Peter Mayhew did indeed portray Chewbacca one last time in The Force Awakens. He retired from the role in 2017, passing the baton to Finish actor Joonas Suotamo. RIP Peter
Peter Mayhew was only in the scenes where he was sitting down, the Finnish actor played Chewie for most of The Force Awakens too. Mayhew retired from the role after this film, which was 2015.
Peter played Chewie in some scenes (health; hip-replacement joints, age) and Joonas did the more active scenes -then continued in "Solo" and the next two episodes. Joonas has been a pro-Basketball athlete, from Finland. There is an extra on the Blu-ray of "Solo" showing how J'S' worked and learned to be Chewbacca, including him in Wokkie dunking a Basketball ☺

I have to say, this is my favorite Star Wars movie. Not for any reasons I can argue with but simply because it makes me the happiest. It reminds me of a simpler time when the whole world pretty much was hyped for the new Star Wars movie. Merch was everywhere, people were saying may the force be with you often, the Disney parks were going nuts with awesome promotional stuff. Fans old and new came together for an altogether super fun movie and it was a Christmas blockbuster. I saw it in the theater 6 times with different people and it was magical each time. So yeah, this movie puts the biggest smile on my face because I was there for it and I just love it
He wanted them to kill Han back in 1983. The only thing that disappointed me was that he had always thought Han should die in a moment of heroic self-sacrifice. Definitely not what happens here. Here it seems sort of cheap.
It kinda is heroic self sacrifice. He loves Leia an their son but knows how incredibly dangerous Kylo is. But Leia asked him to get their son back and he tries it, knowing it could be very dangerous. It's kinda what Luke tries when he surrenders to Vader in VI (you know it has to rhyme) but although Han believes it to work for a second - it is not. It's very tragic. I think It's an incredible scene and like the duel on Bespin, the Canto Bight mission, Qi'ras departure or Rogue One shows us, that not always everything is working. It's life.
I remember the "star wars media swing" all the actors did for Force Awakens, talk shows etc. Harrison leaked it so I knew in March of that year that when I saw the movie in December that Han would be killed off.
But he passed away in 2019, april, 30th. He was still alive by the making of this movie. Sadly that was not the case for the next one. If he was still alive, he was in no condition to play Chewbacca anymore.
@@AXSLA3 He was barely in The Force Awakens since he could barely walk anymore and had a lot of health issues. Most of the time it was this young actor who played Chewie in the other sequels and in "Solo". They basically put Mayhew in a few shots so they could promote this movie with him, as a proper reunion of all the old cast.
@@georgezee5173 Basicaly you will have Peter Mayhew the few tims Chewie is seated, and only has to "roar" some lines. I know that. Everythime Chewie is standing is the other actor.
Simon Pegg is only the second actor to complete the "Sci-Fi/Fantasy Trifecta" of Doctor Who, Star Trek (the reboot movies with Chris Pine), and Star Wars.
That was Peter Mayhew playing Chewbacca. At least some of the time. He had double knee replacement surgery before filming began and was largely wheelchair bound during filming so he shared the role with another actor. When he died of a heart attack in 2019 the other actor took over the role.
The island, where Luke is in isolation, is off the coast of Ireland. It is a World-heritage protected location. If one takes a tour, there is a limit, of people who can be on the island at one time - same as actors and film crew. The Irish island is where Christian Monks lived, centuries past, in isolation - so, a Jedi, alone, it works. Next movie!
Except the bowcaster was shown to cartwheel armored humans 17 feet through the air when shot but also barely affects an unarmored human on a narrow rail-less span of metal 2,000 feet above an abyss. cool cool cool So glad they included all of that
Yeah I know I wish there was more trade federation, jar jar child actors, 10 minute pod races, sand, wooden actors and cgi sets with people sitting in rooms and talking. Lucas didn't fuck up star wars at all.
Now that you've seen this you absolutely must watch Saturday Night Live with Adam Driver. There's two episodes of "Kylo Ren: Undercover Boss" that they did that are both phenomenal
Me I'm laughing when after first attempt her expression is like "what I did wrong?" Second, after she succeeds, she's like "Oh, Santa is leaving, one more wish: and you'll drop your weapon!" and - the top one - Craig's "Aaaaaaand I will drop my weapon" :)))
Yet in TLJ BB-8 says it at the very start, I pretty sure it's the first binary line in the movie so we basically don't "hear" it in that one but it exist
@@Fyrecide The Force Awakens is a good movie taken by itself. The biggest problem is that it's just A New Hope all over again, but I think most people would be happy with it if they never saw any other Star Wars movie, or simply didn't think too hard about it. Once you do start thinking about it is when it loses some points, but it's still perfectly fine. I'll happily rewatch it every two years or so. As for the other two movies.... Arrrrgggg.... I only saw The Last Jedi once, and really only half saw The Rise of Skywalker, with no desire to ever watch either again.
