4:18:00 Mauler wonders why the guards would attack their own boss. They're the praetorian guard. Praetorian. Their love for betraying bosses they were hired to protect is in the name itself.
3:05:50 I mean, a door that can only be opened via control panel, opening when said panel is damaged sounds like a basic safety measure to me. If it defaulted to closed, it could trap people in a room without a way to get out. (Though it does depends on the application. Defaulting to open isn't always the best thing.)
I'm starting to truly realize that some people really do think that all movies are bad in a technical sense, and that "good" writing doesn't actually exist in any meaningful capacity. That the only difference between liking a movie and disliking it, isn't the quality of writing or story craft, but ONLY the superficial things that you as an individual like about the movie. That makes me sad
@@username45739 Considering I said specifically "story craft", that is what I'm talking about when I say story craft. That is, the technical aspects that go into writing that allow it to be meaningful beyond the immediate. I'm not sure what you are trying to ask
@@username45739 well it is a TH-cam comment, not a dissertation. My point wasn't to explain those concepts, I just wanted to make the more general observation that is extant in the comment, namely that people call good the things they like. I referenced larger concepts to support that claim, because that's how language works.
I shit you not, someone in the comments section of this video tried to tell me that the prequels were unwatchable and that TLJ was a masterpiece. In the same sentence. Unironically.
8:25:58 By "Clone Wars 03", I think they meant the original Clone Wars 2D micro-series that was released in *2003,* between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. It was created by Tartakovsky (the guy who made Samurai Jack) and it was really good.
1:14:01 I think he's talking about the fact that there was no title crawl in Star Wars (in the theatrical release of 1977), thus adding it for TESB is stupid because it's a dumb thing to do, but yeah I fail to see how it's a parody of anything MauLer has ever done, it's completely random.
6:53:00 i get what rags is getting at with this, years ago i had some work to do in a mountain community up at home far removed from the rest of the community. i had to help load some stuff onto a trailer ultimately about 2 tones worth of metal by hand. individually doable but each one would make you feel it. we unfortunately did not have weapons and the wild life around us and all the dogs nearby were noisy and barking up until all of the sudden they went dead silent and we knew there had to either be a bear or wolves or some other predator in the area. despite the temporary chill we all got from that and our own dogs hair brisling up growling territorially starring into the trees we didnt have the time to be afraid we had some work left and after we finished that half ton of metal we strapped up and got outta there. latter on we got a bit of a of the jeebs from it thinking about what coulda been out there but not till later and we had the time to let it sink in.
"I can't really defend the fight scene in terms of choreography, geographical clarity, cause and effect, coherence... Well, I guess it's time to bullshit my way through a few minutes" - the video.
3:00:20 there is a theory called shield clipping, where if two shields over lap they clip through each other severely weakening ray shielding making them near useless and vulnerable, the same I believe is happening in the film with AT-AT only with the ground as what is clipping the shield
I think a novelization for one of the Prequel stories mentioned that as a weakness of Droidekas/Destroyer droids and why they weren't common. Their shields work the same way, so on uneven ground or if knocked over (as Jedi could do with the Force), their own shields would short themselves out by constantly reacting to and repelling the ground (on top of having limits to what they can repel for Blaster Weaponry)
I'm fairly certain that after the At-At goes down, the rebels run forward and plant a bomb on it. That's what the speeders shoot to cause that explosion. They cut the scene of them planting it from the film, but you see them shouting and running with it, then the speeder shot it as it flew over.
This ATCHAT guy is not as smart as he thinks he is. Parody has to be accurate to some truth. He missed that, and he wasn't lampooning any of Mauler's criticisms either. 🦏🥛/10
8:21:32 Oh hey, that's my Superchat! I vaguely remember sending that years ago. I don't think I ever actually managed to stick around long enough to hear them respond to it, but when I heard the terms "sleep sheep" and "filthy casual", they sounded familiar, then Destiny was mentioned and it rung a bell. I listened to it again and now I've taken a diversion onto memory lane. Fun times. Wherever that guy is now, I hope he disconnected from the Raid near the end and his friends got the loot he was after
First they try to bring everything down to their level, and then they try to pretend that what they defend aren't on their level after all, but actually above it, thus proving that Sequel Thumpers are either intellectually dishonest, stupid, or both.
It's both. They are both literally stupid, but also actively dishonest little weasels. They are so dumb they think they're being clever and hiding their lies when they are just exposing how stupid they are with obvious dishonesty.
I think when he talks about anyone using the lightsaber suddenly is that there were people in 1977 who thought that the beam of energy was force so only a jedi can use it.. Example of this would be burnie burns from rooster teeth.
I could see the on-off switch of a lightsaber having been some kind of internal device that only those properly in tune with the force could interact with, especially since later on it was established that Jedi must build their own sabers... but no, it’s just a button, and there is no problem with that.
@@nikoloszeloslav8570 Isn't it where they can't see/sense the crystal? Because they don't have the force, they can't sense whether a crystal is a kyber crystal or not while force users can sense it. That doesn't mean that they can't grab the crystals for themselves since the Empire were haresting crystals for themselves.
@@isplat927 in Rogue One Empire harvests kyber crystals without using force-sensetive folk to do that. So I assume Crystals can be found by commoners. But well I don't know if any of our thoughts are canonical... Dysney ya'know...

