yep. had tears in my eyes seeing naboo and coruscant celebrating as well, realizing how many people the empire actually influenced. for the first time I saw star wars end as it should've been, and I couldn't have asked for more.
I feel the same. I understand people can be critical of the changes, but they gave GL too much shit for it imo. And its not like you cant just get the old version if you want it and prefer it.
Yeah they missed out on a key character. They should have put him into rogue one with CGI too like they did red leader and gold leader from the battle of Yavin.
Same, I grew up with the originals, but went through College with the prequels. I actually took a movie appreciation class and we saw Revenge of the Sith in theaters as part of class. I liked both, but I think the 2011 version was better since it ties in both stories, but the reflection of Anakin’s younger self BEFORE he turned Sith I think reflects his true self not the manipulated and mutilated version he became.
Yes, was born in 94 and my parents first showed me & my older brother the OT around the time Phantom Menace came out on the original VHS. Bought that gorgeous 2011 blu ray set with my own money. Good times
The 2011 ending is the best because it definitively wraps up the saga and connects George Lucas's two trilogies, making it impossible for Disney's sequel trilogy to be canon.
Pathetic, some years ago everyone hated the prequels like people like you hate the sequels now and it will always be like this, because you expect the movies to be exactly like you remember your childhood. I grew up with the prequels and I would never say, that they are objectively better movies than the sequels
@@DerEchteBabo No we don't. We just expect them to be good movies(some of us at least). It's just that the sequel trilogy suffered so much because of TLJ. I actually really liked TFA. I even thought TRoS was quite decent, but the movies didn't have the best writing. Rey didn't really work for me as a protagonist because she's a Mary Sue if anything. Finn was great, but he got sidelined after TFA. I didn't find Rose as dislikable as most fans do, but that little stunt she pulled at the end of TLJ saving Finn was completely unnecessary. His arc had literally come full circle. And don't even get me started on Snoke. He was supposed to be the new Palps for this trilogy, but he was so ominous that his death in TLJ didn't feel like comeuppance. It just felt like the catalyst for a fight scene. Anyways, sorry for the essay, but that's my take on this trilogy
Ive never noticed that b4. Also i just realised we never rlly see how ppl in the galaxy feel abt tbe emperor himself, since hes always hidden away from the main conflict most of the time
I never notice that before and went back to watch it. All of the other times I have watched it I was looking at the crowds . Thanks for pointing it out. 👍👍👍👍
I love how complete the newer music felt, like this was the definite end of the series. But it was interesting how the original portrayed Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda as a trio of friends before Anakin's fall.
Exactly, this is Anakin’s final send off and after knowing the pain and torment he went through now that we have the prequels it needed a more dramatic ending.
@@bluevenomroblox The ghosts are the jedis who have an important rol in the Luke's life. Qui gon replacing Yoda has no sense, even if he hadn´t been killed.

