I love the scene when Vader is choking the Admiral through the screen, and his monologue with orders directed at, at first, CAPTAIN Piett, and as Admiral Ozzel lets out his final breath, Vader says: "You are in command now, ADMIRAL Piett!" This is also referenced later in the movie when The Falcon goes "invisible" by latching onto a Star Destroyer, and Vader tells Piett: "Don't fail me again.. Admiral." as a reminder on how and why he was elevated to the rank of Admiral ..
*I love how Chewie laughs when Leia says "I don't know where you get your delusions, laserbrain" lol* *The revelation of Darth Vader being Luke's father is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest "Say whaaaaaaaaa?!" moment in movie history* *SIDE NOTE:* *> If you're wondering why Yoda sounds like Miss Piggy from The Muppets, they had the same puppeteer/voice actor: Frank Oz*
BTW. I would personally classify Star Wars as "Space Fantasy" . Star Trek is actual Science-Fiction because it's assuming most of the time there's no magic, everything that happens is based in some kind of science, just in the far future where we have more technology.
Space Fantasy, Space Opera, it's all good. It's supposed to be enjoyed - not analyzed. It's definitely not "hard" science fiction, where the story is based on plausible technology and people and events.
Lest we forget, Star Trek also has beings with telepathy who can exchange themselves into new bodies, god-like beings with reality-bending powers, whole planets full of shapeshifters, artificial gravity, holodecks, sex robots, and time travel. So maybe let’s not put Star Trek too far over the line into “hard sci-fi.”
Star Wars is mythology posing as epic fantasy wearing a space opera costume. Star Trek is medieval morality plays wearing a suit of space fantasy that uses actual science consultants to stay as plausible as possible.
I think he understood that it wasn't Piett's fault since the hyperdrive WAS deactivated. Vader also felt confident that since he planted the seed in Luke's mind, his search wouldn't be as hard. So he just left the bridge in a "well.... f*ck" moment.
@@swordmonkey6635 I agree with you 100% but i also feel he was most of all disappointed or upset with his own failure to outperform his enemies. I think it's a rare instance of him accepting his own role in the shortcomings of his fleet. This shows a glimmer of Anakin inside... heavily squelched by the Emperor's sorcery but still slightly visible on occasion.
It’s funny… many people think the line is: “Luke, I am your father.” but the line is actually: “No, I am your father.” I guess it’s one of those Mandela effect moments for a lot of people.
I don't know if you have this one in english but in portuguese we have a saying that aplies to Lando: being caught between the wall and the sword. Aka no choice at all

Toy light sabers were popular among college students in the late '70s. They had telescoping translucent plastic stuck onto the front of flashlights. A flick of the wrist extended the plastic.
I had a non-collapsible one, but otherwise, it was the same idea: a colored plastic tube on the end of a flashlight. These days, of course, they have much more sophisticated lightsaber toys.
I love the old school practical effects. Back then, there hadn't ever been any CGI characters, so no one had a problem with Yoda. And they put in all sorts of interesting little things in the effects, like at 21:53 when the first TIE fighter gets hit by an asteroid, the pilot is thrown clear.

In this episode we get the "Introduction to Jedi Philosophy". We learn how the Force works and how a Jedi should control his emotions. The Jedi Order is somewhat like a Buddhist school, where priests learn to renounce their selfish desires and emotions, as they always lead to suffering. Selfishness, impatience, jealousy, fear, anger and hatred are all shunned. Romantic relationships are not allowed, as they can lead to selfish desire and jealousy. A Jedi Knight must be committed to loving "everyone" and not just a select few. My favorite part is when Luke asks Yoda, "Is the Dark Side stronger?" Yoda quickly says, "NO. Quicker, easier, more seductive." Luke: "How do I know the good side from the bad?" Yoda: "You will know when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense - never for attack."
@ptthatswhatshesaid in the old e.u the time given that Luke spent on dagobah was about 6 weeks in total . If they spent mire time showing the training they would have had to make two movies. Given Lucas was self financing empire that was not a option. He had already ended up in the hospital due to stress. That stress eventually destroyed his marriage to Marsha Lucas . His ex who helped out w/ the script & editing .wich she won a Oscar for I think . So as with most movies it comes down to the $$$ & time
The early 1970 were dominated by a string of all star blockbuster Disaster type movies, when Star Wars was released there were lines around the block waiting to get a ticket, it was nothing like people had ever seen before.
It's because of twists like this back in the day, that younger people are programmed to look for the twist now. I like competent characters in fiction, but I appreciate competent humans even more.

I was 13 years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre. I was 16 years old in 1980 when I saw Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back in the Movie theatre. The special effects were amazing. Everyone in the movie theatre were shocked and gasped when Darth Vader told Luke who he was.
Same here, just turned 60... The original "star wars" (not "a new hope" then) was groundbreaking for its effects, even though Lucas changed them after. I've got the 4k77 original version without all the changes.
Before Obi Wan stands ready for Vade to kill him.. he looks over and sees that Luke is there.... he does this in this moment to martyrize himself. He clearly notices Luke and smiles for this reason. The reason Vader wasn't so surprised about Obi-Wan disappearing... It may have confused him but there is a lot going on and he used to be a Jedi so he's seen MANY MANY amazing things in his time as a Jedi Master.... he's probably seen other Jedi disappear before.
Darth Vader isn't the kind of guy to say "What the hell?!" but the fact that he stood there prodding Obi Wan's fallen robe is, I think, a good indication that he was thinking precisely that.
The Empire Strikes Back has so many iconic scenes and lines. Even this small scene at 44:14. The look of fear that Leia has when she gazes at Darth Vader. Great editing and direction made Empire stand out for me as the best of Star Wars. (A New Hope will always be my first, true love!)
