As a little kid, seeing that one Ewok dying and the other nudging him, then crying over him kinda bummed me out.
What I liked about the Ewoks is it shows that anybody can contribute. Think about it. The Emperor is going over the plan and who doesn't he plan for? It was the Ewoks. And it lead to his doom.
I chuckled when I read this comment. What’s wrong with me
Yeah that shit bothered me. Pretty sad for a kid to watch and it distracts from the fun experience or the film as a whole, especially the big finale.
@@30AndHatingIt lol calm it
@@AliDixon95 Problem?
Your description of the conflict within Vadar emoting through his mask is spot on.
Ya'll joking about that Rogue One sequel, but you wait and see!
I’d watch the shit out of a movie with just Bothans
I sent that picture to a mate with whom I have historically shared amusement over the line in ROTJ; he thought it was real and that he would watch it (maybe he missed the tagline, he hasn't responded since I told him it was a joke). I pray Disney isn't listening/reading comments. The story of horror and sacrifice of brave Bothans I've had in my head for the last 4 decades, is always going to be way better than any dreary Disney film.
Rogue #metoo
The third act of ROTJ is the pinnacle of directing multiple planes of action in a film IMO. You have three separate yet interwoven planes of action (Throne room, Space battle and Endor surface) and they all weave in and out wonderfully. The only part that comes close to me, at least in Star Wars, is the Battle of Scarif in Rogue One, and that's really only two planes of action.
Bro when Beau says what he wishes Yoda did when he sees Anakin's force ghost LMAO
ROTJ was probably my favorite as a kid. Loved the celebration at the end, the music gets me every time.
Yub nub or the other one?
Mine too. Still is. Because the conclusion of Luke being tempted but not succumbing.
@@irish6783 I know it was the "original" score but Yub Nub doesn't do it for me whatsoever. I grew up watching the 97 Special Edition releases and while I can acknowledge the faults of those movies with all the tinkering the addition of the new ending music from John Williams coupled with the shots of the celebrations across the galaxy was a fantastic edition IMO.
I've never understood the hate for "Victory Celebration" since it's by the Star Wars music master John Williams. Like I could understand if JW had died and they got someone else to do music but it's by the man himself so what's not to love?!
40 minutes at Jabba's palace just because they weren't sure if Harrison Ford will agree to come back.
I never was much a fan of that section of the movie. I'm not a big fan of Han, he's cool though.
@@johnnyraven7980 It really is like its own stand alone short movie. Aside from Han coming back and Luke displaying his skills, it had no impact on the plot.
Could have started the movie with Luke talking to Yoda and nothing would have really changed. Not like we needed to see the Rebels leave Yavin for Hoth to understand something happened off screen.
That said, I didn't hate it, just was very separate.
@@goldfishprime I still love this one more than the others. I never cared for Empire.
@@johnnyraven7980 Me as well. I acknowledge Empire as the least flawed movie in the series, but it was never my favorite. One of my favorite scenes and tracks in SW, rescue from cloud city + hyperspace, does come from Empire. ROTJ is always a good time to watch for me, tying ROTS for my favorite.

Real quick: I've been listening to the back catalog of nerd soup podcasts/reviews. You all have come SO FAR. The quality this year is even a step up. Great work ya'll, keep making art and you'll always have a fan here 🙌
When’s the next game of thrones rewatch guys?!?
wait again?
Oh fck off man..I had nearly forgotten that cursed series lmao
Dude ive been waiting
Probably around the same time as the new got shit coming out
I really want season 6-8 revisited.
My gf sat down with me and watched Mandalorian on disney+. She was like.... What's the sword thing? What's the force? Etc etc.
So we sat down and watched everything up episode 6(1-6). She was never a fan. It was fun watching someone who was like.... Vader isn't really his father is he? Just to see someone who gets to experience it for the first time. Great time.
The VHS are so worth it! Great interviews with Leonard Maltin & George Lucas before each movie. Plus Yub Nub! Lol
I thought I was the only one that loves Yub Nub.
I grew up with the original VHS box set, before all of the changes. Those versions are the best. Even the old Jabbas Palace song is bearable
My day is always great with a piping hop bowl of nerd soup. Appreciate you guys and all you do to make content for us.
