Fun fact: the actor who played the Emperor said the mechanism that spun his chair failed and he actually did tip toe to spin his chair in a way so it wouldn't be visible lol.
I love that Angry Birds managed to get him to voice the Pig Emperor while EA Gaming didn’t bother getting him for the newer Star Wars Battlefront games
@@zjjohnson3827 I also love how Angry Birds referenced that spinning chair fault when whey got Ian
I love Ian McDiarmid. Seems like a really wholesome person.
@@TheStarwarsian He was beyond based when he admitted his favourite scene in the series was when he told the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis, the Wise to Anakin in Episode III, especially since he interpreted the script to be that Palpatine was simply retelling the memory of him killing his own master with the energy of a child fondly recalling his first homerun in baseball.
The ironic thing is that Jedi aren't supposed to have attachments, yet Luke and Anakins' love for each other ended up saving the day. 💜
put it in one comment
@@Qoobon_Nah, I'm good.
In the extended universe, Luke goes on to change that rule in the new jedi order, saying that your attachments are what make you stronger, as it was his love for his friends that helped him defeat the empire.
I am convinced "the jedi are wrong" is a pretty consistent plot point in star wars, though it's rarely tackled directly.
(SPOILERS FOR PREQUELS? Do I need this?)
The prequels are literally about Anakin falling to the dark side because whenever he forms attachments and talks to other jedi about it they just tell him "let go bro, like chill." and it's incredibly patronising. They list off dogma rather than actually *teaching* their ways.
What love lol they barely know each other and his father cut his hand. This is psychotic
With all this talking about special editions adding CGI: the rancor and Jabba look exactly like they did in 1983. Jabba is puppeteered by at least four people, and he looks amazing
I thought it was 6…
@@brotherkhrayn3525 one of those six is the voice, and I didn't know how many puppeteers there are and whether to include the voice, so I said at least four
@8:45 IRL 3 years after the previous movie came out, the story takes place 1 year later.
It is set in the year after but It’s actually only 6 months of actual time between empire and return of the Jedi.
The Emperor it´s not short at all. But Darth Vader, fully armored and with his boots and helmet on, he stood 2.03 m, or around 6'7" tall.
@@LXW-ArtsHe finally got a high ground
The battle above the sarlacc pit was, and still is, one of my favorite Star Wars moments ever. Seeing how far Luke has come and seeing him kick ass was great! Most of the main cast had some of the spotlight really with Han and Chewie rescuing Lando and Leia choking out Jabba
The difference in luke killing vader vs killing stormtroopers is that the stormtroopers are enemy soldiers trying to kill him.
However, killing vader would've been killing an unarmed cripple out of anger and bloodlust.
Two very different circumstances, only the latter counts as dark side stuff.
Yoda: soon I will rest
Baby Yoda: I’ll rest too 😂
48:00 I’ve always thought it was more that leia always felt a connection with luke, hence why she kissed him, however it never felt right but there was something about him. Then as he tells her he’s her brother then she realises that this entire time that connection was a sibling connection and nothing romantic. Cuz you see everything making sense in her head
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.
Fun fact:
I grew up in Humboldt County, California.
That's near where they filmed the scenes on Endor. Yes, our forests look like that.
(Side note, Humboldt is also where one of the scenes in Jurassic park was filmed)
54:11 I am not sure if it is or not a fake news, but I learned that the old man on the right was a clone during the clone war.
So they changed Luke’s saber to be green because it would be easier to see in the desert and they changed the ending a few times as well
One of my core memories is seeing this movie for the first time as a kid, and that slight pause on the skif after it shows you everything is in place. Sitting there not knowing what was about to happen but complete confidence it was going to be awesome.
I dont want to spoil it but remember that the Bounty Hunter suit is very very protective. So remember that headed into "The Mandalorian" and "Book of Boba Fett". It's also mentioned in the different books set after ROTJ.
