Idk about that, not many Star Wars fans like this show. I understand to some extent, on this episode specifically you can see 3 different shades of makeup on some of the actors (when Luke shows up and they're looking at the door), or maybe it was the lighting. I am not exactly sure but that's just what I see.
@@jonahrains7483 I thought it was his version of the Christmas Special of 1978 but that would be an insult to that dumpster fire. He titled it The Last Jedi but in reality to the fandom it translated to The Last Straw.
@@insertcolorherehawk3761 quite agree, but whenever it played, i cant seems to mind about it even it quite not matching, but just listening how it goes, i agree it hard to be implemented in a scene, but you know, Luke's image make it all alright.
@@SNH1305 I was more making a reference to Luke's original theme, *the main theme* and not Binary Sunset But even here, there are points where Binary Sunset feels off or just not quite right
I've only ever seen my father cry twice in my entire life. Once when Dale Earnheart Sr. died and the second when Luke Skywalker showed up to save the Mandalorian.
The lesson is multi-level defenses, Lock down the landing bay, vent the atmo so luke has to walk into hard vaccuum, pull back your storm troopers to command, arm them with granades and RPGs, proximity mines in the hallways to turn intruders into paste, turn up the artificial gravity in the halls to 100 G, so they can't even get up off the floor as their internal organs ooze out their body openings, and last resort, complete ship self destruct, can't allow it to fall into enemy hands... Space ship reactor packs a lot of punch. Tech always wins, if you use it right.
You know Luke had flashbacks to Vaders last moments when the mandalorian took off his helmet to look at groku before saying goodbye, beautifully written
Absolutely! I was clapping and yelling "THIS IS LUKE SKYWALKER I CAN GET BEHIND!" But, lost it when I saw R2. I wasn't quite one yet when my parents took me to see A New Hope and my mom told me I saw R2 smiled and then fell asleep. When I saw him I heard her voice saying "there's R2!" Like she always said any time we saw him. So, she was with me when he came around the corner... "There R2!"🥺💜
It's very telling that everyone watching says "no, it can't be luke, no way" etc.. we're so used to being upset by new star wars that we didn't believe that anything good could happen anymore.
More like give it to people who actually care Star Wars in the first place. They tried giving a trilogy to Johnson despite his open antagonism towards the series. They gave Abrams a chance after he ended Lost the way he did and bastardized Star Trek. Now they're giving KOTOR's story to someone who actively fights fans on twitter and has gone on record saying KOTOR isn't her favorite SW game.
We all are. My parents taught me Star Wars when the prequels came out in 1999 but they didn't send his daughters to see it on screen. The first one I saw in cinema with my father for his 50th birthday present was Rogue One. And I was hooked. Parenting done right.
This is why Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni are calling the shots now. That ending with Boba taking over the palace was really those two taking over Star Wars lol.
This is the power of a well-handled franchise. The sequels will never be able to do what was done with this one last portion of an episode. The Luke we all knew and wanted, the reunion we all craved, and the respect paid to the universe that so many of us have grown to love. Even adults were brought to tears by that final scene.
The end of Return of the Jedi, a father asks his son to remove his helmet, so he can look on him with his own eyes at least once. The end of The Rescue, a son asks his father to remove his helmet, so he can see his true face at least once. Luke is there for both.... this really feels like a passing the torch moment for me. Fucking incredible.
Grogu represents our inner child and Luke has come to save him... to save us... and remind us that there's still hope even in these dark times. May the Force be with all of you. 💫
When future historians write the story of 2020 it will not be how covid nearly ripped us a new one but Luke Skywalker retuning to give us all hope for all the tomorrow’s to come.
Me! Right here, this guy. Even if they sink the whole series and everything else, I will still watch Mandalorian S1-S2 with my kids. That, at least, was worth it. ^_^
Every once in a while I come back to this video just for the feels. Besides the SUPERB editing, the relatable reactions creates that human connection. Plus, this episode was so perfect for the Star Wars fan that is familiar with it all. It was a true gift. And I'll always give the show, The Mandalorian credit for helping whoever watched it get through all the chaos and sadness during that year for the world.
Think that's part of the beauty. He doesn't. He loves making good stories, same as Filoni. Price isn't the object. This (waves hands to fan reaction) is.
Favreau has exactly the right mix of practical and special effects as well. He uses both masterfully to really immerse you in this fictional world. But even then, he also doesn't forget to make the story character driven. Then team him up with Dave Filoni, George Lucas' Padawan, his apprentice, the one he has really passed on his ideas to, and who has left his mark on Star Wars already via The Clone Wars and Rebels. And then you get this, absolute magic.
They had to keep it a secret from their own "colleagues" at Lucasfilm because Kathleen Kennedy's people didn't want Luke coming back. Imagine that. The official caretakers of the Star Wars franchise are so hostile towards both the IP and the fan base that they were angry about this awesome reunion with our most beloved character. Is it any wonder the sequel trilogy was such a disaster? Dave and Dave should have taken over years ago. Hopefully they are given their chance to rescue Star Wars.
This is what the vast majority of fans wanted to see when Luke appeared in the Force Awakens -- not a bitter, broken down old man who threw his iconic lightsaber away like trash and wandered off to go drink green alien sea cow milk.
This entire show has felt like a love letter from Favreau and Filoni to us...the long time fans, the dedicated fans. Here's to hoping they write a few dozen more.
Filoni only has the same writing credits on this show as Rick Famuyiwa, ie two episodes. Filoni's season 1 episode was by far the lowest rated of the season. His season 2 episode was purely to shoehorn in Ahsoka to set up her spin off series (it resulted in her looking indifferent to Grogu's plight as well). Lucasfilm wanted Grogu to be Ahsoka's padawan, for her series. But Favreau refused, saying it would effectively destroy the relationship between Djarin & Grogu (the heart of this show). Basically, Faverau is the mastermind behind this series. Read his Jan 2021 interview with the Writer's Guild of America, where he mentions repeatedly that he wrote this show alone. Filoni was invited on board for his SW knowledge, not his writing, which isn't all that.
I just want to say this: Watching Luke actually BEING a Jedi for once made this nerd happy thru and thru. He wielded the lightsaber like a Jedi Master would. He incorporated the Force during the fight like a Jedi Master would. He was calm, neither angry or excited, at the end of the fight like a Jedi Master would. They NAILED this. Nailed it.
I thought the point of being a Jedi was to incorporate Olympic-class floor routines and tai kwon do moves with ample lightsaber twirling. It's been a minute since the OG universe...
Luke had a brutal hallway scene, but as opposed to his father’s, which struck fear in our hearts, this one gave us hope. EDIT:Thank you all!!! I was worried I didn't word this poetically enough, glad to see it's appreciated!
This is proof that Jon and Dave need to be put in charge of all future Star Wars projects. They know what the fans want because they themselves are fans. They respect George Lucas and they even ask for his input on stuff.
well Jon and Dave maybe doesnt want the responsibility but replace KK with someone MORE DAMN KNOWLEDGEABLE at star wars and know the best decision to leave the best duo at work
