interesting fact, when luke is talking to vader after removing his mask, you can hear the blasters in the back, but the thing is, there were no rebeliants on the death star, so the blasters being fired is the sound of stormtroopers killing one another for the place on the spaceships to escape the deathstar that was about to be destroyed
I saw this as a very young kid in the theater in 1983; I was eight years old. There were grown ass men freaking out in the aisles when Luke was getting fried by Palpatine SHOUTING AT THE SCREEN for Vader to help, literally yelling HE'S YOUR SON! HELP HIM! Back then there were no special editions yet and Vader didn't scream no, he just looked between the Emperor and Luke, picked that old asshole up, and hurled his ass into the Death Star. The entire room ROARED in victory, I didn't see an audience react like that until Avengers: Endgame decades later.
Vaders suit was more then just a fashion statement. The suit was packed full of life support tech (the breathing sound was literally him breathing with the assistance of a respirator). It was also designed by the Emperor to hinder Anakins movements and keep him in constant pain so the he couldn't easily rise up against the Emperor. Part of being a Sith is constantly trying to take as much power as possible, so Sith were known to turn on their masters or apprentices fairly commonly as power plays.
Yeah, Vader’s suit was a superconductor for Force Lightning. Anakin was doomed from the moment he turned on the Emperor, and he still made the sacrifice play to save his son (and ultimately bring balance to the Force).
Hell, it was required for a Sith to turn on their master to continue the rule of two. Palpatine broke this line because he was arrogant and saw himself as the epitome of the Sith.
Characters like R2 not talking is part of the charm. You're supposed to interpret the script yourself using clues that C3PO gives to the audience. It's brilliant writing in my opinion
- Watching this was like a bad flashback to watching movies with my ex girlfriend... "Who is that guy? Why is that one speaking another language? Wait, where are they now? I don't understand... what's going on? Why is that one shooting at them? Who is this new guy?" It's like... just stop talking over the film for five seconds, and you'll figure it out. And frankly... that is precisely why she's my EX girlfriend.
Luke’s plan is to send the droids in as a “gift” to get his lightsaber inside (or else it would have been taken from him), send Leia to release Han from the carbon freeze, get captured himself (the Rancor was not planned but he handled it), then escape all together with Lando’s help. Kinda a mess but it all worked out as planned.
some facts about the 2nd deathstar: it was almost twice as big as the first one and apart from not having the obvious designflaw anymore, it had another big advantage. the first DS's main mega-laser planet killer weapon had to recharge 24 hours for another blast. the 2nd just needs a few minutes between blasts.
that's something funny I see people get wrong about it, it has no lethal flaw just like you said. I've seen people argue "how can it be better if the flaw is now big enough to fit a whole ship in it" and they literally forget the fact that it is under construction and still half open lol if it was finished it wouldn't have an achilles heel like the last one did idfk why i added this since everything you said was right but it sparked this thought lol
I thought the quicker blasts were from it using far less power since it was only going for the Mon Cal cruisers and not planets like in New Hope/Rogue One
@@Alexthedragon18 That was probably some of it, but the Death Star did shoot significantly faster just in general - it probably wouldn't have taken more than 20 minutes for a full power blast to recharge
the star wars universe has thousands of languages. the main language is called basic and is the one you saw on the computer screen in the beginning of the movie and most humanoids speak. hutteese is a common language in the outer rim territories and is the native language of the hutts, the species of jabba, the crime boss on tattooine. the language for example R2D2 beeps is called binary and is understood by most computersystems and other droids.
You do get R2D2s personality without understanding him, in fact you could argue that his personality is portrayed so well that you can actually understand him ,Especially when he is being sassy which is like 80% of the time haha. This paired with C3PO translating parts for us is perfect. The 'selling drinks' part for example.
1. Best guess is that Han was Jabba's "trophy" for about a year and a half before the rescue. 2. Vader discovered Leia as Luke's sister because he could feel it through Luke. Luke didn't know that until just before then. 3. Luke's light saber is green because he lost his old one along with his hand so they decided to make it green because it worked better in the desert background landscape. 4. Everybody is freaking out because Luke and Leia kissed mostly because she was trying to piss off Han. They didn't know they are related. 5. The "I love you. I know" was written into the script to get Leia the shot to say it to Han. 6. This was Warrick Davis'/Lead Ewok first acting gig. He was only 13. Willow is his lead with Val Kilmer and worth a first time/share.😎 7. Awesome camera work with the race through the forest. Nobody in their right mind would go that fast. 8. A little corn. Hans' reaction to Leia telling him Luke is her brother. 9. Jedi is plural. With Luke and Leia leading the way they can reestablish the Jedi back into the galaxy. 10. Ford wanted Han to die in this episode. 11. This is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After this he sold it to Disney, and everything changed. Sadly
In the original release and until this special edition, Anakin Skywalker’s ghost at the end looked like a healthy version of the old man in Darth’s suit. He grins directly at Luke proudly and tilts his head towards his friend, Obi Wan. Look for it on TH-cam.