@KenMathis1 - YES! Exactly all of this. I enjoyed TFA as well and am okay with it being essentially a retelling of ANH as Star Wars, imo, mirrors itself every generation or two. I liken it to The Matrix reloading every now and then. 8 and 9, though... not my favorite. Luke's supposed to represent unending hope in the face of insurmountable odds. He even utters the line "Always get up" in another Disney production (I don't want to spoil it for Coby in case she watches it). Luke's thought process snd character arc in the sequel trilogy just isn't the Luke we all are familiar with. That was my biggest issue with this trilogy. That and of all 9 parts are considered "The Skywalker Saga", the antagonist should have been something to do with the spirit or legacy of Vader, rather than what they went with (again trying not to spoil anything for Coby in case she happens to read comments). And Rey should have been Han and Leia's daughter, the film version of Jaina. Not what we got.
It seems odd how Coby always knows not only what’s about to happen but also knows what they’re going to say?!? Hmmmm…. Anyway, she’s still entertaining!
She's an actress who has read & studied many scripts and knows filmmaking and the movie business. She watches these films with an analytical perspective, from someone in the movie business. A lot of these scripts & movies, to someone in the business, are probably very predictable, formulaic, and cookie-cutter to someone like her. (Just like I, as a software engineer and data analyst, look at software, including websites, and "data" with a more analytical eye than someone who doesn't have that kind of training and experience).
@@homiefromfl I rate it better than Clones and Menace, but below Sith, and Jedi. The Last Jedi is - half risk taking, interesting new concoction... and half miss-landing mess. And Rise of Skywalker is a bit more... of the latter. This film played it a bit safe, that said.
Remember that the opening crawl tells you what's happening in the story, (characters, locations), JAKU, they told you what planet they were on, not just backstory to be read.
I was 9 years old in '77, and seeing Star Wars in the theater made me a sci-fi fan for life. I also understand why some people don't like these movies, but too bad. I do. Fun to watch it with you Coby, as always.
Earlier in the movie, Han gives Chewie a hard time over the fact that Chewie's feeling cold & he's got all that fur! So then when Han arrives at Star-Killer Base, he tosses his Jacket on the elevator, then as they're about to leave, Chewie picks up Han's Jacket & passes it back to him...., you know looking our for his buddy because the surface is cold! 🤣Harrison Ford's look of surprise at this gesture was because when Peter Mayhew picks up the jacket & gives it to him, is was totally improv & not scripted 😀😍
The fact thar Disney completely blew the chance to have even 1 scene with Han, Leia, Luke, and Chewy together is just completely beyond me. How the f@$k did they miss that chance.
5:05 - I'm actually surprised you don't recognize this actor, since you seem to know everyone, and he's been in over 150 films. That's Max von Sydow. He was the Devil in Needful Things, the ancient king in Conan the Barbarian, Dr. Kynes in the original version of Dune, Emperor Ming in Flash Gordon, Father Merrin in The Exorcist... he did some voice work on The Simpsons and games like Skyrim, also. He's an extremely recognizable person/voice IMO, and he's been in everything.
@@georgezee5173 Neither of you mentioned his most well known role, at least easily as known for decades worldwide as Exorcist. Of the Knight Bock who plays chess with Death in Bergman's the Seventh Seal. Hell it was so well known they parodied it even in America in Bill and Ted!
Happy to see you continue your Star Wars journey! I was too young to see the Original Trilogy in theaters but I did see the Prequels and Sequels there. They did have some good ideas in this one and that's all I will say lol
I didn't like the prequels, so this was a breath of fresh air. It even seemed to have some expanded universe novel mentality about its handling. But oddly, after a few views on bluray, I started quickly getting bored. I found that very interesting.
"well thats an Australian". Thats what i thought too (being an Aussie) when I first heard it. Close but no cigar; its Simon Pegg. Both voice and in the suit!
The black bag you thought was a cloak or a disguise was filled with explosives.... But you did a great job of figuring out most of it. 😁 Behind the scenes note: Harrison Ford was always surprised that his character survived through all of it. Rumor has it that he'd always wanted Han Solo to die, so it was no problem for Harrison Ford to be written off that way.
My biggest problem with this movie is, at the end, Leah walks right by Chewbacca and hugs Rey like she knows her. It’s just a weird choice they made with that scene. Chewy is always getting the shaft. He doesn’t get a medal in “A New Hope” and Leah doesn’t care that Chewy just lost his best friend and walks by him to hug a strange.
