Merry Christmas!!!
Those edits...whoa...funniest thing I've seen in a while. Ty for putting this together!
Thanks man, I got a flight now and I need something to ease my mind
Great stuff 👍
cheers for this edit, really enjoyed some of the random clips like ian mcdirmond with the RSC and stuff :)
Thanks so much for these!
Fun story: in university, I took a film studies class that had a lecture of about four hundred students. We watched Jedi in class one day and this was around the time these special editions had just come out so hardly anyone had seen them. At the end, when all the force ghosts showed up and Hayden Christensen was there instead of old Anakin, someone at the back of this massive lecture hall yelled out "What the fuck?" and the class absolutely lost it for like five minutes.
That is the appropriate response from any sane human being.
You paid tuition to watch Return of the Jedi???
@Kyle Katarn or just not change anything because the original was fine and made the most sense
@@dukeofthedance8062 The way George Lucas explained it is that Anakin died when he became Vader. When he redeems himself at the end of RotJ his force ghost reverts back to his old self before he turned to the dark side. It kinda makes sense and it does explain why Obi- Wan hasn't changed. Not saying I like it but that's the official explanation.
@@Kyle_Katarn512 Lucas probably asked Ewan, but unlike Hayden, Ewan had enough dignity to say no.
I never realized how goofy Boba Fett's death is lol. A blind man accidentally breaks his jetpack so he falls into a monster that proceeds to let out a burp. It's a damn cartoon skit
He didnt die though.
@@nialllappin4159 Back then he died but I heard they made a show or limited series.
He was a chump who never did anything impressive onscreen apart from stand there, and is known for not being able to bring in any his bounties intact
a well deserved fate.
@@Feasco you edgy, though...
Its a movies with children as the target demographic.
Rich Evan’s impression of George Lucas is freaking gold. Gold!
“Can we make that door bigger?.. just make it a little bigger.”
Can we get more banthas??
“I want them now! Gimme. Gimme. Gimme.”
18:35 "...No sleazy sex, in fact no sex at all when it comes to that".
Cue a solid minute of dirty innuendos that brought me to tears.
I’m roaring over here at the, “Evacuate? In our moment of triumph?”
"Into the garbage chute, flyboy"
There's so many sexual innuendos in these movies, I could fuck.
"Myself, the boy, two droids... and no questions asked."
He was describing Star Wars fans
I like to imagine when the death star blew up, it rained shrapnel on that planet for 20 years. killing all the ewoks
A hard rain, like in Seveneves. Torching the planet of all life. *Jeremiah Johnson nod*
the Ewok planet has an atmosphere so, no they would burn before touching ground. But some of the biggest could ! Bye bye Wicket, Chirpa, Logray, Teebo, Paploo, and Nicki !!
@fraaggl the heat transfer into the atmosphere from the debris might actually cause severe climate change, it's what scientists believe happened when the asteroid killed off the dinosaurs.
It’s a good thing we now know, massive portions of it actually survived completely intact thanks to The Rise of Skywalker
"It's *another* Death Star! This movie is a glimpse of things to come."
Reminder that they released this commentary *in* *October* *2015*
starkiller base was already known at that point. not like they had some incredible insight.
“It’s a jar full of Snokes.”
They are referring to the prequels.
They we're referring to the prequels.
@@abstractdaddy1384 Lol no they were talking about RotJ, that complaint is a cynical talking point about Ep6
The suburban Sasquatch noise made me laugh for a straight two mins. Well done you brilliant bastard.
Bless you, sir.
@I came here to say this but knew in my heart it had already been said
That truly was brilliant.
No, the thing with Alec Guinness is that his agent negotiated 2% of the entire franchise's back-end gross (before anyone knew the movie would be successful or that there would be more than one movie), so all of a sudden in his golden years he found himself very rich man. So it was a love/hate thing with him. [Note: I corrected this post; initially I'd written that Guinness got a percentage of the royalties, which was incorrect.]
Alec Guiness just hated being typecast, just like every actor hates being typecast. He didn't actually hate Star Wars.
@@MrZackavelli Well, at his age, at the end of such a long and distinguished career, I doubt he was worried about being typecast; fears of typecasting are typically associated with actors just starting out. The truth is, he felt that SW was essentially a silly children's movie (I mean, he had a point) and really didn't get what all the fuss was about. On the other hand, because his agent had shrewdly negotiated 2.5% of the royalties for him, he suddenly found himself quite a wealthy man, so he didn't want to grumble too loudly, lol.
