This documentary and its predecessor, How to Watch Star Wars, Part One, has to be one of the best documentaries I have ever seen.
Check out Part Two of How to Watch Star Wars, Part Two: The Special Editions Are the Movies, Get Over It
9 May 2022
When I said Part Two was “coming soon,” I didn’t think that would mean three years, but better late than never right?
Hopefully it’s worth the wait for the people who have been asking for this. I think it’s the most comprehensive video that’s been made about the changes to the different versions of the Star Wars movies, and also a discussion about how and why the changes exist and why some of them are controversial, and a discussion about film preservation in general and why art changes over time. It’s divided into three parts so you can watch it episodically if you want, but I didn’t want to post it as three separate videos because it’s all interrelated.
Thanks for watching, and check back soon (sooner than three years) for Part Three!