This is as good of an in-universe reason as any. I think the main behind-the-scenes reason he disappeared was that they wanted to have something dramatic to indicate that this wasn't a normal death. As why he chose to sacrifice himself at all, I can only assume he knew there was no way he was escaping, and he chose to sacrifice himself so that Luke and everyone would leave without him. Also, if he hadn't voluntarily sacrificed himself, he might not have been come back as a ghost.
I have realised I like the older movies (that often started franchises years later) because they were never intended to give birth to a franchise. Like Alien, Terminator, Jaws, predator etc... They are complete stories
Let’s be clear. The issue with the first reaction wasn’t that you didn’t like the movie. People have different tastes. The issue was that you decided you didn’t like it before the movie even started and then you looked for things to complain about.
To answer one of your questions about the first movie: Obi-Wan wanted to make certain Luke would witness his death. He knew that would strengthen Luke's resolve to fight for the side of the rebels. As to how Obi-Wan disappeared and became a force ghost when killed - that answer comes later.
When they filmed the scenes with Luke out in the blizzard, Norway had the worst snowstorm in like 50 years. So the film crew removed the snow from the doorway where they were staying nice and comfortable and make Mark Hamill go out into the storm to do his scenes. "You're doing great, keep going!!"
My first Star Wars film. I saw it in the movie theater with my children when it first came out. The Empire Strikes Back is also my favorite Star Wars film!
Big Star Wars fan but I can still appreciate Lucy's reaction for what it is. She is still gracious with her opinions and doesnt just call it terrible like some reactors do with things they don't like. Still a fan of you two.
In the script, the Leiah/Han exchange was supposed to be "I love you"/"I love you too". But it just didn't sound like Han Solo. And both Harrison Ford and the director, Irving Kurshner, knew it. So Harrison Ford asked if he could try something else. And the director agreed. That's where we got "I love you"/"I know". The director loved it. That's Han Solo! He was very pleased.
Daniel: I'll do that sacrifice... "I'll watch Star Wars with [our kids]." (Thinks to himself: "Just you try and STOP me from watching it with my kids!")
Congratulations on owning some part in the reactions to the last reaction. I figured it was a mindset and lack of understanding coming out, but also on your man to Read The Room no matter how excited he is. It’s on him to set up if he has some knowledge to do so.
Leia Organa is a strong-willed, determined woman, who doesn't mince words and demands courage from her fellow members of the Resistance. She has no time for con artists or fools, but she will make time for brave men with honor....even if they are scruffy-looking!
Fun fact: Mark Hamill’s first child was born while he was shooting ESB. There's a rumour going on for years that he shot the scene where he fells from Cloud City after the battle with Darth Vader (where he lost his hand) after staying up all the previous night, while his wife was giving birth. However, Mark himself set things straight, stating that he was originally given the day off for the birth of his son, but was called nine hours after delivery to come in for one shot. It was for a scene in the Battle of Hoth, where he was in front of a green screen firing up at an AT-AT and then had to dive headfirst in to some fake snow. During that shot he sprained his thumb, delaying filming of the lightsaber duel that was scheduled for the same week.
1:16:00 - Mandalorian is a great show. You should definitely watch it. I highly recommend it. The baby Yoda is not a Mandalorian. The baby yoda is under the protection of a Mandalorian. It's not actually Yoda, but another member of his species. Mandalorians are great warriors who follow their own special code. Their planet was destroyed by the Empire, so they don't like Imperials, but for some reason they never joined the Rebel Alliance either.
This is the best of the franchise. I got to see the Darth Vader reveal for real. We went to a large theater near UCLA. The gasp of horror was awesome. The music for the ending credits is, imho, the greatest musical composition ever. It has three themes with complicated melodies and chord progressions. And the people who don't like your reactions to Star Wars fall into one of three categories: 1. Nerds 2. Geeks 3. Nerds and Geeks.
A note on why Han was put in carbon freezing .. Harrison Ford unlike Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher had not agreed to do the 2 sequels after the first movie. George Lucas created a way that Han not be necessary for EP6.. Before the premiere of EP5 Harrison had agreed to do EP6. 😊 Also the reveal that Vader was Luke's father was the biggest secrets ever kept in cinema. It was filmed so that Vader said "Obi-Wan killed your father" the change was added post production and only 4 people were aware; George Lucas, director Irvin Kirshner, James Earl Jones (voice of Vader) and Mark Hamill. Mark tells the story the reaction he got from Harrison at the premiere.. he turned to Hamill and said "Hey kid! You didn't F'in tell me?"
Daniel & Lucy, do you know of the Star Wars cameo in "Raiders of The Lost Ark"? When Indiana Jones and his friend Sallah are first opening the Ark, we can see hieroglyphics on the column behind Indiana. Behind him and to his right. Among the hieroglyphics are the images of R2D2 and C3PO. You have to look quick, though! We only see it for a second or two.
I have a story related to something said in the movie! I was in the Navy on submarines, and in January 2003 I was on my second submarine, and the end of my contract was coming up and I had already decided not to sign up for another four years. We were doing a fire drill on the nuclear powered fast attack submarine, USS Asheville SSN-758. All submariners must be "qualified in submarines" and also "advanced firefighter". So I was there with my FF gear on, which includes an "annunciator", device that makes it so others can hear you when you are wearing a FF mask. It also broadcasts the sound of your breathing if it it is heavy enough, so you can sound like Darth Vader. Since I was about the get out of the Navy, I made darth vader sounds, and then I said, "Luke, *I* am your father!" in a Darth Vader voice! And someone said "shut up [my last name]". I chuckled, but softly enough that the annunciator would not pick it up. I then said "search your feelings, luke! You know it to be true! Join me, and we will rule the galaxy as father and son!" lmao. Normally, I would probably get Captain's Mast for behaving that way, meaning, appear before the Captain so that he may punish me as he sees fit (in other branches, this would be known as "Article 15"). But, since I was getting out of the Navy, nobody cared. But some thought it was funny lmao. 😂🤣😂
A few things you'll notice as you watch the movies, is how the concept and construction of R2 changes. The prequels have him doing things he should have been able to do in the originals. I don't recall Lucas or anyone saying the movies were for kids.