So ATAT chat thinks that because its a Dark Time for the Rebels in ESB even though they just blew up the Death Star in ANH is bad and it takes away fromtheir victory.... No its not.... It shows that the Empire is FAR MORE than just the Death Star, that they have a larger force and presence in the Galaxy than we originally thought... If i went to the Soviet Union in 1941, and blew up Moscow, would the soviet union still be there? Yes because it was far larger than just Moscow....It Would take a lot mlre effort to take down the Soviet Union than just Moscow....thats the same case with ANH.....thats such a strawman arguement.....
I think part of this is due to the first movie... actually being planned and written out as a one film story. Because there was no trilogy planned out when the first movie was made and the first film becoming such a success was a huge shock to everyone involved. So yes, while thinking that destroying one super weapon could really end the regime of a GALACTIC empire who had been ruling the GALAXY well before this weapon was operational is silly... that is a bit what the end of the first film suggested... because that’s where the story was originally suppose to end. Good guys won, bad guys lost.
It's also similar to how even after they killed the emperor the empire was still around but just under generals and people under him who took control. Which basically also led to their downfall
I'd just like to mention that ANH literally shows that Vader survived and escaped the battle. So even with just ANH as context, the fight is clearly not over. We just see that good guys can win and almost certainly did. Eventually. Empire simply follows up on that and does so pretty damn well.
3:00:26 The ARMOR is too thick for blasters. Presumably, shots to the neck can do the job, but while they are mobile and fighting, they are difficult to shoot in the neck.
Doubt you'll ever see this, but I just felt like putting my two cents in on the AT-AT battle on Hoth. I might be able to offer some explanations for why the AT-AT would be created. I am a huge fan of the Star Wars EU, so all of my explanations will come from there. I dont know if this mixes with Disney's canon because I have no interest in it, but in the EU vehicles fly due to repulsor lifts. In a situation where the repulsors are disabled due to technology or extreme weather that could damage the repulsor, it would make sense to have a vehicle that does not rely on repulsion. In that instance the AT-ATs would be an option. Plus these are large troop transports, so they would be very effective ferrying your ground troops into battle to destroy the shield generator. They are also scary as heck. In the EU the Empire built weapons to be more demoralizing than necessarily practical. All vehicles and ships were built to adhere to the Tarkin naval doctrine. The main gist was to terrify the enemy so much that they would never dare stand up against you. So they made a lot of vehicles that filled the enemy with a sense of dread and hopelessness if you saw it on the opposite end of the battlefield. Now for the scene where the AT-AT is blown up. If you listen carefully you hear Luke say "That armor is too strong for blasters." Meaning there are not shields, it is protected by strong armor only. If you watch the full scene when it falls you can see the plates around the body fly out away from it. Openings would be made for the speeders to shoot at weaker areas that had previously been covered by the armor. Therefore the speeders can now blow up the AT-AT by hitting the newly made weak spots in the armor. As to why the AT-AT pilots may not have stopped moving, it might be because until the tow cable is completely released from the speeder there is plenty of slack in the cable. It is not really restricting the movement of the legs much when you watch the part where Wedge is feeding the cable around it. It only constricts when it is detached from the speeder. Speeders have been flying all around, strafing and being a general nuisance so far, so none of the actions taken by the speeders would seem out of the ordinary to the AT-AT pilot. They would realize what happened too late to stop it. I know it doesn't answer everything, but I hope it was at least interesting. Love your guys stuff!
Good post. I would also add that the reason why the Rebels were using Tauntauns is because they don't lock up in severe cold like the snowspeeders would have. That's why they were not deployed to find Luke immediately before nightfall. Also, I assumed the AT-ATs were like trucks and can't stop on a dime. They're slow and lumbering, which also means stopping that much mass takes time too.
I agree with your points but if we are going to add EU, then the Empire would also still have old Clone War era Juggernaut transports which are infinitely more practical on almost all fronts except maybe the mines and frontal firepower. Maybe the wheels wouldn't work on the ice covered Hoth but thats the only in lore reason of why I can think they wouldn't use them.
@@patchmoulton5438 the legs of the AT AT actually would, they are long with a broad foot like snow shoes, snow/ice and sand/surf are really the only environments where the design makes some sense.
If only I had a million dollars, I'd give them all to MauLer just to have him speak a whole EFAP as Davy Jones. I love that impression of his and I don't know why.
1:24:45 So sad that E;R is through with the Star War. I would've loved to have one of his videos starting in a text crawl going "Everyone is dead ... lol". But he gave us the "Luke Dies" opening, so I guess we're fine.
Honestly getting to watch, or listen rather, the next day is better so you can pause and rewind and not feel like you're missing anything. I'm one of those people if I can watch the whole thing live, ill watch it later. I'm not dealing with the "fuck I have to leave" or in a situation where I cant listen on my phone.

Thank you.
This is some good shit
People who parody MauLer are too lazy to actually commit to the bit and make a 9-hour series.
They can't even do Mauler lite and make 2-3 hour vids. Pathetic
People who parody Mauler are too lazy to actually commit and watch his f*cking videos to know how to actually parody him, and instead just parody points people on Twitter say Mauler makes.
At least start with 2-3 hour one
an be accurate
i feel like real dedication is ot meme on the duration as well, and go for 15 hours+
One of my issues with the sequel trilogy, during the first movie - A white man stabs a black man in the back with a flaming cross.
LMAO oh I'm using this later
Dare say it's one of the best bits.
And let's not forget that the white man is the one who gets the white girl in the end, 'cause god forbids a black man would be making out with a white woman.
Or a yellow woman for that matter, but that's no longer god's problem, that's Beijing's ^^
Damn!
Lol
ATAT "Why doesnt the Empire just bomb the rebel base?"
Me quoating General Veers "The shield is strong enough to deflect ANY BOMBARDMENT."
This guy clearly didnt watch the movie...
But don't you get it? AT-AT Chat hates AT-ATs! /s
he also missed the part that they explain a gap inbetween movies so it was set up that the empire did reel and there was some chaos from their angering the senate only to lose the planetoid gun pointed at their heads but they still had the strength, more than enough really, to crack down on some small guerilla band.
True. Though it does raise the issue: why don't they conduct the bombardment after the shield is downed?
Ultimately, because it wouldnt matter in the longrun. By the time the Shield was down the Empire already has infantry on the ground, General Veers walkers, Countless SnowTroopers, and multiple scout walkers, at that point bombardment is illogical and ultimately they might as well just take the base. If they tried to bombard it they run the risk of killing their own men at that point.
Usually in a combat sceneiro, even in real life ones, particularly in WW2, if you cant bomb it and have to use infantry instead, then your never gonna bomb it, its pointless.
@@TheNthMouse Because Vader says "I want them alive. NO DISINTEGRATIONS!"

@@RogueFox2185 the comics still have that at least
“The shield will be down in moments; you may start your landing.”

