Court métrageTranscription
00:00And good evening, good evening everyone, it's November 23rd and tonight is going to be fateful.
00:07because we're going to talk about Star Wars.
00:09And we're going to talk about everything Star Wars. Really, from beginning to end, I don't know how long.
00:15This is going to last.
00:16And that's great, listen, we're going to start right away, we're going to start right away, it's so
00:20a thorny subject that...
00:22So we'll start with the basics, of course, we'll start with Star Wars, the first one, episode
00:294, obviously.
00:30The first episode, the first film, so there's a lot to say about the first one.
00:35The film is quite interesting.
00:37Because the first film has a vision from George Lucas, I'm not going to go into all the details.
00:41'History of who George Lucas is, how he brought Star Wars to the screens, all that.
00:45What you need to know about George Lucas and the first Star Wars is that he has
00:49a vision, a desire he has had since he was very young, ever since he saw Flash Gordon on television.
00:55His idea is to create his own space opera. He's there with Star Wars, he's directed a few
01:00Years earlier, American Graffiti had worked extremely well.
01:03So naturally, he was given free rein with Star Wars, well, free rein.
01:06There is still a limited budget of $11 million, which isn't bad when
01:10even for the time, but it's nothing compared to the budget that can be allocated to
01:16Star Wars films today, and even later on, obviously.
01:19But Star Wars, the first Star Wars when it was filmed, you should know that there isn't
01:24A lot of people believe it.
01:25The crew members on set generally find it a bit silly, that is to say
01:29that the actresses, the actors, the technicians, everyone, nobody understands what is happening.
01:34We see a kind of tall guy dressed as a monkey walking around, there are robots driving by,
01:39Finally, the guys are like, "What is this thing? What are we..."
01:42is it currently rotating?
01:43Besides, nobody understands anything anymore, and George Lucas, you should know, is a rather withdrawn guy.
01:47about himself, not very introverted, doesn't talk much, has a little trouble showing his stuff, finally
01:53At least that's his vision.
01:54So he's not going to be super explicit about what he wants to say, so nobody's really going to understand.
01:58Furthermore, in terms of directing actors, George Lucas is still very limited, that is to say
02:05that there are plenty of testimonies from Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford,
02:08where his direction of the actors was limited to "go faster, go more intense" and that's
02:16'stopped there.
02:16Star Wars, the first one, has a disconcertingly simple narrative, based on an absolute Manichaeism.
02:24But it is also its simplicity that makes it so strong.
02:27because we really have characters who are perhaps not caricatures, but who are easily detectable, let's say.
02:36We're going to have two heroes, Luke and Leia, and we're going to have an anti-hero, who...
02:42Anne is here, and then we'll have the whole Empire with Darth Vader,
02:46the generals, etc., who will truly represent absolute evil.
02:49This kind of Manichaeism is welcome in '77, because we're right in the thick of it, for once, even if
02:54In 1977, Hollywood was definitely undergoing a major transformation.
02:57because this is the new Hollywood, and this is precisely the era when directors take power and will
03:02to bring about a much more serious kind of cinema,
03:04much more grounded in reality, and then you have George Lucas in '77 who comes along with Star Wars, a
03:08something relatively childish.
03:10And that will completely disrupt that dynamic among directors, like Scorsese who will release Taxi Driver.
03:16like Easy Rider, like Coppola films, for example.
03:21All of this is going to be broken by George Lucas, which will gently but surely usher in the 80s.
03:26pure entertainment
03:28Science fiction, space opera, fantasy, etc.
03:31So there you have it, the first Star Wars is something quite interesting.
03:34Feel free to tell me what you think of the first Star Wars, because actually, it is
03:36so obvious, the first Star Wars,
03:38When we talk about it, ultimately, there aren't many people who have a firm opinion.
03:41about the first Star Wars.
03:43I can understand that the first Star Wars film, even if it's considered mediocre, might be found in many different contexts.
03:49of aspects.
03:49One might find that it has aged poorly.
03:51I know that, for example, Obi-Wan's lightsaber duel against Darth Vader, so, he
03:58extremely poorly aged.
03:59It's true that we have the impression of being back in front of the fight in the first Kaamelott film, a
04:03little.
04:04A little dig.
04:05But it's true that, in this case, people will keep the first Star Wars close to them.
04:11like a comforting, feel-good movie
04:13Because, precisely, it's the first Star Wars that brings something very effective to the table, particularly through
04:17the characters.
04:18But in many respects, I can understand that some people will say,
04:23Well, it may have aged a bit badly, and I may find it harder to understand today.
04:26watch him.
04:26I still get a lot of pleasure from watching it today, even if, nowadays, we don't watch it
04:30really the 1977 version.
04:32But we'll come back to that, of course, don't worry.
04:34After that, the film as it is, we can no longer watch it...
04:37Ah, there you go, well yes, that's what I'm saying to myself, indeed, the special editions.
04:41But we'll get to that, we're not at the special editions stage yet.
04:43Right now, we're staying focused on the films, but it's a topic we'll address in...
04:47the live stream.
04:48I tried to divide all of this into chapters.
04:49Episode 4 had the advantage of being revolutionary for its time, but I agree, the script...
04:53It's not very interesting.
04:54Yeah, that's it, we're dealing with something, like I said, really quite simple.
04:58And at the same time, that's what allows the film to be so effective and also so timeless.
05:03The fact is that even today, the script still speaks to people.
05:05We don't say to ourselves, oh yes, but back then, that's how it was.
05:07That is to say, even if you put a kid today in front of the first Star Wars, apart from the
05:10This might make him think, "Ah, that's a bit old-fashioned."
05:12The story itself will be very simple to understand.
05:14And that's the strength of Star Wars, I think, at least of the first Star Wars film.
