[@kingbubbafatt9945]

In Battle Front 2, there is a Hoth map and in Galactic Assault, you go inside the base. In the base, there are Taun Taun stables. One is filled with something that looks like hay. Taun Tauns eat hay I think.

[@classicalricky]

airliners also have spoilers to help slow them after landing.

[@johngordon6526]

yea, random fact for the day. They're called spoilerons now and actually do a lot of the work that ailerons do in modern airliners. They also yaw the aircraft at the same time so you don't need to use the rudder as much for a turn (you don't feel your but sliding around as much while turning).

[@Makocat]

Me too!

[@MrCuttysark1982]

My only gripe is that they pop the brakes as they are pulling up.

[@CarrieWhitaker]

Brakes or air vectoring to make a maneuver, which seems more likely. Brake some so it can maneuver faster. Though really to work like it should have, the other one on top should have opened, to slow it on the starboard side so it would pull the speeder over away from the AT-AT faster.

[@Norbert_Sattler]

At 3:15 I like how they have so many different blasters, as opposed to the standardized Empire, where every stormtrooper has the same weapon. This makes the rebellion feel more like a rebellion, than a fully organized military.

[@MrChickennugget360]

This is probably my favorite battle in the OT, out of the three I feel like Endor will probably have the most weird stuff going on in the background.

[@AdmiralBlackstar]

Honestly, that shot pointing out how maneuverable the AT-AT can be makes me think Disney really missed an opportunity with the Battle of Crait, where they could've used CGI to demonstrate their agility a bit more. (The could've also added AA guns to the sides and rear but that's a separate design issue), instead of going for a rehash of this that somehow comes across as less impressive despite having so much more tech to work with.

[@Ranger1812]

The sequels are full of worse tech, it seems. Their speeders use treads...

[@AdmiralBlackstar]

@@Ranger1812 Looking that up, apparently that's because they can work around the ability to jam speeders. I feel like this makes it worst somehow.

[@treystephens6166]

That’s because Disney doesn’t care.

[@critter30002001]

To be fair some of the things actually makes sense. Air brakes would be on the speeder’s bottom as well as to help with controlling it. The guys on the flanks would be watching their areas rather than the front, especially since the rebels used binoculars for finding their targets. Also even if you don’t get directly hit, the blast does affect you, and if you are running with a heavy pack and weapon it doesn’t take much to drop after losing your balance.

[@zeratul____1228]

You know I always remember the speeders being this clean white but no, they are dirty grey and look like they have been well used, hell everything the Rebels use has that aesthetic and it really helps build the world. UNlike the new movies where everything feels too clean, it really looks sanitised and sterile

[@MrChickennugget360]

Yup. One of the best things about the OT is how messy everything is. i really like how the weapons in A New Hope make smoke so that the corridors get smoky during fire fights.

[@MandoWookie]

They actually do add a lot of this kind of used universe details for the Resistance stuff in the Sequels. It just somehow just comes across as sanitized anyway. You can't fault the set and FX guys for any of the Star Wars movies, it the directing and writing teams that let things down. The FX and production techs put way more thought into things than anybody actually in charge did. Same problem in Blase Runner 2049, it comes across as cleaner than the original despite some parts being literally set in a junkyard.

[@Jason-iz6ob]

I only noticed recently how different the full size replica Speeders are to the models used in flight. In the base they look almost brushed metal in color with no red markings on. Outside they're light grey with all the red on them.

[@bucketmanpalemin9603]

Tauntauns eat fungus that lives in the various ice caves. You can see in a few games the Rebels brought some hey for them to eat too Those flaps on the Snowspeeders allow them to slow down the craft and even drift. Basically the flap catches the air and if it's only on one side it pulls the speeder to the side and let's it turn, if both sides catch then it slows the speeders.

@@bucketmanpalemin9603 Yes, they're omnivorous. Unlike their natural predator: Wampas, which are carnivorous. Can't remember if anything else preys on them. The only reason for that dead one in the Rebel base is because the Rebels didn't realize that there were Wampas wandering the corridors at night and sometimes preying on the domesticated Tauntauns. The Rebels spent 2 years constructing Echo Base on Hoth and it took that long for them to discover the Wampas. The only other reason the Wampas weren't detected on the sensors is that only military-grade sensors can detect them. Otherwise, Luke and Han would've detected them while scouting and laying out the sensors and Luke wouldn't have been captured by one.

In the current canon of STAR WARS there is nothing said about types of soldiers from the Rebel Alliance , but in legends to some types of soldiers , and the soldiers that appear in this battle are specforces , which are soldiers specialized in a specific type of terrain , in this case in the ice desert of Hoth.

[@Wriath9]

@@valecrassus7835 wasn't pointless the entire strategy for the rebels was to draw the empire to go after the power generators. The other side of the base had all the transports and hangers which were lightly defended. Those rebel troops needed to put up as much of a fight as possible to buy time for the evacuation.

