I’m so happy that I get to see people be surprised by “I am your father”. I never thought that would happen.
Her reaction was exactly the same as the guys on our playground back in the day! So cool to see it again.
she sounds like half the people coming out of the theater in 1980 LMAO
‘Do or do not, there is no try’ is 100% motivation fuel. Amazing line. Amazing movie. Still the best Star Wars movie 43 years later
lol no
I loved your dynamic, how well you played off each other a real team. "May the Force Be With You, Always".
Ya'll laughing at Yoda falling down when Luke broke his concentration had me laughing too. That's it, we're all going to the Darkside now. 😂😂😂
lol lil dude's just fine hehehe👍
Y'all, these are LEGIT shaping up to be my favorite SW reactions by anyone!! I am esp loving how much Sophie is so into it/figuring out all the ins and outs and deeper stuff too. Can't wait to keep going!
The way she reacted to the twist... you've got to put a ring on that hand mate ;)
Best reaction to ‘I am your father’ ever!
A couple of things you missed: Darth Vader wasn’t aware that he had a son until the Emperor told him, even then he said “How is this possible”. Another hint in this regards was shown when Yoda sent Luke to fight the fake Darth Vader who turned up to have his own face. Nice reaction!
Darth Vader did know that he had a son. Remember, he knew the name Skywalker from the beginning of the film and had been hunting Luke across the galaxy. When the Emperor told him in the hologram, he was faking surprise, as he was already wanting to have Luke join with him just like what happened before (I'm not spoiling in case Mair and Sophie haven't watched the film yet). Of course, we can't tell that he's faking it because we can't see his face, but from his word choice, his pauses, and from the fact that he was already looking for him and the Emperor didn't know it. This has also been confirmed in the comics in both canons as well.
Vader knew. Comics had Vader send Boba to Ben's old home on Tatooine and find out about the boy and received the word Skywalker, which means Palpatine lied about his wife and childrens death, so he goes looking for him. This recontextualised the whole scene here with it basically being the Emperor subtly calling Vader out; "I know what you know and you cannot hide anything from me."
One of my favorite things to do as a kid in winter was build forts and set up my Star Wars and GI Joe figures have battles like the Hoth battle.
Wasn't money that swayed Lando here, it's the sheer power of a Super Stardestroyer with its hundreds of TIE fighters and tens of thousands of Stormtroopers...
I think Vader letting the officer live at the end was the moment he started to turn to the light. He finally had a face to face with his son, and the choice of the son or the emperor was already tearing him apart.
It's a good theory. Anakin gave in to power, thus it defined how he (as Vader) views everything else around him. So seeing Luke choose (presumable) death over power would be a serious "that doesn't make any sense" moment to Vader internally.
33:47 I recently learned this but the reason they cant track it is because since they are landed on it , the scanners apparently identify it as part of the star desteoyer. Like an extension of the ship. And since they cant see it and its the same colour its hard to pick it up with eyes from the windows of other ships
Yep! One of the things people tend to not know about radar (and other scanning technologies) is that there's actually a _minimum_ range before they can meaningfully detect anything, because otherwise the signals reflected from close objects would dominate the readings.
"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.
Great reaction!!! Sophie kills me!!! Her reaction to "No, I am your father" is classic!!!
When you compare this film to the previous, you may notice that THIS is the only film in which Darth Vader actually is a commanding officer over the Imperials. In the original Star Wars, Vader was actually just the right-hand man to Governor Tarkin.
There's also an interesting worldbuilding question with the claim that Han's Tauntaun "will freeze to death" despite Tauntauns being, presumably, native to the ice planet Hoth. But the answer's actually quite simple: they must be diurnal creatures (active at day) who normally retreat to caves/burrows/shelter to endure the freezing nights. In comparison, there are many real-life species living in deserts despite that the hot sun during the day absolutely WILL kill them if they're out in it too long.
I am amazed that Sophie has gone all this time and hasn't heard anyone say, "Luke, I am your father!" I was waiting for it on pins and needles! LOL
You two always brighten up my day!
Lando wasn't a bad guy at all. He didn't cross Han and Lea and Chewie for money. He did it because he had no choice. He's basically the mayor of cloud city, and if he refuses, Vader starts executing citizens until he complies OR just offs Lando and waits for Han and captures him anyways. Lando took the best possible option available to him. Comply for the time being, while staying alive as long as possible to try to get them all out of the situation as best he could. He got Chewie and Leia out of danger, and got the citizens of Cloud City to evacuate. Lando was a hero.