05:18And that's perhaps also why the film is going to be such a huge success, because of the success of Star
05:23Wars back in the day, from the first Star Wars in '77,
05:26Nobody is expecting it, really, nobody is expecting it, to such an extent that, just to remind you,
05:31Star Wars in '77 grossed over $500 million worldwide, so it's
05:36Absolutely enormous.
05:37I think that with inflation, today we are exceeding one billion, for a budget of 11 million.
05:42So the return on investment is incredible.
05:45And here, I'm obviously only talking about the film's box office receipts; I'm not even talking about merchandising, of all
05:50That stuff is even more astounding.
05:52And that's precisely where George Lucas was so brilliant; he actually believed...
05:58Indeed, as I was saying earlier, he was the only one who believed it.
06:02And this kind of unexpected triumph will, precisely, allow him to win what he has always wanted to win, c
06:07'that is to say, creative freedom,'
06:08since he's going to lower his fee, or rather, let's say that during the film's production, he's going to approach Fox,
06:13And he's going to attempt an incredible gamble; he's going to lower his fee, and in exchange, he's going to...
06:19requesting total creative freedom on future episodes
06:22And on this one, obviously, but anyway, like I said, nobody cared about
06:26this film,
06:26and also full ownership of the derivative products, and what that will entail in terms of cost.
06:32He's the one who's going to get it, and Fox is going to accept it, since at the time, merchandise...
06:35'It's not the most widespread thing,'
06:37That is to say, it really started with Jaws, which sold a lot of
06:40merchandising,
06:40But before that, it wasn't anything crazy either, and since nobody believed in it, they
06:44are said
06:44Well yes, take your merchandise, you'll sell two figurines, and then that's it, but in fact, it was
06:47a complete success
06:48As a result, George Lucas made so much money from merchandise that he was able to create his own
06:52Lucasfilm production company,
06:53And so, he completely beat Fox to the punch for episode 5, since he's going to self-produce the episode.
07:015,
07:01And it will be one of the biggest successes for an independent film in Hollywood.
07:06since Episode 5 is ultimately an independent film, since it was entirely produced and distributed by Lucasfilm.
07:12by Fox.
07:13I recorded it from TV onto VHS, oh yeah, well then, I hope you have
07:16VHS again.
07:16Because nowadays it's a collector's item, if you have the original version, but yeah, so, there you go.
07:20So Star Wars is a success, well, you don't see, there, it would be completely,
07:27It would be stating the obvious to tell you that Star Wars is an incredible success.
07:32But at the same time, the first Star Wars, that's the case, was an incredible success.
07:34And what's crazy is that, well, George Lucas always hated Hollywood studios.
07:39and the way they went around castrating artists and telling them what to do, all that,
07:44And ultimately, it is this studio that will eventually become a Hollywood studio, a major studio.
07:48And besides, he explains it well; I have a video clip that I'm going to show you.
07:51where he explains quite clearly this point of view that he has between being under the thumb of the studios
07:57and become a fully-fledged studio, basically.
08:34So, that's interesting; what he's saying is that he's aware that he has become
08:38everything he tried to reject
08:39throughout his career, so it's quite something, the parallel is quite funny.
08:44Episode 4, though, if you look closely, was constructed like a film in its own right.
08:49If we look at episode 4 today, there is a beginning, there is an end.
08:52Episode 4 ends with the destruction of the Death Star.
08:55There are the heroes who are crowned and it ends there, and in the end, it can be
08:59a film alone.
09:00And it was constructed that way precisely because, at the time, the trilogy wasn't yet guaranteed.
09:03The first film had to work, and Lucas thought, well, if it doesn't work, at least I
09:07I would have made my film,
09:08It will hold together in one piece, and that will be perfectly sufficient.
09:11He will obviously drop little hints here and there to lead to a sequel.
09:16Because what he wants is to make a trilogy.
09:17Given the film's enormous success, obviously, episode 5 will arrive.
09:22And episode 5 is double everything, actually, meaning it's double
09:25budget,
09:27double extra, double set, double everything you want,
09:30Episode 5 is a kind of production that will bring something even more exponential.
09:36in terms of staging, set design, and combat.
09:40In episode 5, you can really feel that there's twice the budget.
09:42There's made painting, for example, I don't know if you know what made is.
09:44painting,
09:45That is to say, it is artists who will paint the sets and the depth of the sets.
09:49So there are several made-paintings that will be created for very, very wide shots.
09:53in particular, whether on the planet Hoth, on the Death Star,
09:57And these are things that are still fabulous today; these are truly artists who will create
10:00the decorations by hand.
10:01We have quite a few interesting elements that will be put in place in terms of practical effects.
10:05I know I have an anecdote, for example, I don't know if you remember this scene
10:07where Leia and Anne are trapped in some kind of monster in a crater in the
10:15'space,
10:15And they will try to get out, and when they get out, the monster will try to catch them
10:19like that.
10:19But actually, that thing is just a table on a tripod, so the set is a
10:24table on a tripod.
10:25They built the whole crater-like thing on top of that, and actually, it was a guy who
10:29is hidden underneath
10:30and who's going to stick out their hand with a slightly customized washcloth to grab the thing.
10:34So we're talking about these kinds of practical effects that are actually quite funny when you see the making-of.
10:39-of,
10:40but which still work very well today, even if we obviously see the difference today with 4K
10:44The thing is made of foam, obviously, but that's also part of the charm of the film.
10:48Not liking number 5? Oh yeah, well, that's very rare, actually.
10:51because the fifth one is really a film that people generally love,
10:54So it's quite rare, but why not.
10:57It's my favorite film because it's darker and has better character development.
11:00Yes, absolutely, completely. We're dealing with something like...
11:02In any case, as far as the characters are concerned, they are much better developed.