This video was so wholesome. It's touching to see how invested they are, and to witness their genuine, heart-felt reactions was just what I needed. Huge respect on the edit, I can only imagine what the timeline looked like.
@@johndododoe1411 To my knowledge it was a stunt double during the lightsaber sequence and it was him during the talking sequence at the end. They just CGI’d his face and tampered with his voice to make him sound like his younger self. CGI could use some work but it was overall well done in my opinion.
Every time I watch this episode I cry. Every time. Can't handle it. I'm 43 and a fan of SW. Never have I shed a tear before for any SW thing. But this...oh this is way fckn off the SW emotional charts! This show has saved SW over anything that came after the first trilogy. I fckn dare you to change my mind!!
What really did this for me was the way they portrayed Luke. Many of us haven't seen that Luke since we were kids years ago. It instantly put me back in time and I lived it for the entire scene.
@Rafi Rizqullah bro are you for real? Watch the damn clone wars. All of it. Then watch revenge of the Sith again and you will see why it's the best fuckin star wars movie and one of the greatest of all.
@Rafi Rizqullah - I love both The Clone Wars and Rebels. Rebels for all the Jedi temple and Force being stuff and Clone Wars for Anakin, Rex, Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-wan, R2. I'm so attached to all those characters. That last Siege of Mandalore arc where the clones turn on Ahsoka is brutal. Such a dark ending. Rebels has a much happier ending. But my favorite episode out of all of them is the World Between Worlds episode. That place is SO COOL. That Lothal Jedi Temple is amazing. My favorite story arc in TCW was actually the Mortis Arc so it makes sense that I would love the last few episodes of Rebel. Absolutely fantastic stuff.
@@s1d3k1ckRO - After watching Clone Wars, Revenge of the Sith is so BRUTAL. I made the mistake of watching it while I was pregnant and when Anakin force chokes Padme, I fucking lost it. It's so painful to watch. Every time I see Darth Vader I cry because I think of Anakin. I highly recommend the second Thrawn trilogy books where Timothy Zahm rewrites Thrawn's story due to his inclusion in Rebels. The interaction between Vader and Thrawn goes into a lot of how Vader thinks of Anakin and REALLY insightful. Timothy Zahn is a master at storytelling.
@@TheDreamtheaterlover I was thinking that he was really getting some use out of his spear training from GoT, in this episode. At least this time he wasn't trying to get a confession out of his opponent.
People who didn't grow up on Star Wars have no idea what Luke was to so many nerds back in the day. He was our hero. Our role model. He was who we wanted to be. I don't blame a single person in this for breaking out into tears.
My dad’s 66 and the only time I’ve seen him cry in my entire life was when we watched this episode together. He was massively disappointed by the sequel trilogy, which he didn’t even believe he’d live to see in the first place, so he was very skeptical when I suggested we watch The Mandalorian. He was instantly hooked, but he had no idea when this series took place within the Star Wars timeline. He simply assumed all this happened after the movies. So when he saw a young Luke Skywalker, the hero of his own youth, but now as an all-powerful Jedi… my father has always been a very stoic man, but this time there was no way he could contain his happiness. 😊
Because we from the original generation knew what we experienced. We knew what it meant for our imaginations. It let us fly high in our minds. We had no shame about our feelings for it. It was a revolution on film and FOR film. Nothing we had ever seen. So, to connect back to those same feelings those many decades ago is monumental. Because that's a hard thing to do with anything after. I'm glad your father enjoyed it. I did as well. And like many, I'll never forget then AND now.
love that story, having grown up with the originals I didn't like what they did to luke in the sequals, and Jon and Dave brought back the one we knew and loved.
I lost my sh!t when Luke showed up. He is hands down one of the most iconic characters in Star Wars and I couldn’t even believe that they put him in the show. That whole scene was a sight to remember. 😁😁😁💚💚💚
That's actually a load of rubbish I've watched the director himself say he let as little of the cast as possible know to stop the leaks as every cameo had been leaked before the "mark hamill" one, so...the cast knew for scripting reasons, he was on set while they shot the scenes aswell even though they used a CGI... It was kept a secret for a year that he was in the show, it was filmed little over a year before the episodes release without any leaks though, impressive
@@DarrylErickson yes he was dude. Read the credits and look at Mark Hamills Instagram. There was a body double but he was on set so they could de-age him. He said it himself
Its been a little over two years and watching the reaction video AND the episode continues to bring me to tears. this has got to be the most emotional scene or episode in star wars history. Not to mention the fact that at the very beginning people were skeptical about the series and how it was going to flop. Just the mere presence of Luke Skywalker saved the entire show and the franchise.
Well loved TFA, severely disliked TLJ, and enjoyed TROS. That said, have thoroughly enjoyed The Mandalorian although it's not without it's growing pains. The appeal of SWs to me is the fantasy side of it, and with that the most interesting aspect of the SWs universe to me is The Force. This is the reason for my feelings on the movies and show. For TFA I thought it did a great job of using a familiar story and characters to setup a new story about what the force is. Why did it awaken? What does that mean? Why are some more adept at it (Rey)? Why are others force aware (Maz and Chirrut in Roque One)? Why was Luke so powerful with it? Just how powerful was Luke with it? All of those questions had great appeal and could have been answered with a proper follow up to TFA and diverge drastically from the OT. Instead, we got Rain Johnson's TLJ which destroyed maybe the most beloved SWs character ever (seeing the reaction to this final episode reaffirms that). Rather than growing Luke's character based on his experiences, it was used to make us not like him so that he is forgotten. I personally think this is what Abrams had in mind with the first one, and tried to correct all of this in TROS. The plotholes in that movie should have been filled by the story told in TLJ. And it could have even been the same tone. Luke coming to realize he had gotten in over his head. The Jedi's hubris. Maybe realizing they were wrong, and that one can't really shut out the dark or light side of the force, that bringing balance to the force really means learning to embrace both sides, all setup by the literal title of TFA. We still don't know that actually means. All of that, to say that The Mandalorian is getting back to that. The mystery of the Jedi, their powers, what does it all mean and how does it work. And to tell that story we have some great characters moving along in their journey as these answers unravel. Me personally, I'd love to see Grogu turn out to be The Chosen One. The species long lifespan could well be used as a character point that it takes a long time to master walking the thin line between light and dark. We saw how powerful Yoda was, and he is the only Jedi where it could be believable that he could wield the darkside and not fall to temptation. By the time Ben turned on Luke (or Luke turned on Ben if you want to see it that way), Grogu had grown aware enough that he didn't think suppressing the dark-side was the right path and left Luke's school. The movies going forward with Grogu explaining this and getting a force ghost Luke, Yoda, and Obi-wan to understand that and have them then further assist in his training I think would make for a great story.
Get a grip Ted. It's a just tv show. There are people out there struggling to pay bills, heat their homes and pay for medicine, and you're crying over a fictitonal character? lamo.

