@Sandlund93 The whole point of a "backup hero" was back in the day Mark Hamil was something of a daredevil, especially driving cars....FAST! The "scar" he got from the Wampa, was actually to explain, in-movie, a scar he had gotten in real-life from a bad car accident. Having realized that, after the accident, that there was the potential for Mark to do something dumb that would keep him from being a fully trained jedi, if he had gotten hurt in real that would have affected the movie, a fully trained, non-Leia, Skywalker twin would have shown up and saved the day. George realized that it would have been horribly received by the fans but had to cover his ass and didn't have a choice. Fortunately Mark became much more responsible and the need for an alternative jedi was never needed so, to explain that line, they pivoted to making Leia his sister. Star Wars was never as well planned out as Lucas would have us believe, but instead had a great creative team that did a great job of creating explanations and links that filled the gaps.
You are the first reactor I've watched who understood that when Leia said she knew Luke is her brother, that she was using the Force to realize it. All the others pay no attention whatsoever to her facial expressions in that scene. They listen only to the words and assume that it was just some fact she knew overtly through the entire thing. That kind of attention to detail earns you a sub and a like from me.
Literally no one assumes it was an overt or conscious knowledge. People who object to the line are criticizing the insanity of the choice of words to describe her feelings of awareness. You are assuming that the entirety of people's thought comprises only what they tell you. The whole subplot is actually autobiographical. Lucas is telling us about something that actually happened to him and a cousin. I don't think anyone knowing that would hold it against him, but some of us object to a seeming normalization of it in some places. And just as we're starting to decide we can overlook that, he throws it back in our face with an absolutely bonkers way of describing it. If he's going to have the subplot in order to warn people to be mindful, it needs to be done tastefully, but instead he manages to make it as creepy as humanly possible. That's why he gets dinged for it. He seems to want it both ways. In telling the real-life story, he seems to truly have been creeped out to discover how he and his cousin were deceived. But in the film, he also seems to exploit it for "entertainment" value in several moments. It absolutely deserves the criticism reactors have thrown at it.

You do know Lucas wasn't the only screenwriter for the movie, right?
I loved the reaction. Darth Vader didn't kill The Emporer, Anakin Skywalker did. The conversation between Anakin and Luke on the shuttle ramp was very emotional, the line thats gets me is when Anakin says, 'You already have Luke'. Can't wait to see your reaction to the prequels.
I was born in 1974, so Star Wars had already arrived by the time I really knew what was going on as a tiny kid. And I was swimming in it as a young kid. Such awesome times. So many stories. We'd all be swapping figures, collecting the sticker books, reading the 'making of' stuff etc. I remember using a rubber concertina thing and tons of papier mache etc to make my own version of the giant space worm from Empire Strikes Back (I'd blow in one end tomake it spring out of the cave). And my parents got me the awesome Ewok Village toy playset in Christmas 1983 and I loved it so much that I remember mum shouting up the stairs, eagerly trying to get me downstairs for breakfast :) I also remember being a bit perturbed that my brother swapped 18 of our cool toy figures for one unboxed Rancor Monster figure with a virtual stranger down the road. It was all amazing. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were gifting us with rockin' blockbusters all the time. At the same time proper arcade machines had arrived so we were the first generation to be playing computer games at home of Star Wars and other favourites. Home video was just arriving too, so that also meant we could watch them over and over again.
Late to comments here, just fin'd your Ep 4, 5 & 6 reactions. They were great. So fun for us "Gen Xers" who grew up w/these movies (had the posters, lunch boxes & action figures) to see younger people now seeing / reacting to Star Wars for 1st time. Great reactions! Looking fwd u continuing your Star Wars journey w/Ep 1, 3, 3 & Rogue One. Keep watching - Keep enjoying! :)
15:08 The leader of the Rebellion is Mon Mothma. She is the woman giving the briefing. She is a very important character as you will see in other Star Wars material. Her scene in Revenge of the Sith was cut, but she does appear in Rogue One, The Clone Wars, Rebels and Ahsoka.
