Hey, Homies! This is most people's favorite installment and widely considered to be the best Star Wars film. It certainly is mine. Young people who came of age with the Prequel trilogy often cite Episode III as their favorite. "Empire" has four strikingly distinct environments, an amazing opening battle, the Yoda reveal, the romantic sparring, a deeper explanation of the Force, Lando's treachery and redemption, the presence of fan favorite Boba Fett, the loss of Han, the Vader revelation and the cliffhanger ending. It is a wild escapist ride that packs an emotional wallop! Mark Hamill had a terrible car accident prior to filming and underwent facial reconstructive surgery. Already a part of the screenplay, the WAMPA attack on Hoth became an in-story way to explain his new look and the make-up department enhanced his barely-visible scars. Han eviscerating the TAUN TAUN is an authentic form of arctic and/or cold weather survival. He stuffed Luke's hypothermic body in the still-warm carcass of the animal wrapping him in its innards in order to keep him from freezing to death. People have done this to survive. I love it when people freak out watching that scene! BACTA is the liquid in the healing cylinder. It is a bacterial compound with regenerative properties that is the standard medical treatment for all injuries in the Star Wars galaxy. Yoda's odd little voice is provided by his puppeteer Frank Oz who voices many Jim Henson Muppets like Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Animal as well as Sesame Street characters like Cookie Monster, Bert and Grover! Yoda pretended to be a grubby, eccentric hermit simply to get an honest reaction out of Luke that would reveal his character. It's a test like those of the gods in Greek mythology who appear as deformed peasants to see how the hero will behave toward the lowliest person. The new player Vader was kneeling before is the Emperor! The same actor plays him in all his appearances across the saga.
The MYNOCKS are bat-sized creatures that feed off electrical energy and are starship pests. Sometimes they live symbiotically in the gullets of space leviathans like the EXOGORTH that swallowed the 'Falcon'! I find it amusing how social norms have changed. I've watched a number of millennials view Star Wars for the first time now on RUclips and quite a few young women are APPALLED by Han Solo's behavior! When these movies came out, Harrison Ford became an instant mega-star and sex symbol because of his devil-may-care swagger and brash forwardness. He subscribed to the "treat a Queen like a whore and a whore like a Queen" school of seduction and WOMEN LOVED HIM FOR IT!!! You can tell he's a softie underneath which is what makes him endearing but it seems young women today find him INSUFFERABLE!!! All boys thought he was the coolest guy ever. It's funny how times change. I'm relieved that his charms weren't lost on you ladies! Leia was a feminist icon back in the day! An independent woman of means comfortable wielding power, unafraid to get her hands dirty and dedicated to a serious cause! A whole generation of young boys and girls grew up with her as a role model. Talented screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan was responsible for all the fun romantic banter in this film. As Leia is Alderaanian royalty and Han Solo is a Corellian street kid, it's basically a CLASS ISSUE preventing her from accepting her feelings for Solo. The constant arguing is their foreplay as he wears her down with his roguish charm. Lol. Harrison Ford's famous "I know." reply to Leia's declaration of love was ad-libbed by Ford who wasn't feeling the more generic "I love you, too." line from the script. Director Irvin Kershner and George Lucas kept it in the movie. It's perfect for the character. I've seen others take DEEP OFFENSE! Keep in mind that Solo has been upfront with Leia about his feelings for her for THREE YEARS at this point! She's the one who has been coy with him despite her obvious attraction. Her admission is what HE'S been patiently waiting for and he matter-of-factly tells her he's fully aware of how she feels. It's the answer SHE DESERVES! Lol. The movies were remastered in the late '90s to promote the upcoming Prequel trilogy with some CGI overlays of the original practical effects but this installment has the fewest egregious changes and looks much like it did in 1980. The Wampa feeding, some aerial shots of Cloud City, a clearer view of the Emperor and some windows cut into corridors Leia, Lando and Chewie are running through at the end which look out onto the Bespin cityscape are the only updates I can think of. People were SO INVESTED in this franchise back in 1980 that scrutiny during production was INTENSE!! They had the actor in the Vader suit, David Prowse, speak different lines to Luke to conceal the reveal even though Hamill was told what to react to. Dummy scripts were used on set to throw off snoops and spies. James Earl Jones was told the truth just prior to recording the scene. When Jones uttered those immortal words on screen, "No, I am your father.", audiences collectively GASPED, SCREAMED, CRIED, FAINTED and SHOUTED their dismay! It remains one of cinema's MOST ICONIC MOMENTS.