Yeah on the old movies they were acting like a government. First movie even made it clear they would just have the planet's governors would have direct control instead of a stupid ass Senate that went nowhere.
not only are you hot but you're also a star wars fan I'll simp hard for you!
I keep forgetting that MauLer's a voice actor. Those impressions of Davey Jones and Jack Sparrow were spot-on.
What work has he done? I know about a trailer for an ant game.
@@MrSinjoy Not just the trailer: he was the narrator in Empires of the Undergrowth.
unfortunately, i’m not sure if he’s actually done anything else lol
@@unpopularopinions7407
He used to take short jobs on Reddit.
I thought I heard him mention that he didn’t want to take requests for voice acting in case he couldn’t commit to it. DO NOT quote me on this however.
I actually hate what he's done to parody, and I find it insulting to the history of literature itself.
The first major parody in European literature was also its first modern novel. In 1605 and 1615, Miguel de Cervantes released parts 1 and 2 of Don Quixote de la Mancha, about what everyone knows as a madman who believes he is a knight, who fights battles that aren't real. Those who have passing knowledge of the text would know *why* all of this is so. Don Quixote was the first modern novel because it cared about making sense. Continuity, characters, motivations, all of it comes from Cervantes' frustration with the proto-stories that were popular at the time, which were "tales of chivalry" that didn't have any of this. The first chapters of Don Quixtote explain that he went mad because he read too many of these stories that didn't make sense and became unable to understand reality because he accepted that things just happen in order to generate an emotional response.
Knights who wielded swords that ended up being lances on the next page, fighting friends and foes for no reason other than that knights exist to fight. The names of characters would not be consistent, and a child in one section could be an old woman the next they meet. A dragon on one page would become a fairy on the next. A single stroke of the sword would somehow cleave mountains. And the Hand of God could be seen everywhere, intervening on behalf of our heroes other than that of the whims of the writers. This is what the Literary Dark Ages were. This is why Don Quixote can believe that the windmills are secretly giants because he expects the turn of the page to make it so.
As a parody, Don Quixote worked so well because Cervantes could write on both levels; he could construct the story that actually made sense and use Don Quixote to recreate what other stories might attempt. He practically did what others in the present do now; to write the story for the authors and create sense from nonsense. And he did it all to prove what Rags says in the present, about "How about it also makes sense? Why not put that effort in?" It's parody because it understands the source so well and can point out its flaws just by recreating it. And he changed European literature forever, and for the better. We care about our stories more because we know what happens when they don't; they revert to "holy texts" that cannot be questioned directly because of the accusations of blasphemy. They will say it is all opinion and there is no factual basis of anything and that God has graced them with the proper pedestal, not the blasphemers who dare to pick a text apart by what is actually written on it. Do not worry what the masses say, the *real critics* are here to tell you what has been ordained!
The online presence of people like AT-AT exist to revert our rich cultural run of 400 years by attempting to revert this core idea back into another literary dark age. To see him attempt parody in order to revert what good parody has wrought is repulsive.
That was a good read; I didn’t get Don Quixote at the time, i totally missed the context there. Thanks
@@samwallaceart288 Oh man, you might want to give it a read at some point. They "beat" Don Quixote at the end of part II and convince him to live a normal life by propping up their own champion, the Knight of the Moon, who beats him in his own game. Cervantes really modernized fiction in this argument about "making sense" because in the end he says it is internal consistency that is necessary. We do not need to impose that things must be "real", but they have to be "the same kind of real" that the other person might believe. They make this risk to join Don Quixote in his madness to do it and succeed. This finally gets through to his head and he has to accept it, because his internal view of reality allows it to be. It gets really meta a lot like that.
Ehm... Shouldn't satire be also a form of parody ? Which would make the art of parody date back to... At least as far back as greek antiquity ?
But I guess your argument may hold for modern european literature specifically ? (I'm not any kind of expert on literature, just asking)
@@nathanjora7627 Oh definitely. I'm talking about European literature. If you look at "first novel", there are many more long and complex stories that existed before Don Quixote.
@@afelias I know you were talking about european literature, that's why I mentioned greek antiquity and not... I don't know, sumer or something like that.
As I've said I'm not an expert on literature so to me european literature means just literally that, so how big is the difference between "european literature" literally, and european literature as you used it ? Was there a difference or am I just really dense (which is far from being impossible, english isn't my forte and the history of literature and its different classifications, especially in other languages, isn't something I've studied either, even if we were taught the great movements in art, literature included) ?
Just now I realised ... we all know that sequels make the OT pointless, but now with ep9 even the prequels are pointless. Think about it, it's 3 movies about how Palpatine manipulated the republic to get an army and conquer the galaxy.
In ep9 we find out that there is this huge cult that can build the biggest fleet in the galaxy. What was the point of all that scheming ?
The running joke I have about the sequels is that most people actually want the Empire back and that the Resistance are the secret bad guys.
The head canon I wrote up is that 5 years after the RotJ,* the New Republic causes a depression because Empire contractors like Sienar Fleet Systems and Kuat Drive Yards couldn't get any work as they were deemed "collaborators" by Leia and Holdo. So, when they heard the First Order was hiring shipwrights, engineers, and scientists to build the Starkiller base, they agreed because they could finally make all those blueprints like a better TIE or miniaturizing Super Laser technology. Since all these smart people invented more efficient power sources to use that minaturized tech, First Order planets became first galaxy nations because they effectively have the Star Wars equivalent to Lockheed-Martin and Heckler & Koch working for them.
Meanwhile, the New Republic is run like the Soviet Army where Commissars have all the power due to political connections instead of ability. Holdo wears a dress because she's a Commissar and outranks real officers despite not technically being part of the chain of command. Said Commissars are also the ones who handle the business of ordering new gear for the Resistance, but because they don't know what actually works on the battlefield, they issue orders and designs that don't make sense, hence the Resistance bomber. It technically does the job of dropping off lots of ordinance, but isn't fit for battlefield service because people like Holdo didn't ask the right questions such as "how fast is it? How armored is it? Can a squadron provide overlapping cover fire for each other?" Such widespread incompetence causes the New Republic to become a galaxy-wide CHAZ. Thus the demand for the Law and Order of the Empire created by Sheev Palpatine created a widespread "cult" following.
I thought of this because I decided on a whim to try to make sense out of Sequel nonsense.
*I did not watch The Mandalorian.

@@dragonknightleader1 Good head canon. Best way to sum up Disney New Republic incompetence
"What was the point of all that scheming ?"
Idk, the prequels came up with that convoluted plot - and the sequels were trying to get away from that, in case you didn't notice.

