No.. I will never fogive Disney for the sequels! I loved this episode though, thank you Favreau! Luke is Luke and not some hermite drinking green milk...
@@Ragnarswe we aren’t talking about Disney, we’re talking Star Wars. As far as we’re concerned, John and Dave are not a part of Disney they’re a part of Star Wars, and they are (with an amazing cast and set of directors) saving the reputation of the name. If Disney stays out and let’s them do what they want, I think we’ll be ok.
Watching it live I didn’t like the music or the CGI. Watching it back the CGI is actually ok and I love the music, the Grogu / Mando theme is beautiful. A stunning 10 minutes that I’ve been waiting over 35 years for.
To me this episode retconned Luke Skywalker for one it showed Luke to be the Bad ass we always wanted to see and in his message to Din about protecting Grogu with his life . Could set up why Luke was so broken after the loss of his students. He may have promised their parent's or guardians the same promise he made to Din . Not being able to keep that promise is enough to break any man
Luke has been retconned in my opinion . Not only did we get to see him as a bad ass. His promise to Din about protecting Grogu. Could be part of the reason when his temple was destroyed and students murdered by kylo . And just wanted to disappear and die on achto. He promised all the parents or guardians of each of his students the same thing he promised Din. That's enogh to break any man even Luke
This episode was like finding out that Santa actually does exist and he's just brought the gift you wanted when you were a kid. It was that emotional. This is the only time I can remember that so many have cried in pure joy... for a tv show to have such an effect on so many... They have truly achieved the rank of master.
That's a great comment. I've been sitting here trying to figure out why it's so emotional. The tender moment between Grogu and Din should have been the tearjerker, not the arrival and few minutes of screen time of Luke, but yet here we are, balling again watching this for the 4th time. We've never seen Jedi Master Luke in his prime. Amazing. Perfect.
@@GatorShawn I´ll watch it now the 3rd time in 5min......my gaming Squad asked to help but I just said that this is not possible 2day BC I`m so screwed @ too much for on day, with the Book of Boba as well, that I would be no use in a fight........
Name one, only one! good EU book. Like realy good piece of literature... I don't think there is one. Yes, as young fan i've read tons of fanfiction and EU books, but they all seems quite cheesy nowadays. And not in a good way like original SW movies I love.
@@yeniczek What do you consider a "really good" piece of literature? War And Peace? Animal Farm? Hamlet? If so, no, none of them are on that level. But they're still worth it if, unlike you, you don't already dislike them. I like them all to a certain degree, except for Splinter Of The Mind's Eye, which I'm happy to ignore. My own favourites would be those featuring Kyle Katarn and I place a lot of value in the Junior and Young Jedi Knights series', for kids.
My reaction was exactly the same brother. The catharsis I experienced seeing Luke properly portrayed in his prime was so powerful time stood still and I wept. Millions of star wars fans were made very happy last night, let us enjoy it together.
I cried when I heard about it. I cried when I watched it twice on a row. I even cried when I watched the fan reactions... This really hit me deep. Been a SW fan 40+ years.
I’m with you, 50 years old my daughter begged me to watch it. I wanted to wait, finally did now she want to watch everything with me🤣. Thank you Dave, John.
As a 2 year old i saw Starwars in 1977. Life long Star wars fan . I am eternally grateful to Dave Filoni and Jon Fauvareau. They should of been in control for the sequel trilogy . It would of been awesome with them at control
@@mattclovdahl5247 I was 7 and can remember small things about seeing it with my brother and mother. This episode made me feel like that kid again, wide eyed and hopeful.
I'm in my 50's and saw all three original films in the theater. The last 3 films do not exist . This here is the Luke Skywalker I will always remember.
LOL...me too...I started screaming as soon as I saw the X-wing...then my wife woke up and "kindly" reminded me my kid was still sleeping...she looked at me like : "What's wrong with you?...You're 43, get over it"...but nah! I'm good...
When I was a kid, my dad would rent A New Hope and Empire every weekend and we'd watch them on the old VCR (it was the early 90s) through the whole weekend. We did this enough times until the shop owner just gave my dad the original trilogy. That feeling of wonder and excitement was something that disappeared after my died passed away. The prequel trilogy didn't have that magic nor the sequel trilogy. Seeing this singular episode was something special for me. I sat at the edge of my seat hunched forward and excitedly consuming every second of this series. I felt things I hadn't felt since I was on the couch with my pops watching the original trilogy. Jon Favreau gave me something I didn't even know that I wanted so badly.
@@felldoh9271 haha thanks man. It just goes to show that some things mean a lot to some people whether they're fictional characters or whatever. I can't put into words the gratitude I have for what we got in the season finale of Mando. Bad cgi or not, it was still amazing.
For a lot of us, Star Wars, was a bonding experience with our dad. Specially being a woman, for me (as the oldest kid in the house), was very important. My dad is a very quiet and reserved man and Star Wars was our moment. Years after, I get to have the same moment, with my brother, who was much more younger than I and who can't conect like I do with my dad. So, I introduce him to Star Wars, and there was another hardcore fan. With The Mandalorian, we both get to do the same, with my nephews. Three generations crazy about it. So, I totally feel this reactor at seeing Luke (he was a lot of more calm than I, who screamed my pulmons out 🤣).
@@rominamartinez5544 right on! I'm glad you and your pops were able to have that experience. I know it can't always be easy for a dad to bond with a daughter because of the gender divide we have created as a society BUT that is another conversation entirely lol storytelling in any medium has always been a bridge for people whether it's a father and daughter or two tribes trying to barter for food and land. Storytelling connects us and to hear some executive who is completely out of touch say that it's out of place to be emotional about a story or character is obviously out of touch.
This reaction is why most fans didn't like the treatment of Luke in the sequel movies, we all wait decades to see Jedi master Luke! What we got was grumpy old man Luke and we were all heart broken! when we got the Luke we wanted we all cried!
the idea of making Luke lose faith int he force is a bold idea for a sequel Luke..the problem was the execution of it, it came off as lazy and SUPER CAMPY! A better way of making Luke lose faith in the force is maybe, han and leia suspect Ben is turning to the darkside, but Luke having turned Darth Vader to the light arrogantly trusts in the force, this time it doesnt pay off and ben is sdeuced by the darkside, making Luke lose his way and severs his connection to both the trust of his friends, family and the force making him go to exile but NOPE, instead his reason is "NEPHEW MIGHT BE EVIL...MUST..KILL..NEPHEW IN..HIS..SLEEEP!" "MUST...DRINK..ALIEN..TITTY"
The reactions to this just goes to prove the people who say the OT fans aren't happy with anything new isn't true, and not an excuse they can use anymore for their shitty movies. When its done _right_ you get a hundred reaction videos of grown adults so happy they're crying
it made me cry as well, it took me to my childhood when my father was still alive :( we watched starwars togther and he loved Luke.. and to see him like this agian i remeberd the dayes i had with my father :.( love u dad rest in peace
My father also died some years ago and he was a huge Star Wars fan! His favorite characters were the old wise characters like Yoda and Obi-Wan, but he also liked Vader and Luke a lot. He got me into Star Wars and I wish he could see this! Right now I'm all alone, but I really hope they have Disney Plus in heaven so our fathers can watch it together! :) God, I still tear up at the force ghost scene in Episode 6, it was by far the favorite scene of my father. When I watched Star Wars alone (I watched it almost every day as a kid :D) I just had to cry "Daaad!" and he knew what was up, or he recognized the Victory Celebration music and came over to watch the ghost scene with me haha :/
My Pop took me to see Star Wars in 77...we stood in line for hours talking about what we were about to share. When my Pops got super sick, the night before he passed, he got up really late for him, asked me to put Star Wars on. We shared that one last time together. Seeing Luke, the real Luke, again brought me my Pop back again. I haven't cried tears like this in a long long time. My Pop is smiling.
