Thank you all SO MUCH for enjoying this movie with me! As a reminder, I am a month ahead on Patreon, meaning that my Episode VI: Return of the Jedi reaction is being posted on there today! patreon.com/emmereacts
The reaction to ROTJ will be GOATED
So excited for this
Great video.
By the way, "The Mandalorian" takes place after "Return of the Jedi." It was created to connect Episode 6 with Episode 7.
excellent reaction as always and absolutely loving the bangs!!
In the Clone Wars, there was an episode where Anakin Ashoka, Rex and others were frozen the same way Han Solo was to escape detection when they snuck onto the Citadel prison planet to rescue Tarkin and the short Jedi (Forgot his name)
“I love you” / “I know.” is in my opinion among the best improvisations in Hollywood history. George Lucas originally wanted Han to say ‘I love you too’ but Harrison Ford improvised it as a simple “I know” which suits Han’s character so much better. He spent the entire film trying to get Leia to admit how she felt. When she finally does, it’s basically “well duh!”
People nowadays seem to hate that line
@@candidob8683 i agree, and im 24. Was fortunate enough to have my parents shove the vhs of these movies in my eye holes whem I was very young.
Ohhhh now that's some good interpretation there
Director Irvin Kershner encouraged Harrison Ford to come up with a fitting response, since both of them felt that the screenplay didn't provide one. It paid off.
Nah 😂that will NEVER be cool! No time for pride in a moment like that , just say “I love you too!”
The reason they tortured Han wasn't for information, it was because Vader knew of the connection Luke had with his friends, and if he tortured them, he knew Luke would feel it through the force, as he did, and come running. The point of the freezing with carbonite is because Vader wants to transport Luke to the Emperor, and keeping a Jedi prisoner, if he is conscious, would be extremely dangerous, even if he is shackled, he can still control minds, move things with the force, and is extremely powerful. Freezing Han was just a test to see if that facility could freeze a human successfully without killing them, because Vader didnt want to risk killing Luke.
Yes, Vader knew he could trap Luke that way because of his experience sensing his mother in pain when she was captured by the Tuskin Raiders.
you can't catch a force user with anything...remember Maul in CloneWars season 7 or Kenobi in Ep2
But he was not a jedi, yet.
@@jabecker21 Well no, because this came out 20 years before _Attack of the Clones._
@@sixstanger00 I realize that, I saw
Empire in the theater about 15 times when it was originally released, but if you look at the story chronologically that is exactly what happened. If I say that Anakin became Darth Vader and then killed Obi-Wan are you going to say "no, because A New Hope came out 20 years before Revenge of the Sith"? Don't be a goof.
"It's like I'm reuniting with friends." That's been the primary appeal of Star Wars to fans ever since this movie came out.
yeah especially that star wars was the movie that popularized creating a movie universe, before, it was considered weird and people liked movies to be standalone more, so as you said, fans loved the reuniting with friends
i learned about that recently and i was quite surprised, its kinda crazy how impactful star wars was
The reason Luke looks abit different is because Mark Hamill was in a car accident just before they started filming this. They included the scene with the Wampa (yeti) and his face getting injured to explain away his accident and scars.
Oh wow, that’s really interesting! And really sad and scary for the actor.
Hamill’s accident occurred before the first film was released, not just before _Empire_ began filming, and Lucas has denied that the Wampa was added to cover for Hamill’s scars.
@@markhamstra1083 The accident ocurred after Mark Hamill finished filming episode 4...and ended up with a fractured nose and cheekbone. Maybe the Wampa scene was just a "coincidence" but helped to explain the change of Luke´s face.
@@juancarlosgonzalezmartinez8793 No, the accident occurred before filming was completed for the first film. Hamill was actually on his way to a _Star Wars_ shoot when he went off the road, and Lucas had to shoot a few scenes for the first movie using a body double while Hamill was hospitalized and in recovery. For more than 40 years, a lot of misinformation and mythology has been repeated about Hamill’s accident and the Wampa.
@@markhamstra1083 Of course, the accident happened before episode 4 finished filming,...but I never said that "the movie" had finished filming, I said that Hamill had finished filming his parts in episode 4. His accident put production in trouble ONLY in case Hamill had to do some reshoots.