11:05and above all, much better directed, since Erwin Kirchner is going to direct the film.
11:09So he's... Erwin Kirchner, he's the professor...
11:14He was George Lucas's teacher when he was at film school.
11:18And it was Lucas who called upon him to direct the fifth installment.
11:22since obviously, now that Lucas is a producer,
11:24and that he has his own production company,
11:26He, in fact, will be handling everything related to post-production and pre-production.
11:31casting choices, etc.
11:32And he will free up a little time by choosing, therefore,
11:35his former film professor to direct the film,
11:38And you can really feel the difference in terms of acting.
11:40because above all, you can feel the difference in terms of actor direction.
11:44Kirchner will bring much more emotion to the character development,
11:49in the dialogues too, and then he'll let them improvise.
11:51He will especially allow Harrison Ford a great deal of improvisation.
11:55there's a lot of dialogue, so it feels much more natural in this film.
11:59As you said, Lucas is a genius creator, but a poor director.
12:02Yes, indeed, in fact, he sometimes has flashes of brilliance in terms of directing.
12:05But in terms of directing actors, yes, it's a major problem.
12:08But we'll come back to that, especially when we talk about the prequel trilogy.
12:10Yes, indeed, with Kirchner, there's a real difference in terms of characters.
12:14They are much better developed, the story is much darker.
12:17In fact, it's actually much darker.
12:19We know that during the first half hour, it's going to be a real struggle.
12:23It's going to cut off arms, it's going to crush men.
12:26There are emptied entrails, there are blood scars, there is...
12:30'incest,
12:30I mean, the film is still four times darker than the first film, you know.
12:33There is indeed a mutilation right from the intro.
12:36But still, that's not the most shocking thing, I mean,
12:37It came out the same year as, I think it came out the same year as The Thing.
12:40That kind of thing, it's not, I mean,
12:42When his hand gets cut off and all that, it's not like we're dealing with ultra-gory effects either.
12:45So it's not a problem.
12:46But that's precisely what's interesting about putting that in place.
12:48And above all, the title, The Empire Strikes Back, is the logical continuation.
12:52Since we're on the subject, the first one was the overwhelming victory of the Rebel Alliance,
12:57Undeniable, borderline, for us, we thought they had won.
13:00Because, well, if there hadn't been a sequel, it would have been the end of this saga right away.
13:03the first film,
13:04But, and this is precisely the principle behind The Empire Strikes Back,
13:07since they lost in the first film,
13:09And so, they will counter-attack.
13:10And it starts right at the beginning of the film, when they arrive on the planet Haute.
13:14This continues when, precisely, Darth Vader gains the upper hand over his son.
13:18And indeed, Luke's rise to power in A New Hope
13:20inevitably led to his downfall in The Empire Strikes Back.
13:23So, that's where the character development gets really interesting.
13:26And that's where things will get tricky with the character of Rey, for example, in the sequel trilogy.
13:30where these kinds of questioning don't occur,
13:33But we'll come back to that, of course.
13:35And most importantly, what's interesting is that the film will separate its characters,
13:38So, that's something that's very common nowadays in terms of staging.
13:41For example, Infinity War will do that, it will separate its characters.
13:44and will bring several sequences with several characters.
13:47Well, back then, The Empire Strikes Back already did that.
13:50He will separate his characters.
13:51He will take his characters through different sequences, some more or less dramatic, it depends.
13:56But in any case, the strength of the editing is precisely that,
13:59Each sequence with each character will end at a key moment.
14:02at a time of peak tension and questioning,
14:06to move on to another sequence,
14:07so that the viewer never gets bored watching the film.
14:09And that's where the strength of episode 5 lies.
14:11And that's why it's still extremely effective today.
14:13And that's why it's one of the favorite installments for many Star Wars fans.
14:17Because, indeed, it contrasts completely with episode 4.
14:20It brings many more things,
14:21and yet it remains in the essence of what Star Wars is.
14:24So, in this case, episode 5 is indeed a very great success.
14:27What did you think of episode 5?
14:29Feel free to tell me that in the comments.
14:30Even though I think I more or less know your opinion,
14:33Here, we're not really dealing with highly controversial debates.
14:36But we can have, for example, someone in the chat,
14:39GR5544, who doesn't like episode 5,
14:41And that's understandable.
14:42But feel free to justify your opinion in relation to that.
14:48This is my favorite episode out of the 6 movies and the 3 pieces of crap.
14:51Oh dear, here we go, it's starting...
14:52Wait, wait, wait, we'll talk about it.
14:55Don't start.
14:56Yes, I can understand that; there are many people who...
14:58It's not my favorite.
15:01He is second or...
15:02Wait, I'm going to get my...
15:04I'm going to read this to you, because, in addition, I have the...
15:05On my letterbox, I have the...
15:07I have the Star Wars ranking, so I'll tell you how it's ranked.
15:10Is he second or third?
15:12He is second.
15:12For me, it's second, The Empire Strikes Back.
15:14I'll tell you the first one when it arrives.
15:15But the Empire Strikes Back...
15:16Try to guess, by the way, what your favorite movie is, Star Wars.
15:20Number 6, for me, remains above all the others.
15:22Well, that's interesting, but tell us why?
15:23Tell us why? We'll talk about it, I have the time on the 6th.
15:25We're getting there, episode 6.
15:26So, tell us why...
15:29For you, the sixth one is the best of the original trilogy.
15:33or even all of them, for all we know, huh?
15:35That's understandable, because the 6 is extremely effective.
15:37And besides, we'll talk about that right after the 6th.
15:39Your favorite is number 9.
15:40Well, listen, you'll see.
15:42You'll see, I'm not saying anything, I'm not saying anything, I'm leaving it as a surprise.