[@kilroy987]

9:09 I'm impressed that they incorporated some volumetric lighting in front of the snowspeeder - it really looks like it's there. You missed one shot with an AT-AT falling over - another AT-AT in the distance just turns its head - it's clearly a smaller model.

[@chrisjhart]

And they use a stick poking up through the floor into the foot to push the AT-AT over. Once you see it you'll always look at it.

[@hellowhat890]

0:36 Sometimes in combat, even if an explosion hits nearby or misses you, you could still be startled in a adrenaline-induced state to while retreating/running in the direction you're going. That Rebel, who probably did or didn't die, was probably running with a clear line of sight in his mind. When the explosion went off, it probably rattled him to the point where his reaction was to change direction immediately which resulted in him tripping or falling down. Putting too much focus on what he was trying to do, and then immediately having to change the mentality of it all due to a sudden explosion was probably why he fell down. Or the explosive force from the blast was probably bigger than what we saw onscreen and pushed him down. Who knows?

[@danielcaskey3826]

When I see close calls like 9:45 still result in the guy tumbling to the ground, I usually think like "well, if I had a human sized blast of crazy-space-laser-energy go right by me and slam into the ground ahead of me, I'm pretty sure my eardrums would burst and my equilibrium would be thrown off enough for me to stumble while I'm running." I do agree about the next guy around 10:30 being a blunder, though.

[@TheRyujinLP]

He could of also have taken shrapnel if that blast hit a rock or something else hard. Also given that "lasers" in Star wars are particle beam/plasma beam it he could of been effected by the thermal pulse of the blast.

[@BFCrusader]

@@TheRyujinLP It's also conceivable that a laser blast of that magnitude passes through the body instead of dissipating upon impact. The damage is still done and is catastrophical, but not as visible both due to how quick the guy's fall is as well as the fact the movie is supposed to be not very gory so the injury is hidden.

[@adamlhayman]

I kinda took it for cucussive damage. The shot right next to the guy that collapses a few steps later could well be explained that way. It's like getting hit from a grenade. Unless the grenade is specifically designed to send an even shrapnel pattern (see pineapple grenade) most grenade kills are because of the pressure wave overwhelming organs and nerve function. Pure inertia and (I forget the exact word for it) the secondary brain in the spine that lets you react before your main brain processes the stimuli would have kept him going for a step or 2.

[@TheRyujinLP]

@@BFCrusader While yes, an plasma bolt of that power would punch through a human body like a hot knife though butter so that might be true buuuut..... I'm gonna over analyze this and let you know how horrible that would of been in reality. You see, there's this thing were if the body is hit with more then 400 joules per square centimeter.... the water in it.... explodes into steam.... soooo.... remember the flash back scene from the first Terminator where that girl soilder flubs her grenade throw and gets hit by the HK's shot? Yeah, that is a 100% realistic depiction of what would happen in real life.

[@BFCrusader]

@@TheRyujinLP Sure, but neither the technology or the movie's rating allowed for such depictions. So perhaps we should stick with something that is at the very least somewhat plausible to keep the enjoyment of the scene.

[@wallyman292]

I remember seeing this for the first time as a kid when it came out. I thought one of the coolest shots was the one of the Falcon leaving Hoth and Luke glancing over his shoulder seeing it go by. It has nothing to do with the story, but it just seems so realistic. Luke hears a ship that sounds completely different from all the others, so turns and sees it's the Falcon. Or else, he actually recognizes the sound of the Falcon and that's why he turns to watch it leave (although not sure how he'd know what it sounds like from outside the ship). Regardless, a great, 2 second shot to include.

There is a story behind the dead tauntaun. It was killed by a Wampa. Originally they wanted to do a subplot of Wampas storming Echo Base. They shot several scenes of rebels falling back in corridors and shooting up at something big. They couldn't quite get the Wampas looking real enough tho thats why it was cut and why they never actually showed the Wampa in the orginal theater release of ESB. It is still canon however that Wampas were in Echo Base from "Star Wars Forces of Destiny" and a deleted scene from ESB where C3PO rips a warning sign off the door (same door from "Forces of Destiny") and then snowtroopers try to open it. The Wampa grabs the first one and the next one quickly closes it as Vader walks up and says "Everything is under control, sir." 😂

One of the scenes that was cut from the movie , was the scene that showed more monsters that attacked Luck , they were trapped in the base but they escaped , they even kill some of the animals that the rebels pile , and there is a quick confrontation between the rebels , but only had a few shots and a soldier slipping on the ground after being hit . Another very cool sena from the movie that was cut is the scene where Han , Leia and C3-PO are running away , in that sena a room had the aforementioned creature , there was a sign saying danger , but C3-PO took it out , and then 3 snowtroopers blind to raid the doors when they open a claw captures one of the soldiers (who releases the famous Wilhelm Scream) then the door closes and the two other soldiers only hear the chewing sounds.

