I love that Tarkin is the only person in the entire Imperial military who can tell Vader "chill, homeboy"
He is the boss
He is an untouchable...He doesn't rule over Vader but Vader knows how to act around him. Emperor needs Tarkin.
@@dresheraton9276 As the equivalent of a fleet admiral and a governor, Tarkin has superiority over Vader. He's the one with the uniform, whilst Vader's just the Emperor's henchman. In Empire, Vader's given personal control over a fleet of Star Destroyers because the Emperor wants him to capture Luke. In that he only has to deal with lower down admirals and generals who he can push around and execute if they upset him.
Word. I recommend the Vader Session, "can I tell you something about being a Daddy...?"
Aside from Palpatine of course
"Yes lets insult a guy whose clad to the bone in black armor and is seven feet fucking tall that use magic powers. What could possibly go wrong?"
No doubt. And Motti didn't exactly look like a Bruce Lee warrior, so he definitely had a "whoops, I should know my audience better" moment.
Yeah, well he was cocky and arrogant and was probably trying to show off in front of Grand Moff and the rest.
He didn't actually think he had magical powers. And all of these guys out rank him. Vader is just some lacky.
He can't help it, it's those massive Irish balls
he's only second to Tarkin
I love how Tarkin just lets Vader have his moment for a few seconds before telling him to release the officer.
Deep down, he probably knew Motti (the officer getting choked) had it coming, but knew he still needed him around, so decided to let Vader have his moment before stopping him.
Not even he likes d#ckriders.
Well, the fear of Darth Vader kept the local officers in line.
What makes Tarkin think he can control Vader he’s not a Sith Lord as he is. It’s not like he has a deactivation switch on his risk that will disable his healing system.
Tell that to Admiral Yularen (Left of Motti)
The single greatest line in any Star Wars movie. "I find your lack of faith disturbing". That was surely Darth Vaders most badass line.
Very subtle, but it's almost like Vader is mocking Motti's inability to recognize the value of having a belief system. "Sad religion," he says, which is a lack of any faith. And thus stems Motti's obsession with technological and tangible strength, which Vader quickly nullifies by demonstrating that there very much is a greater power than technology.
Apology accepted Captain Needa, is not a bad one!
He says while choking the life out of him with the force. Lmao agreed. Best line ever! Just to prove his point there is a greater power.
@@user-uq4yp6zv5h Yep, that's a good one as well.
Nope "you are as clumsy as you are stupid" is Vader's best line. And it's the best line to describe you !
Who ever decided to cast James Earl Jones to voice Darth Vader, and Peter Cushing to act as Tarkin, made the greatest decision in cinematic history.
Gar96 i CANT EVER imagine on earth Vader voice being any different.
german voice is by far the best one.
Christopher Lee actually chosen by George Lucas to play Grand Moff Tarkin but he refused then let his best friend Peter Cushing to take the role.
Peter Cushing was also offered the role of Kenobi but he turned it down for Tarkin
@@CaptainJetstream That's amazing! Aw man if only Count Dooku survived the Clone Wars and was a key Player during the Galactic Civil War! That is an awesome fact bro! 👌👍
That first guy talking about the Death Star's weaknesses has to be the smartest man in the entire Empire.
In the 2015 vader comic series, Palpatine actually puts him in charge and makes vader his subordinate for a while.
From what I read The First Death Star really blown up from it over heating and not the laser blast hitting it.
He is unusually wise for an organization soon to be dominated by yes men. Obviously an officer who predated the empire.
So they build a 2nd one where you can hit the main reactor too ! and the 3rd one built into a planet to be destroyed too ! you would think everyone would go AWOL than to die for the empire by the millions !
@@richardg1426 don’t forget Admiral Gender Studies invented a new way to destroy things, too.
Star Wars is dead.
The way Vader interacts with the two arguing officers reveals a lot about his style of command. He regards Tagge's concerns as entirely legitimate and addresses them by telling him that the recovery of the stolen plans is being prioritized. He recognizes that Tagge isn't wasting anyone's time by bringing this up, as it is a real, serious concern, and he makes sure that it's made known that this hasn't gone unnoticed up the chain of command. On the other hand, he's quite put off by Motti's flippant attitude towards the stolen plans, acknowledging that the Rebellion is indeed gaining strength and to continue to underestimate them would be very unwise. He offers a stern but not threatening warning against Motti's smug overconfidence in the power of the Death Star, knowing well that there is indeed a far greater power in the universe, and when Motti decides to mock and insult the Force, he takes action to correct him and show him precisely why he's wrong about "the ultimate power in the universe". It shows that an officer who has followed orders and does his job with diligence needn't fear any rebuke from Vader, but he has absolutely no patience for incompetence due to arrogance or short-sightedness.
But all the officers are correct in their concerns and even in the assessment that whatever Vader does is insignificant next to the power of flipping a switch and destroying a planet and Vader force choking the officer for it, only shows the other officers he's got nothing else.
That's not leadership, that a classic mistake of authoritarian leaders not allowing any criticism.
Vader is an extremely skilled combatant and a very powerful force user, so yes, the disrespect isn't warranted but the point stands. Compared to the Death Star, the force ability of Vader is nothing more than a party trick.
