Dude, screw people who go off on you in the comments. You're like the funniest and one of best reactors on TH-cam. You don't put out a bad reaction. You make me laugh out loud every time. Don't even respond to these trolls. Just keep pumping out this awesome content.
You are 100% right about the Vader scene. In the original cuts, he didn’t even yell,”no!” Before saving Luke. You know exactly what he’s thinking and feeling.
Lucas never stopped messing w/ the originals which were amazing as they were. He kept adding & adding b/c of cgi. I had the vhs which said " the original movies for one last time..." yea over & over. I also thought adding hayden as vadwr was weird. I also hated jedi rocks in jabas palace so unnessesary. The prequels were not good until revenge of the sith. That movie was brilliant & it did put politics of the time in.
For all the years before the prequels, the force ghost was of Sebastian Shaw, the guy who played Vader. He was just cleaned up and not jacked up. In 2004, the image was replaced by Hayden Christensen.
“I’ve always known.”-Leia I don’t think she meant she knew Luke was her brother. What she knew was that there was a pull towards him & she could tell that he was her other half. She knew she was drawn to him through love. She just wasn’t clear as to why and how she loved him, especially since she loved Han equally but differently. I personally absolutely love all three trilogy series. And the shows are really enjoyable too.
I kinda think of it as the same way Lorraine Bates knows when she kissed Marty McFly while they were in the parked car ay the dance. She says she doesn't know why, she just Knows it's not right because she feels like she's kissing her brother. It's possible when Leia kissed Luke in the medical room in ANH, she had that reaction, because she Never kissed or flirted with Luke again. She and Han Solo took off from there. Tbh, I was never a fan of the Han - Leia relationship, either
Here's something gruesome to consider about the Ewoks and that final celebration at the end: We established that the Ewoks were going to eat the Rebels before 3POs flying act saved them. Where did they get the food for the celebration, and what happened to all those Imperial prisoners?
@@codymoe4986They weren’t. The soldiers were originally clones, but over the years the clone population was phased out and the stormtroopers were made up of people that were either snatched from their families at a young age or were recruited. The clones had accelerated growth rates and were forced to be retired earlier than one might think.
"Vader choked about 37 people on these movies." -- You aint seen nothing yet. "Thats how he dies?! I thought he was important important" -- No, yes, well... sigh.
HAN: I love you LEIA: I know. Everybody and their cat beings up when Han says this to Leia, but the reversal pay-off to that moment here is so satisfying. Leia even is more savage because she gets final word on it. I love this trilogy. 🤙
Before the prequel’s came out, the original force ghost was an older Anakin Skywalker played by the same actor that played him without his helmet on, Sebastian Shaw. After the prequel’s, in order to connect the past movies with the present movies, they chose to put Anakin as he was before he turned evil. Hence Hayden Christiansen.
This is very true. Only in the last 5 years have I come to see that Luke's true strength, his first act as a Jedi, is to throw away his saber and see that Yoda was trying to teach him a non-violent path in Empire.
Her saying “I’ve always known” just means she’s always felt a connection to him. There’s no way she actually could have known they were siblings. She just felt a strong connection (the force, and because they are siblings).
No, i think she's saying she's always known he was her brother. But the way she said it, it's clear it was deep down, and didn't know on a conscious level. That's why she said, "Somehow." Luke's saying it to her just brought it to the surface.
@@trekkiejunk Yeah, kind of what I said. Just a different way of saying it. Both my opinion and yours are just opinions. One opinion I don’t believe, which some do, is that she was being literal. That she literally knew they were siblings. It was a recollection statement of “oh, now it all makes sense”. She felt a connection which she (and he) might have mis interpreted as a romantic connection (which I don’t think they ever actually truly had a romantic connection, they were both just confused on what the connection was).
"I'll never turn to the Dark Side. You've failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me." "So be it... Jedi!" Fun Fact: The growls and sounds of the Rancor in Jabba's Palace were actually made by a dachsund. Stage Actor Fact: Ian McDiarmid, a prolific stage actor, based his character's unusual voice on the Japanese method of using your stomach to project yourself. The result was a strange, guttural croak that Lucas decided was perfect. Hot Take Fact: During the shot in which Salacious Crumb (the small, annoying, rat-like thing that sits with Jabba in his palace) is chewing off C-3PO's eye, Anthony Daniels had a panic attack while in the C-3PO suit. While filming, he didn't actually say his lines (all of his lines were dubbed in post-production anyway), but repeated "Get me up! Get me up!" over and over. This is the take used in the final cut. Pinocchio's Revenge Fact: It took six people to work the full-sized animatronic of Jabba the Hutt. The puppet fit three men inside -two to operate the arms, head and tongue and another to move the tail. A man lying below the puppet pulled strings to move Jabba's mouth and make his sides heave. And two radio operators controlled the slimy goon's eyes, including pupil dilation, direction and wideness of eyelids. A final crew member was responsible for rubbing gel on the puppet to give Jabba his slimy look. Revenge Of The Ewok Fact: The Endor shots were filmed near Crescent City, California. Forest work was especially hard on the Ewok actors. Production assistant Ian Bryce arrived on the set one day to find a note from the Ewok actors saying that they had all had enough and they were on their way to the airport. Bryce tried to drive to the airport, but got a flat tire not far from the set. He found another car and was about to leave when the Ewoks' bus pulled up, then all the Ewok actors got off wearing "Revenge Of The Ewok" t-shirts.
J saying "Oh look at it, its cute" then immediately after "Eugh. Its so f**** ugly" had me wheezing. I love watching movies with you! Your commentary always cracks me up.
You know the funny thing about the ones complaining about what you react to? They're still watching every minute of every reaction. Keep doing what you do, J and Blank. I thoroughly enjoy every single bit of every reaction I watch. 🔥🔥
Many people don't notice that Luke's outfit goes from white to gray, and from gray to black. It's meant to symbolize his struggling with the temptation of the Dark Side.
I'm so glad you said Vader's acting was some of the best you've ever seen. Everything you said is so real. David Prowse in the suit, and Mr. Jones' voice work, they just fully understood their aspect of the character and it came together to create something so special. The prequels are awesome man, you're gonna dig em ✊🏽
I feel like a lot of people forget the Ewoks were going to eat out heroes. You know they was eating some roast stormtroopers after that fight. Glad to see you love these J. These movies held so much for so many of us. In Jabba's palace after Luke killed the rancor the guy was crying. In the books he was the keeper for the beast. He and the creature had a special bond and he hated that it was being mistreated in the care of Jabba. He had a plan to escape with the rancor so it could live free in the open on another planet. Luke killed it the day before they were set to escape. That's why he was heartbroken. Ready to see you get to the next movies. I told you you'd meet those SW haters. They can f*** off at lightspeed. The real fans welcome you with open arms. There's no wrong way to love Star Wars. It's about finding what YOU love about the franchise. There's something for everyone.
I love how much the SWU has expanded, so that characters who don’t really even qualify as side characters in the movies still have their own stories told. I can’t think of another franchise in which this has been done so extensively for characters who might just happen to walk by the background.
@@0okaminoThat's why so many fans are really angry with Disney. The lie that they Have to create brand new stories is complete bs. There's So Much they could go to that's incredibly good that most people don't know about is massive. The comic books, novelizations, radio dramas, SW novels, and anthologies are amazing. I highly recommend the Tales Of/From anthologies. Tales From The Mos Eisley Cantina and Jabba's Palaces are a Must for SW fans who want to Know more about that universe
George Lucas did some CGI messing around with the original 3 movies. I had them on VHS and bought the DVDs when they came out. Kinda pissed me off that he messed with my memories. In the original, the three ghosts at the end were Obi Wan, Yoda, and the actor you just saw when Like took Vader's helmet off. His ghost was healthy looking (face restored) and wearing the nice guy Jedi robes like Obi Wan. What you saw was the actor from later episodes CGIed in there. For me it's a wtf moment.