@@RockBrentwood Jesus Ebert. So, I made sure I said "My biggest problem". See, art is subjective. My comment didn't indicate that "my biggest problem" was the only problem. It is simply my opinion.
Peter Mayhew was in the suit some of the time but he passed away sometime after the movie was released. His replacement was Joonas Suotamo, and he was Chewbacca for the remainder of the sequels and Solo. And I think he was also in the Acolyte as Master Kelnacca.
You’ll actually find more older fans willing to admit this was a great film, oddly though the next film in the trilogy is the one that is highly divisive and contested amongst fans. You’ll see for yourself what happens, and we’ll all get to see if you agree or not with the choices they made following The Force Awakens.
I’m one of those original fans who saw “Star Wars” about 50 times in the theater. I liked Force Awakens at the time. I thought it was completely unoriginal but the new characters were likable and I was curious to see where the story would go. Unfortunately….
@drew I remember watching this in theater with buddy and feeling very meh. It felt very much like episode 4 but unoriginal and not as entertaining. I didn't have high hopes but was very disappointed that we have entire galaxy with unlimited potential and story telling but instead we are stuck on same time line rehashing these stories. Feels like a squander universe when can make anything but only want to go back to same old stuff.
The New Hope arrived in my country in autumn 1980, and for the whole week I've been in the theater every evening, lol. I highly enjoyed TFA when was released and I've rewatched it many times - never got bored, I've always enjoying it.
@@geronimojones I felt that show shouldn't had even been made, that's the problem with Disney they keep wanting to rely nostalgia instead of creating new characters.
That was Han's coat. He'd throw it down when they got there. It was improvised that Chewie picked it up and handed it to Han, which is why he seemed confused.
Deleted scene: earlier, Leia, at her base giving plans and orders. When you see the scene where the planets are destroyed, in the city, one Woman, seen brief was sent by Leia on a mission. It is noted in documentary, they held back showing Leia until later, for drama reveal.
The sanitation position that Finn (FN-2187) held is an homage to the line from the film Clerks, "Do you think the average stormtrooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms."
When this movie premiered at my theater, They had a whole band brought in to play the theme and a few others transcend from original soundtracks before the film started , It was awesome.
Don't be ashamed for liking the new Star wars :) I really like them, too. In some ways they are better than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Not too many ways, but some. Like the way you felt when Han got on board the millennium falcon. I felt those feelings, too.
Not only do I agree my first thought after seeing Last Jedi is this is tied for Empire for best Star Wars Movie, and that has not changed at any point. Rise of skywalker is more checkmarky thanks to "Fans" but I still think there's a good cohesive story there that carries forward the themes I was seeing in the sequels, plus getting the return of a certain someone meant getting his actor back too and he's always amazing in the role.
When they return to the base there was a scene that was cut out between Leia and Chewie. They hugged and Leia reportedly says, "It's just us now." Or something to that effect. That would have started the waterworks for me.
I remember seeing this in theater the first star wars movie in years, glad you got to experience that feeling at least no matter how this series turns out at least you're in the star wars hole
I enjoyed all the movies,original trilogy,prequels and this second trilogy...I'm not a hardcore Star War fan,I just like them for what they are.I don't find 'fault' with them.
Originally, Chewie was portrayed by Peter Mayhew, and he did make it to perform some of Chewie in Episode 7, but had a double in Joonas Suotamo who is 4 inches shorter... The great Peter Mayhew retired in 2016 and passed in 2019 from a heart attack, 4 years after The Force Awakens was released which was his last appearance as Chewbacca. He had 3 children with his wife of 20 years. From NPR: "He was the gentlest of giants," Star Wars co-star Mark Hamill tweeted. "A big man with an even bigger heart who never failed to make me smile & a loyal friend who I loved dearly-I'm grateful for the memories we shared & I'm a better man for just having known him. Thanks Pete."
Love ya reactions girl, but you are definitely one of my friends who looks at me and asks questions about what's going on AS the movie is explaining, it 😅😂
Omg, Big evil Gollum, is she going to be surprised! She's been on the mark on a lot of things, but equally some were off (Simon Pegg as Unkar Plutt, British, not Australian). 49:58- the explosives were the things Finn was packing for the Falcon earlier; Solo-'" Be careful, those things are explosives." Finn - " Now you tell me". And we had to wait 3 years again for answers! Glad you were so hyped for the entire movie!
I'm one of the ones who liked this trilogy a lot. Don't listen to people pointing out all the things they don't like about the approach or the lore and just enjoy it for yourself. I really liked the new characters. Great reaction and I'll be here for whatever is next.
