In the same vein as Ripplin’s YouTube/Vimeo/etc… Star Wars finds thread which is now in the Expanded Universe section, and Fated-Dualist’s The random YouTube / Vimeo etc video finds thread for the Original Trilogy thread for the OT section, I figured it made sense to make one for the post OT movies and TV series as well.

This thread doesn’t really need any “rules” as with the documentary and trailer threads, but a highlighted title would be appreciated as an addition to the video link to make it easier to differentiate a video post from a reply.

VFX Artists React to THE PREQUELS Bad & Great CGi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbAV4dO8gvM - from the Corridor Crew YouTube channel (15 mins long)

The blurb:
“The Crew reacts to some of their favorite Bad and Great CGi Shots from the Star Wars Prequels!”

(They also did a similar video for the OT.)

Lots of interesting observations here. I personally don’t agree with everything he says, especially in the second video (like f.ex. I don’t think TROS makes Vader’s sacrifice pointless), but I do agree with the general broad strokes of it.

What Do We Want From a Star Wars Movie?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeUGLUYYYNQ - from the Patrick (H) Willems YouTube channel (20 mins long)

What Do We Want From a Star Wars Movie? (Part II)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PjlM2R88E0 - from the Patrick (H) Willems YouTube channel (31 mins long)

Darth Vader’s Dark Humor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DujoETO8RM&list=PLYn2a0e2FVIKni_wHXR5CJYBnnnYH7mIB&index=21&t - from the EC Henry YouTube channel (2 mins long)

The blurb:
“Since the very beginning, Darth Vader has apparently enjoyed a little bit of dark humor. Rogue One is no exception!”

Why I Love Rogue One’s Characters (Merrick, Melshi, Sefla, and more!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtuxcrFa9xc&list=PLYn2a0e2FVIKni_wHXR5CJYBnnnYH7mIB&index=30&t - from the EC Henry YouTube channel (3 mins long)

The blurb:
“Lots of people said they didn’t care about the characters in Rogue One. I think just the opposite!”

Bor Gullet and the Problem with Star Wars Canon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-3jg8tNIhI&list=PLYn2a0e2FVIKni_wHXR5CJYBnnnYH7mIB&index=28&t - from the EC Henry YouTube channel (3:30 mins long)

The blurb:
“Bor Gullet had a huge amount of potential, but the Rogue One novelization demystified the character and made him less interesting.”

The Forgotten Alternate Draft of the STAR WARS Holiday Special…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C25xry0NywY&list=PLYn2a0e2FVIKni_wHXR5CJYBnnnYH7mIB&index=8&t - from the NerdSync YouTube channel (18 mins long)

The blurb:
“The Star Wars Christmas special is a variety show fever dream and a stain on the Star Wars franchise that is seldom acknowledged by George Lucas or the franchise’s main actors Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, or Harrison Ford. Today, we’re explaining the insane behind-the-scenes history of the Star Wars Holiday Special’s production challenges, script changes, and stories of cast members almost dying! Plus, we take a look at a forgotten alternate draft of the script that never got made…”

The Impossibly Bad Star Wars Holiday Special - Caravan Of Garbage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3coszZ71SRs&list=PLYn2a0e2FVIKni_wHXR5CJYBnnnYH7mIB&index=82&t - from the Mr Sunday Movies YouTube channel (15 mins long)

The Phantom Menace Pepsi TV Commercial 1999 featuring Jake Lloyd
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXbJcqIYowI - from the Analog Memories YouTube channel (30 sec long).

And the follow up I guess? (It even takes a not so subtle jab at Jar Jar);
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycOfbjWGYAk - from the Analog Memories YouTube channel (30 sec long).

Another fun language analysis video by EC Henry in the same vein as the Learning Ubese video he did a while back.

Learn to Speak Geonosian!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vqsJC4sYig - from the EC Henry YouTube channel (13 mins long).

The blurb:
“Geonosian seems like a strange language with many impossible sounds. But in reality, it’s straightforward and easy to learn. So come and learn so you can understand everything that Poggle the Lesser says!”
