Hey everyone! Just a heads up: I skipped the Dispute process and went straight to Appeal for this video. This means Disney has 7 days to respond. If they reject it, the video might get a DMCA takedown and I'll get a copyright strike. But don't worry-I've won all my Disputes, Appeals, and DMCA Counters before. If this video DOES get taken down, no worries, it'll be back once I submit a DMCA Counter, as long as RUclips doesn't get in the way... 🙄 Thanks for your support and understanding!
"Us fans" in San Diego heard from an ATV'r that "they were making a Star Wars Movie out at Buttercup Valley". So we all piled into out cars and raced out there to see it! Jabba's ship was HUGE, and we kinda saw the skiffs, Carrie on the deck, and Boba fly. We also got to talk to Mark through the fence for over an hour! Nicest guy ever!! What a cool experience! We went out there many times!!
@@petzxyThe tongue/mouth was always part of the sarlaac. They just for whatever reason in the orginal release didnt have it. Dont know the reason but they didnt add it.
Is it just me or is this the coolest movie action scene ever. Every time I'm in the mood to see a good action scene on YT, I think of this. I saw this for the first time when I was 6 years old and I just turned 45 and I still get goosebumps when AR2 opens his compartment ready to blast off the lightsabor.
Lucas should have never altered this scene. I find Han's original dialogue to be much better than "I can see a lot better now". Comes off as less sarcastic and more "I know I can't see I'm doing my best to help you". This holds up extremely well.
Wow! I didn't even realize that was altered. For the longest time, I always thought it was 'I can see a lot better,' but originally it was 'Trust me'? Good catch, my man! I agree, the original line feels more sincere and fitting for the scene.
This has bothered me for YEARS! This scene is my favorite of the trilogy and to alter "Trust me" was just...unnecessary. I love that it's back, at least here.
The shot of the Millenium Falcon coming right at us was almost overpowering on the big screen, with the engine sound blasting out of the THX. Everybody went, "WHOA!" and ducked. I was 16, and it was awesome.
Lando's "YEARGH!" when the Sarlacc grabs his leg makes me giggle every single time. Has for 40 (ye gods!) years now. :) (Also the disconcerted noise Vader makes when Luke kicks him down the stairs later on. Least intimidating Sith Lord moment. :)
Welcome and thanks for watching! I saw another upload of this in 4K but man it looked like garbage! Many have stated the 4K clips I've uploaded look way better than the 'official' released by Disney....Now I know what they're talking about...and wow I went on a bit of a tangent haha...anyway, glad you enjoyed!
I had no idea Han's original line was "Trust me!" instead of "It's alright I can see a lot better now!" Really neat to see this! I grew up on one of the 2000s DVD releases of the Special Editions, so the old Sarlacc and stuff like that were never in my version.
I'm sorry, this is the greatest shit alive! From opening weekend until now on RUclips and beyond. ❤ Thank you George and too your Team. Ya'll fuckin rule, man! ✊🏿
Definitely prefer the original sarlacc. And look at the Princess. Even though they're an entirely different species you can't blame Jabba for shackling a lovely wench like that. What a great scene. And many thanks for posting. May the Force be with you.. even if it's a bit dark x
I saw this in cinema back in 1983 and though I don't remember much from the first viewing (I was 13 years old), but this moment when they flew up in space I do remember the feeling and that was - Yeeah!! 🙂
Fun fact, the green lightsaber was initially a very big surprise to audiences considering nobody had ever seen or heard of a green lightsaber! Same kind of thing as the double-bladed lightsaber (however ROTJ had a much more positive audience reaction than TPM). The original trilogy is such a masterpiece ❤
Ah, I knew you were one of the two who requested an upload....I was scouring my comments trying to find who requested the Sail Barge Attack...was it you? I do recall you asking for the OG scenes of C-3PO and R2-D2 arriving on Tatooine...I was going to dedicate the video to those who made the requests....
You know, I think I liked the altered line of Han Solo saying “It’s all right I can see a lot better now!”. I wonder if Harrison Ford adlibbed that line but it ended up being altered in the final cut.
One of the worst things you can ever do - is watch one of the most anticipated films of all time - on a bootleg 4:3 VHS - on a 14 inch tv - one afternoon with the sun streaming through the windows - months before the film's release - instead of seeing it in a cinema.
I always felt sorry for 3-PO getting his eye bitten buy that nasty Jabba pet (forgive me my fellow OG fans) but R2 rushing to his friends aid was and always will be a bad ass droid move😂 Return of the Jedi remains special in my heart from the original trilogy. I know most fans at the time were disappointed but it was my first Star Wars movie and still my personal favorite.
I personally liked the beak because it gave the Sarlacc more character but that’s just a personal preference. I also get some laughter out of Boba Fett’s death even if it is unintentionally so.
@@colea2969 Yeah, i know he comes back in Mando (Season 2) and The Book of Boba Fett but I forgot about the latter. 😂 And I meant “death” figuratively.
Thanks for posting these. If you're looking for a new one to post again, I'd like to suggest the original Jabba Palace musical number scene with the Puppet Sy Snootles and Lapti Nek, also including the wipe cut between the end of the GONK torture to the start of the scene. So far I haven't seen any clip of it on YT in 4K.
You know, in the comic book adaptation the battle scene on the barge was much more detailed. Luke battled like ten or twelve of Jabba’s goons simultaneously.
Luke's obvious nod to Lando. Lando's obvious nod to Luke. Those henchmen should've been like, "Jabba! Wait, I just saw them nod to one another. They're about to plan something awful! It's a trap! Lando is a traitor!"
@@Logan_Zimmerman That's a SHADOW genius, not silver, anyone here can go through frame by frame and you can see the leg is GOLD the whole time - (with the exception of the ONE second that you reference that the leg was in shadow, on purpose.) What's it like to be so willingly blind that you ignore the obvious? Your generation wasn't even alive, and we all saw it in theaters, OURSELVES, not afterwards on digital after they changed it! And what do you have to say about 5:33, huh? Yeah, NOTHING.
I presume that Luke killed five people of Jabba's forces off screen. Didn't Leia do a bit of fighting before she pointed the gun at the deck of sail barge?
I always found it odd that Yoda and Obi-Wan advised against Luke going to save his friends on Bespin when they should have told him Lando had everything under control. He still went and everything worked out fine. Now see him here having everything under control. I don't get why Yoda and Obi-Wan had so little faith in him.
When Han keeps saying Boba Fett Boba Fett !!! He's so clumsy Cracking scene so much going on Lando rescuing Han Luke trying to bargain with Jabba R2 and 3PO escaping with Leia after she kills Jabba and all Jabbas men dying and of course Han kills Boba Fett And everyone avoiding the Sarlaac❤❤😊
In many science-fiction space movies peoples of the future wearing middle age stuff, looking like knights, and the space- and earth crafts - uhm, is that the technological future 🤔
Jabba must’ve been quite intoxicated for a tiny 90lbs little human to be able cut off the air and blood supply to his massively wide and strong and powerful neck like that. Like not saying Leia doesn’t also have force powers which she almost certainly used here, but Jabba just made it way easier by just being drunk and high off his ass.
Also, when Lando gets dragged by a tentacle of the sarlacc we hear a growl and he asked Han if he was blind? In the original he said “It’s all right, Trust me.” And in the special edition, he said “It’s all right I can see a lot better.”, I feel like the original line was more fitting than the one we got.