You know you have a true super villain on your hands when they can just stand there and he doesn't even have to touch you ..his presence scares the hell out of you!
YT Algorithm: Would you like to see a Bulgarian girl in pigtails and tight leather pants squealing about Han and Leia's make out session? Me: Well...that's why I'm here.
People on YT: "Imma see what all this hype is about Star Wars. Why is it such a big deal?" Credits roll: "DA DA DA-DA DAAAAA DAAAA, DA-DA DAAAAA DAAAA!"
Don't worry, you're not the only one to question if Vader's actually Luke's father. :) When James Earl Jones (the voice of Vader) first read that in the script, his first reaction was, "He's lying!"
@@kevinknight9950 The ON-SET line was that, but that was just so no one knew the real twist. James Earl Jones received a hand-written version of the scene, to prevent photo copies of the script leaking (they script didn't have the real line). A hand-written version of the scene is also what Hamill read, as he was informed mere minutes before shooting the scene.
"I didn't recognize him." Well, there is a reason why Luke looks so different now. Between IV and V Mark Hamill had a car accident while shooting a movie named "Corvette Summer", suffering some face injuries like broken cheek bone, etc. There was the "Star Wars Holiday Special 1978" shoot shortly after the accident where you could see a big difference in his two face sides, making his face look very uneven and unsymetrical. He had some facial reconstruction afterwards and this is the best they could do for him back in the days. Not the pretty boy anymore but better then looking like Quasimodo Junior... Sometimes life hits you like a brick to the face ..... quite litteraly.
Wow. Why did I never knew about this? I've seen the original trilogy a lot of times and I noticed that Luke's face looked a little different here, but I always thought that it was because of the cold (his face was very red/purple and swollen) and the Wampa attack, and I never payed much attention to it later. I always thought that Mark Hamill was simply ugly because he was getting older... now I feel bad for thinking that :c
Yeah, they can send the force over the airwaves, but they can't use it at all without making hand gestures. Doesn't even matter if they have robot hands. No hand gesture, no force! It's almost like they're doing it cus they believe someone is watching, and they don't want to confuse them.
Leia changes hair each movie OMG! Wait until you see Queen Amidala in the prequels, changing hairstyle AND outfit "every time she walks through a door !"
The tank Luke was in is a bacta tank. Bacta is a special fluid that speeds up healing. Yes, that was a vision Luke had in the cave and it was him in the mask. It was telling him if he attacked without emotional control he could fall to the dark side. Oh, one of you doesn’f believe. Then I’m not sharing some trivia because it gives it away. You’ll learn in episode 6 if it’s true or not.
Mark Hamill (Luke) was in a pretty bad car wreck during the filming of this movie. They used the scars on his face to their advantage for the ice monster (Wampa) attack. George Lucas, the director, went to see him in the hospital and instead of being overly concerned for Mark, he looked at Mark’s condition as said, “we could use this” lol.
No, it happened before the first one was released. He was supposed to do pickup shots in the landspeeder, but the accident happened and they used a double, with a woman in the Threepio costume.
@@JedHead77 can’t remember where I heard/read it...but now that I look, it’s like there’s some big conspiracy around this. m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_8035468 I’ll take your word for it though 👍
Second movie: "Luke is a Gary Stu", he gets defeated and loses his hand and his lightsaber. First Movie: "Rey is not a Mary Sue", She defeats Kylo Ren and won a Force matchup to get Anakin's Lightsaber.
I loved that you estimated that the drop from the underside of the AT-AT (the 4 legged walkers on the ice planet [Hoth]) was 10 meters, because the total hight of those things is supposed to be 15 metres
@5:02, Prior to this scene, there is a General who goes to Darth Vader to address the situation. That actor also plays Grand Maester Pycell in Game of Thrones.
Vader : Admiral Ozzel came out of light-speed too close to the system. Veers: He felt surprise was wiser... (10 seconds later) Ozzel : Lord Vader, the fleet has moved out of light-speed, and we're preparing to... Aaagh (cough, choke)! LESSON: You don't second guess Vader, or do what you think is "wiser"... just do exactly what you're told.
"You'll freeze before you reach the first marker." "Then I'll see you in hell." This line of dialogue was the inspiration for 300's "eat hearty men, for tonight we dine in hell!"