12:01 that is called bacta it is to do a very quick summary it is a healing liquid which some people mistake for water also a Nerf is a Star Wars version of a cow if you cared also 14:54 the huge ship is called the Executor in the lore it is 19 kilometers long
As to why the body disappeared.. it is never explained. I think it is based on the fact that energy and matter are two sides to the same thing on the quantum level. I think the idea is that the sum total of the energy trapped in the mass of the body got transformed into energy, making them a lot stronger. Look at the amount of energy you get when matter and anti-matter collides and transforms into pure energy. The amount of energy you get from matter totally transforming into energy is stupendeous. I think parts of the spiritual community have been enamored with this ever since Einstein formulated E=mc² and that this idea found its way into Star Wars.
I liked most of the Fast and the Furious movies. The series changed from being about racing to being action movies. Bringing in Jonathan Statham and Dwayne Johnson brought a breath of fresh air as well.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one better than the first one. I did not think any of your criticisms of the first movie were unfounded. If you were expecting a serious drama and got more of a soap opera with comedy, it would skew your appreciation. Also when this was made, there weren't a lot of strong female leads, so having a sarcastic princess who could take care of herself was a bit unique. You will really enjoy the third one, guaranteed.
Lucy, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. It is your destiny..
Interesting thing about Star Wars universe is most of the planets are one environment, unlike earth. You either have a desert planet like Tatooine. A city planet like one of the planets in one of the prequels ., Ice planet, water, planet, jungle planet, or swamp marsh planet. I’m sure there’s more but this is all I can think of at the time. Some of these planets, you will not experience until the sequels or prequels . Besides those, there are a lot of other Star Wars movies that you might enjoy or programs that have several seasons. One of my favorites is the Mandalorian. Or Ashoka. So the Obi-Wan series there’s a bunch more series on there that I’m just not familiar with including one on how they film some of the Star Wars stuff early on entitled light and magic
An adult level of the Star Wars films is the incorporating the archetypal myths in the characters and stories. This is one reason they resonate with so many different people.
@@billolsen4360 Yes, no depth. When Vader took the blaster from Han notice the sparks and rolling smoke. They don't put in sparks or rolling smoke anymore. Looks fake as hell.
Fun fact, Leia insulting Han about being a stupid dirty and ugly peasant essentially (Nerfs are like sheep that you can look after and breed to make food in an Age of Empires style SW video game: Galactic Battlegrounds. It's only while playing this game that I understood the meaning of the insults), is a direct call back to her used to being royalty... Royalty that she's not anymore thanks to the Empire destroying Alderaan. What you've got to understand with the Empire is that their weapons are more designed to terrorize than being really effective. Real tanks would of course be much better.
Star Wars has always been serious. Not for children really. Not very "realistic" is what i think you mean though. With each film the conflict becomes increasingly more internal and enotionally complex. In Empire Luke's flaws are exposed and in ROTJ he must show he's mastered them to succeed which is brilliant writing. However in ROTJ ewoks are silly lol.
George Lucas wrote this epic screenplay and realized it could not fit into one movie, so he began to break it apart into different movies. So he took the middle part which became episodes 4, 5 and 6. Many years later he made the prequels that led into the original movie. Once Lucas sold the rights to Disney was when it began to go a little crazy.
On it face star wars is for children. But there is deep metaphysical meaning to the story. An understanding of quantum physics is necessary as well if you want to fully understand the metaphor.
"I love the monkey!" 🥰 "He has a name!" 🤣🤣🤣 One of my favorite little details is that Chewie is over 200 years old and barely middle aged, so given his lifespan Han is basically a really smart and troublemaking dog to him 😅 Imagine being drawn into a galactic war by your rascal pet...
For the record, I loved your Star Wars reaction. Such a fresh take! I fear that the comments section has broken your spirit. Maintain your smart, astute, and snarky reactions no matter how hallowed (or perhaps because of) the material reviewed may be.
luke not being able to lift his ship is a symptom of him being too old. he's learned to expect physics to work a certain way and it clouds his ability to use space magic to ignore physics.
Everyone remember, they’re just movies, it’s not life or death, not everyone likes what you or I like and you might not like what I like. Everybody chill, enjoy the reactions for the reactions sake, a beautiful woman and a handsome man watching a movie, good enough😀
I usually suggest at this point to watch the prequels, but unless the politics of it is interesting to her, she's not going to dig it, and I doubt she'll want to go further than ROTJ, especially for the "confusing" parts. And she doesn't "get" Leia. She's the leader of a rebellion. She hasn't taken the time to just be a woman and not just a leader, and Han finally got her to show that softer side of herself. Old school fans like myself will always see her as "our" Princess, and we love her just as she is.
The Empire is massive. There were 1.5 million member planets and 69 million colonies. The Imperial fleet was made up of 25,000 Imperial class Star Destroyers and many other type of ships.
19:02 Princess Leia Organa is the Princess of Alderaan and respected representative of the seat within the galatic old republic (however she is actually by blood known by another name of which you’ll find out) 😉
The "monkey", Chewbacca, is actually based off a dog. George Lucas had an Alaskan Malamute and that's where Chewey's design comes from .... so I've heard. Although I don't see much resemblance to that breed. Chewbacca looks closer to a Briard (dog breed) like the dog in the sitcom "Married with Children".
Seriously, the whole point is us fans getting to share our favorite things with new people. Not everyone is going to love the same things, but it is that the films live on, immortalized in new hearts.