@@PeterJavi So... you imagine that Vader's force-choking of Motti was the full power of the Force, then?
Also, Motti was not offering legitimate criticism, he was being an arrogant, overconfident fool who thought the Empire's newest flashy toy was the be-all, end-all of power. That was disproven at Delta Yavin. It was Motti who had nothing else and Darth Vader was reminding him of that fact.
"That's not leadership, that a classic mistake of authoritarian leaders not allowing any criticism."
I suggest you actually watch the movies again and pay attention. Darth Vader does not simply dismiss criticism or questions, or silence those who offer them up because he can't tolerate backtalk. He allows officers to freely express their opinions on multiple occasions and accords respect toward officers with proven competence, such as the Imperial officer who questioned the wisdom of holding Princess Leia captive, Gen. Tagge, Gen. Veers, Moff Jerjerrod (who felt he could express his opinion to Vader that the Emperor was being unreasonable in his expectations of completing the new Death Star), Adm. Piett. He even allowed Adm. Ozzel several chances until he blew the element of surprise at Hoth.
@@PeterJavi Hope you’re not comparing the Death Star to a force choke, which is nothing to Vader. 😂
Let’s not forget the amount of people required to man the Death Star.
Vader is correct, the full power of the Death Star is a joke when compared to the Force as the Force is limitless.
@@PeterJavi Darth Vader is canonically at least planet level, he can hold back the water of an entire planet, ripped open a hole in the universe, is comparable to Darth nihilus who ate planets, and more. Additionally, even though the upper levels of the force are that powerful, if you’re extremely force sensitive you don’t even need to be capable of that sort of thing, as the force can guide you to the result you want. For instance, luke skywalker blew up a Death Star with force assisted flying abilities despite not being anywhere close to the death star in terms of raw power, and darth Vader is aware of this and how powerful the force is, hence his comment that the Death Star is insignificant to the force, which was proven right by Luke.
SHORT!?
Tarkin: Fear will keep them in line
Vader: *uses fear to keep admiral in line*
Tarkin: Stop that
well.....i dont think his intent was keeping him in line
Dead people can't feel fear
To be fair, Tarkin claimed fear would keep the local systems in line. He didn’t mean it to say Vader could choke a sucker, just cause he was insulted.
tbf the point had been made, he didn't need to take it any further. the point being "mouth off again and i wont tell him to stop"
he let him choke the guy for a pretty long time yk
Darth Vader is so badass he can talk and breathe at the same time.
@S D The thing is his respirator breathing sound should not be happening if he is talking.
@S D No I mean you still hear the breathing sound effect, while he is talking at the same time.
Talk, breath....And Strangle!
@@samtemdo8 It is suppose to happen when he talks because It is directly linked to his body lungs, so he doesn't need air to talk, only when he removed his helmet that his natural voice is used, but his suit allow him to talk and breath at the same time. It is explained in The Rise of Darth Vader.
Omg, I've been wondering if someone noticed it too since I haven't seen any comments on this.
"don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed" says darth vader, a technological terror
I can only picture Bloons TD when I hear technological terror
@sl0re10 Excellent foreshadowing.
@sl0re10 Han Solo saved him but i guess the force wills it
Well, no, Vader is a force terror. Technologically, he's just a walking hospital bed.
He was right. The force overcame him and the death star.
*The respect that Vader has for Tarkin is something to behold. No one other than Palpatine himself could even think about speaking to Vader that way without serious consequences (usually death). Yet even with that respect, Vader doesn't respond to Tarkin with "General" or "Sir". He just acknowledges him with a generic deadpan "As you wish." response, like Tarkin was just making a casual suggestion for appetizers for the table.*
I honestly wouldn't call it respect honestly. I think tolerance or understanding are better words.
Vader doesn't really respect anyone except for Palpatine kind of. Even though a lot of stories show that Vader kinda hates palps.
@@theautomator8372 He has a great deal of respect for Tarkin, and I encourage you to read some of the amazing lore about the relationship.
It's probably because he had respect for Tarkin before turning into Vader, also Tarkin always treated Vader with the utmost respect.
Tarkin and Vader are basically equals in the Emperor's eyes. The same goes for people like Sate Pestage and Mas Amedda. They're all members of Palpatine's inner circle, who are trusted with the authority to commend his wishes to anyone below them. So Tarkin and Vader are, from a logistical and political perspective, brothers, and Tarkin is like the one brother telling the other to stop beating up the neighbor kid because he knows he'll get in trouble.
Well Palpatine did tell Vader he can't kill Tarkin as he is needed for his plans.
Unless you were there in 1977 you have no clue just how absolutely incredible seeing this movie back then was for the first time!
I never experienced it but my parents did, and they said this was way better than sequels. I never saw prequels in theater though, but my brother did and he said it was good.
The original, pre Lucas adding kiddie theatrics was awesome!
I was there.
I was there... And I realized the banality of evil at that moment. 😒 A collection of semi competent scum trying to find out the weakest one to sacrifice to the boss.
Yes, my brother and I went because we knew how good American Graffiti was, and the preview and poster were very cool. We walked out just blown away.
Dude had some stones to challenge Vader. I'll give him that.
Like people knew he could do it too. Lol
He may have had balls, but he didn’t have brains.
