Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back (1980) film analysis! Why do Star Wars diehards consider The Empire Strikes Back to be the best Star Wars film, and what production secrets give Empire layers upon layers of hidden meaning? In this special #Wookieeleaks Star Wars rewatch series, Erik Voss turns to the darker second installment, in which Darth Vader reveals himself as Luke's father, Yoda reveals himself as more than an annoying jerk, and Boba Fett still comes off as a badass. How did director Irvin Kershner change the character dynamics among Han Solo, Leia, and Luke Skywalker to give the Star Wars franchise the emotional gravity to last decades? What subtle camerawork elevates the terror of Darth Vader? What is the real-world philosophical origin of Yoda's wisdom? And how does the Wampa of Hoth foreshadow the entire plot of the film?

Luke was gonna say "May the force be with you" but stopped him self when he remembered han doesn't believe in the force
They were remembering how they kept each other warm while being trapped outside all night, and hope Leia doesn't find out lol.
@@arohk1579 that Cant be the case of you pay attention han says "this will keep you warm till I get a shelter up" which means they were on a shelter shortly after the scene changed
I know I was making a joke with the clip in the video of Han and Luke smiling at each other.
@@arohk1579 the joys of the Internet you can't read vocals infliction
@@loud479 that was obviously a joke
Luke was gonna tell Han “I love you.” but he knew Han would reply “I know.” so he stopped short.
This comment deserves so many more likes XD
Lol
😂🤣😂
I ship them
Like the Bill the cat, is that a tattoo?
I believe Luke SkyWalker’s original line was *“Maclunky”* ,if I’m not mistaken
Its mcmuffin
Joshua Brandy it’s mclovin
I'm lovin it
Mcloffin
Lol
Yoda: There is another.
Me: Another baby of your species born at the same time as Anakin Skywalker? Okay.
Han Solo and Princess Leia's baby ben! Yeah...
Peter Parker absolutely knows the name of his Star Wars references, but he's clever enough to realize that the Avengers likely don't. He'd just waste time if he had to explain what AT-AT and Hoth were.
Exactly
I just thought he was trolling about tony always calling him a kid
I find it weird that he does given the fact that he was more of a Star Trek fan. But that's the MCU version you're talking about.
In my head cannon it is because he scared and overwhelmed, that his mouth is moving faster than his head and he is forgetting words and names.
It's also likely used for people in the audience as well, not everyone is a huge Star Wars fan who will know what thing's are called.
By far, the best Star Wars movie. Every second of this movie is fantastic. As a kid, the Hoth scenes were what I loved the most.
David Baker same here pal
my favorite parts are the Duel and Revelation.
Still is I wish we got a remake of just that scene it was when Star Wars reallly became about a war
i agree 100% it is a masterpiece a true testament to how good star wars is
a film to be remembered as a classic blockbuster movie and a timeless plethora of emotion
Always has been
Han Solo was originally supposed to say “I love you too”
Harrison's version was much better
I Know
@@Raged_Consumer
What else can I say?
i no
I Know id u get it
Watching those 2 kids react to the "I am your father" scene was so damn wholesome but unfortunately for me I also knew about Vader being his father before watching the movies as it was a popular pop culture reference so i never got the same shocked feeling as them and I really wish I did.
I will NEVER forget how completely stunned and floored I was when Vader told Luke he was his father. I was in a little country movie theater with only 1 screen with every kid I knew were there watching it... was the greatest cinematic moment I have ever experienced. I've had the blessing of seeing every single Star Wars movie that has been released on the big screen, in person, on release day. Keep up the great work!
That's amazing, I wasn't even a gamet in my father's eyes for a long time
I got to see 7 and 9 in theaters that was really fun
I watched the prequels at home but remember renting episode III when it came out from blockbuster with my dad :)
I watched all of these movies with the boys last night
Mr. Dr0boT I think he means the originals
@@everythingdibs344 yea youtube popularity = real life friends
just saw empire today lol
Kinda meta
As you should
1:07 just realized u can see the top of vader's helmet blowing around lol
thanks for ruining the scene for me
it's not "blowing around" . that specific clip is sped up and that's vader's head mannerisms moving the helmet while speaking sped up.
@@kreia187 don't just believe what people say, and focus. you'll eventually be able to make up your own mind.
My wife and I regularly watch all these movies. They never get old.
Luke: “Uh, Han, your fly is down.”
"I know"
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster"
@@finnywinny0511 r/cursedcomments
"I know"
Imagine being frozen in carbonite with your light saber still on
That would be pretty bad.
Just a Frozen block with a deadly 3000 degree saber of plasma sticking out. But, would that melt the carbonite?
Prolly not since Lightsabers can be ignited and deactivated by the force and by a physical switch so Luke’s freezing might’ve made the lightsaber deactivate.