There’s just something so powerful about Luke’s expression while sending off his father. You can tell he’s feeling so many different emotions at once, and the music, coming full circle with the very beginning of episode 4, staring off into the double sun.
Yes, and the almost fierce affection with which he embraces Han is really interesting as well. Their whole relationship gets condensed into that one act. Amazing.
Oh those aren't fireworks, that's fragments of Rhydonium raining down on the atmosphere from the decaying orbit of the Death Star IIs wreckage. Let's just say Endor won't be the forest moon much longer
The celebration music change as well as adding Bespin, Tattooine & Coruscant were added in the 1997 Special Edition while adding Naboo & replacing Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christensen as Anakin's Force Ghost were added into the 2004 DVD.
@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3 Coruscant was added into the 1997 Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition & has been in every upgrade since. Naboo on the other hand was added into the 2004 DVD set. Episode I was in development at the time in 1997 while Episode III was being worked on when the middle/original trilogy was being released to DVD. It's been a hot minute, but I think Coruscant was also a setting (or at least mentioned) in the book, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (1996), which is only in Legends canon & not Disney canon.
When the actors hug on the set you can feel that it's more than just acting. You feel the legitimate love and friendship the actors share for each other.
2011 version seems to be the favorite. It ties everything from episodes 1 through 6 nicely and serves as a poignant reminder that we never needed an episode 7. This is the Star Wars I want to remember, not what it has become.
The mistake was not to make a new trilogy but to decide that this trilogy should be part of the "Skywalker Saga". Why not just tell a whole new story about the Old Republic or High Republic? All the Sith Wars or Hyperspace War would be a great setting for a new trilogy. But no, they wanted to continue a finished story instead.
2011 ending gets me everytime. I can't just help but drop some tears. Really. The tender music, these little bear-like creatudes dancing with all their innocence, soldiers dancing and Luke, victorious, watching his masters and his redeemed father looking at him proudly. Just beautiful.
I love both endings, 1983 ending is a more cultural-esque ceremony for the Ewoks, their celebration, then there is Sebastian Shaw standing there, we get to see how Anakin looked like without his burns and scars, and in his Jedi ceremonial robes, the 2011 version on the other hand, shows the whole Galaxy celebrating the fall of the Empire, the song has more meaning and is more melancholical, a true way to end a trilogy and give us a sense of a happy ending, then there's Hayden Christensen, showing that Anakin truly died when he killed Mace Windu, but then returned (thus being Return of the Jedi) when he, as the Chosen One, killed both Darth Vader and Darth Sidious, i hope he's finally reunited with Padmé in the Force Afterlife and they're both happy with eachother.
@@jesusfrancoHe actually knows bc between ep 5 and 6 it was revealed that Luke had read Obi Wan's book, and that book contained basically all the information that he needed, as well as Anakin previous physical aspect
@@jesusfrancoAre you saying that Anakin’s force ghost shouldn’t be Hayden Christensen because Luke never knew what he looked like? Because I hope you know how little sense that makes.
The addition of more sound in the 2011 version does a subtle job but adds so much camaraderie, you can practically feel it. Instead of just silence and music, you can hear Han and Lando laughing as they embrace; Chewie's roars are louder and crisper, even a few of the extra hugs can have their slaps and pats heard, and during almost all of it, you can hear the whole cast's laughter and chatter in the background. You can hear the happiness of the people and characters we've come to know and love, and that makes the scene feel so much better.
The only thing that didn’t make sense was the planets celebrating. The Death Star was gone, but the Empire was still large and had a tight grip on the galaxy. Still was more heart felt and felt like a celebration moment, in which they won, and felt right
Obviously the 2011 there’s a lot more incredible “art” going on but what I really like is how Hayden appears cause after what we’ve seen (now) in 1-3, he’s the Anakin we’ve all grown to love… or hate. But love the fact that Luke can look upon his bad ass “good” father finally.
Man, sometimes i wish for sequels but something in me say that would be a horrible mistake with terribly script. Ha, you could imagine it? Something like The Emperor coming back, I'm glad we live in a reality where that never happened

