I just finished watching all three of your Star Wars reaction videos. As a 50 year old adult, I just re-lived my own childhood wonder of Star Wars through this young woman's eyes. Thank you both and keep on doing what you are doing.
I was in the Theater in 1977 as a Kid when the original Star wars came out. It was not even called A New Hope or Episode 4 at the time. I have loved and lived with these movies for over 40 Years. With Disney Acquisition aside, I can say this, it truly beams my heart in a great way to see your Wife enjoy these films in the way they were meant to be. With Joy, wonder and Awe. God Bless.
I was only old enough for Jedi in cinemas. My dad took me when I was probably 7 or 8. Its one of the few good memories I have of my childhood (also when he took me to see The Dark Crystal and then to an exhibition of all the movies''s puppets in Melbourne afterwards).
@zybch it's interesting that you say that because I was around 7 or 8:00 when Return of the Jedi came out as well. And I have vivid and distinct memories of seeing episode 4 and episode 5 in the theater. One of my oldest memories at 2 years old was sitting in the theater watching the original Star Wars with my dad asking him repeatedly throughout the movie if Luke and Vader were going to sword fight
The scene that always gets me is Luke burning Anakin's body. That was a sad and beautiful moment at the same time. But then there was the uplifting scene of the celebration, happiness and love that followed.
As someone who has been crazy for Star Wars since the 80's, it is so fun watching the reaction of someone who not only doesn't know the twists and reveals, but is genuinely loving the material. Depending on how far you get (I say watch them all), remember there is the legends books, that even though they aren't canon anymore, they, in my opinion tell a much better continuation of the story. Enjoy the prequels...looking forward to the react video!
I don't know who said that they are not canon. They are the only true continuation of the story...and it's true. And not the nonsense that the fools from the current studios piled up. They just want to ruin this galaxy
Spot on; well said! She _is_ a definite bright spot. Liam’s joy in reliving the journey is obvious as well. Him reliving it with Steph is fun to see, and him attempting to not spoil anything is hilarious.
@ I’m sure it is! Don’t know how you do it, honestly, Liam. It’s clear that you want to introduce Steph to these beloved experiences, usher & tutor her through, all without spoilers. Difficult task, but well done. Thanks for sharing with us all; love your videos.
That last shadow of Vader's theme as he dies hits hard. This movie has two of the most heinous changes in it - replacing Anakin's ghost's head with Hayden Christiansen's, and having Vader scream NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! as he grabs the emperor - it was so much better without that cheesiness.
Excellent reaction! Your wife doesn't say a lot verbally during the movie since she's paying attention and processing what's happening, but her face is so expressive and a lot of fun to watch. Also, she has a natural reaction and isn't using the too-overly-expressive "reaction face". It's refreshing to see someone genuinely reacting to these films and not performing for the camera. I can't wait to watch other videos from you two!
When Luke attacks the Emperor with the saber, Vader blocks him not to protect the Emperor, but to protect Luke. Because at this point he didn´t want the same dark fate for his son.
Actually, you could have even watched Rogue One before watching the original trilogy as it doesn't give anything away, and it introduces you to Vader, Tarken, the Rebellion, and the Death Star, without spoiling anything coming up.
5:30 Fun fact: This scene with the dancer in the Rancor Pit was shot 13 years later and added to the 1997 Special Edition release. They hired the same actress who still looked in great shape after 13 years!
DUDE!! You’re doing a great job of helping Steph get through this story! Steph…. Your reaction of the spoilers in this movie are incredible! Great job and keep up the awesome reactions!!
What an ending to the Star Wars trilogy, I’m sure that no film making company would ever attempt to make a sequel to this and tarnish the legacy of this franchise right?
@@dansharp2860 exactly! And I’m sure if they did they wouldn’t allow 2 different directors with completely visions to split the next trilogy between them and create a complete incoherent mess 😅
I just love how he acts as though nothing made by Disney exists. That's the sign of a true fan. If you haven't seen it, I recommend watching "Fanboys". It's the ultimate fan tribute film
Rogue One was good especially how it linked directly to ep. IV, but thats the ONLY disney SW movie thats even worth watching, even out of morbid curiosity. Andor was good and the first 2 seasons of the mandalorian, but IMO neither is really part of the 'true' star wars universe, rather thet are not-terrible adjacent content.
I wish you would have been able to watch the original version and not the remastered. The scene where Vader saves Luke has way more tension since he says nothing before grabbing the Emperor and tossing him over the rail. Regardless of that, I can't explain how satisfying it is watching someone's honest reactions to these films. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
I like Vader's first "no", but despise the second "NOOOOOO!!!". The first is powerful, and the first time in the films that Vader actually stands up to and denies the Emperor's wishes. It was simple and confidently spoken. The second was like the whining of child Anakin and broke the immersion.
I just left a comment wishing they reacted to the true OT as well. I watch a ton of reactions to the OT and confusion is the overwhelming reaction when Hayden appears. It was also so wrong to replace Sebastian Shaw on so many levels both in story and real life. Wrong storywise because Anakin returned and died as himself as an older man. Not as a younger Anakin. So the elder Anakin is who should have appeared as a force ghost. Not to mention that Luke likely wouldn't have even recognized him if he did appear as his younger self. And it was wrong for George to have replaced the actor morally because it was Sebastian Shaw's last appearance on film before he passed away. What incredible disrespect. Also agreed with the " No " dialogue by Vader before he tosses the emperor over the rails. It was so much more powerful the way it was originally without dialogue because when he was looking back and forth between his son and the emperor we had no idea who he was going to side with so the scene only increased in intensity the longer it went on. But with this version once he says " No " the first time you instantly know what his choice is so there's far less suspense and emotional build. It's strange that George didn't understand this but a lot of fans did. I mostly get blowback from younger know-nothings who grew up with the revisionist versions whenever I post about the unaltered OT. It's tiresome having to explain why the real OT is so important for the aforementioned reasons and more. But it's also vital to keep the true OT alive. Thanks for being a real OT supporter too.
Darth Vader needed the suit to live (you will understand it more with the prequels), and without the suit only his rage and anger could keep him alive. When he came back to the light, with the suit circuits broken by dark force lightnings, there wasn´t chance to survive.
Prequels good, sequels bad, but NOTHING can touch the original trilogy. Thanks so much for watching. I am EAGERLY awaiting your reaction to the prequels. Your reaction to these three have been the best reaction I've ever seen, and I've watched dozens.
1. Best guess is that Han was Jabba's "trophy" for about a year and a half before the rescue. 2. Vader discovered Leia as Luke's sister because he could feel it through Luke. Luke didn't know that until just before then. 3. Luke's light saber is green because he lost his old one along with his hand so they decided to make it green because it worked better in the desert background landscape. 4. Everybody is freaking out because Luke and Leia kissed mostly because she was trying to piss off Han. They didn't know they are related. 5. The "I love you. I know" was written into the script to get Leia the shot to say it to Han. 6. This was Warrick Davis's/Lead Ewok first acting gig. He was only 13. "Willow" is his lead with Val Kilmer and worth a first time/share. 7. Awesome camera work with the race through the forest. Nobody in their right mind would go that fast. 8. Carrie Fisher said in her biography that the most satisfying part in her Star Wars experience was choking out Jabba. 9. Jedi is plural. With Luke and Leia leading the way they can reestablish the Jedi back into the galaxy. 10. Ford wanted Han to die in the last episode. 11. IMVHO this is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After the first six he sold it to Disney, and everything changed. Sadly 12. RIP James Earl Jones😇
Some good thoughts and points. Though point "2": Vadar read Luke's thoughts due to his worry for Leia, that is why he said, "Your thoughts betray you." and the feelings come in when he said, "Your feelings have now betrayed her too." Meaning his feelings made him think of Leia which let Vadar read it, betraying her. Point "10": Ford wanted Han to die before that, mostly due to not wanting to play the character any more. It was the main reason for the Carbonite Freezing as it gave them the option either way if they couldn't work things out with Ford. It was also why Ford was checked out for "RotJ". Absolutely RIP James Earl Jones... and Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, Kenny Baker, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing,...