The hint was under cloud city where he 'spoke' to Leia.
just a fun fact at the end when you guys were asking why luke couldnt kill the emperor. its not because hes a good guy but that jedi cannot kill with anger running through them. Jedi mainly disarm to avoid killing but if they are essentially forced to in a form of self defense while also being able to maintain some semblance of calmness and lack of straight anger then they good to remove the threat.
My fun fact from this film is some guy confronted Carrie Fisher about the slave Leia outfit. He said something along the lines of "What am I supposed to tell my kid why she's wearing that?!" and Carrie said "Tell them that a giant slug made me wear that outfit so I killed him."
The name "Millennium Falcon" is another term for "The Phoenix". Dies once every thousand years and is reborn... in fire. The symbolism of them emerging from the flames was a nod to the name.
Im glad you all caught Vader keep looking at Luke each time we verbally sassed the Emperor, it was like concern for his son and also like Luke shut up, he probably seen the emperor vaporize others who said less , I feel though the Emperor was quite amused with Luke's spunk here, and kinda liked it.
"Is there actually a person in that thing?"
Yes, and his name is Warwick Davis.
1:12:04 Jar Jar Binks cameo! Added in the updated releases of the movie after the prequels came out.
Can you imagine how hilarious a rated-R version of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi would be?
You have the Rebellion and the Empire for three movies, killing each other with unnecessarily large explosions, and relatively humane insta-lethal laser burns that auto-cauterize so there's not a lot of blood or mess and nobody is really suffering or dying slowly, and then these cute teddy bears come in and start bashing in skulls with rocks and breaking bones with logs and shit... and pretty much nothing about the movie itself is changed except the war ends and everybody's celebrating and all of the adorable Ewoks are standing around covered in blood like Mel Gibson in The Patriot.
I think that Boba Fett is popular because of 5th episode, cos itvwas like two years between Empire and Return if the Jedi, and all thus time Boba Fett wasba mysterious faceless cold badass hunter who was smart enough to see through Han's escape trick. Enough time to build a legend around a character. Also, fun fact, his helmet is one of the earlier drafts of Vader's helmet
People forget the "gasp" Vader takes when he knew. "I stirred up a hornets nest" also Vader is holding up his arm as in mercy. Luke did turn to the dark side. You can see it. People forget little details
omg the dino nuggies for the emperor killed me
"he's definitely killed some people"
Yeah like the time he personally blew up the first Death Star. There were a couple people on board when that went up.
1:12:47 OMG Yes! A million times yes! In addition to the prequels (and eventually Clone Wars), you guys gotta react to them. XD
The Second Movie, Empire, when Luke was in trouble he used the Force to call out for Help and remember Lea heard him and was able to take them to him to rescue him. It's the part after his hand got cut off and fell down that tunnel and was hanging on the bottom of the Cloud City.
The reason Luke looks so much older is Mark Hamill was in a car accident that messed up his face pretty bad, the scarring makes him look much older.
Also, the ewok show they referred to is on disney+ now, as are the movies, they aren't great but, they have their moments. There is a show about r2 and threepio on there too.
My favorite Star Wars movie as a kid. 30 years and 6 additional movies later, still my fav. And for me the most painful to watch the special editions. I obtained a quality version of the theatrical cut I grew up with. Listen to the soundtrack regularly.
The thing about the CGI in the original trilogy, there wasn't any. Fans in the comments aren't talking about remasters and touch-ups, George Lucus had a bad habit of awkwardly inputting special effects into his old movies as soon as the technology became available, not to mention other alterations, like Han originally shooting Greedo, who didn't fire at all, or adding Young Anakin from the Pre-quel Trilogy at the end. In the first movie those CG monsters and aliens were just props and puppets like everything else, but George thought eyesore CG made his movies more 'perfect', it's damn near impossible to find the originals anymore.