Man, I wish I grew up in the 70s and 80s
This sequence Is better than Episodes VII, VIII and IX together!
The whole OT or indeed *any* of the Original George Lucas six are better than the Sequels.
The Holiday Special is better then Episodes VII, VIII and IX

I never noticed the colours of the lightsabers as a child and I'll bet nobody else did either. Your information is bad.
2:15 For the longest time, I didn't realize Han additionally said "Where is he?", and assumed that was Boba saying "Freeze!"

Because it's a comedic masterpiece that trumps any canon
This was the first anyone had seen of the green lightsabre - the original trailer had it blue.

最高傑作！スターウォーズ！良かった！懐かしい！最高！新映画！楽しみですね！😊✨
Han didn't even bother questioning it, he still saved Lando as soon as his old buddy was calling for help.
Luke pauses to look into the Pit. "Huh. That's different."
I wonder how all the actors managed to climb out of that thing.
I personally liked the beak because it gave the Sarlacc more character but that’s just a personal preference.

Is jabba peeved over Boba’s demise?
My poor big sexy
return of the jedi best movie of starwars
Glad they squeezed a Wilhelm Scream in there
Ha! Classic Wilhelm scream. 1:51
5:50 cuuute scene 5:58
I never noticed before but when the top of Luke’s lightsaber appears out of R2D2 the top looks like it’s covered with a solid metal plate
1:01 baby wont be intimidated
This is a hundred times better than watching MaRey Sue Palpatine.
I grew up with the Special Edition and I dunno if that's my bias but I actually prefer the beak and "I can see a lot better now".
Luke, akin to Gimli could have said to Leia "But it counts as one!!!"
Always liked Luke’s choice of outfit….. Black, in the middle of a desert with two suns!
1:52
@5:06 and @5:33 = Gee, ...TWO gold Legs on C-3PO! Who would have known?

Yeah some of the original deleted footage showed Leia grabbing an axe and swinging/stabbing with it.
Nice! I thought I was one of the few doing this as well after seeing the team negative 1 and Harmy trilogy. Very cool! 🍻
Forgot how brutal Luke was with his lightsaber.
They just *CAN'T* make 'em like they used to.

Jabba, this is your last chance! Free us or die!
Poor Jabba I'd protect him and make love to jabba
Luke was tearing them apart😅
It's so anticlimactic without the beak and the way the music just stops like "Is that it, that's the Sarlacc???"

there should be a law that forbids altering classics with silly cgi nonsense.

Looks a bit like the Sandworm from Dune.
Bro the beak was the worst decision in my opinion
Its literally the same
Well, not exactly the same. No Sarlacc beak or extra tentacles.
Also, when Lando gets dragged by a tentacle of the sarlacc we hear a growl and he asked Han if he was blind? In the original he said “It’s all right, Trust me.” And in the special edition, he said “It’s all right I can see a lot better.”, I feel like the original line was more fitting than the one we got.
It's all so silly. When I saw it in 1983 it was amazing. But does it "hold up"? What does that even mean?
I don't care what anyone says but George should have added Jar Jar Binks to this scene.