What an awesome journey with you two. Loved both of your reactions. One thing I will say is that regardless of what you may think of the sequel trilogy, there are incredible highs sprinkled throughout those films. I say that as someone who doesn't really care for them. I think despite the final film really going off the deep end, they're worth watching, for those great moments. Thanks for these reaction videos.
Don’t worry about the spoilers with your wife. She is enjoying these movies regardless, and she is adorable with her reactions to these movies. It’s a way for all of us to relive those moments.
Jedi's only use their skills for knowledge and defense. the start of the final fight with Vader, Luke tries to avoid engaging with him as he's only defending himself and trying diplomacy. When Vader threatens his sister, now he's defending his family and the breaks come off and goes on the offensive. one of my favorite little snippets
I think the number of people like Steph, who never saw these, is a rapidly shrinking group. So watching her discover these stories afresh is particularly precious. It brings tears to my eyes to see her fall for these characters!
As a kid watching this for the first time (and many times after), I never realized until I was older that the title "Return of the Jedi" was not about Luke, but about Vader who redeemed himself by saving his son, completing his return to the good side.
You're a lucky guy to be able to enjoy Star Wars with your lady. One of the best things about Star Wars is passing it on to others. Great series! I hope you watch them all.
Saw this in the theaters last year for the first time for the movies 40th anniversary. What a treat was to see it on the big screen. Crazy to think that “he’s my brother“ was the last line in a Star Wars movie for 16 years until the Phantom Menace.
I remember vividly walking home from the movie theater with a friend after seeing this, talking about all the cool things we just watched and how badly I wanted a speeder bike. I had never seen such a full theater... we couldn't even sit together because it was literally at capacity. Empire is still my favorite but Jedi was easily my favorite movie-going experience of all of the SW films.
The way your wife is reacting to the scenes of importance, is so much fun to watch. I enjoyed so much to see her and her reactions! I would love to have a wife, who would get affected this much like your wife does! Great job, guys! By the way: You are such a nice couple! The way, you interact with each other tells me, that you have a very healthy relationship. It seems, that you are happy together! 😃
The sequel trilogy is so much better than the prequel trilogy though. It's crazy how Star Wars fans have (in general) completely turned around on the prequel trilogy for some reason. They were trash then, and they're trash now. The sequel trilogy at least felt like good movies, even if you didn't like the character developments.
@@viefcheesecake, and Solo and great series like Mandolorian, Kenobi, Ashoka, Book of Boba Fett, Andor….Love these and I’m so old old school I watched the original trilogy in theaters back in the late 70s early 80s….
Her facial expressions of suspense, wonder, and joy are priceless. What an angel she is. Can't wait for her to see Anakin Skywalker's backstory in The Prequels.
Steph's facial reactions are just gold! When her face lit up seeing Leia under the bounty hunter mask or when seeing the Ewoks for the first time. The confusion when it was revealed that Luke and Leia are brother and sister and the horror in her face when seeing the Emperor unleash electric bolts out of his finger tips etc. Absolute gold! 🤣
for me its when yoda died ... she looked like luke did in the film ...so nice to see the amzment and sadness in her eyes ... reminds me when my son first watched star wars the PM its his fav movie as its the first star wars he watched as my partner at the time put it on ... personally i was abit grumpy she did it in the wrong order ..lol but even she loved that movie i guessed its why she put it on ...
I am 55yo, and I grew up on Star Wars. I love your reactions, and I would like to educate you both on a particular character in this film. I am speaking of the Ewok who befriends Leah. That Ewok is portrayed by an 11yo Warwick Davis. You would know him as Leprechaun, Willow, and Professor Flitwick. I look forward to your reactions to the prequels.
you either got better at staying quiet or better at editing it out LOL. I know a lot of us were pretty harsh on you. But this reaction was much better than the first 2.
Liam please don't feel like you have to apologize for stating your opinion that the sequels suck. They do. And it is so so sad that they wasted the opportunity to continue Han, Luke and Leia's story in a positive way.
@@ULYSSES-31 The first 2 have issues but there are things to like. 2 is particularly painful thanks to the dialogue even if that fits Anakin's character. 3 is much better and ranks just below the OT. Padme having nothing to do lowers it. Editing out the Rebellion stuff was the right move but it made Padme look really weak and just there to deliver Luke and Leia and then die.
@@dansharp2860 Lucas caught lightning in a bottle when Empire was even more artistic and fantastic than A New Hope. I enjoy Return of the Jedi but not like Empire And New Hope. Getting two incredible films was more than we could ask for, and finishing off the original trilogy with a good film like Return of the Jedi was awesome. But diminishing returns is a real thing. I too agree that Revenge of the Sith was the best of the Prequels, but 1 and 2 were so mediocre that it had a low bar. All Star Wars films have good scenes to a different degree (even the Sequels, though there aren't many!), and Revenge of the Sith has some of the most iconic, memorable scenes (You were my brother Anakin), but it also has some of the worst (No...I'm SO in love with YOU).
So many people don't understand why Vader is dying after that. It's not hard. He's mostly a machine now and his systems just got electrocuted. I still cry about the computer I lost from lightning :P
Loved your reaction, Steph. In a way, you're very lucky for watching this fantastic trilogy for the first time ! Old timers, like me, like to watch them again and again, but the first time has a special magic in it, that can be lived only once I don't know if you guys are into movie soundtracks, and you didn't comment anything about it throughout your viewings, but this trilogy stands high among the best works of the Grand Master John Williams. Great part of the beauty of the movies is due to the wonderful scores that underline and set the tone for every moment. I have the soundtracks in every edition that was released, and from time to time I made a 6 hours session listening to everything, from back to back So, shall we meet again in The Phantom Menace ? May the force be with you !
Liam, you do a FAR better job rewatching with someone who hasn't seen the films than I EVER would. I would be the nerdie guy that says, "Oooh, this is the great part where..." and "Ooh, watch this!..."
Can’t wait to see your reaction to the Prequels. There’s this RUclipsr who has this channel called CinemaSins where he lists errors or things wrong that happens in movies. An example of this being where a character watches something that is about to land on them (like a boulder coming down a hill), and then the object lands on them. Instead of the character simply getting out of the way before being hit. So in the CinemaSins for Return of the Jedi. The guy who runs the channel says that the look of surprise that Han gives Leia after Leia reveals that Luke is her Brother was Han thinking about how She kissed her brother in The Empire Strikes Back. I think that is funny and probably what Han was actually thinking.
I recall seeing the original in the theatre in 1983. The two silly and melodramatic "No"s were added in the Special Edition, so we had no warning what Vader was about to do. The entire place erupted in huge and sustained cheers when he grabbed the emperor and tossed him away. Everyone in the whole theatre was experiencing the same feelz, and left with a big grin on their face.
