Mr. Plinkett’s Star Wars: A New Hope Commentary Track now available!

I didn’t think I’d have an excuse to watch A New Hope again, now I don’t have any excuse not to.

Man. I’ve missed you, Mr. Pinkett.

I knew what you meant. But then I took an arrow in the knee……….. sorry.

Probably because of the frame rate difference but I’m watching the r2 DVD and it loses sync progressively.

The commentary itself it’s great. Keep up the good work!

wear gloves if you do

You want us to pay for it? You’re as bad as Luca$ Mike, you’ve finally become as bad as the person you criticise. I am dissapoint.

No, why would you give Lucas money?

Awesome! A new Plinkett commentary! And I don’t give a crap wether the commentary track fits my version of A New Hope or not. Plinkett’s commentaries are worth listening without watching the movie they comment on. (Same with Half in the Bag. You guys rock!)

Wait a minute! You don’t have to buy it?

Alrighty, then. Who’s managed to reverse that “sometimes my brain works backwards” part about three quarters of the way in?

Calm down, he was making a joke. It was a minor literary switch-up, don’t make such a fuss.

I love you, Plinkett! You’re the best 😀

That’s kind of the point. He was trying to be a smart alec, while at the same time proving that he himself is an imbecile

Cheers

this one can blow up 2 planets, and jar-jar binks’ family.

I know what you mean. You mean you don’t have the 1977 film known as “Star Wars”, and later retitled “Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope”.

Bought! Many thanks guys.

Is this Commentary of the original, the special edition, another special edition, or blueray a new hope?

Gonna be great.

Mike is trying to make a buck? HE’S WORSE THAN HITLER!

Thanks guys. This was funny!

This one time, at Band Camp, I listened to Mr. Plinkett wailing on and on about a Star Wars movie

There’s a smart Alec in the movie.

Darnit, I just watched A New Hope this friday…now I gotta see it twice in one week.

I actually listened to the whole 2 hours without even watching/syncing it to the the movie.

Mmm, sweet potato pie!

😉

Lots of sync problems but no biggie. Cause there is very little talk about movie itself. Like a scene by scene breakdown. Instead there are lots of gay jokes, ass jokes, racial slurs etc. Basically too much humor, not enough hard data..

I have two versions, the original and one of the updated ones (not sure which year). The caption says this commentary is for the 2004 version, and it doesn’t sync up perfectly with mine (which is newer than the 2004 version but came before the latest blu-ray updates). I first noticed it go out of time right at the start, because in my version Lucas actually shortened that first shot where the star destroyer flies overhead. It also got way out of sync in the X-Wing sequence at the end. I’m not blaming RLM for this of course: it’s Lucas’ fault for releasing so many fucking versions of the film. I had to stop it probably five or six times to get it synchronised again, but it was still fun.

Watching this without accompaniment, totally able to visualize the entire movie without a problem.

So… I’d totally buy this if there were any confirmations of what versions this worked with. The only special edition versions I have are the gold VHS trilogy, and the blu ray. I would pay more than $2 if I knew what versions it actually worked with. Who the fuck bought the 2004 versions!?

I watched the movie and listened to the commentary yesterday. It is great to hear Plinkett’s take on a really good movie. I hope that Plinkett will some day, if he wants to, comment on Empire.

That is what I was thinking while listening to the Phantom Commentary for the first time. In the New Hope Commentary I especially liked all the political and economical stuff. And all of the voice acts, the ones we’ve heard before and some new ones. And the movie insights. And the sound FX. And the majority of the jokes. And the Orwellian names of the Death Star. And more. I need definitely listen to the NH Commentary again!

he’s working on two reviews?! gentlemen … i bet it’s matrix retarded and matrix revomited

Frame-rate or at least region (PAL or NTSC) should be specified, me thinks. Since Plinkett is US citizen I guess NTSC version is the one that I need.

Yes.And you know EVERYTHING.EVERYTHING.

Will they still work after using them as coasters?

Two at the same time? Matrix sequels ohpleaseohplease..
Also this commentary track was good. Used the BluRay edition and experienced no issues.

Did you name this website after redtube . com ? It stays right by its side on the URL list. It can’t be a coincidence!

The 1080 blueray off of piratebay syncs perfectly. 😉

Also, star wars was not meant to be seen in 1080p, it’s too clear and Darth Vader looks very “plastic”.

Great voice-over guys!

Also, this is the first time I’ve seen the edition with the new /deleted scenes. Wow, the city the bar is in it cluttered with flying shit now! Completely unneeded and annoying.

This is quality entertainment right here. I laughed 3-5 times, just as promised. I loved the sex quotes. Especially “Evacuate? In the moment of triumph? I think not.”

The Phantom menace review was fine, but this one is way better.