The emperor's overconfidence really was his downfall. Using the force, I peered into the future, saw Vader bringing Luke to him, saw the rebels being captured on Endor and saw Luke striking down Vader in anger... but didn't look beyond those moments.
While ESB is the most popular movie of the original trio, I have a really big soft-spot for Luke and Vader's conversation on Endor (38:22). In Ep4, Vader spent his time being intimidating or commanding; in Ep5, he was a constant, looming presence and got a very extensive fight sequence. But here, seeing the two of them just talk makes for a very thoughtful moment. It's quiet, a little introspective, and I honestly consider it one of the best parts of ROTJ. Like, granted, it's not super-duper deep or anything, and now that we're 40 years removed from the original release of the film, it's not like it's groundbreaking or anything. But it's still really good and effective stuff!
About Leia and Luke kisses, she mentioned somehow she knows. That's means she felt something for him but she cannot explain, a kind of attraction like a connection, an affective love but she doesn't really know they are brothers. This attraction is less of what she felt for Solo. When he told her, she cleared his mind about what was her feelings with Luke. But about the kisses, I belived becase Carrie Fisher was that way. I miss her so much u.u
Jabba is the Gang boss because of his money and control over the "official" leaders in the Hutt controlled area space. He can order their deaths at any time. He is freakishly rich because he has gained control of all the spice mines in Hutt space after all the other gang bosses were killed. For most Hutts, the fatter you are, the higher your status is, and he moves around on his big slab bed because it hovers around. There have been Hutt Jedi and Sith though, and they were actually really fit and physically powerful warriors.
We don't need everything translated for us. We can gather meaning just from context and performance. It's actually more fun to imagine what they're saying, except for key scenes. Just like Vader's "NOOOO" towards the end. That wasn't in the original version of the film. We didn't need the "no" to spell out what Vader was thinking; you could just tell my the editing and the performance, even though you can't even see his face. That is great filmmaking; show, don't tell.
What so many reaction vids fail to see is when Luke attacks Vader it’s not a triumphant scene, it’s a tragic one. As Yoda told Luke anger, fear and aggression are all paths to the dark side. When Vader finds out about Leia it filled Luke with fear. When Vader said that if Luke won’t turn to the dark side perhaps Leia would Luke lashed out at him with aggression/anger because of that fear. You can hear it in the music, by striking as he was and his wild lightsaber swings he was falling to the dark side. Once Vader fell and Luke kept swinging in a full rage he had given into the dark side. That’s why the emperor was happy seeing it. Luke only was able to take a step back from the dark side by seeing how he had become so much like his father.
21:06 - Fun fact about Leia's outfit, she wasn't wearing anything under it. Lucas convinced her to do this because, and I quote, "there's no underwear in space."
The rancor handler was crying because the rancor was basically the dude's pet. People can pair-bond with anything, and have a talent for making friends with other animals. It's like having your dog die while you watch helplessly.
@@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay Yes. I had to watch my dad as he had a vet euthanize his aging German Shepard; she was in constant significant pain and suffering from an untreatable cancer. She was 17 years old, and it was time. She was a good dog, but although she wasn't mine, and I didn't really know her, I still felt the anguish in him as he had to let her go. She was the most bestest.
There was a book of short side stories published a while ago that revealed that the Rancor wasn't a monster, it had just been badly mistreated by Jabba's people. In fact the Rancor's keeper was just about to smuggle it and himself away from the palace and off to a safe new life. He really cared for it which was why he cried at its death. The sad thing is the escape was due to happen the very next day. Luke killed it the day before it could be free and happy.
Regarding Leia being Luke's sister there is some foreshadowing in ESB. Yoda tells Obi-Wan when Luke leaves Dagobah that there is another. Also consider how Luke reaches out to the ONE person who would hear him at the bottom of Cloud City.
Neither Leia nor Jabba were cgi’d in this movie, this movie was made before that was an easy thing to do and definitely not something you could do well, so Jabba was just a huge puppet that multiple people had to control from the inside
I think a lot of the other languages not being translated makes it much more tense, because you're in the exact circumstances as the person who's being spoken to
Jabba was a practical puppet with three puppeteers inside. No CGI on Leia. She had to be kinda still because she kept "popping" out of the metal bikini. lol.
Ppl don't think about it but there was meant to be two at the same time eventually. They started the 2nd one literally during a New Hope and went full tilt once the 1st blew up. The 2nd one was meant to be Palps flagship into the unknown regions, hence why it has his own observation room. Could you imagine if they failed to blow the 1st up and then 4 years later, IF the 1st hasn't ended the alliance already, an even larger one with no faults and can shoot faster shows up lol.
23:15 It's not about fighting Vader, that would make Luke a Jedi.... It's about confronting the Dark Side of the force itself after his training and resisting it's temptations . Since Vader is using the Dark side, Luke must at least confront Vader and reject the Dark side, which always tries to seduce and corrupt a force user. Defeating Vader is not necessary, but he's will be Luke's last test to become a Jedi
@@hijklmnopreaper Then tell me, how were the Jedi in past been tested? They couldn't walk up and fight to a "Dark Jedi" every time to graduate... Remember, they disappeared for hundreds of years...