15:45I'll leave it as a surprise, we'll get there eventually, and you'll know.
15:48So, episode 6, Return of the Jedi, the revenge,
15:51Revenge of the Jedi, that's how it was supposed to happen...
15:53You know this story, of course.
15:54Originally, George Lucas was going to call episode 6,
15:57Revenge of the Jedi
15:59But he realized that a Jedi did not seek revenge.
16:01based on its lore and writing.
16:06So, he changed it for Return of the Jedi.
16:08But now, there are posters.
16:09with the existence of Revenge of the Jedi,
16:11And that's quite...
16:12There are even trailers for Revenge of the Jedi that exist.
16:14So it's quite funny.
16:15And Refker, indeed, the famous name from Return of the Jedi
16:19which was added, I believe, during the special editions,
16:22But that's the next topic: special editions.
16:24So don't worry, we'll get there.
16:25And so, Jerk told me, for episode 6,
16:27much better constructed, less of a hodgepodge,
16:29and the incredible emotions.
16:30Okay, that's it, very good, I can understand, I can understand.
16:32I also like episode 6.
16:34He was interested in its lore at the time.
16:36Ah, yes, well...
16:37Yes, indeed, George Lucas is also...
16:39It's complicated, George Lucas.
16:40Because he's a controversial figure, inevitably.
16:42There are so many debates to be had about George Lucas,
16:45and on how people,
16:46And especially Star Wars fans, George Lucas perceived,
16:48to what extent he was completely dispossessed of his work,
16:52but in the end, people went to advise him
16:54regarding what he should or should not do,
16:55but in the end, it was still her baby.
16:58So they could do whatever they wanted with it, basically.
16:59After that, indeed, one may not like it or one may like it.
17:01But there is a debate.
17:02But we'll mainly be talking about that in relation to the prequel trilogy.
17:04because the debate is more relevant to the prequels
17:08than on the original trilogy,
17:09where, indeed, there are not yet many controversies,
17:12even though in episode 6, there is still...
17:14Controversies are starting to arise.
17:16So, the return of the Jedi,
17:17which is directed by Richard Marcant
17:19which, incidentally, is not Marcant at all,
17:21because he hasn't accomplished much,
17:22That was Lucas's goal, I think, at the time.
17:24He was so badly walked all over
17:25by Erwin Keschner on episode 5
17:27He thought to himself, I'll take a young guy
17:29precisely to have total control over him
17:31and so that he avoids it
17:33to come and make a puzzle out of the film,
17:36as Erwin Keschner did in episode 5.
17:38Knowing that originally, it was David Lynch
17:40who had been considered to direct episode 6,
17:43And I must admit, I would have loved it.
17:45to see the head of a Star Wars film directed by David Lynch,
17:48I think it would have been fabulous.
17:50Especially when you see episode 6,
17:51which is probably the most childish episode,
17:53(in quotation marks)
17:53And the most suitable for all audiences of the three, in my opinion.
17:55It's still quite funny to think about it.
17:57that it was David Lynch who should have
17:58and who could have directed the film.
17:59I really like Return of the Jedi,
18:01Luke's evolution is striking.
18:03the stakes are high
18:04and the relationship with his father is omnipresent.
18:05Yes, indeed, the writing is very beautiful.
18:07Indeed, in Return of the Jedi.
18:10In many respects,
18:11There are also quite a few things that are different,
18:13because, as I was saying,
18:14the film is much more childish
18:16than the previous episode,
18:17So we're starting with a completely different dynamic.
18:19Once again,
18:20even if, well, more childish,
18:22We're dealing with some kind of sexual pervert, after all.
18:24at the beginning of the film
18:24who is called Jabba the Hutt
18:26and who will engage in sexual slavery
18:28a little bit weird,
18:29And then we have these somewhat carnivorous bears.
18:31who want to eat humans,
18:32Well, anyway, the teddy bears,
18:33the Ewoks.
18:34In addition to that, I think we have a Luke,
18:36personally,
18:36who is very arrogant in that film,
18:38I don't know what you think about it.
18:38But I think Luke,
18:39in episode 6,
18:40He's quite annoying.
18:41quite irritating.
18:42especially in the introduction,
18:43where he really shows off,
18:44Like, look at me, I'm a Jedi,
18:46He's not acting tough.
18:47I find him very arrogant.
18:48Precisely, for a Jedi,
18:49He arrives, dresses her in black,
18:51He is extremely arrogant.
18:51He doesn't look like a Jedi at all.
18:53It wasn't brought in that way.
18:55I think,
18:56compared to what it's supposed to be.
18:58So there's this thing there,
18:59and then, obviously
19:00There's the problem of the Ewoks,
19:03In fact.
19:04The problem with the Ewoks,
19:05So, for me,
19:05the Ewoks themselves,
19:06That's not a problem.
19:07It's actually very clever.
19:08for having introduced the Ewoks into the film,
19:09because,
19:10in terms of merchandising,
19:11It's a smelly hen.
19:12So, the problem, in fact,
19:13it's the way in which they are used
19:15The Ewoks in the film.
19:17Yes, so no.
19:17The Ewoks, the problem,
19:18that's because, in fact,
19:19They will be extremely decisive.
19:21in the fall of the Empire,
19:22and that's what people
19:23They didn't like it.
19:24whether at the time
19:24and even more so today,
19:25that's precisely the point,
19:27the Ewoks,
19:28the problem,
19:28that's what they are,
19:29In fact,
19:30They are omnipresent.
19:31during the climax,
19:32they convey seriousness
19:34of what the Empire is supposed to be
19:36and cruelty
19:37of what is supposed to be
19:38a Stormtrooper
19:38for jokes,
19:39because we can really see
19:42the Ewoks
19:42against the Stormtroopers
19:43in the forest,
19:44That's really Texavri.
