Obi-Wan Remembers The Truth 

+Shahan Reviews It was awesome.

+Shahan Reviews Very well cut, congrats on all the success.

+Shahan Reviews thanks for this shahan and may the force be with you

solid work bro

+Shahan Reviews The video was great. But I didn't like how you edited Obi Wan's lines so that they were in a slightly different order. You could have achieved the same effect by having them in their original order. Other than that, it was great

My apologies.

+VickytheCultLeader Go vegan you horrible pieces of shit, I can't wait to go into my Gorilla form and rip all you meat eaters open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha

forge dat signature

+nfinitiduck To be honest, at this point they had no idea what the story was. They didn't even plan for Vader and Anakin to be the same character.

+Ryan Denziloe Are you fucking stupid? The entire point of the original trilogy was to reveal Luke's father as the bad guy

+Kane Carter before it was a trilogy it was one film, you know...

+Yaos yes, called "episode 4". Shut the fuck up, look this up you idiot

Kane Carter Are you actually stupid or are you just pretending to be?

while that the "i hate you" audio wasn't put into this video makes it so people like me don't realise that it was that clip that was used knowing it was now, it makes it all the more chilling to see the silent scream of Anakin when i know what he's yelling at Obi-Wan

@@sootmancer9851 honestly it's so much better without sound

Trevor Philips It’s the haunting back track with Guinness’s longing stare that make this special. Honestly, watching that Clone Wars show on Disney + and it’s pissing me off how much more quality a cartoon show is. Reminded me of this. Always worth the Re watch

They were brothers

It can't hurt as much as having to watch Hayden Christensen's performance in that film. XD

It's even crazier because he definitely didn't know Vader's past. Vader and Anakin were 2 different people at this point. It wasn't until the next movie that Lucas decided he should be the father, which may be the greatest movie decision of all time.

Brilliant fucking actor. Even for a "cheap scifi flick" without much possibility of success he gave it his best.

George Lucas may have asked him to pause a few times & then edited for effect. Gave him options in later films.

Well it makes sense. War memories are tough. Being a talented actor, he knew to pause for a moment to reflect on the trauma. When Lucas made the twist, Obi Wants already strong acting helped sell it

Thank you Chris for the kind words!

Same. Was just showing this video to some new star wars fans. Now im rewatching it over and over. Cuz of the feels.

100% this

My sentiments exactly. Simple yet poignant. Great job to OP!

Always loved the simplicity, the others kind of overdo it

word...

Best. Comment. Ever.

hahaha

hahahahaha great comment.

Check out my videos ppl...plz

I'm shocked this wasn't part of them twenty special editions they added

George Lucas only decided in the middle of filming Empire that Darth Vader was going to be Luke's father... They did not know during A New Hope. This is why Obi-Wan calls Vader, "Darth" in their light saber fight on the death star. Alec Guinness did not know that Vader was Luke's father, or that he actually cut his limbs off, or any of that.

Ana Person He and Ewan McGregor made Obi Wan arguably the best character in the series.

There's a reason why Alec Guinness is the ONLY actor in all seven Star Wars movies to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Even though the prequel backstories were non-existent, he gave Obi-Wan a multi-layered character who clearly had a lot of history and wisdom as well as pain and sorrow just with his expressions. That's why with or without the prequels, you can still draw interpretations as to what Obi-Wan's gazes into the distance can mean. Brilliant actor.

And to the shit he was given as a script.

Before he became dark vader

+Sosotur_Sos Did you just say Dark fucking Vader!?

+Sosotur_Sos A terrible thing about the French dub is that Darth Vader was renamed Dark Vador. They turned space Dutch into space English for French audiences, WTF?

+Albino Spaz "He also used to sulk and whine about me like I was his fucking stepdad, he was a good friend"'

+Kado Dragon Dark Vodar is the best

+Jack Hartnett Thank you so much!

+Shahan Reviews Yea dude. This is top notch.

+Shahan Reviews you could easily edit out the music of the "you were my brother anakin. I loved you" though the upload is still great

+Jack Hartnett I saw your comment on dorkly

+Arokingzaz ert

Op high ground

@@TexasViking_INFP-t_5w4 plz nerf

He was my brother too. We all loved him back during The Clone Wars. We admired him. We enjoyed and cherished the adventures we shared with him. We miss him. I miss him...

*screams in pain*

Yet also how nostalgic he is over the great person Anakin once was.

It really is awesome. Obviously, Guinness had no idea of any of the backstory, but he could sense so many things that Obi-Wan would have been going through. Guinness was a wonderful actor.