Damn I honestly thought y’all stopped making videos for a while there. Glad to see you’re back!
I rewatched the Despecialized Editions recently and it's much much better. It doesn't have that musical number in Jabba's Palace. It's a lot less silly
I kind of feel like Yoda and Obi Wan should have been like "wait, we could have been looking young this whole time?"
Omg I was looking for this the other day and realized it didn't exist yet
My father still has the original pre special editions of the original trilogy. Gotta get those gems converted to DVD.
4K77 exists
I own them on DVD. Star Wars The complete saga collection from Walmart. It has episode 1 through 6. Episodes 4 through 6 have one disc for the original and one for the rerelease. I've had it for a couple years. Not sure why people think they cant get the original versions on DVD still.
@@jameslawrence4160bc while it's notnl impossible it's hard to find original copies on DVD that aren't special edition or have all that extra stuff that George Lucas added
Download Harmy's "Despecialized" editions. Really nice to see the originals that were first shown to me on video cassette as a kid remastered, rather than the new ones with all the add ons.
@@murrayisarobot better to use 4k77 since its ripped from an original film print
What I don't understand to this day is why those 2 Stormtroopers didn't just shoot Han and Leia _IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE_ instead of trying to arrest them or something.
I love how teddy says Baba fett lol
RIP MF DOOM
Darth Vader didn’t need the No added. You could feel the conflict within him as he watches his son being killed.
Super late to this video, but i agree with you on the 'new' song in Jabbas palace. The original song was creppy and alien and fit perfectly in this world where you are supposed to feel uncomfortable. However the new upbeat one is like "hey man its a party, when is Dean Martin getting here?"
Rotj is my favorite still then empire, I just prefer Luke as a Jedi master here with his green lightsaber , plus the end is epic
Mark Hamill is a perfect mixture of Chuck Norris & the Joker. He really is the best representative of the light & dark sides.
Glad you guys are back. I missed you guys :)
Episode 6 was a great way to end the saga. Mando is like great DLC and I just like to forget the sequels
I needed this today so bad god bless😭
I like to think the differences in the choreography is based on the time period in universe. With the flips and crazy fights in the prequels are from the height of the Jedi and everyone being trained if the 7 forms. Where in the OT it’s just raw emotion since Vader is the only one trained proper with a lightsaber.
But also a major fundamental element was Lucas' strict insistence during making the original trilogy of each of the actors pretty much always handling their lightsaber with both hands. Hamill would beg him over and over again to let up and that having at least some of the time wielding it in one arm could really help open up the fights and have more grace. But Lucas was on about how these devices needed to be regarded within the universe, the idea they were too heavy to not grasp with both hands. But of course then eventually the logic of their rules started to stretch a bit.
Empire is the best Star Wars movie, BUT Return of The Jedi has my favorite Star Wars scene in it. I also think RoTJ is a much more fun movie than ANH. The scene where Luke goes bananas on Vader, unleashing his rage, with the awesome music gave me chills as a child and gives me chills now. The emotional weight and implications behind each lightsaber strike was monumental. Plus this scene leads into Palpatine unleashing his lightning and Vader saving the day. Those parts are just too damn good.
To be fair you get more of a underdog story with the ewoks. I mean an army of Wookiee’s would be terrifying.
If I was Obi Wan I would be like, "how come you look young?"
I like the original trilogy before the special editions came out. I have the 1995 VHS box set. Good old classic tapes with a VCR. It's nowhere near as annoying because it doesn't have that stupid song with vocals at Jabba's Palace. no singing and I even like the music at the end too. The only thing I don't like about the original is that you don't get to see the other planets celebrating the fall of the Empire!
You should check out Harmy's despecialized edition.
Many Boffins died bringing us this revisited
The comedy was definitely unintentional. George Lucas is like m night shamalan when he tries to be serious it’s comedic when he tries to be comedic it’s unbearable.
I love it. That blunt, dry, unintentional sense of humour that just catches you off guard.