To be fair emme, a Skywalker losing their hand is like a right of passage, his father was just helping him along.
Lucas has the thing people losing hand or arm. Its like Quentin Tarantino doing close shots of peoples feet in his movies. Its not a Star Wars unless someone loses a limb or two.
@@thejamppa Shows Lucas not being in charge of the sequels. Was watching someone review the Force Awakens earlier, and they kept thinking repeatedly that one of the characters was about to loose a hand/ arm in the scene where Finn, Rey and Kylo are fighting in the forest.
@@nathancline4000 to be fair it always happen in the 2nd movie of the trilogy and ep7 was the 1st
🤣🤣🤣
Han forcing the Falcon to start like it’s an old TV is seriously one of my favorite scenes of the trilogy😂
Yeah it's like me with my old VCR before it clonked out
Kids won't get that joke now. Hitting the old TV did work sometimes too!
Maybe even a call back to the Fonz.
Couple of notes:
- Vader was not seriously fighting Luke, he was just playing with him, so that he would join him.
- Yoda pretended to be a hermit at the beginning so that he could test Luke and his patience (R2 knowing Yoda and the importance of Luke, just played along to help) I think in some book to the move they acknowledged each other after that and are happy to be reunited again
- definitely finish clone wars before watching Episode 6
Super fun to watch, keep it up! 😄
She has already watched the clone wars
If you notice when Leia is talking to the pilots, Han is working in the background and stops to listen to her. Shows that he really cares about her
Leia kissing Luke in the med bay was 100% her trying to piss-off Han at that moment; it had 0% actual romantic intent behind it. Obviously she has love for Luke, and kissing him was also a genuine expression of that love (and, I should note this was immediately after he was rescued from death, so such an expression is even more natural), but she was totally playing it up, to shove it in Han's face.
I mean, I just think it's a misread to see any genuine sexual interest in that scene...
I'd like to add, Luke's sister was supposed to be another character in Episode 7. But George Lucas didn't think he could get all the cast to come back, so he inserted the plot in Episode 6 and made it Leia.
@@One.Zero.One101 More specifically, the original Episode VI was going to end on a cliffhanger, which wouldn't get paid off until the sequel trilogy of VII-IX "around 2011" (in which Luke meet his sister, and would finally face the Emperor in IX). Gary Kurtz, producer of the OT, argued this was a totally unresolved way to end the trilogy, and since there'd be no immediate follow-up for nearly 30 years wouldn't work as a functioning end of the story. Lucas was convinced, and combined his ideas for VI-IX into one single movie.
Hence Lucas originally SCRAPPED his plans for sequels altogether (there have been three planned STs at different points), feeling all his remaining ideas had been resolved in VI which left nowhere left to go. However, around 2012, he came up with a NEW concept for a different ST... but felt he was no longer interested in making SW films and sold Lucasfilm to another company to do it instead. They "scrapped" (this is pretty exaggerated) his plan, and came up with a third concept for the ST that we got instead (basically Lucas' ideas for VII were split up into two films, which became VII and VIII, with his VIII and IX ideas getting scrapped entirely in favor of a completely original idea for IX).
Just three favorite moments from this reaction:
13:08 "Have a nice trip. See you next fall."
14:36 "I want to touch those walls. That looks like a nice texture. It reminds me of, like, meringue."
15:50 "Blip blop. So true, R2. Say it again for the people in the back."
Aside from Ewan McGregor’s performance as Obi-Wan my favorite aspect of the prequels is Anakin sensing the pain of his mother across the galaxy. That’s how he knew all he had to do was torture Leia, Han and Chewie and Luke would sense it and come. They can’t understand why they are being tortured and not asked any questions.
05:40 "So now we just have a one armed Yeti on the loose?" This made me actually laugh out loud.😄
Here's what happened to the Yeti. ruclips.net/video/fZvHwuh5MGE/видео.html
@@tedgmusic lol I forgot all about that
The one armed yeti later killed Richard Kimble's wife. (see THE FUGITIVE)
@@tedgmusic HAHAHHA OMG this was amazing, I had never seen this until just now, and after recently dislocating and fracturing my shoulder, I can totally relate!