The biggest mistake that any movie reactor - or anyone - can make is give in to peer pressure. Liam and Steph, if you want to watch all the Star Wars movies, then DO IT! 👍👍 It's YOUR channel. The opinions of certain negative people here are irrelevant. They're just movies. Enjoy!
ABSOLUTELY, besides if you watch the last few minutes of reactors that reacted to The Force Awakens, the vast majority of them said they likes it!! Personally I don’t like the last Jedi but I would never pressure anyone to skip it.!!
Oh this was only 9 days ago. Awsome. Watching your wife tear up. It really is like watching it again with a new friend. Thank you guys so much. Don't listen to the critics the prequels are just as amazing. The thing is people waited years for them and they just had high expectations. it's hard to make something were everyone already knows the ending.
Just my opinion, but a young Anikin spirit force was wrong. It confuses everyone who watches this movie. Ppl (and Lucas) can make all the excuses they want, but they're just excuses.
Yup. All the SE additions were mistakes. I wouldn't care so much if George had remastered and released the Theatrical Version also. Ego is a terrible thing sometimes.
They COULD have done some kind of transitional effect, where old Anakin is shown first, then fades to young Anakin, symbolizing him going back to the Light. Or something.... It is pretty jarring to see Hayden suddenly appear in this film.
@@vicolin6126 Nah, he was already in the light and became a Jedi once again, before he died, at the moment he brought balance to the Force by killing the Emperor and leaving the Dark Side. That is why he said, "You already have Luke!" when Luke said he had to save him. So, transitioning would not make any sense. It was done purely to validate the PT, just as the stupid "N-o-o-o-o-o-o!" they added to Vadar saving Luke only because Vadar said it in "RotS".
When I was a young kid and watching the original trilogy in the movies, I always felt they were Luke's story. But after the prequels, only then did I realize that both the prequels and original movies were actually all Anakin's story and his transformation from good, to bad, and back again. All six movies really put you on a big journey. Grest sci-fi, and a great story!!!
Liam and Steph, I urge you to ignore all the negativity regarding the Prequel and Sequel trilogies. Make up your own minds about them. Every one of them are entertaining. The Prequel trilogy (Episodes I, II, III) and the sequel trilogy (Episodes VII, VIII, IX) were VERY successful at the box office. All that matters is what YOU think of them. I hope you watch and enjoy all of them. It's STAR WARS! It's all just entertainment.
@@monkeyzorr3090 Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean he's lying. He was correct in saying it matters what the person themselves thinks of them, not some rando on the internet such as yourself.
I love these videos and your lovely wife! It's so nice to see someone new watching the original trilogy for the first time!! I am excited to see her watch the prequels. I hope she likes them They were not me favorite when they came out but they have grown on me over the years. Thanks for the video!
Just a little and friendly critic to my part : it's a pity that you don't discover the originals movies to your wife. I mean the originals editing. And it is easy to find them on internet, some fans built a "despecialized" editions of the tree movies in good quality. Maybe you grow up with the specials editions (I don't know how hold you are) but if you don't have to see the originals editions (without CGI effects ans some other things) i advice to you (to you two) to see them. In return of the jedi there are two things which are, for my part, very ugly and dirty : the "No!" of Vader to make an echo with episode 3 make me angry : in the original the emotion is in the silence of Vader and you know he hesitate without see his eyes. That was great, don't need to make reference to an other chapter which didn't exist at this time. And the second is the replacement of Sebastian Shaw by Hayden Christensen of course.
Especially this one. I feel like ROTJ had the worst changes with Jabbas Palace's song, the little shop of horrors sarlac, taking out yub nub, and worst of all, the "Nooooo" from Vader. This is just a horrible version!
That first scene where they tell Vader the Death Star isn’t ready wouldn’t fly with social media nowadays. “Vader would tell, they made him look stupid” “the emperor was lying” “somehow the Death Star was operational” … so glad the internet wasn’t around back in the day
To second another’s comment, all the Star Wars movies are entertaining and worth watching. Please watch for yourself and make your own judgement. Great reaction!👍🏾
As to the Leia reveal, originally the plan wasn't for Leia to be the sister. Luke's sister was supposed to be hidden on the opposite side of the galaxy and her name was to be Nellith. That's why when they wrote all their kissing scenes in the previous 2 films no one batted an eyelash, Leia back when they wrote that wasn't the sister and a true blood princess. After this film they obviously retconned her into being an adopted Princess. Basically George Lucas was secretly getting divorced from his wife Marcia during the filming of Return of the Jedi (it got revealed months after the films release and was the most expensive Hollywood split for decades), who was an editor herself on the films (she won an academy award for her edits on A New Hope, and really improved the original drafts with her ghost writing and edits). Plus Lucas was being sued by Hollywood for not putting credits in the beginning of the film. So Lucas basically called it quits and merged a lot of plans for the next 3 films into Return of the Jedi. Like the lost Sister, but now she was Leia; and the Emperor being in the film, who was supposed to be the villain of the next 3 films. Where Luke was training his sister and her son, and implications of Luke meeting a woman (per Lucas teasing in an interview once) and having a daughter with her (per producers for these first 3 films). Now instead we get Leia hooking up with Han to imply they might have kids and Luke would train them... and the Jedi Order returning.
So, I just came across your Empire Strikes Back reaction video and enjoyed it so much, I had to watch your Star Wars & Return of the Jedi videos as well. Reaction videos are great overall, especially with Star Wars films for me, but yours take it a step further. To see how much Steph gets completely sucked in and fully invested in the story is the best part! It reminds the viewer how we felt when we saw these movies for the first time ourselves and for me brings a bit more emotion to the entire story. Great work with this and I'm really looking forward to your prequel trilogy videos! Really enjoyed it, thank you!
I was in the theater in 1983 for this. When Vader picked up the Emperor and threw him down the shaft (and back then he didn't say "No!" they added that for the Special Edition and it's not needed), the theater was full of cheers - "Yeah!" "Wooo!" Also, the easiest way to explain the three trilogies is to say: There are three trilogies, A (Prequels), B (Original) and C (Sequels). But they made the trilogies out of order - B first, then A, then C.
47:38 Moi je suis de votre côté Liam ! C'est super dur de répondre, sachant qu'il y a trois "prequels" et trois suites à tout ça, il est presque impossible de ne pas faire de bourdes à ce stade du visionnage. Bravo pour cette performance énorme, il faut le dire quand même. D'ailleurs je crois que c'est la première fois que je vois des réactions à Star Wars avec deux personnes, une qui a tout vu, et l'autre qui n'a rien vu. Donc chapeau l'artiste, vous avez assuré grave comme on dit chez nous !
I was just at the rigth age where ROTJ was the first movie I decided to go see with friends. I attest lo all these years later: Based on my personal reaction, audience reaction, and the current generations reactions, Luke Skywalker doing the back flip off the sail barge is still the single most exciting moment in cinema history, ahead of Thor's entrance in Endgame with Stormbreaker.
Great reaction! Love this movie! One point: It's sort of dishonest to say that most people didnt't like the sequels. The fandom is split on them at the moment (although most like The Force Awakens) but the general public enjoyed them just fine.