What the fuck is going on here..... George Lucas only decided in the middle of filming Empire that Darth Vader was going to be Luke's father... They did not know during A New Hope. This is why Obi-Wan calls Vader, "Darth" in their light saber fight on the death star.

Alec Guinness did not know that Vader was Luke's father, or that he actually cut his limbs off, or any of that.

Alec Guiness' acting is so good, it transcended time so it would still work after the retcon.

+Scott Higginbotham I laughed at the original comment. then I laughed at yours. Now I'm laughing because they're so wrong.

I love you

I love how deep star wars is. dare I say I like the prequels. it's shows how the jedi turned into peace keepers then to military rebels. plus the dart sidious is the greatest strategist in the universe.

Zed Said d

They didn't have everything planned out then. This is all subtext and shows you how powerful editing can be.

@@Cavers George Lucas may not have, but Alec Guinness made it seem, even from the standpoint of 1977, that something was up with the death of Luke's father, that he didn't want Luke to know.

Crazy character man..

Agreed.

Given Sir Alec's acting choices you do have to wonder if Lucas had told him that what he was saying was actually a lie, a truth from "a certain point of view". I guess even if Lucas hadn't, Alec was such a good actor that he would have known relating the death of someone the character counted as a "good friend" would be painful.

Nope. It's a fact the whole "Vader is Luke's father" thing didn't come about until the second movie. Episode 4 was written to be as standalone as possible, in case it failed in the box office. At the same time Episode 5 was being written Lucas also drew up the script for a very low budget sequel that would wrap up the few loose ends, just in case.

No its just manipulative editing and slowing down of footage and playing sad music to tug on those precious precious heart strings.

Evnyofdeath - I remember watching a documentary on Lucas and he was recounting that he was in Hawaii (as he does at the release of his movies) when someone called him and said, "People are going nuts over your little space movie!". XD

Indeed my friend I'm astonished at how I wasn't able to deduce this when I first saw a New Hope.

+Shahan Reviews legit the vid made me tear up

+Shahan Reviews GREAT job! Makes Obi-Wan seem more justified for his dishonesty.

+Shahan Reviews You should reedit all of the movies to have this kind of emotional weight. Try and get it back to us by next Thursday. Thanks!

So happy it moved you!

+Shahan Reviews Very powerful!

+Slockry sounds like a bff to me

+Slockry Actually he was saying 'I hate you.'

+legofan370 Didn't look like it.

I have seen this quite a few times, plus I remember from the movie that he says I hate you.

It does.

Thanks Raul. That means a lot to me. Glad you enjoy it!

Too bad he hated it.

FrootLewpz Actually he didn't "hate it" but the disliked the fact that he was known more from Star Wars than from his previous films.

He did hate it and with good reason ... its pablum.

People think he hated it and demanded that was character be killed off. It's wrong, George Lucas said in an interview that Alec wanted his character to live, but Lucas decided to kill the character because he served no purpose after they arrived at the rebel base.

after many interviews with alec he pretty much said he didnt give a shit about the movie lol

+Mathew Evans That means so much to me Matthew, thank you.

+Shahan Reviews I keep coming back to this video, week after week!

+Eobard Thane SAAME lol, its in my watch again list

Bro I'm 54 and I remember when I saw Star Wars for the first time. This made me really sad.

201st like on this comment. Sorry...

+The Great Ammuraf Yes but I'm sure there is enough Star Wars themes that could have been used instead

+JarJar Abrams why? Its over done, this was perfect.

+JarJar Abrams I literally cannot think of a single Star Wars theme that can portray the emotion as well as this...

+The Great Ammuraf music was from the leftovers right?

+okrajoe The Disney Oppression rises to fuel the ever growing cash cow.

Before the empire...

+okrajoe before jar jar and the young annoying anakin skywalker

What wasn't planned?

BuilderBoy the original twist for empire strikes back was that Obi Wan killed Luke's father.

Just BØNY Had he trained anakin skywalker better, and had he not left him to burn and be retreated by palpatine, Anakin Skywalker would’ve never become Dark Vador (thus « dying »). So in a sense, Obi Wan did kill Luke’s father... from a certain point of view.

@@justbny9278 which is kinda true

This guy^^^^ MVP

Agreed 100%

MattTree1 yeah no.

Kenneth Eaton Yeah, no. "Cheapen" does not define the injustice of the prequels

I think they could've been better, and are the inferior to the originals, but they certainly didn't take away from the franchise in my opinion

+Jacob Kitts Thank you.

