BEST STAR WARS MOVIE EVER!
I like the original. This one was a step in a great direction to be concluded in the disappointing JEDI
The original was an A. Empire upgraded to an A+. Everything in the sequel took the worlds building ground work of New Hope and elevated every little minute detail and thing from moment to moment storytelling beats to deeper grounded characters who were now fleshed out and given depth becoming arch-types with substance and soul. This movie is straight up pimp juice yo.
Now, finish the trilogy. Do it. Or do not. There is no try.
Wrong. ROTS🌋
Arguably the best movie ever. The quintessential Star Wars experience.
Agreed
Seeing this in a packed theater when nobody knew anything was incredible !
32:44 "just disarm him or something" accidental foreshadowing 🤣🤣🤣
Damn, nice catch! How'd I miss that during the edit?! 😖
@@johnc4330 🤣🤣🤣
@@johnc4330 just call it an accidental Easter egg 😀
The "I am your father" line has been ruined by being so ingrained into pop culture that everybody knows it today -- at the time, it was a MAJOR unexpected plot twist that shocked everyone. It also put a really interesting spin on the first movie, changing it from a simple story of good versus evil into something far more nuanced
The original twist that was in the script was that Obi-Wan killed Luke's father, but that was just to throw the actors off. I believe George Lucas and the film's director met with Mark Hamill in his trailer and told him they were changing the twist to Vader being Luke's father. But also threatened Mark with "We are the only three people who know, so if this leaks, we know it was you."
Then during the first premiere screening when the twist was revealed Harrison Ford turned to Mark and said, "Hey kid you never f**king told me that."
I’m pretty sure James Earl Jones also knew. 😉
Fair enough.@@markhamstra1083
Wish I could watch this for the first time. Very happy to do so vicariously 😃
Very jealous of Ylva. You'll never need the understand, but I had to read the paperbook in Sainsbury's book dept while me parents were doing the weekly big shop to satisfy my SW need age 9. Is that lame?
😆
Of note; in the asteroid field, one of the asteroids was an actual potato 🥔 🤣
If you listen to Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, he stated that actual asteroid's are thousands of miles apart.
Yoda was a puppet, created and puppeteered by the legendary Frank Oz who worked with Jim Henson on The Muppets. 😯
I’m so glad you liked it, great reaction!
You asked about Lukes Mum, we'll meet her in the prequels same as what happened to Vaders face. All explained in the prequels.
32:44 Yiva: Just disarm him
Me: Yeah, "disarm"-ing will happen, just not the way you think
People are too hard on Lando. Vader threatened to kill the whole city
I saw this opening weekend for my 11th birthday (and my dad actually called me in sick for Return of the Jedi) but all the twists were amazing...crowd freaking out!.. As for Yoda..no animatronics..it was Frank Oz and all of his amazing Puppetry...If you listen closely you can make out a combination of a few of the muppets in his voice.
Yoda, King of the Muppets!
Not a bad little collectible trio
Yoda is a puppet in the original trilogy
Yes, that was a vision Luke had in the cave.
E chu ta is basically a huttese curse word/insult that’s considered too inappropriate to translate
Hey, let’s not be too judgemental of Lando. If the co leader of the space nazis that blew up a planet as a _demonstration_ comes making demands, are _you_ gonna tell him no?
The Vader twist was kept secret from pretty much everyone. The only ones who knew were George Lucas, James Earl Jones, and the director. They told Mark Hamill right before they filmmed the scene.
For everyone else, the line they thought it was gonna be was “Obi-Wan killed your father.”
Absolutely you gotta do shows!
26:59 really enjoyed your reaction of shock/confusion to this moment.
34:19 took that hand right off
36:19 yes. All of them.
Great reaction. Looking forward to the next one.
Out of the Original Trilogy's "Special Editions," this one is the least controversial, as most of the changes were for continuity, such as changing Boba Fett's VA from Jason Wingreen to Temura Morrison (you'll see why in Episode II), and replacing that half-chimp, half-woman abomination in the 1980 cut with new footage of Sir Ian McDairmond as the Emperor. Other changes include an extended bit with the wampa and turning several walls in Cloud City into windows with some excellent CG renderings of the original matte paintings.
It also included some useless as additions like Vader returning to his ship. I l know in the original he just kind of teleported. With the line “Bring me my ship.” But it’s pretty easy to assume he got on a shuttle.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁😊
Had a great time seeing this in theaters when I was 6 years old back in 1980. "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.