@@JustGarbo14 Such a return of an old Villain for whom it literally took 6 movies to kill , is just trash .It not only is a dumb, over-used storyline but it even makes no meaning out of OT . Luke , who was so cool to be honest did so good , just gave up and what he did before was revived . Sorry my comment may not match your one but I just wanted to say it
There's always the expanded universe. Though it is too bad THAT ended with the Hand of Thrawn Duology. (Because wouldn't it be stupid to have the galaxy invaded by edgelord [Ess Emm] aliens or Han and Leia's son turn to evil?)
lol at how all the zoomers trying to make the prequels seem good all of a sudden. Can't wait for the next generation to praise 1-9 when the next trilogy happens.
@@The_RedVIII Haha, nobody who really likes Starwars actually had a fulfilling emotional experience watching 7-9. 1-6 is best, always…great story arc overall. Sequels story was a total mess
@@Ramzi1944 3:55 It is a bit earlier: far in the background when the camera stops panning after the fall of the Statue of the Emperor. Look for the spires on the building.
No handshake between Luke and Han. Straight to a hug. Also I know people get upset that the Hayden anakin is used at the end. But people who watch 1-6 for the first time in that order love it. My wife literally cried seeing younger Anakin redeemed and returned to his former self. Beautiful stuff. 2011 ending is way better.
The 2011 ending is really great, save for Anakin looking to his left when he should be looking to his right. Seems he was not well directed in that scene.
When Hayden first appears it's perfect, he's looking straight at Luke, as Sebastian did (minute 2:06 and 5:20). But it is how Christensen looks to somewhere else (minute 5:27) that I still don't like. Do you notice that his eyes are fixed at a different place?
This is an interesting side note but I absolutely love that Wedge was included in the celebration montage of both endings. Wedge is by far one of the most underrated Star Wars heroes, he was arguably just as important to blowing up the second Death Star as Lando Calrissian and Nien Numb were.
@@drlca6601ok, if so tell me one thing. Is Wedge Antiless or Antilles is the same person as captain Antilles (or Antiless). The R2D2's and C3PO's new master? From RotS's ending?
1983: the rebels celebrating they destroyed an imperial station 1997/2011: the whole galaxy celebrating the fall of the Empire that oppressed them for over 20 years and celebrating that they're finally free, bringing a brand new positive era to the galaxy
The original ending was a proper finale of a beloved trilogy, but the 2011 ending was the finale of an era, tieing together a deeper and more meaningful story
2011 is just stupid and baffled me for the years. Such big system as Galactic Empire can't rely on just one man. And doesn't desintegrates instantly the moment he dies. I just see it - the whole war machine on Coruscant, enermous police force brutalising population heard the news of death and everybody like: ok, moving to a next thing... Don't care. And why in the name of all they're celebrating on Tatooine? Isn't it supposed to be on outer rim, where law doesn't work and cities consist of scum and villainy und such? Dear god, so stupid ending
My Dad who passed away about two months ago wasn't a big star wars fan, but he loved the music. His favorite one was the Victory Celebration theme. Now I can't help but think of him every time I listen to it. Edit: Omg I forgot I even made this comment. Thank you all so much for your kind words.
@@mysteriousdude6296 because actually anakin brought balance to the force by killing the jedis and the siths, If a new Jedi order was created again the effort of anakin would have been for nothing.
I get goosebumps during the 2011 ending when i see the jedi temple in the background and than I see Anakin's force ghost. It really sends a message that people can be redeemed and deserve a second chance whether it is in life or death.
I'm gonna say it, I liked that they added young Anakin (Hayden Christensen). Feels good to see him in these Jedi Robes, realizing he's free and was forgiven. A lot more emotional than seeing Sebastian Shaw imo.
Also, no disrespect to Shaw but he looked too old as well. It's like they made him look he was the same age as Obi Wan or something. When Anakin died, he was like 45 year old. I wouldn't even be surprised if he still looked Young considering Qui Gone was 60 in TPM yet he looked 30.
Yep. For me it ends at the Mandalorian. It does lead up to the sequel trilogy, but they pretty much defeated the whole New Empire (sorry spoilers) so that’s basically the end for me. Return of the Jedi was the end, and the Mandalorian was a double end.
I love the 2011 version more cuz the music is more touching for an ending, the scenes of all the galaxy celebrating the fall of emperor Palpatine's tyrany are perfect, they help to conect with everything that we've seen till this point and having Episode III Anakin as a force ghost goes better with it since this was the way he look right before he got tainted by the dark side.
I just like the 2011 one better. Within a few seconds, Hayden made sure we felt the love Anakin had for the children he never come to know as a father. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
I cannot get past all the quick cuts in the 2011 version when leia and Han reunite with Luke and everyone is hugging each other. They keep cutting over to c3po and r2, nothing is allowed a moment to build the emotions and resonate with the characters feelings between one another; it feels like a choppy compilation. No shot lasts more than a few seconds. It completely ruins the pacing up to that point. I’m not all the old version is better in every way, but all the editing they did right there in the new one feels so bizarre.
Julian Shipp Jr He’s probably about to be executed which might explain the fact that there is someone willhem screaming at 3:55 because he was a stormtrooper and he was thrown down Coruscant
I grew up on the special editions, so those will always be nostalgic to me. I do like how they don’t cut away in the original, but the music is so much better to me in the remastered
SE is a bit different as Sebastian Shaw is in the final scene and Ian McDiarmid isn't retconned into Ep. V like he was in 2004, but other than that they are pretty much the same. Theatrical and '97 versions deserve Blurays IMO.