(see's X-Wing) - "no way", (Green Lightsaber) - "it couldn't", (right hand glove) - "oh heck", they masterfully teased and built up the reveal in what felt like eternity. This last episode was like a christmas miracle. all the turmoil of 2020 and on the final stretch, this. There's hope again.
@@nowistimeforfightingyouson3325 - Nah, I knew when I saw the green saber blade. 😲😃😍 I saw the X-Wing, but we've seen X-Wings in the other episodes also so I was not excited...but then the fight down the hallway I perked up. 👀 When I saw the green saber blade, there was no doubt who's lightsaber that was...Yah hooo! 😄👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Now, this is a finale that ROCKS! 💝
2nd time in my life I shed a tear during a film/show. First being at the end of Return of the King. I may have teared up at the end twin sun set at the end of ROTS, but I dont recall.
This tapped into something deep in our childhood memories. It made me feel like a 9 year old watching Star Wars for the first time again. That kind of feeling comes rarely to adults.
This truly did get you in the right places. It made me shed a tear and gave me goosebumps all the way through. This is what we have been waiting for what it should have been. Just think what they could do with a film 😢😭✌️
But Disney give Jon and Dave the controll and the MONEY - at the end, Disney is the Moneymaker and without money and all the stuff ....The Mandalorian dont exist.
I bawled like a baby when he lifted his hood. I've been waiting 40 years for this powerful moment with Like Skywalker. Even since I was 12 years old. Thanks Filoni and Favreau for the memories.
Everyone has been summing it up perfectly. This is literally all we ever wanted. To see this version of Luke. Finally to see it, was beyond satisfying.
Please, true Star Wars fans, THANK Filoni and Favreau. We've waited 40 years for this moment. We endured the destruction and shaming of Luke in TLJ, knowing, above all, that Luke is a TRUE hero, a man of virtue and kindness and faith. Luke does NOT give up or give in. In spite of all, even Yoda and Kenobi telling him it was impossible, Luke overcame the Emperor to bring Anakin back. Luke IS the Light side of the Force; in spite of his power. The Mandalorian understands this. The danger was corruption, temptation from power. Luke has overcome this. He can use Force powers most are not able to resist because he is PURE. We can quibble all we want, but this was beautiful and fitting. I'm still in shock. THANK YOU! And, to me, Din IS the embodiment of the Mandalorian ethos. He is young and naive in his journey, but he is a man of honor, a true warrior. He should not be shamed or "replaced" with Fett as many say [I love Fett returning to his roots in the extra-credits scene]. Mando is a special character and I appreciate the show and what he brings just as much as the redemption of Luke. I'm so f*cking happy.
Agree on all points. Luke represents the purest form of the light side of the force. From the time he was a kid on Tatooine and until this moment in Mandalorian, he was a kind hearted, selfless person who always put his family, friends, and mission above himself. Like you said, he never gave up or gave into despair. He believed there was good in every person, no matter their past. And that no one was lost forever. That's the Luke I know and love from the OT and in Mandalorian. I, too, hope Din stays on as the main character for season 3. After all, he made a promise that he will see Grogu again. He will not break that promise.
I agree with you on almost all points and I certainly am no fan of TLJ....... however one of the few things that does ring slightly true to me is the old Luke we saw in TLJ. My experience in life has been that no matter how awesome a person is in their prime, age ruins everyone in the end. Show me a single person in elderly years that isn't in some way or another a pale shadow of their younger selves. It's just reality, Luke in his 60s is just (at least realistically) not going to be the rock of confidence and control that he was in his prime starting around RotJ and the following years. No doubt that Luke in his prime would never go into hiding and be bitter. Middle age crisis is a real thing that most men go through. To see an elderly Luke with no flaws as if he's in his prime would have felt like a comic book character......however as I said even though Luke wasn't a problem for me in TLJ.....I hated so much other stuff in that movie anyways
Exactly! Kylo Ren was not 1/10th the bad ass that Anakin was and he saved the baddest man in the galaxy. He faced all obstacles and was triumphant. Enough with the sequels, I'm just too happy to get a proper, true picture of one of the best heroes in cinema history. Thank you Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and all the directors and storytellers who brought back Luke in proper fashion. Awesome!
Ruin Johnson has earned that name. As you mentioned Luke never gave up on his father even as he was dying. Years later Luke senses that his nephew might turn to the dark side so he tries to murder him in his sleep. As far as I'm concerned episodes 7-9 are bad fan fiction and don't exist.
Bro 40 years old, married, 2 kids, and I was shedding tears of joy when I saw this! Just awesome to see Jedi Master Luke! Felt like I was a kid again. 😢😅
I keep telling my friends "I cried at last night's episode" None of my friends have seen it yet. Every single one of them is like "DID MANDO DIE!??!" I'm like "No, I cried of happiness"
I cried too. Im 34m and have a baby boy the same "age" / size as baby Yoda. I even call him baby Yoda, as he was born just as we began to watch the show, when season 2 came out. I really felt for Mando, as he gave his "son" away. It hit me so hard - the tears were pouring.
@@joren2226 that's why he typed "age". Because obviously Baby Yoda despite his age he's still a little one for his species. If a Butterfly could think like us, then a 14 day new-born is an ancient being doubling the life expectancy of an average butterfly. It's all about perspectives.
I’m 50 years old and this made me feel like a kid when I first saw Star Wars! So many fans of all ages wow what respect for shared love of the story may it continue❣️
Everyone cried at the same part, including me!! 😭 when I saw that green lightsaber I balled my eyes out! Even more so when Mando took his helmet off for Grogu!!
I was not optimistic at all when this show started. I figured the mouse had killed off the thing I loved as a child so much. That my last memory of seeing Luke was the abomination in the 2nd mouse film. But Friday night as I sat with my daughter, it was 1983 again. For a few minutes, I shared a child like wonder with my kid, taking in every scene, holding back tears. For a time Friday night, there was no mouse, no new trilogy, no fighting, arguing, nothing. There was Star Wars. Nothing more. That thing that has captured our imaginations and hearts for 4 decades. That bounded total strangers, broke language and culture barriers. Don’t know where it goes from here, but we had Friday night
You meant to say " Thank you Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau " Since they announced in 2012 that we were getting new Star Wars films, this is what I was hoping for. Since I was a kid I wanted to see prime Luke, the guy that George said was the most powerful Jedi of all time. I'm thankful we got him here in this episode.
@@aires425 She just green lighted the project. She has NO creative input and thank God. The Disney Trilogy turned out the way it did because she had creative input. She's a producer, not a creative. She should know her role, and never touch Star Wars ever again in a creative capacity.
@@supersmashhead5663 she’s also the main reason why we have a show like the Mandalorian. If anything, the sequels falls into the direction and writing. Kathleen is the one who gave us more content. So yeah, she should be thanked. Cause without her, we wouldn’t have this in the first place. It’s common sense.
@@supersmashhead5663 not to mention she’s the reason why we had clone wars final season, Hayden returning as Vader/Anakin, Ewan returning as Obi-wan in his own show, ahsoka getting her own show, and a lot more. She didn’t ruin Star Wars like people claim they did, if anything, it’s the fanbase who did by complaining about things that doesn’t fit their own narrative.
The thing that kills me about all this is that This Luke should have happened in theaters so we could ALL enjoy this together .....But I will take what I can get at this point.