Honestly, the Mandalorian stopped the franchise from falling into dark irrelevance, like Game of Thrones. The show was arguably a masterpiece with little to no flaws.
@@markkeane6843 it's weird to watch [book of boba] after seeing this because: Mark Hamill is in fact older than the actor who plays boba, BUT lore wise, Boba was "born" in the clone wars, years before luke

Everyone's reactions were hilarious, but spot on! They were saying what everyone that loves the saga was thinking. A great series that gives nostalgic feels. I love you Grogu and Mando.
Jon Favreu is one of the best , if not the best, and more versatile showrunner of this generation. He did friends (as actor), iron man (both director and actor), disney's adaptation of mogli , lion king etc, and many more. Everyone with audience aclamation.
@@theguywhoeditsthings7350 it was not terrible. Only if you compare with the original wich is insuperable. But if you Watch as an entertainment movie you Will see that is a good movie.
Daniel Drummond exactly. That’s...why it was terrible. Don’t remake a movie unless you know people are gonna like it. People loved the lion king but Disney had to be stupid and make a live action version of everything...
Wow this was 3 yrs ago already. I just randomly watched the episode again & was all emotional already. Then I remembered they must have those reaction compilations on here so I did a searched. Cried again w/ all these grown ass men. What a great catharsis. 😂 Thank you Jon Favreau. You really gave this special moment to all of us fans
Mark Hamill is one of the few actors that has ever taken serious ownership of the character he portrayed. Being Luke Skywalker was not a job to him; he genuinely connected with that sense of optimism and wonder, so when he was able to redeem that from the travesty sequel trilogy, you could see how happy it made him. He got to bring that optimism back to people.
He really excels at walking the tightrope between appreciating his fans and keeping a private life, while ensuring everyone is kept happy. A true master in many ways
That man deserves better, such an iconic hero. And after the fucking year we all had with that fucking virus, we needed something/someone to cheer for. Thank you Jon Favreau.
Luke Skywalker is probably the most powerful Jedi at this time. But Yoda to me is the definitive Jedi. Complete knowledge of the force, very balanced and very wise. Luke would turn to Yoda for his wisdom until the end.
I’m a 73 year old retired librarian and I wept like a toddler. Watched the episode all alone and kept saying to my dog, “It’s Luke. It’s Luke. Oh god it’s Luke.” What an utterly glorious moment.
Anyone who wasn't there in '77 can just never appreciate "Star Wars, a New Hope" the way those of us who were there can. You had pre-cable TV, maybe got 7-8 stations, or you went to the movies. No VHS, DVD, HBO, Netflix, etc. And nobody, but NOBODY had ever made a film like Star Wars before. The size. The scale. The imagination of it. I remember sitting in the theater (fortunately, one with an enormous screen). The lights dim, the music starts, and against a glorious space backdrop, "STAR WARS" explodes onto the screen; the intro crawls away, and we pan down to see a beautiful planet below us. Suddenly, from just behind us, laser bolts, followed by a spaceship, fly over our heads, toward the planet. And then, the theater rumbles, and the nose of a huuuuuge spaceship flys in so low, we all gasp and duck. And there is just ... more, and ... more, and ... more, like it will never stop, even as the two ships are trading laser-fire. And in that moment, we all realize that for the next two hours, this is going to be pure, cinematic, magic. ... And it was. .
@@klat2baraada579 I was 14 years old when I saw Star Wars in the theater in ‘77. I’ll never forget that moment when Leia’s ship appeared on the screen being chased and fired at by the Imperial Cruiser. I looked up over my shoulder to see where the hell that huge ship was coming from. I wasn’t the only one. I remember a guy to my right doing the same thing! We both looked at each other like “Wth?!” It sounds silly now but we’d never seen anything like that before.
I'm a 41 year old husband and father....but not this day. This day, I was just a boy doing everything he could to hold his shit together (unsuccessfully). What an incredible show, spectacular episode and brain melting scene.
My 13 year-old daughter said “dad, I’ve never seen you cry before...ever”. I said, “I’m not crying, you’re crying.” Watching this makes me feel better about crying about it. Genius show running. Genius.
@@ironfae and that's the reason why Star Wars will live on. If she has kiddos, and all goes well, you'll be able to sit with her as two generations passing the love on to the next. Just like all the best myths and fables of yesteryear.
As a kid I was standing in line to see the original trilogy some 40 years ago in cinemas. I was overwhelmed by emotions watching the epic story. My heart was beating fast when the first Death Star exploded. I was shocked in horror and disbelief when Vader told Luke that he was his father. I raised to my feet and gave a standing ovation when Vader turned against the Emperor. And now in 2021, as a middle aged man - some might say old - I watch this show and feel all those feelings again, for the first time in ages. This show is epic. This show is unforgettable. This is Star Wars.
Got the same feelings. And I watched the Special Edition in theaters as a kid. Original edition VHS when I was less than 6, Special Edition at 10 and the prequels at 12-18. The only bad moment I had was when they translated the opening crawl in the Phantom Menace.
To the editor of this video...? There are no words. You just created an experience out of others' experiences. I've done my fair share of editing, theatrics, and video productions. This vid is f*cking EPICALLY good.
Heartwarming... Fun reactions ... interesting reactions... Hit- in-the guts reaction ... Action reactions ... SHOCKING reactions ... best Crying reactions ... acceptance reactions ... emotional reactions... ita ALL ORIGINAL... like you and me... and all of them..☺️
I still can't believe there was a very small portion of the fandom that was upset that it was Luke and not someone like Ezra. Not to insult any other characters that it could have been instead of Luke, there is no way that this moment could ever have been as special, if it had been another Jedi. Well perhaps Mace Windu showing up and not being dead, would have gotten a very good reaction but then some of the fandom might immediately start thinking 'Where the hell were you during Episodes 4 to 6?' and that distracts from the impact of scene.
im 73, full combat vietnam vet, i cried like a toodler, and when i thought i got whatever i had in my eye out, mando took off his helmet amongst his friends. jesus i cried again. no shame either my brother. SALUTE
Kathleen Kennedy: Ok, you try to do better Favreau: There is no try *Kathleen watches The Rescue* Kathleen: I don't... I don't believe it Jon: And that is why you failed
You don't have to be a nerd to like Star Wars. Everyone forgets that the original went super viral. They even used a quote in a session of Congress. EVERYONE loved the originals. It says a lot how the later movies didn't stand up with the same kind of interest despite having the ability to go anyway they wanted.
Random guy: "This Squad against a bunch of Stormtroopers? They DON'T stand a chance." Moff Gideon: "Activate the DarkTroopers." Random guy: "EXCEPT for THAT."
I hope he is not proud but insane and ashamed. He basically tried to ruin his own best work at every opportunity for 30 years. It is only luck that saved it.
@@DropkickNation they aren't definitively bad, they're interpretive. The storyline is something the saga wasn't used to but it did the absolute best it could to be received by fans, especially in a fanbase where about 60% of the fans are pessimists and approach every film with criticism. There's no way to make a perfect addition because fans will always criticize. Even here and after the episode people were complaining about the CGI in a single take
I had a feeling that it was going to be Luke to hear Grogu's request at the Tython rocks but had no idea how they were going to connect them. This ending was done perfectly. I still come back and re-watch this episode on the regular. We never got to see Luke at the height of his abilities until this scene.
My 10 Year old cousin, who had NEVER seen any Star Wars films, but knew who Luke Skywalker was. She was historically jumping around my living room, with tears and joy through the last act of the Episode. That there, is how Star Wars should always be done.

