Star Wars (ships only)

[@Cr0misc]

Absolutely love how they used clever tricks with matte paintings and models, like at 5:35 - 5:38 part. You can see how they used a laser flash to switch from matte painting to a prop model for the trench run.

[@dixievfd55]

They used pieces from Battleship sets to create the surface of the Death Star.

[@koopanique]

I had never realized! Can't unsee it now ^^

[@starguard4122]

1977 version.. Thank you Sir... Thank You!!

[@jcharmaine1]

Question how can see see the death star next to a gas giant?

[@jcharmaine1]

I mean like yavin prime is the biggest planet in star wars yet we can see the death star next to it tho

[@futureboy9422]

2:53 I like how the Falcon was like “Nope, not today!” and left right after entering the Death Star.

[@GaylordCohen]

I remember my cousin taking my little brother and I to see the original "Star Wars" at a local theater in the Detroit, MI area, way back in '77, while I was on vacation from boarding school. I had a fun-filled sense of "immersion" seeing that film, kinda like a "you-are-there" feeling, and that's how I *really fell in love* with science fiction! I guess that no matter *how old* I get, there are a lotta great things in my childhood that I'll *NEVER* outgrow!

[@cbstevp]

Just over 8 minutes of film took up over half their budget. A price well paid for without these scenes done so well the movie would never have been a success.

[@CarlosGamesCG5173]

6:06 this shot is so satisfactory

[@starsiegeplayer]

I appreciate the inclusion of the original models in this video rather than the CGI stuff from the later re-release.

[@gochem3013]

Honestly, the first time I saw A New Hope was the 1997 version. Later in 2012, I saw a 1977 version of A New Hope I prefer the 1977 and 1997 version.

[@potatohead1423]

It was NOT "A New Hope." It was simply STAR WARS.

[@robgyanisu312]

@@potatohead1423 Sorry to bust your bubble, but when I first saw this movie- *_IN 1977_* -IT WAS TITLED "Star Wars Episode IV 'A New Hope'"!

[@bonkobonko6707]

Temmin Wexley the cg scenes look so out of place in a 70s movie.

[@randomobserver8168]

Finally the cut I've always wanted. Also, I never realized the final battle was over half the in-space scenes. I suppose obvious in retrospect.

[@stephendoherty8291]

Looks like stormtrooper patrol duty extends to walking in space around their own deathstars. And that didn't end well either

[@ivanhuertac.2687]

In this original version, there are some beautiful shots. The version what I appreciate when I was a 12 years old kid. Thanks too much!

[@gochem3013]

Dolby Stereo Level: *INSANITY*

[@hugoverdeguer6891]

..at 13 in '77, this blew me away. I had to know more about this.. Dykstraflex camera driven by memory system..I remain blown away.

[@vox1138]

Thanks, this is the only version that can bring one back to the excitement of 1977. Getting flashbacks of being 14 again. (Even appreciate the close-up view in the formatted version. Also, this has the Falcon sounding its' best - not the ear-piercing shrill pitch in the special edition (flying to the rebel base part- and 'starsiegeplayer' is right - original model ships far better than the CGI.)

[@gochem3013]

Calm the heck down, 1977! Your Stereo Sound is going crazy!

2:02 Wow, that guy knows some maneuvers.

[@ifstatementifstatement2704]

When I was a kid and I watched these spaceships they were the future to me. Once cgi became prominent and they started making spaceships that looked like toys, with lively colours and rounded shapes, it no longer had that magic.

[@amandastanger963]

I watched Star Wars when I was little with my grandmother and family. I loved Luke, but now I love Han.

[@BeckyEmbers]

I love it when you mash up stuff like this.

[@ashman187]

Hyperspace looks like doctor Who. The best!

[@OptimysticPessimyst]

It’s phenomenal to see the original effects in a video. I genuinely haven’t seen this version of the footage since I was very little and my dad had the OT on VHS. That being said, anyone who says the updated ones are worse are straight up delusional. George has always treated his films (especially the OT) as unfinished and eventually he got them the way he wanted them to look. Whether you like them or not he got his films made and you can do nothing but respect that. Personally, prefer the updated versions but I will always look back on this footage with nothing but fondness. Such a shame Disney have effectively started to put the nails in this franchise’s coffin after footage like this gave it life.

[@p.j.c.2.0]

Forgot the scene when the falcon left tatooine

[@RBrown803]

That's from the special edition not the original 1977 release.

[@chrisurwin9310]

We've captured a freighter entering remains of the Alderaan system. Its markings matches those ships that blasted its way out of Mos Eisley. (There was a clip of the Falcon lifting straight out of shot from docking bay 94)

[@wonderfulwookiee6443]

I think because there are stormtroopers in that scene, and this is just supposed to be the ships.

Obviously,Death Stars dont validate parking!

@@awfine510 it's a battle station the size of a small moon aka a dwarf planet, a movable battle station isn't a ship. Pods aren't a ship because no one uses them to get from point A - B, they can get you to B but not from A but somewhere in-between...