1000% agree. This is the Luke we all wanted when Disney bought Lucasfilm. I'm so happy, I will say nothing further, I'm going to rewatch in a few hours.
That's exactly how I felt. After the episode ended I was in awe, followed by sadness of the realization of how much more of an impact it would have been to be in a theater with fans and hear the crowd gasp as they see the xwing and then cheer when Luke reveals his face.
I'm 48 yr old Grandfather, I saw "A New Hope" "Empire Strikes Back" & "Return Of The Jedi" In theaters with my older brother, had all the toys, t-shirts & bed sheets/curtains in the 80's, This hit me in my feels pretty hard, I cried too. Thank You So Much Disney, "this will begin to make things right again."
To make things right again? They ruined star wars already and now word is they want ALL future star wars projects to feature women or minorities lead characters only, all white men bad. Yeah... Sounds like Star Wars is in good hands
'76 model here. Star Wars was one of the few things my mother and I had in common. She passed a few years ago and watching that scene just tore me up. I wish she had been here to see it too.
I feel you bro. I grew up without a big brother... in my mind, Luke was. To see him treated right, finaly, brought tears to my eyes as well..... like seeing a lost family member again. This is more than Fiction. For some of us raised on it, this is our CULTURE.
@@MRSICKLATER I felt a great celebration in the force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in joy and would never again be silenced. I fear something wonderful has happened!
@@Pomoscorzo Still need training even for that. Just not as much. Instinctive use of the force, for light and dark without training, has been shown in OT and PT to be heightened awareness and reaction times increasing. Not mind tricks and sabre fighting.
I cried too pal!!! I'm 45 years old and I was crying my eyes out at 7am Friday morning...my brother was like are you serious, and I was like yeah!! For the guys my age we hated the new sequels mostly for how luke was treated!! We never got to see the Jedi master that we grew up!!!! People used to say to me, why did hate the last jedi? What did want It to be like, what did you expect? Well, THIS!! what I saw from luke in 3 minutes toward the end of the mandalorian, was exactly what I wanted to see!!!
I'm 49 and saw ANH, ESB and RotJ "live" as they each hit theaters. Standing in line, staring at the movie posters outside the theater with wide eyes begging the line to move and the show to start. For the first time since Jedi, I felt that again as I watched this episode. When the X-wing flew past, I went silent. When the b/w screen showed a light saber I got hopeful, when the green saber showed in colour I was a kid again, and when the cowl pulled back to show Luke I was soaked in tears. THIS is what Star Wars is, for all the Kathleen Kennedys of the world who would instead use the franchise just as a vehicle for their agenda...this touches the hearts and minds of fans who connect with the humanness of the characters and the wonder of their stories. Favreau et al deserve applause and thanks for what they did in 2 seasons, and arguably, one episode, to give rebirth to an entire intellectual property that was rendered impotent after three 'sequels'.
Great, sincere reaction, brother! I'm 43 but felt like I was 5 years old as soon as that X-wing flew across the screen. I knew it was Luke. I had dreamed of this exact outcome as soon as Ahsoka said a Jedi may come for Grogu. But I couldn't have known it would be this good. What an absolute triumph. And like others have said, this actually felt like a real christmas gift; the best I've received since childhood. Great vid!
Same here. Hallway music was sublime, myterious, dark, and intense but when the jedi revealed his face Luke's Theme from the OT just broke me, ugly crying....
Buddy, the moment you see the door and the soft guitar strings begin playing it gave me goosebumps. Then those goosebumps became even more intense when you hear the words "a Jedi"?
All my heart, bro. All my heart. I was 12 when Star Wars came out in 1977. This was all I wanted. For my heroes to be heroes again. For five minutes I was no longer in 2020 losing family members to the pandemic, I was 12 again. I know it was only five minutes, but that's all I wanted. Thank you Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau.
People are getting so emotional seeing this scene because it's the same reaction you'd give if you got 5mins with an old friend who'd passed away! THAT is how bad they fucked up with the new trilogy SMH
Dude i teared up and i'm 46. John Favreau brought our childhood dreams back in fantastic fashion. Disney keep him on the payroll because he does a great job.
My thoughts exactly... Movies tried to be to cute and misdirection. They just should have closed the Skywalker saga the way fans could have enjoyed it. Rey was going to be the successor to him, but Luke's moment was stolen by it being a force projection. At least to me.
This Star Wars scene is the most talk of all the other Star Wars films. This scene made me cry at the same time felt with relief that they were able to save Star Wars. Star Wars is not just any ordinary sci fi film. It’s also an epic drama, and I’m proud to say that I’m a Star Wars fan since I was 8 years old. Thank you Jon Favreua.
You're - just like me - truly touched without hysterical screams. You silently enjoy what you see, and what we got to see was nothing less than WOW! Thank you for sharing your emotions!
Thank you for sharing this brother. I'm 31 and was crying like I never have watching a film. After the sheer disappointment and disgust with the sequels, this made me feel like a kid again
See. This man right here is a fan. He bleeds Star Wars. This series was made for him and the countless thousands of others who cheered, cried, and swelled with pride. Bravo my friend.
Yout said very nicely. That’s the way how I exactly felt and thought about the last moment. I took only five minutes to bring every memory back and forget what happened in the last trilogy. Lots of credits to Favreau. Only an honest fan like him knows how to tell a story and how a story should be told. I gave us something back. I am so thankful.
I love your reaction and comments after the end of this episode. Don't apologize for your tears. Your response was what I felt as well. Luke as we always wanted to see him. Beautiful.
Just like you, when R2 showed up, it created a visceral reaction in me. The whole scene already moved me, Luke, Gorgu/baby Yoda and Mando saying goodbye, but there was something about R2-D2 showing up that touched my inner child.
Imagine if the would have let John Favreau direct the sequel trilogies, we would have gotten The Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, instead of the shell of some guy named Skywalker and he’s a Jedi
Disney made the same mistake as Lucas did in the Prequels, having one person have total creative control. They gave Rian Johnson too much power in the Last Jedi without having someone to keep him in check. In the Force Awakens, Abrams had Lawrence Kasdan to keep him in check.
Hello there! I just want to say thank you to all of you for taking the time to watch my reaction to this wonderful moment. I've been reading all of your comments and I'm going to spend the next few days responding to you guys and gals. I'll talk to you soon, and may the force be with you!
You do not have to apologize for the tears as I had them streaming down my face as well. Not only has this year been hard on so many but it has been personally tough for me as well. Having these 8 episodes to enjoy for the time it took for the story to develop helped me escape my own hellish time. The show also takes me back to the joy and wonder of when I was a kid and loved everything related to Star Wars.
@@kdb10470 That's why this moment is so important because just for a few minutes myself and many others were able to forget those stressful and hard times from this year and just enjoy feeling like a kid again. It was priceless and I am so happy that so many fans are feeling that sense of joy watching Star War again!
No forgiveness necessary for the tears, man. Everyone I know, myself included, was weeping through that whole ending. This season really knocked it out of the park.
I was 13 years old standing in line opening day for Star Wars in 1977 watching this takes me right back to 13 and seeing Luke, Han and Leia for the first time.
No! Thank you FAVREAU AND DAVE FILONI! They are the ones to be praised. Specially Filoni who has been making true SW since 2008, the SW we all know and love and that evokes such emotions from us. He is the true heir of George Lucas universe.
@@travisk6221 I find it interesting that whenever people hate something from star wars, they are quick to pin the blame on Disney, but whenever they like something, Disney isn't acknowledged and they pretend as though Disney doesn't exist.
