Episode VI crawl, first sentence: Luke Skywalker has returned... Episode VII, first sentence: Luke Skywalker has vanished.
Brilliant
oh wow. i never noticed that. Thats one of the things a love so much about star wars. The little details, callbacks and jokes that carry trough the saga
+Sylair wonder what ep VIII's crawl will be since it's picking up right after VII
+Sylair bof...
+MsLm97 Probably "Luke Skywalker has been discovered."
Qwertify hahahhahha maybe
#RIP Schnepp.
In ten years, for the special edition of this commentary they should add a digital Darth Harloff.
rofl
or harloff minor
Please! And put Harloff Minor in the new Rian Johnson trilogy! PLEASE MR. JOHNSON I BEG YOU SO SO MUCH
An Indiana Jones commentary would be great to see
👍!!!
YES! Please. Indiana Jones for the win!
Too be honest, I thought yup nub was a horrible song to end the greatest saga of all time. The newer song felt more triumphant and a bit more appropriate to me.
Agreed it felt more final
yeah, i love the other one they use! yub nub was too goofy to me
however, its not just an ewok victory, its everybody's victory which is why i prefer the new song
Yeah this one was much better and I like that we get to see a bunch of other planets
4 months late but it's finally here
3P0 says that he is not very good at telling stories in a New Hope, but here in Jedi we get this master piece out of him lol he's surprisingly humble at times :)
"Nothing cranks up the appetite like some premeditated murder."
I love RotJ so much, seen Luke as a full Jedi was a great thing to see for the first time.
Ok, Collider. Now that the Star Wars movies are finally done, it's only fair to a commentary for Spaceballs next. And make sure Campea is with you to. Please make it happen.
PLZZZZZZ
YES
+darkman4811 Star Wars Holiday Special*
+Teddy Oneill Oh god no. That's just cruel.
Please do this.
Kristian needs to be here so he can tell the others when they are wrong about Star Wars facts.
Yes. So true. The first time they said it the move takes place 3 years after Empire he would have corrected them immediately. It was relased 3 years but it's only been 1 year
I love this commentaries
Victory Celebration > Yub Nub
This one is my personal favorite Star Wars film. I used to watch it all the time. I still have it in both special and original editions on VHS.
I still can never decide between Empire and Jedi.Both incredible
Francis Segnitz for me it's empire. I like how dark empire went and how deep it got. Jedi I like second best. I think to me it's one of the best endings to a trilogy.
Francis Segnitz completely agree I think empire is better but I prefer ROTJ.
Return of the Jedi movie here => twitter.com/4ab45e1c16802cd2d/status/822768642806804480
Omg this just auto played after a thanksgiving Jedi council episode. Hearing these 3 together. RIP Schnepp. I miss your commentary and views on all things. Stay sweaty my friends!
Now that Starwars has ended I would love for the guys to do an Aliens commentary, it's one of ,my all time favourite movies.
ALIENS may be great but it's not a patch on A L I E N
The circle is now complete...until
Rogue One comes out
This commentary was the most fun for me, out of all of the Star Wars commentaries
i'm so grateful you did all these commentaries... i've seen every one of them and watching them with you was just so much fun! thanks guys!
Adding the "NOOO!" was the worst thing Lucas ever did.
+DavidGerlach honestly I forgot he added it so it threw me off so much not expecting it at the end.
Actually the worst thing Lucas ever did was direct the prequels
+Spartan Demon No, the prequels were bad to begin with. This is worse because he went back and changed something that was already perfect.
I don't mind it
or the Star Wars holiday special...
It's nice to see someone else who favors Return of the Jedi!!!
Victory celebration is way better than yub nub
yub nub all day every day
Boomers
GUYS Thanks for this! Loving the viewing together with you guys,so much fun! This is also my favorite Star Wars movie. So many fun commentaries through this, and some questions that definitely only Kristian the nerd can answer haha
Fun fact; did you know that the word Endor is a Quenya word for Middle-Earth? So basically you could say Hobbits deevoled into Ewoks.
Econman Endor is from the bible I.e. The witch of endor, look it up
Remember when you had planned to have this out BEFORE The Force Awakens hit theaters?? Tee hee.