Yoda, the real Yoda, was a Muppet. It was Jim Henson’s magic that brought him to life. 😊
It was FRANK OZ!
@@jesse33cdn Poop! I stand corrected. 😀
I like that Vader kills his underlings willy-nilly throughout the movie, but is too sad and preoccupied about messing things up with his boy to kill Piett at the end.
The introduction of Yoda is a love letter to old Samurai stories. The Stranger on the Road was a test of the student as he journeyed to begin training with the master. The master would use the fact the student didn't know his face, to test the student on the way, to see if he had the character necessary to be trusted with the power of the training they would some day have.
Just wanted to leave a reminder to a live chat comment: please check out Boba Fett's original voice actor's performance for this movie. His name was Jason Wingreen, and it should be easy to find a comparison clip on here.
35:05 Vader was once heroic Jedi named Skywalker.
31:20 "Couldn't he just send him flying with his hand? Or is this the etiquette for light sabers?"
There is no etiquette.
I've seen at least a hundred Star Wars lightsaber battles (11 movies, several TV shows, and nearly a billion animated episodes) and the only etiquette is to do whatever it takes to win.
Vader is testing Luke, like a 9th degree black belt might test a green-belt student.
Also, he's already told his emperor that he doesn't want to kill Luke.
There was a reason that Han Solo was frozen in Carbonite in this movie. A New Hope was a standalone matinee movie, called Star Wars. Its runaway success opened up the need to turn it into a trilogy. They were planning for TWO movies at once. They wanted all of the main breakout stars from A New Hope, locked in for both movies. Harrison Ford was the only one who wasn't locked in. So they wrote his character into potential alternate roles in Return Of The Jedi, depending on how much shooting time with Harrison they managed to get. He was exploding in fame, as both Han Solo, and Indiana Jones, in MAJOR Box Office franchises.
yoda was actaully a muppet created by jim hanson, and fank oz did the voice, frank oz also voiced grover. you can hear some similarties
Love your reactions! Han, Leia, and Chewie are my favorite characters. Can’t wait to see your reaction to the next movie!
Lando had no choice. Vader shows up. You have to do what he wants. He was just playin the hand he was dealt.
Luke's face was still messed up from the wampa attack at the beginning. In real life, he had a car crash and got mangled a little, so they used that in the movie.
Whenever R2 has two legs the actor Kenny Baker is usually inside him.
When he has three legs he's remote controlled.
One of the best star wars movies ever
26:01 He said "eat sh*t, chump" lol
I once helped a lady a few years ago with some yard work. She had boxes of unopened lego sets and asked if i would like one. I said I would but we never discussed which one i could have and i never brought it up. After i drove home, i looked and she had placed an unopened Super Star Destroyer set while i was finishing up. 8:46 i believe this is the largest Lego Star Wars set ever made.
No, that would be the Ultimate version of the Millennium Falcon with over 6000 pieces if I remember correctly. Took me about five days to build. Also do have the super star destroyer, which is impressive but not the biggest.
Edit: it's over 7K pieces.
It took R2-D2 like seven minutes to reassemble 95% of C-3PO when they leave Cloud City... lol
Legend tells that Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher (Han and Leia) felt... how should I say it.... Actually quite a chemistry towards each other, while shooting the movie.
So, I guess that gave the sifi opera of space wizards and peeew peeew laser blasts exactly the so needed amount of authenticity 😉
I just realized the most unbelievable scene in this entire series is Chewy - welding.
The question marks over your cat were cute! :)
I want to pet that precious kitty 🥺
You didn't think that was Yoda at first well when Luke first meets Yoda Yoda was being a funny guy like he was and testing testing testing Luke's patience patience
Infamous joke: what's the internal temperature of a Taun taun? Luke warm. 😂
mark hamill was in a car accident before this causing a scar on his face, so i believe the snow creature hitting him was to make it make sense
dig the reaction!
'Don't think it will like the taste of a droid.' You think? ++ for predicting the reaction.
Yoda in the original 3 movies was a puppet operated and voiced by Frank Oz and voiced by the CGI Yoda in 1-3. He is also known as the voices of Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, and Sam Eagle on The Muppet Show, and Cookie Monster, Bert and Grover on Sesame Street.
Pretty sure he also operated the 'werewolf' in 'An American Werewolf in London' as well as playing the US consulate.
Rick Baker did the transformation effects and werewolf makeup in the movie.
Pretty sure Frank Oz only played his character from the U.S. embassy. Of course there's also the footage of Miss Piggy in the dream sequence.