@@valmarsiglia He can still care about the legacy of his career being defined by a single role in his old age. It's the same issue.
@@MrZackavelli True, he didn't want to be remembered for work in films he considered beneath him.
@@MrZackavelli Indeed, they hate type casting. But I imagine it can be very easy to turn that hatred to the role that caused it
Can’t believe they cut out the scene where Luke builds the green lightsaber in a cave.
But that singing cockroach in Jabba’s palace was definitely more important to the story.
Was that an actual filmed scene?
@@duckheadbob Yes its a real scene and you can look it up on youtube. Personally I'm glad they left it out I think it would've messed with the pacing and feel of the beginning of the movie. But they should have also never added the singing alien either.
@@duckheadbob It was so close to being in the final cut that it had been scored with music.
@@duckheadbob it was included along with an hour or so of additional deleted material on the blu-ray release a decade ago. they had other stuff like the rebels infiltrating the bunker in more detail and the crew leaving tatooine during a sandstorm, etc.
So THAT'S why Vader comments on the lightsabre and how it relates to his journey to become a Jedi.
the convoluted plot to rescue Han is so funny because at the start of the film Han is the only one that needs rescuing. But by the end of the subplot, Luke needs to go in to rescue Han, Leia, R2D2, C3PO, and Lando.
Then THEY need rescuing
All according to keikaku
Wow. I had never thought of it that way before.
Also his 'plan' was apparently to shoot Jabba in the face with a gun he'd force-grabbed from a guard. Not sure what would have happened if that had worked.
You forgot Chewie too!
It's difficult to see Vader as intimidating now after learning that he could faceplant at any moment because of his suit design.
And also he was a whiny brat played by Hayden Christiansen.
what about the palpatine surgical reconstruction center
that shit was canon lmfao
@@DeltaAssaultGaming i prefer the jake lloyd portrayal...
@@ViktorKruger99 I need an Oomla Gumah Gagh miniseries. We deserve the full story of the galaxy’s most famous Hutt insulation manufacturer.
If his suit had lightning proof insulation then how did he die at the end of Jedi?
The three Ewoks selected to represent Mike, Jay and Rich Eveans really do bear striking resemblance.
Genuinely spent hours trying to settle on the best fit for each of them. Time well spent.
Hah, "bear."
That's crazy dude
Rich Ewoks
It just dawned on me, that the reason the Ewoks fight the Empire is that C3-PO who they now see as a god, basically told them to fight - the Ewoks effectively saw it as a Jihad!
you should rewrite the novelization
I think it's implied in the movie and shown in other sources that the Empire had already been fucking with the Ewoks a bit, so they were already enemies. After all, I doubt they were happy about the Empire building all that shit on their land.
Why didn’t you say crusade?
43:04 That "Luke imagining Leia" edit made me cackle in the best way. I'll never be able to take that scene seriously ever again. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed!
Oh, Lord. When we were kids we used to practice Luke's plank stunt on the diving board of our pool. Someone would hurl a faux lightsaber at us while we flipped. Beaned in the head while belly flopping SO many times. But we all got it at least once; such was our determination. BTW, I made a huge exception to my Never Watch the Altered Versions of Star Wars Films in order to watch this commentary.
Where can you find copies of unaltered Star Wars? I mean technically George made alterations to Episode IV before it even finished its theatrical run.
@@XxDemon23xX The box set of DVDs that came out in the late '90s includes the theatrical releases as part of the "special features." I just watch those.
That sounds so dangerous I love it
George Lucus: "I thought a musical number in the middle of a Star Wars film would be hilarious."
Yeah, George. It would've been hilarious in the middle of Schindler's List also. But does it belong there?
That is such an asinine comparison. You're comparing a space fantasy to a biopic of the Holocaust and judging them on the same criteria?
@@MrZackavelli cringe
@@MrZackavelli flail.

A 50 minute edit of an RLM commentary? Christmas really DID come early this year!
Much like Egon with his slime tanks*.

Why not watch Red Letter Media itself instead? They're not exactly hard to find
@@ainternet239. I’ve listened to them all, but I like shorter edits with the best parts.