And i just miss Schnepp :(
Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi is maybe my all time favourite character. The first part of the movie, until they get back to the rebels, is Empire level for me. The throne room sequence is maybe my all time favourite scene. Still, this movie is the weakest of the three. Why? Because of the freaking ewoks! Wait, that's not true. I don't have any problems with the ewoks. I have a gigantic problem with the ewoks beating the Empire's elite soldiers. If they made somthing like this today, there'd be an outrage. People would riot until there's nothing left of this planet but an atomic wasteland populated by only a few crazy survivors, riding hellish cars on fire while shouting "Witness me!".
I have no shame in saying Return of the Jedi isn't my favorite SW film. It's my third favorite.
1. V - TESB
2. VII - TFA
3. VI - ROTJ
4. IV - ANH
5. III - ROTS
6. I - TPM
7. II - AOTC
The sheer scale of the triple finale is still incredible, especially considering the amount of FX that had to be done 30 odd years ago. Its so brilliantly and flawlessly edited together too.
Leia has a memory of her mother through the force.
No Harloff? Me sad ewok.
If Yoda just said to Luke, "The Emperor has this Force lightning ability so use your lightsaber to deflect it. Whatever you do, don't throw the saber away". That could have saved Luke a lot of pain.
But it wouldn't have turned Vader to the light side.
True, Luke had to be seen in mortal danger for Vader to defy the Emperor and try to save his son. Still, Yoda left Luke to figure stuff out for himself. It's understandable that Luke fails in Episode VII and disappears. No one ever gave him a template on how to properly train Jedi.
Just sat down with 2 head phones left return of the Jedi right this commentary and enjoyed every minute
ps... Campea is so much better when his happy heart is showing... i hope he keeps the positive energy going... he was really turning me off for a while... thanks for rebounding John... i credit the ewoks:)
By far my most favorite movie commentary, and for my most favorite Star Wars film.
As much as I do miss Harloff, Ellis has some hilarious quips in this lol "Lucy from Peanuts"
I haven't even touched The Force Awakens commentary. I've been waiting for this. Now i can go back to back
Mark - "he has apologized" that cracked me up so bad. I'm still laughing!
In reference to them discussing the nod between Boba Fett and Leia, in disguise:
“That's why when major badasses greet each other in movies, they don't say anything, they just nod. The nod means, 'I' am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass,' but they don't say anything because they're Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Bones
Fun fact: In the ROTJ commentary Ben Burtt says the Rancor sound effect was recorded from a pet dachshund barking and growling slowed down.
Nice reference to Dennis Potter's Karaoke and Cold Lazarus which are both great. Dennis Potter was a great writer who was ahead of his time - he saw what tv would become today.
Noticed a couple things on this run through I hadn't seen before on the special edition. The common graphics like the AT-ST tripping on logs, dark outline of the Falcon as it was weaving back and forth towards the screen, the edited box around the Death Star when coming out of hyper space. But the thing never noticed before, the crowd surfing stormtrooper on Coruscant, right before the image of the trooper leaves the screen, you can also hear the Wilhelm scream among the chanting. Subtitles on Naboo: "Wesa Free". Right before that scene as well.
Great Commentary Guys! Love Return of the Jedi. The only film of the original 3 that I saw opening weekend in 1983, theatre so packed had to sit on stool in very back of Theatre. Loved It! Still Love it. My Favorite of the three too! Keep up the great work.
So happy you guys are doing this because this is also my favorite movie of all time!
Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi is also my favorite Star Wars character thus far.
It's finally here the moment we all been waiting for!!!!!!!
I do like when Kristian drops book knowledge. They made fun before, but a lot of questions came up that no one could answer.
The Throne room scenes alone (all the first six movies lead to this) makes this movie the best of those first six.
I'm pretty sure the nod is a nod of respect. Like him saying "Way to negotiate for more money...with a thermal detonator...nice work."
To John Campea: The Spiders in Jabbas Palace are carrying the brains of sacred monks in the basins at their bellys. No joke.
Ellis is so naturally funny
Obi had dealings with Jabba and the entire hurt council in The Clone Wars. The arc of apprehending Jabba's nephew Ziro. Quinlin Vos and Obi-Wan both met them all.
