Of course the troopers were terrible shots in this scene. They had to miss 'em, because Vader suggested to Tarkin, they'ld let the Falcon leed the Empire to the real rebel base.

Better than Disney Fan films are better than Disney!!

[@joev816]

If the movies don't have George Lucas as Director, Producer or stories taken from him, then the movie IS a Fan Film. EP VII VIII IX all fan films.

[@GamingMafia_id]

@@joev816 this has Lucas in it. So it's canon. I couldn't agree more lol.

[@Out-Cast75]

I've watched this like 40 times and I love it . This could easily be added to A New Hope. Would anyone like to see Return of the Jedi fight scene done abit longer and more aggressive, maybe Luke injures Vader so bad that is the reason Vader decides to tell him to pull his mask off. I feel that battle was missing somthing as well. Empire is perfect I wouldn't touch a thing.

[@TheMovieCranks]

The technology that fans can use as a hobby is getting incredible, the Deep Fakes are so real it is disturbing. I 100% agree with you that Empire is a masterpiece as is. - Mike

What really irks me about so many of these "reaction videos" is all of the splooging over the CG, the fight choreography, facial replacement software, etc., while at the same time missing that the real heart and soul of the entire reimagining is the overdub of "I hate you!" and "You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" from Episode III....

[@lordmortarius538]

The last words they'd said to each other until that moment. Gave me chills. I love how the emotion is played out in the action, you can feel Vader's rage and anger, anger at Obi-Wan for not saving him from himself all those years ago. Obi-Wan fights with regret, knowing even now he cannot kill Anakin, and so fights a delaying action so the others can escape. He knows he's not walking away from this fight.

[@ApolloFX_CZ]

Stormtroopers are not terrible shots ... in this instance they are under order not to stop them so they fire without aiming. Remember what Ben said at the beginning of the movie. "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise" and also most characters they are shooting at have plot armor :D

[@Tijuanabill]

OMG THEY AREN'T TERRIBLE SHOTS! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE MOVIE?!? They put a tracking device on the ship and Leia literally says later "They let us go, it's the only explanation for the ease of our escape." They don't put tracking devices on ships they are about to murder the owners of. Obviously.

[@TheMovieCranks]

Pretty sure that the thousands of grunts weren't in on the "master plan", certainly not the ones shooting in defense at Han and Luke. She was referring to the fact they didn't blow them out of the stars when they left the hangar bay. Tractor beam was down, but the turbolasers were fully operational.

Exactly. lol

[@HumbleTinkering]

What's the background music for 0:25 - 1:27?

[@nanomage]

Just once I'd like to see a fan edit where the stormtroopers turn around after the "No!!!" and double tap Luke who falls over dead as the others flee up the ramp of the ship to escape.

They rock. Subscribed

[@danielallenbutler1782]

"They are terrible shots...." Geez, you still don't get it after all these years? Yes, the stormtroopers never seemed to be able to hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle in that entire sequence of scenes because they were TOLD to miss! The whole idea was to LET Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and the droids escape so that the Falcon could be tracked to the rebel base on the Yavin moon. Back in 1977 I had a long discussion with four other fellow fanboys, and we were asking the same thing -- if, as Ben told Luke on Tatooine, Imperial Stormtroopers were "so precise" in their application of blaster fire (the scene where they found the destroyed Jawa sandcrawler), how the hell could those same troopers' shooting be so bad aboard the Death Star? But then we factored in the scene between Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin that takes place after the Falcon has left the Death Star and Luke and Han destroyed the four TIE fighters sent after them: Tarkin to Vader: "Are they away?" Vader: "They have just made the jump into hyperspace." Tarkin: "You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship?" In other words, all of the blaster-play aboard the Death Star was pure theater, done for the benefit of Luke, Leia, Han, et al, to make them feel as though they were in a dangerous situation, when the idea the whole time was to eventually let them get away. As far as Tarkin and Vader were concerned, a few dead stormtroopers on the Death Star was a more than fair exchange for being able to finally locate the hidden Rebel base. You'll notice that in The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi, the stormtroopers are a lot more effective -- because they're not under orders to deliberately miss....

Is the guy on the left Farva? He's lost some weight if it is.

[@TheMovieCranks]

That is a partial compliment but I'll take it, need all that I can get. 😆

[@GuardianGrarl]

Darth Vader isn't too slow... He's too terrifying.

[@TheJasonVoorhees]

This shit should be cannon

[@angelooutlaw386]

I loved seeing this fight at a faster pace compared to the original movie.

[@TheMovieCranks]

Great use of camera angles and lighting effects too, really upped the excitement level.

[@roya.cathcartjr.5042]

@@TheMovieCranks Disney has no love for Star Wars and it shows. I believe they only bought it knowing it to be a gravy train of cash for the company on royalties and residuals alone. Disney is the Edsel of Movies and Television Show making.

[@johnnapier5127]

Stormtroopers are terrible shots because none of them can aim for shit. Butt to shoulder, cheek to stock! How hard is that?

[@TheMovieCranks]

It has to be the helmets! 😆

@@TheMovieCranks That's what Captain Rex said.

You should not block part of the film. Some details would be lost...

We listed the original video in the description, make sure to check it out and leave them a thumbs up.

he's talking about how when green screen oursleves over the video just a bit.

[@wolfe8035]

If you thought TLJ was cool, then prepare to have your minds EXPLODE. I mean that almost literally (though still figuratively), because there is no comparison between the TLJ and what you just watched.

[@anthonywarren9885]

Dummies, this was 1977. They had money not the technology.

[@TheMovieCranks]

I think it was more a combo of both money and tech. They encountered quite a bit of resistance to the $11 million dollar price tag of the movie. The original lightsabers were made from camera parts and a whole pile of different junk they had available. This is a good article on it : consequenceofsound.net/2017/05/how-star-wars-almost-didnt-happen/

[@anthonywarren9885]

@@TheMovieCranks I don't care for articles. I get my info from Lucas himself who's done countless interviews over the decades about Star Wars. According to Lucas himself. Money wasn't a problem. The technology he had to invent himself because IT DIDN'T EXIST.

[@GamingMafia_id]

@@anthonywarren9885 not to mention the camera. It wasn't digital back then. Imagine the tedious work in it.

[@ajstyles5704]

Gaming Mafia dude, I still remember how even the opening texts was actually flat heading up, so they took a camera and record the screen from an angle was, just blew my mind how creative they were.