+Shahan Reviews no thank you. Amazing work man

+Pablo Sanchez fuck you lui hater

+Luis Del Cid you forgot the caliber

Hey, I know you!

I used to think te prequels were funny...now revenge of the sith seems nothing but sad

+Nikolai For better or for worse, it was a genuine tragedy. None of the horrors in episodes 4-6 would've happened if Anakin had made the right choices.

Jon Ericson That is the best part of this amazing video.

Jon Ericson "That moment at :3" hahaha

He was a fucking brilliant actor.

Thank you Derek!

ikr

+iMiguelAOG Yeah, not a fan of the prequels but Ewan McGregor was great as Obi-Wan, especially in 3.

Uncle Fester I actually enjoyed the prequels, and yes he was, I also thought Qui Gonn was great

+Adz Hus It's music from the HBO show The Leftovers. It's an amazing show and the music really helps heighten the emotions.

+Adz Hus Thank you so much, I'm glad it resonated with you.

+AndrewSun15 Thank you Andrew.

AndrewSun15 sweet and short. By far the most powerful one. I don't need to see a recap of order 66. The music and editing is perfect. It's just continues to solidify my love of star wars. Just beautiful

+wildcardsniper Kevin Murphy is the best

"I HATE YOU!!!" - anakin skywalker

+Eddy BEANIE Rey MY FAV SW MOVIE

+White Knight No he's actually a good actor, if you watched the other movies you can tell Jedis are supposed to sound mono tone, and some what emotionless. Well mostly Lucas's fault.

+Deano0k Ewan mcgregor did a great job anyway

It’s a great choice to avoid using audio in the cutaways except for the final one, which permeates into his current present.

Thank you! It's one of the videos I'm most proud of making. Seeing people enjoy it always makes me grateful. You have no idea how much it means to me, seriously.

I agree

+The Toria Show Thank you.

+Shahan Reviews Holy cow that was nicely done! Keep doing more!

Thanks baby

I was waiting for someone to make this joke, was not disappointed

+Alfie Griffiths Yeah, they make Goldfish! :D

I think I probably watch this once a month. It is STILL a gut punch. That fucking end. oiy.

Thanks for the comment Cheezilla. Means a lot to me!

I just went seeking this video to do just that.

Not me, I just had a bit of... space dust in the eyes... that's nothing, really.

Redcrosse Knight get it space.

+Victor Soto They uh didn't. They were almost devoid of emotion. Its Old Man Alec's superb acting lending the emotional weight.

Thats what i'm saying lol, this scene really gave the prequels the emotions they needed

+Rannos22 they did

Thanks!

@HARPER DODD Proof of how great of an actor he was...

Thank you!

Thank you!

***** yea

Truuuuu

Wow you do know that Obi Wan was the the one thing pretty much everyone agreed on being good in the prequels, like literally the only thing

Zack Sisson ikr

Thanks Nomad. :)

IEA10 "he was a good friend" *shows scene of him yelling I HATE YOU* FUCK THIS IS A GOOD EDIT

Thanks Luis!

Well said!

It was an empire based on the credo of the Sith; Power and dominance at any cost.

+Stephen Ward Oh, but it was.

+Stephen Ward Jar-Jar is my all time favorite character.

+Stephen Ward You should watch the Topher cut. All three prequel movies edited into one. No Jar-Jar, no trade dispute. Just the story of two Jedis losing their friendship as the Galactic republic crumbles all around them.

+Ex0dus111 I don't think thats available.

Ex0dus111 Ill have a look around, literally would make 1st epp so much better...

+Curt Baboon Editing is magic. Unfortunately Lucas can't direct or edit.

+RedShoulderReviews Yeah, he did such an awful job directing A New Hope... oh wait... (but I get what you're saying).

The prequels weren't really that bad

+itai alter George Lucas actually didn't get %100 of a say when it came to the original trilogy. Sure, he was the director, but most of his decisions were convinced to be differently from others.

+SquirtleTime They were. They were terrible. Bad dialogue, characters, tone, bad effects, introduced dozens of plotholes.

Mads Jensen young obi wan the second best actor

Vince Frings That's right man

I love how Ewan made his Obi-Wan really close to Alec Guiness one, but also he added some new flavors.

IKR

+. dkr

Same I keep watching it even tho it hits my feels hard

+Micaiah Flores Checkout "The Walking Dead" and "Eastside" videos by SLIMSKYVIEW on RU-vid

Obi Saw some shit...I used to think the scene was an old man spacing out but it's more relative to the thousand yard stare that soldiers get

+Mason Kyler I was expecting Obi Wan to say Darth Vader killed him and then cutting to a scene where just dismembers Anakin

Mason Kyler Where's John Cena in this?