It's very telling that everyone watching says "no, it can't be luke, no way" etc.. we're so used to being upset by new star wars that we didn't believe that anything good could happen anymore.
More like give it to people who actually care Star Wars in the first place. They tried giving a trilogy to Johnson despite his open antagonism towards the series. They gave Abrams a chance after he ended Lost the way he did and bastardized Star Trek. Now they're giving KOTOR's story to someone who actively fights fans on twitter and has gone on record saying KOTOR isn't her favorite SW game.
But s*** man I still can't believe they gave Luke Skywalker a Darth Vader moment which is my favorite villain from Star Wars franchise
@@justinnyugen7015 Just because it isn't someones FAVORITE game doesn't mean they can't help make it.
The one time Disney gave the Star Wars fans what they wanted. If they kept true to this, they'd be killing it right now!

“I’m such a fuckin nerd”
We all are. My parents taught me Star Wars when the prequels came out in 1999 but they didn't send his daughters to see it on screen. The first one I saw in cinema with my father for his 50th birthday present was Rogue One. And I was hooked. Parenting done right.
You and me both.
Yeah ..*ahem*
Me too. 😭
And there's nothing wrong with that 😁
@@rawyld Just because you watched and loved the Star Wars movies doesn't make you a nerd
This is why Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni are calling the shots now. That ending with Boba taking over the palace was really those two taking over Star Wars lol.
If John Favreau has taught us anything is that you don't leave the theater or, in this case, shut the tv off until the credits are over....
Flexual harassment at its finest
But which one gets to be boba? 😂

@@DarrylErickson I was thinking of "2001: A Space Odyssey"!
This is the power of a well-handled franchise. The sequels will never be able to do what was done with this one last portion of an episode. The Luke we all knew and wanted, the reunion we all craved, and the respect paid to the universe that so many of us have grown to love. Even adults were brought to tears by that final scene.
The end of Return of the Jedi, a father asks his son to remove his helmet, so he can look on him with his own eyes at least once.
The end of The Rescue, a son asks his father to remove his helmet, so he can see his true face at least once.
Luke is there for both.... this really feels like a passing the torch moment for me. Fucking incredible.
Wow. I never thought of it like that! Spot on!
Luke probably had to hold back a few tears of his own when he saw that, and remembered.
Do you think making me cry is cool?
@@ethanchoi7036 yes, but only if it's out of joy
Damn, how did I miss that?!?!
The truth is that the "real" rescue was Luke saving everyone.

to save us...
and remind us that there's still hope even in these dark times.
May the Force be with all of you. 💫
This is the way