At the time of the release of the original trilogy films, James Earl Jones portraying the iconic voice of Darth Vader would be like Morgan Freeman doing the voice today.
I don’t think the goal was to kill Darth Vader. The goal was to confront him. I suspect that, in order to become a Jedi, Luke had to confront his past demons, internal struggles, etc… including father issues.
At 17:50, this was recorded on private land adjacent to Redwoods National Park in far northern California. The area they were filming in was slated to be cut down, which is why they were able to record there....but you if you go to Redwoods, it looks just like this. 🙂
Great reaction! Thank you! In the episode you’ve just reacted to, you have my most favorite line of all the movies I ever watched in my entire life - “I am a Jedi, like my father before me”. It was wise to watch them in their release order. In the next ones (1, 2 and 3) you’ll learn the story of Darth Vader … and when you’ll get to ep. 7 (The Force Awakens), some awesome surprises will wait for you there. You decided to watch a great saga, so great that it earned its own worldwide celebration day, which is May 4th, that is May the fourth - like in “may the Force (be with you)”. Looking forward to your next reaction. Salutations from Romania …
Imagine if Vader/Anakin survived, and made it back to the Rebels with Luke. There would have been some pretty awkward moments with Leia, Han, Lando, and everyone else who suffered because of Vader.
I was 13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre and 1 Years old in 1980 when I saw The Empire Strikes Back in the Movie Theatre, I was 19 Years old in 1983 when I saw Return of the Jedi in the Movie Theatre, Anakin Skywalker was the Jedi that returned, Everyone in the Movie Theatre was shocked and gasped when we discovered that Princess Leia was Luke's Twin Sister. Everyone cheered in the Movie Theatre when Darth Vader turned on the Emperor, in the original version Darth Vader did not scream No before grabbing the Emperor. He just looked back and forth before grabbing the Emperor. In the original the Force Ghost of Anakin was the older version of him portrayed by the older Actor who played Darth Vader.
You were correct - Luke couldn't strike down the Emperor because it would also lead him to the Dark Side. One of Yoda's lessons in _The Empire Strikes Back_ was, _"A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack."_ While it's never outright said in the franchise, I suspect the underlying message is that all life is sacred, so in extinguishing the life of your enemy, you _become_ the enemy.
I really enjoyed this. May I suggest Eddie Murphy's 48 Hrs.1 and 2. Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2. The Golden Child, Harlem Nights, Trading Places, Boomerang and Nutty Professor 1 and 2. Forrest Gump many say is a tear-jerker but so was "A TIME TO KILL" that many have not done yet.
James these are really great ideas! Thank you for that, adding them all minus forest & time to kill because I’ve definitely seen them a few times. Especially a time to kill LOL “yea, I killed them and I hope they burn in helllllllll” (prob not the direct quote, but you get it lol )
@@WhatsTeeWatchin OKAY !!! Close enough "Yeah they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell" 😂 Can you replace that with Denzel Washington's "GLORY" "A SOLDIER STORY" "DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS" "UNSTOPPABLE" "JOHN Q." "EQUALIZER 1 and 2" If you have not seen "JOHN WICK 1,2,3,and 4" ??
Nice reaction. It’s funny. Fans will hopefully not leave spoilers about the Luke/Leia real relationship and let the reactor just make their predictions about the “love triangle” they spot in IV and V. Then in VI we get to see your real shocked reaction at the plot twist revelation 😂 If you wish to continue and learn Anakin/Darth Vader origin backstory then watch Episodes 1-3.
Thanks for watching this trilogy. I really hope you appreciate why this is such a beloved franchise. When Star Wars first cane out in the late 70s and 80s, nothing else like it existed and even the special effects had to actually be 'created' for the first time for the movies ( I know it may look a bit out dated now, but back then, it was new and exciting!) Can I just say, if you're gonna watch episodes #1 - 3, they have a different vibe but by the end you will really love the story even more than now. There's a lot of talk about politics in it, but my advice is, don't worry so much about the political talk, and just watch the characters cause that's really the core of what the movies are about....can't wait for you to see them! Thanks again for your reaction and keep smiling!