You better watch, clone, wars, and rebels
Return of the Jedi is my all-time favourite film in the series. Always has been, always will be 😊
Don't ask where the ewoks got the meat for the banquet at the end...
The one change made to these movies that I fully belive was a good choice was having Hayden Christianson replace the original Anakin in the force ghost scene
I stand by that you guys should check out the Visual Effects breakdown of Star Wars done by Corrider Crew I think you guys would love it!
33:10 "Is there anything in the last two movies that would have hinted at that?" Well she is the only woman in the entire trilogy, so...
Vader wasn't kidding when he told the Commander, if anyone knew half the stuff the emporor did they say Vader is a saint by comparison
Mark Hamil was in a pretty nasty motorcycle accident between movies. That's part of why he looks different.
That's an epic laugh from blue shirt guy.
Originally Luke was going to have a completely new character as his twin sister, but when writing The Return of the Jedi that character was combined with Leia to save time I think. so in the last movie, when Luke and Leia kissed, Leia was not intended to be his sister at that time.
To Clarify Vader was on the Death star Gov Trakin gave the blow-up planet order. Vader kinda never really liked the Death Star but Palpatine did and so Vader was just there under command
Great reaction! I hope you'll not only do the "Prequel Trilogy", but will follow them up with animated shows Clone Wars (in chronological order is my suggestion) and Rebels. In my opinion (others may vary), the Prequels tell a great story, but the execution is where they fall a bit short of the originals. After a slow start (season 1), Clone Wars (an Rebels) offers some of the absolute best Star Wars content there is - and some stellar storytelling in general. I'd be here for every single one.
33:27 I remember Luke calling to Leia with the force while dangling under the cloud city. Twin powers right there.
You should find copies of the original trilogy. There are fan edits of these in their mostly original state, pieced together from various sources. It looks really good and tracks perfectly with my original VHS copies from the 80s.
It’s not that Jedi don’t kill, it’s that they’re not supposed to kill from hate and in that moment luke “overpowered” Vader with hate (the whole fight Vader held back against luke, to an extent obviously, you’ll see the difference betweeen trying to kill vader/anakin vs holding back Vader/anakin)
super excited for the day they start Clone Wars just so I can have an excuse to start watching it all over again!!!!
The battle is one of my favorite in space!
10:45 This whole song was different in the original version. Different visuals and different song altogether. 22:38 There was a planned Boba Fett battle, but time wouldn’t allow… eh, they trimmed it.
THEY DIDN'T MAKE OUT! THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT KISS WAS! I actually had hope that you wouldn't fall into the same trap everyone else does because you called it in the moment. She did that just to stick it to Han. Also, Luke and Leia felt a connection to each other but didn't know what it was. Once Luke explained that they're siblings, she finally understood, which is why she said "somehow I've always known." She wasn't being literal there, she meant that the thing between them finally made sense to her. Remember, she's a Skywalker too. She, too, is strong in the force, which is yet another thing she couldn't have known about herself. And Luke never really had a crush on Leia. He thought she was beautiful and bristled at the idea of her being with Han in the first movie, but that screams "big brother energy" to me. He never wanted to be with her, but still felt connected to her in a way he couldn't explain. Anyway, I'm sticking around for the prequel reactions for sure. I just hope it doesn't turn into another roast. Also, put the toys away, they're distracting you and you're missing stuff.
We have fun here, this may not be the channel for you
54:26 yesss, please put it on the channel! Indiana Jones was soo good ❤❤
The reason Boba Fett got so many diehard fans at first was a direct result of the infamous made-for-tv Star Wars Holiday Special.
It came out before Empire and gave people their first introduction to badass bounty hunter Boba Fett.
After people caught a glimpse of him in Empire you can imagine how excited everyone was to see how integral he was going to be in RotJ.
Needless to say lots of people were so pissed.
Please react to the Holiday Special. It is AWFUL and I love watching people endure it.