Bombarded Slots of Incomprehensible Madness and what does having balls but no brains lead to.....death lol
@TheGreaterGood80 x
He was just furious with the commander that had some sense in him and at Darth Vader for saying that the Force is stronger than the Death Star. And that... (Takes a bow) ...concludes the reason why he challenged Darth Vader.
That first officer actually seems like a good leader. He’s not overly arrogant and doesn’t underestimate his enemies.
He’s just as good as Thrawn.
@@Green.Guy.2187 Tagge was one of the few with a brain in that room.
@@stormbreaker415 Yeah he was clearly thinking logic in that meeting, and it's laughable that Tarkin and the others weren't.
Why does this shock people the empire wasnt incompetent.....
@@dionlarman7489 they were full of idiots.
There’s so much well-hidden exposition in this scene:
-we get that there’s a conflict of opinion within the Imperial High Command on the efficacy of the Death Star
-there’s the first mentions of the Emperor, the Senate, and the Old Republic, all of which impress the viewer on the scale of this universe
-Tarkin has (some) authority over Vader, and clearly has seniority over the rest of the admirals and generals
-likewise, Tarkin doesn’t take well to being questioned or subverting the chain of authority (he lets Vader choke Admiral Motti for a few long seconds, then calls further discussion pointless)
-the Force and Jedi are viewed as archaic traditions by modern society (hence why Motti felt comfortable/arrogant enough to mock them in front of Vader)
Per The Emperor's orders Tarkin outranks Vader only on The Death Star so that Vader doesn't get any ideas of using The Death Star against The Emperor.
As it is stated in The Rule of Two: "One to embody power, the other to crave it."
Other than The Force what is the greatest power in the galaxy at that time is
It's funny how little Palpatine is mentioned before his first physical appearance in ROTJ. Sure, he had a hologram, but you really see firsthand how much he had set the Empire up to rule itself so that he could focus on becoming a literal Sith demon. Yet the mere mention of his name demonstrates his immense power.
@@tinobemellow
His *unlimited* power
@@tinobemellowso empire can exist without because obi wan never mentioned him just Vader in his show and new hope
Like how in the beginning, you can see an empty chair. Most likely belonging to Orson Krennic, who died shortly before this scene.
I like that cool admiral in white with mustaches. Doesn't move a muscle, when he sees the other guy choking he is still cool, just observes. Of all other guys in the room is most relaxed. Probably a veteran from Clone wars that have seen it all.
Technically, Yularen was a Colonel in the Imperial Security Bureau.
He's a reoccurring character in the 3d clone wars show as republic admiral, by a New Hope he's the head of the Imperial Security Bureau which are basically the secret police
He's learned to always be relaxed and to never show emotion to survive. In a government like that, when you show any sort of emotion, someone will resent you for it so you forces yourself to always look cool and like whatever is going on is something that doesn't bother you because you can easily handle it.
Why in God's name would you talk shit to Vader... He's lucky Tarkin saved his life.
This! He’s creepy as fuck just walking around... I’m pretty sure this commanding officer is also aware of what he can do as well...
Probably because Han and Motti were either kids or not even born when Palpatine had Vader wipe the majority of the Jedi out so they considered The Force a myth.
@@Rezzylite I don't think so, he questioned Vader's abilities, assuming them to be mere superstition.
The officer didn't know Vader personally or seen him use the force in such a manner hence why he talked shit to him
At this point in the timeline, the Jedi and their legacy are considered little more than either propaganda or a hokey religion, like Han Solo states earlier in the movie.
This is an absolutely flawless dialogue scene. It sets up so much about the world and is filled with memorable lines.
Not enough women, minorities, and handsome young men. Also, one of the characters should say "well, that just happened" at some point.
-Disney
Couldn’t agree more.
@@TheSundayShooterhey boomer, that’s literally the point! The empire is largely homogenous humans at this time and the rebellion is quite literally based on diversity and acceptance of all. You can see that play out in the ORIGINAL trilogy.
I can certainly understand being critical of the new films, which have serious flaws of all kinds, but this is not a legitimate one.
Darth Vader calmy choking the officer with the Force and displaying his effortless power is somehow terrifying.
A few seconds were enough to show the infinite gap between a mere human and a Sith lord. This scene is gold.
Force users are frightening. Imagine having ridiculous telekinetic powers that be used on you if they hate you. Yeah, fuck that.
That is to say calmly.
@@chrisnichols9014 it’s not telekenetic bozo, he can conjure storms, lightning some can even bring themselves back from the dead
@@warrioremperor6320 It very much is largely telekinetic power.
I like the way his throat moves
Actors here actually make a believable impression of people that are part of a large military bureaucracy. Meanwhile everyone in the First Order acts as if they were in permanent caffeine withdrawal
The 1st order bullcrap was beyond absurd.
Here: professional men making plans
Disney: WE’RE NAZIS AND WE’RE THE BAD GUYS RAAAAAHHHHH AAAAAAHHHHHHH
Thank you Disney
The Disney trilogy was garbage in every aspect.
..they grew up during or actually were in, WWII.
Call it an extreme form of method acting.