Originally, Leia was not going to be Luke's sister. The idea of him even having a twin was to make the audience fear that there is someone else standing by in case Luke turns to the dark side, so you feel there is a real possibility that Luke could go bad since he's expendable now. But originally his sister was going to be a totally new and different character who would be introduced in this film, and then the next trilogy would be about her. But by 1983, Lucas was tired of making Star Wars films and he just wanted to tie up all the loose ends, so he just made Leia the other twin.
27:00 Pain. The kind of pain that you could never dream of. A special type of pain meant to cultivate your fear, anger, hatred, and other negative emotions (for that is what fuels the Dark Side of the Force) until you kill your master and take an apprentice of your own.
7:26 good 😘 7:40 my reaction to Jabba licking Leia: 🤮 8:07 no fair! 10:08-10:15 my another reaction to Leia killing Jabba is good riddance, ya filthy 🐌 Hutt. 10:22 😂 10:49 Tarzan yelling
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 in 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'/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. A little corn. Hans' reaction to Leia telling him Luke is her brother. 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 this episode. 11. This is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After this he sold it to Disney and everything changed. Sadly
The bikini Leia was wearing is called the "Princess Leia Slave Outfit", many Women have accually bought if to surprise their Man. Yes It is the outfit Ross was talking about in friends. It seems many women (Star Wars Fans) have purchased the outfit and then posted to social media wearing it. So yeah Leia wore it outfit So well that Almost 50 years later Women are still costume playing her. In an interview she said you can not imagine how hard she had to work to get in that kind of shape because she in real life as always as she said a more chunky girl next door type.
tynia, i think you are the only? one besides myself to notice that Luke's clothes colors changed through the movies i had a theory that he was going to the dark side.
4:38 lol another stream of questions like in the last one. Love it. 8:20 lol. Vegetarian 28:48 good observation. I think I read somewhere that George Lucas did that on purpose to show that Luke could still turn to the darkside. And it isn’t till here 36:42 where you see the strip of grey that you see he made his choice. Not sure if that’s true or not but it’s a cool idea. Great reaction.
Fun fact: Underwear does not exist in the Star Wars universe. Therefore no Star Wars actor wore underwear during any of the filming including the scenes where Leia is wearing her famous bikini Another fun fact: Ewoks are actually primates just like us despite superficially resembling bears
Hello thanks for the reaction, one thing I loved about what you pointed out of Luke’s outfit. How it’s all black in this episode vs the warm colours of the previous episodes. Also showing the crisis of conscience Luke having since episode 5, one thing I don’t know if you cut from the reaction or didn’t notice is, that once Luke reaffirmed his allegiance to the light side. During and after the scene of the electrocution Luke interior of his suit comes apart to reveal a white lining to his suit.
Going into Ep.1, keep in mind that it takes place before the Empire, so there is no emperor and no rebel alliance. There is still a democracy in the galaxy but it's on its last legs. The ruling government is the Republic which has a galactic congress made up of senators from all the member planets (though not every planet is part of the Republic). The leader of the senate is the Supreme Chancellor, kind of like the president or prime minister of the galaxy. There is no military because there's been peace for 1,000. The Jedi serve and protect the Republic but exist apart from it with its own rules and traditions. Centuries before they had defeated their ancient dark side enemies, the Dark Lords of the Sith. By the time of Ep.1, the senate has become corrupt and ineffective, with senators open to bribery from wealthy, powerful corporations which are so influential that they even have their own senators in congress who influence the laws in their own favor. One of these corporations is the Trade Federation. They are the apparent villains of the film, but are secretly in cahoots with a familiar-looking shadowy figure pulling the strings whose existence not even the Jedi are aware of.