I laughed out loud to myself when she said "now we have an ice chewbacca".
One of the greatest sequels in history, with one of the greatest plot twists in history. This is also the film that introduced Yoda, Dagobah, the Emperor, and the Imperial March.
And perhaps more importantly than all of these, gave us taun tauns!
One of the greatest Hollywood movies of all time.
And Cloud City!
“I am your father” was the biggest plot twist ever and really the main reason fans say to watch in release order.
She knew it already tho
@@HeisenStark13 you have to think most people do know that whether they've seen star wars or not. Even tho it's misquoted, "Luke, I am your father" is pop culture 101. It's like Terminator saying "I'll be back" or Leo in Titanic saying "I'm king of the world!"
I feel like when people react to star wars in release order and act surprised that Vader is Luke's father, 80% of the time they're just playing it up for the camera to try and make a good reaction. Like you gotta be basically pop culture illiterate, or like extremely young and sheltered your whole life. I think chronological order is the right move for most reactors.
Yup. I was in such shock, I actually turned to my friend in the theatre (who had seen it the day before) and I asked her, "Did that happen when you saw it"? Like they'd have released different versions in different theatres, lol. But I was SO STUNNED!
@@jimmymcgill2772 Great point Jimmy.... You were a good lawyer too.
@@benjaminroe311ify I tried, but my brother was kind of a dick
"I'm really hoping Luke and Leia don't kiss..."
Oh, really.... (snicker)
I came here looking for this comment as soon as I heard her say that, lol.
I think they should have taken that out in subsequent releases
@@officialmonarchmusic No, that's beyond idiotic.
@@derpderpin1568Why?
When Luke escaped, Vader didn't kill Admiral Piett because he really wanted to have his son by his side. He was genuinely dismayed at his own failure. I think he fought Luke believing he was not in fact the son of Anakin, but in spending time around him, their connection to the Force made Vader realize the truth. You can also see the sadness in Vader when he first tells Luke he's his father, and when Luke let's go of the stand and falls, Vader's outstretched hand falls in dismay. Go back and rewatch it with these tidbits in mind, and you'll recognize the signs. They did a great job in showing emotion through an emotionless mask/helmet.
I mean, how upsetting would it be if your son you thought was dead chose death instead of being with you. He didn't die, but neither of them knew that.
@@Kjf365 indeed
@@Kjf365 True and we now know how Anakin was once a very good person ruled by his emotions so we understand why he would be disappointed here. But Luke only really knows him as the greatest evil the galaxy has ever seen at this point. It's like if irl if you suddenly found out your father was alive and he's one of the greatest mass murderers the world has ever seen. Would you be excited to spend time with him?
Also Piett is one of the more capable Imperial commanders and Vader knows that
If you remember back in episode 4 when Leah first met Han her first words were as arrogant as Han. "I see you managed to cut off our only escape route" which prompted Hans arrogant response. This exchange opened up the war of words between the two because they both liked each other from the beginning but hated themselves for it. So they took it out on each other until they finally lowered their guard and acknowledged their love. It's a two way street here not just a nasty Han.
I was going to say this too. Han and Leah were just sorting their feelings out and theres nothing wrong with the events shown here.
It’s Leia
@@LuchtLeiderNederland You're right. I always misspell it. I'm not good at spelling
42:25, Vader wanted to test the freezing technology on Han Solo so that he can freeze Luke and bring him to the Emperor. Freezing Han Solo is also beneficial to Boba Fett who needs to capture Han cause Han owes a debt to Jabba the Hutt.
Great reaction as always! Keep up the good work!
12:05 - WWI era planes after had a gunner seated behind the pilot, and he had a gun that would able to swivel but would often be rear-facing to shoot. WWII planes had mainly advanced to single-person fighters that fired front-facing, though larger bombers, etc would often have gunner turrets (usually underbelly) similar to the Millennium Falcon’s gun turret.
Came down to see if anyone had answered that question👍
There’s 3 years between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. That’s why there was tension between Leia and Han because they grew to like each other over time but both had too much pride to admit it. Han didn’t just come on to her after several arguments a few weeks after meeting her as it might appear. There’s 1 year between Empire and RotJ.
