What's funny is that because George put so much effort into the visual storytelling, into making it pretty clear what's going on in each scene without needing much dialogue support, this ends up being a thousand times more coherent than anything in Zack's work.

[@peterclarke7240]

The tragedy of Lucas, though, was that he WOULD have ballsed up A New Hope if it wasn't for almost the entire principle cast and crew pushing back against his choices. You can see this in the remaster, where you can see Lucas just doesn't know when to stop, and the prequels, which were the first Star Wars films in which Lucas wasn't questioned, and it REALLY shows. Yes, he's less heavy on the exposition, slo-mo and unnecessary drama than Snyder, but he was very much the precursor of that style of "treat the audience like they're idiots" directing.

[@classicbrix]

@@peterclarke7240I agree. I’ll still praise Lucas for his world building and directing but he needs editors and writers to keep him in check. I’m not a huge fan of filoni either.. I find he gets too carried away in his own ways and his content always feel like fan fiction to me with the exception of a few animated episodes here and there but for every good episode you gotta watch 4-5 bad ones. In another universe, I’d love to find a way to have Lucas calling the shots and expanding the universe/ story with the quality and tone of andor

Can't wait for the climax of Return of the Jedi in Palpatine's throne room: "AAAAAARGHH! Martha, please!!" "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?"

[@infernalbill9366]

This is really an amazing example of how "not" to tell a story. The new exposition scenes (at 6:40 for instance) are just spot on. I sent this along to my daughter who is currently a film student.

[@protalghulnist4126]

That force choke must’ve got me through the screen cause I couldn’t breathe 😂

[@ScrapKing73]

I haven’t seen Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I take it there’s a lot of slow-mo, lengthy exposition, and lens flare in it?

[@beyondlimitationsvideo]

​@@ScrapKing73you can say that...

[@MeltonCrest]

@@ScrapKing73 And shitty music.

[@saintuk70]

@@ScrapKing73 Yup, well done, you've got it.... this is what Star Wars would look like if Synder had got his hands on it.

[@COMBATKYLE4]

"Tell by slowmo flashbacks, don't show" truly a masterclass in writing

[@kalmix88]

That was really awesome! Vader monologuing made me laugh out loud. 😂 I hope the Syder's "too-coloring" will also be added to the full version.

[@BrandonBlume]

This is amazing. This is perfect. It hits all the wrong notes at every turn.

[@4saken404]

Actually I would argue that in the New Hope Vader vs Obi Wan it actually hits some of the right notes!

[@Aztechaemenid]

That famous Stormtrooper head bonk in slow motion absolutely sent me 😂😂

[@factandsuspicionpodcast2727]

That Vader monologue was peak Snyder.

[@KentaObscuro]

The stilted line delivery during the exposition dumps, Vader’s double dump and the non-ending👌

[@wyrmh0le]

I don't know who directed this, but they sure do have a distinctive style that I can't imagine getting old over the course of two or more hours, much less an entire career.

[@AldoMoro1978]

“..or you will suffer pain worse than any pain you have imagined that pain can be” is something that i would expect from a Snyder movie

[@JammaLamma]

Slo mo and exposition. Brilliant as ever. You guys are the best.

[@lostskull7467]

Don't forget the lens flare and over the top music!

[@JammaLamma]

@@lostskull7467 thank you!

[@simplegarak]

The sound track was a top notch pick too. A lot of great little details in this satire.

[@jhpk]

I lost when Vader said "It happened again on another planet, years later." Lmao

[@OrionLaerithryn]

Loved the scene with Obi-wan in the cantina, it was like... don't mess with the old guy, he's for real.

[@kashashk]

That Obi-wan "arm-cut hype edit" was unironically dope though.

[@radioactive2645]

Zack Snyder's theatrical version is amazing, I can't wait for the 10 hr slo-mo director's cut!

[@doormatt72]

the slow motion on the stormtrooper bonk on the doorway was perfection. lol.