@Ruff no there isn't any breadcrumbs to it because my understanding was George told Carrie and Mark that he was going to do something crazy with their characters this movie and then Carrie was like "Okay as long as we're not brother and sister." and then when she saw the script she was just like >< lol.
I hope you guys will also take Ruff thru the Clone Wars as well 🤞🤞 (in chronological order)
It would be their first watch too. Boom and See-Oh-Knee haven't watched it either, so here's praying. 🙏
Boba Fett is the definition of "looks over substance"
Yes there was a hint. When he called out to her and she heard and felt him at the end of rhe 2nd one.
And the crish ended in the first one. Luke's mind was on revenge not Leia
IT’S A TRAP 57:21
You guys gotta watch Star Wars, The Old Republic Trailers
its rare that some people remember the Ewoks TV movies and the cartoon. I remember the two movies. never saw the cartoon.
No, dude. There are no post credit scenes in Star Wars. Put the remote down.😂😂
I think Ruff will love the Prequels. At least 2 and 3
You do know there's a series called book of Boba Fett right it takes place right after this so don't worry Boba still alive
You so need to see the Family Guy Star Wars Special now
Thankfully, this guy realized how ridiculous the Boba Fett famous is. Dude isn’t even good enough to be considered a side character and people act like he’s one of the best characters. Literally said like 10 words and had three minutes of screen time and died..
I felt personally attacked by that short person hate campaign towards the end, can't even swing my feet off my chair and eat dino nugs in peace anymore ! 😂
Technically, Tarkin blew up the planet, not Vader.
the robot chicken star wars specials are great
in my head cannon R2D2 is force sensitive, possibly a jedi master....
Heads up... this is a TLDR post... but its for @SortaStupid and my opinion only... but differing intelligent opinions of SW (not of me, you dont know me) encouraged...
I actually did NOT know they updated the cgi twice more.
I only knew about the 1997 20th Anniversary re-release Special Edition update that I'm assuming the other updates were based on...because they look the same to me when i watch it on D+.
Frankly though I'll always be partial to the original pre-cgi versions. If something is good then dont eff with it.
The PREQUELS were crapped on but actually were okay... the problem with them was that they told a very wooden story with very wooden dialog and tried to inject humor in places that didnt make any sense (at least to me).
The story itself is necessary but as dry as a C-Span report. And the dialog was imo unbelievable. And the fan service easter egg origin bits were so horribly misplaced.... there for the sake of being there not because it made sense for it to be there (1 particular individual for certain). Very fan fiction by an unimaginative writer kind of feel... and we know Lucas is better than that.
But after some time the Prequels at least make sense and the underlying story of WHY things turned out the way they did... it was simultaneously in your face and subtle... nobody outright calls it for what it is, and we were so used to a space ADVENTURE... the Prequels were a different tone altogether.
But i feel Lucas relied too heavily on the cgi to wow the audience and made the nuances of the story roo sybtle and hidden under incomprehensible dialog. It made very skilled actors seem dull and that was its biggest sin imo.
The SEQUELS relied on a proper mix of cgi and practical effects... but the story changed direction so often for no discernable reason that it just left us confused why we wasted the ticket money. There was so much filler and SO much wasted potential on character arcs that were hinted at but never happened... so much of 1 writer cancelling out the previous writer and vice versa... heros who were never built up to be such in the way Luke and Han were...and then culminated in 2 ultimate sins of lazy storytelling.
It was a fine fun spectacle if you disenage your brain (after taking 2 decades to learn to be more discerning and scholary in rewatching the prequels). The Sequels felt like a giant F YOU from Disney after taking over the IP. But it left us wanting. Solo was more of the same. The streaming series started out fine with Mandalorian season 1 but then devolved into more of the same... i dunno what the F they were trying to accomplishbl in the Obi-Wan series. And (imo) the MUCH hoped for Ahsoka series just didnt deliver either, despite Rosario Dawson and Lars Mikkelsen being in it (Lars at least to me FELT like the Thrawn from the Timothy Zahn books... which is the best Thrawn imo).