Just like I did.
And so did i
When the Rancor Keeper is so sad (9:50), it made me think of Brando. "Look how they massacred my boy!"
"It makes Luke look bad."
He added a "nooo?" That's just angry bitter George trolling the fans right there.
To this day, he calls lightsabers "laser swords." He's so petty, he can't even give that one up.
@@TerrenceNowicki or he just calls them whatever. considering he wrote lightsaber into the script of all the movies and all.
and has stated he doesn't give a crap about naming most times. hence the inconsistency in how 'Han' is said by the characters.
@John Kult sure know a lot about a guy you don't know, never met and has never been characterized that way by anyone...even his ex-wife.
Yes he did it for the money which he didn't keep a cent of. LOL
@John Kult I just not an idiot like you. Come back with credible, objective proof that he hates the fans and that he is this a-hole you proclaim and you have something. Until then you are just a loser talking trash about someone you know nothing about nor talked to directly. I feel sorry for anyone that knows your whiny, clueless ass.
Can't wait until you sell your company for billions and give ALL of the proceeds to charity and universities. Oh wait, that will never happen because you aren't the type of person to succeed in life, just the type to complain and wonder why your life sucks.
"Boohoo, George ruined my precious movie I saw when I was 4 years old! That deserves childish lies and hatred. BOOHOO"
The lack of respect George has for star wars is amazing I love him for it
The part where Alec Guinness says " theres in fact no sex at all" and what comes next.. comedy gold! I congratulate you sir for the amazing edit. :)
Cheers! Hope you enjoy my other videos!
@BanyaBat What was the music that you put over that sequence? It’s the exact same kind of music that was actually a part of a crappy foreign Iicho computer game called “mouse simulator” that was featured on OneyPlays.
Cameron Mitchell (in his Low Blow costume) as the emperor was just excellent
I was just about to say the same thing.
It's the role he was born to play.
Drunkenly.
@@BanyaBat Has he played any role any other way?
CLOSE THE FUCKING DOORS LMAOOOOO
The perfectly timed Suburban Sasquatch yell killed me.
You have by far become the best guy for RLM or any other edits!
Your effort is second to none!
Amen to that. It's exceptional, an early Christmas gift! Extra points for that Harrison Ford clip, I'd never seen that.
Thanks very much for all your support, honestly means a lot! Hope you enjoyed!
Second to RLM perhaps.
@@BanyaBat Just stumbled across this. Great work! Also great picture quality
"Oh god, they got loose. IS THAT A LIGHTSABER!?" Bye!!"
37:35 I love that he has to add the qualifier, "slightly" comedic. He can't just straight up tell George that Jar Jar Binks is a crowd killer
Jar Jar is great. Better than Rey.
@@KissSlowlyLoveDeeply-pm2je the ST being garbage doesn't make the PT any better
@@EvanSchatz No, but the prequels are good movies.
@@KissSlowlyLoveDeeply-pm2je i like some aspects but I find them to be mediocre overall
@@KissSlowlyLoveDeeply-pm2je if it makes you feel better I only consider New Hope and Empire to be "exceptional movies"
"with Hayden Christensen as Shield Generator Door" had me howling laughing.
The Cameron Mitchell and Suburban Sasquatch cameos are beautiful. We don't deserve this.
Glad you enjoyed!
This is absolutely wonderful and very skillfully edited, the style of the editing and the comic timing matches the Plinkett reviews themselves perfectly. Just delightful. Thank you
Glad you liked my editing, that's high praise indeed! Thank you!
100% agreed. Went in expecting to just watch a standard compilation, and ended up laughing a LOT at your additions and edits. JUST the right amount of artistic license-- not so often that it's annoying, but just often enough to remind me to keep an eye out. Keep these going!
Mike saying, "I hate to complain," had me laughing for so long
Thanks so much for your work man, really incredible and kind of you, you are providing so much joy to us devoted to RLM
Thank you for watching them! More stuff coming up on this channel very soon!
😅
The freeze frame of Ford looking into the camera with that look of utter boredom on his face is just glorious.
Harmy's Despecialized Edition is the best version of Star Wars.
I prefer the taped-from-commercial-tv-on-VHS-when-I-was-12 Edition but everyone has their preferences I guess...