Schnepp, you totally blanked on making the 'I thought she was with you' when Han was talking to Luke on Endor when Leia's missing.
In the movies AT-AT'S are just referred to as Imperial Walkers. The AT-AT designation was just for toys and whatnot.
Over the years different Star Wars media (commercials, video games) have pronounced it both ways. So you can pretty much call it whatever you want as there is no "official cannon" pronunciation.
Just watched with these guys and watching luke and Han reunite at the end makes me tear up
Actually in Marvel's Princess Leia issue no. 2, she goes to Naboo and at one point see a still mural of her mother Padme and for a moment she moves to face Leia with sadness in her face. I'm thinking she had to been referencing that moment she in the Force.
That line they were talking about at the Sarlac pit from Han Solo is before the scene they are talking about. It's when they are approaching the pit; not when he was trying to shoot the Sarlac to free Lando. He says it to Luke. "I think my eyes are getting better. Now instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur."
I agree with John and Mark Return of the Jedi is my favourite.
55:40 LMAO Campea. "YO YO THE EMPEROR!"
You guys need to do winter solider next
I love how in Aftermath, literally the second after they tear down Palpatine's statue, the Coruscant police show up and slaughter the entire group of people that are celebrating. Retcons are awesome...
This was my first Star Wars. I saved tops from cereal boxes to get an Emperor figure...
Anyone else 'member that marketing campaign?
Great commentary!!
The BEST SW commentary you guys saved for last! One of the best & funniest ever made for ROTJ! And this is also my fav SW film of them all so deep respect! I never expected so much Ewok loving & totally explaining the good reasons why!
Return of the Jedi is also my favorite Star Wars movie (very close with Empire)
I just love the planet of Endor. When I think of the OT I think of that planet and that movie.
Darth Vader "noooo" at his birth in the prequel, and again before he dies in ROTJ. seems poetic.
Yes Obi Wan and Jabba have crossed paths. During the Clone Wars him and Vos go to Jabba's palace to find Zero.
As for Qui Gon not disappearing like Yoda and Obi Wan, if you watch the Clone Wars as well it shows that Qui Gon had to discover the secrets of the force after life after he died, so he couldn't take his image with him, but he found a way to do it with his conscious. When he trained Obi Wan and Yoda though, they found a way to keep their image, having known the secrets before their death.
And they keep mentioning Rex in Rebels.... But he was Anakin's Commander in Clone Wars...that should mean more than him being in Rebels (which is also cool)
The music at the end is sooo much BETTER than the old one...
I really enjoyed watching this movie again
I'm with Schnepp, The Empires Strikes Back is my favorite Star Wars film, but I love the original trilogy in general, I'm die hard Star Wars fan!!! 👍
ever notice the gun Han uses on the skiff to save Lando is the same as Kanans blaster in Rebels? just that was a nice little thing when they do that.
I remember seeing this as a child and was terrified of Bib Fortuna. Something about him just scared the shit out of me.
I can't believe she's gone 😢
Finally got around to watching this with y'all and this may have been the most fun commentary to watch! The ewok commentary on their murders was so dang funny!
I honestly think if luke didn't see vaders lost arm being robotic he wouldn't have staped out of it, because he saw he was becoming like vader
I know. We get to see more Oola in the original dance sequence.
My favorite Star Wars movie as well....it has the best space battle and the best lightsabre battle with Luke and Vader
I'm with John Campea and Mark Ellis on this one. *Return Of The Jedi ALL THE WAY!!!!*
Love the walk on by the water delivery dude!
lol I loved it when they imitated Harloff eating
It's finally here!!! My favorite of the three!!!!
This is great and all, but I demand a Spaceballs commentary, too!