You ladies missed the classic Han Solo line, where (just before he's frozen in carbonite) Leia says to him "i love you" and he replies (as only a 'scoundrel' like Han Solo would) "i know". lol It was actually an improvised line....they tried having Han say 'i love you, too', but it just didn't sound/feel right for the character, so Harrison Ford instead said "i know", which was perfect.
So the vision in the cave where Luke sees his own head inside Vader's helmet had two meanings behind it. The first he was no match for Vader and if he tried to face him Luke would lose (which he did) and 2. That if Luke wasn't careful he would follow the same path Vader did
@@billolsen4360 Luke defiantly lost that first fight and was lucky to have escaped at all. In fact in the book version of it he almost does not. In the book Vader stretches out his hand and creates a wind tunnel inside the chasm that starts to lift Luke up then hesitates, has second thoughts and allows him to fall again either to escape or to his death. Vader was not sure what would happen but allowed it to, he very easily could have ended Luke's fall as it happened in the movie.
@@billolsen4360 No he did not but he did lose that fight on cloud city. and he also does turn to the dark side for a short time after ROTJ and it is thanks to Leia and Han that he turns back (All in books and comics) so both aspects of his failure in the cave come to pass.
"Shut up Artoo! He's gonna lose concentration!" Sadly, Yoda knows he's got to learn how to focus, despite distraction. Complaining droids may be the least of his worries, when it really counts.
2:30 - When the sound effects department makes the sound of a lightsaber retracting, but the visual arts department forgot to actually show the lightsaber retracting. LOL 3:01 - I thought Qui-gon was his master. Am I missing something? 12:25 - Exactly, Ellie...exactly, hehe. 30:48 - Metaphors be with you, too! ;-)
@@tfpp1 he must have learned him a fiew technical. During episode 2 we see yoda with some novice. And at the end of episode 3 he talks about learning him how to communicate with Qui gon
The giggle sisters! It's like they are watching on a TV in a hair salon! It's fun to watch girls watch a movie like this which the boys take so seriously!
The reason why they started the movie with Luke Skywalker getting scarred by the ice monster was because the actor Mark Hamill had been in a nearly fatal car accident, and had to have his face surgically reconstructed in some ways. So they made the scene where his face gets damaged by the creature to explain the changes to his face. It must have been traumatizing for the actor in so many ways. Luckily he survived though, and the rest as they say is history.
The car accident grows in severity with each retelling. From Hamill's Wikipedia biography: "On January 11, 1977, before shooting one of his scenes in Star Wars, Hamill was in a car accident in which he fractured his nose and left cheekbone. As a result, a double was used for the landspeeder pickup shots. According to a recorded interview, he was driving his BMW on a freeway, became distracted, and seeing that he was missing his off ramp, attempted to negotiate four lanes of traffic. Hamill later said that the stories surrounding his injuries had become exaggerated. Confirming that he had only broken his nose, he observed that "over the years it's been built up into having my face reconstructed with plastic surgery."
It actually makes perfect sense that Vader is Luke's father. Vader wasn't always Vader, he was a Jedi known as Anakin Skywalker, trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi but he turned to the dark side of the force when he lost his wife who died in childbirth. So when Obi-Wan said that Luke's father died "because of Vader", he meant it sort of symbolically, meaning Anakin Skywalker died the moment he turned to the dark side and became "Darth Vader" instead.
No, Obi-Wan lied. Text from Episode 4 A New Hope. Obi-Wan: "A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father.”
@@billolsen4360 No, that’s a semantic argument and a weak one at that. He wouldn’t use Anakin’s name there because he doesn’t want to reveal the secret yet. It’s not a lie. You’re literally arguing over semantics and it’s ridiculous.
The look they had on their faces when Luke's hand was cutoff was the same reaction I had as an 8 year old when I first saw it in the movie theater in 1980!
Many (including me) think this is the best movie of the series. My big question is why didn't Vader use the force to stop Luke from falling and capture him? He wasn't in a position to put up much of a fight at that point.
I think it may be a multifaceted reason. Luke effectively said “I would rather kill myself than be with and work with you,” which I think deeply hurt him, monster though he is. I think he wanted Luke to be willing to join him, not just forced into being there. Vader was also conflicted or becoming conflicted so his concentration would have been off too. Finally, it’s just cooler and sets up a better sequel.
I was a bit worried that Mish had a shade of the Dark Side about her for a while ... and then Luke lost his hand and I saw that it was that she is good at keeping her emotions masked. Those little signs she showed where it looked like Luke was lost reassured us where her path with the Force truly lies :).
