I thought this was an improvement over the first video, with the only complaint being that he was a bit too flippant about Lucas adding and then removing Luke’s scream. (However, this again would’ve been a great time to note that according to Matthew Wood, it was an error that Lucas never approved of in the first place and that Ben Burtt put it in himself and must’ve forgotten to ask.)

According to Matthew Wood, the scream was added at George’s request for the '97 Special edition. It was when it came around to doing the mix for the 2004 DVD’s that Mathew , who hated the scream, removed the sound effect and George didn’t notice it had gone, so it stayed that way.

I didn’t know any of this was documented. Do you happen to remember where, Adywan? That scream is still burned into my brain.😑

No that’s incorrect. He said George didn’t remember approving it for 1997 so they removed it for 2004.

Actually, Mathews original story was that he took it out because he hated it and George didn’t notice. When asked about it for the Blast Points podcast he gave your answer. But Ben Burtt has also stated that nothing was changed in the 1997 SE’s without George’s approval.

Curious, where did you hear his original story as you put it?

RocketJump’s video is an advertising hit piece for a pretend film school. Blame George for the genuine screw ups he did, but heavily implying he was the cause for every problem in the movie, manipulating and lying, and going “Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!” is so utterly disingenuous. It just makes everyone that wants to see the theatrical versions look bad.

Are you serious? The “professor” says this, making it sound like the editors introduced the following idea in the final battle: “The Death Star was not about to destroy the Rebel Base.” This was a story point since the third draft and in a slightly different manner, it was there in the second draft. Yep, the Death Star was relaxing waiting to be blown up. It totally wasn’t tracking the Millennium Falcon to discover and destroy the hidden Rebel Base. /s And that’s only one lie or how about the times they quote Rinzler’s book, but omit in-between sentences to change the context.
As for advertising, it’s an advertisement for a pretend online film school which, as of writing, no longer exists, lol. It’s a hit piece against George, that’s crystal clear like how the “professor” complains about George changing the text on the terminal from English to Aurebesh as if no one can understand what a bar suddenly decreasing after Obi-Wan turns a lever means, lmao.
I’m perfectly fine thank you very much however you don’t sound ok to me.