@@galacticrepublic3732 I also grew up with the original trilogy and I don't agree with anything *you* just said. What Lucas did was to mess up something already created, establised for decades, and perfect the way it was. Yes, we all get that he was trying to retcon them to fit in with the vastly inferior prequels and the idea was to show the ghost Anakin when he was young and good, but in reality it was just a way to clumsily shoehorn in Hayden Christensen, who looks completely out of place in that shot. Besides, Luke didn't grow up seeing or knowing Hayden's Anakin. He literally just saw his father's face for the first time when Vader's mask was removed, so it would have made far more sense for the force ghost to remain as the happy death-bed-reformed Sebastian Shaw version.
@@galacticrepublic3732absolutely not. If Georgie wanted to make anything fit in better with anything, then he should have made the Prequels fit better with the Original Trilogy. Making changes to events, character choices, dialogue and pacing in the original trilogy to suit his newer projects is a sign of a lazy writer. It changes what was a major cultural Event and timeless story and replaces it with a counterfeit. It is no different from publishers taking long established Books and rewriting them to fit current values.
For two movies you've been saying "Man she's bad" and all I could think was, "Just wait till Jedi". Your reaction did not disappoint! I would argue it is one of, if not the, most iconic bombshell outfits in all of movies.
A lot of people will say that Leia saying she's always known wasn't that she knew that they were twins, but you're right that it's still weird. I would've worded it something like "I know. Ever since I met you, I've felt this connection to you. I just didn't know what it meant."
That’s similar to the way I interpreted it. I always took that to mean she didn’t consciously know, but after hearing Luke say it, she acknowledged the intangible connection she felt, but couldn’t define. And too much gets made of “the kiss.” That wasn’t a real kiss, that nonsense was a closed mouth smooch and was just for show to put Han in his place. I’ve smooched my sister, mom, grandma, aunts, female cousins and none of it was weird or inappropriate. People acting grossed out like Luke & Leia had a passionate, lusty make out kiss need to GTFO with that childish nonsense.
Leia didn't actually know. She wasn't keeping it secret or anything. She just felt very connected to Luke and learning she was his sister she realized that feeling was because they were family.
Jay, you made me feel like the first time I watched 'Return of the Jedi', Sunday May 29, 1983... my parents drove me the 2 hours to the city's best Theater, and stood in line with me several hours to see it... (I didn’t realize at the time how hard that was for them, with their arthritis & other problems.. Now that I'm old enough to myself feel their pain- well,.. makes me appreciate them that much more...😢). Anywho, ThankYou, Jay. Really appreciate all you & Blank do! ✌💞 💝
The prequel series really isn't that bad. I think why people don't like it is because 1. It's a little more lighthearted as if Lucas was making it for his grandchildren - so not as dark. 2. There's also a love story involved (Luke & Leia had to come from somewhere) and people didn't want to see that. And 3. This was so anticipated, especially episode 1, that everyone thought it was going to change their life. When it didn't, they were disappointed. I think the high expectations is what made for most of the disappointment.
Don’t forget 1. the over cgi which made everything sterile and fake looking compared to the hand made sets and mixture of practical effects and hand made sets and models that made the original trilogy classic 2. The 3 hour long light saver battles that carried on for too long and ruined the tension, as well were way too choreographed so they lacked the emotional connection the original fights had which why not as much of a spectacle, were physical manifestations of the conflict between the characters 3. Bad/ poor dialogue and writing including plot holes, writer contrivance, over complicated story arcs and cheesy lines 4. Doing next to nothing with some of the high mark cast, who were there to fill in seats and appeal to new audience demographics 5. Massive re-hashing of the original trilogy to fit the prequel story-line, 6. medichlorians which destroy everything that the force was said to be in Empire Strikes back by Yoda and essentially boils down the force to dragon ball z power levels I also find the idea that the prequels are more cartoony to appeal to younger people, funny when Attack of the clones has assignations, torture, implied rape and mass murder and Revenge of the sith has literal genocide and murder of children in it never mind phantom menace’s massive case of political discussion, cause everyone nows that’s going to get the kids going, hearing about the senate’s no confidence vote and how it pertains to buearocratic removal of the chancellor yep kids will love that.
"2. There's also a love story involved (Luke & Leia had to come from somewhere) and people didn't want to see that.” So everyone loves the leia-Han love story from the original trilogy, in fact it’s one of the biggest love arcs in the franchise, but suddenly no one wants a love story in the prequels? Really? "that everyone thought it was going to change their life. When it didn't, they were disappointed. I think the high expectations is what made for most of the disappointment.” I can agree that there was massive hype for it and as such the disappointment was greater but the reason for that hype was because the original trilogy had been almost perfect, back when lucas did not have sole control over everything and was regulated and held to focus by other clans, directors, producers and writers Again the prequels are hated because of how much they let down everything the original series set down. No one was excited like they were when the rebels first take on the death stare in a new hope, there was no “oh man the rebels are getting owned” on both moment where you have the imperial walkers shooting down fleeing rebels and blowing up the shield generator in attack of the clones I will give the final battle between obi wan, Anakin, Emperor and Yoda some tops for being interesting and different, but again went on way too long and lost the tension it was holding. Christopher lee as Dooku was great but he was poorly used, there was no Luke vs Vader from empire moment between our heroes and him at all we had to look to the clone wars tv series to give us these moments.
The prequels are not "that bad" compared to the unconnected mess that are the Disney Sequels. But they are still so much worse than the original trilogy. Ewan McGregor can salvage even the worst dialogue, Natalie tried her best, but got even less to work with and Hayden never had a chance. When the Prequels came out, they were hated throughout (maybe excluding kids). Only with time they got somewhat "accepted", mostly through memes and then people convinced themselves that they were fond childhood memories. The prequels were somewhat redeemed by the clone wars show, which did, what everyone wanted to see, but the movies failed to deliver: show how Anakin turned to the dark side. Yes, not "that bad". Not "p*ssing on the grave" bad as the sequels. But also nowhere near the timeless quality of the originals. Watchable, as one can watch The Room or Birdemic or Trolls 2. To make fun of the dialogue; of the stupid midichlorians; to hate on Jar Jar; to make memes. Fun to watch ironically at least.
Fun Story about the metal bikini. Carrie Fisher had to have it taped down to make sure nothing flashed during filming. She had arranged a raffle for charity among the cast and crew with the winner of the raffle getting the honor of removing the tape at the end of the day. In the interview where Carrie talked about it, she said it was apparently going really well until George Lucas found out about it and shut the whole thing down.
@@samwallaceart288 There were almost no bras in 1983 anyway and the ones that were around (think Dicis) were mostly just suggestions and were designed to look like you weren't wearing one.
I work as a paramedic. When your vids come on I look forward to the way your going to react because I know I’m gonna be laughing my ass off. It’s a relief after a stressful day. Keep this up even if you may have seen along time ago, know things etc and forgotten things b/c you are the GOAT of reactioners!
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
when it comes to changes the earlier drafts had the 2nd deathstar situated over Kashyyyk and it was going to be a whole freeing the wookie slaves while killing the emperor story but the budget couldn't afford that many chewie sized costumes they downsized and did this
@@canadianbakin1304 That would undoubtedly have been both better and more credible. I still think this is the 3rd best Star Wars Movie after 5 and 4 but the Ewoks drag it down.
Three points. First, this "update" has three of the worst CGI additions in the series: the singing thing in Jabba's palace, the beak in the sarlaac, and worst of all, Vader's "Nooo". That was so much more impactful when he just did it in silence. Second, Lando's copilot was speaking a real language. It was a dialect of Kenyan spoken by a native speaker. They say that when the movie was released in Kenya, the theaters were packed with people standing in the aisles just to hear those lines. Lastly, I don't know what the speeds were in the movie, but this is how they worked in the West End Games rpg. That game had maps of different sector with the various star systems and main routes. The main routes were basically weel travelled up updated paths between the star systems and ship captains could upload the latest updates at the port before leaving, for a fee, to make plotting their course easier. The maps had times printed on them. This could be hours to days or weeks. This was the travel time along the route at a x1 hyperdrive. Most hyperdrives were from x2 to x4, meaning you multiplied the base number by that to see how long it would take to get to your destination. The Millennium Falcon had a x0.5, very fast, very illegal and unreliable. Backup emergency hyperdrives were x8 to x10. Times could be improved with the navigation skill.
