The Empire Strikes Back (1980) All Space Scenes

[@nakfoor1846]

To say Empire is one of the best movies ever would still not fully encapsulate how good it is.

[@arbiter8246]

It’s an alright movie.

[@rotyler2177]

​@@arbiter8246 you probably didnt understand it.

[@JohnInTheShelter]

I wish I could bottle the feelings I had on seeing EMPIRE opening night in 1980. It's still one of the great moviegoing experiences I've had. I had HUGE expectations for EMPIRE, and it didn't meet them--it exceded them. That's so very rare. To a 14 year old who loved SF, this movie was like meeting the Pope must be to a hardcore Catholic.

[@Thefunnyguy2516]

Agreed 👍😊

[@The_Marvelist]

I envy you, I wish I was around when this phenomenon occurred

[@James-Campbell]

​@@The_Marvelist I was 18yrs old at the time and you could hear the gasp of disbelief from the crowd when Darth Vader dropped the bomb shell on Luke's true lineage............the best SW episode out of all the franchise!

[@mattneal5257]

I can still remember leaving the theater and wondering Han Solo was dead or not. That was 3 years until I found out he was ok. Seeing Empire opening night was incredible

[@mark4lev]

Ask any film critic around in 1980. Mind blowing. Jedi never reached those heights because it was filmed in a California forest. It never had the other worldliness of empire. Hoth, Dagoba, cloud city. Inspired.

[@carloszangrando8657]

Still SPETACULAR even tofay, 44 years after! And NO CGI! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@juerv1]

CGI is shit. With a few exceptions, all CGI films are second rate, inferior, childish or complete garbage.

[@mrobocop1666]

​​@@juerv1 can't add more, but I guess it's also have something to do with general degradation of education, culture level of Western society and Western civilization's demise overall

[@jamesc7286]

I saw it when I was three. It was quite an unforgettable experience. My grandmother talked me down from the edge after the big revelation, Luke's hand deal, and the good guys losing and on the run.

[@Capt_CrimsoN]

Nothing will ever beat models, because they are actually real!!!! There is always something that feels off with CGI. I feel like the only Star Wars movie to ever do CGI well was Revenge of the Sith and maybe that's because they also blended it with models.

[@juanmarqueznarvaez474]

I love The Empire strikes back (1980) The most beautiful Star War's movie ever made.

[@kfsgowap]

By FAR the best episode of the whole series 👏

[@krzysztofherdzik1500]

This is crazy how astonishingly beautiful this movie looks. "Its beauty cold and austere". It's also deeply symbolic. See how the movie starts and ends with the nightfall (Luke getting lost in the snowstorm & the heroes fleeing the Cloud City as the sun sets and the night comes). Luke & his friends are like children, getting lost in the dark, finding themselves, and then running into the night alone again. This is one of the reasons why this film had such a tremendous emotional impact on children back in the day.

[@dubiousName]

I am amazed how good this still looks after all those years! ❤

[@Mr_Kenneth]

Saw EMPIRE at Liverpool Odeon un 1980 when it premiered. It was incredible and possibly the greatest movie experience ever.

[@alexkoronec4326]

Imagine how much greater it would be. To restore the missing 48 minutes that was cut from the movie. Because they they thought no one would sit through a three hour movie at this time of year.

[@aboutface102]

The scene at 1:39-2:56 is probably the best choreographed of the whole franchise. I can’t believe the sequel movies couldn’t even match what was made in the 80s.

[@jonessoda4me1]

Actual storytelling and people who care about a movie’s performance will always beat political BS and CGI 😊

[@Niez886]

​@@jonessoda4me1lol political bs. It's ok dude it's just star wars.

[@crxmdx9199]

I LOVE THIS! The greatest Star Wars movie ever stripped down to just the space scenes! That's interesting, almost eight minutes of those scenes only. Who'd a thought that, huh? Thank you for putting this together! 1:47 like trying to hit a fly with a flyswatter! 😄

[@UnknownPersononGoogle]

01:50 always loved the sound of the destroyers going reverse thrusters to avoid crashing.

[@kotnapromke]

Maybe there isn't any in space, but there is inside a space ship...and in a movie theatre.

[@NunyaBizznaz]

@@pierre-xr4bp I bet you're fun at parties

[@Tiredoldchannel]

I thought that sound was the Falcon

[@ksrithan]

These cuts remind us why TESB is the best Star War movie.

[@marraduse2519]

I would say that ANH just beats it out. Vader is better in TESB but overall, it just isn't a complete movie i.e. it suffers for being the middle part. Only ANH stand can stand alone.

[@marcothorsen950]

The opening scene sounds amazing on My Surround Sound setup. All the scenes really.. You done a great job editing this 👍👍💪

[@needsbeer]

I second that. A really excellent job. 🍺

[@benmurawski]

[@Spudtron98]

The improvements over the first film's ship movement and background compositing are truly impressive.