@@drlca6601Absolutely agree! I was lucky enough to get the box set with the original theatrical versions on DVD but I would love to have the Special Editions also as I only have them on VHS. So much better than when they went back and started changing bits unnecessarily.
My dream ending would be 2011 with Sebastian Shaw in it. His benevolent fatherly look on his twins always gives me chills. A thing I desired so much since my father died before I saw RotJ.
You don't have to "dream" about it. That version exists, it's the 1997 Star Wars Trilogy Special Editions one. Though I don't know if it's still easily available, given that it's basically been superseded by the 2004 Star Wars Trilogy DVD version (which is essentially the same as the 2011 Blu-Ray release shown in this video).
He was 80 odd years old when he played Anakin Skywalker, a character only in his 40s at this point. So if we are to assume we are seeing the restored version of anakin in his 40s he's more likely going to look like hayden than the elderly Sebastian shaw
The 2011 version showing prequel locations like Naboo and Coruscant really ties up both trilogies as a whole. Thank you George Lucas for creating such an amazing story.
If Vader hadn't died, just imagine the reactions of all the rebels on Endor because he has in some way shape or form fucked them over. Even though Luke redeemed him, Vader still killed his aunt and uncle, his mentor, and cut off his right hand. Then you have Leia, who Vader tortured for information and then destroyed her home planet. Then all of a sudden, she finds out he's her father. And then you've got Han, who Vader tortured and put in carbonite before letting Boba Fett take him to Jabba the Hutt for three years. Then Lando, who was just trying to protect the citizens of Bespin, then Vader just kept screwing him over and made him look like a huge, sell-out dickhead. Even fucking Chewbacca, who Vader put into a chamber with loud, screeching noises and since Wookiees are based around dogs, we can imagine he has extremely sensitive hearing. In all honesty, the only person who would have a positive reaction to seeing Anakin would be either R2 or 3PO, who just kind of knew Vader before he became a clunky robot servant with his dick burned off. All around, the party on Endor would have been more awkward than when Travis Bickle took his girlfriend to a porn theater.
Never thought that way. Obi-Wan let him kill himself. Darth Vader isn't technically Anakin. Everything bad he did was as "Darth Vader", controlled by Sidious. At the end of the movie, Anakin was stronger than Darth Vader, and he took his body back.
In one of the comics it actually shows Vader ( or should I say Anakin) returning as a force ghost to Leía. She wanted nothing to do with him after all, he was partially responsible for the destruction of Alderaan and hated him for also torturing Han back on Bespin. It took awhile for her to forgive and wasn’t until he found young Anakin’s journals and found out that he had a lot of good within him. That’s when she decided to forgive him.
2011 was the perfect ending to the empire, Deathstar 2 gone, Palpatine and Vader gone, whole galaxy celebrating and then they just ruined it by bringing back the empire in the form of the First Order w/ another Death Star . Why couldn't they just have a new threat?
HFYYN like I said, First Order is basically the Empire (stormtroopers, starkiller base etc.) not necessarily what I would consider a new threat. We've seen it all before.
One thing that kinda irks me is that. Yub Nub was made by both John Williams and his son Joesph Williams. And the final song in the Star Wars trilogy being a collaboration between father and son feels very fitting and reflects the theme of the movie very well. And I hate how that was just erased like that.
Righto Righto you prefer creepy young Anakin? Lol look, for someone watching Star Wars in episodic order, Hayden makes more sense. Hell, use CGI Yoda and Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan lol. Release order? Use Sebastian Shaw.
2011 is definitely better. The music is beautiful, and I also think it makes more sense to have Hayden appear as he is the Anakin we all know, and have followed throughout the movies
Darth Batman but he didnt look like a normal shaw. He had high degree burns and a huge scar on his head, thats how he died, so it makes no sense to put him as the normal unscared shaw either.
I’ll never forget watching that scene for the first time as a kid. It definitely got to me. This was before the prequels. The prequels really added to the sadness yet happiness in seeing him burn after his redemption. If anything that scene really reminds of why I fell in love with Star Wars. RIP Star Wars, I’m sorry Kathleen Kennedy happened to you. 😢
This is soo nostalgic. I remember first watching the original trilogie in the 2000s. And the new ending a few years later. The first time I watched the films, my father was still alive. The second time, the cremation of his father becomes a whole mew level in my world.
Regardless of the version, what a great ending to the saga. I hope they don't screw it up someday by making some lackluster sequels that undo all of this.
I haven’t seen the original in years!! I’m old enough to remember watching Star Wars in ‘77 as a schoolboy. The ending, although kinda low key always felt satisfying to me. I think people of my age actually thought this was the end!!
Who cared ? Anakin Skywalker's seduction, into the Darkside of The Force, never tasted appealing. However, Ben 'Obi-Wan" Kenobi was of greater interest to me. What made him "The Only One"?⁷
There is no question that the newer ending is better. The older one is a somewhat comical and light hearted scene. The music in the newer one is beautiful and more emotional. It helps create a scene that is both joyous and sad at the same time.
1983 feeling like a major victory and the beginning of the end for the Empire. 2011 makes it seem like the war is totally over. Surely a lot of these planets would be under imperial control still because there’s a lot more fighting to do.
This ending makes me hate 7 and 8. In 6, Anakin coming backing to the light, the Fall of the empire, RETURE OF THE JEDI!! Just to find out were back were we started😧
@@dramos8847 In the next Star Wars movie the Emperor isn't dead, Anakin's role to balance the Force basically didn't happen. Palpatine still lived and Anakin's sacrifice was all in vain...
I think anikan throwing Palpatine like 1000 feet down then a massive explosion should have killed him dont ya think. But noo disney says lets bring him back to life