To be fair, most people in real life militaries are caffeine addicts
Every single military officer chugs coffee like they need it to live
1:33 I love that Vader just strolls over to him casually. "Well, I guess I gotta fuck this guy up now."
+TJohanis42 Same thing I was thinking. Although you won't hear it, you can just imagine him sighing when he's walking towards him.
+Saleem Frazer "Dammit, now I gotta choke a bitch."
+TJohanis42 Time for a boardroom demonstration of "don't fuck with the Vader."
yeah, i find vader kinda funny in this scene xD
***** lol.
Will never forget the day I watched this with my 8 year old daughter for the first time in which she asked “why would that man make Vader mad like that” or something to that effect? Of course she was already exposed to Star Wars in general, but never watched ANH yet. Was so proud of her that day!
"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the high ground. Or given you clairvoyance enough to find out that you owe 18 years in back child support to two foster children who up until this point have been unknown to you."
Based on Tarkin’s reaction, I conclude this is not the first time Vader’s ever done this in his presence.
Vader has poor management skills and challenges with controlling his emotions.
I guess... he finds lack of faith disturbing
Tarkin's thoughts lay just beneath his calm persona, the dude is a complete BOSS. His seething rage and hate for anyone not willing take every measure possible makes him a feared commander that even the Emperor admires when it comes to perseverance.
ruclips.net/video/PTc1YRqs160/видео.html
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And tarkin the only person besides the emperor to control Vader…as Vader he still respected Tarkin like anakin did
Notice how Vader's breathing starts to speed up when choking the Imperial officer, signifying his rising anger and rage. God I love those little details lol
@Timbo Doonovan LOL
@Timbo Doonovan it can be both
@danielsedillo80
I never realised that til i just saw your comment. Great detail.
The sound editing in every Star Wars movie is excellent
There's no scene like this in either the prequel or sequel trilogies. Yet people still watch this
I never realized that the line "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force" foreshadows Luke destroying the death star using the force
This is arguably the most important scene in Star Wars. It sets up the the vast majority of the lore in a very efficient scene.
Not really, because the lore it sets up is changed in later movies. Lore like the Death Star being essential to maintain order (and the empire). Or the lore that Darth Vader is subservient to other Imperial officers.
@@koalabrowniehe isn’t subservient to the other officers, tarkin and vader are equals and have mutual respect for each other
@@masterdeetectiv9520Well the other officers respect Tarkin more than they do Vader
@@koalabrownie that’s because a lot of them don’t really like vader
in retrospect, it makes me tear up (hyperbole), even the words "Old Republic" are uttered; just as important as the "for a 1000 generations" line of Kenobi. The entire SW franchise was established with those 2 lines.
The selection of James Earl Jones as the voice of Darth Vader was one of the most brilliant decisions in the history of cinema.
Very true, his voice is so unique and deep that it makes him well-suited to the role of someone who is supposed to be scary and intimidating (like Vader), as well as someone meant to be a kind & world-wise older character (like Mufasa). And to think, he used to have confidence issues about speaking in public because he had a stutter, and yet now he's one of the most respected, revered, and beloved voice actors in the world. From humble beginnings to the top of the world. If only all of us could be so fortunate. :)
@@gamester512 fortunate, sure. But also incredibly hardworking and persistent.
Orson Welles was the second choice.
He could even play Vader in his entirety since he was very tall himself, at least compared to rest of the cast.
truly
can't we just appreciate the acting of that commander who pretended to be choked?
No because it was trash
Looked like his throat was actually being crushed
Plot twist he was actually being force choked.
It's not just that either, it's when Tarkin says "fear of this battle station", his mouth turns into the most _subtle_ smug grin, because it more or less validates everything he just said.
@@fellowdanbarber3323 🤦
"Enough of this! Vader, release him!", "As you wish!" Grand Moff Tarkin is a beast.
People don’t always lack faith, but when they do, I find it disturbing.
It's taken me this long to realise that Vaders line of "the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force" is foreshadowing of Luke using the force to destroy the Death Star
Yep....
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
It could also be a reference to Darth Nihilus who has the ability to use the force to eat entire planets.
And Motti gets choked just as he’s about to fully utter the words: “Hidden Fortress,” the name of the 1958 film by Kurosawa, from which Lucas stole a great many of the scenes and character-relationships which make up this movie (it’s a good flick and worth checking out).
All the sfx aside there’s quite a subtle and clever script underneath, which is how they were able to land such a cinematic titan as Guinness -so favoured by David Lean, who Lucas likewise idolised- because Alec found it such a page-turner. The pan when the two enter until Tarkin sits down is so well done as to be unnoticeable: Lean was notorious for a dislike of this camera technique leading to his using them exceptionally sparingly.

"Yep, now I am gonna have to choke a bitch." lol
The less people knew about the Force, the less likely they were to gain mastery enough over it to threaten Palpatine, basically, so Palpatine made sure to 'encourage' disbelief in the Force so people wouldn't try to use it and figure out how to beat him with it. Remember, when the galaxy was full of Jedi (relatively speaking), Palpatine couldn't operate out in the open. Even his ability to blind the Jedi to his presence had its limits. Presumably, a sufficient number of decent Jedi would have been able to threaten and subsequently break his power (turns out one was the magic number, but let's ignore the plot armor for now.). There's also the fact that Palpatine is a Sith, and the Sith hate the Jedi like the Bloods hate the Crips.
