Only an last the tune she could sing!

Anyone who struggles to understand a Star Wars opening crawl must be a fucking dimwit.

For anyone wanting the learn this version on guitar, I think the tuning is: 1st: A 2nd: G 3rd: D 4th: C 5th: G 6th: C

Sir Paul! 😅

One of the great voices; one of the great guitarists.

Kermode is on fire here, the more irritated he gets with Lucas's financial avarice the funnier he gets.

So powerful and beautiful, very, very impressive

The beautiful, "My Name is Death" by the Incredible String Band is clearly based on this.

He's wrong about the prequels but right about 3D. See "In Defence of the Star Wars Prequels" by Chris Cutrone. It's on KZbin, read by the author. Short essay.

missed dave legend

No George, no!

And we've learned nothing since then.

The famous flower of serving men is incredible.

This version is amazing ❤❤

not even 3D could make the characters in this film three dimensional

When we younger

You know what? That bit about George Lucas saying he thought of the films as a launchpad for the children to go and make stories with their toys has rinsed away the final lingering disappointment I have for Star Wars. It reminded me of me and my friends using teaspoons to dig trenches and "bases" for our Star Wars and Action Force and A-Team figures that existed together in one universe "out the front" as the patch of grass in front of our square of houses was called. It reminded me how much I loved that Ewok film and the cartoons of Droids and The Ewoks, because it wasn't until I was a little older that Star Wars would be played at Christmas by, I think, Central Telvision... by that time I had moved on to Transformers...and then Thundercats and then TMNT and then Jungle Music and TWOC-ing ...and then life, children of my own who made their own adventures with their toys and Minecraft. ... Its better to play and invent than to watch and consume.

Imagine being a little boy, that up until recently lived as a slave on a desert planet and your mam hands you off to two blokes, who take you to a different planet where a CGI gremlin and some pompus dudes whose respose when you answer their questions of "How do you feel? with "I'm a bit cold actually" is "Awww poor liddle baby are you scared of losing your mommy? What a chickenshit, you better smarten up or you will end up inside a bondage suit killing Alec Guinness".... Kill them, kill them all Anakin, and then kill the people who said "No, you will be fine George, you don't need scriptwriters, YOU da man, boiii! etc etc.."

I’m from Chicago. Heading over there today! Going to recreate the photo with the family for some fun. It’s a pilgrimage for any Smiths fan!

🤘🏻

This is absolutely divine. God bless and thank you for this beautiful song

Have always loved it

Lovely bloke Martin had a chat,photo & he signed my Watersons/Cathy cd played a great gig here in Bath & I walked with him after the show back to his hotel 🙂

The chorus to Mole In A Hole sounds a bit like I'am an Urban Spaceman by the Bonzo Dog Band.

The whole crawl about the taxation of trade routes definitely threw me off the first time I saw it in the cinema at age 12. I couldn't understand one word of it until the word Jedi Knights showed up in the last paragraph and I'm not sure if anyone else that age or older could either. I didn't know what the Jedi were doing on that ship at the beginning, couldn't follow the whole scheme with Darth Sidious, or pay attention to what Queen Amidala was discussing with her staff and fellow diplomats. If Lucas made it for kids and knew kids would dominate the audience, he should have put a story in there that they could grasp because even now as an adult, I can see that the whole taxation issue is so irrelevant to the rest of the movie. It has no weight at all on the conflict that ensues and is only ever brought up at the Senate hearing but it's not a problem to resolve when the plot gets so muddled with everyone going on the run from one planet to another, Jar Jar getting into trouble, the Sith constantly plotting to make their move, and a little boy getting initiated into Jedi-hood after winning a lengthy race. It's laughable that a tax dispute is what lays the groundwork for all that baggage to fall into place.

Mark Kermode is the key to all this. We have to make sure we get him right. Because he's a funnier film critic than we've ever had.

I love to hear Norma talk. and sing of course.

Genius, moving rewrite

RIP Norma - thanks for the songs and the singing.

RIP Norma, what a voice and what joy you brought

What's there left to say? I saw Norma , Martin and Eliza playing in London in the nineties. They were a fine group. Norma did her version of "The Lowlands of Holland." Brilliant as ever. Rest in Peace.

only just heard - RIP

Rip Norma. These videos are a testament to you

Norma Waterson, a superlative exponent of legendary songs, a lovely, friendly, kind person, a member of an exceptionally gifted singing family and someone I knew and admired. She will be very much missed but her reputation and recorded work will live on and gain stature. I first heard the Watersons in the Blue Bell in Hull, many years ago, an experience for which I am very grateful. Thank you, thank you, Norma. You live on in our memories.

I hope you are resting in peace, dear lady. God knows you gave us much joy.

Good night & God bless Norma you and your Brother, Sister, Husband and Daughter have been such an inspiration to a Barnsley redundant miner xxx

"Your time's up, You've got to go" RIP Norma Waterson, beautiful lady

As a musician, I have learned more from Martin Carthy than from anybody else about how to accompany the voice, or any lead part for that matter. He's always been great at it, and he keeps getting better.

How are Martin and Norma related?

RIP Norma. Thank you for a lifetime of beautiful music.

Thanks so much for posting.

Luz eterna para Norma Waterson. Gigante.

R I P Norma !! From America here.

RIP Norma. Mossy Christian posted this song, a very apt choice indeed for you in your memory. Rest well. <3

Wise words. Whoever wrote this song is long gone, as we'll all be. RIP Norma

Rest in peace, Norma. You, along with Martin and the other Watersons have been a key player in the early British folk revival. Bless you and thank you so much. ❤️

Bless you dear, old, bones, Norma. you can have a good rest now.

"Your time's up, you've got to go." RIP Norma.

Bless you Norma..."your times up...you've got to go..." and boy will we miss you xxx