Yeah the word is that Lucas wanted the Ewoks to be Wookies, but a) they couldn't find enough people who could rival Peter Mayhew in height (dude was over 7 feet / 2 meters tall), b) the costumes would have been too expensive to make c) Chewie wouldn't have stood out as much, and d) going with the Ewoks sends a stronger message about nature vs technology and natives vs invaders. Wookies were said to be fierce, it wouldn't have seemed that impressive if they beat the Empire.
Great stuff guys
Yay finally!
The whole thing surrounding Slave Leia and people taking issue with it is something I have always found a bit baseless. Jabba is a vile creature and so it makes complete sense that he would make her wear something demeaning. He isn't going to let her dress any other way. And the whole enslaved theme behind the costume is completely destroyed when she takes the very chain that is around her and uses it to strangle Jabba to death. That's a pretty badass and empowering moment for her character and for women in general I would argue. I can still see the argument that maybe it was done to just objectify Carrie Fisher a bit but I honestly think it fits in the movie and is a great moment for her character.
Had RotJ on vhs as a kid in the early nineties and I must of watched it 50 times at least lol.
Phil Tippet: 'I took LSD when I was working on Return of the Jedi'
I read that they couldn’t find enough ppl to the size of Ewoks like 6-7 ft. Plus could have made Chewie les of a diverse character
I guess you meant Wookies but that's interesting I've never heard that given as a reason. But surely they could have just paid a couple of basketball teams since SW fever was at at all time high I'm sure anybody would have jumped at the chance to be in ROTJ.
Guys, get the despecialized editions! Blu ray quality unaltered versions, it’s the definitive way to watch these films now for me
I’m lucky I grew up either 3 originals. Yeah I’m that old
Actually my son grew up with originals,but I saw them in the original theatrical release
I agree soo much with this video but I have to say the fight with Obiwan an Anakin in ROTS was emotionally charged that shot you used with them spinning is actually a fencing move used to find an opening and its only used between opponents who know each others fighting style intimately. These two trained and spared against each other for decades! it was way more than look at these whirly twirly blades if you look Anakin's style is more aggressive hes pushing Obiwan back the whole time. Proving he's gotten more powerful in the short time since he last saw him, Obiwan realizing the only way to be Anakin is to play against his ego his pride. Super emotional. Just as emotional if not more than what we saw in RTOTJ in my opinion. Anyway great video guys I loved the banter I just stumbled onto this page and I'm glad I did.
Palpltine? Is that like a hot beverage they drink on Hoth to keep warm? lol great video guys!
Come on guys...most of us old folks pulled our selves through puberty with Slave Lei!
Alright Aaron are you trolling us with how you say Palpaltine
“MORE PAL-PULL-TEEN PLEASE”
With the OG song it all lands, I don’t know WTF they were thinking.
For the Jabba sequence I can see your point. I saw all these in theaters in 1997, the special editions. Those were intense twists in a dark underworld I couldn't keep my eyes off of, while trying to hide behind my jacket. It was goofy but as a child it was edge of the seat intensity that seemed a whole movie in itself! Your favorite characters coming in disguise, the droids being GIVEN AWAY! Chewie got captured! And Lando?! Never should have trusted him! Why did they trust him? Then shit it's actually Leia!?!? Wha? She's saving Han!
Sure the cheese is thick when you're going back and watching it but remember how well that made you feel back with the gang, back in the danger zone and the new alien atmosphere that feels some how familiar. It's a great romp of adventure that pulls a childs excitement right out of their chest. And just perfectly gives the second half a sense of weight and magnitude with the three battles come to head, outside the deathstar and on the moon and the one in the throne room. It makes for such a dizzying journey that leaves a child breathless and high on fantasy. No amount of analysis can undermine that this whole movie seals a mythical series full of wonder with a real sense of adventurous excitement and fulfillment. Nothing can compare, no series has ever been able to finish this strong. Ever.
You guys should definitely get your hands on 4k83 and then go again. Seeing the original cut in that high of quality is incredible
How does one get these?
jeez.. WW84 sinks. Is Teddy still upset that Luke made an appearance on Mandalorian?