Exactly. A lot of loud voices online love to hate on the sequels (with SOME understandable reasons, some just dumb nitpicks, and culture war BS) but that isn't necessarily indicative of everyone. None of the SW movies are perfect. None. Not even Empire or Revenge of the Sith.
Star Wars fans didn’t like the sequels. I can accept 7 and maybe 9. But 8 can get in the bin! Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you enjoy the movies, great….but that is NOT Luke skywalker. He would Never try to do that to Ben (his sister and best friends SON). They tried something….but it destroyed the essence of the character. And don’t start me on the T*ttie milk scene🤮. Even Mark Hamill himself hates them.
@Reactsandgames I'm a Star Wars fan and I liked them (mostly) and plenty of others do as well. I'm assuming you saw VIII only one time. And you're clouded by misinformation. Hamill did not hate them either.
@@SubterrelProspector not at all. I’ve seen many clips of him discussing them. He fundamentally disagreed with the directors vision for Luke. He even said “that’s not my Luke in those movies”. But I take on board what you’re saying. Some fans enjoy them and that’s fine, I’m not a hater. But it bothers me a lot with what they did with his character. But that’s my opinion
I think you should show her the sequel trilogy after the prequels anyway. I don't think the sequels quite deserve the hate they get from the Internet. I mean, it wasn't as good as the original trilogy, but I didn't think the prequels were as good as the original either. The original trilogy was just pure magic that is not often replicated. However, I still thought the the sequels were decent movies and I really enjoyed them. I have all 9 Star Wars movies on BluRay, plus Rogue One and Solo; the only one I didn't really care much for was Solo, and that was only because of the weird Darth Maul resurrection. Other than that, even it was decent and enjoyable to watch.
Not really with this though. They clearly grew up on different planets and this film clearly says they were twins that were separated so there is no WAY someone is saying I spoiled that. You can’t win sometimes😂
One of the things I love about how they handle the music, every time during the three films when Darth Vader appears, they play the Imperial March (the Dark side theme). But the last time the y play it is when Vader dies, with a sad emphasis. The next time Vader figure appears in the funeral pile instead of the Imperial March, they play the Force Theme.
Seeing her react to these films for the first time brought tears to my eyes. To see Anakin restore balance to the force, as foreseen for the first time… wow New Star Wars doesn’t come close Rip Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one.
What ive seen in reactors watching the sequels is that they are fairly positive... IMO the negative comes from those that were expecting something different and they have voiced there dislike louder than those that are fine with them. After the prequels (and hopefully Rogue One)is that she watches them. Thanks guys❤
Even watching scenes brings me back to the genius the OT was, i had to grab a box of tissues. ROTJ is also my personal fave because of Anakin's redemption. That is after all, the overall story of Star Wars...Anakin.
The expressions on your wife’s face were priceless!! 😂😂 BTW Everyone does not hate the Sequels; if you watch that end of all the reactors that have reacted to The Force Awakens 95% of them like it. Plus most people absolutely LOVE Rogue One!!!!
I just love the pure innocence in her eyes. it's pure and it's refreshing and it's sweet.
❤️
The emperor died here forever in my canon.
The looks on Steph's face were just a beautiful thing to watch.
@@Kelvin-c9h Ah, good one. But dickish. Translate that.

I just finished watching all three of your Star Wars reaction videos. As a 50 year old adult, I just re-lived my own childhood wonder of Star Wars through this young woman's eyes. Thank you both and keep on doing what you are doing.
Really appreciate that! It means a lot to us and we really do hope you enjoyed the re watch! On to the prequels!!
Same, my friend, same!
I was in the Theater in 1977 as a Kid when the original Star wars came out. It was not even called A New Hope or Episode 4 at the time. I have loved and lived with these movies for over 40 Years. With Disney Acquisition aside, I can say this, it truly beams my heart in a great way to see your Wife enjoy these films in the way they were meant to be. With Joy, wonder and Awe. God Bless.
I was only old enough for Jedi in cinemas. My dad took me when I was probably 7 or 8. Its one of the few good memories I have of my childhood (also when he took me to see The Dark Crystal and then to an exhibition of all the movies''s puppets in Melbourne afterwards).
@zybch it's interesting that you say that because I was around 7 or 8:00 when Return of the Jedi came out as well. And I have vivid and distinct memories of seeing episode 4 and episode 5 in the theater. One of my oldest memories at 2 years old was sitting in the theater watching the original Star Wars with my dad asking him repeatedly throughout the movie if Luke and Vader were going to sword fight
What was it called back then? Just “Star Wars”?
@@justinm.1 Yep
@@justinm.1 Yes. Remember it was a solo film then. Those of us who were there still just call it Star Wars.
The scene that always gets me is Luke burning Anakin's body. That was a sad and beautiful moment at the same time. But then there was the uplifting scene of the celebration, happiness and love that followed.
It was a true “passing of the Jedi torch” scene, wasn’t it? Luke had the torch in his hand.
the celebration that followed when the ewoks ate the dead storm troopers? lol
@@phantom629 ... That must have been tough for the Ewoks. They had too much food! No refrigerators or freezers to keep it from spoiling....
As someone who has been crazy for Star Wars since the 80's, it is so fun watching the reaction of someone who not only doesn't know the twists and reveals, but is genuinely loving the material. Depending on how far you get (I say watch them all), remember there is the legends books, that even though they aren't canon anymore, they, in my opinion tell a much better continuation of the story.
Enjoy the prequels...looking forward to the react video!
I don't know who said that they are not canon. They are the only true continuation of the story...and it's true.
And not the nonsense that the fools from the current studios piled up. They just want to ruin this galaxy
Appreciate it thank you! I’m not familiar with the books!
It’s just so enjoyable to watch Steph’s joy and wonder! 😎
Spot on; well said! She _is_ a definite bright spot. Liam’s joy in reliving the journey is obvious as well. Him reliving it with Steph is fun to see, and him attempting to not spoil anything is hilarious.
Trying not to spoil it gives me anxiety 😂
@ I’m sure it is! Don’t know how you do it, honestly, Liam. It’s clear that you want to introduce Steph to these beloved experiences, usher & tutor her through, all without spoilers. Difficult task, but well done. Thanks for sharing with us all; love your videos.
That last shadow of Vader's theme as he dies hits hard. This movie has two of the most heinous changes in it - replacing Anakin's ghost's head with Hayden Christiansen's, and having Vader scream NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! as he grabs the emperor - it was so much better without that cheesiness.
I like the "Noooooo", it sounds like something anakin would do. I agree with the first thing though.
Local Star Wars fan appalled that a Father would cry out at the attempted murder of his child.
Excellent reaction! Your wife doesn't say a lot verbally during the movie since she's paying attention and processing what's happening, but her face is so expressive and a lot of fun to watch. Also, she has a natural reaction and isn't using the too-overly-expressive "reaction face". It's refreshing to see someone genuinely reacting to these films and not performing for the camera. I can't wait to watch other videos from you two!
Appreciate it, thank you!
When Luke attacks the Emperor with the saber, Vader blocks him not to protect the Emperor, but to protect Luke. Because at this point he didn´t want the same dark fate for his son.
That's what I thought and I only now realized it! Perfection
Don't forget to watch Rouge One (2016) after Episode 3. :)
If you haven't seen it, Rouge One is literately Episode 3.5.
And Moulin Rouge!
Rogue One is really worth watching. I even put it above the prequels.