@@luohao2321 what are you talking about? Yeah it was made by Disney, but Sequels were made by some mutherfuc*ers whose only interest were money and Mandalorian was made by real Star wars fans. That's what we talking about
I thought it was only me. This entire episode had my emotions all over the place. Seeing Luke at full power with present day cinematography... damn. This is what we wanted.
Had the same emotional reaction to that scene and i'm 38 years old. I got this overwhelming feeling like seeing an old friend and to the time i bought the Luke actionfigure in the local toystore as a kid.
Same. I saw it with my dad for my 7th birthday and I remember Luke taking my breath away when he first appeared in Jabba’s palace on the screen. He became my hero from then on & RoJ was always my favorite just because of him. After seeing this, I was 7 years old again bouncing up and down in my seat to see THAT Luke again. When the music began, TEARS rolled.
I AM still crying, Man! Best episode ever. No, Luke os boy like vader in rogue one...he is better, fighting tô save people, to rescue grogu, with honor, elegance and respect for Mark Hamill, the one and only Luke.
Galaxy is saved , Thank you Jon Favreau, New hope has a new meaning now.. when i saw Luke i felt like i was a kid again watching for the first time episode 4 ... Emotions are positively overwhelming, Justice has been done, we waited so many years for this. Best christmas gift ever
No need to apologize for your tears mate, we were all right there with you!! Lol. Yours was a true fan's reaction. That last scene brought me back to my childhood. One of the best moments of the whole year!!! May the force be with you all!!!!
Those last 10 minutes of this show just "Rescued" an entire franchise.
No.. I will never fogive Disney for the sequels!
I loved this episode though, thank you Favreau!
Luke is Luke and not some hermite drinking green milk...
@@Ragnarswe we aren’t talking about Disney, we’re talking Star Wars. As far as we’re concerned, John and Dave are not a part of Disney they’re a part of Star Wars, and they are (with an amazing cast and set of directors) saving the reputation of the name. If Disney stays out and let’s them do what they want, I think we’ll be ok.
@@aspecttnd Sure mate, but I still dont forgive Disney for the sequels. This doenst change and Im betting that a lot of fans feel the same.
Watching it live I didn’t like the music or the CGI. Watching it back the CGI is actually ok and I love the music, the Grogu / Mando theme is beautiful.
A stunning 10 minutes that I’ve been waiting over 35 years for.
To me this episode retconned Luke Skywalker for one it showed Luke to be the Bad ass we always wanted to see and in his message to Din about protecting Grogu with his life . Could set up why Luke was so broken after the loss of his students. He may have promised their parent's or guardians the same promise he made to Din . Not being able to keep that promise is enough to break any man
The Luke Skywalker I been waiitng to see since 1983. It was glorious!
Exactly!
Luke has been retconned in my opinion . Not only did we get to see him as a bad ass. His promise to Din about protecting Grogu. Could be part of the reason when his temple was destroyed and students murdered by kylo . And just wanted to disappear and die on achto. He promised all the parents or guardians of each of his students the same thing he promised Din. That's enogh to break any man even Luke
I hope Dave filoni and Jon favreau can clean up the sequels like Dave did a bit with the prequels.
@@maciedixon3983 i think that gonna be tough job .
28 years in my case!! The Luke with faith in the force and good fighter
This episode was like finding out that Santa actually does exist and he's just brought the gift you wanted when you were a kid. It was that emotional. This is the only time I can remember that so many have cried in pure joy... for a tv show to have such an effect on so many... They have truly achieved the rank of master.
this is the way
I cried like a little boy out of pure joy......can`t remember when this happened to me before..........it was just a Masterpiece!
Well said! The Force was strong!
That's a great comment. I've been sitting here trying to figure out why it's so emotional. The tender moment between Grogu and Din should have been the tearjerker, not the arrival and few minutes of screen time of Luke, but yet here we are, balling again watching this for the 4th time. We've never seen Jedi Master Luke in his prime. Amazing. Perfect.
@@GatorShawn I´ll watch it now the 3rd time in 5min......my gaming Squad asked to help but I just said that this is not possible 2day BC I`m so screwed @ too much for on day, with the Book of Boba as well, that I would be no use in a fight........
I cried for 10 minutes after seeing this. A big black man full grown 43 year old balling my eyes out at the return of MY HERO LUKE 😭
Man, who DIDN'T cry!
❤️
Same
Only 10 minutes? Pfff, I cried for like a week haha
Me too my friend 😄💪👋
And just like that, Star Wars was more alive than it had been in years.
Well, alive but his eyes and lips...
Read the EU/Legends books, man.
Name one, only one! good EU book. Like realy good piece of literature... I don't think there is one. Yes, as young fan i've read tons of fanfiction and EU books, but they all seems quite cheesy nowadays. And not in a good way like original SW movies I love.
@@yeniczek What do you consider a "really good" piece of literature? War And Peace? Animal Farm? Hamlet? If so, no, none of them are on that level. But they're still worth it if, unlike you, you don't already dislike them. I like them all to a certain degree, except for Splinter Of The Mind's Eye, which I'm happy to ignore.
My own favourites would be those featuring Kyle Katarn and I place a lot of value in the Junior and Young Jedi Knights series', for kids.
“Decades”
My reaction was exactly the same brother. The catharsis I experienced seeing Luke properly portrayed in his prime was so powerful time stood still and I wept. Millions of star wars fans were made very happy last night, let us enjoy it together.
couldn't of said it better myself friend!!
Amen broo
Same for me . The redemption for what they did in the new trilogy. Luke is the hero for a generation.
My wife was chopping onions or something but I swear I wasn't crying.
Me too
The new Star Wars team really gave the fans a Christmas gift with this episode. Whole season really.
Imagine an episode 7 made by Feloni
I was pumped as soon as I saw the x wing
That's because the new Star Wars team consists of true Star Wars fans.:)
@@tonyg3091 You are 1000000% correct! This is the difference, when you have a team that genuinely loves the franchise versus just the paycheck
Just this scene. That's it.
I cried when I heard about it. I cried when I watched it twice on a row. I even cried when I watched the fan reactions... This really hit me deep. Been a SW fan 40+ years.
Same, same and same.
I’m with you, 50 years old my daughter begged me to watch it. I wanted to wait, finally did now she want to watch everything with me🤣. Thank you Dave, John.
As a 2 year old i saw Starwars in 1977. Life long Star wars fan . I am eternally grateful to Dave Filoni and Jon Fauvareau. They should of been in control for the sequel trilogy . It would of been awesome with them at control
Same, I have rewatched it over a dozen times. It's incredible.
@@mattclovdahl5247 I was 7 and can remember small things about seeing it with my brother and mother. This episode made me feel like that kid again, wide eyed and hopeful.
I'm in my 50's and saw all three original films in the theater. The last 3 films do not exist . This here is the Luke Skywalker I will always remember.
this is the Hero we all know and love.
❤️
Same here. As soon as my kids were old enough to watch and Enjoy, they saw the first 3. For all the people I know the last three films do not exist.
Yep, I was 13yo in 1977 and never saw anything so amazing as star wars.
Nine years old back in '77. Rode my bike 14 times to see it through the summer.
I'm 49 and cried like a baby... I was 5 when Luke was my hero... 44 years later I'm still 5
Im right there with you dude!
I'm 56. I was 12 when I went into a tiny 70's cinema to see Star Wars. The awesomeness. Cried like a baby upon watching this.