Yes let's mock the giant who uses magic, what could possibly go wrong XD

This movie should've been renamed Star Wars Episode IV: The Magic Giant
I love how Tarkin lets Vader choke the man just for a little bit. He understands that they guy needed to be put in his place but was more useful alive than dead.
"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerers ways"
He obviously never heard the tragedy of Darth Nihilus the hungry...

My same thoughts. And each sentence is just epicness
That moment when you realize this was the first time the force was used onscreen
Felix Farside not from what I could see
+Felix Farside No, no, no. Vader choked captain Antilles with his mechanical hand.

When you realize how OP Tarkin is when he can order Darth Vader to back off.
Vader the coolest villain ever
I get the hand gesture, it was early and they needed to get across what was happening, but I wish they had Vader casually walk away while force choking that dude. Then, when Tarkin tells Vader to release him, Vader could turn around and do a hand release motion to indicate that he was the one doing it the whole time. Vader should be like "whatever, I don't have time for your BS, byeeee," and as his moving on the the next thing he casually smokes a dude as a Windows background service, not even using 1% of Vader's force CPU.
Every aspiring villain must learn how to roll their "R"s.

The idea that tarkin is wearing slippers is hilarious
For those who don't know Peter Cushing Wore night slippers because formal shoes hurt his feet. That's why he only has shots of his Upper Body
“Reports are coming in Of-...sir, pardon my impudence, but why are you wearing bunny slippers?”
“I like to feel comfy. Continue.”
I think he has one scene in boots just before Leia is ordered into the main hub for the destruction of Alderaan but that may be a double or something
Legendary actor.
I mean look they probably were standard issue imperial navy slippers.
Lol u really did text this but I hear u
"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways Lord Vader."
*Frightens him with sorcerer's ways*
"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you have constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the Power of The Force" One great line!
*Man is getting force chocked to death*
Tarkin: "This bickering is pointless"
Like a frustrated parent: "Both of you say sorry. ...... No, as if you mean it"
Tarkin: "Lord Vader let him go"
Darth Vader:"as you wish" *I'm about to force snap this bitch"
That's how a real gentleman addresses the situation

Derrick Parham 😂
Love how much Star Wars lore can be traced back to this single conversation. Tarkin is the first to utter “Old Republic”
Plus, it's possibly the first mention of the Emperor. If a guy like Darth Vader can do that much damage, what can the Emperor accomplish?
Even better. There's a extended version of this scene where Tagge (the smart one) refers Vader as a Sith Lord. In 1977.
And Vaders infamous choking technique.
@@tysargent9647 yes, it’s the first time the Emperor is mentioned, obviously audiences wouldn’t have a clue of how much more dangerous and evil he was until The Empire Strikes Back where he appeared in the hologram.
@@HawaiiKnut that is very significant, given that the word “Sith” was never mentioned in any dialogue in the original trilogy.
1:39 Vader chokes the guy before he can say “Hidden Fortress”, which is the name of the Japanese film that inspired George Lucas to make Star Wars
This is the most realistic scene in all of Star Wars. Vader loosing his cool and starts choking a fellow co-worker during a staff meeting. It is also one of my favourite.
The actor that plays the officer is what really sells the scene. The way he actually makes it looks like he's being choked and immediately drops like a puppet with its strings cut after vader speaks is absolutely perfect
he set the standard for what beng choked by an invisible hand looks like and i don't think people realize that
He's over acing.
@@IronheartvsMiles no
@@IronheartvsMiles thanks for telling us you know NOTHING about acting
Yes, he reminds me of the guy who played the Roman centurien in Ben Hur.
"Until this battle station is fully operational we are vulnerable," give the Admiral credit he wasn't wrong.
He was also right when he said, “if they got the plans they’ll find a weakness and exploit it.” And... they did
He was right....twice!
General

I love Vader’s body language. His annoyance while this idiot dares mouth him off, his smugness when choking him, and the way he immediately stands down on Tarkin’s order demonstrate his respect for him.
Yes this exactly
Even when he says
"I find your lack of faith disturbing"
You can basically hear Vader smugly smirking
I see that as a little bit of Anakin shining through always needing to show off
Although there really is not a care in the world in his tone of voice when he lets him go. “As you wish” sounds kinda like “All right all right, who gives a f**k about him anyway..” 😂😂
@@jesuslovesmebut8180 "I find your lack of promptness disturbing..."
That's David Prowse. Empire director Irvin Kirshner stated that no one could walk with the right swagger like Prowse. You really have to swing your shoulders with each step.
Also, Prowse believed his voice would be the voice of Vader so he really acted his ass off behind that mask. Lucas never told him his voice would be dubbed over and thought the reason he never called him back to loop his dialogue was that what was captured on set must have been good enough to use.
He found out about James Earl Jones at the premier.
plus tarken let it go on for a while to demonstrate his respect for vader
I like that Vader's breathing is faster when the officer makes him angry
Everyone rightly loves the lack of faith line from Vader, but the one just before is incredible. "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force". The way he directs it to the officer is just wonderful.