@user-im2ex9zw6j agreed. I tell folks, the OG trilogy, Rogue One and Andor. I got super jaded when the prequels came out and I lost my faith completely at the sequel trilogy. Some of the animated stuff was OK I guess but it's not for me.
The organization of the movies is easy. There are three trilogies: prequel, original and sequel. There are also two movies between the prequel and original trilogies. She is correct. The three trilogies let the entire conflict play out. Aside from sideways stories which explore aspects of the universe, adding perspective on the trilogies, there is no further theme to play out before you begin repeating yourself.
I died laughing at the comment comparing Darth Vader to Stalin since he kills everyone around him. So damn funny! You guys are awesome and make an adorable couple. Glad you were able to introduce her to Star Wars and I’m glad she was open to it and actually enjoyed the movies so far.
I enjoy Lucy's reactions and comments; at the very least, she's giving Star Wars/sci-fi a try. I especially enjoy her nicknames for characters: "Oscar" for C-3PO, "Monkey" for Chewbacca Keep being you, Lucy 👍
She's getting there! Lol it's not over yet! But with Ben... Obi-Wan chose to become one with the Force, allowing him to transcend his physical form and exist as a Force ghost, a power unique to Jedi who have mastered this ability!
Well now you definitely should watch some Star Trek, unfortunately I don't know what I would recommend to start with. The movies aren't really indicative of what Star Trek is about. I think perhaps some well chosen episodes from Star Trek TNG?
Well both of us know almost nothing about Star Trek 🤦🏻♂️ we would definitely like some recomendations :) She has seen literally nothing and I've only seen the 3 recent movies but that's it.
@@ptthatswhatshesaidwatching the series is a daunting task. The movies not only paid fan service but new fans enjoyed them very much. I personally did not watch much of the series but was aware of it(I was born in '63 so I knew of the TV show especially with reruns) but really enjoyed the movies... All of them😊
@@ptthatswhatshesaid Start with the 1960's Original Series and do all of Star Trek in release order. This is the only way to understand how the hype was built. It will take you a long time to get through, though.
That was really delightful. For a scifi hating wife, you really understood everything that was happening and had a lot of smart things to say - I loved that you noticed that the Imperial Walker was not a good design for a tank. Luke understood R2 when they were in the X-wing because R2 was texting him on the little screen Luke kept looking at. The changes made from the original are that the added lots of windows in the cloud city, which makes sense, but it ruined the claustrophobic atmosphere that contributed to the sense of hopelessness. Another was they cut up the final action sequence by having pointless cutaways to Vader geting on his shuttle and heading back to his ship. The snow monster was barely shown in the original, which made it scarier. But overall, this is the least mutilated of the trilogy. I almost forgot - in the original when the monster spit out R2, Luke said "It's a good think you don't taste very good" - it's incomprehensible why they changed that line. Finally, the color editing was messed with and shifted everything red, which reduced the coldness of the city - it was more blue and yellow in the original. Return of the Jedi has a horrible change at the end. Hint: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
As an admitted Old Head, I would say that if you finish the original trilogy and then show Lucy Rogue One, you will have done your due diligence toward the franchise. If she’s not interested in going any further after that, then it won’t be because of a lack of effort or for not giving it a fair chance. She pays really great attention, especially considering her lukewarm interest in the genre, which is all anyone can ask.
I admit that I also like Rogue One, which is an anomaly in more recent Star Wars movies 😅 Depending on the interest of people here on RUclips , we shall see how much more we will dvelve in this franchise. But Rogue One I Will show her for sure
The darth Vader reveal was so unexpected that audiences back then didn’t believe it and assumed Vader was just manipulating Luke
Some audiences thought it was a ruse. Many others believed it.
And we had three years to wait.
Lucas added the bit of Yoda confirming it in ROTJ because so many fans still did not believe it.

In this episode we get the "Introduction to Jedi Philosophy". We learn how the Force works and how a Jedi should control his emotions.
The Jedi Order is somewhat like a Buddhist school, where priests learn to renounce their selfish desires and emotions, as they always lead to suffering. Selfishness, impatience, jealousy, fear, anger and hatred are all shunned. Romantic relationships are not allowed, as they can lead to selfish desire and jealousy. A Jedi Knight must be committed to loving "everyone" and not just a select few.
My favorite part is when Luke asks Yoda, "Is the Dark Side stronger?"
Yoda quickly says, "NO. Quicker, easier, more seductive."
Luke: "How do I know the good side from the bad?"
Yoda: "You will know when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense - never for attack."
Wish we had more time spent with Luke's training, love those scenes
@ptthatswhatshesaid in the old e.u the time given that Luke spent on dagobah was about 6 weeks in total .
If they spent mire time showing the training they would have had to make two movies.
Given Lucas was self financing empire that was not a option.
He had already ended up in the hospital due to stress.
That stress eventually destroyed his marriage to Marsha Lucas .
His ex who helped out w/ the script & editing .wich she won a Oscar for I think .
So as with most movies it comes down to the $$$ & time
The early 1970 were dominated by a string of all star blockbuster Disaster type movies, when Star Wars was released there were lines around the block waiting to get a ticket, it was nothing like people had ever seen before.
Yoda is not a cartoon in this film. He is a muppet.
Thanks for clearing that up
"The Empire Strikes Back" is the BEST "Star Wars" movie and one of the GREATEST films of all time. Easily my favorite John Williams film score.
“…a bit obvious but nice for the movie to have this, little twist.” She says, about the single biggest twist in movie history. 😂
It's because of twists like this back in the day, that younger people are programmed to look for the twist now. I like competent characters in fiction, but I appreciate competent humans even more.
ikr. "obvious," but she didnt predict it, despite annoyingly predicting 100 things, as if she's some kind of genius too good to watch movies made for us dumbs. her excuse was a cop out. i was starting to warm up to her humility, then she drops this brick of arrogance.