He shows it even more in Return of the Jedi, but Lando is very similar to Han in that's he's a rough-around-the-edges scoundrel, but with a heart of gold.
For comparison, the Empire (evil or not) is nonetheless the legitimate government over the galaxy, so it's analogous to, say, federal agents from the U.S. government informing a city that they're setting up an operation to catch a known terrorist -- anyone else can either help them do it, or keep out of the way.
Lol you didn't get that the kiss to Luke was just to make Han Solo jealous, that was all.
On Sophie's remarks about thinking about these movies in a certain way because they are part of a larger series, I think it's worth pointing out that this is a more modern perspective on film series that's really only gained traction in the past twenty years or so, with the obvious most prominent example being the MCU. Modern film series are often intended to be extremely serialized stories where each movie is a piece of the larger story and appreciated as a larger whole. While obviously the aim is for each movie to be enjoyable on its own, it can be difficult to appreciate some installments if they become too over-reliant on being part of a series as opposed to being seen as a standalone product. But this method of film storytelling was much less prevalent in the 70s and 80s when the Star Wars OT was made. Lucas always wanted to make more than one movie, but he didn't know he would until it was obvious that the first one was a huge success. After that he knew he would get to complete this trilogy, but he still didn't write them fully cohesively, or at the same time. ESB was written and filmed without knowing many of the details about how RotJ would turn out. For one thing, they weren't sure if Harrison Ford would come back so they left room for him to die in between movies, which would have obviously significantly changed things. There are also references to the love triangle in the first two movies that were written in before they wrote the twist for Jedi. There are other things as well.
Ultimately these movies were (and are) meant to be individual pieces of entertainment that in the end do tell a larger story, but they are left to stand on their own enough that you can enjoy them entirely individually. So when you think of A New Hope, it's not necessarily that the thought process was "this is the first movie, so we're going to focus on introducing the characters and setting up the larger plot." The first movie is entirely self-contained and works even if it's the only Star Wars movie that's ever made, with room for a sequel but not requiring one- because they didn't know if they were going to get one. Empire is somewhat crafted in a way that it's supposed to be a "middle part" of a trilogy, particularly tonally, with its dark themes and frankly largely unhappy ending, but still once again the major conflict is started and ended in this film. While it obviously builds on information from the first movie, it can be taken as "just another adventure in the lives of our heroes," that is meant to be appreciated on its own. The same is true for Jedi. The same is true for other movie series of the time, like Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Jaws, the Star Trek movies, the Superman movies, Karate Kid, Rocky, and many others. Each movie tells it's own story. It is a new conflict, and by the end of the movie that conflict is largely resolved. The next movie builds on the mythos of the previous movie, but is still able to stand on its own. Because much of the time you don't know if another movie will be made, and even if you do, you want the creative freedom to do what you want with it without being too tied down to a plan that was made earlier. I think this is worth remembering when you watch film series from before the 2000s (and even often in the 2000s as well).
The franchise peaked 44 years ago with this film.
The best, deepest, funniest Star Wars movie.
I like that Sophie was inspired by Yoda, like so many before her. I was never inspired by movies in that way really, I just like certain quotes because they are catchy and badass. And Mair has got some real poker face, I hope I will too whenever I show Star Wars to someone like this. Aight, now I gotta watch some more of your reactions.
I can't wait for those Mair stares after Sophie commentates on the movie
Mair looking at this camera is too funny to me!!! Whew!! 😂😅
When he took his lightsabre into the cave on dagobah he failed the test and so he saw his face in vaders helmet as it was a possible future for him should he continue that way
I love how Yoda's whole demeaner changes once his identity is revealed.
Cat was out of the bag at that point.
Mair: "How do you think it's gonna end Sophie?" 🎥 👀 😂
Fun fact: Vader already had hired Boba Fett two more times. In the first time, he had the order to bring back two wanted criminals and Vader refused to pay him because they've become practically unrecognizable because of Boba's habit with the flamethrower on his arm, that's why in the movie tells him "No dismemberment", in the second one he hires boba again to track down the boy who destroyed the death star, that's how Vader knows about his name and that he has a son
48:46 Just sits her up like a stuffed animal 😂
Mair's look after Leia kissed Luke in the medical bay is priceless. He knows.
As far as why Obi-Wan didn't tell him, it's basically explained in the next movie.