Who's watching this 2021 and STILL get chills seeing Luke Skywalker👑😌
I still cry when I'm watching it they saved starwars I can't fuking wait for this December hope they didn't change the season making time
Me! Right here, this guy. Even if they sink the whole series and everything else, I will still watch Mandalorian S1-S2 with my kids. That, at least, was worth it. ^_^
Luke is my childhood hero...ive waited soooo long to see my farmboi
Watched it again tonight for the feels.
Still watch randomly and always makes me grin.
Every once in a while I come back to this video just for the feels. Besides the SUPERB editing, the relatable reactions creates that human connection. Plus, this episode was so perfect for the Star Wars fan that is familiar with it all. It was a true gift. And I'll always give the show, The Mandalorian credit for helping whoever watched it get through all the chaos and sadness during that year for the world.
Jon Favreau helped kick start the MCU then saves Star Wars. The guy should be able to name his price going forward
Think that's part of the beauty. He doesn't. He loves making good stories, same as Filoni. Price isn't the object. This (waves hands to fan reaction) is.
Favreau has exactly the right mix of practical and special effects as well. He uses both masterfully to really immerse you in this fictional world. But even then, he also doesn't forget to make the story character driven.
Then team him up with Dave Filoni, George Lucas' Padawan, his apprentice, the one he has really passed on his ideas to, and who has left his mark on Star Wars already via The Clone Wars and Rebels. And then you get this, absolute magic.
The best part is he will be worth every penny
Don't forget Filoni.
@@AustinCDennis We do not.
The fact that they kept Luke's appearance in this show a secret is truly remarkable.
They had to keep it a secret from their own "colleagues" at Lucasfilm because Kathleen Kennedy's people didn't want Luke coming back.
Imagine that. The official caretakers of the Star Wars franchise are so hostile towards both the IP and the fan base that they were angry about this awesome reunion with our most beloved character. Is it any wonder the sequel trilogy was such a disaster?
Dave and Dave should have taken over years ago. Hopefully they are given their chance to rescue Star Wars.
@@wholetyouinhere Dave and Jon
I mean Mike Zeroh mentioned it but I didn't believe him since he's a clickbait little bastard.
Whatever they did, Nintendo could take some notes.
It's not the first time they mananged to keep a character under wraps. They did it for the very first episode with Grogu.
I like seeing people honestly joyful about something.
Mostly fake reactions and fake fans
Especially in 2020
I love seeing people happy
Me too. It's very entertaining to see people happy
I didn’t even react like this when Thor arrived in Wakanda and rescued the Avengers.
It's the most annoying shit ever
This is what the vast majority of fans wanted to see when Luke appeared in the Force Awakens -- not a bitter, broken down old man who threw his iconic lightsaber away like trash and wandered off to go drink green alien sea cow milk.
He didnt do that in the force awakens

Now an annual may the 4th tradition
Came back to remember what joy star wars used to bring
This entire show has felt like a love letter from Favreau and Filoni to us...the long time fans, the dedicated fans. Here's to hoping they write a few dozen more.
Filoni only has the same writing credits on this show as Rick Famuyiwa, ie two episodes.
Filoni's season 1 episode was by far the lowest rated of the season. His season 2 episode was purely to shoehorn in Ahsoka to set up her spin off series (it resulted in her looking indifferent to Grogu's plight as well).
Lucasfilm wanted Grogu to be Ahsoka's padawan, for her series. But Favreau refused, saying it would effectively destroy the relationship between Djarin & Grogu (the heart of this show).
Basically, Faverau is the mastermind behind this series. Read his Jan 2021 interview with the Writer's Guild of America, where he mentions repeatedly that he wrote this show alone.
Filoni was invited on board for his SW knowledge, not his writing, which isn't all that.

I just want to say this:
Watching Luke actually BEING a Jedi for once made this nerd happy thru and thru. He wielded the lightsaber like a Jedi Master would. He incorporated the Force during the fight like a Jedi Master would. He was calm, neither angry or excited, at the end of the fight like a Jedi Master would.
They NAILED this. Nailed it.
the greatest jedi master.
THIS IS WHAT A JEDI LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE
impresive!
I thought the point of being a Jedi was to incorporate Olympic-class floor routines and tai kwon do moves with ample lightsaber twirling. It's been a minute since the OG universe...
Facts better than what they did to him in last jedi
Luke had a brutal hallway scene, but as opposed to his father’s, which struck fear in our hearts, this one gave us hope.
EDIT:Thank you all!!! I was worried I didn't word this poetically enough, glad to see it's appreciated!
Yep for a better star wars lol
One would say, A New Hope.
Rather than fear, Vader's hallway scene gave me a raging hard on
@@Ariff510 a NEWER Hope
So true.
This is proof that Jon and Dave need to be put in charge of all future Star Wars projects. They know what the fans want because they themselves are fans. They respect George Lucas and they even ask for his input on stuff.

This video was so wholesome. It's touching to see how invested they are, and to witness their genuine, heart-felt reactions was just what I needed. Huge respect on the edit, I can only imagine what the timeline looked like.
I hope Mark Hamill will see, how much his fans love him, for bringing Luke to life!
He has! He watched these reactions and posted a very loving response on Twitter last week. It was awesome!
Respect from the legend himself. 👍
I hope too dude, Luke is the greatest hero ever, and Mark nailed it, always !
Time for an old Luke Skywalker movie?
I cried! Lol
He has.
If only us fans could put into words how much we appreciate Mark Hamill 😭❤️
For real
It's impossible to quantify the unquantifiable!
If it helps?
He knows this was the response.
Was this Mark Hammil with fresh makeup or just his CG image?
@@johndododoe1411 To my knowledge it was a stunt double during the lightsaber sequence and it was him during the talking sequence at the end. They just CGI’d his face and tampered with his voice to make him sound like his younger self. CGI could use some work but it was overall well done in my opinion.
You know you’ve done something right when grown men are crying like babies. ☺️
Was one... you're right!
It's the same reason why Logan was such a powerful film.
Every time I watch this episode I cry. Every time. Can't handle it. I'm 43 and a fan of SW. Never have I shed a tear before for any SW thing.
But this...oh this is way fckn off the SW emotional charts! This show has saved SW over anything that came after the first trilogy.
I fckn dare you to change my mind!!
Yeah I was crying to a little is was just so sad yet so sweet at the same time
49 and the tears fell. I'll admit, it was quite the emotional ride. As a HUGE Luke Skywalker fan since childhood, this is our Luke Skywalker.
What really did this for me was the way they portrayed Luke. Many of us haven't seen that Luke since we were kids years ago. It instantly put me back in time and I lived it for the entire scene.
You know why we’re all crying?
This is what healing feels like.
@Rafi Rizqullah Clone Wars without a doubt. Rebels had some good moments but it was a struggle to get through honestly.
Before Kathleen Kennedy decided to ruin it again over woke politics.
@Rafi Rizqullah bro are you for real? Watch the damn clone wars. All of it. Then watch revenge of the Sith again and you will see why it's the best fuckin star wars movie and one of the greatest of all.
@Rafi Rizqullah - I love both The Clone Wars and Rebels. Rebels for all the Jedi temple and Force being stuff and Clone Wars for Anakin, Rex, Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-wan, R2. I'm so attached to all those characters. That last Siege of Mandalore arc where the clones turn on Ahsoka is brutal. Such a dark ending. Rebels has a much happier ending. But my favorite episode out of all of them is the World Between Worlds episode. That place is SO COOL. That Lothal Jedi Temple is amazing. My favorite story arc in TCW was actually the Mortis Arc so it makes sense that I would love the last few episodes of Rebel. Absolutely fantastic stuff.
@@s1d3k1ckRO - After watching Clone Wars, Revenge of the Sith is so BRUTAL. I made the mistake of watching it while I was pregnant and when Anakin force chokes Padme, I fucking lost it. It's so painful to watch. Every time I see Darth Vader I cry because I think of Anakin. I highly recommend the second Thrawn trilogy books where Timothy Zahm rewrites Thrawn's story due to his inclusion in Rebels. The interaction between Vader and Thrawn goes into a lot of how Vader thinks of Anakin and REALLY insightful. Timothy Zahn is a master at storytelling.
"Don't give me hope, bro."
"Rebellions are built on hope."
What a reference, dude! 👏👏👏👏👏
wow
holy s*** dude you f****** killed me omg this comment is better than the sequel trilogy itself.
He said "dont give me hope bro" because he knew star wars had died already because of Disney and there was no hope left but yeah
kathleen kennedy true villain of star wars, filoni and Favreau they gonna overthrow her on a hole like how Anakin did!