Are you going to do commentary for the other movies?

banned from 4 different Aldis – ha ha

E.T.s in Star Wars – fuck, I had forgotten about that

but all of you are gonna be shit

It’s gonna be great

Woot!

i dont remember seeing it at all, but then again i pointed that out allready, also, in case you didnt read my final sentiments, fuck you, in the ear, with a grapefruit you massive twat.

oh fuck yeh, gimme some chistopher walken any day… he is in that movie right??? if he isnt its the biggest mistake lucas ever made.

yes

well answering your own questions can be fun also, especially when you start adding conspiracys like george lucas added the scream when luke falls in empire and then removed it again after it implicated him in the 9/11 attacks.

itunes?

You already are shit.Combo breaker.

He might be working on two at the same time? So I guess that means I was right and HSP is going to review KILL BILL, Parts I and II.

it was funny the first 20 times

Hey, thanx for this new material! I enjoyed listening to it while watching the blu-ray and found it most interesting, when it is about the filmmaking/storytelling aspects… like the droids in the deserts sequence could have been left out, if they were found right away, but how this way it tells us more about the world of the movie and gives you time to settle in… it’s always good to point out, what new movies ofthe have lost: a sense of taking their time to get you into the world of the movie and it’s atmosphere.. I remember as a child I really felt that desert and it was such a rush to come to Mos Eisley and then into space and then into the Death Star. This experience gets much bigger, because the movie takes so much time in it’s first act… And another funny thing about how the Special Edition is not, what George envisioned in the first place: The Cantina was supposed to be the scene where Luke is for the first time confronted with all those otherworldy aliens to get the full impact of “I’m away from home now…” ..and now he just drives through Mos Eisley and happens to meet many CG aliens, so again an addition that undermines the original impact of scenes. Just like when Jabba appears in front of the Falcon.. and shortly after that there is a reveal of the same location and the Falcon, where originally they see the ship for the first time.. no reveal anymore..
anyway, the nitpicking about story logic is always fun, because it just shows how much plot holes we gladly accept, when the rest (like the human drama) is fine..
And thanx for pointing out that our plot hole master is Mr. Nolan… I’m still not getting over how little sense TDKR makes…
I’m looking over to more commentarys and hope your cat is fine!

The trademark, from-nowhere Plinkett stuff — like the coffin-punch escape — is something I missed in the third prequel review.

We don’t need too much of the schtick, but that goofy creep-out stuff really grows on you.

“The Cantina was supposed to be the scene where Luke is for the first time confronted with all those otherworldy aliens”

Really? Way to over-analyze it, he seemed to be pretty comfortable with this strange, amazing sight.
Been dealing with Jawas all the time, probably seen quite a lot of different monsters in his life. Didn’t see that amazed Harry Potter look on his face when he entered the bar…

the antics in the city are simply silly and don’t fit into the movie, that’s the sole problem.

Parkin in Tarkin…classic. Shame i sold my shitty Star Wars DVD’s for prostitute money so I can’t watch and listen no more.

Last time I looked – a lot of that shit on Amazon was a Canadian version, with French subtitles

Check your facts before giving advice chief

Don’t cum all over yourself just yet.You might be wrong.

Ain’t you never heard of the library?

Were you an adventurer or something?

It was funny to watch the original unRaped version with this commentary. There is no way I’m ever gonna watch that Special Abortion.

I like how he specified that you should hide an “undetonated” bomb in a droid and sneak it onto the death star. Yes, that would be my preference, too. Much better than exploding a bomb, gathering up the shrapnel and dumping it into an R2 unit as though it was some kind of portable garbage can. Those detonated bombs really can be a hassle to work with.

Ok, I watched this yesterday with my special edition episode 4 dvd and had a hard time syncing it up until the cantina scene where han solo should of shot first. Thats when I got it synced up perfect. It was soooo good! Thanks for making this mr. plinket. I thought it would be funny to listen to it with the phantom menace but it only works up to the part where the ship blows up in the hanger bay in the beginning and plinkette says, “fire works, fire works. Watch out there using fire works!” pretty funny but its the only thing that matches up with episode 1. Again I love this man! Very funny stuff! Very entertaining. Peace!

So what, now the message of Star Wars is “as long as your boss says it’s alright, you’re good to go”?

Of course, she’s not really in position of authority – she says she is while Han protests, but none of them fall into her juris-my-diction and have to do whatever she says.

Han is told by her about the possible tracking, but brushes it off and then doesn’t tell Luke anything (although Leia may have told him off-screen).
They both don’t care at all, and by the time they’ve arrived, it’s stopped being an issue at all.

So yea, all three are equally guilty. Luke may be an unexperienced farmboy, but he’s smart enough to realize that if they’re being tracked… the baddies will come after them.

The rebel leaders may have more of a bone to pick with her because she’s one of them, but that’s a different question.

I really think they should’ve simply cut the “they must be tracking us” line, it caused way more problems than it solved.

Stop talking about my unfinished film again! Is just a B movie from 1977, is not well done, you cant understand? Try my current works, such as Red Fails and Episode I The Phantom Menage a Trois in 3D.

In 2013 we will release the first teaser for Indiana Jones V during his adventures in “The Asylum of Horror” following the classic films of Vincent Price!