Rick Baker also worked on Star Wars by supplying some extra masks for the cantina pick up shots.
@@roryotoole3279 The actual werewolf MUPPET' we only see parts of AFTER the transformation, with the only shot showing most of it from the top of an escalator as it enters frame from the top for only a few seconds. -That werewolf - :) All other shots seem to be shoulders and above.
@@roryotoole3279 Frank Oz has a TON of cameos all over the place. He was friends with a bunch of directors and they'd just put him in bit parts.
Chewie did get a medal. But he was do tall the princess couldn't reach, so they gave it to him afterwards. But had him walk with luke and han . ( book )
Um
in this one he's a muppet which is a special kind of puppet created by jim henson productions
Well, now it's safe to watch Spaceballs w/o any Star Wars spoilers, which is a parody of mostly these 2 episodes of Star Wars.😉
Mark Hamill had a car accident between filming the 1st 2 movies which damaged his face (nose & cheekbone).
35:00 "Most iconic line in this entire franchise."
I offer a few alternatives that might be equally or even more iconic:
Do or do not. There is no try.
I love you. I know.
I have a bad feeling about this.
May the Force be with you.
There are a few more, but these are just the ones from the first two movies that you have seen.
“For my ally is The Force, and a powerful ally it is.”
@@brucechmiel7964 Good quote.
Kinda forgot about "luminous beings are we, not this crude matter" because I think he meant to say "luminous beings have we, inside our cells they live, for just crude matter are we".
Or something like that.
I agree with your outro.
With the big reveal in the second movie, they have nothing left to reveal in the third.
Bad planning.
Or is there?
How about "Luke, I am your mother."
Said by none other than... Chewbacca! (he or she is older than they look...)
RIP the person who did R2D2
Dude those lightsabers almost took your head off in the thumbnail!! 😮
Hi Ylva super and awesome star wars movie reaction u rock Ylva!!!
Yoda's not a costume but basically a very expensive animatronic Muppet designed and created by ILM with Jim Henson's Muppet team consulting on the project and voiced by Frank Oz. Later, in the prequels, they CGI'd him. From the very beginning, I could never not hear Grover when he talks.
OH, and now that you've seen this you need to listen to the Weird Al song "Yoda"
Yoda is a puppet.
Dagobah was a soundstage with a raised floor and he was performed by Frank Oz who also was the performer for Miss Light and Dizzy bear in the muppets
Poor confused kitteh :/
31:48 "Pretty easy to find Vader since he breathes so loudly."
2 minutes later...
34:08 Vader sneaks up on luke and silently attacks him with total surprise.
Oh! I'll be back - going to watch your EP IV first.
John Williams wrote so many themes for Star Wars - a lot like the Harry Potter movies he scored. I make mention because even Dak gets his own 'theme'. We hear it briefly when Luke is talking to him as they prepare for takeoff. It has a 'Rebellion' feel but there's something else going on we never hear again. Williams does the same thing when we first meet Professor McGonagall - there is a theme we never hear again as she waits at the top of the steps for the first-years.
Jeez it is hell to do HR for a division under Vader
That imperial general is the villain in grand measter pycel from game of thrones, and he was in the third indiana Jones movie. Villain again
Hey, Ylva! This is most people's favorite installment and widely considered to be the best Star Wars film. It certainly is mine. Young people who came of age with the Prequel trilogy often cite Episode III as their favorite. "Empire" has four strikingly distinct environments, an amazing opening battle, the Yoda reveal, the romantic sparring, a deeper explanation of the Force, Lando's treachery and redemption, the presence of fan favorite Boba Fett, the loss of Han, the Vader revelation and the cliffhanger ending. It is a wild escapist ride that packs an emotional wallop!
Mark Hamill had a terrible car accident prior to filming and underwent facial reconstructive surgery. Already a part of the screenplay, the WAMPA attack on Hoth became an in-story way to explain his new look and the make-up department enhanced his barely-visible scars.
Han eviscerating the TAUN TAUN is an authentic form of arctic and/or cold weather survival. He stuffed Luke's hypothermic body in the still-warm carcass of the animal wrapping him in its innards in order to keep him from freezing to death. People have done this to survive. I love it when people freak out watching that scene!
BACTA is the liquid in the healing cylinder. It is a bacterial compound with regenerative properties that is the standard medical treatment for all injuries in the Star Wars galaxy.
