"The force is with you, young Skywalker... but you are not a Jedi yet."
FAVORITE LINE & SHOT OF THE WHOLE GODDAMN TRILOGY
Same
Just the tone that James Earl Jones used with that second half of the sentence: "...but you are not a Jedi yet." it wasn't sarcasm, but there was derision. This was the first time the two characters had ever faced one another...but even more importantly, this was the first time Anakin had been in the presence of his only known offspring. This was his son...and he was pulling his punches during the fight--but here the arrogance and confidence of Anakin was on display. "Yes, I know you're my only child, and have some talent in the Force...but you have absolutely NO chance against me."
So he threw some shade on Luke, knowing the mind game is part of the way to beat him, so he wouldn't have to kill him...because even then, in the depth of despair of BOTH father and son, Anakin still cared enough for Luke to give him a fighting chance to survive.
Remember, never once does Vader say "Now you will die." He always says, "You will meet your destiny." That's some cognitive dissonance for Anakin to not even be able to mention to his son he could kill him. Even at his most evil, he cares for Luke at some level...and that shred of humanity, that love for his son (and perhaps as the last part of Padme that survived) is what Luke works on in Return of the Jedi to finally pull his father back from the depths of darkness.
You also forgot to mention just how good a performance Mark Hamill delivers in this, and throughout the OT. More than anyone else, he had to work opposite droids and creatures and blue screen effects and he makes them all look convincing. Plus, more than any other character, Luke grows and changes throughout the OT. He was a likable yet naive kid in ANH, here he's a skilled yet reckless Rebel, and he'll be a haunted and thoughtful Jedi in ROTJ. And he played each phase perfectly.
Empire Strikes Back is one of the greatest films of all time
It Still holds 3 generations of Espedal's at attention!!! Four ogiyutiser's up!!!
@moabite sounds shit, I didn’t know they made 11 godfather movies. Don’t these people know when to stop?
and Last Jedi is one of the worst films of all time. Funny that. The universe finds a way to balance the equation.
Purefoldnz the prophecy of the Chosen One was about the saga itself lol
@@ieatzebraarah ahaha yes balance restored.
I think the most underrated Yoda line is "For 800 years have I trained Jedi, my own counsel I will keep on who is to be trained". Just is so subtle way to acknowledge how the Jedi Order failed
Then Ben bullies him into training Skywalker anyway. Again!
The Force is with you, young Skywalker... but you are not a Jedi yet.
Still gives me chills when I watch it now.
Imagine being in the 80s and not having any history of Yoda. Seeing him lift the X Wing for the first time must have been amazing
It was.
That was me!
I was one of the lucky people who watched this movie in the theatre (13 times) when it came out in 1980. When it ended I was very upset , worried about Han and knowing I would have to wait 3 years to find out what came next. ESB is definitely my favourite movie of all time. It truly is a perfect movie.
Yoda walked so Mr. Miagi could wax on.
Just binged Cobra Kai... this is so true
Edit: Also the struggle with the Dark Side and an angry young man growing up still burdened by his failures and worst instincts... and that guy being the hero of the first trilogy...is so real
It's interesting you guys didn't bring up Mark Hamill's car accident. That's why they have the janky monster on Hoth.
Wait what! Never heard of this
@@ossiecrick3883 Yeah, he got in a bad wreck after filming New Hope. Busted his nose and broke his cheek bone. They say it was technically written in, but it sure helped explain the scars.
That's right.
I was just going to say this. 'Corvette Summer' was the movie, I believe, he was doing when he had the accident.
Lucas refuted this. Says he had it in the script the whole time. Happy coincidence or Lucas BS?
The reason they don't wear seatbelts in the Falcon is the internal compensator which creates an artificial gravity field on the ship, all space ships have it in order to make sure people won't pass out from the Gs. Techy answer and all but just pointing it out
Plus there is no up or down in space. Only the slight gravitational pull of the ships that is easily overpowered by the artificial gravity that you talk about
We previously saw this in ANH in the gunport sequence. The turrets are located at the top and bottom of the ship, but gravity is adjusted to that Han & Luke can sit in the seats normally without drag.
I saw Star Wars in the theater when it came out, one of the most memorable moments of my childhood. They kept on releasing it every summer thereafter, and I went to see it after begging my mom to let me it by myself 😊 The 3 year wait...I mean it was forever...for Empire. My mom took my sister and me, the theater was packed and we had to sit separately. Man what an experience.