The dislike of this trilogy is pretty well justified. Imagine if someone broke into your house, rearranged the furniture and decorations, brought some of their own in, threw a tantrum in some some of the rooms, left, called the next day to ask "did I do good?", then called you names when you said you didn't like it. That's what Disney did to Star Wars.
@@HarantheBlue Not saying people don't have their reasons for their dislike. I'm just saying nobody should sour someone on watching and enjoying the trilogy on it's own merits not based on things that don't matter to her. I am a big Star Wars fan and saw all of them in the theater and have read several of the books and watched all the shows. It's not wrong for people to enjoy movies without the biases of super fans who know all of the lore and the universe and seem to take offense when people do like it because they hate it soooo much.
Glad you went w/ your genuine feelings. I like the new stuff as well. SW will always have it's group of haters stuck in the past, don't let them sway you. Just a bunch of grumpy old men
I don’t care what haters say. This movie was SO FUN. One of the best theatrical experiences ever. The lead up, the excitement, and then it kicked a lot of ass. I’m a huge fan of this movie.
" I got a bad feeling about this " is said in eleven movies...in chronological order. 1.Phantom Menace..Obi Wan to Qui-Gon 2. Attack of The Clones...Anakin on Geonosis 3. Revenge of The Sith...Obi Wan to Anakin 4. Solo...Han Solo 5. Rogue One...K2SO in the elevator 6. A New Hope... Luke approaching the Death Star 7. Empire Strikes Back... Leia 8. Return of The Jedi... C3PO to R2D2 in Jabba's Palace 9. A Force Awakens... Han when the rathtars get loose 10.The Last Jedi...(the only non-human), BB8 in binary code during the evacuation of D'Qar. Leia then says " Just for the record Commander, I'm with the droid on this one" 11. Rise of Skywalker...Lando Calrissian when the First Order land on Passana.
I'm glad you liked this. One thing I've learned while watching people go through Star Wars for the first time as a react channel, is that the newer someone is to the series the more they appreciate the sequels. Some long time fans just have rose tinted glasses on and are in denial about it lol.
Coby, I propose that once you will finish the remaining two episodes, do a rewatch of the whole saga - I'm almost certain you will have audience and none of us will have anything against it :)
Grumpy Han Solo is my favourite incarnation of all of Han Solo, which is why I'm bummed we were robbed from having more of him. This is the best of the three Sequel movies. But that's not saying a lot.
Well Coby now all you have to do is watch 2 movies, 6 live action series on Disney+ and 4 CGI animated series and then you would experience all the major storyline threads to Star Wars. But please don't feel overwhelmed.
Hey beautiful, Coby! Thanks for reacting to all of these! Its how we all felt, seeing Han and Chewy. And, YES, "I have a bad feeling about this.", is said in all of them!!!
I had no huge issues with any of the sequels though obviously not anywhere close to OG or Prequels.... Yes Ep7 is the best of them... IMHO changing directors for Ep8 was a factor in it being meh... Enjoy the journey beautiful 😍

That was Peter Mayhew playing Chewbacca. At least some of the time. He had double knee replacement surgery before filming began and was largely wheelchair bound during filming so he shared the role with another actor. When he died of a heart attack in 2019 the other actor took over the role.
The island, where Luke is in isolation, is off the coast of Ireland. It is a World-heritage protected location. If one takes a tour, there is a limit, of people who can be on the island at one time - same as actors and film crew. The Irish island is where Christian Monks lived, centuries past, in isolation - so, a Jedi, alone, it works. Next movie!
Coby definitely needs to watch Lord of the Rings trilogy.
I loved that Chewie got to use his bowcaster. Coby has some dark side in her. 😂
Except the bowcaster was shown to cartwheel armored humans 17 feet through the air when shot but also barely affects an unarmored human on a narrow rail-less span of metal 2,000 feet above an abyss. cool cool cool So glad they included all of that
I had to see Coby's reaction to the Falcon, Harrison Ford and Chewie. It was worth it.
This isn't Star Wars. This is a Disney abomination.
@@beestingza True, and it gets WORSE, but the Falcon, Ford and Chewie was worth the watch.
@@beestingza Why?
@@AmperSand666 I can't disagree with him and the next film is waaaaaaaaaaay worse.
Yeah I know I wish there was more trade federation, jar jar child actors, 10 minute pod races, sand, wooden actors and cgi sets with people sitting in rooms and talking. Lucas didn't fuck up star wars at all.
Now that you've seen this you absolutely must watch Saturday Night Live with Adam Driver. There's two episodes of "Kylo Ren: Undercover Boss" that they did that are both phenomenal
1000%!