@@ConnieLynchitzWhoElse I like my copy of that recording (oh, C3PO’s cereal sucks bigtime!), but I wore my copy out long ago…
@@ConnieLynchitzWhoElse I’m 24 and my family still has our tape, recorded off the USA network.
How do we get those de-specialized edition?
I bought brand new unopened Limited Editions from 2006 that has the original Theatrical version that was used on Laser Disk
I'm just surprised they didn't mention the green twilek girls famous nipples in the rancor pit hahaha
Your condensed commentary tracks with the editing is outstanding. Keep it up.
Too kind, thank you!
So where do you get these commentary tracks and what kind of editing are you doing?
The Phantom Menace behind the scenes are amazing. You'll never see something that honest about why a movie sucks again
I want to see the Matrix 4 pitch meeting between the WB producers and Lana … That would be equally revealing, I guess.
Even for the time, that little documentary was quite the exposé. I still can't believe they included all the post-1st screening stuff where they're all shocked and arguing about what the fuck to do. Or all the scenes with the lead editor being sarcastic as hell about the production and borderline mocking George. Or random shots of crew members looking confused or downright scared when George is around.
@@LN997-i8x oh yeah they were very scared of george. gimme a break.
@@scottb3034You have clearly not seen the footage. It will be very eye opening for you. I’m shocked they included all of the footage, because it hold nothing back. And there are clearly scenes were you can tell on their faces they think George’s ideas were terrible, but he’s George Lucas and they aren’t, so they are scared to say, “Sir, Jar Jar is awful. This child actor is awful. Who is the protagonist in this film?” The scene where they watch the completed movie for the first time, and the look of horror on everybody’s faces as they realize just how bad the film is. Even George who is doing a sort of double facepalm, stating “I may went too far.” There is a look of hope on peoples faces as one guy points out the flaws and why the movie doesn’t work (kudos to him) and George even agrees, but says “It’s too late to change.” Again, find it, or just watch the RLM reviews and see it pointed out.
@@TheSniperGTO i've seen the footage enough. And the guy you are talking about is Ben Burtt who has been part of lucasfilm since he auditioned to be Luke in the original movie, literally the only guy in the business George has a longer working relationship with is steven spielberg. he has no fear of being fired nor should he. people at lucasfilm weren't scared, maybe hesitant to put out their reservations given the success of the OT (especially the original film that had disastrous first screenings as well) but they weren't scared of being fired. George has never and will never be confused for a maniacal tyrant on set.
George was also talking about the climax. purely the climax. not the film as a whole. he thought maybe four concurrent storylines at once was too much to coherently bear. RLM of course took it out of context to mean the general film because that's their deliberately obtuse style. that's why their "review" is hacky and not to be taken seriously as a critique.
And you know the funny thing about the Phantom Menace? Early returns of the movie were immensely positive. It was well-received by critics AND fans. (heck, look at the original reviews of the film, there are a surprisingly high number of "fresh" reviews.)
somewhere along the line it got trashed (An early case of the raging vocal minority) and if you believe the darth jar jar rumor ultimately killed the biggest twist in the franchise's history before it could happen.
We have idiots like RLM and--society in general--decide that their first opinions of the movie were wrong because who would want to be ridiculed for having an opinion that gets bashed? Not to mention it is so much cooler to go with the flow. People are like sheep in social settings and the vocal minority won out shortly after TPM came out.
Was it a perfect movie? No. Was it a great movie? No, it was competent, decent. It had serious flaws but it is far from the pariah it is made out to be. All RLM skates by on is stupidity and confirming a viewer's bias. They give the viewers what they want to hear to make them feel good about their view...aka subjective validation.
Yall stuck narratives in your head that aren't true or are massively exaggerated.
Rest in peace, Rich Evans's's Rancor. It slaughtered innocent people on the regular but, damn, if that round little man didn't have a bond with it.
In A New Hope C3PO claims to not be very good at telling stories. In Return of the Jedi he captivates an entire village with his recap of the first two films.
Rich Evans: ‘Did any of these fuckers die between the trilogies.’