Excellent reaction, one of the most intelligent I have seen with rich observations of the characters and interconnected stories. Highly recommend you see Episodes I, II, and III to see Anakin's backstory and follow up with Rogue One, as it's the prestory to Episode IV.
the troopers have different outfits there are spider bikes troopers on the speeder bikes then there's snow troopers on Hoth planet of snow n there's storm troopers in episode 4 a new hope
first I would like to say this woman is a complete knockout in the looks department, with a great personality to boot. Secondly, I don't like the Ewoks but I love everything else about this movie. I also love the new song at the end because the original one sounded like the theme from the care bears spoken in a weird alien language.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 no it doesn't. And i am not a dude, my name is Ralph and i have been watching star wars since I was in jammies. And even then i knew yub nub was the worst. I almost hate all of the special additions Mr. Lucas added to the Return of the Jedi, especially the goofy dance number at Jabba's palace. But one change that worked was the song at the end, something most hard core Star Wars fans agree on.
I always believe that Luke brought balance to the force. He didn't believe in absolutes like dark and light. He was able to control both sides of the force.
tynia, you didn't show it, but when Luke told Leia, she was sad afterwards, why ? because she knew she would have to get rid of her child(ren) because at the end of the last movie, her and luke were alone together on a spaceship and what do you think they did? and star wars is based on japanese culture and in that, incest is shamed upon. so when Yoda said in the last movie the future you could see, he said in this movie, he said there is another skywalker, i don't think he was talking about leia, i think he was talking about the future...

For you, perhaps. Plenty of people are neither uncomfortable with it or understand exactly what that scene is accomplishing.
"As i said, i don't fault Lucas for going there, but with the way he chose to present it, it doesn't make for good conversation or even debate. It's just a mess that should have been handled better, but he was too immature at the time. I think if he'd done it 15 or 20 years later, it would have been very different. But it is what it is."
You do know Lucas wasn't the only screenwriter for the movie, right?
@@no_rubberneckingI think wyldink1 wins this one, bud..
I loved the reaction. Darth Vader didn't kill The Emporer, Anakin Skywalker did. The conversation between Anakin and Luke on the shuttle ramp was very emotional, the line thats gets me is when Anakin says, 'You already have Luke'. Can't wait to see your reaction to the prequels.
I was born in 1974, so Star Wars had already arrived by the time I really knew what was going on as a tiny kid. And I was swimming in it as a young kid. Such awesome times. So many stories. We'd all be swapping figures, collecting the sticker books, reading the 'making of' stuff etc.
I remember using a rubber concertina thing and tons of papier mache etc to make my own version of the giant space worm from Empire Strikes Back (I'd blow in one end tomake it spring out of the cave). And my parents got me the awesome Ewok Village toy playset in Christmas 1983 and I loved it so much that I remember mum shouting up the stairs, eagerly trying to get me downstairs for breakfast :) I also remember being a bit perturbed that my brother swapped 18 of our cool toy figures for one unboxed Rancor Monster figure with a virtual stranger down the road.
It was all amazing. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were gifting us with rockin' blockbusters all the time. At the same time proper arcade machines had arrived so we were the first generation to be playing computer games at home of Star Wars and other favourites. Home video was just arriving too, so that also meant we could watch them over and over again.
Late to comments here, just fin'd your Ep 4, 5 & 6 reactions. They were great. So fun for us "Gen Xers" who grew up w/these movies (had the posters, lunch boxes & action figures) to see younger people now seeing / reacting to Star Wars for 1st time. Great reactions! Looking fwd u continuing your Star Wars journey w/Ep 1, 3, 3 & Rogue One. Keep watching - Keep enjoying! :)
15:08 The leader of the Rebellion is Mon Mothma. She is the woman giving the briefing. She is a very important character as you will see in other Star Wars material. Her scene in Revenge of the Sith was cut, but she does appear in Rogue One, The Clone Wars, Rebels and Ahsoka.
The fact that you got so into it that you forgot to be audible and reacting is awesome
At the time of the release of the original trilogy films, James Earl Jones portraying the iconic voice of Darth Vader would be like Morgan Freeman doing the voice today.
13:03 If you wanna know who Luke and Leia’s mom is, you should check out the Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I-III).
I don’t think the goal was to kill Darth Vader. The goal was to confront him. I suspect that, in order to become a Jedi, Luke had to confront his past demons, internal struggles, etc… including father issues.