Who does?
Luke does not use the Force to guide the torpedoes in the first film. The theory is only mentioned very briefly as an aside during this episode but it's a weird one for people who watched the originals when they were released. There is absolutely no way anyone would have thought Luke was using telekinesis 1977.
The targeting computer is essentially depicting the equivalent of second war bomb site. It's there to tell them when to press the trigger. Obi-Wan tells him to trust his feelings rather than the targeting computer. Luke doesn't guide the torpedoes, he just fires them when his instincts tell him it is the right time to do it.
It's a scene about someone trusting their own experience, skill and judgement rather than doing what a computer tells them to do.
Luke as the film points out has been hitting similar sized targets all his life. It's that training and him opening himself to the Force that guides him into releasing the torpedoes at exactly the right moment.
After that it's just like the WWII combat that Lucas transferred into space, the torpedoes are unguided.
It is human ability and spirituality doing something that the computer failed to do. It's a motif that hit home with a late 1970's audience, which had very different experiences of computers and technology to anyone who watched the prequels as children, let alone the sequels.
He absolutely isn't nudging the torpedoes into the exhaust port with the Force. No one would have thought that at the time because they hadn't seen Empire. They'd never seen a Jedi call his saber to him or move anything with the force.
It was relating to the concerns of the time. Automation was costing people jobs. Computers were starting to appear in the work-place but were slow, unreliable, difficult to use and the province of a very few highly trained nerds.
It was about turning the machine off, and trusting yourself, the old ways (the Jedi protected the Republic for millennia) and your connecton to life and nature (the Force). Obi-Wan is a spiritual warrior monk, not a "space wizard".
You've also got to remember that the Lucas of 1977 is an independent film maker struggling under oppressive yoke of the studio business men who have funded the project. Turning off the computer (corporate) advice and trusting his own (artistic) instincts would have had rather more significance for him than his hero guiding the torpedoes with magic powers.
Exactly
Luke you turned your computer Targeting computer off! Are you all Right?
"Its All Right!"
Yes
@Daniel Kleinman same
@Daniel Kleinman same ._. never heard of that
1:48:55 Luke did not use the force to guide the missiles into the Death Star. he used the force to know WHEN to fire. i commented on this on another video, but up it comes again. he talks earlier about it not being impossible to hit a target that small (hitting womprats), and another pilot gets very close. it is unreasonable and illogical to send out a bunch of fighter pilots with the hope that one of them might be force sensitive to get the torpedoes in. Luke turns off his targeting computer, connects with the force, then fires. he is then immediately relieved, knowing he fired at the right time, all before we see the torpedoes go into the exhaust port. the torpedoes do their job when fired at the right time. please stop making this point.
Woow! 😬 Some people really thought that Luke guided the missiles? Oh, man 😔
I always viewed it as Luke using the force to assist with his aim, not the timing of firing the missiles, since it was his targeting computer that he switches off. Either way, I agree with your overall point. Luke did not guide the missiles with the force. He can barely call his lightsaber to him at the start of Empire, so he definitely doesn't have the ability to move objects that are under thrust in ANH.
Wait, so the ~90° turn the torpedoes do are by design?
That's probably what threw me and other off...
Also the little visualization of the mission they make during the Yavin briefing clearly shows that the torpedoes are intended to be fired parallel to the Death Star surface, as they’ve been programmed to arc 180 degrees.
It’s not an ideal method in the slightest for firing them down a tiny hole, but obviously this is a desperate do-or-die situation where they’re having to make do with what they have. Y’know, since unlike the Resistance they don’t have a n e n t i r e g a l a c t i c r e p u b l i c behind them.
@@HasekuraIsuna the interpretation is either that the torpedoes were designed to make that turn (however goofy that is), or that the Y-wing pilots and Red leader were all known force users of the rebellion. The only way to decide which is to take into account all of the remaining evidence of the film.
In favour of the 90 degree turn (or to put it another way, torpedoes that didn't require the force to guide them), we have:
- the briefing scene. Pilot says it's impossible to hit the target, and Luke claims he did it back home all the time
- the other pilots all using targeting computers to make their shot. They clearly believe that the technology will work and they are not banking on a literal miracle.
- the briefing scene again. As the comment above already states, the briefing shows the missile trajectory bending 90 degrees.
In favour of all the pilots using the force:
- .....? I have nothing, and their reliance on the targeting computers when our only known force user makes his shot without it kind of proves that they don't have the force.
About the 'what about Darth Vader getting his head cut off' argument: I've watched a couple of video's of the fight. The shot ATAT's talking about is almost impossible to reproduce. All I see is a flash of light (how bright depends on the version), sparks and Darth Vader's shoulder getting hurt. I also rewatched Shadiversity's video on the fight, he didn't notice it either. So either ATAT is lying or it's a too tiny a shot too actually notice - which means it's nowhere near as bad as the disappearing knife.
It's really not that hard to get the frame he shows, I slowed down Shads video to .25 and used the . key to advance frames and got it. It's technically a mistake but they clearly show sparks on Vaders shoulder pad and he grabs it in pain after the flash indicating it didn't hit his neck.
Is it nitpicking to go through the film literally frame by frame looking for errors?

Mauler should do a Mauler parody. It would be better than this.

That would imply that Mauler is self aware

Well yeah, that's because Mauler's good at parodying. His April fools TROS video was so spot on, the people parodied in it thought he was making sense.
The whole “no one knows what Y-Wings are” argument always made me laugh, because there’s newer A-Wings in the same fight, and idk difficult to say as someone who is very into Star Wars, I would say the people who don’t know what a Y-Wing is, would probably also not know what an A-Wing is. But we got one and not the other, such a dumb argument
It’s incredibly dumb.
@@beardedbjorn5520 the people who defend The Last Jedi are morons.

@@MrChickennugget360 that's been my experience hahaha
It doesn't even matter. No one knew what a Y-Wing was before they watched the OT, but they were in that. I think that right there is the exact mentality that so many people approach these movies with. As MauLer mentioned in his Star Wars Cannot Grow Up video, people decide what a piece of media should have in terms of products based on how many people recognize it from a previous thing. It's the "I know what that is!" meme if it was an Infinity Stone. If people won't recognize it and fangasm, don't include it. Ships in Star Wars now don't have a strategically useful design and they're not used intelligently as per that use in order to gain an advantage in battle. They're used as props that all operate almost exactly the same in terms of "big/fast thing that blows the enemy up, sometimes combine them both" in order to get people to react to them. If a Y-Wing were to be included in a modern Star Wars movie, you likely wouldn't see a fleet of Y-Wings organizing a coordinated and well-timed bombing run on a vulnerable capital ship/Imperial base to ease the fire on their X/A-Wings. You'd see the ship model of a Y-Wing firing a torpedo to shoot down a Tie-Fighter, basically doing the exact thing an X/A-Wing does.
regarding the name of the planet Hoth, Star Wars has so many references and influences specifically from WW2 Germany and from ancient Roman history that its obvious to anyone who studied history that he took the name from German general Herman Hoth, not from simply taking the word "hot" and adding an h at the end...
4:30:04 Here in the US we have a saying that goes, "All hat and no cattle." Probably started in Texas, but it basically means you like to talk big but there's nothing behind it. If you wear a hat like a cowboy but you don't have any cattle, you're not actually a cowboy, you just like cosplaying as one.
Yeh we've got one in the UK that goes "all mouth and no trousers". Basically the same thing.
Not sure of the origin, or whether its just from the UK lol.

In all seriousness, listening to AT-AT Chat and his ilk talk about their love for the Disney Catastrophe Trilogy is quite the psychological study. It's pretty clear how and why these morons are so easily swindled. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought a hundred Disney time shares. Critical thinking really needs to make a come back if humanity is ever to grow out of its infancy.
In the future I think I will refer to it as the "Disney Catastrilogy."
We should be space-faring by now.

Swindled by what into what?
"Critical thinking really needs to make a come back if humanity is ever to grow out of its infancy."
Critical thinking about what? Your unfounded and laughable assumption that Star Wars is supposed to have more respect for logical consistency than it does for science physics?
@Aidelton587 its supposed to. It doesn't have to be realistic, so long as it's believable and consistent. The ot was at the very least, that.
ATAT thinks there's no Emperor in A New Hope? Tarkin breaking the news to everyone that the Emperor just got rid of the Senate, and later, Darth Vader escaping death, meant nothing?
to be fair, at that point the emperor wasn't the same character we get in the sequel (at least from what Lucas said about it)
@@YourPrivateNightmare but at the same time none of the information was directly contradictory (movie wise, not book wise) which is why the character change doesn't have an impact on the overall narrative.
@@adulescentuluscarnifex8412 oh yeah of course, I'm just saying it's not wrong to argue from the perspective that the Emperor, as a character, didn't exist in New Hope
@@YourPrivateNightmare it is wrong to argue that point, because he is a character. He may not have an actor but he's still a character if that makes sense.

Nothing that is inconsistent from what we see in Empire.
I've found people don't pay attention when they watch movies, can't tell you how many people tell me they turn their brains off while watching a movie. What's the point of watching a movie is you're not going to pay attention?
Just went and checked out the scene where Luke "could have cut Vader's head off" and it's represented that it was more a shoulder strike and that Vader got his saber up to parry the blade back and then he immediately ended the fight.
You don't even need to answer that kind of choreography with that kind of answer. You could literally just say Luke missed. "Luke could have won here if he'd hit Vader here", yeah, but he didn't. He missed. He took a wild swing and missed
Of all this"parodies", the one that stands out the most is that Mauler doesn't spend this much time blathering on about himself and how he feels. You might even call it one of the most identifiable and PARODY-ABLE aspects of his style.