I want to see who will have the last laugh! and i am a billionaire!

every post is just so filled with idiocy. every frame has something happening.

My god, John. We agree. We actually agree.

Will you please join me in a ceremonial internet high five?

Okay they’re all guilty. I’m just glad Mike pointed out what I consider to be a near fatal flaw in the film.

It’s still funny. I larf everytime.

Well, then, you should be ecstatic that HSP is going to eviscerate them.

Them movies–or his cat.

got thrown out of Adlis too bro.. 😛

“it goes against your own interests in entertaining”
I disagree with that part 😉

Generally, I think what you said applies to the reviews themselves – commentaries like this can hardly be those well-structured pieces of analysis, I think they’re at best when they’re loose and spontaneous.

It’s so dense

and three year olds laugh everytime you take your hand from your face and say peekaboo, it doesnt say much if you laugh or not.

Still vying for power? Nothing in any of the films remotely gives that impression. Also Empire pretty much makes anyone holding Vader’s leash a laughable notion. The prequels do a more then serviceable job with matching up with the politics in ANH, but when it comes to synchronizing the Anakin we see in the prequels with the one described by Obiwan in the original trilogy, the prequels fall woefully short.

I’ll see you all in HELL!

worked fine with the Blu Ray version. Then again I thought Piper at the Gates of Dawn worked perfectly with Redneck Zombies.

I get what you’re saying. Yes, V and VI the Empire is in control. I think what doesn’t line up on a fundamental level is how the senate seemed to be in the emperor’s pocket at the end of 3, now the continuity is a little murky when IV rolls around. I guess when I think about it the real point is, “Oh look, more evidence that Lucas didn’t think things through at all,” which at this point I suppose isn’t much of an argument.

Um..not everything is about sex…my guess is they went something along these lines http : // en.wikipedia. org / wiki /Red letter day…

In the commentary Plinkett claims he never made it past the third grade, yet we already know he and Palpatine went to the same high school.

WHAT A PLOT HOLE!

Now this is going to far… even to far for Pabst.

This was fun to listen to. It was kind of like the flipside to the prequel reviews. I’d love to see, or hear, commentary for Empire and Jedi.

I’ve always found the Palpatine impression fantastic and hilarious. You should have Plinky & Palpy do the commentary for Jedi, and have Palpy, in actor mode, giving us anecdotes about his time on the set.

Plinkett wasnt learning at that school he was just going to it. It was the will of the Force he does so.

I hope he reviews something meaninful. Like:

-Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, (‘Superbabies couldn’t be worse if it had been written and produced by actual babies, and I mean babies who are retarded and who hate movies’)
-Battlefield Earth( ‘… a sequel covering the second half of the book was planned, the universal
panning, poor box office intake and financial ruin of Franchise
Pictures killed off such plans…’)
-Freddy got Fingered (‘…If ever a movie testified to the utter creative bankruptcy of the Hollywood film industry, it is the abomination known as Freddy Got Fingered….;)
-Pinocchio(‘ Roberto Benigni misfires wildly with this adaptation of Pinocchio, and the result is an unfunny, poorly-made, creepy vanity project. ‘)
-Alone in the Dark (‘Inept on almost every level, Alone in the Dark may not work as a thriller, but it’s good for some head-slapping, incredulous laughter. ‘)
Plinkett ripping Babie Geniuses 1 and 2 a new asshole – now thats a review worth cumming all over yourself. Preferably in his shed.

Luke’s meticlorian count – ha ha! perfect

One of the Baldwins is in that movie too?

I am glad that Plinkett brought up the thing I’ve mentioned before: Luke going to “the Academy” with his friends. As in the Imperial Academy? To join the Empire that you hate so much? “Luke Skywalker” seems to be Tatooinian for “Bradley Manning”.

Please keep reviewing as many films as possible and don’t ever stop doing this. Your reviews are without doubt the best analysis of modern cinema in the world today.

This is DIFFERENT from your other commentaries. And I don’t like things that are DIFFERE(NT)(!)

This one was a LOT better than the commentary you did for Ep 1. When you veered off topic it was tighter and funnier. Good job. NOW WHERE’S A NEW REVIEW I DEMAND MORE FREE ENTERTAINMENT

Then you saw the movie

I almost got kicked out of the library listening to the Boss Nass part.

How about commentary tracks for these films?:

(good movies)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Ed Wood

The Dark Knight

aaand Empire

(bad movies)

Little Fockers

Twilight

Friends with Benefits

What movies would you guys want to see commented on?

Not as good as TPM

Wait, mate, It´s gonna be great!

You see it´s like poetry, cause it rhymes.

wait, what’s wrong with his face?

Bought the first two commentaries… can’t wait for more. Next is ESB? Episode II? Sounds like you had a lot of fun doing it.:)

WOS RRRONG WIF UR FAAAACE.

“..Or as assholes call it, “Episode IV: A New Hope..” My thoughts exactly.