I didn't mind Vader's final "No... No!", to me it remains as impactful, when we hear him change his mind in that moment. I'd replace that with changing Anakin's Force ghost into the young form, THAT really sucks the impact of that moment away from me and it keeps confusing the heck outta new viewers, completely breaking that moment for them too. Otherwise yeah, those CGI bits in the Jabba act of the movie were so unnecessary and they look unnatural.
But... but... we wouldn't know what Vader was thinking during that moment otherwise... we all needed him to say "no....... noooooooooooooo" for it to make sense lol It's so ridiculous. I'm honestly surprised they didn't have a thought bubble or memory montage in there too just IN CASE people didn't quite get that he was conflicted.
@@lassesipila6418 Well, new viewers are supposed to start with Episode 1. Then Hayden Christensen popping up as a Force Ghost makes sense. Sure, they will know the relationship between Luke, Vader and Leia as they start Episode 4 but those reveals are best suited for TH-cam Channels anyway. Chronological order is always gonna be easier to grasp. In any franchise.
Just gotta say, they changed some of the music in this movie when they did the digital remasters. Personally, the old music was MUCH better. The music in Jabba’s palace, and at the end celebrating their victory. If you’re ever able to watch the original footage, definitely do so, it’s sooooo much better
Vader was played by three people in this movie (not including the stunt men and Hayden Christensen at the end). James Earl Jones was the voice, Sabastian Shaw was unmasked Vader, and 6ft 6in tall David Prowse was in the suit.
There will always be people that want to bring you down to their level. I've been here from the start of this channel. You have watched movies I personally hate. My response was " I really hate this movie, but Jay will make it fun, regardless." I think you are giving people too much attention just by acknowledging them. I haven't commented in a while, but I'm still here: you know the love is genuine. Much love to you and your babies. ;)
These Star Wars reactions were how I found your channel. Your comparison to Titanic was a brilliant response to the hate comments, "everyone knew the ship was gonna sink," and you are very funny, charming, and seem like you just enjoy watching new movies. I have officially subbed, and I can't wait to continue watching your reactions. I hope you have a great day sir.
Imperial Shuttle is what Vader arrived on. And yes it has a couple forward blasters for emergencies. Boba Fett didn't die in the Sarlac, he escapes. His Mandalorian Armor protected him. If you pay attention you will recognize the voice of the Scout Trooper that got the drop on Leia, it's Harrison Ford playing that bit part. Oh you haven't seen anything yet when it comes to the action of R2D2, that little Astromech has seen ALL the action and has even fought characters.
This dude Jay said Fraggle Rock 😂 All the puppetry that you seen in the old movies, are done by the Jim Henson production. The same people that did the Muppets and the various characters of early Sesame Street As a matter of fact, Frank Oz, who voiced Yoda, also voiced other characters, like Ms. Piggy, Animal, Fozzy Bear and others Hope that was some enlightenment for you Murder Whistle 😁
And you're so right about Vader's performance. It is similar to C3PO throughout the series as well. No facial expressions, but the body language and the information we receive translates it all perfectly. Oh! Also, before they added in the young Anakin Skywalker at the end, it was the actor that played him during his death scene, but with hair and looking healthy.
I love how much you enjoy C3PO, as well as all of the humor in these movies. It's overlooked by a lot of the more jaded adults over the years. You really enjoyed and reacted to all the different moments just like we all did as children and as adults that have kept the inner child alive. Now you see why we've all been so obsessed with this stuff for all these years! 😂 Welcome to the club! May the force be with you.
She didn't always know. Leia has a different connection to the Force. She has deep empathic feelings and can sense things. She knew but she didn't know know...best way I could explain it.
There are a couple of videos on TH-cam that show what changes were done by Lucas to the Original trilogy, from the original theatrical release through all of the special editions and changes made. Let me know if you need the channel for these videos. They did it for all 3.
Billy D was misspronouncing Han since his debut appearance in Empire. They didn't bother to fix it in post when everyone was looping their lines because it was unique to their friendship. I have a friend I missprounced his name for decades. But, years ago when I made a active effort to correct it, he said it sounded weird now and go back to the wrong way. Lol. Anyway, George Lucas said to have Lando say Han's name right, and Billy D and Ford both agreed to continue missprouncing it. Lol. Ford loved f***ing with poor George. It adds to the charm of the series honestly.
Han is also generally fond of replacing short a sounds with a soft a, like saying "Millennium Faal-kin" instead of "Fal-kin", so he may just be jacking up his own name! I have a coworker named René, written as René (complete with accent) who says his own as Renny. But then he insists his dad's name is Di-yu-wane. We're like "Dwayne?" Nope, Di-yu--wane. Spelt Dwayne. Han may be my coworker's secret brother.
Seeing the growing likes makes me so happy. I’ve known this amazing channel was gonna explode like a Death Star. So well deserved! Happy for your current and future success!
💯💯💯 👏👏👏 People get their undies all twisted if you dont have the same exact experience as them. It's sad. Misery loves company.. Don't let them bring you down 💖
The actor Warwick Davis got his big movie break by being in Star Wars. He was about 11 or 12 years old and was a huge fan of the first 2 Star Wars. Then for Return of the Jedi George Lucas saying he needed people with Dwarfism to be cast for the Ewoks. Warwick Davis signed him up and he got to be a role in the film. he was the Ewok Wicket that found Leia after she crashed. If I remember correctly the original actor that was supposed to be Wicket got sick and Warwick Davis stepped in the role.
You know how we go like 65 miles an hour and stuff like that? Light speed is 136 miles per second. And can be enhanced if the spaceship is able to handle. The Falcon of course, definitely is
Forget thise people. Their just toxic. It's people wanting to say something just to start conflict. Your the best reactor out there. You keeping doing you brother. Watch what you want to watch. The real ones are here.
Love your stuff, JL. Keep doing what you do and making us laugh. On a separate note, this is my favorite of the Star Wars movies because you finally get to see (in the original series) what a Jedi in his prime can really do. When I watched this as a kid with my dad (on TV in the 90s) every time the troopers hit a tree, he would respond with "and we call that the Sonny Bono Special".
Actual Star Wars fan here! Who cares what people say, just sit back and enjoy. Although I personally dont care for movies 7-9, I do throughly enjoy almost anything thats Star Wars (pre-disney but some of it is ok) and would welcome anyone who is starting their journey in to Star Wars.
The keeper cried over the loss of his pet rancor. He raised it from a baby, took care of it, loved it, then Luke killed it. So he cried. In the original, Han didn't say, "I can see a lot better now." Instead he said the much better line, "It's all right, trust me." "Fly casual." Threepio in previous movie: "I'm afraid I'm not very good at telling stories." Harry's 6'1" & Carrie was 5'1". So Harry-Carrie had a foot difference in height. Just as Lando keeps called Han "Hann," many people in the movies call Leia "Leah." The Ewoks sounding their horn in celebration is the exact same sound effect as the Hebrew shofars blowing to sound the start of the Exodus in the 1956 version of Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, which plays on ABC on or around Easter weekend every year! All those preprequel years, the actor who played dying Vader stood next to Yoda and Obi-Wan, but looking healthy, uninjured, and joyful.
someone may have already commented but in the original release of Star Wars at the end it shows obi, Yoda and the actor who played Vader, but when they made the prequels they added Hayden who played Anakin/vader to tie all the movies together
Jabba Weinstein made me laugh so hard! I love your channel and aways look forward to your reactions. Your commentary makes me laugh consistently and your laughter is contagious. Keep making these videos! ❤
"Is there something humorous, master?" "No, my friend . . . It's . . . Well, I have been revisited by those _visions_ I told you about" "The bears with sticks?" (hysterical cackling) _"bears with wooden sticks!"_ (wheezes) _"Killing a legion of my best men-- AGHAHAHA HAHAHEHEHE!"_ "Most humorous, indeed." "Ahh. . .! Hehe! . . Simply ludicrous. . . Anyways, _about your mission . . ."_
Since you asked, the speed of light is roughly 186000 miles per second. They are likely traveling much faster than that by several multiples. Keep in mind, light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to reach us, and these guys are jumping between several planetary systems with their own stars in a relatively short amount of time. Traveling at just the speed of light, would takes us a few thousand years to reach the nearest star to us.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to us after the sun. Something like four-and-a-half light years away. So at light speed, four years and a few months, so a little shy of a few thousand years.