It's brilliant!
Matt, radar technician
Hi, I'm Matt
WOW... I was shocked with that Flight of the Navigator reference. I would have never thought she seen that movie. 👍
I always thought the silver Naboo ships were a ripoff of the one from Flight of the Navigator.
Fun fact: Fin’s Stormtrooper number, the 2187, is the same number cell Princess Leia was being held in on the Death Star in ep4
Every time I see Rey do the jedi mind trick on the stormtrooper I laugh knowing that he's Daniel Craig.
Me I'm laughing when after first attempt her expression is like "what I did wrong?" Second, after she succeeds, she's like "Oh, Santa is leaving, one more wish: and you'll drop your weapon!" and - the top one - Craig's "Aaaaaaand I will drop my weapon" :)))
Coby has never seen LOTR? That HAS to be the next trilogy she watches!
@@Renzago good point. She will fall in love, like we all did…
You should check out the Obi Wan series Coby. It takes place about ten years before the events of Rogue One.
Yes, they say "I have a bad feeling about this" in every one. Fun fact: the stormtrooper that Rey used the mind trick on was played by Daniel Craig.
They cut k2 off when he was about to say it
Yet in TLJ BB-8 says it at the very start, I pretty sure it's the first binary line in the movie so we basically don't "hear" it in that one but it exist
the force awakens was pretty good and the best one of the newer sequels
yep
The least sucky.
@@KevyNova Exactly. Not necessarily good, just not as absolutely shit as the other two.
@@Fyrecide The Force Awakens is a good movie taken by itself. The biggest problem is that it's just A New Hope all over again, but I think most people would be happy with it if they never saw any other Star Wars movie, or simply didn't think too hard about it. Once you do start thinking about it is when it loses some points, but it's still perfectly fine. I'll happily rewatch it every two years or so. As for the other two movies.... Arrrrgggg.... I only saw The Last Jedi once, and really only half saw The Rise of Skywalker, with no desire to ever watch either again.
@KenMathis1 - YES! Exactly all of this. I enjoyed TFA as well and am okay with it being essentially a retelling of ANH as Star Wars, imo, mirrors itself every generation or two. I liken it to The Matrix reloading every now and then. 8 and 9, though... not my favorite. Luke's supposed to represent unending hope in the face of insurmountable odds. He even utters the line "Always get up" in another Disney production (I don't want to spoil it for Coby in case she watches it). Luke's thought process snd character arc in the sequel trilogy just isn't the Luke we all are familiar with. That was my biggest issue with this trilogy. That and of all 9 parts are considered "The Skywalker Saga", the antagonist should have been something to do with the spirit or legacy of Vader, rather than what they went with (again trying not to spoil anything for Coby in case she happens to read comments). And Rey should have been Han and Leia's daughter, the film version of Jaina. Not what we got.
I absolutely love your reaction to seeing Han and Chewie! 😂❤
It seems odd how Coby always knows not only what’s about to happen but also knows what they’re going to say?!? Hmmmm…. Anyway, she’s still entertaining!
She's an actress who has read & studied many scripts and knows filmmaking and the movie business. She watches these films with an analytical perspective, from someone in the movie business. A lot of these scripts & movies, to someone in the business, are probably very predictable, formulaic, and cookie-cutter to someone like her. (Just like I, as a software engineer and data analyst, look at software, including websites, and "data" with a more analytical eye than someone who doesn't have that kind of training and experience).
@@BigTone_1701 Yeah, you're right. A lot of lines or things that happen next in the plot are just logical in storytelling if you know how this works.
This is the best of the new trilogy.
and even so, third worst of all the saga films.
@@homiefromfl I rate it better than Clones and Menace, but below Sith, and Jedi.
The Last Jedi is - half risk taking, interesting new concoction... and half miss-landing mess.
And Rise of Skywalker is a bit more... of the latter.
This film played it a bit safe, that said.
Remember that the opening crawl tells you what's happening in the story, (characters, locations), JAKU, they told you what planet they were on, not just backstory to be read.
I was 9 years old in '77, and seeing Star Wars in the theater made me a sci-fi fan for life. I also understand why some people don't like these movies, but too bad. I do. Fun to watch it with you Coby, as always.
Earlier in the movie, Han gives Chewie a hard time over the fact that Chewie's feeling cold & he's got all that fur! So then when Han arrives at Star-Killer Base, he tosses his Jacket on the elevator, then as they're about to leave, Chewie picks up Han's Jacket & passes it back to him...., you know looking our for his buddy because the surface is cold! 🤣Harrison Ford's look of surprise at this gesture was because when Peter Mayhew picks up the jacket & gives it to him, is was totally improv & not scripted 😀😍
That was a good Palpatine impression you did after the lightsaber flew to Rey………
I thought that too she was just like the chancellor to Anakin, Kill him Now.