For some reason it makes me especially happy that Wedge is there and is getting hugs too.
Indeed, Wedge deserves a good retirement, he survived all death star attacks and is awesome in the non-canon comics (which was canon then).
Just noticed in the 1983 version Wedge didn't had a hug from Luke, so the 2011 version corrected it too
Shame he wasn't in the newer films :(
Its because of the X-wing books isnt it?

2011 version seems to be the favorite. It ties everything from episodes 1 through 6 nicely and serves as a poignant reminder that we never needed an episode 7. This is the Star Wars I want to remember, not what it has become.
Mandalorian is pretty good.
The mistake was not to make a new trilogy but to decide that this trilogy should be part of the "Skywalker Saga". Why not just tell a whole new story about the Old Republic or High Republic? All the Sith Wars or Hyperspace War would be a great setting for a new trilogy. But no, they wanted to continue a finished story instead.
@@immermitderruhe especially palpatines return was a mistake that's the whole reason of anakins/vaders death.
This is the true ending to Star Wars
mandalorian is boring.
3:46 i love hearing that bell sound cause it means the start of a new era
The fact that the jedi temple is still standing in the 2011 version is amazing.
in canon, it was turned into the imperial palace, tho it was left in ruins in legends
2011 ending gets me everytime. I can't just help but drop some tears. Really. The tender music, these little bear-like creatudes dancing with all their innocence, soldiers dancing and Luke, victorious, watching his masters and his redeemed father looking at him proudly. Just beautiful.
innocence.. ewoks and innocence do not go together 😂

2011 ending is objectively better.
@ARandomInternetUser08 It's the only alteration to the OT that I liked.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 I can't really argue with that. The CGI changes in ANH especially were a little strange.
I love both endings, 1983 ending is a more cultural-esque ceremony for the Ewoks, their celebration, then there is Sebastian Shaw standing there, we get to see how Anakin looked like without his burns and scars, and in his Jedi ceremonial robes, the 2011 version on the other hand, shows the whole Galaxy celebrating the fall of the Empire, the song has more meaning and is more melancholical, a true way to end a trilogy and give us a sense of a happy ending, then there's Hayden Christensen, showing that Anakin truly died when he killed Mace Windu, but then returned (thus being Return of the Jedi) when he, as the Chosen One, killed both Darth Vader and Darth Sidious, i hope he's finally reunited with Padmé in the Force Afterlife and they're both happy with eachother.
I figure the Force afterlife is only

Padmee was not force sensitive so that’s not gonna happen sadly
This man just said cristian Haydenson besides that great comment
@@deesnuts1 Two years later and i've never noticed, and in these two years i've always have been confused by how his name is actually spelled lmao.
When you die you just become part of the force. The only way to avoid this is by becoming a five ghost, and I’m pretty sure that’s temporary.
3:39 You can hear Jar Jar say "weesa free!"
I can hear a Gungan.
I would just say "a Gungan" because I don't think that's Jar Jar. It must be another Gungan.