Yep 2-3 years between Episode 4 to 5 and 1 year to episode 6. Great analysis!
10:48 when you mention Luke and Han's 'brotherly connection', indeed you're right. The characters (and the actors' abilities) had grown to the point where they didn't have to say anything to show they cared for one another's safety. Just a glance and an awkward 'aw shucks' smile told us all we needed to know.
Yoda is simply testing Lukes patience. Hence why he is acting like a goofball
8:09 Rogue Squadron is comprised of survivors of the Red and Gold squadrons that destroyed the Death Star in the previous film. Since the release of "Rogue One" it has been established that the squadron is named in honour of the fallen heroes who retrieved the data that enabled that victory.
There were 2 meanings behind Luke's face being behind the Vader mask. The first was that if he was not careful he would fall just as Anakin had years back and become the next Sith lord. The second is that Luke was not ready to take on a foe at Vader's level and if he tried the odds were high, he would not only lose but not survive the encounter. Which became partly true later on.
When I saw the movie at the cinemas I presumed that Luke was related to Darth Vader. But everyone already in Australia knew this because the movie was released six months after the US release. We would always get movie news after the national US release through the media. Back in those days, the trailers and media was the only source where moviegoers would be informed about movies.
Yes, when we were watching this live in 1980, we thought it was some kind of a clue of Luke fighting against himself that would lead to the Dark Side. Of course, it was really prepping us for the big reveal. Such perfect filmmaking!
Decades ago this was everyone's first ever introduction to Yoda
I was 16 Years old in 1980 when I saw this in the movie Theatres. Everyone was stunned when Vader told Luke He was his Father!
I was 14. I was so stunned!
It’s one of the biggest plot twists in movie history.
Not me. the Comic book came out before the movie. Some kid ran in the 5th grade classroom and told everyone the greatest plot twist in cinematic history.
“He’s done a lot of falling lately; this’ll be easy for him.” Funny line
"Chewbacca, turn around! I can't see!"
"You don't wanna C-3P0" is my new favorite unintentionally genius line ever uttered by a react RUclipsr lol
Llama kangaroo, possibly the best description I have ever heard. Love watching these movies with you.
1. The speeders during the Battle of Hoth was the same vehicle that picked up Obi-Wan from Fortress Inquisitorius after he rescued Leia.
2. Luke and Leia were NEVER meant to be siblings when George Lucas created Star Wars. He only made them twins because originally Lucas had created in his mind Luke's twin sister who we were suppose to meet in Episode 7. One draft had Luke turn to the dark side and his sister redeems him. But when Lucas was closing out the original trilogy (episodes 4-6), he decided at the time since he was mentally worn out with Star Wars that he would close it up at Episode 6 and decided on making Leia his twin sister instead.
3. "There is another" as Yoda replied to Obi-Wan was a reference to the unknown twin sister that Lucas had in mind. The problem at the time is Lucas wasn't planning on it being Leia and at the same time she's captured by Vader with the unknown of her fate which was why Luke left without completing his training.
4. The torturing of Han Solo was to draw out Luke because Vader knew he would feel it and come to him.
5. The bounty hunter that helped capture Han Solo and left with him to bring to Jabba was Boba Fett. As you know he's the "unaltered clone" of Jango Fett we see as a 10-year-old boy in Attack of the Clones. Boba still has that ship that Jango used in AOTC that Obi-Wan fought in the Geonosis asteroid field.
6. I thought you saw the episode of the Clone Wars where Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and clones froze themselves into carbonite to sneak into a Separatist base called The Citadel to rescue Tarkin in Season 3. I was expecting a different reaction when Han was frozen was all.
7. When Luke drew his lightsaber right away when he found Vader on Cloud City, you can see the anger in his eyes because he believed that Vader killed his father and he was feeling vengeful. Had Luke finished his training, Yoda and Obi-Wan were going to tell him Vader is his father. But he left early so he found out from Vader himself instead.
22:50 Vader already knew about his son at this point, which was shown in one of the Darth Vader comics. In this scene he's feigning ignorance to conceal his plans of using Luke to overthrow Sidious.