Great reaction! Thank you! I promised to reveal my most favorite line of all the movies I ever watched in my entire life, after your reaction to ep. 6 … and I’ll keep my promise - it is “I am a Jedi, like my father before me”. I feel a little sad though, seeing you cut it out from your reaction video. In eps. 1, 2 and 3, you’ll learn the story of Darth Vader, just don’t let yourself be influenced by the difference in effects - those came out decades later … and in ep. 7 there are some awesome surprises waiting for you … just be patient - you’ll get there. Follow the story itself. Looking forward to your next reaction. Salutations from Romania …
The text used in the Star Wars is of the fictional language Basic which is "translated" into english for the audience. In the original version of Episode IV: A New Hope, there were english text for the Tractor Beam energy depot but have been swapped out for Basic text to coincide with the other movies, in the DVD Special Edition.
All your questions about Luke's father will be answered in the Prequel Trilogy. I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming reactions. Your barely 1/3 the way through the main trilogy of trilogies and there are still the one-off movies and Obi-Wan Kenobi series, The Mandalorian series, and so many others that continue the lore-building in the galaxy far, far away.
"Baby Yoda" is a boy. His given name was not known during the first season of "The Mandalorian" so everyone online just called him "Baby Yoda" but his actual relation to Yoda is not known for certain.
You may or may not remember that in the first film, Leia was a senator representing her home planet of Alderaan in the Imperial Senate, as her father did before her. The Imperial Senate was a remnant of a legitimate senate that existed before the emperor took over. He kept the senate in place to give the illusion of democracy, even though he was really a dictator. Later in Ep.4 during the meeting on the Death Star, it was mentioned that the emperor had finally done away with the senate altogether, and gave control of planets and solar systems to special Imperial warlords called Moffs, who could rule as they pleased, answering only to the emperor himself. So it's implied that there will be a new senate and democracy.
33:07 every single Force user is actually a psychic... Sensing fragments of the distant future is one possible ability for any of them if they trained well Force user are able to sense events, movements etc. moments before they happen, that's why they look like having great reflexes... like Spiderman's spider sense There were Jedi either focusing their training on force abilities, while others rather prefer sword fighting
Funny enough, the Emperor was very much a quantity over quality kind of guy. Stormtrooper armor is made of some kind of plastic alloy that can be mass produced and is only designed to protect against basic blaster fire, and it doesn't even work that well against that. So yeah, sharp arrows and big, heavy rocks are going to do plenty of damage to them.
Obi-Wan Never intended for Luke to interact with Darth Vader until he was fully trained as a Jedi by Yoda so that he wouldn't be tempted by his father to turn to the dark side. Not telling him Darth Vader was his father was a tactic to keep Luke away from Vader.
little context for why vader is so whipped early on by the emporer: he has f'd up vaders life in so many ways and tormented and tortured him both physically and emotionally so thats why he says "it is pointless to resist my son" vader has tried to rise up against the emporer multiple times and every time he gets bitched hard the emporer is actually so powerful he just never expected vader to turn against him here
Thing with the Dark Side really is like you completely lose your mind. But if one can hold it together, it's possible to weild both sides but it always messes things up. That stuff is explored later. Vader's redemption is the only time a full blown Sith Lord returned to the light, so it somewhat opened up this possibility of keeping your head while also being full dark side... I think of it like being hypnotized... Or like dark side mind trick that's all-encompassing and is done to the self ... or often egged on by a powerful minded Sith Lord like The Emperor.... Its not that the Emperor lost his tact, he's just doing a full blown mind -trick.
In the scene with Han and Lando talking, with the Falcon in the background, you were thinking of matte painting and you are right. There is a bit of a lack of depth perception which makes it more noticeable than it should be.
7:04 don for r2 and chewbacca and other characters that dont speak english its part of the charm to where you can imagine and interpret what they say to fill in the blank, its part of the charm of those characters :)
Don: "So every single jedi has had to confront their enemy to become an actual jedi?" Yoda: "My own council on whatever bullshit as I go make up I will keep."
A lot of your questions will probably be answered by the Prequels. Yes, the man at the end was Anakin, Luke’s father. Originally it was the actor you see when he’s unmasked (Sebastian Shaw), only looking much more human and healthy looking than he did when he took the helmet off. They replaced him in later releases of the film with a different actor. One of the many issues people have with these later “Special Editions” of these movies is that they alter stuff from the classic films. This might not be so bad if the original unedited versions were readily available, but they aren’t. A lot of the shoddy, dated CGI (which you surprisingly enough didn’t seem to pick out among all the times you mentioned stuff in the movie that decidedly WASN’T CGI lol) was a result of Lucas trying to perfect his vision of the movies and better align them with the Prequel films that came out after. Many of the planets in that montage at the end are from the Prequels, for example. Most fans pick and choose which edits they like and don’t like from each version.