The joke he's going for regarding "freedom fighters" is the criticism of the Resistance being called that because it doesn't make sense for them to be called that since the Republic exists. Ah, 1:21:45, Mauler figured it out as I was typing this. Yeah, he just doesn't understand the criticism, or he does and his attempt at a joke just sucks.
As with all the attempted parody in this particular video, AT-AT Chat completely whiffed on the humor and wound up clunking himself in the face.
The best thing is that people in the comments on AT-AT chat's video agree with everything he said. Let that sink in...
Reminds me of that 4.5 hrs Twin Peaks actually explained video by Twin Perfect. It received a lot of praise by his fans when the video was published in 2018, and they leave comments with recommendations and requests for commentary in so many comment sections of videos by major Twin Peaks content creators, it hurts. But at least Twin Perfect, as far as I know, doesn't point fingers at people who disagree with him and wages war against them. He just thinks he has found the perfect method to decipher the (alleged) code of Twin Peaks, and found the ultimate meaning, while he is unable to recognize that is method of proof is faulty. He and his video(s) would almost be perfect for an EFAP, if it wasn't for the video length of 4.5 hrs.
His fans are mostly insane TLJ-defenders. I got chased out of there for saying I found it literally unwatchable.
@@mr.barcode3186 I can somehow believe that. I mean, I have never checked any of his other videos out, I don't like his "I've got the ultimate answer" attitude, and I always have to sit on my hands, when I see a comment on another Twin Peaks video that goes like this "hey, check out his video, it's the holy grail." What I'm saying is they resemble a cult, and therefore I believe his fans would chase deviants and non-believers of the one true faith out.
I mean... the majority of a person's followers will usually follow in agreement with them. It's really something special when the audience turns on the presenter. They're all crazy, but it's expected.
"If Empire came out today no one would like it" that argument kills me because I had never seen Star Wars at all until early this year and I watched them in release order in isolation knowing nothing about the franchise and my first reaction was that Empire was easily the best.

Glad to hear that someone can experience Star Wars for the first time so recently and still come around to the same conclusions that a lot of longtime fans have, not to mention having enjoyed them in the first place. Speaks to the innate merits (and flaws) of each of the films, feels good man.
something i haven't seen many people mention. so snoke was a puppet of palpatine but was strong enough to form a connection between rey and kylo but palpatine still had to use holograms to communicate with vader
True.
Almost as if JJ and Rian didn't quite think these things through or even more possible, didn't care. The need for spectical and subversion took precedence over consistent storytelling and respect for lore.
1) this is decades later, could be a newly learned power to bridge minds.
2) there could be a practical reason, like the holographic communications are recorded and can't keep records of mind bridges.
3) we don't know that Palpatine cannot otherwise communicate with Vader or anyone else, but these things do take effort, and perhaps Palpatine does not want his OWN mind bridged with Vader's.
@@bro2044 decades that Palpy has spent recovering from being vaporized....twice.... so i'm not sure he's had that much time to pull new force powers out of his arse. Another reason you don't bring very dead characters back, really.
but those are still reasons not touched on in the film, they are just things that happened that you, the viewer, are supposed to justify for the lazy screenwriter, because they story needs them to happen. Which is a really bad thing for a visual medium because every time the viewer has to do that, you are forcing them out of the story on screen to think about what the hell just happened, weakening their immersion in the story itself.
this is the inherent madness of trying to defend these movies this way. Even if you can belated find a justification for what happens in other material, the sheer fact that you have to have supplementary material to make sense just makes it a really bad screenplay and subsequently a bad movie.

the video MauLer is talking about is "Stuntmen React To Bad & Great Hollywood Stunts" by Corridor Crew. it's only a 3 minute section of a larger video.
to summerize Daisy and Adam are late on their cues. which means the stuntguys have to pause and wait, and then the main characters stop and pause to see if the stunt guys are in position to be blocked by them.
Too bad Kylo didn't keep the mask on. Then that guy would have been a stunt double and hit his marks. There's no saving Daisy though. She "mastered" the routine in a day.
It's so fucking lazy.
See, a good director would take a break, get the actor's to practice their moves off camera, then try again later.
But Rian's incompetent and shit at his job so it's just gotta be as rushed and poorly done as possible. It's The Johnson Way™, go with the first try, whether it's good or bad.
'Daisy mastered the whole routine in a day,' my foot.

If Rian can make Episode 8 by putting in as much minimum effort as possible, why should the likes of Christopher Nolan, or Denis Villeneuve, or Robert Eggers, or Stephen Spielberg, or George Lucas, or whoever even try to make anything good and worthwhile.

You have to be pretty crazy (literally insane) to think that TLJ is great AND that it measures up anywhere NEAR ESB. Funny to think Rian Johnson's twitter was lit with "hot takes" about Star Wars 2 years ago. Once his Knives Out shit came out, star wars is no where on his twitter feed. what a clown.
So, I guess ATAT is one of those stereotypical TLJ fans that thinks that if Empire came out today it would be hated? smh
Actually, I like it less now than I did then. If you follow the same reasoning, the Disney films will just get worse, not better.
It's cause Rian Johnson said that, so it has to be true.
TLJ can inject itself with a thousand steroid injections and it still wouldn't reach Empire level in any day. It's garbage at best and vomit after eating garbage at worst.
@@庫倫亞利克 Can’t believe that people think that it’s comparable to Empire. Let’s compare Empire’s ending to TLJ’s. In the former your mind is racing over what might happen next. Will Luke finish his Jedi training? Is Vader telling the truth about being Luke’s father? How will this affect their next encounter? Who is the other hope Yoda was talking about? How will they get Han back. Contrast this with TLJ where it’s a given that the first order will be defeated somehow, and Rey will either be redeem Kylo Ren, or kill him.
Well, on the other side, th-cam.com/video/JMdrQUlnR1I/w-d-xo.html - they think it's a proper parody - I like Mauler but then his voice is very good for helping me sleep - but so far I find their lack of humour...disturbing. *squeezes fingers together whilst someone starts to cough and choke*
I don't think ATAT is arguing that more cuts make a scene better. It's even more ridiculous... I think he's trying to make the argument that 39 cuts is exactly the optimal number of cuts to make the scene great.
...And I would bet good money that had the number of cuts been, say, 12, or 20, or 53, or 65, he would have said the exact same thing. "Ah, 65, the mathematically ideal number of cuts! Bravo, a masterpiece!"
there's more cuts in that one fight scene than in all of John Wick, i think.... but it's okay, because nobody liked the action in John Wick, right?
One of the exceptions for copyright is "commentary and critique," which happens to be *THE ENTIRE POINT OF EFAP AND SMUDCAST.*
Yeees
ATAT is such a special individual.
He heard the argument "How is the first order so strong? Didn't their entire base get destroyed!?"
And his mind countered that argument by saying "Well in ESB the rebels are somehow also on the back foot despite destroying the death star! It makes complete sense because the Empire just shrugged it off!"
At no point did a synapse flare and link GALACTIC EMPIRE vs REMNANT INSURGENCY
Before I start. I’m predicting this is a video where some TLJ fan pretends to be a “fandom menace” critic and review empire with “the same depth as they do to TLJ” and through lying and out of context moments make it seem like... If the fandom menace was being honest they wouldn’t like empire and thus can be dismissed”
They forget that empire works where TLJ doesn’t mostly because empire is a part 2 and TLJ is a part 8 but world building is a foreign concept to them