Or a sudden attack of galactic mudbutt
Wait which lightsaber? 😳😳😳
Drives me crazy when people comment on Peter calling it the 'snow planet' and the 'walking thingys' apparently assuming this means HE doesn't know the real names. I've always just thought he was using that language because he's unsure that the adults will know the real terms/names and so in the moment just wants to be certain they get what he's trying to explain.
I assume he just had a brain-fart and forgot, given all the craziness going on around him.
I thought the exact same. I definitely keep in mind the audience I am speaking to when I am explaining things. I know my friends would be lost if I said Hoth and AT-AT, even if they've seen it. Not everyone is as into these movies as we apparently are
Very true on all account's.
That's decent logic I suppose. But it's kind of odd to assume that it's possible for a young kid like him to be familiar with the movie but the adults who probably grew up watching it wouldn't? More sense that he said it that way just to keep his idea simple so people didn't have to go, um, what?
I do the same thing honestly
"The german vater"
The dutch:am i a joke to you
grievous tan Dit!!!!
Hahaha ja ik had wat ergernissen hier
Iedereen linkt het met het Duits alsof Nederlands niet bestaat lol
@@gunnar12121 altijd weer die Duitsers
i get it its cuz vader in dutch mean father
you missed that Chewie said, "but you are related" when Leia kissed Luke
I love that we get to see the “no disintegrations” line imagined in Chapter 2 of The Mandalorian when he blows up those Jawas!
that was in Chapter 1 I believe. I don't remember Mando having Beskar armor at that point.
Right as you uploaded this, I was watching the Empire Strikes Back on Disney plus.
Well I was watching aotc so um explain that
Favorite part about Luke & Vader's duel is something I only noticed 20 years after my first time watching it: Vader is mostly toying with and testing Luke's abilities--but near the end, Luke is able to hit Vader in the shoulder. Vader winces, gets really annoyed (probably thinking "you little sh*t! now you're gonna get it!"), and really starts to unload on his son. For some reason, it reminds me of a parent trying to give a troublesome toddler a bath. LOL
The wampa was just trying to find the island of misfit toys but luke effed him up.
🤣💀
Misfit Toys is a band
Tragic😢
@@beckiterry9382 but you get the joke right?
Jesus christ...😂
I always felt that Luke's failure in the cave was giving in to his feelings, and the Dark Side, striking out of fear and anger, echoed by Yoda's warnings about the Path to the Dark Side.
Luke: hey Han sorry but I think Leia is into me
Leia is Luke's sister...
Queue *sweet home Alabama*
Inseset
Brightly yes, I think he knew that
Super smash Bros
"Vader is actually similar to the German vater" You could have just said it just means father in Dutch but ok... :(
but then the space nazi reference wouldn't have worked so well.
Patrick Mieslinger true but it is a little odd
@@yoey3297 I mean, the Dutch word for father is literally vader, zo it isn't that weird as all
We're always being overlooked
Dank je
Seeing those kids faces during the “I am your father” twist was so wholesome!
Empire was byfar the best story of the original trilogy.
The scene he describes when we see the might of the Imperial Fleet and Darth Vader in command with Imperial March playing was (when I saw it as a teen) the most terrifying (and coolest) thing I'd ever seen!
I've got a good detail I think you guys missed.
Like you mentioned, Vader kills every one of his lieutenants that fails him. Captain Needa, the first Admiral, etc. Well when Admiral Piett loses the Falcon at the end of the film, Vader is too distraught, emotional, or whatever you feel like he is to care about anything else. Piett seems to expect to be killed, but Vader just passes by him. It's something I never caught until pointed out to me, and I really like it.
On an unrelated note, the symphony in my city recently did a screening of Empire with a live orchestral score, and WOW. This particular film has one of the greatest film scores in all of cinema. Hearing it live really put that in perspective for me.
*Admiral Ozzel
21:48 C3PO was never all gold ...one of his leg silver
I am so, so glad I am old enough that I got to see these movies in order, and my mind was completely blown! And the darker theme, left me speechless. Return of the Jedi, as a kid was my favorite of the trilogy. But now, as an adult... oh yeah, The Empire Strikes Back is my absolute favorite of the originals, absofreakinglutely.
"Boba Fett's letdown demise"
Oh how naive we were
Absolutely these never get old come on .. the whole Darth Vader line to Luke “I am your father” just 🤯
The funniest thing ever is very recently I noticed the SnowSpeeder pilots on Hoth all have bubble wrap on their shoulder seat belts...I can't stop laughing at it now that I have noticed it. I just picture their heads bobbing around flying and all you hear is the popping from from the bubble wrap. 😂😂
Why “at at” when AT-ST exists?
AT-AT, AT-ST, AT-RT, AT-OT... etc.