Tru shit: Mark Hamil got in a bad car wreck between IV and V and had face scars, which is why they put this opening scenerio where the monster smacks him in the face and he gets scarred by frost bite.
I think he had some 3rd degree burns from where some of the car interior melted onto his face. And it was a great way to explain his injuries. John Carpenter was going to do something similar for his cancelled The Thing sequel by saying Kurt Russel and Keith David looked older due to severe frostbite.
Nice to see your reactions watching the originals in the right order, in the release order (the only real Star Wars imho), and with a fresh eyes not knowing much beforehand. Looking forward you to see the Return of the Jedi. Have fun ! 👍
Congratulations, ladies. I slept in front of a theater in Boston to view the premier, introduced it to all my children. From this day on, the Wampa will be Chewbacca's girlfriend....
This is one of my favorite audience reaction videos ever. Very heartfelt comments. Too bad about the choppy movie editing, which I'm sure was necessary for some reason.
It's amazing how quickly you forget that these are FX and just get pulled into the story and what is happening. Holds up incredibly well even today. I know that some parts were added with CGI in the new versions, but like George Lucas said in an interview, they really didn't have to make that many changes to the original FX.
Love this reaction! :) Do you have any idea how difficult it is for first time watchers to have never heard [the BIG spoiler] beforehand? Much less not necessarily recognizing [not so big spoiler] on first site?
Ellie es lo más dulce de Internet en estos últimos meses... Me encanta cuando hace pucheros... I hope your learn spanish very soon!!!! Greetings from. Chile..
Not gonna lie that is the life of the empire for example if a soldier or officer or admiral fails a leader like Vader he would kill the person that failed and give a higher rank / promotion to someone else. and that new person becomes in charge of the army.
Mark Hamill was in a car accident before this movie was made. They remade his face. When I first saw the Star Wars movies, I though they changed the actor.
The greatest movie ever made. Pacing, plot, performance, script, tone, gravitas and it gets REALLY dark. And when you boil it down its about a bunch of friends trying to escape in a spaceship that keeps breaking down. Simplicity Clarice...

Hey, Homies! This is most people's favorite installment and widely considered to be the best Star Wars film. It certainly is mine. Young people who came of age with the Prequel trilogy often cite Episode III as their favorite. "Empire" has four strikingly distinct environments, an amazing opening battle, the Yoda reveal, the romantic sparring, a deeper explanation of the Force, Lando's treachery and redemption, the presence of fan favorite Boba Fett, the loss of Han, the Vader revelation and the cliffhanger ending. It is a wild escapist ride that packs an emotional wallop!
Mark Hamill had a terrible car accident prior to filming and underwent facial reconstructive surgery. Already a part of the screenplay, the WAMPA attack on Hoth became an in-story way to explain his new look and the make-up department enhanced his barely-visible scars.
Han eviscerating the TAUN TAUN is an authentic form of arctic and/or cold weather survival. He stuffed Luke's hypothermic body in the still-warm carcass of the animal wrapping him in its innards in order to keep him from freezing to death. People have done this to survive.

I don't think Luke lost at all. He refused to turn to evil and risked his life to get out of Vader's presence.
@@billolsen4360 Luke defiantly lost that first fight and was lucky to have escaped at all. In fact in the book version of it he almost does not. In the book Vader stretches out his hand and creates a wind tunnel inside the chasm that starts to lift Luke up then hesitates, has second thoughts and allows him to fall again either to escape or to his death.
Vader was not sure what would happen but allowed it to, he very easily could have ended Luke's fall as it happened in the movie.
@@CDRhammond Luke didn't team up with Vader and the Emperor it's as simple as that.
@@billolsen4360 No he did not but he did lose that fight on cloud city. and he also does turn to the dark side for a short time after ROTJ and it is thanks to Leia and Han that he turns back (All in books and comics) so both aspects of his failure in the cave come to pass.
@@CDRhammond Didn't see the books or comics. Thanks.
Moment Luke jumps is when Vader starts to take him seriously. That's like: "Okay....... Respect.."
When Mish said, Wrong hole" all I could think of is:.....That's what she said. LOL
In order for me: IV, V, VI, I, II, III
"Shut up Artoo! He's gonna lose concentration!"
Sadly, Yoda knows he's got to learn how to focus, despite distraction. Complaining droids may be the least of his worries, when it really counts.