Han's increased silliness (great way to put it, btw) here in ROTJ, I think a certain degree of it works okay. Or at least I mean like it's a plausible enough attitude to at this point in the timeline be more just right on the surface for him. It's not as much a priority for him to quickly default to his defense mechanisms of the whole outlaw devil-may-care bravado. He and Leia are on the same page now with their feelings and he's developed maybe his single strongest legit bond he's ever had with anyone not covered head to toe with hair as he does with Luke. After several years he feels secure enough to allow himself to try and be more happy. He knows Luke and Leia are both here with him for the long haul.
My favorite Star Wars film. Not the best, but the one I go to when I need a cheer up. People give this film way too much shit and need to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Also you guys should check our Heir to the Empire and Legends content! Great stories in Legends canon.
My favorite of the OGs. Not sure how it’s gotten criticized as much as it has (albeit not to bad)
please cover the expanse. it is probably the best scifi show ever. it is at least to me :)
do you guys want an Australian on the podcast? fly over here. I got a couch for each of you.
My favorite Star Wars movie ever
That song wasn’t in the original release Lucas added that in the 90s.
It’s the biggest problem with return of the Jedi Lucas added more nonsense to this film than every other original movie
Nice
Harmy's Despecialized Edition my man. Torrents have been up for years.
return of the kings
Let's forget about "The Rise of Skywalker". Please
Have you guys watched peaky blinders
Love the DOOM intro
I always felt bad for the crying Rancor trainer.
11:48p.m. 3/15/2022
Is that new intro OG Bey Harris?
I've been watching RUclipsrs react to Return of the Jedi. People watching the original trilogy for the first time without seeing the prequels and they all react the same way to Hayden Christianson. They all say, "Wait, who's that?"
Baba Fett, Palpo-tine, Orick-Hye.
Good point, Han Solo was too goofy to die.
Two questions: First... where was Mothma during New Hope and second, where was Dodanna during Return Of The Jedi?
Hello
The jabba change is fine tho right? ...... Right?
What Jabba change? Do you mean the fat dude, or what? He wasn't originally in Episode 4. That's a deleted scene they added to the special edition in 1997, Thirty years after the original movie.
8:52 "Find Luke and kill him"???? Are you insane? ESB is a movie about a father wanting to find his son to bring him into the family business. Vader wouldn't even kill Han after Han shot at him.
Ep V is the best one, I agree with everyone there, V is a perfect movie, but I don't agree that IV is better than VI, IV is clunky as hell and the most Lucasy of the OT.
still waiting on the ATLA review...
Other than Leia in the metal bikini and Luke slaughtering Jabbas goons I agree. Ive always felt the same way for the first act of ROTJ. So much time spent in this madness lmao. I’m like common I wanna see the emperor and Vader
It’s weaker than episode 4 and 5 but the Vader , Luke, emperor scenes are some of the best in all of Star Wars
1. Revenge Of The Sith
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Rogue One
4. A New Hope
5. Attack Of The Clones
6. The Last Jedi
7. The Phantom Menace
8. Return Of The Jedi
9. Solo: A Star Wars Movie
10. A Force Awakens
11. The Rise Of Skywalker
No
well that's... yep that's, that's definitely a version of how that list could go.
That is... a list.
Rogue One revisit?
They used Ewoks because it’s easier to find children sized people than 7 foot tall people to fill costumes
😤👌🏽
Why did Vader have to be burned when other Jedis faded away?
💂♂️
😂 Rogue Two
Many Bothans will die.
Hey, not liking Palpatine in XI is fair, for sure... but he *did die* in Episode VI, he literally says as much in IX.
Hello bo 👋
Ask yer uncle obi.
Also glad Han lives. This ain’t George RR Martin
4:17 yeah that didnt age well
Akbar Prequel!!
Clone Wars is as much canon to me as the original trilogy.
It was suppose to be Wookiee’s but it would cost too much to make a bunch of 7 foot costumes and to find 7 foot actors .
The Ewoks are much easier to find little people and kids .
That is why they are called Ewoks it is kinda pig Latin for Wookiee
My least fav of the OT but I loved the review.
Nicr
Surprised there was no mention of the biggest sin the 90s editions committed: blatant Yub Nub erasure
Can't wait for the last jedi revisited. A lot of people have gotten past their initial rage and realize that it was actually pretty good
I think the scene at jabbas palace go’s on way to long
First
