Ok I have a theory. It's a bit far-fetched, but I think Vader is Luke's father. It would only make sense. He didn't kill him in the last movie, and in the trailer when that voice said there was anger in him, much like his FATHER. Not to mention, Vader also means Father in Dutch. I'm calling it.

[@gabrielmatsunaga]

Dude there’s no way that Vader is Luke’s father, that’s impossible. The only thing that would make less sense is if Leia was his sister or something, but that’s really far-fetched isn’t it?

[@DrPOP-jp7eb]

If they retcon Vader to be Luke's father they will absolutely RUIN the previous film. Everything in the original film pointed to Luke's father being a good guy. It would be ridiculous to change that out of the blue. How are they going to explain Ben Kenobi lying?

[@gamepoy5056]

@@DrPOP-jp7eb Maybe he was lying to Luke to protect him? He did seem hesitant when he mentioned him in the last one, maybe OP called it 🤷‍♂️

[@Michael-dq1qr]

That is a horrible theory... if your theory is true, why is Luke not with the Empire if Vader is his dad?

Imagining a world where prequels are the original and this trailer coming out. "Hey, that's Boba Fett!"

That’s exactly how I watch these lol

[@bmk.-9250]

that would be a great world. then we’d have to wait like 30 years for the sequels and problems are solved!!

If you had the prequels come out 1st, there would be no Star Wars as we know it.

if the prequels came first there'd be no episode 5 lol

[@MadChristoph]

@@nameynamename3758 well yes, but actually no

[@razorfett147]

I love how you cut out Yoda everywhere except for the closing line. That, along with avoiding the Vader/Luke reveal makes this probably the best fanmade ESB trailer cut to date. Theres been a few really solid ones done in the past, but they trade too much on the notion that we've seen it before so its ok to spoil. You cut this like a first release trailer. Bravo, sir

[@ADedits9]

Also no AT ATs, No Ben Kenobi, Lando portrayed as a bad guy, Luke dialogue edited to sound like he’s taking to Vader about the dark side being stronger ;) thanks a lot dude for noticing.

[@razorfett147]

@@ADedits9 also true. I did notice that hint of editing misdirection thats often used to mislead audiences. Very nice touch 🤘😎🤘

[@conradkellogg1588]

@@ADedits9 Haha both of you guys are awesome, I noticed all of those things listed and I'm so happy to see that you had them in mind while making it. Really like this trailer!

[@barryguff6893]

Yep, I was waiting to see if Yoda would be shown and thus ruin the mystique of his first appearance. :)

[@TraceguyRune]

Imagine an ESB trailer that ends with a bomb shell like "No, I am you father".

[@rjnelsn]

The misdirection is brilliant to the point that it’s core theme isn’t a misdirection at all. When I hear Luke say “I’m looking for a great warrior” and pans to Vader, it really represents the beauty that Luke needs the father he never had and Vader needs the son he thought was lost. Literal chills in that moment. So good!

[@ADedits9]

Wow that was deep. Thanks man! Appreciate the support!

[@marcelaucoin433]

Fan-made modern trailers are a dime a dozen on KZbin, but this one stands out. From the snippet of a deleted scene (i.e. Wampa grabbing a Snowtrooper) to concealing Yoda’s appearance and the AT-ATs, this really captures the true spirit of a movie trailer. Plus, it’s a trailer for my all-time favourite movie...what more could I want? Well done! :-)

[@ConsumptiveSoul]

You know how billion dollar movie companies get mad when fans make better trailers for way cheaper

[@scorpionwins6378]

I agree, this was quite exceptional. And my favorite star wars film as well. Love how they added the deleted scene of the wampas invading Hoth base. Too good!

[@michaellobb]

The Wampa scene was a great inclusion!

[@bigtip8371]

[@Econnolly82]

when those are the shots and audio you have to edit with its easier, but this one is special so you are right my friend!

[@logicaldude3611]

Empire has to be the best sequel ever. It expanded the universe to a mind-boggling degree and it flipped the entire original Stars Wars film on its head. I can only imagine seeing this movie in the theaters and being like, "OMG, what am I even watching?!?!" I was born a few years after, but I grew up with these films. I wish I could have experienced watching Empire in the theater. In terms of sequels, I don't know how you can possibly beat this movie.

[@chrismusix5669]

I watched Empire in the theaters as a kid. And yes, it's true - all of it. Most amazing sci-fi movie experience ever!

[@cageaudio8158]

I watched Empire as a 6 year old kid when it was released- Had chills when the the movie started and was shaking- was an AMAZING experience- There was so many people waiting in line at the theater that it made the local news- the crowd cheering and clapping at the end of the movie was amazing to feel and witness.

[@jeffreym.8957]

Aliens is the best sequel ever. Empire is 2nd.

[@jeffreym.8957]

We saw it in one of those old giant cinemas on a boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey. Seemed cavernous. Made some of the newer cinemas that came out later seem like your basement.

[@TH__.]

agreed best sequel of all time

[@deadpoolregeneratedegenera1683]

If this were a movie made today, millions of people would've picked the trailer apart piece by piece until together they gave us a basic storyline and wild predictions (some of which are accurate) to make it so every major scene was already told to you beforehand.

[@jamesgravil9162]

There'd also be a lot of whining in the comments section about how it doesn't look as good as the first film, and why it's totally going to suck because there won't be any Obi-wan, and it's somehow "woke" because the only female cast member is getting more than twenty minutes screen-time. People are way too critical of things they haven't seen these days.

[@deadpoolregeneratedegenera1683]

@@jamesgravil9162 Agreed.

[@jeffreym.8957]

@@jamesgravil9162 I don't see that at all. Nobody slammed the upcoming Endgame trailer like that. People were looking forward to it. But after you've been fed a steady diet of crap for awhile (like Phase IV MCU) you become more jaded. Fact of life.

[@techarts8938]

Imagine if the trailer ended like this: “He told me everything. He told me you killed my father!” “No…” It would give something of a vibe that his father was alive but in real life Vader’s his father

[@ADedits9]

[@lethalwolf7455]

I have to say it…I just have to…George Lucas was a genius out of film school. Had that man never married, had kids, got his heart broken, the prequels would’ve been amazing. I saw ‘Empire’ in a theatre on its first night. Nothing has ever impressed me as much as this film. This was cinematic perfection. Also best line of all time… “Sir, the temperature is dropping too rapidly” Han-“That’s right, and my friend is out in it!” “Your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker!” “Then I’ll see you in hell!” Absolutely the best line ever spoken by a ‘scoundrel’👍

Truly, this trailer brought back everything I loved about the film when I saw it on opening night in 1980 on a huge screen...before the internet, before spoilers, when the big reveal near the end silenced 1000 audience members into only a huge collective gasp. In retrospect, it truly is the GOAT and was the high point of my experience with this concept and series.

[@DrPOP-jp7eb]

This legit is amazing, and you've already set the bar very high. It might be the best one yet.

I love that the trailer has many misdirections that hide the plot and would make the audience even more surprised if they saw it for the first time. For example, when Luke asks if the dark side is stronger, the trailer makes it seem like he is asking this to Vader. Also, I loved that their confrontation in Bespin is hidden but the one in the cave isn’t, making it seem like that would be the real one