At 17:50, this was recorded on private land adjacent to Redwoods National Park in far northern California. The area they were filming in was slated to be cut down, which is why they were able to record there....but you if you go to Redwoods, it looks just like this. 🙂
Wait until you see Star Wars episode III 😨 it’s so good it’s shocking!! it’s the best Star Wars movie in entire series.
Great reaction! Thank you!
In the episode you’ve just reacted to, you have my most favorite line of all the movies I ever watched in my entire life - “I am a Jedi, like my father before me”.
It was wise to watch them in their release order. In the next ones (1, 2 and 3) you’ll learn the story of Darth Vader … and when you’ll get to ep. 7 (The Force Awakens), some awesome surprises will wait for you there. You decided to watch a great saga, so great that it earned its own worldwide celebration day, which is May 4th, that is May the fourth - like in “may the Force (be with you)”. Looking forward to your next reaction.
Salutations from Romania …
Imagine if Vader/Anakin survived, and made it back to the Rebels with Luke. There would have been some pretty awkward moments with Leia, Han, Lando, and everyone else who suffered because of Vader.
I was 13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars in the Movie Theatre and 1 Years old in 1980 when I saw The Empire Strikes Back in the Movie Theatre, I was 19 Years old in 1983 when I saw Return of the Jedi in the Movie Theatre, Anakin Skywalker was the Jedi that returned,
Everyone in the Movie Theatre was shocked and gasped when we discovered that Princess Leia was Luke's Twin Sister. Everyone cheered in the Movie Theatre when Darth Vader turned on the Emperor, in the original version Darth Vader did not scream No before grabbing the Emperor. He just looked back and forth before grabbing the Emperor.
In the original the Force Ghost of Anakin was the older version of him portrayed by the older Actor who played Darth Vader.
This was my fav, but also I will forever think of Ewoks as Build-a-bears, so thanks for that. :D
Glad no one spoiled the bro/sis connection lmao
"The good guys dress in Black. Remember that, just in case we face to face and make contact"
R2-D2 -- The real MVP 🏆
You were correct - Luke couldn't strike down the Emperor because it would also lead him to the Dark Side. One of Yoda's lessons in _The Empire Strikes Back_ was, _"A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack."_
While it's never outright said in the franchise, I suspect the underlying message is that all life is sacred, so in extinguishing the life of your enemy, you _become_ the enemy.
Space jazz is the best jazz 👽🎷🎺🎼
I really enjoyed this. May I suggest Eddie Murphy's 48 Hrs.1 and 2. Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2. The Golden Child, Harlem Nights, Trading Places, Boomerang and Nutty Professor 1 and 2. Forrest Gump many say is a tear-jerker but so was "A TIME TO KILL" that many have not done yet.
James these are really great ideas!
Thank you for that, adding them all minus forest & time to kill because I’ve definitely seen them a few times. Especially a time to kill LOL “yea, I killed them and I hope they burn in helllllllll” (prob not the direct quote, but you get it lol )
@@WhatsTeeWatchin OKAY !!! Close enough "Yeah they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell" 😂 Can you replace that with Denzel Washington's "GLORY" "A SOLDIER STORY" "DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS" "UNSTOPPABLE" "JOHN Q." "EQUALIZER 1 and 2" If you have not seen "JOHN WICK 1,2,3,and 4" ??
That was excellent! I loved the reaction, can’t wait for episode 1!
Nice reaction. It’s funny. Fans will hopefully not leave spoilers about the Luke/Leia real relationship and let the reactor just make their predictions about the “love triangle” they spot in IV and V. Then in VI we get to see your real shocked reaction at the plot twist revelation 😂
If you wish to continue and learn Anakin/Darth Vader origin backstory then watch Episodes 1-3.
Remember that the only time Leia kissed Luke was on Hoth to shut down Han and make him jealous.
All others were just pecks.