The actor that occupied Darth Vader's suit most of the time (not the old man you see when Luke takes the mask off) was David Prowse, a well-known British actor (well-known in Britain at least) who was 6 feet 6 inches tall.
When the Return of the Jedi first came out when they showed the spirits of the former Jedi's they showed the old actor who pirtrayed Vader in his death scene. When they redid it they put the actor who played the younger Anakin Skywalker. What's messed up about it is why did Vader revert to his younger self but Obi-wan stayed old.
The theory is that he reverted to when he was last on the light side... I don't buy it myself and hate the "Special Editions", but I believe that is the explanation behind the bad choice.
The combination of James Earl Jones' voice and David Prowse in the suit was truly great. All the more disappointing they decided to replace Prowse during the unmasking scene. Thanks for the excellent reaction, J!
Hey it's Pauly from Detroit. Thanks for the shout out. Ok well what they did back then was have the actor who played Darth Vader in with Obi-Wan and Yoda. There was actually some backlash when this version came out and he was erased. As you yourself said No disrespect for Vader. Star Wars 3 answers your questions about Vader. Made my night laughing and enjoying a movie I have seen lots of time. Much respect, my friend! Peace!
idk if anybody mentioned this but Jabba's race/species are extremely powerful creatures. Like they are power houses, they just lazy af. Kinda like how pandas are literal bears that can tear you limb from limb, but they just choose not to bc they like being lazy. Additional fun fact believe in an interview when discussing the famous leia outfit, bc controversy etc, she ended her comment with The father who flipped out about it, 'What am I going to tell my kid about why she’s in that outfit?' Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage."
Haters gonna hate. But as far as I am concerned, I am thoroughly enjoying watching these movies with you. I’ve seen them so many times already, but a great story is about the journey, not just knowing the facts of the story. And you are making this journey fun. Return of the Jedi is the first Star Wars movie I ever saw, as a little kid, at a friend’s birthday party. His parents took everyone to the movies (to see this movie) and when back to their house for cake. I was a small kid and had zero idea what I had just seen, but it was fun and exciting and I wanted to be a Jedi after that. This is my favorite of all the Star Wars movies. (but I hate the retro-edits and CGI add ins of the newer releases). Thank you for sharing your Star Wars journey with us. I look forward to the rest of the movies with you. And pet those puppies for me!!
The original, before the Special Edition, had someone else appear as Vader at the end. The same actor who played Vader unmasked. This is one thing that annoyed people about the Special Edition.
Yeah, no gatekeeping needed. Forget that. Watching these first 3 with you has been as much fun as when I saw them as a kid in the theatre way back then. Thanks for being that real.
also the reason they had to use james earl jones for the voice was because the man in the suit had a thick scottish accent like shrek so look at his body movements and imagine that voice instead and the actor that was the emperor was a spry 37 during that time so big props for the makeup department of that time
I remember watching this and thinking they did Boba Fett so dirty cause of how he died. But, a fun fact is that in the Star Wars comic books it shows how he actually survived and escaped from inside the sarlacc pit.
i have yet to find someone to agree with me, but i REALLY liked Fett's "death" into the Sarlacc pit. George Lucas (and I agree) wanted to portray that sometimes sh!t **unpredictably** happens. To me, it gave the OT a "Game of Thrones" kinda reality where you never really know who is going to die and sometimes it wont even be epic....just like real life. I mean, really, i'd love to have cool death, myself, but I may just have a heart attack in traffic....or on the toilet. Very anti-climactic. Elvis died on the toilet. In fact, Lucas intended for Lando to die (fail to escape the exploding Death Star), but test audiences shot down the idea. George has killed Obi-wan, Yoda, and Biggs and had Lando go traitor. To me, it's a more unpredictable story-telling to think that at any moment, things or PEOPLE can go bad. Or good.
@@slchance8839 Yeah I can def. see that, especially coming from Han, it would've been even more funny if C3PO would've been the one to "accidentally" kill him. I think the main reason why I dislike it because of having more "lore" knowledge to the Mandalorian's, especially when it comes to Boba Fett. I didn't have a complain for Jango though since he died to Mace Windu. So it think it has to do with knowing MORE about Boba Fett than the first trilogy let on.
@@Density13 "So it think it has to do with knowing MORE about Boba Fett than the first trilogy let on." Which why it's so important to view movies - and specifically a movie universe - not as mythologized lore but as _movies_ that were produced in a certain order.
While Vader was dying, you can hear the sound of blaster shots in the background. That means stormtroopers were fighting over the escape pods. Also during the celebration, on one of the planets (Courrisant) you can see the citizens hoisting dead stormtroopers in the air. That is savage lol.
The Rancor beast In the dungeon In the beginning is just like a dog It needs a trainer but A bad owner and trainer can make a bad dog... they are usually very passive and faithful.. Tribal creatures
Love the reaction! I will now on think of C-3PO as Golden Seldon with Danny Glover knees. 😆 One small rant: I'm not a hardcore fan but my nostalgia is strong with these movies. I grew up watching the originals & even enjoyed the special editions but since Disney got their hands on them they've been tweakin' things & the final straw for me was when they added the "Nooo!" to the Vader saving Luke scene. It is so cringy. It's so much more powerful when you see the struggle & you don't know which side Vader's going to land on.
Lucas himself added the "Noooo!!!", unfortunately. Even the last round of more-tweaked Special Editions that premiered under Disney were actually done by Lucas, he just hadn't gotten around to releasing them before the sale. I shudder to think of what else he may have thrown in there if he hadn't let the franchise go.
@@pennygadget7328 Ah! Ok, I can understand it a little bit better then & that it wasn't just Disney saying "Let's just add this." I'm not the type for criticizing someone for changing their own work but at the same time Lucas should've had that *one* person around him say, "Whoa! You don't need to change every little thing. Just stop overthinking & let things lie." For example: How many times does Obi-Wan Kenobi's yell at the sand people need to change? Honestly I've almost forgotten what the original sounds like lol.
@@naiaddore1797 JL even mentions how you can read Vader's face in that scene without seeing his face, the stupid "noooo" was so unnecessary. Imo it's Lucas giving the finger to people clowning on Vader's "noooo" in Episode 3, á la "Oh you hated that? Well have some more assholes!" Nobody can convince me he doesn't do a lot of stuff at least somewhat out of spite.
11 year old me was sitting in the front row center of the movie theater and getting dizzy and light headed as hell and having the time of my life during the speeder bike scene in the forest.
Always liked him. They tried to bring the same actor into the Disney Sequels, but the actor was like "Are you gonna give me a real part or am I just a cameo?" And when he realized it was just gonna be a cameo he was like "Nah, I'll stay home." He made the right call IMO.
Hello from Saskatchewan, Canada. Love your channel...love your reactions. I would deeply enjoy and love to see your reactions to all the Star Trek movies...old first..then new. If you enjoy Star Wars....Star Trek was the original venture into space and the precursor to all space movies since. Keep us the amazing work! You rock brother!