Actually, you could have even watched Rogue One before watching the original trilogy as it doesn't give anything away, and it introduces you to Vader, Tarken, the Rebellion, and the Death Star, without spoiling anything coming up.
@@DavidRox71 No...Nooooooo!
"Rogue One" is not good. The best of Disney Star Wars but that is not a high bar to get over. I am out after the PT.
5:30 Fun fact: This scene with the dancer in the Rancor Pit was shot 13 years later and added to the 1997 Special Edition release. They hired the same actress who still looked in great shape after 13 years!
Dancers stay in great shape.
Wow, awesome!
Stephanie's reactions are so cute, and it's great to see her now fully grooving on the whole story arc.
DUDE!! You’re doing a great job of helping Steph get through this story! Steph…. Your reaction of the spoilers in this movie are incredible! Great job and keep up the awesome reactions!!
Ehhhh... Liam got better as he went along. He over shared for "Star Wars".
Thank you! Means a lot to us! Hope your enjoying them with us❤️
"I'll not leave you here. I've got to save you!"
"You already have, Luke. You already have."
😢❤️
G'day it's Steven from Down Under
It's great to see younger generations embracing Star Wars.
"May the Force be with you"
Hi Steven! Thank you for checking out our channel! ☺️
'Oh no...' the emotion and accent, pure and awesome. Lovely
What an ending to the Star Wars trilogy, I’m sure that no film making company would ever attempt to make a sequel to this and tarnish the legacy of this franchise right?
right? Surely they wouldnt!
And if they did they would surely take the time to plan it all out so it made sense. Wouldn't they?!
@@dansharp2860 exactly! And I’m sure if they did they wouldn’t allow 2 different directors with completely visions to split the next trilogy between them and create a complete incoherent mess 😅
@@sourswift Never! Nobody is THAT stupid
And surely they would utilize the vast resource materials of the EU for plot ideas that make sense.
I'm so excited for y'all to watch the prequels! Watching Steph experience Star Wars for the first time just brings me so much joy
Love the way the EMperor and Vader play Bad Cop, Worse Cop with the Imperial military officers.
I just love how he acts as though nothing made by Disney exists. That's the sign of a true fan. If you haven't seen it, I recommend watching "Fanboys". It's the ultimate fan tribute film
Nah. Most is crap, but Rogue One and Andor are fantastic.
@@rikk319 They really aren't.
@@sandman_says_runrunner4701 Compared to Leprechaun, Rise of Skywalker is fantastic. There's this thing called subtlety, or measurement by degree.
@@rikk319Everything by Disney is shit
Rogue One was good especially how it linked directly to ep. IV, but thats the ONLY disney SW movie thats even worth watching, even out of morbid curiosity.
Andor was good and the first 2 seasons of the mandalorian, but IMO neither is really part of the 'true' star wars universe, rather thet are not-terrible adjacent content.
The best one. Star Wars at its finest!
Only not this version!😅
@@Switters77Yeah. That dance number is easily the most cringe Star Wars has ever been. I hate the Special Edition so much haha
It was too late when I realised which version we were watching😭😂
It makes my soul happy when I see a true fan of the Star Wars series. Respect!🙏
❤️
I wish you would have been able to watch the original version and not the remastered. The scene where Vader saves Luke has way more tension since he says nothing before grabbing the Emperor and tossing him over the rail. Regardless of that, I can't explain how satisfying it is watching someone's honest reactions to these films. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
I absolutely agree! That tension and unexpected action! And really they could have kept the OG actor for Anakin!
Fully agree. Sometimes less is more.
That and Sebastián Shaw phantom have much more sense. She was like "wtf is this guy??"😂
I like Vader's first "no", but despise the second "NOOOOOO!!!". The first is powerful, and the first time in the films that Vader actually stands up to and denies the Emperor's wishes. It was simple and confidently spoken. The second was like the whining of child Anakin and broke the immersion.
I just left a comment wishing they reacted to the true OT as well. I watch a ton of reactions to the OT and confusion is the overwhelming reaction when Hayden appears.
It was also so wrong to replace Sebastian Shaw on so many levels both in story and real life. Wrong storywise because Anakin returned and died as himself as an older man. Not as a younger Anakin. So the elder Anakin is who should have appeared as a force ghost. Not to mention that Luke likely wouldn't have even recognized him if he did appear as his younger self.
And it was wrong for George to have replaced the actor morally because it was Sebastian Shaw's last appearance on film before he passed away. What incredible disrespect.
Also agreed with the " No " dialogue by Vader before he tosses the emperor over the rails. It was so much more powerful the way it was originally without dialogue because when he was looking back and forth between his son and the emperor we had no idea who he was going to side with so the scene only increased in intensity the longer it went on.
But with this version once he says " No " the first time you instantly know what his choice is so there's far less suspense and emotional build. It's strange that George didn't understand this but a lot of fans did.
I mostly get blowback from younger know-nothings who grew up with the revisionist versions whenever I post about the unaltered OT. It's tiresome having to explain why the real OT is so important for the aforementioned reasons and more. But it's also vital to keep the true OT alive.
Thanks for being a real OT supporter too.
Cant wait to see her reaction to Episode 3
Yeah
Darth Vader needed the suit to live (you will understand it more with the prequels), and without the suit only his rage and anger could keep him alive. When he came back to the light, with the suit circuits broken by dark force lightnings, there wasn´t chance to survive.
This has been great! Thank you, guys, for turning back the clock for someone who was a little boy in 1977.
Thanks for watching!
Prequels good, sequels bad, but NOTHING can touch the original trilogy.
Thanks so much for watching. I am EAGERLY awaiting your reaction to the prequels.
Your reaction to these three have been the best reaction I've ever seen, and I've watched dozens.
Prequels bad also :P
@@djpobI disagree
@djpob - comical take.
@@djpob Prequels.....disappointing.
@@ianfortier6796Ten years ago it was basically expected to think that to be respected in the fandom.
45:41 "he's done a complete 360 now." I think she means "he's done a complete 180 now."
360 is a full circle, so he would be going the same way.
Hey! No I meant 360! I meant that he went from good to dark then all the way back to good again! ☺️
@@Reactsandgames she hadn't seen the good side of Anakin...
I’m confused. There are multiple moments during these movies where they say anakin used to be a good Jedi! Good to bad back to good….a full 360.
1. Best guess is that Han was Jabba's "trophy" for about a year and a half before the rescue.
2. Vader discovered Leia as Luke's sister because he could feel it through Luke.
Luke didn't know that until just before then.
3. Luke's light saber is green because he lost his old one along with his hand so they decided to make it green because it worked better in the desert background landscape.
4. Everybody is freaking out because Luke and Leia kissed mostly because she was trying to piss off Han. They didn't know they are related.
5. The "I love you. I know" was written into the script to get Leia the shot to say it to Han.
6. This was Warrick Davis's/Lead Ewok first acting gig. He was only 13.
"Willow" is his lead with Val Kilmer and worth a first time/share.
7. Awesome camera work with the race through the forest. Nobody in their right mind would go that fast.
8. Carrie Fisher said in her biography that the most satisfying part in her Star Wars experience was choking out Jabba.
9. Jedi is plural. With Luke and Leia leading the way they can reestablish the Jedi back into the galaxy.
10. Ford wanted Han to die in the last episode.
11. IMVHO this is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After the first six he sold it to Disney, and everything changed. Sadly
12. RIP James Earl Jones😇
Some good thoughts and points.