Cut to fat old bib fortuna getting killed by fat old boba fett. Thought bib was on the sail barge when it exploded but whatever
I'm surprised The Cookbook of Boba didn't add a scene of him escaping or something
@@Peweskimooxy fortuna; a star wars story
your editing added so much more than I expected it to, bravo. At first I was like "50 minutes of highlights sounds like almost the whole thing" but that does this a disservice.
great work.
I had a work buddy who's main point of pride was getting ReturnJedi as his AIM handle.
@7:43 Rich Evans says "He's been watching Warner bros cartoons" but there was a cut line for some reason where he says "He wants me to call him Chuck Jones. Which I do, he's the boss you can't do anything".
When I was a kid, I watched “Return of the Jedi” and “Fantastic Voyage” the same weekend, and I thought for years that the Rancor trainer was played by Donald Pleasence.
🤣🤣🤣
You mean to say …. It he wasnt ??
To be fair, Dr Loomis post-Halloween 4 STILL comes across as a crazier character than a topless chubby guy that looks after giant monsters in the dungeon of a gangster slug creature's desert palace.
@@BanyaBat you mean they're different?!
I think there is a bit of a 'ramp up' to Vader redeeming himself. When he says "It is too late for me now", I always interpreted that as one of the first cracks in his loyalty to the dark side.
It reminds me of a guy in the middle of robbing a bank, and he starts having second thoughts and thinks, "well it's too late to stop now".
Vader looks very tired in this movie. Almost everyone in fact in this movie feels lethargic.
Well according to George Lucas Anakin Skywalker did slaughter a lot of younglings... Yep. No turning back 😬😬😬😬🫣🫣🫣
And nobody ever points out the fact that in the very first movie (A New Hope) when Luke asked C-3PO about being in the rebellion against the empire. Luke says, “Have you been in many battles?” And 3PO says, “A few. I think. I am more of an interpreter and really not much of a storyteller.” And now they’re he is telling their story.
I always thought of that as an unusual line. Threepio is a HELL of a story teller.
“Evacuate? In our moment of triumph?” Lool
2 minutes in and they already correctly predicted that the extended palace door doesn't match the inside size... this gonna be good.
I got duped! I thought this was a RedLetterMedia video. You did a really good job capturing their humor with your edits and montages. 18:40 - 19:40 with the musical accompaniment was brilliant!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! Take a peek at my other videos if you enjoyed this one!
Putting this timestamp here for myself: 10:46 because every time I watch this (I often have your RLM videos in the bg) I rewind to Rich's Lucas' going "gimme gimme gimme" like 27 times before moving on
Dude I laughed so hard I think I herniated myself. Thank you for the time stamp dude.
Thank you for you service 🫡
I never thought about it before watching this today: Jabba is surrounded by enslaved people and indentured servants and victims, as well as criminals in his employ. A bunch of innocent people died on that barge! Way more concerning than the contractors on the Death Star (per Clerks), which caused Lucas to insert all those insectoid builders/laborers into "Attack of the Clones" and say that it was those people who died so the Clerks guys shouldn't fret. (Which is itself a weird thing to say; apparently only human life matters to Lucas in a universe full of sentient beings.)
They don't even need to do it, at the point Jabba is dead and they can just leave. But nope, Luke goes out of his way to blow them all up, while also potentially risking the lives of his friends too.
@@LN997-i8x lmao when that scene is so hilariously dark and stupid, and apparently no one saw a problem with it.
@@Quole1234Luke singlehandedly wiped out the crack trade throughout the entire galaxy that day.
I love that Mel Brooks is credited for Elephant Man when he's brought up.
The full scale model of the Falcon did not burn down before shooting ROTJ. It was in England and used for the England shoot - the deleted sandstorm scene used it. Lucas didn't want to pay the cost of moving it around so for the American shoot they used a matte painting.
To be fair, the troopers going after the Ewok on the bike is probably fairly realistic. That moon has probably never been penetrated so those guys probably had nothing to do ever. Being on outside guard duty sucked and was boring, so chasing after a bear that you could probably hilariously gut after you caught him would have been a thrill. They left one guy, every other day that would have been more than fine.
Everything that happens with the Ewoks after that is a problem though!
Also they were afraid to get shit from their cap'n.
"Fucking primitive bear stole your speeder bike? You are bunch of degenerates, not a real stormtroopers"
Stop it with this fan fiction, otherwise Disney is gonna make a comic series out of it.
there's also plenty of other alien species in Star Wars the size of Ewoks that are actually intelligent, so the troopers had no clue whether or not the little furry midget that just jacked their bike was malicious or just retarded and assumed the former.