Her reaction to Adam is so me and I love Kylo Ren and his background on the dark and light side
The fact thar Disney completely blew the chance to have even 1 scene with Han, Leia, Luke, and Chewy together is just completely beyond me. How the f@$k did they miss that chance.
Disney doesn’t understand star wars and the fact they didn’t do THAT…. Is all the proof i need
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this” is said in every episode. I think they started doing that because it’s said twice in A New Hope.
5:05 - I'm actually surprised you don't recognize this actor, since you seem to know everyone, and he's been in over 150 films. That's Max von Sydow. He was the Devil in Needful Things, the ancient king in Conan the Barbarian, Dr. Kynes in the original version of Dune, Emperor Ming in Flash Gordon, Father Merrin in The Exorcist... he did some voice work on The Simpsons and games like Skyrim, also. He's an extremely recognizable person/voice IMO, and he's been in everything.
His most memorable role is definitely as Father Merrin in The Exorcist.
@@georgezee5173 Neither of you mentioned his most well known role, at least easily as known for decades worldwide as Exorcist. Of the Knight Bock who plays chess with Death in Bergman's the Seventh Seal. Hell it was so well known they parodied it even in America in Bill and Ted!
Happy to see you continue your Star Wars journey! I was too young to see the Original Trilogy in theaters but I did see the Prequels and Sequels there. They did have some good ideas in this one and that's all I will say lol
Killing off Han took away our only opportunity to get Luke, Han and Leia together in a scene together one more time. 😢😢😢
@@blinkybill2198 It was what Harrison Ford wanted. His only condition was that he would die in the first movie. If you wanna blame someone, blame him.
@@oddjob914 i never said it wasn't him
You act like they couldn't have written the movie any differently @@oddjob914
Thanks, Coby! 🌠 I'm old, have been there since the beginning... and I love the sequels. I think you will, too.
also yes he IS saying litterally Grandfather... think about it for a minute ;)
Glad you enjoyed it. I was born in ‘79 and still love this. I’ll be back for “The Rise of Skywalker”.
I didn't like the prequels, so this was a breath of fresh air.
It even seemed to have some expanded universe novel mentality about its handling.
But oddly, after a few views on bluray, I started quickly getting bored.
I found that very interesting.
I don't know how anyone can watch the same thing so many times when there's so many things they haven't seen lol
"...Grandfather not GRANDFATHER..." lol. When a movie tells you something - believe it, especially a movie like this.
"well thats an Australian". Thats what i thought too (being an Aussie) when I first heard it. Close but no cigar; its Simon Pegg. Both voice and in the suit!
39:16 The way for face changed from plain to a HUGE smile when R2 was revealed is awesome.
Still think its weird that Leia walks past Chewie to hug Rey.
How dare you question the bad writing! You must be an ismognycist!!!!
It's the medal ceremony all over again. #snubthesnub #justice4Chewie
Blatant speciesism!
JJ Abrams admitted that he messed up with that.
@@benz3685 He messed up with the whole movie.
The black bag you thought was a cloak or a disguise was filled with explosives.... But you did a great job of figuring out most of it. 😁 Behind the scenes note: Harrison Ford was always surprised that his character survived through all of it. Rumor has it that he'd always wanted Han Solo to die, so it was no problem for Harrison Ford to be written off that way.
My biggest problem with this movie is, at the end, Leah walks right by Chewbacca and hugs Rey like she knows her. It’s just a weird choice they made with that scene. Chewy is always getting the shaft. He doesn’t get a medal in “A New Hope” and Leah doesn’t care that Chewy just lost his best friend and walks by him to hug a strange.
You think _that_ is the biggest problem with this movie?
@@KevyNova ya, I do. Anything else?
writers fault the vision of the directors/etc Was piss poor the entire series got screwed mostly throught these last 3 movies
JJ Abrams admitted after TFA release it was a slip-up and apologized. And Chewie will get his medal in TROS.
@@RockBrentwood Jesus Ebert. So, I made sure I said "My biggest problem". See, art is subjective. My comment didn't indicate that "my biggest problem" was the only problem. It is simply my opinion.
Peter Mayhew was in the suit some of the time but he passed away sometime after the movie was released. His replacement was Joonas Suotamo, and he was Chewbacca for the remainder of the sequels and Solo. And I think he was also in the Acolyte as Master Kelnacca.