@slchance8839 😋 somebody's a little salty that different people are different. Smart folks do tend to make the "dumbs" feel a little insecure about their lack of desire to get smart.
@@slchance8839 I stopped watching because of that exact reason then thought I give things another chance for Star Wars... but now I'm out again. It is a pity as he seems like a chilled dude but she is insufferable 😔
I love her questions. We should always ask questions when things don't make sense.
I was 13 years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre. I was 16 years old in 1980 when I saw Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back in the Movie theatre. The special effects were amazing. Everyone in the movie theatre were shocked and gasped when Darth Vader told Luke who he was.
Same here, just turned 60... The original "star wars" (not "a new hope" then) was groundbreaking for its effects, even though Lucas changed them after. I've got the 4k77 original version without all the changes.
Before Obi Wan stands ready for Vade to kill him.. he looks over and sees that Luke is there.... he does this in this moment to martyrize himself. He clearly notices Luke and smiles for this reason. The reason Vader wasn't so surprised about Obi-Wan disappearing... It may have confused him but there is a lot going on and he used to be a Jedi so he's seen MANY MANY amazing things in his time as a Jedi Master.... he's probably seen other Jedi disappear before.
Darth Vader isn't the kind of guy to say "What the hell?!" but the fact that he stood there prodding Obi Wan's fallen robe is, I think, a good indication that he was thinking precisely that.
@ yeah it def threw him off but he’s also see a lot of shit so it makes sense he could quickly get over it.
The Empire Strikes Back has so many iconic scenes and lines. Even this small scene at 44:14. The look of fear that Leia has when she gazes at Darth Vader. Great editing and direction made Empire stand out for me as the best of Star Wars. (A New Hope will always be my first, true love!)
The energy required when Obi Wan becomes one with the force is so vast, it consumes his corporeal body
This is as good of an in-universe reason as any. I think the main behind-the-scenes reason he disappeared was that they wanted to have something dramatic to indicate that this wasn't a normal death.
As why he chose to sacrifice himself at all, I can only assume he knew there was no way he was escaping, and he chose to sacrifice himself so that Luke and everyone would leave without him. Also, if he hadn't voluntarily sacrificed himself, he might not have been come back as a ghost.
This doesn't explain Qui-Gon...
@@jamesltracyjr The prequels are kind of their own thing.
@@jamesltracyjrIn what way?
By lifting the X-Wing out of the water, Yoda proved to Luke that it was possible. Then Luke could open himself up to learning properly.
I have realised I like the older movies (that often started franchises years later) because they were never intended to give birth to a franchise. Like Alien, Terminator, Jaws, predator etc... They are complete stories
Very, very true!
13:30 - This track is actually called "The Imperial March" :)
Its her absolute favourite 😋👌🏻
Let’s be clear. The issue with the first reaction wasn’t that you didn’t like the movie. People have different tastes. The issue was that you decided you didn’t like it before the movie even started and then you looked for things to complain about.
Still does, characters hair, names, etc
Old Star Wars joke:
What is the body temperature of a Tauntaun?
Luke warm! 😂
To answer one of your questions about the first movie: Obi-Wan wanted to make certain Luke would witness his death. He knew that would strengthen Luke's resolve to fight for the side of the rebels. As to how Obi-Wan disappeared and became a force ghost when killed - that answer comes later.
When they filmed the scenes with Luke out in the blizzard, Norway had the worst snowstorm in like 50 years. So the film crew removed the snow from the doorway where they were staying nice and comfortable and make Mark Hamill go out into the storm to do his scenes. "You're doing great, keep going!!"
Ouch 🥶
Best star wars film ever made pls dont trash it 😢😂
Nah. :-) I personally liked the EP6. Lucas could have cashed in and given us something thrown together yet we got an 3 hours 15 minutes great epic.
@danwood4171 all that had was a bunch of Muppets.
"pls dont trash it"
A horrible and 'weak' sentiment. We only grow by having our ideas tested, and then musing about and/or countering that testing.
My first Star Wars film. I saw it in the movie theater with my children when it first came out. The Empire Strikes Back is also my favorite Star Wars film!
Big Star Wars fan but I can still appreciate Lucy's reaction for what it is. She is still gracious with her opinions and doesnt just call it terrible like some reactors do with things they don't like. Still a fan of you two.
No hate here. Happy that Lucy gave this one, many people’s Star Wars favorites, a chance. I believe that the Force is now strong in both of you!
Han Solo: The only man in the galaxy with the balls to try and shoot Darth Vader in the face on sight.
In the script, the Leiah/Han exchange was supposed to be "I love you"/"I love you too". But it just didn't sound like Han Solo. And both Harrison Ford and the director, Irving Kurshner, knew it. So Harrison Ford asked if he could try something else. And the director agreed. That's where we got "I love you"/"I know". The director loved it. That's Han Solo! He was very pleased.
Daniel: I'll do that sacrifice... "I'll watch Star Wars with [our kids]."
(Thinks to himself: "Just you try and STOP me from watching it with my kids!")
😂😂😂
Congratulations on owning some part in the reactions to the last reaction.
I figured it was a mindset and lack of understanding coming out, but also on your man to Read The Room no matter how excited he is. It’s on him to set up if he has some knowledge to do so.
Leia Organa is a strong-willed, determined woman, who doesn't mince words and demands courage from her fellow members of the Resistance. She has no time for con artists or fools, but she will make time for brave men with honor....even if they are scruffy-looking!
Fun fact: Mark Hamill’s first child was born while he was shooting ESB.
There's a rumour going on for years that he shot the scene where he fells from Cloud City after the battle with Darth Vader (where he lost his hand) after staying up all the previous night, while his wife was giving birth.