O.G empire: sits around a table like civilized gentleman and discuss their issues with grace and civility.
The.....First Order: *screaming at each other and tosses their generals around like rag dolls because they have conflicting opinions*
“Grace and civility” whilst Vader force chokes anyone that annoys him.
@@scottishjedi1522 in Vaders defense
Admiral Moti had it coming.
The thing about the Empire is that they're so utterly massive and full of people that if a general or anyone on the Moff Council died or was otherwise given the boot, they could be easily replaced. Also, they were generally kept in line out of fear of getting Vadered. The First Order, despite being the Imperial fragments that fled into unknown regions following the death of Palpatine (TL;DR: A contingency plan that he had created shortly before the battle of Endor because he sensed a powerful Dark Side presence in the Unknown Regions) can't do any such thing because their numbers aren't big enough for such policy. Also, while a good number of generals in the Empire are old and seasoned and now how to act level-headed through experience, the First Order generals are relatively young with little experience in leading an army, let alone discussing their opinions without getting shrieked at.
The First Order is more realistic. The US senate has devolved into a slugfest once in its history.
@@revolverocelot1380 So then how is that realistic? "Once in its history" compared to how many times it was civil? So the Realistic viewpoint would be civil, because that is what occurs a good 90% of the time.

"Dont be too proud of this technological terror youve constructed..."
Ive never realised just how badass that line is, especially when delivered by a relaxed and unimpressed Vader.
The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force
also as a deeper meaning/irony considering who is saying the line
It's like having a 40,000 ton battleship with 18 inch guns in the age of aircraft carriers. Impressive on paper and in person, but far too vulnerable to be useful. Building a second one after the fate of the first was the definition of insanity.
That technological Terror he was referring to is Facebook
Science versus faith
That way vader just turns and walks up to him with a force choke was like him saying "i am far too tired and in pain for this crap".
I love how while he’s insulting Vader, he just slowly starts walking around Tarkin like “Alright, imma come over there…”
Cushing/Tarkin really does steal this scene.
He enters the room first with Vader behind. He sits at the head of the table (well, as much as a circular table has a head) in the largest chair, and Vader behind him almost in the background. Vader probably wouldn't have spoken at all if that one officer didn't try to troll him.
And then to top it off, Tarkin orders Vader to release the officer, and Vader does.
Tarkin really does hold the Imperial officer ranks together in a way we never really see in future Star Wars films.
Cushing was a great actor - old school, but that scene was set in the script. If you can find it somewhere give it a read and you will see how the writer to set it up in the description of the 'scene' . The dialogue is secondary in this instant.
@@KennyTC63 One thing actors and directors "love" is writers telling them how to act a scene.
@@TrusteftIt's how the writer wrote the scene in the screenplay not about the writer telling anybody what they should be doing. It's up to the Director and Cinematographer to bring the narrative to life
Vader only spoke four times total in this scene. First one was to assure the admiral that had brought up a probable, and due to what happened the true scenario. The second was a warning to the officer gloating about the Deathstar giving him a chance to stand down. The third was literally him trolling the man while choking him. And then when Tarkin intervened, he let the man go “As you wish”. Tarkin was astonished and terrified by the power he was shown, and Vader knowing the death of an admiral here would be meaningless and wasteful.
Good description of the scene!
“Don’t try to frighten us with your sorcerer’s ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes. Or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels’ hidden fortress.”
People focus on the Force choke and Vader’s classic line, but they overlook the fact that this was actually a really sick burn. Not only does this dude call Vader a sorcerer, he plays on that by using the words “conjure” and “clairvoyance” when criticizing his efforts to recover the Death Star plans and locate the Rebels. This burn was so sick that Vader had to supplement his “comeback” with a show of force (no pun intended).
Not only mocking his religion, but mocking his very real power over the Galaxy.
I have to wonder if the ”hidden fortress” part is a nod from Lucas?
@@R_got_a_name_change actually it's a reference to an Akira Kurosawa film with the same name
The pun is always intended.
@@Torentino_Ian_no_channel_2006 Yes... hence a nod from Lucas.
It’s a reminder to everyone that there were officers who went through their careers only hearing about the Jedi and the force in passing, never seeing it or giving it much thought until they worked with Vader and witnessed his wrath.
I like how there's a sense of disgust when Vader refers to the Death Star as a "technological terror'. Even the most powerful Sith-Lord such as himself is mortified with the ability to destroy entire planets. Almost sounds like Anakin for a moment....
If force users are bound by the living spirits of things like Kenobi said I can see why he would hate the idea of wiping billions of them out…
I feel like Tarkin is just there to make sure Vader doesn't kill any of them lmao
Yeah, I wander what Tarkin had on Vader to keep him in his place. It seems to me that if Vader wanted to advance his career and get a promotion he would murder Tarkin the first chance he got.

That’s the point he was making.
@@dooterperson Less of a destroy and more of a consume. Nihilus more or less ate lifeforce/the force rather than destroying things. He could destroy nearly anything in his path if he wanted but, for the most part he just consumed any amount of force energy he could get his hands on, until he, yes, indeed started eating the force of entire planets.
There are 3 empty seats in this scene. You can see it closely, meaning Grand admiral Thrawn and Director Krennic would of say there.