On Mustafar nowhere else

Bob Jenkins bullshit!

Scoopa No Ewan did great I was talking about Hayden. He only did well on Mustafar

Bob Jenkins So, why do you think so?

Scoopa It may have been some of his lines as well, but Anakin is a very emotional character, and the way he portrayed his emotions (up until the very end of ROTS) wasn't very genuine. When angry he just put on a sort of mad face and kept this same whiny tone it wasn't really convincing. Then when flirting with Padme the way he talked and presented himself was just creepy. In film there are very few times when Anakin seems laid back or relaxed. I know that Anakin is supposed to be a serious character but when showing happiness, excitement, or humor he has this sort of tenseness to him that makes the emotion less genuine. Though I am not a huge fan of his acting don't get me wrong I did love the prequels as they are what I grew up with.

Thanks for the kind words. You have no idea how much it means to me to hear people say that.

+Blackcrame I definitely will try!

YOU WILL TRY.

Do or do not. There is no try.

+BrickNGames lol

Shahan Reviews Do a lotr version of this or even a batman one :)

More props to the fan-edit!

+Gasssolo You might be forgetting how awful 90% of the dialogue was between Obi-Wan and Anakin in episode III. This video takes strong imagery and meshes it with a strong performance by Sir Alec Guinness, but without the selective editing we'd be hearing stuff like "I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND" and "FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE JEDI ARE EVIL". The prequels have some real gems, but you have to sift through at least 70% garbage to find the high points. Episode VII is mostly high points. There's nothing wrong with a reboot film, but VII takes it further by making it a continuation rather than a hard reboot.

Yup

If you read the art book of the Force Awakens, they were going to do something different but decided to play it safe in the first one because fans like you would say that didn't feel like Star wars, no matter what the plot end up being Trolls were going to nitpick the movie, Lucas did great things in the Prequels but they still bad Movies overall

+Say What Again i Dare you i Double Dare you! SPOILER ALERT I didn't like the force awakens not because of Hans death but they blew up corusent or how ever you spell it and kylo Ren's actor

Super HardCore Pariot​ That wasn't even that planet kid LOL, and Kylo Ren was Awesome... I love the movie

I loved you!

*Burning* I HATE YOU!

You were the chosen one!

It was said you would destroy the Sith, not join them!

You were my brother Anakin. I loved you.

+Ryan Black To pick up your spirits? People need to watch that show.

+Leigh Hewitt Agreed, but I wouldn't say it's ideal for lifting spirits. Anytime I hear this track I go looking for Leftover montages

Sorry I was being sarcastic. The Leftovers is equally great and depressing.

+Ryan Black THAT"S WHERE ITS FROM!!!!!!!!!!! THX

+Ryan Black season 2 was so perfectly made, I HOPE they don't screw up season 3. its perfect as is.

+Merchant Ivory (filmstudent) Perhaps over the years he grew to better appreciate how good of a pilot Anakin really was. Wisdom tends to come with age ya know.

Obi Wan was worried in those situations. But by this point, he realizes that Anakin wasn’t a reckless pilot, he was a great pilot that knew what he was doing.

And he was a good friend

+Orenar and a cunning warrior

One of my all time favorite shows.

If they for some reason remake them better writing is a must

yes, the actual story is really good just wasn't done right and if someone was to remake them in a better way i think it would be good

+frank jones I want to forget the prequels ever existed. And now we have episode VII to deal with... Urgh...

Andres Montiago You mean apart the fact that it was made by Jar Jar Abraams and is basically a remake of Episode IV disguised as a sequel?

the prequels are honestly not that bad but people just hate on them

Thanks for the kind words Kithra.

+Perri Jinacio He can't Sold Star Wars to Disney for 4 Billion Dollars. Only a Consultant now. Upset he sold it, complains after the new movie made a billion dollars.

+Dan B People forget that George pioneered massive special effects in the cinema industry. This was of course later evident during the Prequels when he used a lot of CGI, it would be like Alexander Graham Bell discovering that cell phones exist. He geeked out

+Ben Harder Also revolutionized video games with Lucas Arts

+Dan B I understand being irritated with things Lucas has done, but it's gotta be in the same breath as being thankful he created that world in the first place or else it makes no sense. No Lucas, no Star Wars, period. Even the most grandiose Marcia Lucas-Irvin Kershner-Gary Kurtz-are-responsible-for-everything-good-in-Star-Wars can't counter that fundamental point.

k lol

Thanks Spencer.