The Mandalorian - Season 2
ITS BETTER THEN THE WHOLE SEQUAL TRILOGY
OH COME ON! CAN YOU FINALY UNDERSTAND THAT ONE THING? BEING BETTER THAN SEQUALS IST'S A BIG CHALLANGE
The sequel trilogy is a travesty
@@Spacey_key the christmas holiday special is a million times better than the sequels too.
@@tris421 Totally true
@@Spacey_key It's not better. It's what it should have been.
-"Are you a Jedi?"
-"I am."
How much story do those words bring with them. What an excellent work of art.
and all the fans said: "Like his father before him!"
Ikr, it's more better than "Rey who" bullshit
Beautifully crafted!
Im 42 years old, and i was screaming like a Kid when we saw the glove and green lightsaber.
LOL...me too...I started screaming as soon as I saw the X-wing...then my wife woke up and "kindly" reminded me my kid was still sleeping...she looked at me like : "What's wrong with you?...You're 43, get over it"...but nah! I'm good...
We 90% knew it was Luke when you saw the X Wing, but the glove pumped it upto 99.9% 🤣
I felt like I was 11 again at the end of Jedi. 😄
@@davymac9866 The green saber too
Jajajaj es increíble pero rebacano ver personas como tu que les guste Star Wars
When I was a kid, my dad would rent A New Hope and Empire every weekend and we'd watch them on the old VCR (it was the early 90s) through the whole weekend. We did this enough times until the shop owner just gave my dad the original trilogy. That feeling of wonder and excitement was something that disappeared after my died passed away. The prequel trilogy didn't have that magic nor the sequel trilogy.
Seeing this singular episode was something special for me. I sat at the edge of my seat hunched forward and excitedly consuming every second of this series. I felt things I hadn't felt since I was on the couch with my pops watching the original trilogy. Jon Favreau gave me something I didn't even know that I wanted so badly.
That is fucking beautiful dude.
@@felldoh9271 haha thanks man. It just goes to show that some things mean a lot to some people whether they're fictional characters or whatever. I can't put into words the gratitude I have for what we got in the season finale of Mando. Bad cgi or not, it was still amazing.
It was, and thanks for sharing your story.
For a lot of us, Star Wars, was a bonding experience with our dad. Specially being a woman, for me (as the oldest kid in the house), was very important. My dad is a very quiet and reserved man and Star Wars was our moment. Years after, I get to have the same moment, with my brother, who was much more younger than I and who can't conect like I do with my dad. So, I introduce him to Star Wars, and there was another hardcore fan. With The Mandalorian, we both get to do the same, with my nephews. Three generations crazy about it. So, I totally feel this reactor at seeing Luke (he was a lot of more calm than I, who screamed my pulmons out 🤣).
@@rominamartinez5544 right on! I'm glad you and your pops were able to have that experience. I know it can't always be easy for a dad to bond with a daughter because of the gender divide we have created as a society BUT that is another conversation entirely lol storytelling in any medium has always been a bridge for people whether it's a father and daughter or two tribes trying to barter for food and land. Storytelling connects us and to hear some executive who is completely out of touch say that it's out of place to be emotional about a story or character is obviously out of touch.
This reaction is why most fans didn't like the treatment of Luke in the sequel movies, we all wait decades to see Jedi master Luke! What we got was grumpy old man Luke and we were all heart broken! when we got the Luke we wanted we all cried!
the idea of making Luke lose faith int he force is a bold idea for a sequel Luke..the problem was the execution of it, it came off as lazy and SUPER CAMPY!
A better way of making Luke lose faith in the force is maybe, han and leia suspect Ben is turning to the darkside, but Luke having turned Darth Vader to the light arrogantly trusts in the force, this time it doesnt pay off and ben is sdeuced by the darkside, making Luke lose his way and severs his connection to both the trust of his friends, family and the force making him go to exile
but NOPE, instead his reason is "NEPHEW MIGHT BE EVIL...MUST..KILL..NEPHEW IN..HIS..SLEEEP!" "MUST...DRINK..ALIEN..TITTY"
The reactions to this just goes to prove the people who say the OT fans aren't happy with anything new isn't true, and not an excuse they can use anymore for their shitty movies. When its done _right_ you get a hundred reaction videos of grown adults so happy they're crying
that old man was Jake, not Luke, a distant cousin or something..
@@aigarsvavere5859 yup lets go with that!
I liked grumpy old Luke 😊 But it was great to see him in all his glory again.
it made me cry as well, it took me to my childhood when my father was still alive :( we watched starwars togther and he loved Luke.. and to see him like this agian i remeberd the dayes i had with my father :.( love u dad rest in peace
Amen
R.i.p your father is now more powerful than we can possibly imagine.
@@pcruz-zd5tc haha i see what u did there, thank you
My father also died some years ago and he was a huge Star Wars fan! His favorite characters were the old wise characters like Yoda and Obi-Wan, but he also liked Vader and Luke a lot. He got me into Star Wars and I wish he could see this! Right now I'm all alone, but I really hope they have Disney Plus in heaven so our fathers can watch it together! :)
God, I still tear up at the force ghost scene in Episode 6, it was by far the favorite scene of my father. When I watched Star Wars alone (I watched it almost every day as a kid :D) I just had to cry "Daaad!" and he knew what was up, or he recognized the Victory Celebration music and came over to watch the ghost scene with me haha :/
My Pop took me to see Star Wars in 77...we stood in line for hours talking about what we were about to share. When my Pops got super sick, the night before he passed, he got up really late for him, asked me to put Star Wars on. We shared that one last time together. Seeing Luke, the real Luke, again brought me my Pop back again. I haven't cried tears like this in a long long time. My Pop is smiling.
Dude that was legit some of the best Star Wars shit I’ve ever seen in my life
(see's X-Wing) - "no way", (Green Lightsaber) - "it couldn't", (right hand glove) - "oh heck", they masterfully teased and built up the reveal in what felt like eternity. This last episode was like a christmas miracle. all the turmoil of 2020 and on the final stretch, this. There's hope again.
Yup, thats exactly what i was
People mostly do not sure its luke until take the hood off but the killer sign was that gloved right hand
in virtually all star wars, Luke was always shown as a lone x-wing flyer. a little detail that certainly made me jump first seeing that x-wing.
His belt buckle is when I knew it was him same belt from RTJ
@@nowistimeforfightingyouson3325 - Nah, I knew when I saw the green saber blade. 😲😃😍 I saw the X-Wing, but we've seen X-Wings in the other episodes also so I was not excited...but then the fight down the hallway I perked up. 👀 When I saw the green saber blade, there was no doubt who's lightsaber that was...Yah hooo! 😄👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Now, this is a finale that ROCKS! 💝
A new hope.
Everybody's gangsta until Luke Skywalker shows up.
Facts!
“The Rescue” was such an appropriate title for this episode.
Literally, this rescue Star wars!
Rescued Luke's character, and this entire series has saved Star Wars.
I am shocked at all the men crying on TH-cam at this episode.....I also am proud to be one of them 🥲
2nd time in my life I shed a tear during a film/show. First being at the end of Return of the King. I may have teared up at the end twin sun set at the end of ROTS, but I dont recall.
I to shed Manly tears
This tapped into something deep in our childhood memories. It made me feel like a 9 year old watching Star Wars for the first time again. That kind of feeling comes rarely to adults.
This truly did get you in the right places. It made me shed a tear and gave me goosebumps all the way through. This is what we have been waiting for what it should have been. Just think what they could do with a film 😢😭✌️
@@haydnturner9210 amen bro
I've never seen this many people express this much emotion ever. Luke Skywalker is the most beloved character of Star Wars.
