[@apocalypse2798]

This is the happiest ive ever seen harison ford

[@queenicolumbo4857]

Thank you so much for uploading this, William Shatner was brilliant 😁xx

[@VHSVulture]

Welcome, sorry for the bad quality!

[@SUPERMAN3309]

William Shatner and Carrie Fisher stole the show 😆

[@kenowens9021]

Carrie Fisher's tribute is the funniest ever done on AFI. She beat out the professional comedians.

[@gregorylopez6024]

😢 We got a moment with Luke, Leia, and Han together. Something that mouse company couldn’t do. It’s a shame what Disney did to Star Wars.

[@edkeaton]

I love these AFI tributes, particularly this one!! I'm a big fan of "Star Wars" and the sequels/prequels. It's great that they gave George Lucas this honor for recognizing his work and the impact that it's had on cinema history! 🎉🎉

[@williambrown5934]

I feel so ashamed to say, only after 13 yrs after this happened am I seeing it for the first time.... Really, as a George Lucas’ Starwars fan- fanatic lol 😂 It was really heartwarming to watch!

[@VHSVulture]

I'm not sure it was ever on KZbin in its full length before, but welcome!

[@oobrocks]

Carrie Fisher was amazing!

[@williambrown5934]

I 200% agree- just wish we had gotten to see Harrison Ford’s reactions to her speech, since he was part of the early bit lol 😆

[@oobrocks]

Good point

[@amuroray7492]

For a thousand generations Star Wars was the guardian of all that was good in our childhood. Until the dark times...until the Disney...

[@AndyP998]

Shatner was 100% suprise to all of them it looks like

[@kathrinecatgirl935]

This is a good 1-hour video to watch on lunch time. Even though I'm not a fan of Star Wars, the Indiana Jones movies were the only George Lucas films that I really like, since it was the LEGO Indiana Jones games that introduced me to this franchise back around the time these video games were new. So as of today, I've collected the 2003 DVD collection that hasn't been unboxed yet, and a DVD collection of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles that I still haven't got a chance to give it a watch.

[@zoetropeguardian]

You'll love Young Indy! It's all George though as Steven Spielberg wasn't involved. It's my favourite series. Just know it's very different in tone and story to the films as it's more educational in nature as it's meant to introduce kids and teenagers to many different prospectives with history being the main one. You really feel like you're growing up with Indy and seeing him mature as it goes along. It makes me emotional watching as it brought me back to feeling like a child again. I hope you'll let me know how your experience goes.

[@erindurkin4441]

8:44 Anakin's Theme from The Phantom Menace played briefly! I hardly recognized it at first!

[@Brian-uy2tj]

William Shatner's opening was brilliant, absolutely brilliant. One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

[@EkaridonGaming]

Carrie Fisher is such a fucking icon

[@jacquelane1066]

Love seeing the entire broadcast!

[@crowtservo]

40:44 The closest we ever got to seeing Luke, Leia and Han do a scene together after ROTJ because the nimrods at Disney couldn’t be bothered to just have one more scene with those three together again. I hate Kathleen Kennedy and JJ Abrams so much, they really screwed up the chance of a lifetime.

[@VHSVulture]

Yeah, wish it had ended at the point represented by this award!

[@Jacob-2005]

You’re right

[@rakhibisht9324]

I got emotonal when they got the standing ovation

[@javiercortes5232]

Your comment is the compendium of the lack of cultural preparation of SW "fans" that don't understand the evolution of the project since 2013. Buy a Disneyland's ticket and visit Galaxie's Edge

[@jordanbyrd6251]

I think that's the most anyone has seen George smile when the family pictures came up.

[@FredPickett]

One of the best.

[@goldflyknows]

Golly Harrison Ford was hammered. But loved his speeches....

[@FredPickett]

Thank You George for Your good work.

[@Supermanfan99]

Kathleen Kennedy saw that standing ovation with the 3 of them together and thought “We’re not putting them together on screen. We don’t want that kind of audience reception to the sequels.”

[@varunajith100]

Thank you so much for uploading this very important 33rd AFI life achievement award in 2005 given to my all time hero since childhood George Lucas and seeing the entire original lead cast and all the very important Hollywood cinema icons that I grew up with. I'm so happy I got to watch this very important event. Thank you George Lucas my hero. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mirkavaris5756]

May the force be whit you

[@carlytr23]

Been looking for this for a long time thanks

[@joshuablanchette878]

that desert chase scene is still my favorite scene in any action movie.

[@tetsuoswrath]

I love that “impact” is in impact font.

[@Justinian43]

back then I didn’t get to see Revenge as a kid, so when I watched this tribute, at 1:12:28 that’s the only scene my little kid mind had from the movie and I would play it out with my toys over and over again, I would go on to save my allowance to buy Revenge on DVD and finally watch the whole movie!

[@jennystaecker769]

My brother Chris was super fan of Star Wars films since 1979 and 1980 he had darth Vader case for his Star Wars action figures he seen Star Wars permire of stars wars new hope, Empire strikes back, return of Jedi

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Wonderful👍😃❤⚡

[@Bizr-007]

wish there was a higher resolution version, this was great.

[@VHSVulture]

A partial version can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2GbhmuJet6ihdE

[@rafaeljesusification]

typical star wars fan, i laughed out loud the whole video, until i reached 1:17:56 i CRIED out loud

[@VHSVulture]

True fan!