43:03 dude you nailed it! The emperor foresees everything except the value of connection and valuing this society and what that benefits vs the theory of domination dictatorship.
Fun fact, the answer to how Vader found out Luke is his son is in the comics, after new hope Vader wants to hunt down the group that destroyed the Death Star so he hires a bounty hunter called boba fett, at the time he was completely oblivious to who Luke was and what his name was, when boba fett found Luke he managed to hear his last name as he escaped, with this information and tells Vader the boys name, and at that moment vader realized they had the same last name
Keep in mind that the prequels take place before the Empire, so there is no emperor and no rebel alliance. Instead, the ruling government is the Republic, which is a representative government with a galactic senate made up of senators from all the member planets (though not every planet in the galaxy is part of the Republic, especially the farthest outlying star systems). The leader of the senate is the Supreme Chancellor, kind of like the elected president or prime minister of the galaxy. There is no military because there's been peace for 1,000 years, thanks to the Jedi Knights who serve the Republic, but exist apart from it with its own rules and traditions. Centuries before, they defeated their ancient enemies, the Dark Lords of the Sith, who used the dark side of the Force to try to conquer the galaxy. It's believed that the Jedi wiped out the Sith, who used the title Darth. (In the comics and trading cards that came out in the 70s and 80s, Darth Vader is described as a Sith lord.) By the time of Ep.1, the senate has become corrupt and ineffective. Wealthy and powerful corporations are so influential that they even have their own members of congress, who manipulate the laws to their advantage while the voices of the people go ignored. One of these corporations is the greedy Trade Federation, which controls most of the trade routes through the galaxy. They are the apparent new villains, but they are secretly in cahoots with a familiar-looking hooded figure who not even the Jedi are aware of, and who is pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
57:26 You have seen the planet and the city. It's Moss Eisley at Tatooine. The first Planet (City) we see in the later added celebration sequence is Bespin (Landos Cloud City from Empire strikes back,) followed by Tatooine (Mos Eisley Spaceport, 0:54), Naboo (Theed, 1:01), Coruscant (Monument Plaza, 1:08). You will see more of Naboo and Coruscant later on.
We saw Jabba move in the first movie, when he catches up with Han at the Falcon. He moves much like a slug; kind of undulating along. Baby Yoda is not actually the name of the character. He didn't have a name but he is the same species as Yoda, so people just called him Baby Yoda, even though he is not necessarily related to Yoda directly. It's not so much that a Jedi has to defeat an enemy to become a Jedi, it's that a Jedi must face trials which are unique to his own experience. He must confront his own darkness and resist the temptation to fall to the dark side of the Force. It's more of an internal thing. Luke could have a kid to train, but the galaxy needs far more than what he can produce. He needs to pass on the training to other Force-sensitive beings across the galaxy to bring back the Jedi Order. This was a large part of his story in the novels and comics that came afterward, before Disney threw it all out the window a few years ago.
The language in Star Wars is called Galactic Basic. The alphabet you see on the computer screen is called Aurabesh. The characters are translated one-to-one with the 26 letter A-Z alphabet. The words are actually English once you translate the Aurabesh characters into letters.
The sith dynamic is explored more in the prequels but essentially modern sith have the "rule of two" that there can only be two real sith, or darths, a master and an apprentice, when the apprentice becomes powerful they kill the master and becoming the master takes an apprentice initiating the cycle again. Sidious, the emperor, knew this very well and since he now knew Luke that was much younger and didn't have Vader's limitations so he wanted to replace Vader with Luke doing tje opposite of the rule of two since he obviously wanted to remain in power
Kenny Baker, the guy inside r2d2, had to say lines on set to then be beeped over to help other actors with their lines and responses, but he made r2 just sweary as can be for the shits and gigs lmao
Just gotta say, I absolutely love your reactions. Watched your LOTR and some Spy x Family videos and you always some some shi that I'd never thought of before and would never think even if I watched them over and over again. 55:40 "Prince Luke?" had me DYING
Vader didn't know at first that Luke was his son. The Emperor is the one that told Vader that he sensed that Luke was the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.
I don’t think that every Jedi has had to confront his/her enemy. I suspect what Yoda meant was that Luke had to confront and put to rest unresolved turmoil. In his case, that required confrontation with his father.