The Imperial Officers were expecting Vader to kill one of them at the end. He didn’t because he was too sad to be angry. After being alone for so long he finds out he has a son. And what happens when he finally tracks him down? His son would rather jump to his death than rule the galaxy with him. Of course it’s all Vader’s fault to begin with, but Luke’s rejection was still heartbreaking moment for Vader
You don't have to wait 3 years for answers! Glad you still got shocked at some of the reveals in this episode.
This movie and "Revenge of the Sith" are in my opinion the best movies of all Star Wars
yes this is the only correct opinion
Same
That's how we all feel, buddy.
Rouge One and episode 4 too in my opinion
@@FroschImp episode 4 is just classic, its amazing in that sense, but its just not up to standard and amateur in many aspects, ep V on the other hand is a cinematic masterpiece
"Not gonna yuck your yumm"
freakin' brilliant!!!
They were just testing the freezing chamber on Solo. They wanted Luke to be incapacitated for the trip to the Emperor.
R2D2 knew Yoda was pretending to be a hermit. They were both in on it.
I love it when the generation before me (not like I'm ancient here, hello, but you get it) discovers the art or pop culture that a lot of us have grown up with. It's like when my brothers passed on their vinyl to me & I was like "WHAT IS THIS?!'
So when the reveal comes & people are still surprised or shocked at it, it's like reliving those moments through the eyes of someone else, y'know?
I saw this in theaters when it came out when I was kid in 1980, I feel old lol. Everyone was shocked when it was revealed that Vader was Luke’s father! We didn’t have spoilers back then lol
This is the arguably the best movie in the entire franchise. It’s my favorite!
It's certainly the defining movie.
@@justincrowley8787 also defining for Vader’s character. This is the movie that’s make him so iconic imo.
I saw it in the theater also. NOBODY saw it coming.
Now everyone pretends that they knew. They lie!
My favorite is ROTJ. If Vader's character got boosted with this one, he became amazing in that movie
@@officialmonarchmusic yes
i'm new to your channel, and i don't think you realize just how good, interesting, charming and insightful your reactions are ☺️👍🏻
I like to think Vader killing those who fail him as actually relating to his own frustration and obsession with finding Luke. He takes his own rage out on others.
I guess there is that, but also most of these admirals are only there because they are related to someone important and not because they earned their place which is upsetting to Vader to say the least. So when they fail at their frankly simple tasks, they aren't forgiven easily.
If you don't practice with the Force, you lose.
44:45 “A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” It’s interesting going into these with a Clone Wars perspective first, because who ignite their saber first here? Who strikes first?
Just like Yoda was testing Luke with his silliness, Vader here tests Luke.
Great reaction! May the Force be with you, always.
"Knowledge and defense" was totally what Yoda was doing when he tried to assassinate Palpatine at the end of Episode III.
"Join you?! Over my dead 3PO!" Bahahah 🤣
I love seeing Frank Oz as Yoda in this (Frank is also Bert and Oscar the Grouch in Sesame Street and Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Animal in the Muppet Show) He is so good bringing characters to life. Back in 1980 they were actually afraid the fandom would take a "Muppet" seriously in Star Wars, but almost all did. and was a huge success.
17:47 Yes! When he was chasing Jango and Boba Fett. That's why Boba was able to recognize when Han did the same thing, hiding below the Star Destroyer and sneaking away with the debris. He'd seen Obi-Wan play a similar trick all those years ago.
I love how you said, " I"m going to read it this time ... then 5 minutes later, you're like " what are those things".
"Awwe, he just dropped Artoo...I won't stand for it!"
Nice word play.
"Have a nice trip, see ya next fall!" lol That is an oldie but a goodie. I learned that one in my teens and I am a septuagenarian.
the gunner behind the pilot of the snow speeder has his own small gun turret aimed rear. he also controls the tow-cable system and some other minor tasks to give the pilot more freedom for concentrated flight maneuvers.
"How are we going to find Yoda?" Well, there is a lucky coincidence that we splash landed on this planet just a few meters away from where Yoda lives.