[@oobrocks]

I love Bill Shatner; sue me if disagree! 😆

[@kunalmalhotra3634]

Star Trek DID change everything

[@alexiscarrington-colby733]

humble! HUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RichardBejtlich]

40:35 recreating the end of episode IV was cool!

[@eargasm1072]

Chewie congratulating George is the best 😄then the cut to Carrie, face in her hands shaking her head!! Shatner kills it "Star Trek changed everything"

[@MrgoldenRose]

Wow ❤❤

[@weeklywheelnews]

I think they missed Willow in that intro montage unless I missed it

[@VHSVulture]

Isn't 1:50 from Willow?

[@Cybertron-cs7sk]

A moment in time Revenge Of The Sitn had been in theatres for 2 weeks and was a huge hit from audience and critics alike and after this George felt like he had peaked and was time to step down and retire. Unfortunately, selling to Disney was the second worst decision for Star Wars, and this was superseded by being blind sided and believing Kathleen Kennedy had an original creative thought and actually cared about Star Wars. It was clear that Kathleen Kennedy was found out when left to own talents that she had none. In truth, it had nothing to do with her producing success it was because she was married to Frank Marshall or was Spielberg's assistant and then was assistant producer to George

[@sambridgers9543]

I just need to find a copy without the French subtitles, because I remember watching one years ago.

[@VHSVulture]

There is a version without (Danish) subtitles here, but it's missing the first part. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2GbhmuJet6ihdE

[@arunstephan302]

Can anyone please tell me what song or music composition is playing in the background while William Shatner is saluting George Lucas is being honoured as an AFI Award winner?

[@VHSVulture]

You mean "I Did it My Way" by Frank Sinatra?

[@arunstephan302]

Yes. Thanks dear. I got the song last night and have listened to it for so many times.

[@VHSVulture]

@@arunstephan302 You're welcome!

[@alexiscarrington-colby733]

NEVER NEGATE!

[@vezner]

It's heartbreaking to watch this knowing what Disney will do to Star Wars (and likely soon to be Indiana Jones) in a few short years. :(

[@marywise7661]

disney did NOTHING to star wars.without them we wouldnt have it now remember that

[@vezner]

@@marywise7661 BS. Disney has destroyed Star Wars. Fact. And you have no idea where Star Wars would be if Disney hadn’t bought it. Also a fact.

[@marywise7661]

george lucas retired so there would NOT have been a 7 8 and 9 .like he told everyone who asked him THAT is a fact@@veznerand no disney did NOT ruin star wars in any way shape or form.i grew up with the original trilogy.i first saw star wars in 1977 when i was 5.and i LOVE all star wars movies

[@zoetropeguardian]

​@@marywise7661 Actually no. George changed his mind and started up again with developing his Sequels in 2011. Disney came into the picture soon after and he ulimately decided to sell the company. They decided to discard his stories soon after.

[@marywise7661]

@@zoetropeguardian from what i read the reason he sold it was because of the fans degradeing him and the actors.but there were so many things said who knows whats true.he told fans for years there would be no 7 8 and 9 .then people said he was workin on them so who knows what was truth and what was lies

[@space_4736]

Maroon 5 performed wtf?

[@deanmc178]

where are the english comments

[@Redbridgepodcaststudios]

Why didn’t George direct all 3

[@VHSVulture]

He doesn't like directing, but then one wonders why he insisted on directing the prequels.

[@zoetropeguardian]

​@@VHSVultureHis friends kept telling him he needs to get back into directing and because of the risks with the technologies he was using since Young Indy (and Radioland Murders). It was a major step and he already had the experience that a newbie director wouldn't with the direction he was taking cinema. It was easier if he did it himself. He was also very heavily involved in both Empire and Jedi. He gave guidelines in how both were to be shot and was involved in many sequences the directors of both weren't even on set for. They're George's films through and through. I recommend Jonathan Rinzler's Making Of books. Thank you for uploading this too. I miss George making films. He's my hero.

[@VHSVulture]

@@zoetropeguardian can't argue with that, watching the new sequels has definitely made me appreciate the prequels more!

[@zoetropeguardian]

​@@VHSVulture It looks like my reply never came through on your end. Let me try sending it again. I highly recommend checking out Rick Worley's Star Wars essays on here. They're very in-depth and may give you even more appreciation for them.

[@MooseMalarkey]

So confused…. Vader didn’t yell No before throwing Sidious down the shaft

[@zoetropeguardian]

He made a change to that moment to make it more consistent with the other five films in the 2011 re-release. In particular the moment in Revenge of the Sith that it's most clearly drawing a connection to show Anakin's different choice.

[@Redbridgepodcaststudios]

This is impossible to get in good quality because George goes bogeyed

[@orsenal]

before the dark times... before THE WOKENESS...

[@VHSVulture]

Or rather, before Ryan Johnson... star wars has always been left wing.

[@VHSVulture]

@@Voltar the ewoks were based on the viet cong and the "if youre not with me youre my enemy" line from anakin was based on george bush during the Iraq war. Someone needs to watch the films again and read some george lucas interviews, it seems.

[@Brian-uy2tj]

More like before Palpetine Trump........

[@deanmc178]

the sad news is ,, indie the fire is going out

[@alexiscarrington-colby733]

GEORGE IS A sadist!

[@alexiscarrington-colby733]

aSAGE!

[@alexiscarrington-colby733]

COSTING TOO MUCH TO CHASE HIM~!