The 2011 version really felt like it tied into the saga as a whole. It was so beautiful I legit started crying.
Whaaaat? Luke doesn't even know who the fuck is the third spirit at 5:17. Doesn't make any sense to see Hayden Christensen there!
2011 was the sh*ts. What were you crying about? How he butchered his masterpieces with all this crap additions that his kids came up with.
@@jesusfrancoHe actually knows bc between ep 5 and 6 it was revealed that Luke had read Obi Wan's book, and that book contained basically all the information that he needed, as well as Anakin previous physical aspect
@@jesusfrancoAre you saying that Anakin’s force ghost shouldn’t be Hayden Christensen because Luke never knew what he looked like? Because I hope you know how little sense that makes.
How come he's the only force ghost not to resemble his age and appearance at death?
The addition of more sound in the 2011 version does a subtle job but adds so much camaraderie, you can practically feel it. Instead of just silence and music, you can hear Han and Lando laughing as they embrace; Chewie's roars are louder and crisper, even a few of the extra hugs can have their slaps and pats heard, and during almost all of it, you can hear the whole cast's laughter and chatter in the background. You can hear the happiness of the people and characters we've come to know and love, and that makes the scene feel so much better.
The music was already there in 1997
The 2011 felt some much more right and heart felt
The Conquistador I agree
The Conquistador true
Except for Hayden
The only thing that didn’t make sense was the planets celebrating. The Death Star was gone, but the Empire was still large and had a tight grip on the galaxy. Still was more heart felt and felt like a celebration moment, in which they won, and felt right
The Conquistador I guess because anikan force ghost in that looks the same as him in the other films
Obviously the 2011 there’s a lot more incredible “art” going on but what I really like is how Hayden appears cause after what we’ve seen (now) in 1-3, he’s the Anakin we’ve all grown to love… or hate. But love the fact that Luke can look upon his bad ass “good” father finally.
It‘s crazy how it all tied up so well, never for us to see these characters ever again.
Man, sometimes i wish for sequels but something in me say that would be a horrible mistake with terribly script. Ha, you could imagine it? Something like The Emperor coming back, I'm glad we live in a reality where that never happened
@@JustGarbo14 Such a return of an old Villain for whom it literally took 6 movies to kill , is just trash .It not only is a dumb, over-used storyline but it even makes no meaning out of OT .

That is until Disney got their greedy hands on them.

No handshake between Luke and Han. Straight to a hug.
Also I know people get upset that the Hayden anakin is used at the end. But people who watch 1-6 for the first time in that order love it. My wife literally cried seeing younger Anakin redeemed and returned to his former self. Beautiful stuff. 2011 ending is way better.
Am I the only one who likes the 2011 ending more than the 1983 ending?
Gugel Acaont you're not the only one man
Lucio Padilla Rojas Glad to hear that :)
The 2011 ending is really great, save for Anakin looking to his left when he should be looking to his right. Seems he was not well directed in that scene.
+Rockwars10 What are you talking about? He is looking straight at his son.
When Hayden first appears it's perfect, he's looking straight at Luke, as Sebastian did (minute 2:06 and 5:20). But it is how Christensen looks to somewhere else (minute 5:27) that I still don't like. Do you notice that his eyes are fixed at a different place?
This is an interesting side note but I absolutely love that Wedge was included in the celebration montage of both endings. Wedge is by far one of the most underrated Star Wars heroes, he was arguably just as important to blowing up the second Death Star as Lando Calrissian and Nien Numb were.
Wedge is a G in movies and EU. I love Wedge!

I get goosebumps during the 2011 ending when i see the jedi temple in the background and than I see Anakin's force ghost. It really sends a message that people can be redeemed and deserve a second chance whether it is in life or death.