Vader learned about luke before the emperor told him. He hired Boba fett to find out the name of the pilot that destroyed the death star. Boba came back to him with the name skywalker. I think he was the one too that killed Luke's aunt and uncle, when vader tells him, no disintegration
To be fair, Mark Hamill had been in a serious car crash in between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, in which he fractured his nose and left cheekbone, so his appearance isn't just, that he's 3 years older. You are not the first or last person who couldn't tell if that was Luke, immediately upon seeing him in this.
John Williams score for “The Imperial March” was inspired (some say ‘lifted’) from Gustav Holst’s ‘The Planets’, a set of nine songs each accompanying one of the planets and it’s theme, with Williams’ inspiration coming from “Mars: The Bringer Of War”.
I was fortunate enough to see John Williams at the age of 92 conduct the LA Phil doing his greatest hits at Hollywood Bowl this summer, along with many other film and Star Wars fans.
53:50 you know Vader is defeated/sad when he just looked back and forth at his son, rejected. then proceeds not killing those who failed him.
"How is Luke going to get out?"
Ahem...'single-handedly.'
"Luke, Don't give into hate... THAT leads to the dark side" and "Strong is Vader, mind what you have learned... save you it can" are such impactful lines after having seen all the canon. Such good last minute advice they gave Luke after they saw he was determined to go.
Vader actually found 3p0 in pieces on the conveyer belt. He picked 3p0s head up and stared for awhile. Then he was reminded of his previous life and got pretty upset, put 3p0s head back on the belt and left.
When in extreme cold weather with no shelter, and a big animal dies recently, staying within the animal is an extreme survival technique in real life. Not the nicest one, but it is a trade off between doing that or dying frozen.
Emme! Watching your Star Wars Journey has been so heartwarming ❤. Can’t wait for Return of the Jedi!!
"You don't wanna see - 3PO" Lol
The Empire Strikes Back is largely considered the highest quality Star Wars movie of all of them, in large part to the contribution of Irvin Kershner's directing. This was Lucas's only collaboration with Kershner and that was because of difference of opinion that Kershner loved Lucas's vision of the trilogy, but believed character development and dialogue was very important and deserved more time on screen, and Lucas believed the greatness all came from the other aspects of the movie, particularly innovative visual effects, which was what made the first movie so popular. They parted ways after this movie, and even as good as Return of the Jedi was, it didn't have the same high quality character development and dialogue. And the prequels REALLY suffered from poor dialogue.
Also, John Williams is the greatest movie music composer of all time. He's the man. I absolutely love Star Wars music and occasionally pull up RUclips to listen to other movies' music from John Williams, such as Superman, Indiana Jones, E.T., Jaws, Harry Potter and Jurassic Park.
It took me a long time to admit I was disappointed by RotJ, as I stood in line to see the first showing at The Egyptian in Hollywood. Even though I love she scenes (Luke/ Vader/Emperor) it isn't a very good film and kinda predicts what Lucas would do with the prequels. 🤷♀️
When I was a kid I went to comic con with my dad and I ended up meeting Peter Mayhew just just casually walking around. He had a conversation with me and shook my hand, he REALLY was a giant. Meant a lot to me.
“You’re the worst dad ever!”😂
That line was funny, but the “breakfast at Vader’s” quote had me laughing hard.😂🤣
The point of freezing Han was just a test, so they could use it on Luke. Since Luke can use the force, that would make escape pretty easy for him. So the plan was to transport Luke to the Emperor frozen, so he couldn't get away during the trip. They didn't want to kill him in the process, so Han was the guinea pig so to speak. And if he would have died, Darth would have just paid the bounty to Boba Fett, and that would have been that.
A little gymnastics is indeed part of Jedi training lol
When they reached the Luke/Leia kiss scene, George Lucas had not yet decided to make them twins. It was merely Leia trying to prove Han wrong, and Luke gloating about the kiss.
20:15 Realize that, at this point in 1981 NO ONE had seen Yoda. No one knew that this was the great Jedi Master Yoda...
Idk why people hate Lando here. His “deal,” was just doing the best in a worst situation and he made up for it.