You’ll actually find more older fans willing to admit this was a great film, oddly though the next film in the trilogy is the one that is highly divisive and contested amongst fans. You’ll see for yourself what happens, and we’ll all get to see if you agree or not with the choices they made following The Force Awakens.
I’m one of those original fans who saw “Star Wars” about 50 times in the theater. I liked Force Awakens at the time. I thought it was completely unoriginal but the new characters were likable and I was curious to see where the story would go. Unfortunately….
@drew I remember watching this in theater with buddy and feeling very meh. It felt very much like episode 4 but unoriginal and not as entertaining. I didn't have high hopes but was very disappointed that we have entire galaxy with unlimited potential and story telling but instead we are stuck on same time line rehashing these stories. Feels like a squander universe when can make anything but only want to go back to same old stuff.
The New Hope arrived in my country in autumn 1980, and for the whole week I've been in the theater every evening, lol. I highly enjoyed TFA when was released and I've rewatched it many times - never got bored, I've always enjoying it.
Your best reaction vid yet! Could tell you were really into it! You were great...
The best thing about this reaction is 2 more Star Wars films with Coby
Absolutely. The best recommendation.
@@boomercoco1 I forgot 3 videogames too.
Can’t wait for her to watch the Kenobi series and all the PT and OT characters in it.
@@geronimojones I felt that show shouldn't had even been made, that's the problem with Disney they keep wanting to rely nostalgia instead of creating new characters.
You see her in the beginning Scavenging for all those parts right she knew all those crashed spaceships like the back of her hand
the "Australian" is British comedy actor Simon Pegg
59:29 The sudden outburst when you remembered the name 😂 😂
That was Han's coat. He'd throw it down when they got there. It was improvised that Chewie picked it up and handed it to Han, which is why he seemed confused.
The Force Awakens is fabulous fun storytelling, nostalgia, visually excellent. don’t let anyone hate it
and then they really dropped the ball on the next two.
@@emilmlodnicki3835 i enjoy both TLJ and TROS but I know the mileage of others varies.
Deleted scene: earlier, Leia, at her base giving plans and orders. When you see the scene where the planets are destroyed, in the city, one Woman, seen brief was sent by Leia on a mission. It is noted in documentary, they held back showing Leia until later, for drama reveal.
The sanitation position that Finn (FN-2187) held is an homage to the line from the film Clerks, "Do you think the average stormtrooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms."
Yeah they played fast and loose with Finn's character
@@BouillaBased 2187 is also the number of the cell Princess Leia was held prisoner on the first Death Star.
Oh shit, good call!
When this movie premiered at my theater, They had a whole band brought in to play the theme and a few others transcend from original soundtracks before the film started , It was awesome.
I couldn’t wait for you to see Adam Driver. Your reaction was way better than I was even hoping for!
Her simping for Kylo with the mask is so relatable 😂😂
The worst part is that Leia just walks by Chewy and then hugs Rae.
Not that some mary sue jumps in the Falcon and knows more about it and flies it better than the person who owned it for decades?
@@LiberPater777 Haha, I should of said one of the worst parts.
Don't be ashamed for liking the new Star wars :) I really like them, too. In some ways they are better than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Not too many ways, but some. Like the way you felt when Han got on board the millennium falcon. I felt those feelings, too.
Better than the first 6??? You are joking right?
Not only do I agree my first thought after seeing Last Jedi is this is tied for Empire for best Star Wars Movie, and that has not changed at any point. Rise of skywalker is more checkmarky thanks to "Fans" but I still think there's a good cohesive story there that carries forward the themes I was seeing in the sequels, plus getting the return of a certain someone meant getting his actor back too and he's always amazing in the role.
When they return to the base there was a scene that was cut out between Leia and Chewie. They hugged and Leia reportedly says, "It's just us now." Or something to that effect. That would have started the waterworks for me.
‘Save us BB8, you’re our only hope!’
Ignore the hate that’s going to come.
“Let your hate flow through you.”
So certain are you?
49:52 Finn had the explosives with him. Remember Han saying "careful with those, they're explosive" and Finn replied "Now you're telling me??"
I remember seeing this in theater the first star wars movie in years, glad you got to experience that feeling at least no matter how this series turns out at least you're in the star wars hole
55:12 “do it, do it now!” what a great call back!
I enjoyed all the movies,original trilogy,prequels and this second trilogy...I'm not a hardcore Star War fan,I just like them for what they are.I don't find 'fault' with them.
9:00 "Well that's an Australian."
Actually, that's Simon Pegg. :)
Originally, Chewie was portrayed by Peter Mayhew, and he did make it to perform some of Chewie in Episode 7, but had a double in Joonas Suotamo who is 4 inches shorter... The great Peter Mayhew retired in 2016 and passed in 2019 from a heart attack, 4 years after The Force Awakens was released which was his last appearance as Chewbacca. He had 3 children with his wife of 20 years.