Some of the things Rags says should be covered on EFAP.
1:38:59 For future reference a tundra is frozen ground that gets warm enough in the summer to prevent year round build up of ice (e.g. siberia), and an ice cap is a massive build up of ice (e.g. antarctica or greenland), a glacier is an "ice river" of sorts and flows downhill very slowly (e.g. many mountain ranges), they can be pretty big but not to the point of being a climate in-and-of-themselves like an ice cap.
An ice cap would be a "cold desert" due to the low precipitation caused by the air being to cold for clouds, funnily enough. These are generally labelled polar climates to avoid confusion with hot deserts like the middle east or colder non-iced over deserts like the gobi.

To what Nerdrotic said at 8:42:00 roughly about californian forest fires we had a similar problem in Australia where the maniacs were blocking backburning and 3 states burned down.
The line from Obi-Wan in A New Hope can justify pretty much all force powers provided they wouldn’t have been useful in the prequels when there are Jedi everywhere.
For those who don’t remember, the script is as follows:
Obi-Wan: Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him.
Luke: You mean it controls your actions?
Obi-Wan: Partially. But it also obeys your commands.
It’s vague enough to me anything, but when grounded to reality it makes sense as an extension of a person’s abilities. If you can pick something up and through it then the force can let let you do that without having to touch it. Most people can’t pick up hundreds of rocks at once. Also most people can’t perform necromancy either. Force lighting is the only force power in the OT that doesn’t make sense but the Sith are kinda into their dark magic and evil shit so it’s not too bad especially after the prequels and expanded flesh out the Sith more.
As lightsaber fights go most of my favorites involve Darth Maul. The Phantom Menace fight is really good and two of his fights in clone wars were spectacular; namely when he and his brother fought Obi-Wan (with some help from Hondo) and when he and Savage fought Sidious. A lot of Clone Wars' lightsaber duels were really good looking back on them
“How are you the underdogs when you have all the power?”
Good question! One might see the parallels to our own world there. Almost like these writers project their real-life victimhood derangement onto their films.
"But we cant critique the OT...they started it all"
I think this stems from the counter-argument to why Snokes origins matter in the sequeel trilogy and why Emperor Palpatines origins doesn't matter in the Original trilogy.
Except that they oversimplified the argument and applied it to the entire trilogy
Again, let's imagine a Sequel Trilogy to the Lord of the Rings where a new bad guy never talked about before suddenly shows up, undoes everything the Fellowship and Aragorn accomplished and brought back Sauron without a proper explanation. That's how Snoke feels like.
@@DeepEye1994 and Rey is someone who randomly pops up on Return of the King, takes the ring from a broken and defeated Frodo and Sam, and finishes their job with ease
Which is stupid. All we want is consistency-Snoke is old enough that he was clearly around while the events of the OT were happening, and it creates a contradiction. We can accept that it's possible, but we need something to explain this since it's apparently building a part of the story we've never seen before.
Just killing him off, like RJ did, doesn't remove the fact that there's a story contradiction there, it just ensures that the contradiction will never be explained. If the villain of the whole trilogy had just been Kylo Ren, we could have accepted it-a younger man who rose into prominence and gained dark-side mastery after the fall of the Empire doesn't contradict anything.

I just don't understand why no one sees how bad that disappearing blade scene is. The disappearing blade is the 3rd chance to kill her that the guard had in as many seconds. First, the disappearing blade slashes her abdomen (or would if he was actually trying to kill her) then she falls and, instead of stabbing her on the ground or following momentum to slash her from face to...not face, he picks her up with the hand he has past her guard and ready to slash her in the face! Only then does the blade at her kidney disappear!
How can a blade prop disappear like that anyway? Did it fall out of his hands, or maybe they have another take and no one notices the blade?
@@wojak-sensei6424 They literally edited it out for those few scenes in hopes no one would notice. Disney everyone.
That throne room fight breakdown felt a lot to me like "look at how much camera technique knowledge I have"
So 2-3 years have past since ANH and ESB and Luke has basic understanding of the force trough Obi Wan.
In ANH Darth Vader strangles people through the force, which is a telekinetic ability.
So pulling a light saber out of the snow is not a new force power pulled out of nowhere, it's also a telekinetic ability. Also Luke had enough time in between movies to get a grasp of the basics of the force. Seems a pretty okay explanation from what is in the movies.
Also I don't mind Force Skype calls per se, since Leia and Luke could communicate through the force, so it's an extension of that ability of sorts, caused by the mind probing of Kylo on a Jedi.
Only the passing of physical objects through it can't be rationally explained and would require explanations.
Also I believe that all instances of communication in the OT happen with all actors in the, relative, same area. Luke contacts Leia while hanging off of Cloud City which they had just left and Vader makes contact with Luke while he is on a Star Destroyer currently pursuing the falcon. It is not light years of distance like in the sequels.
Would have been much stronger if Luke instead used a loop of utility cable to lasso it (using the Force to nail the shot in the pinch where the Wampa starts moving). Then, when Luke learns telekinesis from Yoda, it fits in with the idea that Yoda is broadening Luke's horizon for what the Force is / can be / can do. Even more, when Luke recovers his saber at Cloud City, it's a setup-payoff dynamic. On top of all that, the utility cable and use of the Force would tie back to where we left off with Luke in the original film.
Also, nothing in the film says that it's been 2-3 years. In fact 1-2 years is a naturally more reasonable reading, because they've been on adventures in the meantime, but Solo owes a major debt to the kind of people that break your legs when you're 12 months late on $20,000.
Okay, I got a challenge for the Whataboutism-obsessed apologists:
Find me in the OT and even in the PT, anything that is remotely like Anakin Skywalker's Force Ghost not doing anything while Luke raises his weapon on his sleeping nephew and then continuously doing nothing while Ben talks to his molten Vader mask. The fact TLJ establishes that Force Ghosts can interact with the physical world makes it even worse.
Ah, and also find me something equivalent to Rose and Finn jeopardizing the mission because they didn't fucking PARK correctly.
Obi-Wan sat down on a log in Return of the Jedi. But that's one of the minor flaws in the OT which don't take away from the story itself. The original Star Wars movie already sets everything up including possible Force abilities. But contrary to what the sequels and to an extent the prequels show us, the Force wasn't a superhero power that made its user godlike or something. The Force was originally more connected with the strength of the human spirit, which is inherently more powerful and ressourceful than any piece of technology no matter how large and destructive it might be. Vader speaks about "the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force," and Luke destroys the Death Star after Obi-Wan tells him to switch off his computer. Star Wars is a really well written story, with the power to inspire and lift the human spirit.
@@MarvinFalz i always assumed Obi Wan just simulated sitting down to be at Luke's level during a confidential talk.
I do agree with the rest of the comment and if I was in charge of the ST I would've tried to go for that approach more, especially since my Sequels would've been set a thousand generations later and the new characters are rediscovering the Force.
@@DeepEye1994 Ah, I haven't seen it that way. And why not? It's a difference whether he makes himself appear to be standing, walking and sitting down, or if he actually grabs a light sabre or whatever and uses it. Thanks for that insight!
Interesting approach! I've seen a video by Thor Skywalker in my recommended yesterday, where he asks for ideas how the sequels should be rewritten.
@@MarvinFalz
High five, Thor Skywalker is the man!
I personally would've done a single "A Star Wars Story" movie dedicated to show how Luke, Leia, Han and the galaxy as a whole is doing decades later after ROTJ, but other than that I would've left the Skywalkers in peace in the other films.
Tho if in this alternate universe people like the post-ROTJ spinoff film and Mark Hamill is up for it, I'd continue the story with Luke still kicking around with the new characters.
As for my ideal Sequel Trilogy, the main conflict would've been a new Light Side vs Dark Side and a Grey Area Force users in the middle.
My Jedi would be heroes that fail but want to do the right thing, my Dark Side users might be bad people but with some noble/intriguing aspects in their personality, whereas the Grey Area anti-heroes are the more complicated and are probably the ones that suffer the most by the end of it because they can barely stick together.
In the first episode the new characters are introduced, in the second we see how they gather their own armies and escalate the conflict, and then the third movie would be the final showdown.
I thought it'd be interesting if in the beginning the Grey Area Force Users are the more united group, but as the story goes on the new Jedi and Sith get stronger and more united while the Grey Area Force Users increasingly become more dysfunctional in the midst of things getting larger scaled between Light and Dark (who knows, maybe a Grey Area character regrets their past actions and join the Jedi to seek redemption, or they want more power and join the Sith) until they fall apart.
Or maybe in their obsession of coming on top they become a bigger threat and the Light and Dark side users must join forces to stop them.
@@DeepEye1994 Okay, that sounds like the larger context in the storyworld, where different factions relate to each other in the way you want to describe them. As I understand your outline, the personal motivations and decisions of your characters to act are connected primarily with them being Force-Users in their respective faction. What seems to be missing are personalities, humans who interact with other humans in a human way, but I'm sure you have already thought some personalities up. :) In any case, the inclusion of a third faction, which seems to be in between light and dark, is novel, as far as I know. As I write this I have to think of the three Imperial factions in the game Morrowind (basically thieves, warriors and mages), and maybe it would add some variety if the Grey Area Force faction would be something differing from the monkish Jedi and the criminal Sith.