[@TheEndOfNowhere]

I love the “and then I woke up and realised it was all just a baaaad dream😊…or was it?😮‍💨” ending.

[@aceofspadesguy4913]

Say what you will, Vader’s soliloquy was pure art.

[@davidhoffman6980]

I agree. I know this was meant to be a joke (and some of it was obnoxious) it was still awesome.

[@jatzi1526]

I honestly thought it was pretty good. Not because it'd work in a movie by itself but because we've seen it normally.

[@ProfoundKrab]

Man, Rebel Moon Part 3 is looking incredible! Peak cinema right here!

[@54tisfaction]

This explains so much. I didn't get the emotional impact of these events in the original version until I now saw them in super slow-mo!

[@tomasburian6550]

This is like showing all the running scenes in Baywatch in regular motion.

[@2thinkcritically]

I'm glad they finally released the Snyder cut. It took 47 years, but it was worth it.

[@Kankayama]

this was like a treat that comes out of nowhere. bless you guys, legendary work once again.

[@TJ_ax]

Huge props to whoever did the score on this it’s wonderful

[@okitasan]

I think it might be from a paid music service -- I'm pretty sure I've heard the track at 4:38 in an @itchyboots video lol

[@daveblackman816]

Why is this so spot on LOL from the music, the exposition, to the slow mo for no real reason. It’s perfect. Bro you need more subs!

[@deep_panic944]

This is so painfully on-point. The exposition dumps are just sooo Zach Snyder. He really doesn't get into show-don't-tell. And INFINITE SLOW MO!

[@treytison1444]

I knew they would throw in another flashback from the TV show after the Mustafar story and they didn't disappoint.

[@smugmode]

Then it happened again

[@the7percentsolution]

I almost want to watch some of Rebel Moon just to see how accurate this is but I have a feeling this sums it up pretty well.

[@AverageTrainEnthusiast]

Honestly… yeah it kinda does. Just stretch out the time to roughly 3 hours.

[@krowbard]

​@@AverageTrainEnthusiast that's not technically true, because this still has some good looking shots. Rebel Moon has basically zero appealing shots at any point in the movie.

[@Elvalley]

@@krowbard that's surprising. I always thought Snyder was all about making "movies" out of appealing shots (in terms of composition, he does screw up with coloring every so often), with connective exposition in-between.

[@mihailoveselinovic7151]

​@@Elvalley Shots are still really good in rebel moon but slow mo is used in every third shot and color grading is awful. Plus he overuses the fog/smoke effects a lot, in almost every action shot, mostly over the whole shot to the point where it is a detriment to the whole shot. I liked the movie but it's too long and overuse of slow mo never let that mild enjoyment become something more. Idk what fumes snyder is on but he needs to let go of his style from time to time if his style is heavily affecting the overall production quality in a bad way.

[@Senza32]

I thought of one way this could have been more like Rebel Moon. The scene where Obi-Wan deactivates the tractor beam would be included, and the moment he pulls the lever, the Death Star starts exploding for no reason, like how the huge battleship starts exploding in Rebel Moon because the rebel leader guy pulled a single lever in an exterior turret.

[@msal]

Man, that slo-mo scene with luke finding their burned bodies was actually really well done.

[@alesksander]

Haha with Synders music witch totally does not fit into scene. LOL

[@zacharypfeil7596]

I get it!

[@LimitedCheetah]

He didn't slow-mo off the speeder but other than that yeah, very tasty.

[@afrojive]

For me it was the Cantina and Obi Wan "Pimp" Kenobi

[@aaronmueller1560]

If you mean really well done as in ruined by the slow-mo and music in the exact way Snyder would approach it, then yes I agree

[@dr.20xx74]

I can't get over how Vader just walks away after giving his long exposition dump and leaves the Imperial Officer hanging on what his next orders are 😂

[@q1q2q23]

RIP James Earl Jones.. thank you so much for your work!

[@Amy-J]

My favourite moment is when the scene intensely focuses on a mop one of the droids are using. Truly Zack Snyder is a master auteur of cinema.
