^It seems those costumes really got around in the late 70’s.

Richard Pryor - Star Wars Bar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kJkhEcQ44k&list=PLYn2a0e2FVIKni_wHXR5CJYBnnnYH7mIB&index=20&t - from the almostpink YouTube channel (5 mins long).

The blurb:
“Bartender, Richard Pryor, with real costumes from the original Star Wars.”

It’s fascinating to see how rough some of these costumes look when they’re used for more than just the few seconds they were made for. One of the ask is visibly being held together with duct tape, and if you compare it to ANH they’ve mixed up the sound effects so that they come from the ‘wrong’ aliens.

BTW, I’ve always figured the squid-thing from the end was made specifically for this sketch as I can’t remember ever seeing it in any BTS content. Though considering there was originally a giant praying mantis that they tried to hide in the edit, I guess it could be from the movie as well.

A few of my favourite Robot Chicken SW videos.

Don’t tell Vader - Robot Chicken

This Deal’s Getting Worse All The Time - Robot Chicken

Try the Calamari - Robot Chicken
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOaROFFhpL4 - from the official Adult Swim YouTube channel (7 sec long).

BTW. That last one has to be so confusing to more casual SW fans who might not know that Ackbar is a Mon Calamari.

There’s been some really good Star Trek “INtakes” where someone took various outtakes, like flubbed lines, actors being silly, etc. and edited these shots back into the finished scene, but this is the only Star Wars one I could find.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Time Capsule
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppedjj7pvZ4 - from the official Star Wars YouTube channel (3:50 mins long).

The blurb:
“Happy 40th anniversary to The Empire Strikes Back! Travel back with us as we revisit production on the film with exclusive archival behind-the-scenes footage and interviews featuring the cast and creative team.”

I wasn’t quire sure if this fit in the making-ofs thread, so I figured I’d post it here instead. There’s a lot of great BTS footage here, much of which I’ve seen in the various EBS videos posted on the making-ofs thread, but some clips here are completely new to me.

 
‘The most authentic UNALTERED THEATRICAL cut of Star Wars is here … and it’s in 4K | PROJECT 4K77’:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwnMWS1iFTE - at the HelloGreedo youtube channel. (5 minutes long)
 

The blurb:

“97% of project 4K77 is from a single, original 1977 35mm Technicolor release print so if it goes from blurry to sharp, grainy to not grainy, bright to dark, that’s because it also did that in 1977. Color correction was a single correction per reel – the optical audio track was used to white balance the image, and the contrast adjusted to ensure that there was no clipping of the highlights or crushing of the blacks, so if the color changes from shot to shot, or it goes from very dark inside to very bright outside, that’s how it is on the print. Film has a greater contrast range than home video, and of course was graded for viewing, reflected off of a giant silver screen.” - Read more at https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k77

Short short summary on some of the biggest influences on Star Wars as well as a bit of musing on the nature of creativity and originality.

Despecialized vs Project 4K77 vs Star Wars Official 2011 Blu-Ray

The blurb:
“Let’s take a look at Harmy’s Despecialized Edition, Project 4K77, and the official 2011 Star Wars Blu-Ray release. I’ll discuss some history of each project, and then jump into comparing all three versions.”

HelloGreedo has already done a few similar videos about this subject, but I think this is the best one so far. It succinctly summarizes the history of the three versions, adding just enough details about Harmy, Team negative 1, etc, while showcasing some of the biggest ANH differences and even commenting on the restoration community itself.

Oh I was just going to post that. It’s a cool series and it’s dumb that the newer movies don’t have such interesting designs.

As I was watching the video I suddenly thought to myself, “if only they’d done something like this for TROS then Kylo escaping the DS2 in a TIE would actually make sense.” Just to be clear, I’m not someone who really cares about realism in SW, but I do feel that consistency is important. It’s too bad that the new movies can’t come up with ideas like EC Henry’s. They’ve had a few interesting new ships, and even dusted off some cool old designs, but nothing like this. I hope they one day come to their senses and take advantage of these fan ideas and actually use them (properly that is, not stealing designs like Marvel has). I’d love to see something like Henry’s Imperial Nebulon-B or the Civilian Snowspeeder in a future series or movie.