10:37 I always loved that Luke Force chocked those pigmen. This was back when there were no Sith/Jedi, just Dark/Light Jedi in the franchise, before retconning happened over the years. Before there was really established lines between good/bad force powers as well. When it was how you used those powers not what powers you used.
Sith have maxed stats in Destruction and Illusion. Jedi invest in *_all_* skill trees. That's the way the OT always felt to me; the Jedi are the harder build, but the balanced build that will get you farther.

You are 100% right about the Vader scene. In the original cuts, he didn’t even yell,”no!” Before saving Luke. You know exactly what he’s thinking and feeling.
Exactly my thoughts as I'm watching that part. I hate how the "noooooooo" is added.
Exactly
@@wantutosigh1117- me too
Lucas never stopped messing w/ the originals which were amazing as they were. He kept adding & adding b/c of cgi. I had the vhs which said " the original movies for one last time..." yea over & over. I also thought adding hayden as vadwr was weird. I also hated jedi rocks in jabas palace so unnessesary. The prequels were not good until revenge of the sith. That movie was brilliant & it did put politics of the time in.
For all the years before the prequels, the force ghost was of Sebastian Shaw, the guy who played Vader. He was just cleaned up and not jacked up. In 2004, the image was replaced by Hayden Christensen.
One of the terrible changes George Lucas did to this trilogy.
Thank you for reminding me what his name was.
didn't know that, thank you! the change may make sense though, Anakin was at that age frame when he became Darth Vader.
The best change they could have made tbh
@@melissatokarczyk- 100% agree
“I’ve always known.”-Leia
I don’t think she meant she knew Luke was her brother. What she knew was that there was a pull towards him & she could tell that he was her other half. She knew she was drawn to him through love. She just wasn’t clear as to why and how she loved him, especially since she loved Han equally but differently.
I personally absolutely love all three trilogy series. And the shows are really enjoyable too.
You have one of the best explanation for Luke and Leia's relationship.
Nah, she knew because they were born on Polis Massa, the closest thing in space to Alabama. 🪕
@@rickardroach9075 Nah, Leia was raised on Alderaan. It's the Mississippi of the galaxy....And ladies and gentlemen, here's Darth Twitty!....
I kinda think of it as the same way Lorraine Bates knows when she kissed Marty McFly while they were in the parked car ay the dance.
She says she doesn't know why, she just Knows it's not right because she feels like she's kissing her brother.
It's possible when Leia kissed Luke in the medical room in ANH, she had that reaction, because she Never kissed or flirted with Luke again.
She and Han Solo took off from there.
Tbh, I was never a fan of the Han - Leia relationship, either
Leia Git Game, No Lie..
Here's something gruesome to consider about the Ewoks and that final celebration at the end:
We established that the Ewoks were going to eat the Rebels before 3POs flying act saved them.
Where did they get the food for the celebration, and what happened to all those Imperial prisoners?
They sure got a lot of stormtrooper helmets there to play as drums... what's the over/under on the heads still being inside?
If all the Stormtroopers were clones, does that mean they all taste the same?
@@codymoe4986They weren’t. The soldiers were originally clones, but over the years the clone population was phased out and the stormtroopers were made up of people that were either snatched from their families at a young age or were recruited. The clones had accelerated growth rates and were forced to be retired earlier than one might think.
@@pennygadget7328 The helmets were empty. The way that they sounded and swung after being hit strongly suggests that.
"Vader choked about 37 people on these movies." -- You aint seen nothing yet. "Thats how he dies?! I thought he was important important" -- No, yes, well... sigh.
HAN: I love you
LEIA: I know.
Everybody and their cat beings up when Han says this to Leia, but the reversal pay-off to that moment here is so satisfying. Leia even is more savage because she gets final word on it. I love this trilogy. 🤙
Not everyone has a cat.
@@K-dawg26 I don't even have a cat but stray cats will randomly bring this up along with Viggo Mortensen breaking his toe when he kicked the helmet.
Before the prequel’s came out, the original force ghost was an older Anakin Skywalker played by the same actor that played him without his helmet on, Sebastian Shaw. After the prequel’s, in order to connect the past movies with the present movies, they chose to put Anakin as he was before he turned evil. Hence Hayden Christiansen.
I love the original trilogy and in my opinion you can watch all three of them over and over and still get different things out of them every time.
This is very true. Only in the last 5 years have I come to see that Luke's true strength, his first act as a Jedi, is to throw away his saber and see that Yoda was trying to teach him a non-violent path in Empire.
Me too.
@@LordVolkovexactly
Nicely said 🐸🖖
@@LordVolkov Just curious, what did you think before why Luke threw away his lightsaber?
Her saying “I’ve always known” just means she’s always felt a connection to him. There’s no way she actually could have known they were siblings. She just felt a strong connection (the force, and because they are siblings).
No, i think she's saying she's always known he was her brother. But the way she said it, it's clear it was deep down, and didn't know on a conscious level. That's why she said, "Somehow." Luke's saying it to her just brought it to the surface.
@@trekkiejunk Yeah, kind of what I said. Just a different way of saying it. Both my opinion and yours are just opinions. One opinion I don’t believe, which some do, is that she was being literal. That she literally knew they were siblings. It was a recollection statement of “oh, now it all makes sense”. She felt a connection which she (and he) might have mis interpreted as a romantic connection (which I don’t think they ever actually truly had a romantic connection, they were both just confused on what the connection was).

Fun Fact: The growls and sounds of the Rancor in Jabba's Palace were actually made by a dachsund.
Stage Actor Fact: Ian McDiarmid, a prolific stage actor, based his character's unusual voice on the Japanese method of using your stomach to project yourself. The result was a strange, guttural croak that Lucas decided was perfect.
Hot Take Fact: During the shot in which Salacious Crumb (the small, annoying, rat-like thing that sits with Jabba in his palace) is chewing off C-3PO's eye, Anthony Daniels had a panic attack while in the C-3PO suit. While filming, he didn't actually say his lines (all of his lines were dubbed in post-production anyway), but repeated "Get me up! Get me up!" over and over. This is the take used in the final cut.
Pinocchio's Revenge Fact: It took six people to work the full-sized animatronic of Jabba the Hutt. The puppet fit three men inside -two to operate the arms, head and tongue and another to move the tail. A man lying below the puppet pulled strings to move Jabba's mouth and make his sides heave. And two radio operators controlled the slimy goon's eyes, including pupil dilation, direction and wideness of eyelids. A final crew member was responsible for rubbing gel on the puppet to give Jabba his slimy look.
Revenge Of The Ewok Fact: The Endor shots were filmed near Crescent City, California. Forest work was especially hard on the Ewok actors. Production assistant Ian Bryce arrived on the set one day to find a note from the Ewok actors saying that they had all had enough and they were on their way to the airport. Bryce tried to drive to the airport, but got a flat tire not far from the set. He found another car and was about to leave when the Ewoks' bus pulled up, then all the Ewok actors got off wearing "Revenge Of The Ewok" t-shirts.
"Oh, she's not key to the plot. She IS the plot!" What an epic reaction!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My wife and I have been loving watching J get all this cinema culture in him. You can tell he genuinely is enjoying this.
J saying "Oh look at it, its cute" then immediately after "Eugh. Its so f**** ugly" had me wheezing.
I love watching movies with you! Your commentary always cracks me up.
J: "Why he got lightning?"
A: The Emperor has powers many consider to be...unnatural...
Din Jarin in The Mandalorian is another great example of a character who can show great emotion without ever seeing their face.
John "Master Chief" is also a great in this category.
Definitely. They nailed the emotional body language in The Mandalorian
J makes watching these movies again so much fun...thank you.
Jabba Weinstein and Luke said BET! are such GOLD! 😂😂
You know the funny thing about the ones complaining about what you react to? They're still watching every minute of every reaction.
Keep doing what you do, J and Blank. I thoroughly enjoy every single bit of every reaction I watch. 🔥🔥
Many people don't notice that Luke's outfit goes from white to gray, and from gray to black. It's meant to symbolize his struggling with the temptation of the Dark Side.