At about 1:30 the guy's video mentioned "I'm going to state the obvious" which is a bit of a backfire. If Mauler's stating the obvious, why are defenders of the last jedi not acknowledging these obvious flaws?
And to think, the OT Star Wars would just be a pleasant memory in our heads if we didn't have these opportunistic, bitchy post-modernists trying to dismantle the past for scraps and clout. "Hmm. The originals set the bar too high. Gotta ruin them in order to fit in."
Blesstisms to Mauler, Rags, and Crew for fighting the good fight.
"Kill men's sense of values. ... Laugh at (Empire Strikes Back) and hold (The Last Jedi) as a great movie. You’ve destroyed Cinema. Build (The Last of Us Pt. 2) and you’ve destroyed Video Games. ...

4:27:32 It took Hayden and Ewan two months of training to prepare for filming the lightsaber duel on Mustafar in Revenge Of The Sith. That doesn't include the time it took to actually choreograph and film the fight. But the time spent isn't why it's so impressive. I know, it's a hard point to comprehend for some people 🤦♂️
AT-AT sounds like the epitome of someone who has a really bad case of "I took a class on [subject], so I know everything there is to know about it."

Love the Longman!!😊💞 Awesome panel. Thank you for all the great content, and entertainment Mauler. Also, Hi Rags! 🐶💖
4:33:00 "All pants, no trousers." I'm thinking this variation of the idiom means that someone's sitting in their underwear and not putting on trousers in order to accomplish the thing they're bragging about.
Around 4:18:00 Mauler wonders why the guards would attack their own boss. They're the praetorian guard. Praetorian. Their love for betraying bosses they were hired to protect is in the name itself.
The Praetorians betrayed their bosses for a reason. They didn't challenge Roman Emperors to duels where the Emperors had the advantage.
3:05:50 I mean, a door that can only be opened via control panel, opening when said panel is damaged sounds like a basic safety measure to me. If it defaulted to closed, it could trap people in a room without a way to get out. (Though it does depends on the application. Defaulting to open isn't always the best thing.)
I'm starting to truly realize that some people really do think that all movies are bad in a technical sense, and that "good" writing doesn't actually exist in any meaningful capacity. That the only difference between liking a movie and disliking it, isn't the quality of writing or story craft, but ONLY the superficial things that you as an individual like about the movie. That makes me sad
A lot of these people are stupid. They don't even think about attempting TO think.

I shit you not, someone in the comments section of this video tried to tell me that the prequels were unwatchable and that TLJ was a masterpiece. In the same sentence. Unironically.
8:25:58 By "Clone Wars 03", I think they meant the original Clone Wars 2D micro-series that was released in *2003,* between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. It was created by Tartakovsky (the guy who made Samurai Jack) and it was really good.
1:14:01 I think he's talking about the fact that there was no title crawl in Star Wars (in the theatrical release of 1977), thus adding it for TESB is stupid because it's a dumb thing to do, but yeah I fail to see how it's a parody of anything MauLer has ever done, it's completely random.
6:53:00 i get what rags is getting at with this, years ago i had some work to do in a mountain community up at home far removed from the rest of the community. i had to help load some stuff onto a trailer ultimately about 2 tones worth of metal by hand. individually doable but each one would make you feel it.
we unfortunately did not have weapons and the wild life around us and all the dogs nearby were noisy and barking up until all of the sudden they went dead silent and we knew there had to either be a bear or wolves or some other predator in the area. despite the temporary chill we all got from that and our own dogs hair brisling up growling territorially starring into the trees we didnt have the time to be afraid we had some work left and after we finished that half ton of metal we strapped up and got outta there. latter on we got a bit of a of the jeebs from it thinking about what coulda been out there but not till later and we had the time to let it sink in.
"I can't really defend the fight scene in terms of choreography, geographical clarity, cause and effect, coherence... Well, I guess it's time to bullshit my way through a few minutes" - the video.
3:00:20 there is a theory called shield clipping, where if two shields over lap they clip through each other severely weakening ray shielding making them near useless and vulnerable, the same I believe is happening in the film with AT-AT only with the ground as what is clipping the shield
I think a novelization for one of the Prequel stories mentioned that as a weakness of Droidekas/Destroyer droids and why they weren't common. Their shields work the same way, so on uneven ground or if knocked over (as Jedi could do with the Force), their own shields would short themselves out by constantly reacting to and repelling the ground (on top of having limits to what they can repel for Blaster Weaponry)
From what i heard about The Boys' memes (havent watched it yet), it looks like it became a dangerous case of Watch_Dogs 2
I'm fairly certain that after the At-At goes down, the rebels run forward and plant a bomb on it. That's what the speeders shoot to cause that explosion. They cut the scene of them planting it from the film, but you see them shouting and running with it, then the speeder shot it as it flew over.
This ATCHAT guy is not as smart as he thinks he is. Parody has to be accurate to some truth. He missed that, and he wasn't lampooning any of Mauler's criticisms either.

