To think that he just grabs them off of someone else's channel and removes any credit info (!) is just horrible.

      Star Wars Analyst and Nick must have fallen out because I distinctly remember the fact that they were collaborating. What I think happened was Star Wars Analyst wasn't paying Nick for his time/works that he was digging up. Now Nick sees that Star Wars Anaylst is now actively putting a lot of the footage behind a paywall making you be a channel member to watch it with somewhat touched-up visuals and FXs. SW Analyst is essentially taking advantage of work allowed to him through goodwill or an agreement that they must've made prior.

    That part that “everybody hates” is fucking awesome. It’s such a cool way of telling the audience during the fight that Anakin and Obi wan both realize they are matched up to well and are a mirror image. So they start spinning their sabers looking for an opening or a mistake, however they can’t find one so they just lock blades and both try to use the force instead. And we know how that went. 😂 It’s such a genius fight.

      If you go to the Analyst’s channel and check out his playlists, you will find that one of them is behind paywall/membership and consists of exactly the videos that Mr. Gillard asked be taken down… And he has the gall to call Nick a liar all over his comment sections!
      In the Analyst's words: “Lucasfilm has removed all of these from my channel and does not want you seeing them...” It’s almost hilarious. He’s not even thinking of respectfully removing those videos. Amazingly, he’s learned nothing, but is STILL trying to capitalize on the situation, while keeping as many of his viewers in the dark as he possibly can. It’s shameful, but the thing about people like the Analyst is, they have no shame.

      I mean, it has to be true. I don't see why anyone should question this. This is coming from the master choreographer himself, who's also worked straight from the company and created all the duels that bratty kid took from him and claimed as his own, and either way, he officially doesn't want anyone to reproduce his work whatsoever (he even mentions it in his own channel's bio) unless he gives them explicit permission to do so, like with SWT in this interview, but not most others and clearly he's against SWA doing it, as he's stated. It's not like Theory was interviewing some second hand source speaking on behalf of Nick in regards to this incident, it's Nick himself saying this on here lol. The horse's mouth. The displayed texts could be faked, but they're very telling nonetheless.

    Amazing interview! what a once in a lifetime opportunity that really shows how much work you have put into building the channel. You can tell Nick simply loves his craft. The fact that someone is trying to take advantage of the GIFT Nick gave us all with his archived never seen footage is honestly outraging - reported Star Wars analyst as soon as I heard that section of the video. It is really sad that CZcams will often side with the bigger channel but hopefully this will push more people to report him and give nicks channel the attention it deserves.

      Just now finished watching the entire interview. Will be reporting in a couple mins myself as well. Truly asinine behavior. Like what Ewan McGregor once stated to douche canoes acting as "fans": "You're no Star Wars fan."

    Thank you so much for coordinating this interview with Mr. Gillard. I love watching the stunt footage of him and the other doubles and Hayden/Ewan. Such a privilege to hear all of his thoughts, experiences, and his take on things! And what an absolutely lovely man he is to boot.
    I’ve enjoyed many of your videos but I don’t think I’ve been this stoked on one of them since Shards of the Past. Looking forward to what you’ve got in store for the rest of the year! Although I’m sure you know it might be difficult to top this one…but no pressure, through the power of the force all things are possible right? 😜
    Anyways thank you again for the top notch content dude!

    Congrats Theory! I had chills down my spine a few times while you all were talking. The last few interviewers you’ve spoken to said they would let Hayden know you said hi. One day I know you’ll get to interview him, then eventually, George. Can’t wait to see them all!

  • @adammoore1546
    @adammoore1546 Před rokem +5

    It’s so fascinating how the people behind the scenes (including the actors) aren’t necessarily huge Star Wars fans. One of the more recent interviews with Hayden and Ewan really show that when they struggled with basic Star Wars knowledge such as which planet jabas palace is on.

I would love to see the different and longer versions of the scenes especially order 66. If Star wars ever had one "holy crap, that's really, reeeeaaaally dark" moment it would be the uncut order 66.

    That was an amazing interview!! I would watch the behind the scenes and featurettes and listen to the commentaries as often as I could and this brought things to another level. I was a big fan of the Lightsaber duels that Nick Gallard coordinated but never heard or seen any interview's of him outside of that. Thank you for keeping the spirit of George Lucas's vision and version's alive. I've been beyond disappointed of what Disney has done watching this channel kind of makes me forget about it for a while.

    This was a great interview. I remember spending hours and hours watching the behind-the-scenes footage of him working on the stunt choreography as well. I think every fan that grew up with the prequels did lol. I hope Nick realizes just how big of an impact he made on the prequels and the fandom. I'm so glad that George chose him for the stunt work. I hate what he is going through with the punk that is copying his videos. There's always someone trying ti cause issues.