But he used the force to destroy a planet, therefore vader is right
My favourite part in seeing this scene is the knowledge that Grand Moff Tarkin is wearing carpet slippers because the boots provided hurt Peter Cushings feet.
The thing I love most about Tarkin is that he can actually give Vader orders and VADER OBEYS!!!!
Is he in charge or is it a mutual respect?
aSecondCaesar I think both.
aSecondCaesar The Emperor gave Tarkin complete authority of the Death Star, so even Vader is technically on his turf.
aSecondCaesar I think it's mutual respect. Vader isn't really part of the military, he's the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet which I think would outrank or maybe be the same as a Grand Moff, but no other Grand Moff would dare give orders to Vader, besides Tarkin.
Visionary Which is backed up by Leia's comment about Tarkin holding Vader's leash.

@@janesgems7 TLJ is awful for a multitude of reasons. It does not compare whatsoever to the criticisms of Empire at all.

At this point they'd be better of retconning the entire sequel trilogy and sticking with the Disney+ shows. And I say this as a fan of The Force Awakens which set up many possible plot arcs that were ignored by TLJ in favour of some universe-ignorant standalone attempt at an indie film SW.
I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to be in the movie theater when they scene first happened. It’s really the first time I can think of where the force is actually shown off. At the very least this force ability.
It is in fact the first use of the Force on screen. It comes up even before the Obi-wan mind trick on the stormtroopers.
I like how jovial Vader is in this scene, stirring shit up and abusing his powers for no apparent reason. His "As you wish" shows how amused he is.
Vader despised the Moffs and the Death Star, but yes, he was in "jovial troll" mode here.
Peter Cushing was perfect for the role, love his cynical stare.
What do you expect from one of the greatest actors who ever lived?

+Mai Nem I agree, rather than being "the evil one" or some laughing megalomaniac, he was simply a realistic depiction of power combined with complete ruthlessness.
+Visionary You can see here what a true professional he was. Actors/actresses who worked with him always attested at how excellent, prepared, generous,and skilled he was. Christopher Lee once said of his old friend from the Hammer Studios days that Cushing knew his lines, he knew everybody else's lines, he could handle twenty different props in one scene and still keep his concentration. They don't make them like that anymore
He was irreplaceable. A legend of the stage and cinema, as well as an incredibly charming and warm person in real life.
I love the acting in the old Star Wars movies. It just seemed more sophisticated.
Probably because the vast majority of them were British stage actors.
chopperbubba because 4,5,and 6 are some of the best movies ever. Especially 5, hard to top that
Absolutely! This feels like a serious discussion involving people who take their job seriously. After watching this scene, I have no doubts that every single officer present in that room earned his way up there by being intelligent and competent at what he does. A smart enemy is a terrifying enemy. Which can't be said about the First Order, who all look like a bunch of retarded, whiny babies that play with toys their parents bought them for Christmas.
You don't see acting like this in big productions anymore. Its a shame really.
The original trilogy gave the audiences quiet scenes like this one, where there is exposition and reflection. The newer ones have constant action all the time, and they never let a scene just play out. Also the British actors, for some reason, add a sense of class.
Dude. The fact that the head commander can base Vader into stopping him just shows how much Vader needs that man.
You know Vader is essentially just a puppet right? A mascot for the empire. He isn't the one calling the shots.
That man is Moff Tarkin
Peter Cushing just lights this scene up with his presence. Perfect diction.
It’s an object lesson in the power of hard work. Olivier thought it terrible on initially casting him in the RSC, and told Cushing to sort it out, which it took him many years to do -his accent leaps all over the place in his initial movies; hence why Sir Laurence only gives Peter a line or two in the classic Shakespearean flicks he first made.
@@michaeljames4904 brilliant piece of info. Thanks Michael👍
@@alanknotts1844 no problem, he was a splendid fellow
@@TheSALT123 (strap in) From one corner of that little island to the other, there’s a whole kaleidoscope of very distinct “British” accents: West Country, Scouse, Brum, Yorkshire, Geordie, a ranges of Scots tones, Welsh and Ulster too, and more marked subtypes, also _-at the time Olivier was the founder-manager of the Royal Shakespeare Company, that is-_ distinctly indicative of social class.
Most actors, if they sought a future in the classical field, dropped their regional or class-indicative accents, through intensive elocution lessons, gravitating towards something that became known as “RP,” or _Received Pronunciation,_ instead: a slightly posh accent with which, when it was still a cultural icon, BBC radio presenters very much became associated. (People who went into professions or got top uni or school scholarships, often went through a similar journey, to make it impossible to accurately judge their precise origins the moment they opened their mouths, if their careers shot them up in the class hierarchy.)
It’s only from the late 1960s onwards that, it became the fashion for actors to retain their original accents, if it marked them as having humble Working Class beginnings, that is, in the interests of gritty realism -Sir Michael Caine was the first big standout success among this second type; while the mellifluous tones which Sir Roger Moore acquired (becoming famed slightly later), are a world away from those of the son of a rough-and-ready South London policeman. But even in contemporary times, when Sir Kenneth Branagh decided, at Cambridge, to stick with acting and go to RADA, he weened himself off his original exceptional thick and recognisable Belfast tones, as well...