19:45They fall into traps,
19:47They are being pelted with stones
19:48with objects,
19:50In short, it's nonsense.
19:51Oh, you think he's arrogant?
19:52I would have seen serenity,
19:53But you might be right.
19:53Yeah, but actually,
19:54from the memory I have of it,
19:55when he speaks to Jabba,
19:56he's really like
19:57release her,
19:58otherwise you'll see
19:58the extent of my powers,
19:59That's something like that, he said.
20:00I think that he is
20:01extremely arrogant
20:02as a speech.
20:03And then, indeed,
20:04towards the end,
20:05we have a character
20:06much more developed.
20:07When he goes to fight his father,
20:09we're trying something
20:09much better
20:10I think so.
20:11But regarding the introduction,
20:12as a result,
20:12I find that it is written
20:13differently from what it will be
20:15following the film.
20:16Yes, indeed.
20:17To get back to the Ewoks,
20:18Yeah, that's the problem.
20:19that's because, in fact,
20:20they are used
20:21to bring down...
20:22Finally, we have the Empire
20:24which is a species
20:25instrument of tyranny
20:27which makes one tremble
20:28the entire galaxy
20:28for decades,
20:30And they are defeated.
20:31by a gang of teddy bears
20:32in a forest
20:33with pebbles.
20:33Well, that's kind of the problem,
20:35I think so.
20:35I think the ultimate goal
20:36of history
20:38should have been
20:39much more impactful
20:40and really should have
20:42confront
20:43the different races
20:45of the entire galaxy
20:46against the Stormtroopers.
20:47As a result,
20:47That would have made more sense.
20:48And that's about it
20:48which is exactly what we have
20:49in space,
20:50with, in this instance,
20:51a final scene
20:51which is fabulous
20:52for the time,
20:53with ships everywhere,
20:55with an art direction
20:58which is magnificent.
20:59The action is very easy to follow.
21:01The space battle
21:02in episode 6,
21:04She's still incredible today.
21:05She hasn't aged at all.
21:06and it's a truly pure moment
21:07For pleasure, that is.
21:09Yes, literally.
21:09I will also speak
21:10series and spin-offs.
21:11That's why I say
21:12that the live stream is going to be very long.
21:13as a result,
21:14I don't know
21:14how long
21:14This is going to last.
21:15but here,
21:15I have everything right in front of me.
21:16I've written everything down.
21:17It's been three days
21:18that I wrote the thing.
21:18We're going to talk about everything.
21:20Apart from what I haven't seen,
21:20but I will mention
21:21what I didn't see
21:21so that you,
21:22could you give me
21:23your opinion
21:24about what I haven't seen.
21:25What I didn't see,
21:26It's like two or three series,
21:27That's all.
21:27We're going to talk about pretty much everything
21:29and I remain more or less,
21:31I'm even staying completely,
21:31No, I'm staying more or less
21:32in chronological order
21:34outings
21:34so that there is still
21:35a certain consistency
21:36compared to what has become
21:37the saga,
21:37because the idea,
21:38it is also about concluding
21:39saying
21:39What became of the saga?
21:40So,
21:41the bow of Ark Vader,
21:41For example,
21:42the conclusion on the Ark Vader arc,
21:44She is fabulous
21:44in episode 6.
21:45I think that, in this instance,
21:46there is a real nuance
21:46in the writing of Darth Vader
21:47in episode 6.
21:48It is much softer
21:49in certain gestures,
21:50in the way he will speak
21:51to his son
21:52when he told her
21:52It's too late for me.
21:54We can hear his voice
21:54much calmer
21:55one gets the sense that, in fact,
21:56He wants to stop all of this.
21:58but he cannot
21:58because in fact,
21:59He went way too far.
22:00The way he will
22:02to save his son,
22:03even if obviously
22:03in the special editions,
22:05they will add this
22:06That's stupid, isn't it?
22:08but there are all these things
22:09when he takes off his mask,
22:11that he finally sees him,
22:12that we finally see his face.
22:13The character is humanized
22:15before he dies,
22:15So really,
22:16we make it clear
22:17that there is true redemption
22:18about the character.
22:19So, in this case,
22:19Darth Vader,
22:20Darth Vader's bow
22:21is beautifully concluded
22:22in episode 6
22:22And that's why.
22:23that he is still as
22:24just as striking today
22:26even in current productions
22:28Star Wars,
22:28it is always highlighted
22:29in a beautiful way
22:30because he's a character
22:31so hard to miss
22:32In the end,
22:33he just needs to be there
22:33and it is self-sufficient.
22:35So there you have it.
22:36Indeed, episode 6
22:37which concludes
22:38the first Star Wars trilogy
22:40who is still
22:42virtually flawless
22:43Today,
22:43Frankly,
22:44she has aged
22:46in many aspects
22:47But in the end,
22:47she looks at herself
22:48with such nostalgia
22:49and such pleasure
22:50that if you like Star Wars,
22:53we inevitably like it
22:54the trilogy
22:54and that it still allows
22:57today to people
22:57to discover Star Wars
22:58in the best possible way.
22:59It was recently remastered
23:01And it's magnificent.
23:02in 4 cases.
23:03Star Wars Episode 6
23:04which concludes perfectly
23:05the first trilogy
23:06and there,
23:07we are sure...
23:08It's 1983.
23:10I believe,
23:11and Star Wars
23:12is at its peak
23:13in terms of success.
23:14The three films
23:15were a box office hit
23:16It's Star Wars mania.
23:17They're everywhere.
23:18in cereal boxes,
23:19in advertisements,
23:20toys,
23:21the things,
23:21Anything you want.
23:22Star Wars,
23:23It's everywhere.
23:23But it's still okay.
