limited effects , filming trends , and acting styles may have deepen over the last 40 years , butStar Wars : The Empire Strikes Back(1980 ) remains one of the most darling film sequels — even among young generations ofStar Warsfans — to this day .
The house trailer , on the other hand , seems pretty superannuated , principally due to the voiceover recital that expels lofty phrases like “ an epic of romance , of heroes and villains , ” and “ a galactic odyssey against oppression . ” To see whatThe Empire Strikes Backwould look like with today ’s drone banner , YouTube userAD_editscreated a new one , which relies on dialogue from the photographic film itself to put the stage for the galactic odyssey against subjugation .
As Nerdistpoints out , AD_edits ’s trailer also manages to suggest at important secret plan points without give too much away , like mention that Luke must witness a bully Jedi master without revealing Yoda ’s identity . The original , meanwhile , hold a dyad outright spoilers — it shows , for example , Darth Vadersitting at the head of the table in Cloud City , waiting to ambush Han Solo and Princess Leia . Viewers might not have realize the meaning when they saw the split - second clip in the trailer , but it would probably smash the surprise when they see the existent cinema .
Of naturally , there was always the opening certain parts of the trailer could ’ve ended up on the cutting way base before the movie hit dramaturgy , which has emphatically happened before . The Cloud City scene made the final cut , but some storyline from earlier in the filmmaking unconscious process were n’t so lucky — in fact , most of the first draft forThe Empire Strikes Backwas completely argufy .