Though point "2": Vadar read Luke's thoughts due to his worry for Leia, that is why he said, "Your thoughts betray you." and the feelings come in when he said, "Your feelings have now betrayed her too." Meaning his feelings made him think of Leia which let Vadar read it, betraying her.
Point "10": Ford wanted Han to die before that, mostly due to not wanting to play the character any more. It was the main reason for the Carbonite Freezing as it gave them the option either way if they couldn't work things out with Ford. It was also why Ford was checked out for "RotJ".
Absolutely RIP James Earl Jones... and Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, Kenny Baker, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing,...
We all "love him" - Master Yoda!
I've loved it since I was a child, and I still love it 40 years later!
Thanks for that reaction, from Germany!
Thank you for watching our video! ☺️
What an awesome journey with you two. Loved both of your reactions. One thing I will say is that regardless of what you may think of the sequel trilogy, there are incredible highs sprinkled throughout those films. I say that as someone who doesn't really care for them. I think despite the final film really going off the deep end, they're worth watching, for those great moments. Thanks for these reaction videos.
Thanks for watching with us!
Don’t worry about the spoilers with your wife. She is enjoying these movies regardless, and she is adorable with her reactions to these movies. It’s a way for all of us to relive those moments.
Jedi's only use their skills for knowledge and defense. the start of the final fight with Vader, Luke tries to avoid engaging with him as he's only defending himself and trying diplomacy. When Vader threatens his sister, now he's defending his family and the breaks come off and goes on the offensive. one of my favorite little snippets
Such a good fight! I really loved this movie! ☺️
Enjoy how much she has gotten into these movies!!
This is why I watch reactions
Thank you! ☺️
I think the number of people like Steph, who never saw these, is a rapidly shrinking group. So watching her discover these stories afresh is particularly precious. It brings tears to my eyes to see her fall for these characters!
❤️
As a kid watching this for the first time (and many times after), I never realized until I was older that the title "Return of the Jedi" was not about Luke, but about Vader who redeemed himself by saving his son, completing his return to the good side.
🥹
You're a lucky guy to be able to enjoy Star Wars with your lady. One of the best things about Star Wars is passing it on to others. Great series! I hope you watch them all.
16:09 Leia, Leia is my sister!....
Steph: Aye??????
This is too good!!! Hahhaha👍 Great reaction
😂 definitely caught her off guard 😂 don’t think she wants to see Leia kiss Luke again😂🤮
Saw this in the theaters last year for the first time for the movies 40th anniversary. What a treat was to see it on the big screen. Crazy to think that “he’s my brother“ was the last line in a Star Wars movie for 16 years until the Phantom Menace.
I remember vividly walking home from the movie theater with a friend after seeing this, talking about all the cool things we just watched and how badly I wanted a speeder bike. I had never seen such a full theater... we couldn't even sit together because it was literally at capacity. Empire is still my favorite but Jedi was easily my favorite movie-going experience of all of the SW films.
Nice!! Yeah I always wanted a blue light saber until this movie and then I was green all the way!! Haha
The way your wife is reacting to the scenes of importance, is so much fun to watch. I enjoyed so much to see her and her reactions! I would love to have a wife, who would get affected this much like your wife does!
Great job, guys!
By the way: You are such a nice couple! The way, you interact with each other tells me, that you have a very healthy relationship. It seems, that you are happy together! 😃
“Not many people like what they did with those stories. So everyone just forgets about them.” - I’m certainly trying to, Liam!
i think we would all like to forget
The sequel trilogy is so much better than the prequel trilogy though. It's crazy how Star Wars fans have (in general) completely turned around on the prequel trilogy for some reason. They were trash then, and they're trash now. The sequel trilogy at least felt like good movies, even if you didn't like the character developments.
@@BowieZ I strongly disagree

Gatekeeping is gross
Her facial expressions of suspense, wonder, and joy are priceless. What an angel she is. Can't wait for her to see Anakin Skywalker's backstory in The Prequels.
Really appreciate this! Thank you so much that is very kind. We are starting the Prequels VERY soon!
Steph's facial reactions are just gold!
When her face lit up seeing Leia under the bounty hunter mask or when seeing the Ewoks for the first time. The confusion when it was revealed that Luke and Leia are brother and sister and the horror in her face when seeing the Emperor unleash electric bolts out of his finger tips etc. Absolute gold! 🤣
for me its when yoda died ... she looked like luke did in the film ...so nice to see the amzment and sadness in her eyes ... reminds me when my son first watched star wars the PM its his fav movie as its the first star wars he watched as my partner at the time put it on ... personally i was abit grumpy she did it in the wrong order ..lol but even she loved that movie i guessed its why she put it on ...
😂❤️
Liam, my wife is half my age (48 and 24). She never seen Star Wars ever and it warmed my heart to watch her mesmerized by the Original Trilogy.
Awesome!
I am 55yo, and I grew up on Star Wars. I love your reactions, and I would like to educate you both on a particular character in this film. I am speaking of the Ewok who befriends Leah. That Ewok is portrayed by an 11yo Warwick Davis. You would know him as Leprechaun, Willow, and Professor Flitwick. I look forward to your reactions to the prequels.
Warwick Davis is a Star Wars staple, having played so many characters in so many films...
Facts, Thank you!
you either got better at staying quiet or better at editing it out LOL. I know a lot of us were pretty harsh on you. But this reaction was much better than the first 2.
Haha thanks!
Looking forward to the prequels. Thanks for the reaction
Thank you so much! 😊
Liam please don't feel like you have to apologize for stating your opinion that the sequels suck. They do. And it is so so sad that they wasted the opportunity to continue Han, Luke and Leia's story in a positive way.
Prequels are shite too.
To you they suck. To hundreds of thousands they don't suck. Complainers just have louder voices.
"Blue milk"
@@ULYSSES-31 The first 2 have issues but there are things to like. 2 is particularly painful thanks to the dialogue even if that fits Anakin's character. 3 is much better and ranks just below the OT. Padme having nothing to do lowers it. Editing out the Rebellion stuff was the right move but it made Padme look really weak and just there to deliver Luke and Leia and then die.
@@dansharp2860 Lucas caught lightning in a bottle when Empire was even more artistic and fantastic than A New Hope. I enjoy Return of the Jedi but not like Empire And New Hope. Getting two incredible films was more than we could ask for, and finishing off the original trilogy with a good film like Return of the Jedi was awesome. But diminishing returns is a real thing.
I too agree that Revenge of the Sith was the best of the Prequels, but 1 and 2 were so mediocre that it had a low bar. All Star Wars films have good scenes to a different degree (even the Sequels, though there aren't many!), and Revenge of the Sith has some of the most iconic, memorable scenes (You were my brother Anakin), but it also has some of the worst (No...I'm SO in love with YOU).
An unusual emotional reaction. Nice video!
So many people don't understand why Vader is dying after that. It's not hard.
He's mostly a machine now and his systems just got electrocuted.
I still cry about the computer I lost from lightning :P
I also always thought (even before any of the prequels/sequels) that the Emperor was somehow keeping him alive as well.
i enjoy that so much to watch you to. Lets do that again!!