However, Mark himself set things straight, stating that he was originally given the day off for the birth of his son, but was called nine hours after delivery to come in for one shot. It was for a scene in the Battle of Hoth, where he was in front of a green screen firing up at an AT-AT and then had to dive headfirst in to some fake snow. During that shot he sprained his thumb, delaying filming of the lightsaber duel that was scheduled for the same week.
1:16:00 - Mandalorian is a great show. You should definitely watch it. I highly recommend it. The baby Yoda is not a Mandalorian. The baby yoda is under the protection of a Mandalorian. It's not actually Yoda, but another member of his species. Mandalorians are great warriors who follow their own special code. Their planet was destroyed by the Empire, so they don't like Imperials, but for some reason they never joined the Rebel Alliance either.
Interesting 🤔 since I've never watched it I really thought that the Mandalorian was the "baby yoda"
@@ptthatswhatshesaid If you know who Boba Fett is, that's what they look like
OMG, I think Lucy might have liked this one...
Weirdly enough I think you're right 😅
Even though she will forever say that this is not her thing
She doesn't HAVE to love Star Wars. It's kind of interesting seeing Star Wars through the lense of someone who isn't a lifelong fan.
YES. Having a non-fan watch and critique the films is refreshing. Most refreshing!
@Stogie2112
One of my favorite things is seeing a particularly cool thing break through the disinterest.
This is the best of the franchise. I got to see the Darth Vader reveal for real. We went to a large theater near UCLA. The gasp of horror was awesome.
The music for the ending credits is, imho, the greatest musical composition ever. It has three themes with complicated melodies and chord progressions.
And the people who don't like your reactions to Star Wars fall into one of three categories:
1. Nerds
2. Geeks
3. Nerds and Geeks.
😂😂😂
@@ptthatswhatshesaid I think Anthony Daniels, the actor who played Oscar, lives in England. I hope you can meet him someday.
A note on why Han was put in carbon freezing .. Harrison Ford unlike Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher had not agreed to do the 2 sequels after the first movie. George Lucas created a way that Han not be necessary for EP6.. Before the premiere of EP5 Harrison had agreed to do EP6. 😊 Also the reveal that Vader was Luke's father was the biggest secrets ever kept in cinema. It was filmed so that Vader said "Obi-Wan killed your father" the change was added post production and only 4 people were aware; George Lucas, director Irvin Kirshner, James Earl Jones (voice of Vader) and Mark Hamill. Mark tells the story the reaction he got from Harrison at the premiere.. he turned to Hamill and said "Hey kid! You didn't F'in tell me?"
Very interesting!
Daniel & Lucy, do you know of the Star Wars cameo in "Raiders of The Lost Ark"?
When Indiana Jones and his friend Sallah are first opening the Ark, we can see hieroglyphics on the column behind Indiana. Behind him and to his right. Among the hieroglyphics are the images of R2D2 and C3PO. You have to look quick, though! We only see it for a second or two.
Star Wars is more fairy tale than sci fi
I have a story related to something said in the movie! I was in the Navy on submarines, and in January 2003 I was on my second submarine, and the end of my contract was coming up and I had already decided not to sign up for another four years. We were doing a fire drill on the nuclear powered fast attack submarine, USS Asheville SSN-758. All submariners must be "qualified in submarines" and also "advanced firefighter". So I was there with my FF gear on, which includes an "annunciator", device that makes it so others can hear you when you are wearing a FF mask.
It also broadcasts the sound of your breathing if it it is heavy enough, so you can sound like Darth Vader.
Since I was about the get out of the Navy, I made darth vader sounds, and then I said, "Luke, *I* am your father!" in a Darth Vader voice! And someone said "shut up [my last name]". I chuckled, but softly enough that the annunciator would not pick it up. I then said "search your feelings, luke! You know it to be true! Join me, and we will rule the galaxy as father and son!" lmao.
Normally, I would probably get Captain's Mast for behaving that way, meaning, appear before the Captain so that he may punish me as he sees fit (in other branches, this would be known as "Article 15"). But, since I was getting out of the Navy, nobody cared. But some thought it was funny lmao. 😂🤣😂
A few things you'll notice as you watch the movies, is how the concept and construction of R2 changes. The prequels have him doing things he should have been able to do in the originals. I don't recall Lucas or anyone saying the movies were for kids.
12:01 that is called bacta it is to do a very quick summary it is a healing liquid which some people mistake for water also a Nerf is a Star Wars version of a cow if you cared also 14:54 the huge ship is called the Executor in the lore it is 19 kilometers long
As to why the body disappeared.. it is never explained. I think it is based on the fact that energy and matter are two sides to the same thing on the quantum level. I think the idea is that the sum total of the energy trapped in the mass of the body got transformed into energy, making them a lot stronger.
Look at the amount of energy you get when matter and anti-matter collides and transforms into pure energy. The amount of energy you get from matter totally transforming into energy is stupendeous. I think parts of the spiritual community have been enamored with this ever since Einstein formulated E=mc² and that this idea found its way into Star Wars.
This is the biggest plot twist in the history of cinema.
I liked most of the Fast and the Furious movies. The series changed from being about racing to being action movies. Bringing in Jonathan Statham and Dwayne Johnson brought a breath of fresh air as well.
I really can't say much about it because she has seen way more than me. I only clearly remember the first 2 😅
I'm glad you enjoyed this one better than the first one. I did not think any of your criticisms of the first movie were unfounded. If you were expecting a serious drama and got more of a soap opera with comedy, it would skew your appreciation. Also when this was made, there weren't a lot of strong female leads, so having a sarcastic princess who could take care of herself was a bit unique. You will really enjoy the third one, guaranteed.
Lucy, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. It is your destiny..
She is ready to complete her training 😋
1:09:22 - Ben Kenobe wanted Luke to see him get struck down. I guess to motivate him.