You gotta remember, when Obi Wan Kenobi told Luke in the first Star Wars movie that Darth Vader killed Luke's father -- that was the intended truth. It was only with the second movie that the writer of the movie thought to go with the plot twist of Vader being Luke's father.... so they had to ret-con the discrepancy. Hence, Obi Wan's "What I told you was true from a certain point of view."_
Jabba wasn't CGI in this movie. Now in the first movie they did redo the movie and added some CGI Jabba slugging around but it's already dated looking. This movie just has practical effects with Jabba. CGI wasn't a thing really in the 80s. Well not the way it is now with computers... Back then computers were just word processors and calculators.
the written language you have seen is called Aurabesh and yes it's an actual writing system that you can translate on the internet. Some hardcore nerds can even read it fluently
5:12 the reason vader talked about killing the emperor is because of the ancient sith law (the rule of two) where it can only be the master and apprentice, so if luke joined vader hed have to kill the emperor to keep this rule
From what I understand. The part about Luke and Leia being siblings was a retcon that was made as this movie was actually going to be two movies originally. In the original Luke was going to find a charecter that was going to actually be his sister and train or something but it was just retconned so that Leia was his sister. I may be remembering wrong though. The retcon does makes the parts in the previous movies where Luke and Leia kiss weird. But keep in mind that was before the retcon.
interesting fact, when luke is talking to vader after removing his mask, you can hear the blasters in the back, but the thing is, there were no rebeliants on the death star, so the blasters being fired is the sound of stormtroopers killing one another for the place on the spaceships to escape the deathstar that was about to be destroyed
That's dark af
That's also why no one cares about a dying vader
Where did you get that info? It seems more like an editing slip up then a conscious decision.
@@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay always was a dark series

Nothing involving Jabba was CGI. He was one giant pratical effect. It required the use of both animatronics and actual puppeteers to make Jabba work.

Jabba is the Gang boss because of his money and control over the "official" leaders in the Hutt controlled area space. He can order their deaths at any time. He is freakishly rich because he has gained control of all the spice mines in Hutt space after all the other gang bosses were killed. For most Hutts, the fatter you are, the higher your status is, and he moves around on his big slab bed because it hovers around. There have been Hutt Jedi and Sith though, and they were actually really fit and physically powerful warriors.
Obi-Wan probably didn't want Luke to know until he completed his Jedi training. Learning something like that might push you towards the dark side.
We don't need everything translated for us. We can gather meaning just from context and performance. It's actually more fun to imagine what they're saying, except for key scenes.
Just like Vader's "NOOOO" towards the end. That wasn't in the original version of the film. We didn't need the "no" to spell out what Vader was thinking; you could just tell my the editing and the performance, even though you can't even see his face. That is great filmmaking; show, don't tell.
when luke said "then my father is truly dead", i like to think that when Vader looked off into the horizon he was crying underneath his helmet
What so many reaction vids fail to see is when Luke attacks Vader it’s not a triumphant scene, it’s a tragic one. As Yoda told Luke anger, fear and aggression are all paths to the dark side. When Vader finds out about Leia it filled Luke with fear. When Vader said that if Luke won’t turn to the dark side perhaps Leia would Luke lashed out at him with aggression/anger because of that fear.
You can hear it in the music, by striking as he was and his wild lightsaber swings he was falling to the dark side. Once Vader fell and Luke kept swinging in a full rage he had given into the dark side. That’s why the emperor was happy seeing it. Luke only was able to take a step back from the dark side by seeing how he had become so much like his father.
21:06 - Fun fact about Leia's outfit, she wasn't wearing anything under it. Lucas convinced her to do this because, and I quote, "there's no underwear in space."
Ur telling me palpating is freeballing under his cloak?
The rancor handler was crying because the rancor was basically the dude's pet. People can pair-bond with anything, and have a talent for making friends with other animals. It's like having your dog die while you watch helplessly.
I know that feeling. It's heartbreaking, especially when you feel their last breath come out.
@@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay Yes. I had to watch my dad as he had a vet euthanize his aging German Shepard; she was in constant significant pain and suffering from an untreatable cancer. She was 17 years old, and it was time. She was a good dog, but although she wasn't mine, and I didn't really know her, I still felt the anguish in him as he had to let her go. She was the most bestest.
There was a book of short side stories published a while ago that revealed that the Rancor wasn't a monster, it had just been badly mistreated by Jabba's people. In fact the Rancor's keeper was just about to smuggle it and himself away from the palace and off to a safe new life. He really cared for it which was why he cried at its death.
The sad thing is the escape was due to happen the very next day. Luke killed it the day before it could be free and happy.
Regarding Leia being Luke's sister there is some foreshadowing in ESB. Yoda tells Obi-Wan when Luke leaves Dagobah that there is another. Also consider how Luke reaches out to the ONE person who would hear him at the bottom of Cloud City.
About that. Obi-Wan says there "That boy is a our only hope" and Yoda replies "No, there is another" I thought he meant Anakin as so
Neither Leia nor Jabba were cgi’d in this movie, this movie was made before that was an easy thing to do and definitely not something you could do well, so Jabba was just a huge puppet that multiple people had to control from the inside
I think a lot of the other languages not being translated makes it much more tense, because you're in the exact circumstances as the person who's being spoken to
In the highest-pitched voice possible: "is that her body?!" lololololol
Jabba was a practical puppet with three puppeteers inside. No CGI on Leia. She had to be kinda still because she kept "popping" out of the metal bikini. lol.