The only post Prequels movie that had a lick of intelligent storytelling was Rogue One... and fans were mixed on the spin off series Andor (season 1)... i personally LOVED the new POV in the Star Wars realm... some felt it just wasnt Star Wars without Force-and-Lightasbers... like watching a Fairy Tale with no magic elves in it.
So yeah... we collectively say we're done but we're like a gambler on a losing streak.
54:29 well it is the same actor
The best special editions change will always be the victory celebration theme. It’s so so good and I love it
please play the ewok hunt mode on battlefront two on the gaming channel. I promise it's the best blend of starwars and teddy bear horror.
A little non spoiler trivia for yall, the forest moon of Endor was filmed in the Redwood along the West coast and the actor who played Chewbacca had to have security with him so people in the area wouldn't mistake him for bigfoot
That’s hilarious
I believe it was asked him not to wander off too far to then be mistaken for bigfoot.
The main hint that Luke and Leia were connected was when she sensed him in the last movie at the end/knew where he was, implying she is force sensitive.
It was always strange how at such a young age, she is such a good leader and a fantastic shot.
The wild thing is that George Lucas didn't even originally plan for them to be related, but when he decided to conclude the original trilogy with this movie, he decided to make Leia the "another" whom Yoda mentioned in the previous movie
@@wikiuser92 Yup, it's not originally planned. iirc.
@@MichaelJohnson-vi6eh Considering who Leia's adopted father is and what he knows, it makes sense she got plenty of training for this sort of thing when she was young.
@@wikiuser92 yeah originally it would be a new character but he realised it was too late into it to bring a whole new person
Boba Fett is a perfect example of how character design can be SO IMPORTANT to a character.
Five lines and a badass costume made Boba Fett the fourth or fifth most popular character in this entire trilogy, which meant he was the fourth or fifth most popular Star Wars character for decades.
Boba fett also got a bunch of EU content
people realyl just forgetting the supreme competency he displayed in empire, huh?
It's so iconic it not only spawned two TV shows, but an entire race of warriors with jetpacks and helmets
@@SpiralSine6Boba Fett is to the OT what Maul was to the prequels
"I'll not leave you here. I've got to save you!"
"You already have, Luke"
That gets me every time. You can tell Anakin legitimately cared about Luke and wanted what he thought was best for him, and in the end, he finally did.
I love that scene.
I shed a tear every time.
Such a tragic but satisfying end.
Just an incredible moment.
For me it's "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." That gets me every time and is maybe my favorite line in the whole franchise. It just carries so much weight when you know Anakin's full story.
“Haha, the Emperor is a short king!”
We all just gonna forget Vader is like 6’10”?
6’8 I’m pretty sure but yes point stands Vader’s tall.
"He never killed anyone this entire series."
EVERYONE ON THE DEATHSTAR - Am I a joke to you?
Yeah. And the like 20 people he cut down with his lightsaber on Jabbas place THIS VERY MOVIE.
I know most if not everyone except tarkin on the first death started evacuating half way through the battle of yavin and although we don't see it, the torpedo canonical took much longer to reach the core. I'm not sure about the death star II though but with how cowardly most of the Empire is, they probably started evacuating when the super star destroyer crashed into the death star or when the shield went down. So not that many people died in the death stars as most people think
the death star was a valid military target
Never forget
@@leoconto1043 that sounds entirely like a retcon
Fun fact: Harrison Ford originally wanted Han Solo to die in a self sacrifice in this movie, but George Lucas rejected the idea
Because of moychandising.
That would explain why he kinda hates the character
He wanted him to die in Empire strikes back too that’s why he’s frozen
@@calumzmemez5075He doesn't see Han as the kind of person people should be looking up to, that's why he likes Indiana Jones more, he is a better role model.