He is the son of the Choosen One.......Greatness
And here I always thought Darth Vader was. 😉
Don't thank Disney or Lucasfilm, this is all a love letter from Jon and Dave.
But Disney give Jon and Dave the controll and the MONEY - at the end, Disney is the Moneymaker and without money and all the stuff ....The Mandalorian dont exist.
Amen
Exactly.
@@Ohmbricks Disney is the one who should thank someone, dave and jon to be precise, for saving star wars
@@Lahuta_Malcis99 exactly, disney was about to destroy Star Wars. Jon and Dave are going to save Star Wars!
I bawled like a baby when he lifted his hood. I've been waiting 40 years for this powerful moment with Like Skywalker. Even since I was 12 years old. Thanks Filoni and Favreau for the memories.
Everyone has been summing it up perfectly. This is literally all we ever wanted. To see this version of Luke. Finally to see it, was beyond satisfying.
Luke at his prime as a Jedi Master is a sight to behold
now the wills bring him back for good in the Future. And keep this coming :)
I got to watch this with my 6 yr old boy.... I nearly cried
Please, true Star Wars fans, THANK Filoni and Favreau. We've waited 40 years for this moment. We endured the destruction and shaming of Luke in TLJ, knowing, above all, that Luke is a TRUE hero, a man of virtue and kindness and faith. Luke does NOT give up or give in. In spite of all, even Yoda and Kenobi telling him it was impossible, Luke overcame the Emperor to bring Anakin back.
Luke IS the Light side of the Force; in spite of his power. The Mandalorian understands this. The danger was corruption, temptation from power. Luke has overcome this. He can use Force powers most are not able to resist because he is PURE.
We can quibble all we want, but this was beautiful and fitting. I'm still in shock. THANK YOU!
And, to me, Din IS the embodiment of the Mandalorian ethos. He is young and naive in his journey, but he is a man of honor, a true warrior. He should not be shamed or "replaced" with Fett as many say [I love Fett returning to his roots in the extra-credits scene]. Mando is a special character and I appreciate the show and what he brings just as much as the redemption of Luke. I'm so f*cking happy.
Agree on all points. Luke represents the purest form of the light side of the force. From the time he was a kid on Tatooine and until this moment in Mandalorian, he was a kind hearted, selfless person who always put his family, friends, and mission above himself. Like you said, he never gave up or gave into despair. He believed there was good in every person, no matter their past. And that no one was lost forever. That's the Luke I know and love from the OT and in Mandalorian.
I, too, hope Din stays on as the main character for season 3. After all, he made a promise that he will see Grogu again. He will not break that promise.
@@sleepnaught
Wonderful comment. Thank you. Agreed.
I agree with you on almost all points and I certainly am no fan of TLJ....... however one of the few things that does ring slightly true to me is the old Luke we saw in TLJ. My experience in life has been that no matter how awesome a person is in their prime, age ruins everyone in the end. Show me a single person in elderly years that isn't in some way or another a pale shadow of their younger selves. It's just reality, Luke in his 60s is just (at least realistically) not going to be the rock of confidence and control that he was in his prime starting around RotJ and the following years. No doubt that Luke in his prime would never go into hiding and be bitter. Middle age crisis is a real thing that most men go through. To see an elderly Luke with no flaws as if he's in his prime would have felt like a comic book character......however as I said even though Luke wasn't a problem for me in TLJ.....I hated so much other stuff in that movie anyways
Exactly! Kylo Ren was not 1/10th the bad ass that Anakin was and he saved the baddest man in the galaxy. He faced all obstacles and was triumphant. Enough with the sequels, I'm just too happy to get a proper, true picture of one of the best heroes in cinema history. Thank you Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and all the directors and storytellers who brought back Luke in proper fashion. Awesome!
Ruin Johnson has earned that name. As you mentioned Luke never gave up on his father even as he was dying. Years later Luke senses that his nephew might turn to the dark side so he tries to murder him in his sleep. As far as I'm concerned episodes 7-9 are bad fan fiction and don't exist.
Married, 2 kids, 35, cried like a baby... This show my dudes, this damn show...
I too am married, 2 kids, 35.. and cried like a baby. I also say my dudes.. weird. But also interesting.. cheers!

Right & what is he crying for bruh?
I was in tears and couldn’t stop smiling bro. This scene resurrected all starwars fans. The mandolorian is a master piece
I'm 46 years old. THIS is my Luke Skywalker.
❤️
Millions of voices cried out in joy and were suddenly happy. 🥲
I keep telling my friends
"I cried at last night's episode"
None of my friends have seen it yet. Every single one of them is like "DID MANDO DIE!??!"
I'm like "No, I cried of happiness"
Tell us what their reaction is :D I really want to know
Yeee what were their reactions
yes please do tell us about their reactions
Same here!
I had one say "Well, I watched it"
"Did you cry?"
"Big time"
I cried too. Im 34m and have a baby boy the same "age" / size as baby Yoda. I even call him baby Yoda, as he was born just as we began to watch the show, when season 2 came out. I really felt for Mando, as he gave his "son" away.
It hit me so hard - the tears were pouring.
Your son is 50 years old?
@@joren2226 that's why he typed "age". Because obviously Baby Yoda despite his age he's still a little one for his species. If a Butterfly could think like us, then a 14 day new-born is an ancient being doubling the life expectancy of an average butterfly. It's all about perspectives.
@@joren2226 They grow up so fast. 🤣
I’m 50 years old and this made me feel like a kid when I first saw Star Wars! So many fans of all ages wow what respect for shared love of the story may it continue❣️
@@joren2226 well grogu is a baby
Everyone cried at the same part, including me!! 😭 when I saw that green lightsaber I balled my eyes out! Even more so when Mando took his helmet off for Grogu!!
Both moments were beautifully constructed.
I was not optimistic at all when this show started. I figured the mouse had killed off the thing I loved as a child so much. That my last memory of seeing Luke was the abomination in the 2nd mouse film. But Friday night as I sat with my daughter, it was 1983 again. For a few minutes, I shared a child like wonder with my kid, taking in every scene, holding back tears. For a time Friday night, there was no mouse, no new trilogy, no fighting, arguing, nothing. There was Star Wars. Nothing more. That thing that has captured our imaginations and hearts for 4 decades. That bounded total strangers, broke language and culture barriers. Don’t know where it goes from here, but we had Friday night
Lmfao "The Mouse"
You meant to say " Thank you Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau "
Since they announced in 2012 that we were getting new Star Wars films, this is what I was hoping for. Since I was a kid I wanted to see prime Luke, the guy that George said was the most powerful Jedi of all time. I'm thankful we got him here in this episode.
It was them, Disney, Lucasfilm, and Kathleen Kennedy since she was also hands on the show.
@@aires425 She just green lighted the project. She has NO creative input and thank God. The Disney Trilogy turned out the way it did because she had creative input. She's a producer, not a creative. She should know her role, and never touch Star Wars ever again in a creative capacity.
@@aires425 she's the main reason why the sequel trilogy sucked so no I ain't thanking her
@@supersmashhead5663 she’s also the main reason why we have a show like the Mandalorian. If anything, the sequels falls into the direction and writing. Kathleen is the one who gave us more content. So yeah, she should be thanked. Cause without her, we wouldn’t have this in the first place. It’s common sense.
@@supersmashhead5663 not to mention she’s the reason why we had clone wars final season, Hayden returning as Vader/Anakin, Ewan returning as Obi-wan in his own show, ahsoka getting her own show, and a lot more. She didn’t ruin Star Wars like people claim they did, if anything, it’s the fanbase who did by complaining about things that doesn’t fit their own narrative.