0:30 bro is now very high cooked steak
I'm gonna say it, I liked that they added young Anakin (Hayden Christensen). Feels good to see him in these Jedi Robes, realizing he's free and was forgiven. A lot more emotional than seeing Sebastian Shaw imo.
Jo Harvelle same
The force ghost of Young Anakin Skywalker is way better than that other dude next to Yoda on the left in 1983
I think also in the 1983 version when Vader dies, it shows his eyebrows
Jo Harvelle anakin had time to change clothes? If you remember in RotS he had black robes but in the 2011 release anakin had beige and brown robes.
Also, no disrespect to Shaw but he looked too old as well. It's like they made him look he was the same age as Obi Wan or something. When Anakin died, he was like 45 year old. I wouldn't even be surprised if he still looked Young considering Qui Gone was 60 in TPM yet he looked 30.
Fuck Disney Star Wars ends here.
Yep. For me it ends at the Mandalorian. It does lead up to the sequel trilogy, but they pretty much defeated the whole New Empire (sorry spoilers) so that’s basically the end for me. Return of the Jedi was the end, and the Mandalorian was a double end.
I'm not sorry the sequels will never be the ending for me
I like to put them in the part of my mind where I keep the memory of Jar Jar Binks
@michael cooper agreed
@michael cooper true. Disney owes us three apologies, one for each hideous movie.
I love the 2011 version more cuz the music is more touching for an ending, the scenes of all the galaxy celebrating the fall of emperor Palpatine's tyrany are perfect, they help to conect with everything that we've seen till this point and having Episode III Anakin as a force ghost goes better with it since this was the way he look right before he got tainted by the dark side.
May you rest well with the force, Carrie Fisher.🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐
I just like the 2011 one better. Within a few seconds, Hayden made sure we felt the love Anakin had for the children he never come to know as a father. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
I like it too because Anakin truly died when he became Darth Vader just like Kenobi said to Luke on Dagoba
I cannot get past all the quick cuts in the 2011 version when leia and Han reunite with Luke and everyone is hugging each other. They keep cutting over to c3po and r2, nothing is allowed a moment to build the emotions and resonate with the characters feelings between one another; it feels like a choppy compilation. No shot lasts more than a few seconds. It completely ruins the pacing up to that point. I’m not all the old version is better in every way, but all the editing they did right there in the new one feels so bizarre.
@@patricksnoring4739 just cram as much stuff in as possible

And also makes sense: Anakin is trying to give Luke closure.

Julian Shipp Jr He’s probably about to be executed which might explain the fact that there is someone willhem screaming at 3:55 because he was a stormtrooper and he was thrown down Coruscant

I grew up on the special editions, so those will always be nostalgic to me. I do like how they don’t cut away in the original, but the music is so much better to me in the remastered
SE is a bit different as Sebastian Shaw is in the final scene and Ian McDiarmid isn't retconned into Ep. V like he was in 2004, but other than that they are pretty much the same. Theatrical and '97 versions deserve Blurays IMO.
@@drlca6601Absolutely agree! I was lucky enough to get the box set with the original theatrical versions on DVD but I would love to have the Special Editions also as I only have them on VHS. So much better than when they went back and started changing bits unnecessarily.
This is exactly how I feel.
They are an abomination.
The 2011 version brought a tear to my eye, the music, the finality of it. I didn’t realize that this was truly the end of Star Wars!
My dream ending would be 2011 with Sebastian Shaw in it.
His benevolent fatherly look on his twins always gives me chills.
A thing I desired so much since my father died before I saw RotJ.
Great comment
You don't have to "dream" about it. That version exists, it's the 1997 Star Wars Trilogy Special Editions one. Though I don't know if it's still easily available, given that it's basically been superseded by the 2004 Star Wars Trilogy DVD version (which is essentially the same as the 2011 Blu-Ray release shown in this video).
He was 80 odd years old when he played Anakin Skywalker, a character only in his 40s at this point. So if we are to assume we are seeing the restored version of anakin in his 40s he's more likely going to look like hayden than the elderly Sebastian shaw
I unironically love Yub Nub, I’m so sad It was cut out.
The 2011 version showing prequel locations like Naboo and Coruscant really ties up both trilogies as a whole. Thank you George Lucas for creating such an amazing story.
If Vader hadn't died, just imagine the reactions of all the rebels on Endor because he has in some way shape or form fucked them over.
Even though Luke redeemed him, Vader still killed his aunt and uncle, his mentor, and cut off his right hand.
Then you have Leia, who Vader tortured for information and then destroyed her home planet. Then all of a sudden, she finds out he's her father.
And then you've got Han, who Vader tortured and put in carbonite before letting Boba Fett take him to Jabba the Hutt for three years.
Then Lando, who was just trying to protect the citizens of Bespin, then Vader just kept screwing him over and made him look like a huge, sell-out dickhead.
Even fucking Chewbacca, who Vader put into a chamber with loud, screeching noises and since Wookiees are based around dogs, we can imagine he has extremely sensitive hearing.
In all honesty, the only person who would have a positive reaction to seeing Anakin would be either R2 or 3PO, who just kind of knew Vader before he became a clunky robot servant with his dick burned off.
All around, the party on Endor would have been more awkward than when Travis Bickle took his girlfriend to a porn theater.
Max Isola 3PO didnt know after Episode III anymore
Never thought that way.
Obi-Wan let him kill himself.
Darth Vader isn't technically Anakin. Everything bad he did was as "Darth Vader", controlled by Sidious. At the end of the movie, Anakin was stronger than Darth Vader, and he took his body back.
Diogo David That's right, but many people won't core.
Diogo David Leia didn't forgive him until like 20 years later
In one of the comics it actually shows Vader ( or should I say Anakin) returning as a force ghost to Leía. She wanted nothing to do with him after all, he was partially responsible for the destruction of Alderaan and hated him for also torturing Han back on Bespin. It took awhile for her to forgive and wasn’t until he found young Anakin’s journals and found out that he had a lot of good within him. That’s when she decided to forgive him.
I love how the jedi Temple looks unchanged and how they brought light to the temple. Putting Return, in Return of the Jedi.
There was something about the 2011 ending that just felt very fullfilling. That is where the saga truly ended
Lucas made a perfect ending saga with 2011 version. Thanks George for your brillant vision and good job.
2011 was the perfect ending to the empire, Deathstar 2 gone, Palpatine and Vader gone, whole galaxy celebrating and then they just ruined it by bringing back the empire in the form of the First Order w/ another Death Star . Why couldn't they just have a new threat?
The First Order is the new threat.
HFYYN like I said, First Order is basically the Empire (stormtroopers, starkiller base etc.) not necessarily what I would consider a new threat. We've seen it all before.
*at least until Thrawn returns, Palpatine Clones himself, Yzongvong, Krayt..*
“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”
Thrawn was the new threat, the 1st order doesn't hold a candle to that series.