That's also why **SPOILERS**
when he returned for Force Awakens, he said he would only do it if Han finally died.
Basically it's the armor and suit he's wearing that keeps him alive. The suit is like a respirator for him, but also a prison that the Emperor put him in to keep him in line in case he thought of killing him.
But taking the mask off won't kill him right away. He was already dying anyway because the Emperor's lightning short circuited his suit. But he doesn't care. He wanted to die because he wants to be free from his suffering and the suit that the Emperor used to imprison him in.
The Emperor doesn’t actually need the suit to be vulnerable to Force Lightning in order to kill Vader. Palpatine has proved time and time again throughout canon that he can kill Vader with a mere wave of his hand.
Love Ruff’s realization the Bobba Fett’s popularity is ALL vibes lol dude just looked cool. That’s it lol
I'm convinced the Ewoks weren't just minding their business. They were planning to attack the Empire before the Rebels even showed up. No way they set up all those traps overnight. Like you said, Ewoks are always plotting.
Those traps weren't made for the Empire and there is a reason they live way up in the trees. Nighttime on Endor is not a place you want to be stranded...
Those traps were probably for animals. I doubt any imperial would touch the meat
@@Nerveroxis Nighttime on Endor being scary is why they know how to make such traps. Fighting the Empire is why they built all those traps right around the back entrance to the base.
yeah, the stormtroops/scout troopers were probably out on patrol for ewok raiding parties, not looking for rebels.
@@bryanmoberg8408 To be fair - the Empire did know the Rebels were coming. Everything was proceeding as the emperor had foreseen after all.
Interesting fact: This movie was originally titled "Revenge of the Jedi". However, the title was changed when George Lucas decided that revenge was not the Jedi way. There is still some products out there with 'Revenge of the Jedi' on them. Some fans of a certain storage auction show may remember a jacket with the title on the back.
I heard that jacket, among other items, were planted in fan favorite Barry's storage locker...
Mythbusters did a Star Wars special where they tested the logs impacting the AT-ST with a modern armored vehicle and those logs crushed the hell out of it.
Another note, one of the Star Wars Battlefront games has an infection game mode where you play as Stormtroopers at night on Endor trying to escape as a bunch of Ewoks pick you off.
I wonder if thats what started 5 nights at freddies?
33:41 well maybe he DID feel it before he kissed her he just didn't understand what it was. They felt some level of connection and never thought it could be familial so they took it as attraction. This is actually something that can happen in real life when siblings are separated at birth
Unfortunately, there are real cases of siblings being adopted by different families, and then meeting later in life as adults, getting married, and having children, only later discovering the truth. And the truth usually comes out by pure happenstance; in one instance, it was the medical emergency of one of their children, after the DNA of both parents was tested to see which one was a closer match for donation.
It's just a really sad and unfortunate thing all around.
@@HickoryDickory86 The real-life effect that prevents physical attraction between genetically similar individuals (which normally would be attracted to each other but it is bad for siblings) is the Westermarck effect. Basically children that grow up together from the ages of 0 to 7 think of each other as siblings (even when they are not) and never form romantic relationships. For most siblings, this is normal and useful to prevent incest.
For siblings separated soon after birth that end up meeting later in life, they can be strongly attracted to each other.
"Return of the Jedi" isn't referring to just Luke, it was also referring to Anakin coming back to the light side. 💜
put it in one comment
@Qoobon_ Nah, I'm good
Ahh, mimic. I understand the joke, though Q Without a U up there may not.
It wasn't referring to Luke at all. While people can make the personal interpretation it did, It was exclusively referring to Anakin coming back to the light.