The dead Taun Taun in the Rebel base was part of a deleted scene where Han was having a conversation with some rebel officers about a Wampa that got into the base and killed some of the Taun Tauns before it confined to an area and sealed off with a danger sign. This would have later been followed up in a scene (that was cut out) as Han, Leia and 3PO were heading the last transport that Leia was originally get on, as they passed the door, 3PO removes the danger sign and stormtroopers that were following end up going in and getting slaughter by the Wampa. The only time we see the door is in the final cut just before the cave in causing Leia to escape with Han on the Falcon.

Here's some information about that comment you make, the man running when the blast that doesn't hit him, but kills him anyway. Lasers are super heated beams of light and plasma. When it hits snow and ice, it instantly vaporizes most of the frozen stuff, but not all of it. about .5% of the liquified water instantly turns to back into ice on the Hoth's extreme -50`c or colder weather. Considering that those ice shards are traveling faster than a bullet, he was running into a could of flying deadly shrapnel with out a face shield.

I'm pretty sure tauntons eat lichen, small ice plants, Hoth hogs, and something else, but i can't remember

Great video. My all time favorite scene in all of film history. I noticed to fairly glaring errors (at least to geeks like us who may notice them) that you didn't mention. 1. @ 3:14 of the video, in the background of the troops lining up in the trench, there is a burned out gun turret that is clearly smoking. But, the battle hasn't even begun at this point in the film. 2. @ 9:22 (the shot you and I both love). The guy being blasted in the heel and stumbling as he runs. If you notice, he has run between troopers sitting at Tripod guns facing AWAY from the battle. Away from the oncoming walkers. The guy on screen right became painfully obvious to me once the Blu Ray came out. Wow. How the hell did they miss that!

i have watched ready player one far too many times, the car race scene is filled with soooooo many inconcistencies its absolutly insane. its a must watch for the laughs at how many, how did that car get there's, well worth a counter. oh god damn it looks like im gonna watch it again tonight.

[@sharkdentures3247]

Nice that you included bits from the S.P.F.X (Special Effects) special for Empire in your video. (I watched my home recording of that 100s of times!)

I'm not criticizing you for not knowing this and many people say the same thing about some grenades and explosions but the sudden air pressure resulting from blasts and explosions like that can be like a bolder hitting your chest, shattering your ribs into your lungs and heart with such force you can drown in your own blood or die from your heart being impaled even if you're a good distance away. That's one reason why bomb squads have those huge pads around their torso, to dampen the blow. Love the content!

A Tauntaun's Diet consists of .Small ice plants[3] .Lichen[3] .Hoth hogs[7] .Ice scrabblers[7

[@Simcore999]

When it came out, it was one of the rare day fights and the best yet in my opinion

[@ilpoomatili9549]

9:30 maby he just tripped and was like: wait if I lay here im gona live, if I run I wil die

[@clonecoric4140]

The battle of Umbara would be sick as hell.

[@ViewpointProd]

2:10 is from the deleted wampa subplot, there's more scenes of the examination of the tauntaun (though they have yet to be released)

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

The stuntmen did great death acrobatics, then were made to look like they'd mistimed them when the laser bolts were added afterwards.

[@mrbum6320]

3:58 the two little AT-AT’s in the background were actually cardboard cutouts made by one of the crew members.

[@jamesdouglas6977]

This is by far the best battle in ANY Star Wars movie. Everything after this just tries to aspire to be better.

[@procrastination_builds]

I'm guessing the dead tauntaun could be part of the deleted scene where the wampas were going to attack the rebel base by digging through the ice walls.

[@curtiscarlson8958]

I think disecting battles from old WWII movies would be hilarious, you know ones like movies with John Wayne in them, that genre. Of course any Western is fun even in real time. Great Job BTW!!!

[@rblanc0095]

MJ reviewing spaghetti westerns lmaoooo i love this idea

[@TheamazingLM1]

The guy who didn’t even get hit probably died of the explosion

[@logancoker5205]

Great video thanks. I love star wars.

[@chrisortega7521]

Can't believe you missed the AT-AT falling over. Someone had to push it with a stick. Back foot, camera-side, right.

[@rancor_tears5956]

The two tiny at-ats in the backgrond were like just static cardboard cutouts or something

[@IsaacGroff12]

The one where he was away from the blast was probably him stumbling in shock and being too tired to get up

[@panfrei5932]

you missed the Cannon sled in the background. there is even a lego set based on this obscure vehicle.

[@razvandobos9759]

Wish they kept the scene where General Veers’s Blizzard 1 got hit by Hobbie’s snowspeeder.