Ppl don't think about it but there was meant to be two at the same time eventually. They started the 2nd one literally during a New Hope and went full tilt once the 1st blew up. The 2nd one was meant to be Palps flagship into the unknown regions, hence why it has his own observation room. Could you imagine if they failed to blow the 1st up and then 4 years later, IF the 1st hasn't ended the alliance already, an even larger one with no faults and can shoot faster shows up lol.
Anny redeemed himself and finally became a force ghost. :3
Honestly just subscribed to your Patreon yesterday for star wars alone, I can’t wait to see more.
23:15 It's not about fighting Vader, that would make Luke a Jedi....
It's about confronting the Dark Side of the force itself after his training and resisting it's temptations .
Since Vader is using the Dark side, Luke must at least confront Vader and reject the Dark side, which always tries to seduce and corrupt a force user.
Defeating Vader is not necessary, but he's will be Luke's last test to become a Jedi
@@hijklmnopreaper Then tell me, how were the Jedi in past been tested? They couldn't walk up and fight to a "Dark Jedi" every time to graduate...
Remember, they disappeared for hundreds of years...
Yessss finally thank you can't wait to see your prequels reaction
You made a point I never thought, do the stormtrooper break room just resinate with all the gossip they heard? Hehehe, great idea.
Dude, your reaction was fun. Your genuine interest was awesome. Keep upyour brand of reactions.
I absolutely LOVE your Star Wars videos! TH-cam must know me well because whenever you post them they come up #1 on my recommended!
I’m so excited for revenge of the sith love the videos ❤
I just looked through your playlists and damn bro I cannot wait to binge your content after this!! 100 PERCENT SUBBING
I love that you sang along to the intro, i always do the same thing 😁😁😁
I love your reactions, they are so entertaining and fun!
Great reaction! Thank you!
I promised to reveal my most favorite line of all the movies I ever watched in my entire life, after your reaction to ep. 6 … and I’ll keep my promise - it is “I am a Jedi, like my father before me”. I feel a little sad though, seeing you cut it out from your reaction video.
In eps. 1, 2 and 3, you’ll learn the story of Darth Vader, just don’t let yourself be influenced by the difference in effects - those came out decades later … and in ep. 7 there are some awesome surprises waiting for you … just be patient - you’ll get there. Follow the story itself.
Looking forward to your next reaction.
Salutations from Romania …
he can't show too much from the movie for copyright reasons that's why I assume he didn't show the line
The text used in the Star Wars is of the fictional language Basic which is "translated" into english for the audience. In the original version of Episode IV: A New Hope, there were english text for the Tractor Beam energy depot but have been swapped out for Basic text to coincide with the other movies, in the DVD Special Edition.
The Skywalkers definitely don't do incest in purpose Don, god damn you're amazing 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Phantom menace is one of my favorite childhood movies
Don: "let me know if i can be a voice actor"
Instantly me: "imagine C3P0 entering the scene and his first words are 'aigh, BOOM!' 😂"
So at the end they actually digitally added Hayden Christiansen's (actor who plays Anakin in the prequels) face onto Anakin's body
All your questions about Luke's father will be answered in the Prequel Trilogy. I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming reactions. Your barely 1/3 the way through the main trilogy of trilogies and there are still the one-off movies and Obi-Wan Kenobi series, The Mandalorian series, and so many others that continue the lore-building in the galaxy far, far away.
Rogue One is a reaction i’m looking forward too tbh.
"Baby Yoda" is a boy. His given name was not known during the first season of "The Mandalorian" so everyone online just called him "Baby Yoda" but his actual relation to Yoda is not known for certain.
56:23 the look on Han’s face while you have this conversation is priceless
He's crying from shock he did not expect Luke to kill the rancor
Awesome reaction of my favorite Star Wars movie!!!!!
the emporer is so powerful with the force he can feel and see things happening on other planets and even in the future
You may or may not remember that in the first film, Leia was a senator representing her home planet of Alderaan in the Imperial Senate, as her father did before her. The Imperial Senate was a remnant of a legitimate senate that existed before the emperor took over. He kept the senate in place to give the illusion of democracy, even though he was really a dictator.
Later in Ep.4 during the meeting on the Death Star, it was mentioned that the emperor had finally done away with the senate altogether, and gave control of planets and solar systems to special Imperial warlords called Moffs, who could rule as they pleased, answering only to the emperor himself.
So it's implied that there will be a new senate and democracy.
33:07 every single Force user is actually a psychic... Sensing fragments of the distant future is one possible ability for any of them if they trained well
Force user are able to sense events, movements etc. moments before they happen, that's why they look like having great reflexes... like Spiderman's spider sense
There were Jedi either focusing their training on force abilities, while others rather prefer sword fighting
Funny enough, the Emperor was very much a quantity over quality kind of guy. Stormtrooper armor is made of some kind of plastic alloy that can be mass produced and is only designed to protect against basic blaster fire, and it doesn't even work that well against that. So yeah, sharp arrows and big, heavy rocks are going to do plenty of damage to them.
None of the creatures are CGI, very little is actually used in the movie, which it why it stands up.