@@kamixakadio2441it wasn't referring to Anakin, it was referring to return of the Jedi Order and Luke being a Jedi. It wasn't about Anakin
In fact originally movie was called Revenge of the Jedi but then Lucas thought that word Revenge doesn't sit right with Jedi beliefs so he changed it. "True Jedi does not seek revenge" he said
One of my favorite details, and one I didn't really notice when I first watched this, is that we literally get to hear Darth Vader take his last breath. His mask is damaged and the breathing doesn't sound right after getting blasted by the Emperor's lightning but, just before Luke takes off the front of the mask to see his father's face, you can hear the normal sound of Vader's breathing as he takes a breath in, but the mask is fully removed before he lets it out.
The moment the mask was removed, Darth Vader died, and Anakin Skywalker lived once more.
Fun fact: The genre of music at Jabbas Palace and at the bar is called, no joke, "Jizz".
The thing about the updated CGI is you can tell the shots that are CGI. If you're looking at it and think "this is good CGI" that was actually a model, a guy in a suit or a matte painting.
Fun fact: the actor who played anakin skywalker (force ghost) in the original 1984 version was Sebastian Shaw. This is the 2011 version with Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker.
I think it was a good change, because George Lucas once said that when Anakin became known as Darth Vader in episode 3, metaphorically speaking, Anakin died. But once Darth Vader decides to sacrifice himself and fulfill the prophecy of the chosen one, his force ghost had the appearance of Anakin from episode 3, since that was the last time we saw him that way. (In addition, they also made the change to connect the original trilogy a little more with the prequels)
I believe the "beak/mouth" of the sarlac pit was also added later
@@leoconto1043 yeah if I remember correctly from the original scenes, it was a deep pit with tentacles.
I feel there's something inherently shitty about editing people out of these iconic movies, both this and the redubbing of Boba Fett. These guys were part of a massive piece of cinema history and you've cut them out for brand consistency.
Yes. The original version had Sebastian Shaw as the Force Ghost. Lucas added in Hayden Christiansen some time after the Prequels came out.
There was ONE sign that Leia was something special. And ONLY one.
When Luke was hanging by his one remaining hand from the bottom of the Cloud City on Bespin, he reached out to Ben with the Force and heard nothing. He reached out to Yoda with the Force and heard nothing. And he finally reached out to Leia with the Force, and Leia heard & answered him.
It is the ONLY plot point where Leia betrayed Force sensitivity, and a connection with her Twin.
Eh, more like he asked two dead people then a live person. Due to him not trying other live people that is hardly a sign. Now had he tried like Chewy after trying Ben and then tried her maybe that would hold water but he tried two dead people then one of three live people he was close to. Han never would have answered due to the carbonite and we have no way of knowing if Chewy would have been able to pick it up.
You have to remember at the time the entire idea of "force sensitivity" didn't exist yet so the answer to the question "was there any indication in the previous movies" is a resounding no. Now you can use meta knowledge people that have no exposure to Star Wars don't have but if the only exposure you have is memes and the first two original movies, there is no logical connection.
Wait, just one? Wasn't Yoda saying, "no, there is another" after Kenobi said, "that boy is our only hope" another sign?
@@geekgamer5622 Yeah but WHO that is, there isn't really any clue and even then it doesn't mean they are related even if you do somehow make that leap in logic.
@@ShiningDarknes The "other" was going to be a completely new character introduced in the last movie. Just before starting it, Lucas realized he couldn't fit all that content in (introduction, backstory, bonding) so he just made Leia "the other". Whether that "other" was going to be Luke's twin all along I don't know. That also forced some awkward writing (IMO) into the prequels.
I love the rancor trainer in Jabba's palace. His name is Malakili, and he was a slave in charge of taking care of Jabba's creatures, and regularly treated the rancors wounds after it was made to kill Jabba's enemies. They grew close and fond of one another until one day, the rancor (named Pateesa) saved Malakili's life from a Tusken Raider attack. After that, Malakili decided he would escape Jabba's palace and bring Pateesa with him.