23:24to stop there,
23:25there will be
23:25a few things though
23:26between episode 6
23:27and episode 1
23:28but overall,
23:29That's where it ends.
23:30Yes, indeed.
23:30Effectively,
23:30one word,
23:31the 4K remaster,
23:32I think it's fabulous
23:33of the Star Wars trilogy
23:34And thankfully it exists.
23:35we must preserve
23:36this kind of work
23:37with remasters like that
23:39because that's what allows
23:40precisely to introduce
23:41works for future generations
23:42And for once,
23:43the remaster,
23:43I don't think we're losing
23:45in grains,
23:45We don't lose any color.
23:47It's much better reworked.
23:48So obviously,
23:49In fact,
23:49what really ages the film,
23:51These are the special editions
23:52But we'll get there.
23:53in a few minutes
23:54to special editions.
23:56What comes after that?
23:57After that,
23:57There's the Holiday Special.
23:59Feel free to tell me
24:01if you have the reference
24:02from Holiday Special.
24:04So, Holiday Special,
24:05I'm going to tell you anyway,
24:06It's out.
24:07Finally, it's being broadcast!
24:08in 78
24:09so between episode 4
24:11and episode 5
24:12so between the first
24:13Star Wars and the second
24:15and it's a TV movie
24:16which airs on CBS
24:17And indeed,
24:18That's it.
24:18this is the movie
24:19which is broadcast
24:20on television
24:21during the Christmas period.
24:23It's a thing
24:24which is still being done
24:24today in the United States
24:25For example
24:25on Disney Plus
24:26two years ago
24:27The Holiday Special has been released
24:28Gargians of the Galaxy
24:30so it's a kind
24:32medium-length film
24:32which lasts 45 minutes
24:33where we will follow
24:34the Guardians of the Galaxy
24:35in a Christmas adventure.
24:36The thing isn't bad.
24:37but in fact,
24:38that is to say that
24:38It still exists today
24:39to retrieve characters
24:41successful franchise
24:42and to make an episode out of it
24:43Christmas special.
24:44Except that this thing,
24:47Effectively,
24:48this Star Wars Holiday Special,
24:50we're onto something
24:51which is still
24:52Visually quite crazy
24:53in many aspects
24:54which is extremely creepy
24:56but I'm not going to
24:57spread myself out on it
24:58because we will
25:00watch it together
25:04Sunday, December 14th.
25:06There will be a special live stream
25:07on this Twitch channel
25:08where we're going to look together
25:10the Holiday Special
25:12of Star Wars
25:12and we will react together
25:13to what this thing is
25:15like that,
25:15If you've never seen it,
25:16we'll be able to discover it together
25:17And if you've already seen it,
25:18we'll be able to comment on it together
25:20because I think
25:20that it's something to see
25:21or even to be reviewed.
25:23It's the holiday season
25:24So it's perfect.
25:25So,
25:26Effectively,
25:27December 14th,
25:28Head over to this Twitch channel
25:30so that we can watch it together
25:31the Holiday Special
25:32So I'm going to try
25:32to find a subtitled version
25:34and at worst,
25:34I will subtitle it myself.
25:36And indeed,
25:37in words,
25:37I think we're going to have a lot of fun.
25:38But there you have it.
25:39At first,
25:40I really wanted us to talk about it
25:40and I thought
25:41but in fact,
25:41We need to look at it together.
25:42So I didn't put it on today.
25:43because otherwise,
25:43The live stream would have been endless.
25:45because the thing lasts like...
25:46I don't know how long
25:47This thing lasts.
25:48I think it lasts 1 hour and 20 minutes.
25:501 hour 10 minutes,
25:501 hour 20 minutes
25:51So it's perfect for a live performance
25:52In fact,
25:52We can watch it together.
25:53We can interact,
25:54pause
25:54but there are times
25:56all...
25:56Actually,
25:57There are so many anecdotes
25:58about that thing.
25:59There's Carrie Fisher
26:00who is under the influence of a substance
26:02there is a story
26:03with Ewoks
26:04which is ultra-glock,
26:05Well, not with Ewoks, sorry.
26:06with Wookiee
26:06which is ultra-glock,
26:07There are also the Ewoks,
26:08Harrison Ford
26:09who doesn't know what he's doing there
26:11And indeed,
26:12There's George Lucas
26:12who tried
26:13to completely remove
26:15this film
26:16but he did not succeed
26:17because the internet,
26:18Thank you, internet, for existing.
26:19But indeed,
26:20It's a total disaster
26:21So, as a result,
26:22we're going to watch this
26:23in 3 weeks
26:24on this Twitch channel
26:25and I think it's going to be
26:26Very funny.
26:27This will be my little Christmas live stream.
26:28That makes me happy.
26:29And so,
26:30After that,
26:31Listen,
26:31Let's talk about special editions
26:33of Star Wars
26:34because of that,
26:34It's really a controversial topic.
26:35For once.
26:36Special editions
26:37of Star Wars.
26:38SO,
26:39wait,
26:39because of that,
26:39I'm going to pass it
26:40below the cat.
26:42Tac.
26:43SO,
26:43Listen,
26:44you see for yourself
26:45the special edition,
26:47the idea in fact
26:47special editions
26:48It's because it's out.
26:49I believe,
26:49the first special editions
26:51were released in 1996,
26:53I believe.
26:54Wait,
26:54I'll check that.
26:55because I,
26:55I noted 2011
26:56but there was
26:56new modifications
26:57in 2011
26:58for the Blu-ray release
26:59but the first special editions
27:01were released in 1996
27:04for the exit, precisely
27:05of the prequel trilogy
27:06and for the exit
27:07DVD movies
27:08and it's going to be
27:09that will bring
27:11a lot,
27:12much indignation
27:14among the fans.