A re-release was done in 2012 it was redone in 3d and released to theater, the podrace was definitely the highlight
Thanks for watching this trilogy. I really hope you appreciate why this is such a beloved franchise. When Star Wars first cane out in the late 70s and 80s, nothing else like it existed and even the special effects had to actually be 'created' for the first time for the movies ( I know it may look a bit out dated now, but back then, it was new and exciting!)
Can I just say, if you're gonna watch episodes #1 - 3, they have a different vibe but by the end you will really love the story even more than now. There's a lot of talk about politics in it, but my advice is, don't worry so much about the political talk, and just watch the characters cause that's really the core of what the movies are about....can't wait for you to see them! Thanks again for your reaction and keep smiling!
Loved your reaction! Subscribed 👊🏾
Dark side training is harsh and painful
39:14
That's Moss Eisley on Tatooine.
Landos Cloud City was the first place shown in the celebrations.
Originally, Leia was not going to be Luke's sister. The idea of him even having a twin was to make the audience fear that there is someone else standing by in case Luke turns to the dark side, so you feel there is a real possibility that Luke could go bad since he's expendable now.
But originally his sister was going to be a totally new and different character who would be introduced in this film, and then the next trilogy would be about her. But by 1983, Lucas was tired of making Star Wars films and he just wanted to tie up all the loose ends, so he just made Leia the other twin.
27:00 Pain. The kind of pain that you could never dream of. A special type of pain meant to cultivate your fear, anger, hatred, and other negative emotions (for that is what fuels the Dark Side of the Force) until you kill your master and take an apprentice of your own.
That was fun😊😊, thanks for sharing, enjoyed it😊😊👍✌️🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it
7:26 good 😘 7:40 my reaction to Jabba licking Leia: 🤮 8:07 no fair! 10:08-10:15 my another reaction to Leia killing Jabba is good riddance, ya filthy 🐌 Hutt. 10:22 😂 10:49 Tarzan yelling
"build-a-bear" 😂
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 in 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'/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. A little corn. Hans' reaction to Leia telling him Luke is her brother.
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 this episode.
11. This is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After this he sold it to Disney and everything changed. Sadly
The bikini Leia was wearing is called the "Princess Leia Slave Outfit", many Women have accually bought if to surprise their Man. Yes It is the outfit Ross was talking about in friends. It seems many women (Star Wars Fans) have purchased the outfit and then posted to social media wearing it. So yeah Leia wore it outfit So well that Almost 50 years later Women are still costume playing her. In an interview she said you can not imagine how hard she had to work to get in that kind of shape because she in real life as always as she said a more chunky girl next door type.
i wish you had a patreon so we could see the full reactions 😍
when darth died it brought balance to the force just as the prophecy said
tynia, i think you are the only? one besides myself to notice that Luke's clothes colors changed through the movies i had a theory that he was going to the dark side.
Unrelated - I'm proud of you
Thank you friend!!!!
4:38 lol another stream of questions like in the last one. Love it.
8:20 lol. Vegetarian
28:48 good observation. I think I read somewhere that George Lucas did that on purpose to show that Luke could still turn to the darkside. And it isn’t till here 36:42 where you see the strip of grey that you see he made his choice. Not sure if that’s true or not but it’s a cool idea.
Great reaction.
Love the vibe.. new sub here!
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the family
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 love it keep going tee
The next one should be phantom menace after this 😊
14:50 Leia is an affectionate gal. She hugs and kisses everyone.
Btw, "vader" is Dutch for father. It was in our face the whole time!!!
Fun fact: Underwear does not exist in the Star Wars universe. Therefore no Star Wars actor wore underwear during any of the filming including the scenes where Leia is wearing her famous bikini
Another fun fact: Ewoks are actually primates just like us despite superficially resembling bears
Hello thanks for the reaction, one thing I loved about what you pointed out of Luke’s outfit. How it’s all black in this episode vs the warm colours of the previous episodes. Also showing the crisis of conscience Luke having since episode 5, one thing I don’t know if you cut from the reaction or didn’t notice is, that once Luke reaffirmed his allegiance to the light side. During and after the scene of the electrocution Luke interior of his suit comes apart to reveal a white lining to his suit.