Well, thanks for putting that in my head. I'll remember to hold you responsible for my upcoming tears.
Oh come on I just stopped crying
@@marquis911 Dam what Mona said
Oh FFS, I just stopped crying!
Damn it 😭😭😭😭
My dad’s 66 and the only time I’ve seen him cry in my entire life was when we watched this episode together. He was massively disappointed by the sequel trilogy, which he didn’t even believe he’d live to see in the first place, so he was very skeptical when I suggested we watch The Mandalorian. He was instantly hooked, but he had no idea when this series took place within the Star Wars timeline. He simply assumed all this happened after the movies. So when he saw a young Luke Skywalker, the hero of his own youth, but now as an all-powerful Jedi… my father has always been a very stoic man, but this time there was no way he could contain his happiness. 😊
Because we from the original generation knew what we experienced. We knew what it meant for our imaginations. It let us fly high in our minds. We had no shame about our feelings for it. It was a revolution on film and FOR film. Nothing we had ever seen. So, to connect back to those same feelings those many decades ago is monumental. Because that's a hard thing to do with anything after. I'm glad your father enjoyed it. I did as well. And like many, I'll never forget then AND now.
Beautifull story.
We became child's again for those 5 min.
love that story, having grown up with the originals I didn't like what they did to luke in the sequals, and Jon and Dave brought back the one we knew and loved.
It's Because they gave us back our hero.
I lost my sh!t when Luke showed up. He is hands down one of the most iconic characters in Star Wars and I couldn’t even believe that they put him in the show. That whole scene was a sight to remember. 😁😁😁💚💚💚
Fun fact: the cast didn’t know Mark was gonna be in this episode until he showed up to the set
Now I wish there was a video of the cast's reaction. I will be disappointed if there wasn't at least one "holy shit" or f-bomb drop.
That's actually a load of rubbish I've watched the director himself say he let as little of the cast as possible know to stop the leaks as every cameo had been leaked before the "mark hamill" one, so...the cast knew for scripting reasons, he was on set while they shot the scenes aswell even though they used a CGI... It was kept a secret for a year that he was in the show, it was filmed little over a year before the episodes release without any leaks though, impressive

Just the mere presence of Luke Skywalker saved the entire show and the franchise.

That made me and every star wars fan cry
Is it me, or do Star Wars fans like the Mandalorian more than the last 3 movies?
That not just you. Because its tje truth. This is real Star Wars. This is ehat we all wantet.
Mandalorian is incredible but even if it was just okay it would still be miles ahead of the flaming dumpster that is the sequel trilogy
100%
Honestly, I think ANYONE would enjoy The Mandalorian more than that f’kn trilogy.
Even Star Trek fans could smell their failure. 😂
Well loved TFA, severely disliked TLJ, and enjoyed TROS. That said, have thoroughly enjoyed The Mandalorian although it's not without it's growing pains.
The appeal of SWs to me is the fantasy side of it, and with that the most interesting aspect of the SWs universe to me is The Force. This is the reason for my feelings on the movies and show. For TFA I thought it did a great job of using a familiar story and characters to setup a new story about what the force is. Why did it awaken? What does that mean? Why are some more adept at it (Rey)? Why are others force aware (Maz and Chirrut in Roque One)? Why was Luke so powerful with it? Just how powerful was Luke with it?
All of those questions had great appeal and could have been answered with a proper follow up to TFA and diverge drastically from the OT. Instead, we got Rain Johnson's TLJ which destroyed maybe the most beloved SWs character ever (seeing the reaction to this final episode reaffirms that). Rather than growing Luke's character based on his experiences, it was used to make us not like him so that he is forgotten. I personally think this is what Abrams had in mind with the first one, and tried to correct all of this in TROS. The plotholes in that movie should have been filled by the story told in TLJ. And it could have even been the same tone. Luke coming to realize he had gotten in over his head. The Jedi's hubris. Maybe realizing they were wrong, and that one can't really shut out the dark or light side of the force, that bringing balance to the force really means learning to embrace both sides, all setup by the literal title of TFA. We still don't know that actually means.
All of that, to say that The Mandalorian is getting back to that. The mystery of the Jedi, their powers, what does it all mean and how does it work. And to tell that story we have some great characters moving along in their journey as these answers unravel. Me personally, I'd love to see Grogu turn out to be The Chosen One. The species long lifespan could well be used as a character point that it takes a long time to master walking the thin line between light and dark. We saw how powerful Yoda was, and he is the only Jedi where it could be believable that he could wield the darkside and not fall to temptation. By the time Ben turned on Luke (or Luke turned on Ben if you want to see it that way), Grogu had grown aware enough that he didn't think suppressing the dark-side was the right path and left Luke's school. The movies going forward with Grogu explaining this and getting a force ghost Luke, Yoda, and Obi-wan to understand that and have them then further assist in his training I think would make for a great story.
ALL the fans who saw the first movie in 1977 cried in this scene.
Ok, I’m 62 and I was 17 in 1977 when Star Wars came out. So I cheered, and cried just like these people and I’m not ashamed.