The thing that kills me about all this is that This Luke should have happened in theaters so we could ALL enjoy this together .....But I will take what I can get at this point.
YOU GOT THE RIGHT POINT! THIS MOMENT SHOULD'VE BEEN OUR FAN'S TIME IN THE THEATER!
1000% agree. This is the Luke we all wanted when Disney bought Lucasfilm. I'm so happy, I will say nothing further, I'm going to rewatch in a few hours.
Everyone did enjoy it except from home or their mobile device.
If this happened in a full theater it would be an epic, cathartic moment like never seen before
That's exactly how I felt. After the episode ended I was in awe, followed by sadness of the realization of how much more of an impact it would have been to be in a theater with fans and hear the crowd gasp as they see the xwing and then cheer when Luke reveals his face.
I'm 48 yr old Grandfather, I saw "A New Hope" "Empire Strikes Back" & "Return Of The Jedi" In theaters with my older brother, had all the toys, t-shirts & bed sheets/curtains in the 80's, This hit me in my feels pretty hard, I cried too. Thank You So Much Disney, "this will begin to make things right again."
I’m a 72 model as well. I can relate to every word you said.
To make things right again? They ruined star wars already and now word is they want ALL future star wars projects to feature women or minorities lead characters only, all white men bad. Yeah... Sounds like Star Wars is in good hands
'76 model here. Star Wars was one of the few things my mother and I had in common. She passed a few years ago and watching that scene just tore me up. I wish she had been here to see it too.
Like Luke is so beloved just like Tony Stark(Ironman)
@@scotthall7585 oooh noooo, not minority leads lol. We've just been having a real shortage of guy leads lmao
When a 5 minute cameo brings more joy than a billion dollar trilogy..Thats the Lyke Skywaker i grew up with
I accidentally read a spoiler and I still cried when I watched it. I just didn't expect it to be this good!... THIS TRUELY IS STAR WARS!
“Talent without training is nothing.” Ya hear that Rey??? NOTHING!!!
Rey: but im all the Jedi
THIS IS THE FUCKING WAY!
Lolll
Well, she probably still trained more than Luke himself :P
That only applies to one movie, and said two parts in said movie are exaggerated to hell anyway.
I feel you bro. I grew up without a big brother... in my mind, Luke was. To see him treated right, finaly, brought tears to my eyes as well..... like seeing a lost family member again.
This is more than Fiction. For some of us raised on it, this is our CULTURE.
Aw Bro... You literally have his lightsaber tattooed on your arm. I know how you feel :)
This meant more to me than I can ever explain. The tattoo, that lightsaber, it stands for so much in my eyes. It's a symbol of hope!
@@MRSICKLATER For those who understand, no explanation is neccessary. For those who don't, no explanation will do.
@@MRSICKLATER I felt a great celebration in the force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in joy and would never again be silenced. I fear something wonderful has happened!
"He is strong with the Force, but talent without training is nothing."
Sequel Trilogy? "That is why you fail."
That was a brilliant burn. 👍🏻
Rey taps her energy from the Dark Side, that's why she is so strong without training. Easier, quicker, more tempting...
@@Pomoscorzo Still need training even for that. Just not as much. Instinctive use of the force, for light and dark without training, has been shown in OT and PT to be heightened awareness and reaction times increasing. Not mind tricks and sabre fighting.
One of the greatest moments in cinema history. This is the fucking way!!!!
And it wasn't even at the cinema. 😉
I cried too pal!!! I'm 45 years old and I was crying my eyes out at 7am Friday morning...my brother was like are you serious, and I was like yeah!! For the guys my age we hated the new sequels mostly for how luke was treated!! We never got to see the Jedi master that we grew up!!!! People used to say to me, why did hate the last jedi? What did want It to be like, what did you expect? Well, THIS!! what I saw from luke in 3 minutes toward the end of the mandalorian, was exactly what I wanted to see!!!
❤️
Finally, the respect Luke and the series should have had from the start, am I right? Goddamn, it's good to have media that evokes emotion in 2020...
I am with you
47 man and i don’t fucking Care, so great work
I'm 49 and saw ANH, ESB and RotJ "live" as they each hit theaters. Standing in line, staring at the movie posters outside the theater with wide eyes begging the line to move and the show to start. For the first time since Jedi, I felt that again as I watched this episode. When the X-wing flew past, I went silent. When the b/w screen showed a light saber I got hopeful, when the green saber showed in colour I was a kid again, and when the cowl pulled back to show Luke I was soaked in tears. THIS is what Star Wars is, for all the Kathleen Kennedys of the world who would instead use the franchise just as a vehicle for their agenda...this touches the hearts and minds of fans who connect with the humanness of the characters and the wonder of their stories. Favreau et al deserve applause and thanks for what they did in 2 seasons, and arguably, one episode, to give rebirth to an entire intellectual property that was rendered impotent after three 'sequels'.
Great, sincere reaction, brother! I'm 43 but felt like I was 5 years old as soon as that X-wing flew across the screen. I knew it was Luke. I had dreamed of this exact outcome as soon as Ahsoka said a Jedi may come for Grogu. But I couldn't have known it would be this good. What an absolute triumph. And like others have said, this actually felt like a real christmas gift; the best I've received since childhood. Great vid!
I don't think I'll ever be able to watch this scene without crying
I've been binge watching these reactions to Luke....I cant stop! It's so great!!
It's so nice to see everyone coming together to enjoy this. Even though there are some who hate this moment (which I can't understand)!
The music in this scene is just next level. Unreal how much it heightened everything going on.
Same--brilliant writing
Ludwig is genius
I agree Matt I was thinking the same thing. The score was perfect !! Bravo Ludwig
Same here. Hallway music was sublime, myterious, dark, and intense but when the jedi revealed his face Luke's Theme from the OT just broke me, ugly crying....
Buddy, the moment you see the door and the soft guitar strings begin playing it gave me goosebumps. Then those goosebumps became even more intense when you hear the words "a Jedi"?
All my heart, bro. All my heart. I was 12 when Star Wars came out in 1977. This was all I wanted. For my heroes to be heroes again. For five minutes I was no longer in 2020 losing family members to the pandemic, I was 12 again. I know it was only five minutes, but that's all I wanted. Thank you Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau.
What 3 movies couldn't do they did in 5 mins
yea till you realize being a younger luke the cannon still leads into the last 3 pieces of shit we got.
@@GalironRunner Disney would be foolish not to retcon the sequel trilogy after seeing fans reaction to this. I truly think it's going to happen
The future of Star Wars isn't in the movies but in the shows.
People are getting so emotional seeing this scene because it's the same reaction you'd give if you got 5mins with an old friend who'd passed away! THAT is how bad they fucked up with the new trilogy SMH
That's exactly how it felt seeing this.
Dude i teared up and i'm 46. John Favreau brought our childhood dreams back in fantastic fashion. Disney keep him on the payroll because he does a great job.
All I could do was cry, "it's him, it's really him" over and over again
I've been waiting for this since 1983 when I was 10 and saw ROTJ in the cinema. This is by far the best day of 2020.
My thoughts exactly... Movies tried to be to cute and misdirection. They just should have closed the Skywalker saga the way fans could have enjoyed it. Rey was going to be the successor to him, but Luke's moment was stolen by it being a force projection. At least to me.
@@bratton86 the only thing that i wish they did for luke in this episode was to deep fake him and use mark hamill as a voice actor
This Star Wars scene is the most talk of all the other Star Wars films. This scene made me cry at the same time felt with relief that they were able to save Star Wars. Star Wars is not just any ordinary sci fi film. It’s also an epic drama, and I’m proud to say that I’m a Star Wars fan since I was 8 years old. Thank you Jon Favreua.