27:15The three films
27:16of the first trilogy
27:16are going to be really
27:19retouched.
27:19So, there,
27:19there are some images
27:20that I can show you.
27:21Effectively,
27:21These are the DVD versions.
27:22There are a few images
27:23that I show you
27:24to show you the difference.
27:25Actually,
27:25These are visual effects.
27:27and digital effects
27:28which have been added
27:29to the film
27:30and the concern,
27:31That's not it yet.
27:31because, well,
27:32In some respects,
27:33Frankly,
27:34Me,
27:34I think that's relevant
27:35of having brought
27:36modifications
27:37even though it's debatable
27:38on the act of modifying
27:40a film that has already been released.
27:41I mean,
27:42a painter,
27:42when his painting is hung
27:44in a museum
27:45or in an art gallery,
27:46He did not return six months later.
27:47to add blue
27:48and red.
27:48It doesn't work
27:49Like that, normally.
27:50The film is finished.
27:50The film is finished.
27:51We must take responsibility.
27:51the way it is.
27:52It was made with its time in mind.
27:53That's how it is.
27:54it's done.
27:55No problem.
27:56But there is still
27:56interesting things
27:57since we are going to have,
27:59For example,
28:00thick eyebrows
28:01of Darth Vader
28:02in episode 6
28:03which have been removed,
28:04For example.
28:04So that,
28:05That's not bad at all.
28:07Good,
28:07It's a small detail
28:08But it's rather interesting.
28:10That takes away a little bit
28:11From cringe to thing.
28:12We have Palpatine,
28:15as a result,
28:15which is updated
28:16compared to its design
28:17in the prequel trilogy.
28:19So, same here.
28:19It adds continuity.
28:20We also have
28:21Aiden Christensen
28:22who will appear
28:23at the end of episode 6
28:24in the sort of final celebration
28:26of the rebellion.
28:28So all of that,
28:29Yes,
28:29the old design,
28:30He's scary.
28:30It looks like a frog
28:31A bit strange.
28:32So indeed,
28:32we can say
28:33that there are many aspects
28:35That's interesting.
28:35the special edition
28:36because it leads
28:37modifications.
28:38In many other respects,
28:39It's horrible
28:40because it has aged very badly
28:41because they are digital effects
28:42which date from the middle
28:43from the 90s.
28:44So it's neither done nor to be done.
28:46But again,
28:47the problem
28:48special editions
28:50In my opinion,
28:50It's because it's extremely anachronistic.
28:51In the sense that, for example,
28:52it's like you're taking
28:53the 1954 Godzilla
28:55and that you replaced
28:56the puppet
28:57by the 2015 Godzilla.
28:58So yes,
28:59that would create special effects
29:00Even better,
29:01that would make the film
29:02Much more modern.
29:03But in fact,
29:04we would lose completely
29:05the appearance and the sap
29:06of what Godzilla is.
29:07Actually,
29:08Godzilla in '54,
29:09It's a puppet.
29:10It was hand-animated.
29:11and that's what the film is.
29:12at that time.
29:13That's it.
29:14And we can't
29:14to do something else with it,
29:15That's what the film is about.
29:16Star Wars,
29:17when it came out in '77,
29:19in 1980 and 1983,
29:21that's what it's supposed to be
29:23the film released in theaters.
29:25It has been modified there.
29:26And the second concern,
29:28That's an anachronism.
29:29But the second problem,
29:30exactly,
29:31that's just the basic editions,
29:33the original editions
29:34are no longer available.
29:35It's practically impossible
29:37to find.
29:38If there is a DVD,
29:39Furthermore, I think I have it.
29:40There's a DVD out
29:41a long time ago
29:42where in the bonuses,
29:43you have the right
29:43to the original edition
29:45but cropped to 480p.
29:48Finally, it's visually horrifying.
29:49There isn't any at all
29:50work on retouching,
29:53All of that.
29:53But in this case,
29:55That's the problem, actually.
29:56That's because,
29:56the problem,
29:57It's not about having retouched the films,
29:58even though it's a debate.
29:59In my opinion,
29:59I think that,
30:01In my opinion,
30:01That's not a good idea.
30:02to retouch a film
30:02once it is finished.
30:03It's like Coppola
30:04with Apocalypse Now
30:05who pretended
30:053000 versions of the edit.
30:07Finally, there it is.
30:07Yes, indeed.
30:07There are versions,
30:08yes, no
30:08Of course,
30:09There are VHS versions.
30:10Yes,
30:10obviously,
30:11But anyway,
30:11the VHS versions,
30:12it is still necessary
30:12want to read them
30:14and to look at them
30:14as they are.
30:15What I would have liked,
30:17that is, there is
30:174K retouching,
30:19In fact,
30:19at least Blu-ray HD
30:21original editions
30:22films
30:22and that in fact,
30:23when you buy the Blu-ray,
30:24You have a choice
30:25between the original version
30:26and the special version,
30:27Quite simply.
30:28Like that,
30:28People have a choice.
30:30But Georges Lucas
30:30didn't see it that way.
30:31George Lucas said
30:32That's my thing.
30:32It's mine.
30:33I can do what I want with it.
30:34except that in fact,
30:34he broke the rules a bit
30:35of what is supposed to be
30:36cinema by doing that.
30:38And that,
30:38I can understand.
30:39In this instance,
30:39the controversy
30:40behind the special editions
30:41because,
30:43Today,
30:43we have movies
30:44which are a bit strange
30:45in quite a few things.
30:46We're not even talking
30:47Han, who fires first,
30:48who finally stops firing
30:49first
30:50in a kind of effect
30:51ultra psychedelic
30:52where we see it
30:52a quarter of a thousandth of a second
30:54to dodge the shot
30:56in a very, very poor way.