@@SwissArmyTin I feel like troops stationed on Endor would have been briefed about the natives. Given how brutal the Empire was, the standing orders were probably just "shoot them on sight".
@D D I was never claiming that Lucas and the gang thought of that, I agree that it’s doubtful that they did. I was just saying it does make sense, from a certain point of view. Haha.
The "oh god.." at the banthas lmao
Really appreciate the effort you put in for these and the Smersh Pod edits, Merry Christmas Banya!
Thanks, dude, Merry Christmas!
I got into the Smersh podcast from his edits. Thanks mate.
1:57 I love that genuine smile from George for Ford just being honest and bluntly saying "I could give a shit less about a solo prequel".
The line, "I can see a lot better now," is probably the only change that I'll actually accept. It's kind of demure humor because Han is probably lying. It's very in character.
Yeah they get it kind of backwards - claim the "trust me" is a "Han solo thing to say cause he says it like ehhhhhh, trust me I can kinda see", but in fact he says it in a straight-ahead heroic honorable fashion;
which also fits, but the character they attribute to and praise in the original line, is in fact only in the SE one.
Still that sped-up-to-fit-the-timing thing kinda ruins it, so oh well.
Yeah it's like when they cram stuff in on any scene for half a second just to fill an empty pointless space.
Like when they enter mos eisley and there's suddenly gigantic 3D cgi creatures in the middle of the shot making it impossible to see the set design that was actually in the film... The special editions are pointless and nonsensical and they ruin an otherwise perfect film.
David Lynch's ROTJ is one of the great what-ifs of movie history. And from what Carrie Fisher said, the coke-nail thing is a myth. She said she used a little metal spoon like proper Hollywood royalty.
@@zogwort1522 Because she liked to glorify her coke use while pretending to do the opposite. Like you said,, we have all seen her nasty coke nails with our own eyes.
I'm just pissed we'll never see Richard Marquand's _Dune._
i can see she only has one short nail in the shot.
Yeah, seems like you'd drop the whole bump with your index finger.
I never knew about the "I can see alot better" change. So for me that's always been the line and I always took that line as Han being snarky and that he actually still CANNOT see but he says that to get Lando to trust him.
yeah lol
I consider this video an early Christmas present. I've never written to thank you guys for the videos you make. You guys are one of the reasons UA-cam is so much fun. God bless you all, and have a great Christmas and new year.

The transition from nostalgic, innocent jokes about the actors hairstyles to utter disgust and contempt for the CGI Sebulba walking into Jabba's palace is so seamless, it's beautiful really.

Both had me cackling like a madman. Like George Lucas.
I lost it at "Lets all go after that bear!"
You frequently hear Jay say that down at the Manhole on "Fur Trappin' Nights".
That Palpatine fight scene intercut with the Macbeth footage was great. The editing in general adds a lot to these tracks.
My stupid fan theory is that chewie is all goofy in this one because he had gone insane, having just found out that his family were blown up by the empire after the Star Wars holiday special 😂
The second half of Jedi is almost like an usual Best of the Worst movie, entirely filmed in the woods. lol
You earned my thumbs up when you added the thought bubbles scenes of leia when Luke is hiding from vader and told that his thoughts betray him. I did a LOL
with Hayden Christensen as Shield Generator Door
Jesus Christ I fucking shit myself laughing. You did some seriously great edits on this one. It was perfect. Merry Xmas! lol
Thank you so much, glad you liked my take on it!
God bless you for your editing prowess. You do a great job with these.

@@BanyaBat you’re very welcome.
I love that C3P0, fluent in 5 million (or whatever) languages, speaks at Jabba's door like an oxbride Englishman reading from a phrasebook.

This enhances an already good commentary track. All your edits help reinforce and drive home what the RLM crew is discussing, as well as having a few funny gags of your own. Good stuff.
Thanks very much... More here if you enjoyed this!: ua-cam.com/channels/k1jbdRuPM7WCgl9RPX-roQ.html
I watched the original movie in Theaters in 1983. At the time I had no idea it was a new Death Star, I thought that was the old one after it was blown up. I was 8 at the time.
