So they used two takes of the same scene back to back.
I’m amazed
…and insulted.Lucas/Chew/Hirsch did the same thing more than a few times in 1977, IIRC.
I don’t think it’s insulting really. It’s just editing. The whole thing is a trick. Some tricks are better than others.
That there’s a big Zapruder-like YouTube video “exposing” it seems odd, to me. “They’re trying to fool you, but we see through their attempts!” Of course they’re trying to fool you. They’re filmmakers.
Yeah, I’ve never liked the Plinkett-style videos that take a thousand nitpicks and pass it off as “objective criticism”. It just seems like reaching to get as much criticism as possible, and by extension make the movies seem as bad as possible. If you applied the same style of criticism to the OT, those movies would seem like the worst movies of all time. I was just pointing out that I noticed this editing quirk before, I wasn’t saying I have a problem with it.
I’d love to see a parody Plinkett video on why Empire Strikes Back is an objectively bad movie.