According to Mark Hamill the "I am your father" scene was originally shot with DV telling Luke that Obi Wan killed Annikin ...so his reaction was not from learning that DV was his father. The director came to MH and told him in confidence what the real line was and James Earl Jones recorded the iconic line. MH said that at premiere Harrison Ford turned to him and said "hey kid you didn't tell me". 🙂
Yes, but The director told him BEFORE the secne was filmed so his reaction was from learning that Vader was his father.
@@juancarlosgonzalezmartinez8793 I've heard MH say he was told after and his reaction was from David Prowse saying during actual filming that Obi Wan killed his father so the reaction was still stunning to Luke.
There would have been no reason to tell him at all, if they had already filmed the scene, they might just as well have kept it to themselves. ( Like they didn't tell David Prowse at all, because he didn't need to know.) And that is not the way Mark Hamill tells the story.
@@bernice6867 he has told it numerous times but the one that is most out there is when he was on Graham Norton Show.
Raybernal The one where he sits next to Daisy Ridley? I watched it again, and while I now that you mentioned it see how you came to your conclusion I am sure it is a misunderstanding on your part. He first explains that they filmed it with "Obi-Wan killed him" and than explains that Irvin Kirshner handed him a piece of paper with the real text, but that does not mean at all that this happened afterwards, which would not make any sense what so ever.
"My sweet summer child, Artoo"
LOL Nobody tell her that his beeps and whistles usually translate to a continuous stream of obscenities and off-color remarks that would put any sailor to shame.
I love how often you say "fascinating" which is a classic Spock quote (Star TREK) 😁
Usually Yoda isn’t such a goofball, but when you take refuge on the same planet for 20 years, you tend to act out. 😅
He's also testing Luke, who fails.
This is such an odd way of re-experiencing this series for the first time.
I mean like...re: Childish Gambino!? I am not dissing the journey you're taking, I'm only acknowledging the vast difference from my own journey.
And I love it.
...I know.
"I know we can't play catch because I just cut off one of your hands, but you can trust me as co-ruler of the galaxy, son."
My favorite meme about this movie, is Homer Simpson walking out of the theater saying aloud "I can't believe Darth Vader is Luke's father" in front of a line of moviegoers waiting to enter to the next show.
Vader's original plan was to freeze Luke and bring him to the emperor. They tested it on Han to make sure that it was safe because it was too big of a risk to try it on Luke. Obviously, they never managed to get Luke in it
lol..."ok Leia. I'm not about to yuck your yum." Classic :D
During World War 2 (WWII) they used plans with rear facing seats for the secondary crew members, in combat being the gunner to defend the plane from attacks from the rear, in particular the bombers (like dive bombers) and torpedo bombers such as the Grumman TBF Avenger). Was Avenger was used in the US Navy, Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, and Royal New Zealand Air Force.
If you want to see a movie that they are used a lot, check out the movie Midway (1976 release). I haven't seen the latest one, but I've actually met the pilot from the actual event of what the movie was about. He was the lone survivor of a torpedo squadron who was shot down while attacking the Japanese Carrier Task Force. This is a War movie made in the 70s with a lot of well known actors. Including Pat Morita (Mr Miyagi from Karate Kid [1984] and the sequels of the original) was in this movie, but much younger. So if you ever want to watch something during a veteran type of holiday like Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, July 4th, etc this is a good old movie with a lot of action in it.
You will also get a chance to see planes that have a rear facing crew member in the smaller planes. Larger planes like the B-24 and B-17 are larger sized bombers with turrets on top, bottom, back, and sides in addition to the nose gunner.
It's easy to think about how Luke is feeling, when Darth reveals that He's Luke father, but just think about how it would feel to tell someone that and get Luke's reaction in return. I think the way that Vader doesn't even flinch reveals a bit about how he feels about himself. He's totally numb to being hated and on some level he probably thinks he deserves it, although he is still narcissistic enough to think that his offer should be appealing. Much like in the prequels we can see that he doesn't really understand nor care to understand anyone else's perspective. If he did, he may have realized by now that most people fear the emperor more, but they HATE him more, because he's the one who's been personally, Ruthlessly oppressing people for decades.
“Do or do not. There is no try.” A legendary quote that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever since you can’t do something without trying.