Not my favorite one but still essential viewing!
tynia, after you watch the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special on youtube, you can go back in time to Episode 1, (1999)
Going into Ep.1, keep in mind that it takes place before the Empire, so there is no emperor and no rebel alliance. There is still a democracy in the galaxy but it's on its last legs. The ruling government is the Republic which has a galactic congress made up of senators from all the member planets (though not every planet is part of the Republic). The leader of the senate is the Supreme Chancellor, kind of like the president or prime minister of the galaxy. There is no military because there's been peace for 1,000. The Jedi serve and protect the Republic but exist apart from it with its own rules and traditions. Centuries before they had defeated their ancient dark side enemies, the Dark Lords of the Sith.
By the time of Ep.1, the senate has become corrupt and ineffective, with senators open to bribery from wealthy, powerful corporations which are so influential that they even have their own senators in congress who influence the laws in their own favor. One of these corporations is the Trade Federation. They are the apparent villains of the film, but are secretly in cahoots with a familiar-looking shadowy figure pulling the strings whose existence not even the Jedi are aware of.
31:07 if the parts that contain their memory and personality are destroyed, they can't be brought back as the same droid.
Excellent reaction, one of the most intelligent I have seen with rich observations of the characters and interconnected stories. Highly recommend you see Episodes I, II, and III to see Anakin's backstory and follow up with Rogue One, as it's the prestory to Episode IV.
Glad you enjoyed it! Def will be!
Tynia. That is an Ewok. Native to the moon of Endor
the troopers have different outfits there are spider bikes troopers on the speeder bikes then there's snow troopers on Hoth planet of snow n there's storm troopers in episode 4 a new hope
Great reaction!
Glad you enjoyed
I can"t wait for you to watch/react to the prequels
I’m excited!!
first I would like to say this woman is a complete knockout in the looks department, with a great personality to boot.
Secondly, I don't like the Ewoks but I love everything else about this movie. I also love the new song at the end because the original one sounded like the theme from the care bears spoken in a weird alien language.
Dude, yub nub slaps..
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 no it doesn't. And i am not a dude, my name is Ralph and i have been watching star wars since I was in jammies. And even then i knew yub nub was the worst. I almost hate all of the special additions Mr. Lucas added to the Return of the Jedi, especially the goofy dance number at Jabba's palace. But one change that worked was the song at the end, something most hard core Star Wars fans agree on.
i've crossed over to the dark side a few times. it's a great time. just sayin' *wink wink*
It's a shame Lando never got to see Leia in her gold bikini.
That is a Scout Trooper.
16:46 James Earl Jones says something very similar to this in another movie called Coming to America.
So we just not gonna talk about how fine this woman is... Okay cool
It is prounounced as Han
You only knew the gold bikini from Friends Lmao
Sadly you miss out on two really great songs that were removed for the "enhanced" version. Look up Lapti Nek and Yub Nub. Worth a listen.
I lean towards purist in regards to the special edition changes to the original trilogy but Yub Nub is an abomination.
Queen Amidala was Luke's mother.
Thanks for the spoiler 👎
I am sorry@@fk1742
Not two moons. Twin Suns!
I always believe that Luke brought balance to the force. He didn't believe in absolutes like dark and light. He was able to control both sides of the force.
tynia, you didn't show it, but when Luke told Leia, she was sad afterwards, why ? because she knew she would have to get rid of her child(ren) because at the end of the last movie, her and luke were alone together on a spaceship and what do you think they did? and star wars is based on japanese culture and in that, incest is shamed upon. so when Yoda said in the last movie the future you could see, he said in this movie, he said there is another skywalker, i don't think he was talking about leia, i think he was talking about the future...
…and then Disney killed the franchise.
There are only six films.
#RIPStarWars
I liked the Force Awakens.
Can’t believe you are disrespecting the special effects
There were no green screens. Sigh.
old original version beter
If it was made today it would look like a video game. Too much CGI is terrible. It's relied on way to much.
That is true! I agree with that :)
That was fun to experience with you. cant wait for more.
