“Go back and fix the film.” Why can Disney do that with the Sequels and the Obi wan show??!!!!!

Always fascinating to watch. As much as "fans" may hate the changes, it's George's movies and he had the right to do with them what he pleased. A lot of that stuff was always supposed to be there, so it's silly that people demand we get an older, unfinished cut of the movies. And even if the dance number and Jedi was changed it's still a bunch of goofy little creatures doing a jazz number, or Greedo firing first because it was always clear Han was acting in self defense. Even if he shot first it was obvious that Greedo intended to kill him there, and he says as much to Jabba.

Great job!

28:27 I watched these documentaries every time I popped my copies of the Special Editions into my VHS player back in 1997. But there definitely wasn't a clip of Dennis Muren eluding to the prequels...

RIP Carrie Fisher 😢

FLAWLESS EDIT 😎🥊💙

Drago! Drago! Drago!!!

I remember watching this over and over when I was younger, just as awesome as I remember

Nice Try... Good Luck, Jim.

Una de las mejores canciones de la película 🎥🎥 en efecto esto es cine 🎥🎥🎥

"Rocky V" has taken a ton of shit over the years and has been considered the weakest entry in the original six. Had Stallone directed it instead of John G. Avildsen, this film would probably be getting the same Director's Cut treatment "Rocky IV" got. As it stands, there's a workprint cut of "Rocky V" featuring deleted scenes that would've made the movie better than how it turned out.

This version of "Gonna Fly Now" has a funk-jazz groove to it that's, frankly, not present in the official studio release.

Biography!

Sometimes, a lack of funding breeds creativity - which I would argue is what made the original version so groundbreaking. Even today, the older version is what I want to see - to remember the feeling of the film as it was in the theater in 77. To me, the 'special' edition is a slap in the face to the original design/special effects team who worked their asses off and who won Oscars for their incredible work.

Everybody can change y'all

I think watching this documentary hammers home the main issue I have with the special edition changes. It's not really the changes or that there are several different versions of the original star wars trilogy. that actually makes watching star wars fun. But the lack of a good high quality version of the original trilogy in it's unaltered form hurts the genuine passion that went into these changes. If Lucas had just done a remaster of the unaltered trilogy and preserving both those cuts and the special edition I don't think there'd be any real issue with the changes Lucas made over the years. But because Lucas withheld it and Disney has no plans of re releasing them either there is an argument for Lucas basically destroying his art by keeping the unaltered cuts lost to time.

I see the "Special Editions" as a "What if Star Wars had more money with next generation computer graphic technology and George could put in more stuff and changes in Star Wars?". He didn't need to, to be honest. I don't think he appreciated the film-making limitations he had. But I can respect that he had a bigger vision with Star Wars. So I can look at the original and the Special Editions as a "What If". Thank goodness I can see them both.

1997 great releases year for Harrison Ford : the original trilogy rereleased, the devils own and Air Force One .

How can that girl be so cold to poor Peter in the beginning of the clip?

The Special Editions foreshadowed the utter disaster of the Prequels, which made Lucas sell to Disney, giving us now Disney Woke fake Star Wars.

Jabba looks like a Jimmy Neutron villain in the 1997 version of Episode IV.

Back when a Spiderman movie felt special 👍 The original Spider-Man 2 is still the best (and the best parts of No Way Home was simply all scenes involving all three spidermen)

The best mix of both songs, this is the definitive version for me✨

The first seconds sound very similar to Mother 3's love theme

Jimmy Neutron

"No problem, Nasty Butler!" Most iconic line.

Bravo

There’s a special place in my heart for the 97 special editions as someone who was 10 years old at the time and experiencing the films for the first time ever. But looking back at this, man those Mos Eisley sequences look pretty horrible.

this is f*cking EPIC !!!

I went to go watch spiderman 2 with my brother last night this was a childhood achievement for me since i was too young to see it in theaters even spiderman 1 both films were badass we had a packed theater everyone clapped at the end of the film man where has the time go back when superhero movies were just a simple story

The match sticks have got longer , was this due to Fire Safety

"I'm too old for this s**t." - LAPD Detective Sgt. Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover)

Jimmy Neutron (1999)

I love it

This could be the end of Spiderman

Professor X: i want to asked you this question, did you believe that the future is truly set .

I can hear Rocky screaming "Drago" at the end of the song

The peak of my childhood nostalgia factor was seeing the original trilogy on the big screen and discovering this documentary on the making of the 1997 Special Edition. It's still facinating to revisit despite the criticisms of 'fixing' the films. At the time, this was a big deal. I happily embraced 90% of the changes let alone seeing the films in a much better restored condition on the big screen. I'll never forget the experience.

What a duo its a pledger to watch them both they really are a great team 😂