The actors who played Boba Fett (the bounty hunter) and Darth Vader just passed away a few months ago. 🥀🥀
2:30 - When the sound effects department makes the sound of a lightsaber retracting, but the visual arts department forgot to actually show the lightsaber retracting. LOL
3:01 - I thought Qui-gon was his master. Am I missing something?
12:25 - Exactly, Ellie...exactly, hehe.
30:48 - Metaphors be with you, too! ;-)
Yoda is everyone master
@@louistakeshi1981 I undersand the sentiment. But technically speaking, did he literally "train" Obi-wan?
@@tfpp1 he must have learned him a fiew technical. During episode 2 we see yoda with some novice. And at the end of episode 3 he talks about learning him how to communicate with Qui gon
The giggle sisters! It's like they are watching on a TV in a hair salon! It's fun to watch girls watch a movie like this which the boys take so seriously!
The reason why they started the movie with Luke Skywalker getting scarred by the ice monster was because the actor Mark Hamill had been in a nearly fatal car accident, and had to have his face surgically reconstructed in some ways. So they made the scene where his face gets damaged by the creature to explain the changes to his face.
It must have been traumatizing for the actor in so many ways. Luckily he survived though, and the rest as they say is history.
The car accident grows in severity with each retelling. From Hamill's Wikipedia biography: "On January 11, 1977, before shooting one of his scenes in Star Wars, Hamill was in a car accident in which he fractured his nose and left cheekbone. As a result, a double was used for the landspeeder pickup shots. According to a recorded interview, he was driving his BMW on a freeway, became distracted, and seeing that he was missing his off ramp, attempted to negotiate four lanes of traffic. Hamill later said that the stories surrounding his injuries had become exaggerated. Confirming that he had only broken his nose, he observed that "over the years it's been built up into having my face reconstructed with plastic surgery."
Ladies,
Have you heard the old joke...
What's the temperature inside a Tauntaun? Luke warm.
It actually makes perfect sense that Vader is Luke's father. Vader wasn't always Vader, he was a Jedi known as Anakin Skywalker, trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi but he turned to the dark side of the force when he lost his wife who died in childbirth.
So when Obi-Wan said that Luke's father died "because of Vader", he meant it sort of symbolically, meaning Anakin Skywalker died the moment he turned to the dark side and became "Darth Vader" instead.
No, Obi-Wan lied. Text from Episode 4 A New Hope. Obi-Wan: "A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father.”
@@billolsen4360 No, that’s a semantic argument and a weak one at that. He wouldn’t use Anakin’s name there because he doesn’t want to reveal the secret yet. It’s not a lie. You’re literally arguing over semantics and it’s ridiculous.
@@Fyrecide yeah right
The look they had on their faces when Luke's hand was cutoff was the same reaction I had as an 8 year old when I first saw it in the movie theater in 1980!
Terrific watching you guys walking through the BEST MOVIES EVER
Nice Leia buns, ladies!
"How can he join the darkside with this baby face?" haha very good point
How can you NOT love Ellie's face when Han cut open the tauntaun? I need to see that again.
This was the first movie I remember seeing. At a drive in theater, in Gatesville, Texas.
I could watch you two all day! Thanks for watching a great flick and sharing your laughter and beauty with us.
Many (including me) think this is the best movie of the series. My big question is why didn't Vader use the force to stop Luke from falling and capture him? He wasn't in a position to put up much of a fight at that point.
I think it may be a multifaceted reason. Luke effectively said “I would rather kill myself than be with and work with you,” which I think deeply hurt him, monster though he is. I think he wanted Luke to be willing to join him, not just forced into being there. Vader was also conflicted or becoming conflicted so his concentration would have been off too. Finally, it’s just cooler and sets up a better sequel.
I was a bit worried that Mish had a shade of the Dark Side about her for a while ... and then Luke lost his hand and I saw that it was that she is good at keeping her emotions masked. Those little signs she showed where it looked like Luke was lost reassured us where her path with the Force truly lies :).
Being stoic is anything but the dark side in SW
@@jagosevatarion8822 Very true, aye.
Tru shit: Mark Hamil got in a bad car wreck between IV and V and had face scars, which is why they put this opening scenerio where the monster smacks him in the face and he gets scarred by frost bite.
I think he had some 3rd degree burns from where some of the car interior melted onto his face. And it was a great way to explain his injuries. John Carpenter was going to do something similar for his cancelled The Thing sequel by saying Kurt Russel and Keith David looked older due to severe frostbite.