They do try to explain what happened more in the later movies.
Darth Lucy. The Force is strong with her. 🤭 Great reaction guys!!
Ahahah thank you! 🤗
Wow. You know what? Lucy is absolutely beautiful. I don't know why I never realized that before.
Interesting thing about Star Wars universe is most of the planets are one environment, unlike earth. You either have a desert planet like Tatooine. A city planet like one of the planets in one of the prequels ., Ice planet, water, planet, jungle planet, or swamp marsh planet. I’m sure there’s more but this is all I can think of at the time. Some of these planets, you will not experience until the sequels or prequels .
Besides those, there are a lot of other Star Wars movies that you might enjoy or programs that have several seasons. One of my favorites is the Mandalorian.
Or Ashoka. So the Obi-Wan series there’s a bunch more series on there that I’m just not familiar with including one on how they film some of the Star Wars stuff early on entitled light and magic
The shows that we have received the most recomendations are Andor and The Mandalorian.
Ashoka I think its the first time I hear about it
An adult level of the Star Wars films is the incorporating the archetypal myths in the characters and stories. This is one reason they resonate with so many different people.
These movies looked different when projected. Everything looked absolutely real. In 1980 the special effects were mind blowing.
Now with it being CGI, special effects mostly bore me.
@@billolsen4360 Yes, no depth. When Vader took the blaster from Han notice the sparks and rolling smoke. They don't put in sparks or rolling smoke anymore. Looks fake as hell.
Fun fact, Leia insulting Han about being a stupid dirty and ugly peasant essentially (Nerfs are like sheep that you can look after and breed to make food in an Age of Empires style SW video game: Galactic Battlegrounds. It's only while playing this game that I understood the meaning of the insults), is a direct call back to her used to being royalty... Royalty that she's not anymore thanks to the Empire destroying Alderaan.
What you've got to understand with the Empire is that their weapons are more designed to terrorize than being really effective. Real tanks would of course be much better.
Star Wars has always been serious. Not for children really. Not very "realistic" is what i think you mean though. With each film the conflict becomes increasingly more internal and enotionally complex. In Empire Luke's flaws are exposed and in ROTJ he must show he's mastered them to succeed which is brilliant writing. However in ROTJ ewoks are silly lol.
George Lucas wrote this epic screenplay and realized it could not fit into one movie, so he began to break it apart into different movies. So he took the middle part which became episodes 4, 5 and 6. Many years later he made the prequels that led into the original movie.
Once Lucas sold the rights to Disney was when it began to go a little crazy.
Star Wars has more in common with Harry Potter and lord of the rings then it does with traditional science-fiction like Star Trek, or Dr. Who.
Voice of Yoda is done by puppeteer Frank Oz, who also does voices for the Muppets Miss piggy and fuzzy the bear to just mention a few
On it face star wars is for children. But there is deep metaphysical meaning to the story. An understanding of quantum physics is necessary as well if you want to fully understand the metaphor.
Chewbacca is not a monkey, clearly a monkey doesn’t look like him. lol
Chewbacca is a Wookie. Just to clarify for Lucy.
She knows. Just refuses to learn.
Ahahah yes she knows, but for this saga she has made up her mind, his name is "Monkey"!
"I love the monkey!" 🥰
"He has a name!"
🤣🤣🤣
One of my favorite little details is that Chewie is over 200 years old and barely middle aged, so given his lifespan Han is basically a really smart and troublemaking dog to him 😅 Imagine being drawn into a galactic war by your rascal pet...
They're always talking "years" in these movies, but are they earth years, Yadda years or Degobah years?
For the record, I loved your Star Wars reaction. Such a fresh take! I fear that the comments section has broken your spirit. Maintain your smart, astute, and snarky reactions no matter how hallowed (or perhaps because of) the material reviewed may be.
luke not being able to lift his ship is a symptom of him being too old. he's learned to expect physics to work a certain way and it clouds his ability to use space magic to ignore physics.
As well as his disbelief it is possible. As he admits "I dont believe it" and Yoda responds "That is why you fail"
Disbelief is I think the main reason yeah
Everyone remember, they’re just movies, it’s not life or death, not everyone likes what you or I like and you might not like what I like. Everybody chill, enjoy the reactions for the reactions sake, a beautiful woman and a handsome man watching a movie, good enough😀
🙏🏻🙏🏻😅
'...unless he has some device in his hand that's magnetic.' Used the Force, he did.
I usually suggest at this point to watch the prequels, but unless the politics of it is interesting to her, she's not going to dig it, and I doubt she'll want to go further than ROTJ, especially for the "confusing" parts. And she doesn't "get" Leia. She's the leader of a rebellion. She hasn't taken the time to just be a woman and not just a leader, and Han finally got her to show that softer side of herself. Old school fans like myself will always see her as "our" Princess, and we love her just as she is.
You're definitely right that this movie is more fantasy than SF.
The Empire is massive. There were 1.5 million member planets and 69 million colonies.
The Imperial fleet was made up of 25,000 Imperial class Star Destroyers and many other type of ships.
It's okay Lucy. I forgive you. Just don't let it happen again.😃
19:02 Princess Leia Organa is the Princess of Alderaan and respected representative of the seat within the galatic old republic (however she is actually by blood known by another name of which you’ll find out) 😉
The team was just introduced to each other in the first one. They now now each other and have a better rapport in the 2nd one.
Yeah, the characters work REALLY well in this one!
The "monkey", Chewbacca, is actually based off a dog. George Lucas had an Alaskan Malamute and that's where Chewey's design comes from .... so I've heard. Although I don't see much resemblance to that breed. Chewbacca looks closer to a Briard (dog breed) like the dog in the sitcom "Married with Children".