Even back in Olivier’s time, I’d argue, most ordinary people had _two distinct accents_ too: their regional normal one, and a sort of effete rarified one they’d frequently put on, if they talked to authority or someone of a much higher social class than themselves. You can often hear this played for laughs, in television of the time, when a simple family will be having a conversation in one voice, only for the mother to put on quite another hoity-toity one, when called on to answer a ringing telephone.
Notwithstanding all this, Cushing’s big problem as an actor starting out, to Sir Laurence’s intense frustration at the RSC, was that his accent and diction _just REFUSED to sit still._ (It was and is quite normal for Shakespeare’s roles to be class-bound. A prince like Hamlet will usually sound like he might be an aristocrat, naturally, while the gravedigger role in that play, of course, is as a rule expected to have the more languid diction of an ordinary rough working man -even if nobody *ever* sounds Danish! Henry V and his confidantes will usually take more affected voices, while his foot-soldiers with lines, in that play, will sound like more “simple folk;” mirroring the officer/enlisted man distinction which still exists a little bit today.)
But Peter’s voice-control initially leapt about, and if you’ve a sensitive ear and watch his very early films, you can hear it _changing even mid-sentence,_ switching from having elements of one British region/class type, and variation, to the other. That was the issue he struggled with, and Cushing evidently did an immense amount of work, to end up with the clipped and intensely controlled voice, for which he would later end up rightly famous.
@@TheSALT123 Be who you are, man! You ever heard of somebody called Reginald D. Hunter? Guy from Georgia who despite brushes with the law, back home, became obsessed, as a kid, with a British TV show called _Rumpole of the Bailey,_ ended up moving to England and being a barrister’s clerk, and becoming friends with the aged author, John Mortimer, of the novels upon which that television show was based. He ended up as a pretty awesome stand-up over here.
Cushing had a similarly odd trajectory, after doing theatre in Britain and being cast by Olivier he went to Hollywood and was largely a total failure. A delicate soul, it was only the constant pestering of his beloved wife that filled him with the confidence to keep trying, and he found his way back to the screen via UK television, namely, by being cast as Winston Smith in the very first televisation of Orwell’s “1984.” Perhaps the odd changeability of his voice was why he was thought such an apt choice for a dystopian future England whose history had intentionally been confused? At any rate, it’s very hard to come by, given such programmes were not routinely recorded.
As for recommendations, I’d say my own favourite of his would be _Dr Terror’s House of Horrors (1965)._ Cushing felt, as an actor, that he excelled at any part with loads of props, which is why he loved doing Sherlock Holmes, and you’re lucky in that his _Hound of the Baskervilles (1959),_ can be found on RUclips as well. Peter thought his very best performance, though, was in a film called _Cash on Demand (1961),_ and luckily you can find it by searching on here too!

I also don't think that Disney/Star Wars is all that good either. But at the same time, I think that people overvalue the quality of the dialogue in the original 3 movies (as well as the prequels). That dialogue is full of uncomfortably painful lines. This isn't to say that the concepts that the dialogue was trying to express was bad, only the words used often made the dialogue disjointed or awkward. It's long been held that George Lucas wasn't particularly good at writing dialogue. He could create wonderful plots, just not good dialogue for the characters/actors.

@@Crafty_Spirit
I do admit this is my own interpretation (and head cannon) so take it for what it is worth. This is a scene of exposition and there is a lot we can infer by the visuals and the dialog about the nature of politics in the galaxy we are in. My answer, is that they were not on the DEATH STAR when it was destroyed.
First: we see a Star Destroyer approach and then it cuts to the conference room. My opinion, the Star Destroyer was ferrying the local Commanders and Admirals to the DEATH STAR for a meeting to give their assessment of the areas they patrol and of the recent Rebel raid. A clue to this is when the Admiral says to the Commander, “Dangerous to your Starfleet Commander; not to this battle station.” It implies that the Commander has been experiencing heavy resistance in his area of patrol, which is why he worried about the DEATH STAR’s vulnerability.
Second: With Tarkin as the Chief of the DEATH STAR and Vader as his X.O., there would not be any need for the numerous high-ranking officers to be present constantly. As Tarkin is privy to information that the Commander is not; hence the Commander's surprise when Tarkin reveals that the Imperial Senate has been abolished and his tone changes.
Tarkin’s face while this guy goes on a rant is priceless. He knows what’ll inevitable come next while they other one doubts the existence of the force. And then he hits there and watches him seemingly amused lol.
And he still told Vader "You get your point. Calm down."
I didn't notice when I watched it as a kid, but the guy who gets choked looks to be the youngest officer in the room. The other officers are old enough to perhaps have seen a demonstration of the force before and know not to antagonize Vader, or at least when to shut up and listen.
Tarkin looks like he is thinking, 'how long should I let Vader choke this guy, I hope he doesn't just break his windpipe...because I am in the middle of another great speech and do not want a dead force choked officer to overshadow my meeting.'
Tarkin being a close advisor to the Emperor knew of the force and at least in a basic manner what Vader could do. It is also likely he knew the Emperor was a sith or at least strongly would suspect it. He knew trash talking the force and force users would be an easy way to have it demonstrated on them by a sith lord.