I cannot help myself - "That's what she said!" 6:16
Awww Ellie you made your hair like Leia's!!
Nice to see your reactions watching the originals in the right order, in the release order (the only real Star Wars imho), and with a fresh eyes not knowing much beforehand. Looking forward you to see the Return of the Jedi. Have fun ! 👍
"I am your father." The original line was going to be"no,Obi-Wan killed your father."imagine how the rest of the films could have gone.
"Leia buns ready - let's go!" Awesome.
"Will he regrow his hand" best line.
Congratulations, ladies. I slept in front of a theater in Boston to view the premier, introduced it to all my children. From this day on, the Wampa will be Chewbacca's girlfriend....
It's interesting that you have never seen the movies. It's good to see the movie at least to understand the references to them in memes, movies, etc.
This is one of my favorite audience reaction videos ever. Very heartfelt comments. Too bad about the choppy movie editing, which I'm sure was necessary for some reason.
2:22 "Faster, faster, come on, Force!" 😄
It's amazing how quickly you forget that these are FX and just get pulled into the story and what is happening. Holds up incredibly well even today. I know that some parts were added with CGI in the new versions, but like George Lucas said in an interview, they really didn't have to make that many changes to the original FX.
What Obi-Wan meant when he said Darth Vader killed his father was that his dark side overtook him.
These SW reactions have been great. Mish is a great addition to The Homies! She's funny and cool. Also, Ellie looked adorable with Leia's hairstyle
Ice monster: *roars*
Ellie: *roars back*
Girls never talk about how cool the tech is! LOL!
25:46 Surprise!
26:21 SURPRISE!!!
Ellie rocking the princess Leia hair 😍
New girl: he will grow his hand again?
Well... 😅
25:34 You were right, he (Vader) does have enough (more than enough) to beat him (Luke) Lol #GoDarkSide
"He's making balance with the rocks."
He's bringing balance to the Force.:>
Love this reaction! :) Do you have any idea how difficult it is for first time watchers to have never heard [the BIG spoiler] beforehand? Much less not necessarily recognizing [not so big spoiler] on first site?
"We have been trying to reach you regarding your hand's extended warranty."
You Both Missed one of the best lines in all of Star Wars. "I LOVE YOU" "I KNOW" at 20:55
First things first:
Awesome hair!!
Easily my favorite John Williams score. "Empire" is the best "Star Wars" movie and one of the greatest movies of all time.
Lando actually owned the millennium falcon but you'll have to watch solo to find out how Han got it
Love that y'all did Leia hair for your reaction--so cute! Can't wait for the next reaction. 🥰
And we spent three years arguing over whether Vader lied or not. :-D
27:00 did she really say “will he regrow his hand with the force” 🤣🤣
These two remind me of “Deiter” from the Sprocets SNL skit.
Ellie es lo más dulce de Internet en estos últimos meses... Me encanta cuando hace pucheros... I hope your learn spanish very soon!!!! Greetings from. Chile..
Not gonna lie that is the life of the empire for example if a soldier or officer or admiral fails a leader like Vader he would kill the person that failed and give a higher rank / promotion to someone else. and that new person becomes in charge of the army.
Poor Chewie who got R2 on his head when the hyperdrive was finally fixed :D
Gata say I LOVE seeing true real first reactions to the famous Vader Luke scene. So great!!! You didn’t even know! Awesome!
after the events of ROTJ Luke for a while actually did turn to the dark side it was thanks to his friends that he was eventually saved as well
If I had a dollar for every time I was drunk and heard, "ope, wrong hole"
“Chewbacca’s girlfriend” lol omg😂😂😂
"Chewbacca's girlfriend!" 😝
Good to see Russian Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz finally checking out the movie!
6:16 Girl: 'NOT IN THAT HOLE! WRONG HOLE!' What many girlfriends have said to their boyfriends on more than one occasion. 👌😁
Mark Hamill was in a car accident before this movie was made. They remade his face. When I first saw the Star Wars movies, I though they changed the actor.
The greatest movie ever made. Pacing, plot, performance, script, tone, gravitas and it gets REALLY dark. And when you boil it down its about a bunch of friends trying to escape in a spaceship that keeps breaking down.
Simplicity Clarice...
2:31 why did i hear the lightsaber close but the saber thing is still there
I love watching people first time react to starwars.