Wow this was 3 yrs ago already. I just randomly watched the episode again & was all emotional already. Then I remembered they must have those reaction compilations on here so I did a searched. Cried again w/ all these grown ass men. What a great catharsis. 😂
Thank you Jon Favreau. You really gave this special moment to all of us fans
Same bro. 😢 epic
Mark Hamill said he's watched the reactors to this episode on TH-cam. You all had such an effect on him. Such a humble, cool guy.
Like a baby I wept.
Mark Hamill is one of the few actors that has ever taken serious ownership of the character he portrayed. Being Luke Skywalker was not a job to him; he genuinely connected with that sense of optimism and wonder, so when he was able to redeem that from the travesty sequel trilogy, you could see how happy it made him. He got to bring that optimism back to people.
@@oremfrien Early on he tried to leave it behind, and Carrie Fisher basically told him to wake up, he's Luke Skywalker.
He really excels at walking the tightrope between appreciating his fans and keeping a private life, while ensuring everyone is kept happy. A true master in many ways
That man deserves better, such an iconic hero. And after the fucking year we all had with that fucking virus, we needed something/someone to cheer for. Thank you Jon Favreau.
Mando: Are you a Jedi?
Luke: I am
Fan reactions: "THE" Jedi!
Luke Skywalker. A legend.
I expected "just like my father before me" 😅
The stupidest question ever.
Luke: no, I am a nerf herder, idiot. And this is a staff not a lightsaber.🤦♂️
Luke Skywalker is probably the most powerful Jedi at this time. But Yoda to me is the definitive Jedi. Complete knowledge of the force, very balanced and very wise. Luke would turn to Yoda for his wisdom until the end.
@@evrencagin To be fair, he dresses like the Sith.
I’m a 55 year old firefighter with almost 30 years and I cried my eyes out! Luke to the Rescue once again! This time saving Star Wars itself!
So, how many years you have? 55 or 30?
I’m a 73 year old retired librarian and I wept like a toddler. Watched the episode all alone and kept saying to my dog, “It’s Luke. It’s Luke. Oh god it’s Luke.” What an utterly glorious moment.
I worked at Holiday Inn once and I cried too.
Same. I walked into the kitchen sniffling and my wife asked what was wrong. "Nothing, I just love Star Wars again!" : )
its already been ruined due to those three movies that most people are calling it non canon!
Anyone who wasn't there in '77 can just never appreciate "Star Wars, a New Hope" the way those of us who were there can. You had pre-cable TV, maybe got 7-8 stations, or you went to the movies. No VHS, DVD, HBO, Netflix, etc. And nobody, but NOBODY had ever made a film like Star Wars before. The size. The scale. The imagination of it. I remember sitting in the theater (fortunately, one with an enormous screen). The lights dim, the music starts, and against a glorious space backdrop, "STAR WARS" explodes onto the screen; the intro crawls away, and we pan down to see a beautiful planet below us. Suddenly, from just behind us, laser bolts, followed by a spaceship, fly over our heads, toward the planet. And then, the theater rumbles, and the nose of a huuuuuge spaceship flys in so low, we all gasp and duck. And there is just ... more, and ... more, and ... more, like it will never stop, even as the two ships are trading laser-fire. And in that moment, we all realize that for the next two hours, this is going to be pure, cinematic, magic. ... And it was.
.
I was 6. I've been hooked every since and I'm 51. Every word you said is true.
Yep, well described. I remember the absolute awe and amazement that my 7 yr old self felt.
@@klat2baraada579 I was 14 years old when I saw Star Wars in the theater in ‘77. I’ll never forget that moment when Leia’s ship appeared on the screen being chased and fired at by the Imperial Cruiser. I looked up over my shoulder to see where the hell that huge ship was coming from. I wasn’t the only one. I remember a guy to my right doing the same thing! We both looked at each other like “Wth?!” It sounds silly now but we’d never seen anything like that before.
Yeah the new generation will never know. Remember going to the movies to see it....good times!
Thank you Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni for redeeming Disney’s Star Wars.
Disney has the proverbial golden goose now with this, i bet Disney + subbing shoots up now.
And just three years later Kathleen Kennedy screws up the whole thing.
I'm a 41 year old husband and father....but not this day. This day, I was just a boy doing everything he could to hold his shit together (unsuccessfully). What an incredible show, spectacular episode and brain melting scene.
My 13 year-old daughter said “dad, I’ve never seen you cry before...ever”. I said, “I’m not crying, you’re crying.” Watching this makes me feel better about crying about it. Genius show running. Genius.
I didn't cry when I watched Old Yeller but this episode made me a blubbery mess.
@@randydecker7015 lo. me too randy
I did the SAME exact thing. My thirteen year old daughter just gave me a big hug and said “I’m glad you’re so happy daddy. “
😍😭👍
PURE genius!!
@@ironfae and that's the reason why Star Wars will live on. If she has kiddos, and all goes well, you'll be able to sit with her as two generations passing the love on to the next. Just like all the best myths and fables of yesteryear.
I come back every so often to watch this and to remind myself just how amazing Star Wars can be when it is well done!
As a kid I was standing in line to see the original trilogy some 40 years ago in cinemas. I was overwhelmed by emotions watching the epic story. My heart was beating fast when the first Death Star exploded. I was shocked in horror and disbelief when Vader told Luke that he was his father. I raised to my feet and gave a standing ovation when Vader turned against the Emperor. And now in 2021, as a middle aged man - some might say old - I watch this show and feel all those feelings again, for the first time in ages. This show is epic. This show is unforgettable. This is Star Wars.
Got the same feelings. And I watched the Special Edition in theaters as a kid.
Original edition VHS when I was less than 6, Special Edition at 10 and the prequels at 12-18. The only bad moment I had was when they translated the opening crawl in the Phantom Menace.
46...and i'm not crying...u r crying! 😢
I'm your age and not quite as Mush-Minded.
You played with the Princess Leia action figure didn't ya?
@@versetripn6631 Maybe not the same way you did....
@@elcarto22 nah, i had Playboy keepin me company by then! 🤣
When Din took his helmet off, he's like:
"Let me look on you with my own eyes" 😭😭
Whoa I never saw that parallel. Great call!
😭😭😭❤️👍!!!
Had to hug my little boy and and tell him I love him.
“Daaaad stop! I wanna see Luke!”