One thing that kinda irks me is that. Yub Nub was made by both John Williams and his son Joesph Williams.

Anakin died a Jedi in episode 3. That’s how he looked.
yes but that knight anakin was more pure than old anakin
Darth Batman but he didnt look like a normal shaw. He had high degree burns and a huge scar on his head, thats how he died, so it makes no sense to put him as the normal unscared shaw either.
This change was completely justified. Best ending to a story EVER.
This is the Star Wars I fell in love with
Watching Vader’s Jedi funeral makes me tear up a little every time. Knowing anakin was redeemed just tugs at the heart strings
I’ll never forget watching that scene for the first time as a kid. It definitely got to me. This was before the prequels. The prequels really added to the sadness yet happiness in seeing him burn after his redemption. If anything that scene really reminds of why I fell in love with Star Wars. RIP Star Wars, I’m sorry Kathleen Kennedy happened to you. 😢
Honestly both version are good but the 2011 version really has the "it's over" feeling

This is soo nostalgic. I remember first watching the original trilogie in the 2000s. And the new ending a few years later. The first time I watched the films, my father was still alive. The second time, the cremation of his father becomes a whole mew level in my world.
Regardless of the version, what a great ending to the saga. I hope they don't screw it up someday by making some lackluster sequels that undo all of this.

I haven’t seen the original in years!! I’m old enough to remember watching Star Wars in ‘77 as a schoolboy. The ending, although kinda low key always felt satisfying to me. I think people of my age actually thought this was the end!!
Who cared ? Anakin Skywalker's seduction, into the Darkside of The Force, never tasted appealing. However, Ben 'Obi-Wan" Kenobi was of greater interest to me. What made him "The Only One"?⁷
"low key" 💀
2011 ending still gives me smile, because they united prequels and originals
I like the meme that shows the younglings killed by Anakin reacting to him showing up in Jedi Heaven. LOL
When you die in Star Wars, you lose your individuality and become part of the force
2011 ending has a much somber and bitter-sweet feeling to it. It actually makes me sad; just in a good way.
There is no question that the newer ending is better. The older one is a somewhat comical and light hearted scene. The music in the newer one is beautiful and more emotional. It helps create a scene that is both joyous and sad at the same time.
Thank you
1983 feeling like a major victory and the beginning of the end for the Empire. 2011 makes it seem like the war is totally over. Surely a lot of these planets would be under imperial control still because there’s a lot more fighting to do.