Mair, you'reu a genius for having Sophie get into SW! Watching her reaction is SO DOPE! And Sophie (HI! 🤓), I love to watch your wheels turn and unravel the story! I always say, SW is like the ULTIMATE SPACE SOAP OPERA & ROM-COM ADVENTURE rolled into one HUGE story. No doubt, you'll become addicted just like the rest of us! Love you both and MTFBWY!
John Williams was in his bag with these film scores!
You two telling R2 to stay put 18:01 😂 you’re gonna see if you keep watching Star Wars, R2 is one of the greatest heroes in the universe
Sophie's deep! Love rewatching these with you guys!
Mair & Sophie, 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..
Imperial walkers are so cool! Pretty much just a big dog with lanky legs and cannons🤣
Episode 3 is the darkest and saddest and best one so getting ready for that.
best one is empire strikes back for sure, it is 10 times better than return of the jedi
@@denizardai I disagree with that. I'm not sure which one I actually prefer to be honest. RotJ lightsaber scene is really emotional and the best one of the trilogy in my opinion. I can never decide which I prefer.
12:13 i didnt noticed Dax’s head was lean before the shot happened lol whoopies
That is a Wampa. Native to The Hoth Planet.
at this point in the series there are only like 4 or 5 girls in the galaxy. got to learn to share!
Could you guys be more adorable? ❤ Thanks for the video!
BTW Is nice to be able to see the trilogy at once. We had to wait years to continue following the trilogy. 1st one -1977 2nd one -1980 3rd one 1983.
😊
Mair. You are right. It is a TaunTaun
2:38 actually it was Norway 😂.
you two are a vibe. i love it.
Ahhh I love watching you two ❤
Excellent reaction!
This story is the classic "Hero's Journey," except Luke isn't the hero.
She really said "Luke, you can't park there" after he crashed lmao
And she hit the nail on the head with "This movie isn't as confusing (...)" because modern movie writers suck ass lmfao.
Y’all need to watch Rogue One Immediately 🔥🔥
I don't think Lando did it for money. He just didn't want to die.
They paid him.
@@westfinest20 Yes, they paid him and he didn't want to die. Choice is either get paid and live or die and the Empire does what they want regardless.
@@westfinest20 THEY PAID HIM!?
still I think he though he could out maneuver them and have the less casualties possible.....damn
She kissed Luke. To make Han jealous.
Billy DEE!
Decades lates Yoda's quotes are relevant. Do the dishes, there is no try.
Sophie, get it together! HAA
Mair is cool and sophie is my hero 😅
I think the Hoth scenes were filmed in Norway. I don't think there's any decent beer joints or good hotels in Antarctica, but I could be wrong. 😀 9:57 DON'T get on a Zoom call with Vader! 14:47 Han and Chewie would be good subjects for RUclips's Fail Army channel. Always wrenching on that Millennium Falcon, it's like his old 1967 Mustang GT. 53:00 Captain Nida got a lucky break. The Imperial Military doesn't have a very good retirement plan, do they?
Fun reaction, well done. Cheers
Luke is in the bacta tank to be healed from his wounds.
You gotta great poker face Mair.
Fun fact, George Lucas decided to put Han Solo into carbonite because he wasn't sure Harrison Ford would sign on for the 3rd movie
On the road to Episode3!! Can’t wait!
LOVED the reaction! Can't wait for Return Of The Jedi reaction.
53:45😉🤣🤣🤣
I think Yoda and Obi Wan didn't want Luke to go because if Luke found out that Darth Vader was his father, Luke would have been seduced by the dark side. That's why they wanted to complete his training first. It's pretty common these days where movies are expected to end in cliffhangers, but back when Empire was first released, it was a huge gamble and it had never been done before. I wonder if George Lucas didn't finance the movie himself, if the studios would have let him end the movie with a cliffhanger.
Nice reaction!
You guys are too cute.
Hilarious.
i hope one day after you guys finished all of the movies , you guys start Clone Wars series , that would be GREAT
Just found your channel! I love watching reactions to this movie when one hasn't seen it! Also Sophie looks like the hot black chick in Bronx Tale! You guys need to watch that movie!
She over thinks EVERYTHING.
Lmao. You do or you don’t. No try.
Sophie's a whole mess 😂😂😂
good thing R2 doesnt taste good
I'm a huge sci-fi fan, but I never liked Star Wars. To me, it felt like a campy, boring, shallow facade hiding behind spectacle. And I watched it as a kid, when this should have blown my mind. Can someone explain the appeal?
Bs both of you seen this
Hey it’s tough love. Don’t you discipline your children?