I'm so glad you said Vader's acting was some of the best you've ever seen. Everything you said is so real. David Prowse in the suit, and Mr. Jones' voice work, they just fully understood their aspect of the character and it came together to create something so special. The prequels are awesome man, you're gonna dig em ✊🏽
I feel like a lot of people forget the Ewoks were going to eat out heroes. You know they was eating some roast stormtroopers after that fight. Glad to see you love these J. These movies held so much for so many of us. In Jabba's palace after Luke killed the rancor the guy was crying. In the books he was the keeper for the beast. He and the creature had a special bond and he hated that it was being mistreated in the care of Jabba. He had a plan to escape with the rancor so it could live free in the open on another planet. Luke killed it the day before they were set to escape. That's why he was heartbroken. Ready to see you get to the next movies. I told you you'd meet those SW haters. They can f*** off at lightspeed. The real fans welcome you with open arms. There's no wrong way to love Star Wars. It's about finding what YOU love about the franchise. There's something for everyone.
I love how much the SWU has expanded, so that characters who don’t really even qualify as side characters in the movies still have their own stories told. I can’t think of another franchise in which this has been done so extensively for characters who might just happen to walk by the background.
@@0okaminoThat's why so many fans are really angry with Disney. The lie that they Have to create brand new stories is complete bs. There's So Much they could go to that's incredibly good that most people don't know about is massive. The comic books, novelizations, radio dramas, SW novels, and anthologies are amazing.
I highly recommend the Tales Of/From anthologies. Tales From The Mos Eisley Cantina and Jabba's Palaces are a Must for SW fans who want to Know more about that universe
The only reactor I have heard think the person rescuing Han was Luke! 😂
George Lucas did some CGI messing around with the original 3 movies. I had them on VHS and bought the DVDs when they came out. Kinda pissed me off that he messed with my memories. In the original, the three ghosts at the end were Obi Wan, Yoda, and the actor you just saw when Like took Vader's helmet off. His ghost was healthy looking (face restored) and wearing the nice guy Jedi robes like Obi Wan. What you saw was the actor from later episodes CGIed in there. For me it's a wtf moment.
His name is Sebastian Shaw.
@@galacticrepublic3732except the first shot of Han Solo.
@@galacticrepublic3732 Then why not also have Ben and Yoda's ghosts look young? Fits more like a mitten. Retconning is lame.
@@galacticrepublic3732 I also grew up with the original trilogy and I don't agree with anything *you* just said. What Lucas did was to mess up something already created, establised for decades, and perfect the way it was. Yes, we all get that he was trying to retcon them to fit in with the vastly inferior prequels and the idea was to show the ghost Anakin when he was young and good, but in reality it was just a way to clumsily shoehorn in Hayden Christensen, who looks completely out of place in that shot. Besides, Luke didn't grow up seeing or knowing Hayden's Anakin. He literally just saw his father's face for the first time when Vader's mask was removed, so it would have made far more sense for the force ghost to remain as the happy death-bed-reformed Sebastian Shaw version.
@@galacticrepublic3732absolutely not.
If Georgie wanted to make anything fit in better with anything, then he should have made the Prequels fit better with the Original Trilogy.
Making changes to events, character choices, dialogue and pacing in the original trilogy to suit his newer projects is a sign of a lazy writer. It changes what was a major cultural Event and timeless story and replaces it with a counterfeit.
It is no different from publishers taking long established Books and rewriting them to fit current values.
For two movies you've been saying "Man she's bad" and all I could think was, "Just wait till Jedi". Your reaction did not disappoint! I would argue it is one of, if not the, most iconic bombshell outfits in all of movies.
A lot of people will say that Leia saying she's always known wasn't that she knew that they were twins, but you're right that it's still weird. I would've worded it something like "I know. Ever since I met you, I've felt this connection to you. I just didn't know what it meant."
Are you suggesting that George Lucas sometimes writes clunky dialogue?
@@JoeMama410 sometimes?
That’s similar to the way I interpreted it. I always took that to mean she didn’t consciously know, but after hearing Luke say it, she acknowledged the intangible connection she felt, but couldn’t define. And too much gets made of “the kiss.” That wasn’t a real kiss, that nonsense was a closed mouth smooch and was just for show to put Han in his place. I’ve smooched my sister, mom, grandma, aunts, female cousins and none of it was weird or inappropriate. People acting grossed out like Luke & Leia had a passionate, lusty make out kiss need to GTFO with that childish nonsense.
I always heard it as "Yeah, that time we kissed . . . It felt like kissing my brother. GOOD TO KNOW"
@@pablozee6359 Ya that kiss was for no other reason than to take Han down a few notches.
Leia didn't actually know. She wasn't keeping it secret or anything. She just felt very connected to Luke and learning she was his sister she realized that feeling was because they were family.
Jay, you made me feel like the first time I watched 'Return of the Jedi', Sunday May 29, 1983... my parents drove me the 2 hours to the city's best Theater, and stood in line with me several hours to see it... (I didn’t realize at the time how hard that was for them, with their arthritis & other problems..
Now that I'm old enough to myself feel their pain- well,.. makes me appreciate them that much more...😢). Anywho, ThankYou, Jay. Really appreciate all you & Blank do! ✌💞 💝
The prequel series really isn't that bad. I think why people don't like it is because 1. It's a little more lighthearted as if Lucas was making it for his grandchildren - so not as dark. 2. There's also a love story involved (Luke & Leia had to come from somewhere) and people didn't want to see that. And 3. This was so anticipated, especially episode 1, that everyone thought it was going to change their life. When it didn't, they were disappointed. I think the high expectations is what made for most of the disappointment.
4. Jar Jar Binks
Don’t forget
1. the over cgi which made everything sterile and fake looking compared to the hand made sets and mixture of practical effects and hand made sets and models that made the original trilogy classic
2. The 3 hour long light saver battles that carried on for too long and ruined the tension, as well were way too choreographed so they lacked the emotional connection the original fights had which why not as much of a spectacle, were physical manifestations of the conflict between the characters
3. Bad/ poor dialogue and writing including plot holes, writer contrivance, over complicated story arcs and cheesy lines
4. Doing next to nothing with some of the high mark cast, who were there to fill in seats and appeal to new audience demographics
5. Massive re-hashing of the original trilogy to fit the prequel story-line,
6. medichlorians which destroy everything that the force was said to be in Empire Strikes back by Yoda and essentially boils down the force to dragon ball z power levels
I also find the idea that the prequels are more cartoony to appeal to younger people, funny when Attack of the clones has assignations, torture, implied rape and mass murder
and Revenge of the sith has literal genocide and murder of children in it
never mind phantom menace’s massive case of political discussion, cause everyone nows that’s going to get the kids going, hearing about the senate’s no confidence vote and how it pertains to buearocratic removal of the chancellor
yep kids will love that.
"2. There's also a love story involved (Luke & Leia had to come from somewhere) and people didn't want to see that.”
So everyone loves the leia-Han love story from the original trilogy, in fact it’s one of the biggest love arcs in the franchise, but suddenly no one wants a love story in the prequels?
Really?
"that everyone thought it was going to change their life. When it didn't, they were disappointed. I think the high expectations is what made for most of the disappointment.”
I can agree that there was massive hype for it and as such the disappointment was greater
but the reason for that hype was because the original trilogy had been almost perfect, back when lucas did not have sole control over everything and was regulated and held to focus by other clans, directors, producers and writers
Again the prequels are hated because of how much they let down everything the original series set down.
No one was excited like they were when the rebels first take on the death stare in a new hope, there was no “oh man the rebels are getting owned” on both moment where you have the imperial walkers shooting down fleeing rebels and blowing up the shield generator in attack of the clones
I will give the final battle between obi wan, Anakin, Emperor and Yoda some tops for being interesting and different, but again went on way too long and lost the tension it was holding.