I’ve seen this movie so many times and it’s only now clicking that Chewie cared so much for C3PO compared to the others.
The yeti like creature is called a Wampa. In the scene where Luke escapes its cave and that moment when Obi-Wan first comes to Luke it was so cold out outside that filming of the scenes was done 15 feet from the entrance of the hotel the cast and crew were using.
The holographic image of the emperor was actually a different actor in the original release of the film. The role for episode VI had not yet been cast.
Man, I'm glad I brought my Grater for all the cheesiness.
"Over my dead '3PO!!" Lmao🤣❤
In World War II, some aircraft would have a rear gunner who would sit with their back to the pilot and use their weapon to discourage anyone from attacking them from the rear.
The gas that is extract on Bespin is not just fuel for starships, is also ammonition for blasters and cannons, since they're pretty common weapons compared to lightsabers, which they are pure energy blades generated by a crystal, that's why Bespin is one of the richest systems in the galaxy but never as Cantonica
Darth looks so good in this one. He must have that new car smell!! So shiny!!
2:31 so Luke is riding a Taun taun, Taun taun’s were a species of non-sentient lizards native to the snowy plains of Hoth. They were used by members of the Rebel Alliance after they domesticated some of them when they built their new headquarters on Hoth.
The asteroid field theme of the soundtrack is sooo good. John Williams is a genius
"why do we want him like that?" -
Regarding Han: As a test before trying it on Luke.
Regarding Luke: I would imagine Force powers are rather inhibited when all processes are frozen. They could take their time setting up an ideal space for unfreezing him.
Emme 2 seconds after learning about the asteroid worm: Why did that creature have creatures inside of it.
Me: 42 years and 30 seconds before Emme: why did that creature have creatures inside of it.
I don't know why it took me nearly my entire life to think of that & it took Emme like 5 seconds. I guess I've just never really watched Star Wars with a super realistic look before. But watching that scene for maybe the 128320th time I was just really into the worm's biology. Like how was it surviving the vacuum of deep space. What did it eat & how could other creatures survive inside it? It must eat something where the byproduct is something the mynocks can eat.
I really think you should be a comedian Emme.👍😂
These are the moments that had me laughing:

“Smell yah later loser.” 53:42 🤣
There used to be back in WW2 a pilot would sit front seat and a rear gunner sat rear. Both on the US and Japan sides, coming across one or worse a pair of those type of aircraft could prove to be very deadly due to those rear gunners' angle of fire. Both sides suffered casualties as a result of getting caught in the crossfire. X marks the spot actually came from these types of battles because often those aircraft that went down would be in the center of lines of bullets forming an X coming from two aircraft.
There are 2 reasons why Yoda pretends to not be Yoda when Luke meets him:
The first is because Yoda is in hiding. He is presumed dead and wants to keep it that way. He knows that if the wrong person finds him, it will lead to his death.
And the second is because Yoda isn't exactly famous, and it has been over 20 years since anyone else had seen him. Luke came to Dagobah looking for "a great warrior", expecting Yoda to be tall and strong. That's how I remember imagining Yoda when I watched this for the first time as a kid. Not someone who was old, short, and physically fragile.
I know it wasn't intentional but Emme's face at 50:17 is priceless considering how crushing this was for Luke XD
The lightsabers' colors have been enhanced in this remastered version. I find the Vader Luke fight quite beautiful now
Those injuries on Mark Hamill's face are actually real. before those scenes were shot Mark got into a very serious car wreck and even today still carries the scars from it.
In some WW2 aircraft, gunners were seated in the opposite way to the pilot but only for self desence turrets against enemy fighters. Pilots and navigators were seated forward to better see where they were going.
Obi Wan hid from Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones by landing on the back of an asteroid in the Geonosis rings.
Of course Yoda knows who Luke is, he saw him be born !
Bounty hunters often transport their preys while frozen so they take less space in the cargo hold (if they don't have a brig) and less ressources because they don't need to be fed, the carbon freeing plaque has its own power source to be autonomous for months and months. You wil see what I mean in the Mandalorian series.
And remember Anakin, Ashoka, Obi Wan and party got frozen to infiltrate The Citadel in Clone Wars.