Loved your reaction, Steph. In a way, you're very lucky for watching this fantastic trilogy for the first time ! Old timers, like me, like to watch them again and again, but the first time has a special magic in it, that can be lived only once
I don't know if you guys are into movie soundtracks, and you didn't comment anything about it throughout your viewings, but this trilogy stands high among the best works of the Grand Master John Williams. Great part of the beauty of the movies is due to the wonderful scores that underline and set the tone for every moment.
I have the soundtracks in every edition that was released, and from time to time I made a 6 hours session listening to everything, from back to back
So, shall we meet again in The Phantom Menace ?
May the force be with you !
Thank you. I know Liam LOVES the Star Wars soundtracks. The music is really great!
Liam, you do a FAR better job rewatching with someone who hasn't seen the films than I EVER would.
I would be the nerdie guy that says, "Oooh, this is the great part where..." and "Ooh, watch this!..."
Can’t wait to see your reaction to the Prequels.
There’s this RUclipsr who has this channel called CinemaSins where he lists errors or things wrong that happens in movies. An example of this being where a character watches something that is about to land on them (like a boulder coming down a hill), and then the object lands on them. Instead of the character simply getting out of the way before being hit.
So in the CinemaSins for Return of the Jedi. The guy who runs the channel says that the look of surprise that Han gives Leia after Leia reveals that Luke is her Brother was Han thinking about how She kissed her brother in The Empire Strikes Back. I think that is funny and probably what Han was actually thinking.
Haha it is funny to think that way! He probably did think that (knowing Harrison Ford😂)
I recall seeing the original in the theatre in 1983. The two silly and melodramatic "No"s were added in the Special Edition, so we had no warning what Vader was about to do. The entire place erupted in huge and sustained cheers when he grabbed the emperor and tossed him away. Everyone in the whole theatre was experiencing the same feelz, and left with a big grin on their face.
Yeah, bit gutted it was the remaster versions!
Thank you Steph for re-enacting my childhood wonder at the cinematic experience!!❤❤❤
❤️
The biggest mistake that any movie reactor - or anyone - can make is give in to peer pressure.
Liam and Steph, if you want to watch all the Star Wars movies, then DO IT! 👍👍
It's YOUR channel. The opinions of certain negative people here are irrelevant.
They're just movies. Enjoy!
ABSOLUTELY, besides if you watch the last few minutes of reactors that reacted to The Force Awakens, the vast majority of them said they likes it!! Personally I don’t like the last Jedi but I would never pressure anyone to skip it.!!
Oh this was only 9 days ago. Awsome. Watching your wife tear up. It really is like watching it again with a new friend. Thank you guys so much. Don't listen to the critics the prequels are just as amazing. The thing is people waited years for them and they just had high expectations. it's hard to make something were everyone already knows the ending.
Oh I love the prequels! Super excited to start at the weekend!
Just my opinion, but a young Anikin spirit force was wrong. It confuses everyone who watches this movie. Ppl (and Lucas) can make all the excuses they want, but they're just excuses.
That part I never got either
Yup. All the SE additions were mistakes. I wouldn't care so much if George had remastered and released the Theatrical Version also. Ego is a terrible thing sometimes.
They COULD have done some kind of transitional effect, where old Anakin is shown first, then fades to young Anakin, symbolizing him going back to the Light. Or something.... It is pretty jarring to see Hayden suddenly appear in this film.
@@vicolin6126 actually, that's not a bad idea. I could accept that
@@vicolin6126 Nah, he was already in the light and became a Jedi once again, before he died, at the moment he brought balance to the Force by killing the Emperor and leaving the Dark Side. That is why he said, "You already have Luke!" when Luke said he had to save him.
So, transitioning would not make any sense. It was done purely to validate the PT, just as the stupid "N-o-o-o-o-o-o!" they added to Vadar saving Luke only because Vadar said it in "RotS".
When I was a young kid and watching the original trilogy in the movies, I always felt they were Luke's story. But after the prequels, only then did I realize that both the prequels and original movies were actually all Anakin's story and his transformation from good, to bad, and back again. All six movies really put you on a big journey. Grest sci-fi, and a great story!!!
Liam and Steph, I urge you to ignore all the negativity regarding the Prequel and Sequel trilogies. Make up your own minds about them. Every one of them are entertaining.
The Prequel trilogy (Episodes I, II, III) and the sequel trilogy (Episodes VII, VIII, IX) were VERY successful at the box office.
All that matters is what YOU think of them. I hope you watch and enjoy all of them. It's STAR WARS! It's all just entertainment.
@@alancoy5305 you're both liars. Those movies suck
@@monkeyzorr3090 Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean he's lying. He was correct in saying it matters what the person themselves thinks of them, not some rando on the internet such as yourself.
I love these videos and your lovely wife! It's so nice to see someone new watching the original trilogy for the first time!! I am excited to see her watch the prequels. I hope she likes them They were not me favorite when they came out but they have grown on me over the years. Thanks for the video!
Just a little and friendly critic to my part : it's a pity that you don't discover the originals movies to your wife. I mean the originals editing. And it is easy to find them on internet, some fans built a "despecialized" editions of the tree movies in good quality. Maybe you grow up with the specials editions (I don't know how hold you are) but if you don't have to see the originals editions (without CGI effects ans some other things) i advice to you (to you two) to see them. In return of the jedi there are two things which are, for my part, very ugly and dirty : the "No!" of Vader to make an echo with episode 3 make me angry : in the original the emotion is in the silence of Vader and you know he hesitate without see his eyes. That was great, don't need to make reference to an other chapter which didn't exist at this time. And the second is the replacement of Sebastian Shaw by Hayden Christensen of course.
Especially this one. I feel like ROTJ had the worst changes with Jabbas Palace's song, the little shop of horrors sarlac, taking out yub nub, and worst of all, the "Nooooo" from Vader. This is just a horrible version!
@@Switters77 Yes, I forgot the Jabba's palace.
That first scene where they tell Vader the Death Star isn’t ready wouldn’t fly with social media nowadays. “Vader would tell, they made him look stupid” “the emperor was lying” “somehow the Death Star was operational” … so glad the internet wasn’t around back in the day
To second another’s comment, all the Star Wars movies are entertaining and worth watching. Please watch for yourself and make your own judgement. Great reaction!👍🏾
❤️thank you!
As to the Leia reveal, originally the plan wasn't for Leia to be the sister. Luke's sister was supposed to be hidden on the opposite side of the galaxy and her name was to be Nellith.
That's why when they wrote all their kissing scenes in the previous 2 films no one batted an eyelash, Leia back when they wrote that wasn't the sister and a true blood princess. After this film they obviously retconned her into being an adopted Princess.
Basically George Lucas was secretly getting divorced from his wife Marcia during the filming of Return of the Jedi (it got revealed months after the films release and was the most expensive Hollywood split for decades), who was an editor herself on the films (she won an academy award for her edits on A New Hope, and really improved the original drafts with her ghost writing and edits). Plus Lucas was being sued by Hollywood for not putting credits in the beginning of the film. So Lucas basically called it quits and merged a lot of plans for the next 3 films into Return of the Jedi. Like the lost Sister, but now she was Leia; and the Emperor being in the film, who was supposed to be the villain of the next 3 films. Where Luke was training his sister and her son, and implications of Luke meeting a woman (per Lucas teasing in an interview once) and having a daughter with her (per producers for these first 3 films). Now instead we get Leia hooking up with Han to imply they might have kids and Luke would train them... and the Jedi Order returning.
🤯
RIP James Earl Jones, such a great voice, such a great actor.