Stuart Freeborn is seldom credited for his contribution to the success of Yoda. Frank Oz deserves every bit of praise he receives as the master puppeteer and performer he is; but master craftsman Stuart Freeborn created the Yoda puppet modelled on himself and Albert Einstein. Yoda's resemblance to Freeborn is breathtaking.
To round it out as you discussed, Mark Hamill's brilliant performance can't be understated when discussing what it took to bring Yoda to life and make him so believable and lovable on screen.
Easily the best STAR WARS movie and one of the best films of all time thanks to Irvin Kershner.
the snow monster scene was added to explain Luke's different nose after Mark had a car accident. at least that's what I've heard.
Correct
The soundtrack (especially Yoda picking up the x-wing), Yoda himself, the looks of the planets, the hundreds of quotable lines,the mother of all twists, the characters really shining the hardest they will ever shine in the series, easily the best Star Wars movie (although Revenge of the Sith was my childhood) and one of the best movies of all time.
You can thank jum Henson for that the absolute legend
Chewie (and Groot) just work so well, you know what they’re saying without understanding a word of it. And his emotions when Han is missing, then when he’s telling him to protect Leia, some of the most heartbreaking parts of the film.
At 12:00, I think the reason the AT-AT Walker only blows up when it's on its knees is because of the gap between the Walker's head and neck. That gap *is* vulnerable to blaster fire, but it's harder to hit when the Walker is on its fit than when it's on its knees.
I’m surprised you guys did not even mention the score of this movie. It was brilliant.
I was only four when this movie came out, but I was 7 when Return of the Jedi dropped, and by then Star Wars had become so much a part of me, the anticipation was real.
But, after that all we got was a couple of made-for-TV Ewok Adventures and some books, comics and video games to hold us over for another 15 years.
That sucked
As a young kid who lived Star Wars on original release, that was a LONG three years between Empire and Jedi. Years were long then anyway, but I doubt a day passed where my friends and myself did not discuss the ending of Empire and what was going to happen.
My brother and I were still kids when we saw this in the 80’s. We had to wait in the Cdn snow to get in the theatre. We debated the whole three yrs and we both agreed he was his father.
This cold open aged perfectly 👌😂
Empire, the best of the franchise. Thanks for the animation on this one!
I always thought that Vader tortured Han and Leia because he knew Luke would come to help them. I mean, right? That is why Luke left Yoda, he felt they were in pain at Cloud City. Yoda tells him that he saw the future. A few scenes later, the torture begins.
Re: 26:18, on the contrary. Luke does affect the situation. He's too late to help Han, but at least he's out of Vader's clutches. But when he shows up, Vader seems to lose interest in the others. He sends them away so he can focus on Luke, which gives Lando the chance to help them escape. If Luke hadn't gone to the rescue, I'm sure Vader would've cut his losses, spaced Leia & Chewie, and melted Threepio down. Yes, Luke lost the duel, but, to quote "M*A*S*H", he "screwed up in reverse" and helped his friends.
One aspect of this movie I’ve always loved is how during the time skip, Luke has clearly earned rank within the alliance and I think they call him commander a few times? I’ve always loved that, especially as someone who grew up on prequel media, it reminded me a lot of anakin who we see in the clone wars is actually a great general.
One of my first solid memories is seeing this at the theater as a 2 year old.
Yeah. I was 10. Amazing experience.
I have a strong memory of seeing ANH at age 5.
ESB is an extremely draining film in the last 3rd, in the best way possible. I get chills every time Luke reacts to Vader's reveal. Also earlier when Yoda says "you will be..."
I think one of the cool things revolving around the whole classic reveal, while Kershner told Mark Hamill just before they shot the scene that Vader was his father and that along with Lucas they were the only ones to know for awhile, for the practical shooting for secrecy's sake they have the guy in the suit (forget his name) say "Obi-wan killed your father", which still reasonably fits Luke's reaction. He would've been devastated in the moment to a huge degree to learn his mentor is the one who smoked his dad (even had it later shown to be something like justified self defense).
One great scene was when the admiral walks into Vader’s meditation chamber and you catch a glimpse of Vader’s scarred head. At this point, you didn’t know who he was, if he was human or alien. Now the audience knows a slight glimpse of the human before we knew him as Anakin Skywalker.
One of my favorite channels just uploaded a video on debatably my favorite movie of all time. The perfect Friday afternoon does exist!