Yoda's odd little voice is provided by his puppeteer Frank Oz who voices many Jim Henson Muppets like Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Animal as well as Sesame Street characters like Cookie Monster, Bert and Grover! Yoda pretended to be a grubby, eccentric hermit simply to get an honest reaction out of Luke that would reveal his character. It's a test like those of the gods in Greek mythology who appear as deformed peasants to see how the hero will behave toward the lowliest person.
The new player Vader was kneeling before is the Emperor! The same actor plays him in all his appearances across the saga.
The MYNOCKS are bat-sized creatures that feed off electrical energy and are starship pests. Sometimes they live symbiotically in the gullets of space leviathans like the EXOGORTH that swallowed the 'Falcon'!
I find it amusing how social norms have changed. I've watched a number of millennials view Star Wars for the first time now on RUclips and quite a few young women are APPALLED by Han Solo's behavior! When these movies came out, Harrison Ford became an instant mega-star and sex symbol because of his devil-may-care swagger and brash forwardness. He subscribed to the "treat a Queen like a whore and a whore like a Queen" school of seduction and WOMEN LOVED HIM FOR IT!!! You can tell he's a softie underneath which is what makes him endearing but it seems young women today find him INSUFFERABLE!!! All boys thought he was the coolest guy ever. It's funny how times change. I'm relieved his charms weren't lost on you! Lol.
Leia was a feminist icon back in the day! An independent woman of means comfortable wielding power, unafraid to get her hands dirty and dedicated to a serious cause! A whole generation of young boys and girls grew up with her as a role model.
Talented screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan was responsible for all the fun romantic banter in this film. As Leia is Alderaanian royalty and Han Solo is a Corellian street kid, it's basically a CLASS ISSUE preventing her from accepting her feelings for Solo. The constant arguing is their foreplay as he wears her down with his roguish charm. Lol.
Harrison Ford's famous "I know." reply to Leia's declaration of love was ad-libbed by Ford who wasn't feeling the more generic "I love you, too." line from the script. Director Irvin Kershner and George Lucas kept it in the movie. It's perfect for the character. I've seen some young female reactors take DEEP OFFENSE! Keep in mind that Solo has been upfront with Leia about his feelings for her for THREE YEARS at this point! She's the one who has been coy with him despite her obvious attraction. Her admission is what HE'S been patiently waiting for and he matter-of-factly tells her he's fully aware of how she feels. It's the answer SHE DESERVES! Lol.
The movies were remastered in the late '90s to promote the upcoming Prequel trilogy with some CGI overlays of the original practical effects but this installment has the fewest egregious changes and looks much like it did in 1980. The Wampa feeding, some aerial shots of Cloud City, a clearer view of the Emperor and some windows cut into corridors Leia, Lando and Chewie are running through at the end which look out onto the Bespin cityscape are the only updates I can think of.
People were SO INVESTED in this franchise back in 1980 that scrutiny during production was INTENSE!! They had the actor in the Vader suit, David Prowse, speak different lines to Luke to conceal the reveal even though Hamill was told what to react to. Dummy scripts were used on set to throw off snoops and spies. James Earl Jones was told the truth just prior to recording the scene. When Jones uttered those immortal words on screen, "No, I am your father.", audiences collectively GASPED, SCREAMED, CRIED, FAINTED and SHOUTED their dismay! It remains one of cinema's MOST ICONIC MOMENTS.
Awesome reaction!
This is my favorite of the Star Wars movies.
I saw this six times in the theater (the most I would see of the Star Wars movies in the theater).
"No Luke, I am your father" never gets old, no matter how many times you hear it, it's the best "holy 💩" moment of all time!
I'm really enjoying your reactions so far and super stoked that I discovered your channel.
Many blessings to you and yours.
Thank you! I'm envious that you got to see it at the cinema!
RUclips recommended this reaction video.
"DUCK GIRL!!!!!!" Whew, they almost got you!
1. Han to Chewy, "Laugh it ups fuzzball"🤣
2. The scene in the cave is Luke seeing into his future if he were to turn to the dark side.
3. Do them in the original release. They were put that way for a reason. Jumping ahead ruins it for you and us.
4. IRL Ford and Fisher were having an affair. She was only 19 and he was much older and married. She put it in her biography before she died. She got an ok from him to put it in there.
5. Hans', "I know" was ad lib and required a new script to be written in the next movie.
6. You will learn more about the emperor and Darth Vader in episodes I, II and III.
7. The next one wraps everything up and IMVHO is the best of the original VI Lucas
Ylva, 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..