@@devingentry5897 I mostly mentioned AT-ST because its part of the same battle but yeah, logic behind at at stands as well as AT-AT's do..
Chicken walker!!!!!

At streets
I spent a ridiculous amount of energy trying to keep my 4 kids from knowing Vader was Luke’s father only for my 9yr old to find out from a friend at school and tell his siblings later that day. Broke my heart when I found out. There are only so many firsts a father gets to impart on his kids, introducing them to queen and nirvana, the beetles, fight club, Tarantino, Star Wars and Star Trek, quantum leap, cheers and Seinfeld… I lost a bit that day.
in rogue one, one of the aliens shouts "at-at!" when they're attacked by at-acts so make of that what you will
Dankthony Daniels they’ve said it every which way throughout the series.
@@theleanhead I've always said at at. Not ay tee ay tee.
There was the smoke and it was just the head he saw so that is why pao yells that
I still get chills when watching empire
I just realized how much the painting in 5:36 looks like Star Lord.
21:31 When I saw this for the first time, I already knew the reveal because in Vader's entry scene, I asked them, "Who's that?"
"Luke's dad."
"Who's Luke?"
"You'll see him in a little bit."
It's great to see what kids' reactions are to the unspoiled version.
You didn't see Star Wars before you saw Empire?
Vadere, the basis for invade and evade, is latin root for "to go" or "walk", which might mean it is a play on skyWALKer. Just something to think about.
I call the ATAT's walking thingies.
I used to call them metal dogs
@@andressolorzano5775 i used to call them snow dogs
I call humans Walking Thingies
my mum calls them big elephants
Luke was going to say "Hey, you never paid me back that $5 you owed me" but he didn't feel it was the appropriate time. Luke never got his $5 back, but you can see in The Force Awakens Han's realization in remembering he owed him after Kylo's lightsaber penetrated his body. Han tried to tell Kylo to give the $5 to Luke, but Han feel to his death reaching for his wallet. Sad
At 36yo I am glad I got to have my mind blown when I found out Darth Vader was Luke's father.
I love empire strikes back! I remember being a kid, it was winter break as a kid and just jaw on the floor when I found out about Vader’s true origin. It made me fully enthralled as a Star Wars geek and I wanted to consume more and more of its lore
I still remember the feelings I had when watching the original trilogy on VHS ... I miss those days
I've had really bad day with exams now that have released this my day very good now
Had to watch this video 3 times to fully digest everything you said! Thanks!
I was born in the 90s and when I was a kid my parents had the trilogy vhs and when I was little and first watched it they didn’t tell me so I actually got to be go from episode four to six not knowing till I found out for myself and it was amazing to not know going into it. Lol
I remember asking my dad, after finishing the original trilogy in the mid 90's, why we watched episodes 4-6 first. The explanation that they were filmed out of order left me so confused.
But if Peter used those terms with the rest of the team they definitely would not know what he is talking about.
I think he was just trolling tony because tony always mentions how young he is
I think he doesn't use the terms so that he doesn't look like a big Star Wars nerd in front of the Avengers
Except the old folks would have seen the movies when they were young. Peter probably doesn't use it b/c copyright issues - Disney hadn't gained their foothold, yet. I think. Probably most likely.
@@grondhero literally half the avengers are massive nerds, they should know star wars, it was literally on the list for cap to watch (I know, different team) but it shows star wars is big in that universe too
@@garfsexual6999 Really? No kidding? Thanks for your condescending remark agreeing with what I stated.
Don't forget, Mark Hamill didn't know he was going to cut off the Wompa's arm.
And when he saw the release with that, he was quite upset.
I never got that feeling finding out Darth Vader is Luke's father because my uncle is a big star wars fan like me he just told everyone about Darth Vader being Luke's father
“Literally everything is in space Morty!”
He was going to say that something about that kiss with Leia didn't feel right.
I fear that after you do RotJ that you'll make me like the prequels by giving me some deep insights into them that I never knew.
I mean the prequels story us actually pretty good
I dont think anything could make the prequels appear to be good.
@@Codemarla The prequels are underrated af
Didn't know there were still prequel haters out there, I thought everyone had moved on to hating the sequels instead
Soon as you mentioned the removed wampa room scene. I immediately remember the part in the "Shadows of the Empire" game of having to release said Wampas to get that challenge point
when mark hamil said "That's not true, that's impossible." he spat all over the camera
Ratzenberger also had a bit in the first Superman movie, one of the air traffic controllers in the flight tower.
Chewie mumbling while looking at luke and leia kiss is hilarious 😂 timelessly funny.
Episode 3 of the mandolorion was pretty good
Oh it's out
Mando goes John Wick
"vader is similar to vater"
Dutch people: *now hold-up*
Precies dat had ik dus ook 😅 iedereen dacht het al voor dat de film het liet zien..tenminste de mensen om me heen in de 80s..