Went to see it in my local cinema today. I’ve always wanted to see it on the big screen....and boy does it look amazing. The sound of the music and effects, the cinematic scenes and imagery. Honestly even though I’ve seen it so many times seeing it on the big screen for the first time has always been a wish of mine. I had chills and goosebumps. Honestly 40 years on this film is still amazing. My favourite film of all time and I think the best film ever. Beyond a film it’s an icon.
This movie changed my life!!! YOUR Doc changed my next one!! Well done....
What seems to be missing in the final episodes of the Star Wars saga, especially in 'Solo - A Star Wars Story' is the lack of bright front lighting in most of the scenes and adding of too much blue to the color palate of the film. This is a subject that is seldom covered in these types of videos.
If Lucas’s wife stayed for the prequels, the prequels would be known as the best movies in the saga
Oh, but that poor, POOR AT/AT that Luke blew up by rappelling up and tossing a grenade in the hatch was pregnant, people! Let's not forget!
"We're in a War, we're in a War!" 🤣
Wow I had the irresistible urge to watch this yesterday.... Actually rented it from TH-cam lol
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is the best in the series -- and one of the best space operas ever produced. If any of the films defined the franchise, it is TESB.
empire may be the best but only one filmed defined star wars and it was called STAR WARS ::: :
Hamill didn't find out in the moment. It was the opposite; Lucas told Mark the secret in advance, nobody else knew. On set, Prouse said "Obi-wan killed your father", but Hamill knew the JEJ voiceover was going to be "I am your father" and reacted accordingly.
I feel like in AOTC when Anakin and Dooku fight and Anakin cuts the lights, they were trying to re-create the lighting of the Vader/Luke fight on cloud city
Love the intro!
This aged well with Guardians of the Galaxy getting a Holiday Special on Disney+
‘Then I’ll see you in’....an ancient earth word that has no reason to exist in this galaxy, especially when it was most notably in reference to Christianity and other earth religions....
Also why are they speaking earth?! Do they have a word from deja vu, or other foreign earth language words that are used in english? ....makes-no sense when you think about it....but it’s amazing...so all is forgiven
Obi’s fight in dual of fates is fantastic....that back forward overhead block is awesome
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back *(1977)*
There it is
I came here for this comment.
I don't get it
@@KerioFive Empire came out in 1980
Hunter Schoumacher i know , did they get that wrong?
I remembered watching this movie as a 6 year old kid in the cinema, not knowing a word of English, being bored and confused as hell. “What? Father? Huh?” “So much talking.” “What kinda ending is that??!!” I did not understand the concept of a trilogy at that time. This is a great movie after watching it when I was older, but as a kid I liked ROFJ a lot better. A more conclusive ending, a more flashy aerial battle. And yeah, the Ewoks worked for me as a kid 🤣
Guys! First time watcher! Fucking loved this video. You guys rule.
Whadddddup Nerd Soup....its simple...I click...no matter what...love
I never understood why Han needed to run at beginning because he was worried about the bounty hunters when they have Vader and the Empire at their doorstep also best Chewie roar when the door opens and Darth sitting there that was cool
Fresh soup on Friday, nice
Been waiting on this one
Never liked this as a kid because Luke lost at the end but now I appreciate how great it is.
@callmecatalyst Bro I was like 8, aint no 8 year old understanding that.
How is Nerd Soup not one the biggest podcast networks
Even though they're doing barrel rolls, they're in the void of space so they wouldn't "fall" out of their seat. "Down" is always in the direction of the floor (and they must have some sort of fake gravity or or something or else they'd be floating around).
As a kid I thought Han was so badass saying “never tell me the odds”, now it comes off as he’s terrified and living life by the seat of his pants, but he makes do
The fallen AT-AT blows up because the neck has less armor, if you watch it slowly the snowspeeder the first two shots hit the head and do nothing, and then the next two hit the neck which blows it up.
This rationalization only raises more questions. Why is the Empire so stupid that they would construct the AT-AT to only be able to fire forward AND construct its *very exposed* neck out of such a highly explosive material that it detonates the entire vehicle with 2 hits from a light aircraft? And why are the rebels somehow even more so stupid that they don't use this impossibly absurd design flaw to their advantage even after learning about it first-hand?
Idk if they knew the guardians Christmas special was going to come out, but if not, that is hilarious
Love these videos
Thank you for this
After "Empire" came out in 1980, the big debate was whether or not Vader was lying to Luke. At first there was a lot scepticism as to him really being his father, as a lot of fans thought Vader was just telling Luke a lie to trick him into joining him. That was the initial reaction to the big revelation in 1980 : was Vader telling the truth...