😂
It was like the ROTJ ending when Vader took off his helmet
@@haive2202 same with the luke hallway scene mirroring darth vaders, the amount of thought and detail that went into this series blew me away.
The parrallels between Luke, Vader, Yoda and grogu this episode are amazing
"I am uncontrollably... not okay!"
"Same."
*sniffs* "I'm such a fuckin' nerd"
Solid editing there
The editing of this is brilliant, the reactions resonate which each viewer.
To the editor of this video...?
There are no words. You just created an experience out of others' experiences.
I've done my fair share of editing, theatrics, and video productions. This vid is f*cking EPICALLY good.
Yes, i'm crying watching a video of fans crying.
I did the same. I think what the world needs is a little nurture, regardless of age.
Same. We're empaths!
you too
We all are. 😭❤️👍
You are definitely not alone!
There’s something truly heartwarming about seeing all of these people experiencing such genuine and unbridled joy.
Totally agree 👍😎👍 funny how I thought I was the one of just a few nerds who love this
Yep agree..
Heartwarming? You bet. 👍
Heartwarming... Fun reactions ... interesting reactions... Hit- in-the guts reaction ... Action reactions ... SHOCKING reactions ... best Crying reactions ... acceptance reactions ... emotional reactions... ita ALL ORIGINAL... like you and me... and all of them..☺️
I still can't believe there was a very small portion of the fandom that was upset that it was Luke and not someone like Ezra.
Not to insult any other characters that it could have been instead of Luke, there is no way that this moment could ever have been as special, if it had been another Jedi.
Well perhaps Mace Windu showing up and not being dead, would have gotten a very good reaction but then some of the fandom might immediately start thinking 'Where the hell were you during Episodes 4 to 6?' and that distracts from the impact of scene.
In an age of treating fans like enemies this show demonstrated how happy you can make people by not shitting on their memories.
Yes!
Yes, we are see you No Way Home and Matrix 4
And there, for one moment, the entire SW universe agreed it was good.
im 73, full combat vietnam vet, i cried like a toodler, and when i thought i got whatever i had in my eye out, mando took off his helmet amongst his friends. jesus i cried again. no shame either my brother. SALUTE
May the Force be with you.
Huge respect
Now I feel like crying
Kathleen Kennedy: Ok, you try to do better
Favreau: There is no try
*Kathleen watches The Rescue*
Kathleen: I don't... I don't believe it
Jon: And that is why you failed
haha! epic!
Well said. It is almost like you got that dialogue from a great movie.
Favreau: that; is why you failed
@@aries-hu4kp did I mess it up?😔😔
Bang on straight.
This is how you do it, Disney. This is how you bring back a character that is loved and looked up to by hundreds of people, from all walks of life.
Not hundreds. Tens of thousands.
Yep! "Hundreds of THOUSANDS" of people, if not MILLIONS! WORLDWIDE!!!!
Or, as the late Carl Sagan would say....BILLLLIONS AND BILLLLLIONS
* millions of people
@@DTavona Millions dude, Millions!!!!
One of those moments where you truly can't believe what you're watching
Best quote that summarizes all of this: “im such a fuckin nerd”
I like "I am uncontrollably not OK"
@@Da40kOrks same
You don't have to be a nerd to like Star Wars. Everyone forgets that the original went super viral. They even used a quote in a session of Congress. EVERYONE loved the originals. It says a lot how the later movies didn't stand up with the same kind of interest despite having the ability to go anyway they wanted.
We all are we cried
John Favreau: This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way.
this is the Way
This is the way
*This is the way*
" Im such a nerd"
We're all here with you bro..
I rewatched that bit a couple of times, laughing through my tears, amazing
@@kds257 I think we all have... a few times. There is absolutely no shame in it. :)
I'm such a nerd of Star Wars 100%
Random guy: "This Squad against a bunch of Stormtroopers? They DON'T stand a chance."
Moff Gideon: "Activate the DarkTroopers."
Random guy: "EXCEPT for THAT."
I hope Mr Hamill has watched this to see how many fans are still in touch with him as Luke Skywalker
he did actually! he tweeted the link to the compilation of reaction videos
Yeah he tagged Mixed Reactions video of people seeing Luke again
That crying you hear is KK.
Imagine having fans screaming in excitement just for seeing your characters face again. George Lucas must be so damn proud!
I hope he is not proud but insane and ashamed. He basically tried to ruin his own best work at every opportunity for 30 years. It is only luck that saved it.
@BlindingHornet They were that bad, kid. Just because the sequels were worse doesn't make them good.
@BlindingHornet Yes they were. What an argument.
@@Biomirth You think the Prequels are bad because you don't understand them.
@@DropkickNation they aren't definitively bad, they're interpretive. The storyline is something the saga wasn't used to but it did the absolute best it could to be received by fans, especially in a fanbase where about 60% of the fans are pessimists and approach every film with criticism. There's no way to make a perfect addition because fans will always criticize. Even here and after the episode people were complaining about the CGI in a single take
"This is the best fucking shit that has ever happened in this shit" such wise words

I had a feeling that it was going to be Luke to hear Grogu's request at the Tython rocks but had no idea how they were going to connect them. This ending was done perfectly. I still come back and re-watch this episode on the regular. We never got to see Luke at the height of his abilities until this scene.
Fact: I've watched this reaction video more than the sequel trilogy.
When I'm feeling down, I watch this video and it gets me back up!
SAme
Me too 😂😂😂
Same
Me tooooo!!! Lol 😢😭🙏❤
Favreau and Filoni:
"And now, young viewer, you will CRY!"
And the old ones too.
And still cry I do, yes.
All viewers bro, unless you are a droid
I was 5 years when Star Wars (episode IV) was first released.
Seeing Luke is like seeing a long time missed friend.
Yesss
My 10 Year old cousin, who had NEVER seen any Star Wars films, but knew who Luke Skywalker was.
She was historically jumping around my living room, with tears and joy through the last act of the Episode.
That there, is how Star Wars should always be done.
My 14 year old who had never watched a single Star Wars film, fell in love with Grogu and Mandalorian and even SHE knew who Luke Skywalker was!!
Historically? So good it'll be remembered or like someone from history? Hysterically maybe?
I watching this video three years later and I have tears of joy in my eyes all over again. lol