From NPR: "He was the gentlest of giants," Star Wars co-star Mark Hamill tweeted. "A big man with an even bigger heart who never failed to make me smile & a loyal friend who I loved dearly-I'm grateful for the memories we shared & I'm a better man for just having known him. Thanks Pete."
Don’t let the sequel haters taint your experience. Watch the whole trilogy and make your own opinion. All three of them have something to offer.
Love ya reactions girl, but you are definitely one of my friends who looks at me and asks questions about what's going on AS the movie is explaining, it 😅😂
Omg, Big evil Gollum, is she going to be surprised! She's been on the mark on a lot of things, but equally some were off (Simon Pegg as Unkar Plutt, British, not Australian).
49:58- the explosives were the things Finn was packing for the Falcon earlier; Solo-'" Be careful, those things are explosives." Finn - " Now you tell me".
And we had to wait 3 years again for answers! Glad you were so hyped for the entire movie!
I'm one of the ones who liked this trilogy a lot. Don't listen to people pointing out all the things they don't like about the approach or the lore and just enjoy it for yourself. I really liked the new characters. Great reaction and I'll be here for whatever is next.
The dislike of this trilogy is pretty well justified.
Imagine if someone broke into your house, rearranged the furniture and decorations, brought some of their own in, threw a tantrum in some some of the rooms, left, called the next day to ask "did I do good?", then called you names when you said you didn't like it.
That's what Disney did to Star Wars.
@@HarantheBlue Not saying people don't have their reasons for their dislike. I'm just saying nobody should sour someone on watching and enjoying the trilogy on it's own merits not based on things that don't matter to her. I am a big Star Wars fan and saw all of them in the theater and have read several of the books and watched all the shows. It's not wrong for people to enjoy movies without the biases of super fans who know all of the lore and the universe and seem to take offense when people do like it because they hate it soooo much.
Glad you went w/ your genuine feelings. I like the new stuff as well. SW will always have it's group of haters stuck in the past, don't let them sway you. Just a bunch of grumpy old men
I don’t care what haters say. This movie was SO FUN. One of the best theatrical experiences ever. The lead up, the excitement, and then it kicked a lot of ass. I’m a huge fan of this movie.
" I got a bad feeling about this " is said in eleven movies...in chronological order.
1.Phantom Menace..Obi Wan to Qui-Gon
2. Attack of The Clones...Anakin on Geonosis
3. Revenge of The Sith...Obi Wan to Anakin
4. Solo...Han Solo
5. Rogue One...K2SO in the elevator
6. A New Hope... Luke approaching the Death Star
7. Empire Strikes Back... Leia
8. Return of The Jedi... C3PO to R2D2 in Jabba's Palace
9. A Force Awakens... Han when the rathtars get loose
10.The Last Jedi...(the only non-human), BB8 in binary code during the evacuation of D'Qar. Leia then says " Just for the record Commander, I'm with the droid on this one"
11. Rise of Skywalker...Lando Calrissian when the First Order land on Passana.
I'm glad you liked this. One thing I've learned while watching people go through Star Wars for the first time as a react channel, is that the newer someone is to the series the more they appreciate the sequels. Some long time fans just have rose tinted glasses on and are in denial about it lol.
watching you watch stuff is always a pleasure. *high-fives*
Coby, I propose that once you will finish the remaining two episodes, do a rewatch of the whole saga - I'm almost certain you will have audience and none of us will have anything against it :)
Grumpy Han Solo is my favourite incarnation of all of Han Solo, which is why I'm bummed we were robbed from having more of him.
This is the best of the three Sequel movies. But that's not saying a lot.
"Did you just call me Solo?!?" was brilliant :)))
Well Coby now all you have to do is watch 2 movies, 6 live action series on Disney+ and 4 CGI animated series and then you would experience all the major storyline threads to Star Wars. But please don't feel overwhelmed.
Star Wars rule to remember: If you don’t see a body, they didn’t die.
The stormtrooper that Rey used the force on was played by Daniel Craig😅
Hey beautiful, Coby! Thanks for reacting to all of these! Its how we all felt, seeing Han and Chewy. And, YES, "I have a bad feeling about this.", is said in all of them!!!
I loved these last three movies... Great sequels...😊
I had no huge issues with any of the sequels though obviously not anywhere close to OG or Prequels.... Yes Ep7 is the best of them... IMHO changing directors for Ep8 was a factor in it being meh... Enjoy the journey beautiful 😍
Despite all the haters out there, I liked this new trilogy