30:58Finally,
31:01It kind of pisses me off.
31:02still tell me
31:02that the films I have
31:03these are not the films
31:04who have come out.
31:05I manage to get past it
31:06because,
31:06globally,
31:07It's just small moments.
31:09But despite everything,
31:10there are also moments
31:10which are still better made
31:12such as
31:12the characters
31:13which are retouched,
31:13etc.
31:14Yeah,
31:15as a result,
31:16Yes,
31:16Effectively,
31:17Han shot first.
31:17We're not going to debate this.
31:19on the Han shot first
31:20because otherwise,
31:20It will last 10,000 years.
31:22Yeah,
31:23there,
31:23in addition,
31:25with this kind of controversy
31:27on Han
31:27who shoots first
31:28we're going to completely change
31:31the character's appearance,
31:32what he is,
31:33and change history
31:34in itself in the end
31:34because it tells the story
31:35something completely different
31:36about the character.
31:37We're going from a guy
31:38precisely without faith or law
31:39who will kill his opponents
31:40to a guy, actually
31:41who is actually defending himself.
31:42SO,
31:42we don't have any left at all
31:43the same character.
31:43It is no longer perceived
31:44in the same way
31:45afterwards.
31:45SO,
31:46Effectively,
31:46In my opinion,
31:47the special edition,
31:47It wasn't necessarily the right thing to do.
31:50NOW,
31:51We,
31:51We have no say in the matter.
31:52Actually,
31:53as a spectator,
31:54we have no say in the matter
31:55on this kind of thing,
31:55I think so.
31:56it can be dangerous
31:57to put on the pressure
32:00to the creators of works
32:01to tell them
32:02No,
32:02Do it like this.
32:02That's pretty much what happened
32:03with Sonic,
32:04For example,
32:04with the Sonic movie
32:05where the design of Sonic
32:06has been completely changed
32:07because the fans
32:08They complained on the internet.
32:10SO,
32:10obviously that today,
32:12Sonic's design
32:13is much better
32:13that what he was
32:14on the original trailer.
32:15But despite everything,
32:17it remains an artistic approach
32:18which has been validated
32:19by artists.
32:20And so,
32:21the act of modifying it,
32:22we have a movie
32:22which is no longer really
32:23an artist's vision,
32:25even if it remains
32:26a Sonic studio film
32:27So we don't really care.
32:28But despite everything,
32:29there is this approach
32:29to say
32:30Sonic,
32:31he should have been
32:31what it was originally
32:32because it should have been validated
32:33and people
32:34are not supposed to
32:35to have their say
32:36and are not supposed to
32:37to have weight
32:38on the modification
32:39of a work
32:39whatever it may be.
32:40Because in those cases,
32:41You call a musical artist,
32:42you say
32:43"Ah, I don't like your lyrics."
32:44everyone says the same thing
32:44and the guy,
32:45He changes his words.
32:46an album is being released
32:47and that's no longer the case at all
32:48the same album.
32:49SO,
32:49we can do that
32:55special editions.
32:56Where it gets less cool,
32:57In fact,
32:57it's about having eliminated
32:58completely the original editions
33:00which were nevertheless seen
33:01by many
33:01lots of people
33:02because it has been
33:02an astounding success
33:03and to say
33:04"If you want to see
33:05the original versions,
33:05Figure it out yourself
33:06even if it exists
33:07somewhat pirated films,
33:09original versions
33:09who are on the Internet
33:10download
33:11which have been remastered
33:13by fans
33:13All of that.
33:14SO,
33:14They can be found
33:15obviously,
33:15but in fact,
33:15it's a shame
33:16not being able to find them
33:16legally in trade.
33:18That's kind of the problem
33:19special editions.
33:20Actually,
33:20It has such an aura,
33:21Star Wars,
33:21Finally,
33:21It had such an aura,
33:22We'll come back to that too.
33:24but it had such an aura
33:25at the time
33:25that indeed,
33:26He could have done everything
33:27and anything,
33:28but here,
33:29In this instance,
33:30we are touching on an aspect
33:31enough,
33:32how to put it,
33:33controversial question of what art is
33:34and what can be done
33:35with a medium
33:36like cinema.
33:37And for me,
33:38even if it is his work,
33:39In my opinion,
33:39he was not allowed
33:41to be completely removed
33:42a film
33:43to replace it
33:43by another.
33:44Because in those cases,
33:45In fact,
33:45You can do this every year.
33:46and in the end,
33:46You end up with a movie.
33:47As a result,
33:48When did he come out?
33:48Star Wars?
33:49What is the release year?
33:50from episode 4,
33:52A new hope?
33:52Since not only
33:53He changed his title.
33:54we went from Star Wars
33:55to Star Wars episode 4,
33:56A new hope,
33:58the design has completely changed
33:59in many ways,
34:00there are digital effects
34:01which date back to the 90s
34:02while the film was released in '77.
34:04SO,
34:04When was it released?
34:05The first Star Wars film?
34:07We can't even say that.
34:08because today,
34:09the film,
34:10It ultimately spans 30 years.
34:12in terms of modifications
34:13and between the change of title,
34:16the change in special effects
34:17and anything else you want.
34:18The film is completely anachronistic.
34:20There is no longer a release date.
34:22It's a mess.
34:23As a result,
34:24Yes,
34:24That's it, actually.
34:25Effectively,
34:25Hamo,
34:25they can submit it
34:26at the Oscars every year,
34:27Effectively.
34:28Yes,
34:28You modify it that year.
34:29in 2025,
34:30He comes out suddenly,
34:31Is that your name?
34:32Star Wars 2025 Edition
34:34And then he left again.
34:35This is a rather delicate debate.
34:37It's a bit complicated.