@@karakuri100p de hele verassing was er inderdaad al uit bij de eerste keer dat ik die naam zag haha
Luke wanted to tell Han he had a boogie sticking out but felt it would be funnier if he didn't. He giggled about it all the way to Dagobah.
When the elephant fell down I flinched
Awesome analysis though in Civil War I believe Peter was trying to dumb it down for Tony and Rhodes to understand
5:30 - on the left is Joe Johnstone, future director of The Rocketeer, Jurassic Park 3 and Capt America: 1st Avenger.
Luke: I love you.
Han: I know.
18:43 The person holding the unfinished Fett helmet is Joe Johnston, not Jeremy Bulloch. Also, the line Lucas wrote for Ford before Han gets frozen was "I love you too". Not liking the line, Kershner had Ford improvise on the spot as the cameras were shooting. Ford thought Han was too macho to open up with his feelings, so he simply said "I know" and Kershner loved it.
4:24-5:24 is the REAL reason I say Empire is the best out of all of them. Plus I love how it has a dark cliff hanger ending.
12:25 "Yoda is one of the few [characters] who's species and origin has been deliberately left a mystery" that didnt age well now that we have baby yoda. (Nvm. Its not baby yoda, just another of the same species)
Excellent video. I can only imagine how much time was spent on research 👏
The “You must first understand the wampa” had me cracking up😂
Saw ESB in a theater on opening day. The audience had a collective gasp at the big twist reveal.
Luke was gonna say " I aint never seen two pretty best friends".
This was interesting. I thought I knew everything about this movie.
This was and still my favorite Episode of Star Wars before it became cool in the late 80's and found out I'm not the only one who thinks this too.
Empire was cool in 1980
Hands down my favorite Star Wars movie, and the best overall star wars movie!
"It is the Heart of it all"--r. ebert.
So boba was actually introduced in the holiday special for the animation part
I wait and wait and waaaaait for y’all to post a video everyday! Thank you!!!
6:40 im in marching band and last year our drumaijor made us play it about 10 times every game instead of any other stands tunes we had and it became an inter-band meme and i love it now because of that
The Dutch word for father is literally Vader, even closer than the German Vater (though spoken they are similar). I think we who speak German & Dutch saw it coming haha
So here 13:18 is where the mythology breaks down, especially after you include the prequels.
Here it seems Yoda WANTS Luke to be afraid. And yet Fear leads to the Dark side.
More proof that Yoda and Ben are throwing Luke under the bus
Or "you will know fear" as in...Vader is his father...he will know the fear of the whole situation...
You guys are SO good at this!
WOW! Never caught all of that contrast and symbolism. I am a pretty deep STAR WARS fan but I was truly impressed to have some of that stuff pointed out. Kudos.
I'm so old I saw Empire in the cinema when it first came out! 😂
Yes the way it was meant to be seen 35mm.
Lucky
It's not that old. We were the lucky ones.
When Vader said I am your father... I was just like those little kids in the video... I had to wait 3 years to find out if it was true or not..
6:38 go hear The Planets Suite by Gustalv Holst. Is like hearing the BSO of your favourite all times movies,. written 50-60 or more years BEFORE (really glad you put that reference there guys :) )
I was born in 1978.... Saw RotJ in theaters at 3.5 yrs old before the other films of the trilogy. So.... Never was shocked at the reveal. Tried to keep the reveal from my kids but they never really wanted to watch Star wars and one day I guess my son at school was told Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father and the best I got to do was when he asked if Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father I answered "his father, he is"
I’ll never forget the moment when my brother jumped out of his chair and screamed Darth Vader is Luke’s dad.
"Obi Wan has taught you well." - Darth Vader
*Luke had the High Ground*
I loved this video, every second of it!!!
Your review made my day👍
Luke: Epstein didn't kill himself
Han: I know
as far as details you missed, you failed to mention that the tie fighter/millennium falcon chase scene in the asteroids is taken straight from world war two era combat footage from b-17/b-24 bombers taken while they were being attacked by german interceptors. the multiple quad turrets on the falcon are purposefully placed to resemble the turrets on those bombers. some scenes are frame for frame reproductions. dive deep, friendo.
Love your star war vids keep doing what your doing
I am really enjoying these videos are you going to do the first 3 movies ?
Actually, AT-ATs are inspired by indracotherium.
Adults and Elders: Like Original Trilogy
Comic Nerds: Like Prequel Trilogy
Kids and Teenagers: Like Disney Trilogy
Well some of us actually like them all
@@wefreefew and a true fan likes the prequels, the OT and rogue one.
6:43 is it just me, or does anyone else hear a potential inspiration for Kylo’s theme there too?
Bonus points for the Ralph Bakshi reference!!
7:38 “equality”