The Best of the Trilogy. Can't believe this movie is over 40 years old.
I can’t believe we haven’t had a good sequel on par with the original trilogy
I recently was able to take my kids to see this in the theater!
really love these videos and hearing your commentary!
Needed this.
It would be very difficult to improve on the dialogue in Empire. Also, I am extremely biased and love Star Wars.
Did you make a Freddy Got Fingered reference? “Buy, sell, buy, sell”. Hahah if so, well played.
Great review
I never noticed before today that Captain Needa moves his legs to help them pick up his 'lifeless' body. Looks really weird when you see it, looks a little like his legs were deflated.
The avengers Christmas special was killer
"I love you" "...Fuck off." hahahahahhaha
NERD SOUP FOR THE WIN!!
::hops over to iTunes for the commercial free experience::
everytime I see these movies or anything about them, I just wonder what I dont see in them that makes them so great. or even watchable
That sucks for u lol
They haven’t aged well but back in the day I can see why people loved it
@@chrislopez5301 it's really does lmao
people always talk about the greatest sequels being T2, Godfather, Aliens, big mommas house 2 but Empire for me might be the best sequel ever made
How you gonna do my boy Dak like that? Haha
Empire Strikes Back is legitimately such a defining film for the franchise (RIP Leigh Brackett and Irvin Kershner). The Force assisting those who trusted in it with full faith comes through in Return and Force Awakens and Last Jedi so well that it seems a shame when Rise of Skywalker felt the urge to explain it away with their own version of midichlorians by attaching it to magical bloodlines like a Dungeons and Dragons magic system or Tolkien heroic destiny.
The entire lesson of Luke's struggle with faith in Empire, his refusal to listen to Yoda or even believe, hits a bullseye when you see Rey do the exact opposite in TLJ and fully embrace that wonder. Then it just kind of falls flat when the next movie autopilots into blood tests and family trees.
Great review of the greatest film ever made
Yoda was based on a Taoist Hermit, so amine using that trope is natural.
RIP Chadwick Boseman 🙏🏽
Lucas was in the writers guild directors guild. He pulled out after empire because they fined him $200,000 for having no acting credits at the start of the film.
Hey at least you guys pronounced characters names right this time.
So I was rewatching this video because I was bored and just realized they foreshadowed the MCU Guardians Christmas Special years before it happened 😂
The Super Star Destroyer set is amazing
Nerd Soup
Vader tortured Han I think, so Luke would get visons of it through the force, therefore, drawing Luke into Cloud City.
nerdsoup masterclass, whats new
what a birthday present
Do a top 10 ALL Star Wars media, movies, videos games, tv series etc. like I would rank fallen order, Kotor and the Mandalorian in the top 10 easily and over the prequel and sequel trilogy
diggin the ASMR intro
Looks like im having soup for breakfast.
“I don’t get puppets.”
didn't yoda mean vader? when he said there is another?...its his story not luke's ...he made the choice in the end..
The downed ATAT blew up b/c the second bolt hit the neck, the only weak spot on the body.
Disney took an epic space couple like Han and Leia and fuck it up. Their kind of love would have lasted with them driving each other crazy long into old age. Kylo’s story was so mishandled.
10/10 every time
Annnd They’re doing a guardians holiday special!!
For midichlorians I always just saw it as their potential power level
Your vids are great guys, keep it up. Do some X-men movie revisits
Did we really watch the same sequel fights, I think you're one of the only people I've seen praise them. The prequel fights make sense IMO when you consider they're jedi in their prime, they can see the future so it makes sense that their fights have that back and forth.
I remember watching the Xmas special on tv. I thought it was great. Ya I'm old
I thought it was a fever dream. Nah - it was real
22:24 "nobody's wearing seatbelts, and they're doing a lot of barrel rolls"
Artificial gravity always points towards the floor of the ship. They'll feel some force due to the roll, but they'll never feel upside down
It doesn’t matter which way gravity “points” if they’re rolling around without seatbelts. They would immediately slam into the side of the ship. And if the AG was strong enough to prevent them from flopping around, they would be suffocated under their own weight.
Your title of Empire Strikes Back onscreen at about 1:00 is wrongly dated as 1977. It was 1980.
Beau: Mentions Hunter x Hunter
My nether regions: Immediately engorged
was about to close the video until i heard curls fuck it ill sub
"Top 10 flier" .. wait till Jaina Solo is born
RIP Daq... Dak...