Didn't Obi-Wan have an audience with Jabba in the animated Clone Wars movie?When they were trying to find Jabba's son?
spider creatures in Jabba's palace are the disembodied brains of the original monks that owned the place before Jabba
Great commentary, I enjoyed all of them, including the MoS commentary. I do have to say that I think listening to you guys talk about this movie has changed my opinion on some parts. I was three years old when this movie came out, but I grew up watching all the star wars movie as a kid. Back then the lightsaber fights were some of the coolest things I had ever seen. When the prequels came along the lightsaber duels were kicked into overdrive and became a lot more kinetic and active. Up until now I believed that better choreography equaled a better duel, but as Campea pointed out in this commentary, the final fight between Luke and Vader, while not on the same level of any of the prequel duels choreography-wise, I do think it is one of the best duels in the saga because there was feeling there, emotions--something many of the duels in the prequels was lacking. That said, I still maintain that the Ewoks providing a significant amount of a distraction for the empire to allow the rebels to take out the shield generator...I'm sorry, I still don't buy it. I don't hate the ewoks, and that scene where the one died and his buddy cried is definitely a heartfelt moment, but I don't think the empire would have fallen to them so easily. I know, I know, story and plot, its not real, I get that. Anyways, those are just some of my thoughts, but again I enjoy watching movie with you guys and look forward to watching more. Take care!
Oh, and Revenge Of The Sith the best movie in the trilogy, just saying ;)
I really wish this movie just had Obi-Wan just say that he lied to Luke about Vader, rather than just throw a complete forced-in attempt to explain why Obi-Wan used the words he choose in the first movie. Just have him say that he lied and that he did what he thought was right.
I turned down the sound for the special addition singing alien part, and I could still hear it so clearly through my phone speakers
I love this commentary but I have to disagree with Campea and Schnepp's comments on the ending theme song. I love the newest edition in replacement of the 'Yub Nub" song because to me, it felt more real. Going from Vader's funeral to various planets and seeing everyone celebrating after the empire's defeat made the song fit perfect. But at the same time, it made me very sad as a huge star wars fan. Reason being because seeing Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Lando, C3P-O and R2-D2 told me that all good things must come to an end. Seeing Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin's force ghosts at the end hit it home for me as well. Look, I love Star Wars and I totally agree with Campea, Return of the Jedi is my favorite as well.
first my favorite noise ever is when Luke's lightsaber lights up on Endor before he destroys the speeder... and what's the Collider take on one of my favorite childhood movies..Star Wars Ewok Adventure: Caravan of Courage...
The lack of blinks made them monstrous to me as a kid. Something alien and bizarre. I still found them cute, but I also saw how they could beat up the empire because of that unblinking stare.
perfect 420 present from collider... THANKS!!
Love the texting bit. Now I wanna see that made lol
I dont mind the Vader changes in this movie.
I like the added no's, because it's like in Episode 3 the last words Anakin says before Vader fully takes over is "No", and the first words Anakin says when coming back is also "no". As for The Heyden ghost. I see it as where Obi-Wan and Yoda wanted Luke to see them as they looked when they died. Anakin wanted his son to see him as the great Jedi he was told Anakin was, and not like Vader. The eye thing, they changed the color to match the prequels. So what it's just eye colors. That is still the original actor.
I think Bib Fortuna is just supposed to be deformed ... and I think he was always supposed to be messed up, whether he got sick, was injured or just born that way.
+MorsecodeZ I remember reading somewhere that he is indeed deformed by his own debaucherous, evil lifestyle. It's a bit silly, but fits with the fantasy elements of Star Wars, like all the Sith being deformed by the Dark Side / they're own evil as well.
the one thing i never got about this movie. Why does vader save the emperor? luke gave in and strikes at the emperor in anger. therefore turning him to the dark side.
Shnepp's mini movie about the scout troopers sounds awesome. Could be the "Troops" sequel....
Schnepp
I like how Mark almost always has a cup from Panera
Wait 'Return Of The Jedi' is a prequel?
No it isnt.
+charley15z Do you know what prequel means?
+charley15z Prequel is a movie that is made after another movie but happens before it. Like star wars episodes 1-3 or the hobbit films.
+charley15z Because Mark, Schnepp, and Campea are seeing this, after The Force Awakens.
+Brynjar Reynisson Yep, which is why its prequel, sequel but before the first movie in the movie timeline. You nailed it, without needing to call anybody an insulting name or anything! Good to see that on the internet some times.
Schnepp said 'flavor', everyone drink!
I think if you watch any schnepp anything, if you took a shot everytime he says "weird" you would die of alcohol poisoning.