Holy shit, the Cameron Mitchell "Close the f*cking door" bit was amazing!! top notch!!
34:00 There are people like Ian McDiarmid, Patrick Steward, Kate Mulgrew, et cetera who always look old, no matter what age.
40:21 man you're fantastic and certainy know your RLM lore!!!
Seems safe to give a bunch of kids light sabers, and leave them alone in a room, nothing would never happen, try to give your kids toy swords and leave them alone in a room for 5 minutes and see what happens.
"his feet aren't even ghosts" lmao thanks for this edit, you interject just enough of your own jokes and side content to not make it overloaded
Lightsaber noob training + pressurized spaceship = explosive decompression probably.
Its just so dense. Every scene has so much going on
42:05 I am surprised there wasn't a comment on how the ships in front of the millennium falcon just pop into existence before doing their cool 100% synchronized maneuvers.
Can you make the door bigger?
Can you make the door bigger?

These videos are perfect when waiting for the next RLM video. Very nicely put together and consistent with the guys' sense of humour.
Thanks, Leon! Merry Christmas!
A huge amount of work will always go into any video like this and I want to thank you for that obviously but I also want to commend you on your excellent editing. You nailed the humour.
49:27 - The transition from the "Yub-Yub" song to the full Star Wars theme credits is what actually sold that original ending...
The movie where Star Wars went from a true drama such as Empire to a reason to sell toys
The "no sex" sequence at 18:35 was some of the funniest content I've seen in a long time. I couldn't stop laughing.
You couldn't stop laughing? Doubtful. That's a big stretch, but you forced it anyway.
Double puns ftw.
I always felt if he HAD to show all the planets rejoicing in victory with the music that was fine, so long as it closed with yub nub. The very end of it had a very heroic sound before the Star Wars theme.
uhhhh no
The whole Palpatine edit sequence was really well done.
Thanks, it was a bit of a torture to assemble!
Those edits and adds really add a lot of valuable and interesting context! You were really thorough!
I love R2. He’s such a brave little sailor mouthed naughty boy.
The reason Luke and Leia’s backstory and history makes no sense at all is that their entire sibling relationship was yet one more lazy snap decision prefiguring the nonsense of the prequels, like rebuilding the Death Star- the line “there is another” in Empire was meant to refer to an entirely separate character, a sister of Luke’s named Nellith. George Lucas got bored and impatient, said “f*** it, Leia’s his sister”, and just ignored all the gaping plot holes this created, and the fact that it made the two previous films seem creepy and incestuous. Definitely a harbinger of the lazy snap-decision making that would destroy the franchise later. At this point, the only way to untangle the disastrous knot of incoherent plot threads and intelligently resurrect this franchise would be to scrap everything but the first two films and rewrite the rest of the story from scratch- RotJ is really when it started becoming too broken to fix.
ANH and ESB are already too broken to fix.
Imagine how different these films could have been without the majestic voice of JEJ. That might be the most excellent voice acting role ever, and that wasn't even a job title yet.
Well he's a face actor too
@@WreckageBrother-rd5zf That is not what made him an icon.
@@jasoncoward-aintscared Maybe less so
Your editing is great, keep it up and more please thank you
Thank you!
That celebration ending is so goddamn goofy, it instantly contradicts both the Legends and new Canon continuity. But I guess it's kind of fitting for Lucas' idea that RotJ is the grand finale of the SW story (until he changed his mind about it later lmao).
lol 15:00 "Is he Scottish now?" *hastily added plaid* "Eyyy"
I was gonna complain that we don't need ANOTHER persons edit of the Rotj commentary, because complaining is what I do, but then I saw it was 50 minutes. I was wrong, this is great
Dude ALL we want is the original copies of the films. Give it now
"It's alright I can see a lot better now" seems so much more like the type of bullshit Han would come out with, including the extra fast delivery. He's saying something technically reassuring but putting zero effort into making it sound convincing lol. It has the exact same vibe as "boring conversation anyway"
Luke, at that speed, will you be able to pull out in time?-my favorite one😂😂😂
If they ever spoof this movie just imagine Boba Fett just standing on the barge fight, puts out a cigarette, goes "I'm independent contract" then flies off.
That honestly would have worked out really well in the real movie too. Boba drops a line like that in 2 games even