I listened to it again and now I've taken a diversion onto memory lane. Fun times. Wherever that guy is now, I hope he disconnected from the Raid near the end and his friends got the loot he was after
I suppose Canto Bite did have a purpose - it reminded me that Metal Gear Solid has a better setting for war economy commentary.
@Corvo@AZ And Rian Johnson managed to be worse.
First they try to bring everything down to their level, and then they try to pretend that what they defend aren't on their level after all, but actually above it, thus proving that Sequel Thumpers are either intellectually dishonest, stupid, or both.
It's both. They are both literally stupid, but also actively dishonest little weasels. They are so dumb they think they're being clever and hiding their lies when they are just exposing how stupid they are with obvious dishonesty.
I think when he talks about anyone using the lightsaber suddenly is that there were people in 1977 who thought that the beam of energy was force so only a jedi can use it.. Example of this would be burnie burns from rooster teeth.
I could see the on-off switch of a lightsaber having been some kind of internal device that only those properly in tune with the force could interact with, especially since later on it was established that Jedi must build their own sabers... but no, it’s just a button, and there is no problem with that.
@@BigBroTejano yeah, I'm sure there were some kids in the 70s who only saw it once and never had the toy of the lightsaber that missed the button.
It IS indeed Force. The crystal inside the light Saber is charged with force. This is one of the reasons commoners can't craft lightsabers.
@@nikoloszeloslav8570 Isn't it where they can't see/sense the crystal? Because they don't have the force, they can't sense whether a crystal is a kyber crystal or not while force users can sense it. That doesn't mean that they can't grab the crystals for themselves since the Empire were haresting crystals for themselves.
@@isplat927 in Rogue One Empire harvests kyber crystals without using force-sensetive folk to do that. So I assume Crystals can be found by commoners. But well I don't know if any of our thoughts are canonical... Dysney ya'know...

Hey, dirts good for your immune system. ATAT Chat destroys mine.
Small clarification on somthing here, you wear goggles (typically you wear a welding hood to protect your whole face) primarily to keep your eyes from being damaged by the light that is created from the weld electrode. The lense inside is tinted as such and you actually really can't see through it clearly if you're not welding.
This EFAP pretty much sums up my YT life nowadays...... all my favourites in one place!
Just Doomcock needed for the full set, but just watched 4 hours of him and Drinker the other day.
So ATAT chat thinks that because its a Dark Time for the Rebels in ESB even though they just blew up the Death Star in ANH is bad and it takes away fromtheir victory.... No its not.... It shows that the Empire is FAR MORE than just the Death Star, that they have a larger force and presence in the Galaxy than we originally thought...
If i went to the Soviet Union in 1941, and blew up Moscow, would the soviet union still be there? Yes because it was far larger than just Moscow....It Would take a lot mlre effort to take down the Soviet Union than just Moscow....thats the same case with ANH.....thats such a strawman arguement.....
I think part of this is due to the first movie... actually being planned and written out as a one film story. Because there was no trilogy planned out when the first movie was made and the first film becoming such a success was a huge shock to everyone involved.
So yes, while thinking that destroying one super weapon could really end the regime of a GALACTIC empire who had been ruling the GALAXY well before this weapon was operational is silly... that is a bit what the end of the first film suggested... because that’s where the story was originally suppose to end. Good guys won, bad guys lost.
Agreed, but then againif that was the case, he should have mentioned that in the video. Which he doesnt so it makes his arguements even worse.
It's also similar to how even after they killed the emperor the empire was still around but just under generals and people under him who took control. Which basically also led to their downfall
Yeah, thats also true.
I'd just like to mention that ANH literally shows that Vader survived and escaped the battle. So even with just ANH as context, the fight is clearly not over. We just see that good guys can win and almost certainly did. Eventually.
Empire simply follows up on that and does so pretty damn well.
3:00:26 The ARMOR is too thick for blasters. Presumably, shots to the neck can do the job, but while they are mobile and fighting, they are difficult to shoot in the neck.
Doubt you'll ever see this, but I just felt like putting my two cents in on the AT-AT battle on Hoth.
I might be able to offer some explanations for why the AT-AT would be created. I am a huge fan of the Star Wars EU, so all of my explanations will come from there. I dont know if this mixes with Disney's canon because I have no interest in it, but in the EU vehicles fly due to repulsor lifts. In a situation where the repulsors are disabled due to technology or extreme weather that could damage the repulsor, it would make sense to have a vehicle that does not rely on repulsion. In that instance the AT-ATs would be an option. Plus these are large troop transports, so they would be very effective ferrying your ground troops into battle to destroy the shield generator. They are also scary as heck. In the EU the Empire built weapons to be more demoralizing than necessarily practical. All vehicles and ships were built to adhere to the Tarkin naval doctrine. The main gist was to terrify the enemy so much that they would never dare stand up against you. So they made a lot of vehicles that filled the enemy with a sense of dread and hopelessness if you saw it on the opposite end of the battlefield.
Now for the scene where the AT-AT is blown up. If you listen carefully you hear Luke say "That armor is too strong for blasters." Meaning there are not shields, it is protected by strong armor only. If you watch the full scene when it falls you can see the plates around the body fly out away from it. Openings would be made for the speeders to shoot at weaker areas that had previously been covered by the armor. Therefore the speeders can now blow up the AT-AT by hitting the newly made weak spots in the armor.
As to why the AT-AT pilots may not have stopped moving, it might be because until the tow cable is completely released from the speeder there is plenty of slack in the cable. It is not really restricting the movement of the legs much when you watch the part where Wedge is feeding the cable around it. It only constricts when it is detached from the speeder. Speeders have been flying all around, strafing and being a general nuisance so far, so none of the actions taken by the speeders would seem out of the ordinary to the AT-AT pilot. They would realize what happened too late to stop it.
I know it doesn't answer everything, but I hope it was at least interesting. Love your guys stuff!
Good post. I would also add that the reason why the Rebels were using Tauntauns is because they don't lock up in severe cold like the snowspeeders would have. That's why they were not deployed to find Luke immediately before nightfall. Also, I assumed the AT-ATs were like trucks and can't stop on a dime. They're slow and lumbering, which also means stopping that much mass takes time too.
I agree with your points but if we are going to add EU, then the Empire would also still have old Clone War era Juggernaut transports which are infinitely more practical on almost all fronts except maybe the mines and frontal firepower. Maybe the wheels wouldn't work on the ice covered Hoth but thats the only in lore reason of why I can think they wouldn't use them.