Obi-Wan Never intended for Luke to interact with Darth Vader until he was fully trained as a Jedi by Yoda so that he wouldn't be tempted by his father to turn to the dark side. Not telling him Darth Vader was his father was a tactic to keep Luke away from Vader.
Jabba is not CGI, it is practical effects. How does a slug move? How they all move, with their slime.
ah, slime! that explains it 🙄
4:40
Ben didn't tell Luke because he was not ready, neither for the challenge or for the mental burden.
your question at the start, vader didn’t know luke was his son until the emperor told him in ESB so kenobi didn’t think he’d know
little context for why vader is so whipped early on by the emporer: he has f'd up vaders life in so many ways and tormented and tortured him both physically and emotionally so thats why he says "it is pointless to resist my son" vader has tried to rise up against the emporer multiple times and every time he gets bitched hard the emporer is actually so powerful he just never expected vader to turn against him here
Thing with the Dark Side really is like you completely lose your mind. But if one can hold it together, it's possible to weild both sides but it always messes things up. That stuff is explored later.
Vader's redemption is the only time a full blown Sith Lord returned to the light, so it somewhat opened up this possibility of keeping your head while also being full dark side... I think of it like being hypnotized... Or like dark side mind trick that's all-encompassing and is done to the self ... or often egged on by a powerful minded Sith Lord like The Emperor.... Its not that the Emperor lost his tact, he's just doing a full blown mind -trick.
In the scene with Han and Lando talking, with the Falcon in the background, you were thinking of matte painting and you are right. There is a bit of a lack of depth perception which makes it more noticeable than it should be.
Baby Yoda is just a member of Yoda's species, he is not necessarily related to Yoda.
7:04 don for r2 and chewbacca and other characters that dont speak english its part of the charm to where you can imagine and interpret what they say to fill in the blank, its part of the charm of those characters :)
Don: "So every single jedi has had to confront their enemy to become an actual jedi?"
Yoda: "My own council on whatever bullshit as I go make up I will keep."
27:48
Leias kiss on Hoth was just to shut down Han and make him jealous.
All others were just pecks.
Ooollllaaaa 😮😮😂😂😂 you see the teddys bow to robotic gold metal man
A lot of your questions will probably be answered by the Prequels.
Yes, the man at the end was Anakin, Luke’s father. Originally it was the actor you see when he’s unmasked (Sebastian Shaw), only looking much more human and healthy looking than he did when he took the helmet off. They replaced him in later releases of the film with a different actor. One of the many issues people have with these later “Special Editions” of these movies is that they alter stuff from the classic films. This might not be so bad if the original unedited versions were readily available, but they aren’t. A lot of the shoddy, dated CGI (which you surprisingly enough didn’t seem to pick out among all the times you mentioned stuff in the movie that decidedly WASN’T CGI lol) was a result of Lucas trying to perfect his vision of the movies and better align them with the Prequel films that came out after. Many of the planets in that montage at the end are from the Prequels, for example. Most fans pick and choose which edits they like and don’t like from each version.
43:03 dude you nailed it! The emperor foresees everything except the value of connection and valuing this society and what that benefits vs the theory of domination dictatorship.
Fun fact, the answer to how Vader found out Luke is his son is in the comics, after new hope Vader wants to hunt down the group that destroyed the Death Star so he hires a bounty hunter called boba fett, at the time he was completely oblivious to who Luke was and what his name was, when boba fett found Luke he managed to hear his last name as he escaped, with this information and tells Vader the boys name, and at that moment vader realized they had the same last name
Keep in mind that the prequels take place before the Empire, so there is no emperor and no rebel alliance. Instead, the ruling government is the Republic, which is a representative government with a galactic senate made up of senators from all the member planets (though not every planet in the galaxy is part of the Republic, especially the farthest outlying star systems). The leader of the senate is the Supreme Chancellor, kind of like the elected president or prime minister of the galaxy.
There is no military because there's been peace for 1,000 years, thanks to the Jedi Knights who serve the Republic, but exist apart from it with its own rules and traditions. Centuries before, they defeated their ancient enemies, the Dark Lords of the Sith, who used the dark side of the Force to try to conquer the galaxy. It's believed that the Jedi wiped out the Sith, who used the title Darth. (In the comics and trading cards that came out in the 70s and 80s, Darth Vader is described as a Sith lord.)
By the time of Ep.1, the senate has become corrupt and ineffective. Wealthy and powerful corporations are so influential that they even have their own members of congress, who manipulate the laws to their advantage while the voices of the people go ignored. One of these corporations is the greedy Trade Federation, which controls most of the trade routes through the galaxy. They are the apparent new villains, but they are secretly in cahoots with a familiar-looking hooded figure who not even the Jedi are aware of, and who is pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
Got to watch the Prequel trilogy now with Anakin and Obi Wan/ Ben if you haven't
57:26
You have seen the planet and the city.
It's Moss Eisley at Tatooine.