Then the events of this movie happened, Pateesa was killed by Luke and Malakili was left empty and purposeless. Eventually he left the abandoned palace to go to the Saarlac Pit, where he decided he would either tame it or, if he failed, throw himself into it. Unfortunately, after the battle, Jawa's had dug up the sand around the Saarlac and slit its stomach open, scavenging weapons and equipment. Upon seeing the poor creature, unable to defend itself and unable to eat, without a purpose, he wept.
After wandering a while, he found new friends. Settled down, began working as a teacher for a baby Hutt and opened a restaurant with the old head chef from Jabba's palace. I'm glad he got a happy ending, still heartbroken about Pateesa. Never Forget.
Where did this happen? Were there books I missed?
I'm glad none of this was in the movie.
@@cjnewman7550 There's a few books. The Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, a short story called The Plan (featured in an anthology book called From a Certain Point Of View: Return Of The Jedi,)
Most prominent appearance is in the Aftermath trilogy though, the first book being released in 2016. Malikili shows up in the second and third book.
@@billbill6094 Well yeah the movies not about him lmao.
It's Star Wars, pretty much every character with over a second of screen time has an in depth backstory across various books and encyclopedias.
Boba Fett is a prominent example. That singer with the super long lips in Jabbas palace had an affair with Jabbas uncle and murdered him on Jabbas orders. The cackling lizard guy stowed away on Jabbas ship once and is now his jester, allowed to do whatever he wants basically; he even pissed of Vader once and lived to tell the tale.
I mean... Fair, but Pateesa _did_ eat people so I'm not gonna feel too bad.
0:39 Boom- "Usually when I tap the head it's a warning..."
😂 Man thought he'd slide that in and no one would notice.
Omg I thought he was talking about like bopping your pet as a warning. That is amazing 😂😂😂
Was just about to comment the same thing and the movie hasn't even started yet 💀💀 We see you Boom👀
Fun fact: Return of the Jedi was added to the National Film Registry in 2021. It was also 1 of 2 of my nominations that made it in that year (the other being 1997's Selena).
Honestly A New Hope and Empire definitely deserved it, but……..
I don’t think Return of the Jedi is on the same caliber.
I wonder if the phantom menace will get added
@@MediaLoverChris02why not??
@@jacktheflash8478 Dear god I hope not.
Well, you guys kinda have to watch Clone Wars before Mandalorian. But it isn’t more than Adventure Time.
And it’s well worth the watch
@@b3yourself91 And they would love HIM coming back
Both Clone Wars and Rebels, yeah.
Nah, you will not be confused if you haven't watched Clone Wars, it's a self contained story that is fine if you just fall back on knowing the originals and prequels.
@@billbill6094 SPOILERS
Some characters from both series appear in The Mandalorian, IIRC.
A note: Warwick Davis got his start as a kid in this movie, playing Wicket.
The reason Leia wasn't originally hinted to be Luke's sister, and why they had a love triangle at first, is because she wasn't originally planned to be his sister at all. There was going to be another woman that should show up and be the sister, but for reasons I don't recall, they deemed it better to rewrite the idea and retroactively make Leia the sister instead.
I think it's rooted in this writing tip: "Two similar characters serve two multitaskable roles? Consider combining them".
Too much content to cram in to introduce a new character like that with all the other story to cover. Same reason why in The Incredibles we only see Elastigirl's pilot in the photo. They were going to introduce him, have him do the flying, and die to show the stakes, but it was too much content for the time available. So she flew.
Ian McDiarmid owning the role of the Emperor and going from 'classically trained shakespearean stage actor' to 'attending sci-fi cons because everyone loves this evil lightning guy' is great.
He still. Voices The Emperor in animated stuff.
I'm not sure if anyone told you this or y'all already knew but Mark Hamill also voiced Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar! 🤩
Luke, Joker, Ozai, Eraqus, what else?
@@beanik835 the trickster in I think it’s justice league unlimited, also in the original flash series and the flash that aired on the CW a few years ago.