He is teasing him. That is Yoda
I've always wondered what that giant worm on the asteroid eats. Surely it would need a lot of food, and there doesn't seem to be much around.
iam very glad you will do episode 6 soon and defintely watch 1,2 and 3 after in that order. you will be glad you did
Luke's actor's face was scared in an accident. TV shows and cartoons and side films do add to lore
What did the Empire do? It struck back.
Hi Ylva , Love your reaction to Star Wars so much I hope you see more soon and happy holidays Also is your birthday this month if I remember Happy Birthday🥳🎄
Perfect song choice on another one bites the dust.
These reactors are certainly consistent and basic with the Lando hate. 🙄. The man is running a city whose economy is manufacturing import and export with thousands of inhabitants. Vader and the Empire show up and these reactors are mad that he didn't fight them with his dozen or so security guards. 🙄🙄. I mean, geezzuss...
The most under appreciated character in all of Star Wars is Lando.
I've always been a fan of the guy in the trenches near the beginning. A decent distance away they see a speeder topple and destroy an At-AT, so he yells at everyone to C'mon - let's go . . . . Where? Out of the safety of the trenches? To do what? Sorry - it always makes me smile.
@@terrylandess6072 I know right.. 😅
Bloody,right, he was the original owner of the Falcon.
Great fun❤ enjoy your comments and thoughts😊
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) is an amazing white movie.
Love you bestie love these
Even if five days in advance - Happy Birthday … also a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
That was a great reaction! Thank you! … anyway, do not let us wait so long for the next one - “Return Of The Jedi” (that will certainly boost up the subscriptions … here you have mine) where you’ll have my most favorite line of all the movies I ever watched in my entire life … I’ll reveal it after you react to that one too. You’ve just taken your first step into a larger world - WELCOME! You decided to react to a great saga, so great that it earned itself its own worldwide celebration day, which is May 4th, that is May the fourth - like in “may the Force (be with you)”.
“I want to see his face …” - you will … in the next one. … oh … and something else: the line from the original, normal and happy timeline, is “LUKE, I am your father” … maybe you’re already familiar with the Mandela effect …
Looking forward to your next reaction.
Salutations from Romania …
Happy early birthday!
Holy macaroni! You had never seen this one before??? I LOVE the original Star Wars trilogy!
I never got a notification on this one.
Thanks. Merry Christmas
Yoda is a puppet. He was voiced by Frank Oz
Wait till you see Star Wars episode III Revenge of the Sith 😨😳 it’s shockingly good, best of the entire series.
Lando had to take Vader's deal. He's the leader of Bespin, and responsible for the lives of all of its men women, and children - many or all of whom would be killed by the empire if he refused to let them take one guy and his friends.
You can buy Han Frozen in Carbonite Ice Cube Trays 🤟😎
YES WATCH ALL THE STARWARS STUFF!
What would have happened if Lando hadn't made any deal with Vader before Han arrived?
I was 13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre and I was 16 Years old in 1980 when I saw The Empire Strikes Back in the Movie Theatre. Everyone in the Movie Theatre was shocked and gasped when Darth Vader told Luke who he was.
The Scene where Princess Leia told Han that she Loved Him and then Han saying I know was an adlib by Harrison Ford. in filming they had did many takes with Harrison Ford saying he loved her back but it wasn't working. One take Harrison Ford goes I know. He explains to George Lucas that I know would be something Han would say. George Lucas agreed.
After Return of the Jedi do a reaction to a video that's on RUclips "From Star Wars to Jedi the making of A Saga"
They filmed in Norway. Ice world *
Now watch all the movies, live action shows ... and animation ... clone wars and rebels are amazing
Read "Heir to the Empire" trilogy by Timothy Zahn, or better yet, listen to them on audible. A continuation after Return of the Jedi. Same characters, some new ones. I wish Disney would have gone this route instead of what they did in the sequels. I listen to them at least twice a year.
The secret to the cast's insane chemistry? Seven-hundred-thousand tonnes of cocaine! I'm not even kidding
"No Deals, Just Death" was not as successful a TV show as "Deal Or No Deal" :(
About time.
Can’t wait to see you react to return of the Jedi next year after, Christmas and New Year’s weekend this month.
Hoping you get to RotJ soon!
Editing started, it should be out before the end of the month!

Great reaction. I really think you should watch the Star Wars series: Andor. After the Bourne series and watching this it will fit right in.