Christopher lee as Dooku was great but he was poorly used, there was no Luke vs Vader from empire moment between our heroes and him at all
we had to look to the clone wars tv series to give us these moments.
It was very different from the OT. Sadly, too many people are jarred by changes. I believe that contributed a lot to the hate the PT received.
The prequels are not "that bad" compared to the unconnected mess that are the Disney Sequels. But they are still so much worse than the original trilogy. Ewan McGregor can salvage even the worst dialogue, Natalie tried her best, but got even less to work with and Hayden never had a chance. When the Prequels came out, they were hated throughout (maybe excluding kids). Only with time they got somewhat "accepted", mostly through memes and then people convinced themselves that they were fond childhood memories. The prequels were somewhat redeemed by the clone wars show, which did, what everyone wanted to see, but the movies failed to deliver: show how Anakin turned to the dark side.
Yes, not "that bad". Not "p*ssing on the grave" bad as the sequels. But also nowhere near the timeless quality of the originals. Watchable, as one can watch The Room or Birdemic or Trolls 2. To make fun of the dialogue; of the stupid midichlorians; to hate on Jar Jar; to make memes. Fun to watch ironically at least.
Fun Story about the metal bikini. Carrie Fisher had to have it taped down to make sure nothing flashed during filming. She had arranged a raffle for charity among the cast and crew with the winner of the raffle getting the honor of removing the tape at the end of the day. In the interview where Carrie talked about it, she said it was apparently going really well until George Lucas found out about it and shut the whole thing down.
That's the most "selling my bathwater" thing that isn't selling bathwater I've ever heard.

Keep this up even if you may have seen along time ago, know things etc and forgotten things b/c you are the GOAT of reactioners!
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
when it comes to changes the earlier drafts had the 2nd deathstar situated over Kashyyyk and it was going to be a whole freeing the wookie slaves while killing the emperor story but the budget couldn't afford that many chewie sized costumes they downsized and did this
12. Vader sacrificing himself is why many people don't like episode 9.
First of all, this is episode 6, not 9. Secondly, I've observed that more people are more upset about Yoda dying than Vader. @@davidjackson3592
@@canadianbakin1304 That would undoubtedly have been both better and more credible. I still think this is the 3rd best Star Wars Movie after 5 and 4 but the Ewoks drag it down.

The only kiss between Luke and Leia was on Hoth to piss off Han and make him jealous.
Three points.
First, this "update" has three of the worst CGI additions in the series: the singing thing in Jabba's palace, the beak in the sarlaac, and worst of all, Vader's "Nooo". That was so much more impactful when he just did it in silence.
Second, Lando's copilot was speaking a real language. It was a dialect of Kenyan spoken by a native speaker. They say that when the movie was released in Kenya, the theaters were packed with people standing in the aisles just to hear those lines.
Lastly, I don't know what the speeds were in the movie, but this is how they worked in the West End Games rpg. That game had maps of different sector with the various star systems and main routes. The main routes were basically weel travelled up updated paths between the star systems and ship captains could upload the latest updates at the port before leaving, for a fee, to make plotting their course easier.
The maps had times printed on them. This could be hours to days or weeks. This was the travel time along the route at a x1 hyperdrive. Most hyperdrives were from x2 to x4, meaning you multiplied the base number by that to see how long it would take to get to your destination. The Millennium Falcon had a x0.5, very fast, very illegal and unreliable. Backup emergency hyperdrives were x8 to x10. Times could be improved with the navigation skill.
I didn't mind Vader's final "No... No!", to me it remains as impactful, when we hear him change his mind in that moment. I'd replace that with changing Anakin's Force ghost into the young form, THAT really sucks the impact of that moment away from me and it keeps confusing the heck outta new viewers, completely breaking that moment for them too. Otherwise yeah, those CGI bits in the Jabba act of the movie were so unnecessary and they look unnatural.
Can't agree more. I hate the "Nooo". It copies Episode 3 and makes the scene cheesy.
Also the Ewok celebration song at the ending of the original version was way better.
But... but... we wouldn't know what Vader was thinking during that moment otherwise... we all needed him to say "no....... noooooooooooooo" for it to make sense lol
It's so ridiculous. I'm honestly surprised they didn't have a thought bubble or memory montage in there too just IN CASE people didn't quite get that he was conflicted.
@@lassesipila6418 Well, new viewers are supposed to start with Episode 1. Then Hayden Christensen popping up as a Force Ghost makes sense. Sure, they will know the relationship between Luke, Vader and Leia as they start Episode 4 but those reveals are best suited for TH-cam Channels anyway. Chronological order is always gonna be easier to grasp. In any franchise.
I think people take Leia's "I've always known" too literally. I believe she means that because she's always felt a connection to Luke
“Wait, you mean even after we kissed on hoth?”
Like MacFarlene did here right?
Just gotta say, they changed some of the music in this movie when they did the digital remasters. Personally, the old music was MUCH better. The music in Jabba’s palace, and at the end celebrating their victory. If you’re ever able to watch the original footage, definitely do so, it’s sooooo much better
👍
“Jabba Weinstein.”
🤣🤣🤣
That might be the best reaction quote of all time!
Vader was played by three people in this movie (not including the stunt men and Hayden Christensen at the end). James Earl Jones was the voice, Sabastian Shaw was unmasked Vader, and 6ft 6in tall David Prowse was in the suit.
Thanks for clarifying. I always thought that unmasked Vader was played by someone other than David Prowse and I always meant to look it up.
John Williams did the rest
There will always be people that want to bring you down to their level. I've been here from the start of this channel. You have watched movies I personally hate. My response was " I really hate this movie, but Jay will make it fun, regardless." I think you are giving people too much attention just by acknowledging them.
I haven't commented in a while, but I'm still here: you know the love is genuine.
Much love to you and your babies. ;)
These Star Wars reactions were how I found your channel. Your comparison to Titanic was a brilliant response to the hate comments, "everyone knew the ship was gonna sink," and you are very funny, charming, and seem like you just enjoy watching new movies. I have officially subbed, and I can't wait to continue watching your reactions. I hope you have a great day sir.
Imperial Shuttle is what Vader arrived on. And yes it has a couple forward blasters for emergencies.
Boba Fett didn't die in the Sarlac, he escapes. His Mandalorian Armor protected him.
If you pay attention you will recognize the voice of the Scout Trooper that got the drop on Leia, it's Harrison Ford playing that bit part.
Oh you haven't seen anything yet when it comes to the action of R2D2, that little Astromech has seen ALL the action and has even fought characters.
Technically it is a Lambda-class T-4a
50:12 They went back and added him after the prequels. It used to show the actor Sebastian Shaw.
This dude Jay said Fraggle Rock 😂
All the puppetry that you seen in the old movies, are done by the Jim Henson production. The same people that did the Muppets and the various characters of early Sesame Street
As a matter of fact, Frank Oz, who voiced Yoda, also voiced other characters, like Ms. Piggy, Animal, Fozzy Bear and others
Hope that was some enlightenment for you Murder Whistle 😁
Big chunk of Vader's ability to emote goes down to John Williams.
Only you could give me “The back of his perm was dry”😂
Glad you enjoyed it. So did I. 👍🏾
And you're so right about Vader's performance. It is similar to C3PO throughout the series as well. No facial expressions, but the body language and the information we receive translates it all perfectly. Oh! Also, before they added in the young Anakin Skywalker at the end, it was the actor that played him during his death scene, but with hair and looking healthy.
Don't let the hateful losers get you down, I've certainly enjoyed you watching the series! Keep doing you big dawg!
I love how much you enjoy C3PO, as well as all of the humor in these movies. It's overlooked by a lot of the more jaded adults over the years. You really enjoyed and reacted to all the different moments just like we all did as children and as adults that have kept the inner child alive. Now you see why we've all been so obsessed with this stuff for all these years! 😂 Welcome to the club! May the force be with you.