The first Planet (City) we see in the later added celebration sequence is Bespin (Landos Cloud City from Empire strikes back,) followed by Tatooine (Mos Eisley Spaceport, 0:54), Naboo (Theed, 1:01), Coruscant (Monument Plaza, 1:08).
You will see more of Naboo and Coruscant later on.
Im verry hi... "Thinks" I woke up from a nap. haha. Gold
We saw Jabba move in the first movie, when he catches up with Han at the Falcon. He moves much like a slug; kind of undulating along.
Baby Yoda is not actually the name of the character. He didn't have a name but he is the same species as Yoda, so people just called him Baby Yoda, even though he is not necessarily related to Yoda directly.
It's not so much that a Jedi has to defeat an enemy to become a Jedi, it's that a Jedi must face trials which are unique to his own experience. He must confront his own darkness and resist the temptation to fall to the dark side of the Force. It's more of an internal thing.
Luke could have a kid to train, but the galaxy needs far more than what he can produce. He needs to pass on the training to other Force-sensitive beings across the galaxy to bring back the Jedi Order. This was a large part of his story in the novels and comics that came afterward, before Disney threw it all out the window a few years ago.
"Baby Yoda" certainly has a name, its Grogu fyi
@@hephner78 I was trying to avoid spoilers for him.
Telling him the simple name def isnt a spoiler
@@oneironaut420
The language in Star Wars is called Galactic Basic. The alphabet you see on the computer screen is called Aurabesh. The characters are translated one-to-one with the 26 letter A-Z alphabet. The words are actually English once you translate the Aurabesh characters into letters.
Before the Empire took over, there was a full on republic.
The emperor already knew they were down on the forest moon. He foresaw a lot.
The sith dynamic is explored more in the prequels but essentially modern sith have the "rule of two" that there can only be two real sith, or darths, a master and an apprentice, when the apprentice becomes powerful they kill the master and becoming the master takes an apprentice initiating the cycle again. Sidious, the emperor, knew this very well and since he now knew Luke that was much younger and didn't have Vader's limitations so he wanted to replace Vader with Luke doing tje opposite of the rule of two since he obviously wanted to remain in power
Kenny Baker, the guy inside r2d2, had to say lines on set to then be beeped over to help other actors with their lines and responses, but he made r2 just sweary as can be for the shits and gigs lmao
Just gotta say, I absolutely love your reactions. Watched your LOTR and some Spy x Family videos and you always some some shi that I'd never thought of before and would never think even if I watched them over and over again.
55:40 "Prince Luke?" had me DYING
the script used in the star wars univers is a real alphabet made for it, the words being written in galactic basic (english)
Vader didn't know at first that Luke was his son. The Emperor is the one that told Vader that he sensed that Luke was the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.
Luke and Leia were twins but, Luke was older but only by a few minutes.
Baby yoda isn’t yodas son he’s just the same species. There species are usually strong with the force like naturally
I don’t think that every Jedi has had to confront his/her enemy. I suspect what Yoda meant was that Luke had to confront and put to rest unresolved turmoil. In his case, that required confrontation with his father.
Leia is actually a lot more like Anakin whereas Luke was more like Padme - it would have been easier to turn Leia to the dark side.
nice. never thought about it like that 🙏🙏
I'm hyped for you to watch episodes 1,2 and 3
i think he skipped 2... can't find it 😕
3:40 most valid excuse ever
lmao you basically described the prequels with the galactic republic 57:32
Billie Dee Williams is Lando and Luke always had a back up plan with his friends.
You gotta remember, when Obi Wan Kenobi told Luke in the first Star Wars movie that Darth Vader killed Luke's father -- that was the intended truth. It was only with the second movie that the writer of the movie thought to go with the plot twist of Vader being Luke's father.... so they had to ret-con the discrepancy. Hence, Obi Wan's "What I told you was true from a certain point of view."_
Jabba wasn't CGI in this movie. Now in the first movie they did redo the movie and added some CGI Jabba slugging around but it's already dated looking. This movie just has practical effects with Jabba. CGI wasn't a thing really in the 80s. Well not the way it is now with computers... Back then computers were just word processors and calculators.
57:17 is that mesa on the roof holding the red flag to yousa right saying wesa free?
the written language you have seen is called Aurabesh and yes it's an actual writing system that you can translate on the internet. Some hardcore nerds can even read it fluently
14:57 Jabba isn’t cgi, he’s basically a big puppet. And Leia is just Carrie fisher, not edited
5:12 the reason vader talked about killing the emperor is because of the ancient sith law (the rule of two) where it can only be the master and apprentice, so if luke joined vader hed have to kill the emperor to keep this rule
From what I understand. The part about Luke and Leia being siblings was a retcon that was made as this movie was actually going to be two movies originally.
In the original Luke was going to find a charecter that was going to actually be his sister and train or something but it was just retconned so that Leia was his sister.
I may be remembering wrong though.
The retcon does makes the parts in the previous movies where Luke and Leia kiss weird. But keep in mind that was before the retcon.
