Superman V Battle of The Deathstar EXTENDED EDITION

Here is the extended edition version, with a new opening focusing on the backstory of Krypton's destruction by the Death star. Helping to set the tone for Superman having to go against his morals knowing his enemy could destroy his adoptive home of billions.
I'm quite happy, a few edits in place I'm not 100% happy with but wanted to give a little backstory visually this time with the Death star in this universe being responsible for Krypton's demise.
The battle itself has no changes, only a corrected flying shot at the beginning where the sun was in the wrong direction. of point of light.
Enjoy!
In an alternate timeline galaxy a long time ago far, far away, Luke Skywalker failed in his mission to destroy the Death Star. The Death Star's Super laser unleashed its awesome power and destroyed Yavin 4 and the headquarters with its remaining rebel alliance.
With no one standing in their way, the Galactic Empire moved through systems, destroying anyone who rebelled against them and stood in their way.
Eventually making their way to the Andromeda Galaxy, the Galactic Empire arrived to the planet Krypton. The Elders of Krypton, rejecting the offer to join the empire and going to war instead, faced certain extermination like those before. Jor-El, one of Krypton's most respected scientists, feared for the future of Krypton. Deciding during the planet’s last moments to send his infant son Kal-el to Earth... Moments before the Death Star fired its primary weapon and destroyed Krypton in the process...
Now fully grown and Earth's mightiest hero, Superman must come face-to-face with the nightmare that once destroyed his home world. Even if it meant going against certain morals to save his adoptive home of Earth from destruction.
Thank you also to Mike Habjan as well for supplying the render Superman figure kick animation on the tie fighters. You can see his famous work on youtube Superman VS Hulk video's...

Beautifully well-done mate. Seeing Christropher Reeve back in action as the man of steel is enough to bring a tear to the eye of any Richard Donner Superman fan.

[@robertpolityka8464]

I love it when Superman puts the moon back together... it's so much cooler than using the "rebuild the great wall of China vision" in Superman 4.

[@dtyodeller]

He was originally supposed to rebuild it using super speed and heat vision but the budget wouldn’t allow that.

[@manasteal7441]

Good work, The idea that Vader was the cause of the destruction of Krypton was a cool idea and it played out well, my reaction was that of horror!

[@nathancruz9172]

I agree with you on that.

[@TheBillABCTV]

APRICEPRODUCTION RIP to Richard Donner. Thank you for the other week doing your version of Superman 2 Take care mate.

[@Vaporvice84]

Man, i hope people who saw these 2 classic films all those decades ago eventually find this edit or yours. Kids in the late 70s probably came up with fan fiction stories like this on the school bus/playground all the time. This is really wonderful. I legit laughed when Superman forced the moon back together and Vader said "The force is strong with this one". Way to take that line literally lol.

[@bryanrawlins7846]

As a child growing up in the 70s; I always felt Superman would win against the Empire!

[@UncleMikeNJ]

@@bryanrawlins7846 Well, if the Rebels could do it... Let's face it: The Empire was dumb. As Han said in Episode VII, there's always a weakness in their "death stars." Fortunately, this time, we didn't need to find a weakness, we just needed Superman.

[@Locktwiste72]

As a massive fan of both Christopher reeve’s superman and Star Wars I loved this. Think I managed to pick out where you’d got each clip of superman from. Especially liked the bit you took from III but had him kick the tie fighters into each other. I also liked that you did a captain marvel style finish and had him fly right through the Death Star. Truly well done.

[@ArmyVet796]

Thank you!

[@matthewtownsend2368]

Yep. All 4 movies were used. All the music was from Su2, moon was 4, plastic and laser vision was 3, most flying was 1&2.

[@iamthegreatpapyrus2905]

This was awesome. Should be in theaters 🎥🎥

[@vincentkelly9456]

THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!! I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS VIDEO POSSIBLE let alone did I EVER DREAM of such a confrontation between Superman the Man of Tomorrow and the Deathstar from The Empire in Star Wars! Omigosh! I recognize each of the scenes clipped together from Star Wars and Superman movies. The Superman scenes are taken from all four original Superman movies directed by Donner, Lester and Furie! Superman fighting in outer space is something I’VE ALWAYS WANTED and, I hope to one day find current superheroes in movies battle space armadas outside ships in the vacuum of space. In my opinion DC and MARVEL are wasting a valuable opportunity by not having Thor, Shazam and Kal-El battle galactic menaces in the cosmos! Combining the popularity of two genres, outer space-Science Fiction and superheroes, would create a cult following earning tremendous profits! Whoever you or YOU ALL at APRICEPRODUCTION are, you get TEN THUMBS UP and I’m not a guy easily impressed! Carry on, Carry on!

[@clarkreeve5710]

That. was. EPIC !!! You did not only an edit, you also transmit the entire magical atmosphere that I felt in Superman The Movie. And believe me, not everyone ( for not saying no one as I know ) is able to do this kind of thing. That was a masterpiece to assemble both movies. I had this little smile during 8 min I’m just loosing my words. Fantastic work ! Superman The Movie made us believe a man can fly Now you make us believe Chris is still alive Keep make us dream !

Your editing, music and special effects are fantastically superb, it just works so smoothly in sync with Christopher Reeve's Superman. He always gives me inspiration like the current actors who do in their own take on the Man of Steel and as well a incredible potrayal. I have absolutely enjoyed all of your Superman IV Remastered videos and this probably is the best one.

[@ChuckM0503]

Love the added scenes. My only problem with the first version was how Superman just showed up, and flew towards the death star and we didn't see his reaction to it. This fixes that completely, and also adds more emotional weight with Superman seeing the destruction of Krypton. Also, the scene of Vader standing before the council of Krypton was awesome. It was kind of scary in a way. Really great stuff.

[@trejohnson4760]

That part where he went back and fixed the moon. Classic Superman, I teared up a little.

[@combatking0]

Given Superman's established level of strength, he could easily tear the Death Star apart with both hands tied behind his back. But that's not in the movie footage, so this works.

[@brendancaldwell7755]

This was mental 👌😅 what a combination, Superman and Starwars!

[@lugenehaynes7584]

Wow. WOW! If only Chris and Richard Donner could have seen this--they would’ve been amazed! It’s sad to think of all the talented cast and crew members of both of these films that have passed away, but you have kept them alive in this fantasy sequence. Thank so very much for that.😢❤❤

[@lordofpain3476]