Bless him! ❤️
I just saw the Empire reaction video today and then watched this one too. Wholesome reaction videos! I subbed instantly. You both are great!
So, I just came across your Empire Strikes Back reaction video and enjoyed it so much, I had to watch your Star Wars & Return of the Jedi videos as well. Reaction videos are great overall, especially with Star Wars films for me, but yours take it a step further. To see how much Steph gets completely sucked in and fully invested in the story is the best part! It reminds the viewer how we felt when we saw these movies for the first time ourselves and for me brings a bit more emotion to the entire story. Great work with this and I'm really looking forward to your prequel trilogy videos! Really enjoyed it, thank you!
Really appreciate that thank you! Can’t wait to start the prequels. Starting this weekend!
Love this! went through the trilogy with you both, Brings the films back to life, great work 👋👋👋
❤️
OH YEAH! ROGUE 1 is a must see. Please watch next. Thanks guys. Good job on this one. Love the expressions from Steph! Well done! 💯👍🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🥹☕
Appreciate it! Thank you!
I was in the theater in 1983 for this. When Vader picked up the Emperor and threw him down the shaft (and back then he didn't say "No!" they added that for the Special Edition and it's not needed), the theater was full of cheers - "Yeah!" "Wooo!"
Also, the easiest way to explain the three trilogies is to say: There are three trilogies, A (Prequels), B (Original) and C (Sequels). But they made the trilogies out of order - B first, then A, then C.
The didn't really make them out of order as Prequels are never made first or else they would be the originals.
47:38 Moi je suis de votre côté Liam ! C'est super dur de répondre, sachant qu'il y a trois "prequels" et trois suites à tout ça, il est presque impossible de ne pas faire de bourdes à ce stade du visionnage. Bravo pour cette performance énorme, il faut le dire quand même. D'ailleurs je crois que c'est la première fois que je vois des réactions à Star Wars avec deux personnes, une qui a tout vu, et l'autre qui n'a rien vu. Donc chapeau l'artiste, vous avez assuré grave comme on dit chez nous !
Really appreciate it!
I love how she is so stressed out !!! this is a great reaction
Thank you so much for watching! ☺️
46:00 Obiwan and Yoda are looking at ghost Anakin like "WAIT, Why are YOU looking like your younger self while we still look old?"
I was just at the rigth age where ROTJ was the first movie I decided to go see with friends. I attest lo all these years later: Based on my personal reaction, audience reaction, and the current generations reactions, Luke Skywalker doing the back flip off the sail barge is still the single most exciting moment in cinema history, ahead of Thor's entrance in Endgame with Stormbreaker.
Great reaction! Love this movie!
One point: It's sort of dishonest to say that most people didnt't like the sequels. The fandom is split on them at the moment (although most like The Force Awakens) but the general public enjoyed them just fine.
Exactly. A lot of loud voices online love to hate on the sequels (with SOME understandable reasons, some just dumb nitpicks, and culture war BS) but that isn't necessarily indicative of everyone. None of the SW movies are perfect. None. Not even Empire or Revenge of the Sith.
Star Wars fans didn’t like the sequels. I can accept 7 and maybe 9. But 8 can get in the bin! Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you enjoy the movies, great….but that is NOT Luke skywalker. He would Never try to do that to Ben (his sister and best friends SON). They tried something….but it destroyed the essence of the character. And don’t start me on the T*ttie milk scene🤮. Even Mark Hamill himself hates them.
@Reactsandgames I'm a Star Wars fan and I liked them (mostly) and plenty of others do as well. I'm assuming you saw VIII only one time. And you're clouded by misinformation. Hamill did not hate them either.
@@Reactsandgames Lots of Star Wars fans like the sequels. They are fans too ;)
@@SubterrelProspector not at all. I’ve seen many clips of him discussing them. He fundamentally disagreed with the directors vision for Luke. He even said “that’s not my Luke in those movies”.
But I take on board what you’re saying. Some fans enjoy them and that’s fine, I’m not a hater. But it bothers me a lot with what they did with his character. But that’s my opinion
finally!!! been w8ing for this one too pop up on my feed! 7 days old for me, but still! perfect for sunday evening ty!
Appreciate it! Thanks!
Steph's reactions are some of the cutest on RUclips!!
Aww thank you!❤️
I think you should show her the sequel trilogy after the prequels anyway. I don't think the sequels quite deserve the hate they get from the Internet. I mean, it wasn't as good as the original trilogy, but I didn't think the prequels were as good as the original either. The original trilogy was just pure magic that is not often replicated. However, I still thought the the sequels were decent movies and I really enjoyed them. I have all 9 Star Wars movies on BluRay, plus Rogue One and Solo; the only one I didn't really care much for was Solo, and that was only because of the weird Darth Maul resurrection. Other than that, even it was decent and enjoyable to watch.
Okay! I might show her all of them! ☺️
You are going to get crushed for revealing the separated twins lol especially with the opening promise
Made me laugh
Not really with this though. They clearly grew up on different planets and this film clearly says they were twins that were separated so there is no WAY someone is saying I spoiled that. You can’t win sometimes😂
I loved your reaction guys, I watch you from Argentina to practice my English. I'm waiting for more Star Wars reactions!
Amazing! Thank you so much for watching! More on the way! 😃
Her expresion when he points out that they made out last movie x'd PRICELESS
😂
One of the things I love about how they handle the music, every time during the three films when Darth Vader appears, they play the Imperial March (the Dark side theme). But the last time the y play it is when Vader dies, with a sad emphasis.
The next time Vader figure appears in the funeral pile instead of the Imperial March, they play the Force Theme.
🥹❤️
Seeing her react to these films for the first time brought tears to my eyes.
To see Anakin restore balance to the force, as foreseen for the first time… wow
New Star Wars doesn’t come close
Rip Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one.
Thanks for watching!
@ thanks for making them, I’ll watch more. New sub.
@ thank you!
What ive seen in reactors watching the sequels is that they are fairly positive... IMO the negative comes from those that were expecting something different and they have voiced there dislike louder than those that are fine with them. After the prequels (and hopefully Rogue One)is that she watches them. Thanks guys❤
Precisely this ^
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don’t hate on anyone for enjoying them. I actually like the force awakens!
@@Reactsandgames 🔥👍
Even watching scenes brings me back to the genius the OT was, i had to grab a box of tissues. ROTJ is also my personal fave because of Anakin's redemption. That is after all, the overall story of Star Wars...Anakin.
"Only now at the end, do you understand." (The Emperor)
The expressions on your wife’s face were priceless!! 😂😂 BTW Everyone does not hate the Sequels; if you watch that end of all the reactors that have reacted to The Force Awakens 95% of them like it. Plus most people absolutely LOVE Rogue One!!!!
Rogue one we will watch. I’m actually a fan of TFA….if she wants to watch them we will. The last Jedi I watched once. Don’t want to watch it again😂
This is my fav. I've subscribed because I love you guy's reaction to this and Empire ❤
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
As always watching someone react as we did without any knowledge is awesome... Onto the prequels ..... 🔥
Steph's reactions. So lovely.
Thank you so much! ☺️
It’s so wonderful getting to watch the orig-trig again through someone else’s fresh eyes.
Thanks for watching!
I saw the original SW trilogy in the theatre when each came out. Episode IV, I watched 12 times. Never got bored.
It’s so good! 😊
