It’s well-documented that Lucas re-cut movie footage from WW2 movies to edit together an “animatic” of the climactic DS sequence. I saw the side by side movies somewhere and it’s amazing how the SW shots exactly match the footage. Funny that someone thought to make a copy of a copy of a copy.
What’s that sound??? Oh noes, the universe just circled back on itself! Nice knowin’ y’all! Well, most of y’all.

It’s called editing, Alex. I don’t think the original footage matches quite as perfectly as that.

As a hobbyist-editor, I tip my hat to you, Henry V Keiper. Especially spine-tingling is the part where Obi Wan tells him to use the Force. Nice job!

BTW Dam Busters is the movie in the Geldof’s TV on Pink Floyd the Wall movie… sorry if i am too obvious

I was expecting him to take his mask off when obi wan speaks to him. Still quite uncanny though.

Reagrding the dambusters movie, the reality was;
The idea for the Dambusters raid originated in 1940, when aeronautical designer Dr Barnes Wallis calculated the explosive power required to breach the Ruhr dams and discovered that no existing bomber could carry a large enough bomb. However, Wallis realised that smaller bombs accurately positioned at the foot of the dam could have the same effect.
To make this possible, Wallis designed the ‘bouncing bomb’: a missile that would skip across the water, hit the dam and roll to the bottom. The bomb needed only to be dropped at the right speed, at the right distance from the dam and at the right height above the water. This was the task of the specialist 617 Squadron, formed in March 1943.
Nineteen aircraft took off on 16 May. Nine were to attack the Möhne dam, then proceed to the Eder; five were to attack the Sorpe; and five constituted a ‘flying reserve’.
On the outward journey three aircraft were shot down and two damaged. Gibson led the attack on the Möhne dam, which was breached on the fourth attempt, and the Eder, which required only two bombs. Two bombers attacked the Sorpe and a third, driven off course, the Ennerpe dam. Three of the 14 surviving aircraft were lost in the attacks.
The raids flooded mines, factories and houses for 80km (50 miles); over 1,000 people drowned. However, the damage to the Ruhr’s industrial capability was relatively minor.

Hello, this is HenryvKeiper (believe it or not). I’m posting just to let everyone know I’m flattered by their responses to my video. I’m happy that people appreciate what I did to fight Saturday night boredom 
Just one small note for those who are curious: I took three different scenes from the movie (the planes arrive in Europe, the attack on the first dam, the attack on the second dam) to make the single film. I would essentially cut up the original Star Wars scene shot for shot and replace it with footage from the Dambusters, leaving in the original audio.
Have a good day, and thanks again.
