Has anyone seen any good Original Trilogy focused videos lately?

Are there any other good channels out there, apart from HelloGreedo and EC Henry, that still do quality OT themed videos?

There is a list of YouTube channels and other media that sometimes feature the Original Trilogy in the “FAQs, Information & Useful Links” part of the OT Index thread, but yeah, there isn’t much new content on the OT these days. I think the algorithm has likely helped put a stop on that.

Star Wars Trilogy VHS Collector’s Preview 1989 - 4 minute YouTube video from MoviewWeb (the VHS set was released in 1990).

Cool 1980 news video about a little kid visiting the set of Dagobah and meeting Luke Skywalker, unfortunately also meets Jimmy Saville.

‘Star Wars Home Video Trivia: Questions 1 - 10 (Hosted by Nathan P. Butler)’ - 11 minute video:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-9cwQwn0xw
 

The blurb: ‘Nathan P. Butler asks Star Wars home video trivia questions (and provides answers at the end). The audience is invited to play along and post their scores. Each video includes 10 questions, and viewers may keep track of their score for a single episode or the series as a whole (hence numbering each episode for the next 10, rather than starting back at 1 each time)’.

I got 7/10 (and am quite happy with that).

A lot of fun - and well presented and hosted by Nathan (as ever). Looking forward to more…
 

‘The Best Scene in Star Wars’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4_sehO3VM0 - an 8 minute video from the EC Henry youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘Star Wars is full of great writing and amazing scenes. But is this scene in A New Hope the best scene in the saga? It just might be, but maybe for reasons you wouldn’t expect!’
 

‘The STAR WARS Trilogy | A Complete Retrospective - 1’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMF1PgaIdJk - a 2 hour 40 minute video from the Prime’s Theater youtube channel.
 

The blurb: 'It’s the mid-1970s, and George Lucas is working on his most ambitious movie yet: a space opera following rebels, imperials, wizards, and space-ships.

Little did anyone know that it would become one of the biggest and most revolutionary movies of all time.

Take a journey from 1973 to 1983 to witness the creation, triumphs, and defeats of the original Star Wars trilogy. From the creation of the story to the dawn of ILM and even to the great reception over time.’

I haven’t watch it myself as yet - but have heard good things about it from people that have.
 

‘The Biggest Vintage Star Wars Collection Goes On Sale!’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MQQXDP_ROE - 17 minute video from the The Padawan Collector youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘The Jacob vintage Star Wars collection recently went on auction with some of the rarest Star Wars toys on the planet. Let’s see what the top vintage items sold for.’

A bit too much of ‘the highest possible grading in the world’ for me 😉 Yet an insightful video all the same… especially given some of the eye watering prices that some of these OT pieces went for (plus a few vintage pieces from outside the GFFA).

www.youtube.com/watch?v=puLSHtiK_XE - a 49 minute video from the official Mythbusters youtube cvhannel.
 

The blurb: 'Not so long ago, in a workshop not so far, far away, a band of rebel scientists, striking from a hidden base in San Francisco tested 3 Star Wars myths and restored common sense to the galaxy!

Using science as a tool, Hollywood special effects experts attempt to debunk rumours, urban legends and popular myths that have captivated the minds of many individuals. #MythBusters #FactOrFiction’

The blurb: ‘Fanhome is re-launching their “Build Your Own R2-D2,” a fully functional ½ scale model of the screen used prop. This is the same R2-D2 you can watch us build box-by-box to completion. And now, one year later, the question remains, “Is it still worth it?” Join us as we talk about this amazing model and show what it can still do. We also plan to build another R2, thanks to Fanhome, and will attempt their recommended paint apps and weathering. Join us as we review our experience and give advice to those considering purchasing this model.’.
 

‘Star Wars: Original Trilogy Music Mix (Relaxing, Nostalgic) VHS Sound Quality’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMywm5W8T9c - a 2 hour video from the Helix youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘Sit back and enjoy the nostalgic sounds of the original VHS-audio soundtracks–specifically a relaxing mix of low-energy or calm theme songs without combat music or too much drama. For some of us, Star Wars was just the Original Trilogy for over 20 years, before any serious new movies came out. 20 years of games, books, comics, shows, and more…all dreaming of what the original three established for us. This music mix is for a quick trip back to that time–a time when we still didn’t even know what the Clone Wars looked like, and we could only dream. And a time when crossed wires and old, heavily-used tapes from Blockbuster sounded a little rough. But we made do. 😃’
 

‘Battles of the Galaxy | Star Wars Original Trilogy OST Xtra’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFMtj6P5LvA - 51 minute video from the Star Wars Music Hub youtube channel.