It probably went through several iterations. I think I remember the studio wanted chewie to wear pants.
anyone getting mad needs a better hobby. dont listen to them you all good, thank you for the videos guys
Seriously, the whole point is us fans getting to share our favorite things with new people. Not everyone is going to love the same things, but it is that the films live on, immortalized in new hearts.
this is just my opinion but if you continue with star wars after these first three go straight to andor i bet youll like it :)
@user-im2ex9zw6j agreed. I tell folks, the OG trilogy, Rogue One and Andor. I got super jaded when the prequels came out and I lost my faith completely at the sequel trilogy. Some of the animated stuff was OK I guess but it's not for me.
@@user-im2ex9zw6j You need to stop telling people what you think they need.
The organization of the movies is easy. There are three trilogies: prequel, original and sequel. There are also two movies between the prequel and original trilogies.
She is correct. The three trilogies let the entire conflict play out. Aside from sideways stories which explore aspects of the universe, adding perspective on the trilogies, there is no further theme to play out before you begin repeating yourself.
35:45 Lucy's villain arc starting... She would do a great villain though ahhaahahahah
(And to defeat her, just show cute animals)
Yoda was voiced by Frank Oz who also did, amongst others Kermit the Frog in the Muppets.
Kermit was Jim Henson.
@@jameskinstle6874 My mistake. He did Fozzy Bear and Miss Piggy.
Miss Piggy! Kermit was Jim Henson
Interesting 🤔😯
If someone doesn’t like this movie they will
Never be a Star Wars fan.
I died laughing at the comment comparing Darth Vader to Stalin since he kills everyone around him. So damn funny! You guys are awesome and make an adorable couple. Glad you were able to introduce her to Star Wars and I’m glad she was open to it and actually enjoyed the movies so far.
Open to it? Are you kidding? She's overflowing with preconceived nonsense and condescension.
Thank you! 🤗 Its being very fun so far 😋
Great reactions! She'll be a STAR WARS fan before long!
Star wars is more of an epic fantasy just set in space than true science fiction tbh
1:16:17 The Mandalorian TV show takes place five years after the third one.
Lightsaber blades are made out of plasma, so she's not far off saying it's like a lightning bolt as both are forms as plasma.
Don't apologize for not liking Star Wars. It was made for kids and adolescent men.
Not liking Star Wars just means you are very womanly.
Hmmmm . . . . I've seen some pretty 'womanly' women who love Star Wars . . .
1:11:23 Lucy's favorite is: "the monkey." 😛😜🤘🤘
Let's not even play that game. That's it! 🤭 😂
I get the feeling that Vader may be Lucy's spirit animal, she seems quite taken with his method of command 😅😂
I enjoy Lucy's reactions and comments; at the very least, she's giving Star Wars/sci-fi a try.
I especially enjoy her nicknames for characters: "Oscar" for C-3PO, "Monkey" for Chewbacca
Keep being you, Lucy 👍
Thank you ☺️
With this one she had quite a good time 🤗
She's getting there! Lol it's not over yet! But with Ben... Obi-Wan chose to become one with the Force, allowing him to transcend his physical form and exist as a Force ghost, a power unique to Jedi who have mastered this ability!
Well at least she is getting more knowledgeable 😅😅
Well now you definitely should watch some Star Trek, unfortunately I don't know what I would recommend to start with. The movies aren't really indicative of what Star Trek is about. I think perhaps some well chosen episodes from Star Trek TNG?
Well both of us know almost nothing about Star Trek 🤦🏻♂️ we would definitely like some recomendations :)
She has seen literally nothing and I've only seen the 3 recent movies but that's it.
@@ptthatswhatshesaidwatching the series is a daunting task. The movies not only paid fan service but new fans enjoyed them very much. I personally did not watch much of the series but was aware of it(I was born in '63 so I knew of the TV show especially with reruns) but really enjoyed the movies... All of them😊
@@ptthatswhatshesaid Start with the 1960's Original Series and do all of Star Trek in release order. This is the only way to understand how the hype was built. It will take you a long time to get through, though.
"My hair is way better... I'm more humble..." 🤔
🤣🤣🤣
That was really delightful. For a scifi hating wife, you really understood everything that was happening and had a lot of smart things to say - I loved that you noticed that the Imperial Walker was not a good design for a tank.
Luke understood R2 when they were in the X-wing because R2 was texting him on the little screen Luke kept looking at.
The changes made from the original are that the added lots of windows in the cloud city, which makes sense, but it ruined the claustrophobic atmosphere that contributed to the sense of hopelessness. Another was they cut up the final action sequence by having pointless cutaways to Vader geting on his shuttle and heading back to his ship. The snow monster was barely shown in the original, which made it scarier. But overall, this is the least mutilated of the trilogy. I almost forgot - in the original when the monster spit out R2, Luke said "It's a good think you don't taste very good" - it's incomprehensible why they changed that line.
Finally, the color editing was messed with and shifted everything red, which reduced the coldness of the city - it was more blue and yellow in the original. Return of the Jedi has a horrible change at the end. Hint: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
@@jpiccone1 She didn’t have a clue what was going on.
I don't really get why the constante changes to the movies 🤷🏻♂️
As an admitted Old Head, I would say that if you finish the original trilogy and then show Lucy Rogue One, you will have done your due diligence toward the franchise. If she’s not interested in going any further after that, then it won’t be because of a lack of effort or for not giving it a fair chance. She pays really great attention, especially considering her lukewarm interest in the genre, which is all anyone can ask.
I admit that I also like Rogue One, which is an anomaly in more recent Star Wars movies 😅
Depending on the interest of people here on RUclips , we shall see how much more we will dvelve in this franchise. But Rogue One I Will show her for sure
Ben sacrificed himself at the right time to allow the others to escape. If he waited longer it would be more likely they would be captured.
I liked it how the empire strikes back is the greatest movie of all time.