[@thereclaimer2945]

3:22. I love this scene of the Star destroyer firing on asteroids, the tie Bombers flying over larger asteroids and you can hear the explosions of the bombs going off in the distance. One of the greatest scenes in this movie.

[@mark4lev]

Beautiful moment with the falcon in the clouds approaching the city, the music is epic it never ages

[@peterkorek-mv6rs]

I watched this as a 12 years old boy. I still remember the opressive feeling which overcomed me as I saw at the end the beaten and defeated rebels drifting hopelessly throughout the space. Pretty realistic for a SciFi fairy tale.

[@lordhumungus3578]

By far the best sequel!!

In my world there are neither prequels nor sequels, just these awesome movies ❤.

The unsung heros of Empire strikes back had to be those adrenalin junkie tie-fighter pilots who followed the falcon into the asteroid field in their unshielded tiny little fighters. they reached for the gold but didnt make it but, damn what moxy

[@blueshit199]

this movie feels like it's the most space-oriented out of all 9, I didn't know it only had 8 minutes worth of space in it

[@derrickstorm6976]

There's so much flying that doesn't happen in space

[@user-rh2csk]

The reason why these scenes age well is that they used only camera tricks and physical models and no CGI

[@derrickstorm6976]

Yea and because this is the digitally remastered version of the movie

[@lisamorrissey4077]

Now your just being technical. Beam me up Scotty

[@fh9226]

In 1999 I was a teaching assistant and led labs in Management Information Systems at a US University. Just for fun I created an online poll asking the undergraduate students which their favourite SW movie was and ESB came out on top, as expected 😊

[@guyvachod5363]

this trilogy revolutionized science fiction movies👍👍👍

[@Ferret-v8r]

Ever notice how in ESB the Millenium Falcon itself became a character in its own right. While the original movie established that Han's ship was a bonafide Hot Rod among Spacecraft, it was only in ESB that see its grace, 6:01 agility 2:37 and acrobatics 1:47 There's even something of character arc for the old girl, as she "refuses" to save the day until the final minute of the Eleventh hour.

[@hyacinthlynch843]

Han: "You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake, well this could be it sweetheart." Leia: "I take it all back."

It was beyond a good time…

[@TheLarryBrown]

[@dojoguitare]

When I saw it in 1980, I thought it couldn't end the way it did. Surely this is not the end of the movie. I was ready to stay in my seat for another three hours to get resolution.

[@keithhackett4252]

@dojoguitare I felt the exact same way after it ended. I remember shouting alittle,not loud with my late father and older brother present with me,"That's all??" The experience didn't feel like 3 hrs had past. It was like an hour but overall it was considered terrific cinematic experience to cherish forever.

I watched the three original movies at drive-ins and that is an experience, going to an indoor theater is in no comparison!

[@TheLarryBrown]

Well, depending on your girlfriend that may be true, but as far as movies go I'll take the indoor theatre any day. The sound is going to be 10 times better, no cars driving by, and you're way closer to the screen. But the big difference is the audience reaction. In a crowded movie theatre you can feel the audience's emotions. Laughter, shock, surprise, startles, delight, screams, you can feel all of that and it makes a big difference. It's like having a laff track. When I watched Star Trek IV and Scotty said "Helloooo computer," everyone, especially all the nerds, belly laughed and honestly it created a sense of community amongst the audience. When I watch that movie at home, some jokes that got a big laugh in the theatre, like "Everyone remember where we parked," sail right by and they don't even register as jokes. I love watching movies with an audience. There is no comparison!

[@marraduse2519]

A lot of these aren't space scenes e.g. flying over, and landing on, Cloud City. It also missed out the bit of Boba Fett in the cockpit of Slave 1 which I think should have been included because it was over Fett's shoulder looking out at space. Having said this, I found it a very interesting experience watching the scenes without any dialogue or character scenes. It reminded me of the feeling of being an editor, of being in an editing suite looking at the shots of this amazing movie as it was being assembled, long before the public would ever see it.

[@Tiredoldchannel]

The Slave 1 cockpit shot is from the special edition. From what I can tell this is taking from the original version of the film

[@IronWarhorsesFun]

am i the only person who wonders why those hyperspace pods can not be used as super long range missiles or Kamikaze Drones? just slap a huge warhead or multiple warheads in instead of the probe droid. This would work SUPER WELL when combined with a probe droid doing recon and calling down the strikes with extreme precision. It would be a great first strike weapon, very hard to defend against and be perfect for making a star destroyer far more effective with a much longer reach. Imagine a huge ion warhead loaded into those missiles and you could shut down an entire city or large orbital facility then have your fleet waiting on stand by immediately jump in and demand a surrender. even better you could disguise it as an asteroid so it would arrive in system looking harmless to anybody not watching closely and then the asteroids could wait for a command from hyperspace to start bombing their targets.