You're - just like me - truly touched without hysterical screams. You silently enjoy what you see, and what we got to see was nothing less than WOW! Thank you for sharing your emotions!
This episode truly was A NEW HOPE! 😊👍
Thank you for sharing this brother. I'm 31 and was crying like I never have watching a film. After the sheer disappointment and disgust with the sequels, this made me feel like a kid again
That scen was the best thing to come out of 2020! Respect man!
It 100% was!
This is without a doubt the most sincere, heartfelt reaction I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful how something like this can touch you.
See. This man right here is a fan. He bleeds Star Wars. This series was made for him and the countless thousands of others who cheered, cried, and swelled with pride. Bravo my friend.
When I Saw The X-WIng I Was Like "Filoni You Son of A Bi-'
In a happy way
Filoni, this better not be balogna
Yout said very nicely. That’s the way how I exactly felt and thought about the last moment. I took only five minutes to bring every memory back and forget what happened in the last trilogy.
Lots of credits to Favreau. Only an honest fan like him knows how to tell a story and how a story should be told. I gave us something back. I am so thankful.
I’m crying with you bro! The Star Wars community was blessed by being able to see this!
I love your reaction and comments after the end of this episode. Don't apologize for your tears. Your response was what I felt as well. Luke as we always wanted to see him. Beautiful.
Just like you, when R2 showed up, it created a visceral reaction in me. The whole scene already moved me, Luke, Gorgu/baby Yoda and Mando saying goodbye, but there was something about R2-D2 showing up that touched my inner child.
Bruh Jon and Dave, if you ever in my area, I owe you a drink 😂
Imagine of Rian Johnson valued Luke Skywalker as much as this fella does.
Imagine if the would have let John Favreau direct the sequel trilogies, we would have gotten The Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, instead of the shell of some guy named Skywalker and he’s a Jedi
This is the difference between an guy who makes movies and a guy who makes star wars movies.....
He did, that's why he gave us a great Luke Skywalker film.
@@BossAttack Rian may have valued Luke in his own way but consensus is, his version of Luke is not the one the majority wanted to see.
Disney made the same mistake as Lucas did in the Prequels, having one person have total creative control. They gave Rian Johnson too much power in the Last Jedi without having someone to keep him in check. In the Force Awakens, Abrams had Lawrence Kasdan to keep him in check.
"That's literally, all I wanted" man, I feel you
Hello there! I just want to say thank you to all of you for taking the time to watch my reaction to this wonderful moment. I've been reading all of your comments and I'm going to spend the next few days responding to you guys and gals. I'll talk to you soon, and may the force be with you!
You do not have to apologize for the tears as I had them streaming down my face as well. Not only has this year been hard on so many but it has been personally tough for me as well. Having these 8 episodes to enjoy for the time it took for the story to develop helped me escape my own hellish time. The show also takes me back to the joy and wonder of when I was a kid and loved everything related to Star Wars.
You made me cry all over again. 😭❤️
Did you see the AFTER CREDIT scene?
@@kdb10470 That's why this moment is so important because just for a few minutes myself and many others were able to forget those stressful and hard times from this year and just enjoy feeling like a kid again. It was priceless and I am so happy that so many fans are feeling that sense of joy watching Star War again!
@@crandleberrysadie I'm sorry! Hard not too when you feel like a friend that hasn't been around for 20 years finally appears out of nowhere again haha
Brother, your eyes said it all. This finale didn't just save Star Wars. It saved 2020.
I was in tears too. I’ve waited my entire life for that. That is the Luke I read about as a kid. I finally got to see it.
This is a catharsis moment, seeing luke back is like knowing jesus loves you and answered our prayers
Gideon : Why do I hear boss music?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh he heard that boss music alright.. and it was so intense he had to take his own life xD
Hahahahah Great Man!
Gideon looked TERRIFIED!
No forgiveness necessary for the tears, man. Everyone I know, myself included, was weeping through that whole ending. This season really knocked it out of the park.
I was 13 years old standing in line opening day for Star Wars in 1977 watching this takes me right back to 13 and seeing Luke, Han and Leia for the first time.
No! Thank you FAVREAU AND DAVE FILONI!
They are the ones to be praised. Specially Filoni who has been making true SW since 2008, the SW we all know and love and that evokes such emotions from us. He is the true heir of George Lucas universe.
Nao puede non brasileno babon
When R2 Shows up, the tears don’t stop. What a fantastic finale.
This is the star wars we deserved!!! Not that disney joke trilogy
Still created by Disney by the way
Mandalorian is also made by Disney. I feel like people forget about that
@@luohao2321 yeah they act dumb asf
@@travisk6221 I find it interesting that whenever people hate something from star wars, they are quick to pin the blame on Disney, but whenever they like something, Disney isn't acknowledged and they pretend as though Disney doesn't exist.
@@luohao2321 what are you talking about? Yeah it was made by Disney, but Sequels were made by some mutherfuc*ers whose only interest were money and Mandalorian was made by real Star wars fans. That's what we talking about
I thought it was only me. This entire episode had my emotions all over the place. Seeing Luke at full power with present day cinematography... damn. This is what we wanted.
I’m a 34 yo man and I cried when Mando let Luke adopt Grogu. Smh.
It was luke for me. Cheers
They knew exactly what us fans wanted and they give it us and more.
Great genuine reaction, my dude! Nothing to apologize for! We’re all bawling rn.
Hats off to Disney, Favreau and Filoni, they have made grown man cried myself included
This was closure in alot of ways for the vast majority of fans. The films robbed us of that. To Jon Faverau, I have two words. Thank you. ❤️
Had the same emotional reaction to that scene and i'm 38 years old. I got this overwhelming feeling like seeing an old friend and to the time i bought the Luke actionfigure in the local toystore as a kid.
Luke - last and best disciple's Yoda. Hello from Russia!
5 minutes of feeling like a kid again - exact same reaction and I wept like a kid.
I felt an awakening of star wars fans with this episode like millions of fans weeping for joy for seeing the Luke they knew and loved!
I'm 44 and cried when I saw Luke, i was back in '83 again!! Watching RETURN OF THE JEDI...
❤️
Same. I saw it with my dad for my 7th birthday and I remember Luke taking my breath away when he first appeared in Jabba’s palace on the screen. He became my hero from then on & RoJ was always my favorite just because of him. After seeing this, I was 7 years old again bouncing up and down in my seat to see THAT Luke again. When the music began, TEARS rolled.
@@ruadhrose great memories!!!
After the recent trilogy, we NEEDED this.
Thank you John Favreau for saving Star Wars.
I AM still crying, Man! Best episode ever. No, Luke os boy like vader in rogue one...he is better, fighting tô save people, to rescue grogu, with honor, elegance and respect for Mark Hamill, the one and only Luke.
Galaxy is saved , Thank you Jon Favreau, New hope has a new meaning now.. when i saw Luke i felt like i was a kid again watching for the first time episode 4 ... Emotions are positively overwhelming, Justice has been done, we waited so many years for this. Best christmas gift ever
Never apologize for tears Bro...! No true SW fan watching this would have dry eyes...!
No need to apologize for your tears mate, we were all right there with you!! Lol. Yours was a true fan's reaction. That last scene brought me back to my childhood. One of the best moments of the whole year!!! May the force be with you all!!!!
Great reaction man, respect!
Every man and woman fellt the disturbance in the force yesterday, and they all cried out in happyness.
It's what we needed after this very sad year!