She didn't always know. Leia has a different connection to the Force. She has deep empathic feelings and can sense things. She knew but she didn't know know...best way I could explain it.
There are a couple of videos on TH-cam that show what changes were done by Lucas to the Original trilogy, from the original theatrical release through all of the special editions and changes made.
Let me know if you need the channel for these videos. They did it for all 3.
Billy D was misspronouncing Han since his debut appearance in Empire. They didn't bother to fix it in post when everyone was looping their lines because it was unique to their friendship. I have a friend I missprounced his name for decades. But, years ago when I made a active effort to correct it, he said it sounded weird now and go back to the wrong way. Lol. Anyway, George Lucas said to have Lando say Han's name right, and Billy D and Ford both agreed to continue missprouncing it. Lol. Ford loved f***ing with poor George. It adds to the charm of the series honestly.
Han is also generally fond of replacing short a sounds with a soft a, like saying "Millennium Faal-kin" instead of "Fal-kin", so he may just be jacking up his own name! I have a coworker named René, written as René (complete with accent) who says his own as Renny. But then he insists his dad's name is Di-yu-wane. We're like "Dwayne?" Nope, Di-yu--wane. Spelt Dwayne. Han may be my coworker's secret brother.
Seeing the growing likes makes me so happy. I’ve known this amazing channel was gonna explode like a Death Star. So well deserved! Happy for your current and future success!
I looove your reactions, you add happiness to my dull days, thank you x
Yo! “Danny Glover knees” is some HYSTERICAL SHIT right there!
💯💯💯 👏👏👏 People get their undies all twisted if you dont have the same exact experience as them. It's sad. Misery loves company..
Don't let them bring you down 💖
The back of his perm was dry?! That's hilarious...."He was stressed out!"
I don't care if you've seen something 5x before. Your commentary is always heartfelt and hilarious.
The actor Warwick Davis got his big movie break by being in Star Wars. He was about 11 or 12 years old and was a huge fan of the first 2 Star Wars. Then for Return of the Jedi George Lucas saying he needed people with Dwarfism to be cast for the Ewoks. Warwick Davis signed him up and he got to be a role in the film. he was the Ewok Wicket that found Leia after she crashed. If I remember correctly the original actor that was supposed to be Wicket got sick and Warwick Davis stepped in the role.
I love you watching these! Who cares if you know a little about it? Screw the haters and kep making your great stuff love your reactions!
You know how we go like 65 miles an hour and stuff like that? Light speed is 136 miles per second. And can be enhanced if the spaceship is able to handle. The Falcon of course, definitely is
Good night everyone let get going the best Starwars 👍😎👌 from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹😊😎
Man I love the fraggle rock comment, loved that show as a kid.
Forget thise people. Their just toxic. It's people wanting to say something just to start conflict. Your the best reactor out there. You keeping doing you brother. Watch what you want to watch. The real ones are here.
23:38 James Earl Jones said the same thing in Coming to America
This is one of my favorite star wars movies. Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Love your stuff, JL. Keep doing what you do and making us laugh. On a separate note, this is my favorite of the Star Wars movies because you finally get to see (in the original series) what a Jedi in his prime can really do. When I watched this as a kid with my dad (on TV in the 90s) every time the troopers hit a tree, he would respond with "and we call that the Sonny Bono Special".
"Sonny Bono Special"!! 🤣🤣🤣
Strong of you to respond like you did. You're one of the most real reactors on YT, don't let them get to you, don't pay them no mind. :)
Actual Star Wars fan here! Who cares what people say, just sit back and enjoy. Although I personally dont care for movies 7-9, I do throughly enjoy almost anything thats Star Wars (pre-disney but some of it is ok) and would welcome anyone who is starting their journey in to Star Wars.
The keeper cried over the loss of his pet rancor. He raised it from a baby, took care of it, loved it, then Luke killed it. So he cried.
In the original, Han didn't say, "I can see a lot better now." Instead he said the much better line, "It's all right, trust me."
"Fly casual."
Threepio in previous movie: "I'm afraid I'm not very good at telling stories."
Harry's 6'1" & Carrie was 5'1". So Harry-Carrie had a foot difference in height.
Just as Lando keeps called Han "Hann," many people in the movies call Leia "Leah."
The Ewoks sounding their horn in celebration is the exact same sound effect as the Hebrew shofars blowing to sound the start of the Exodus in the 1956 version of Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, which plays on ABC on or around Easter weekend every year!
All those preprequel years, the actor who played dying Vader stood next to Yoda and Obi-Wan, but looking healthy, uninjured, and joyful.
someone may have already commented but in the original release of Star Wars at the end it shows obi, Yoda and the actor who played Vader, but when they made the prequels they added Hayden who played Anakin/vader to tie all the movies together
Jabba Weinstein made me laugh so hard!
I love your channel and aways look forward to your reactions. Your commentary makes me laugh consistently and your laughter is contagious. Keep making these videos! ❤
I love that the Emperor foresaw so much, but he missed the Ewoks.
"Is there something humorous, master?"
"No, my friend . . . It's . . . Well, I have been revisited by those _visions_ I told you about"
"The bears with sticks?"
(hysterical cackling) _"bears with wooden sticks!"_ (wheezes) _"Killing a legion of my best men-- AGHAHAHA HAHAHEHEHE!"_
"Most humorous, indeed."
"Ahh. . .! Hehe! . . Simply ludicrous. . . Anyways, _about your mission . . ."_
Kinda like the Hobbits
Since you asked, the speed of light is roughly 186000 miles per second. They are likely traveling much faster than that by several multiples. Keep in mind, light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to reach us, and these guys are jumping between several planetary systems with their own stars in a relatively short amount of time. Traveling at just the speed of light, would takes us a few thousand years to reach the nearest star to us.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to us after the sun. Something like four-and-a-half light years away. So at light speed, four years and a few months, so a little shy of a few thousand years.
I always saw it as wormhole travel (Hyperspace), and required lightspeed to enter it.
33:04 Annnnnd the penny drops. Was waiting for that moment. Too funny. BAHAHAHA!!!
Love watching reactions with you guys , lights up my day
I KNEW, KNEW, absolutely KNEW J would say "I'd have hit a tree" during speeder scene, because I've said it to myself 1000 times
My favorite Star Wars among all of them, let's go Ewoks!!
The actor that occupied Darth Vader's suit most of the time (not the old man you see when Luke takes the mask off) was David Prowse, a well-known British actor (well-known in Britain at least) who was 6 feet 6 inches tall.
When the Return of the Jedi first came out when they showed the spirits of the former Jedi's they showed the old actor who pirtrayed Vader in his death scene. When they redid it they put the actor who played the younger Anakin Skywalker. What's messed up about it is why did Vader revert to his younger self but Obi-wan stayed old.
The theory is that he reverted to when he was last on the light side... I don't buy it myself and hate the "Special Editions", but I believe that is the explanation behind the bad choice.
Thank you. I love these movies, your enthusiasm is appreciated.
The speed of light is 187,000,000 miles per second and the universe is absolutely GIGANTIC its huge
The combination of James Earl Jones' voice and David Prowse in the suit was truly great. All the more disappointing they decided to replace Prowse during the unmasking scene.
Thanks for the excellent reaction, J!
They should’ve had James Earl Jones under the mask! 😂
@@rickardroach9075 Lucas made the correct casting choice!
Hey it's Pauly from Detroit. Thanks for the shout out.
Ok well what they did back then was have the actor who played Darth Vader in with Obi-Wan and Yoda.
There was actually some backlash when this version came out and he was erased.
As you yourself said No disrespect for Vader.
Star Wars 3 answers your questions about Vader.
Made my night laughing and enjoying a movie I have seen lots of time.
Much respect, my friend!
Peace!
idk if anybody mentioned this but Jabba's race/species are extremely powerful creatures. Like they are power houses, they just lazy af. Kinda like how pandas are literal bears that can tear you limb from limb, but they just choose not to bc they like being lazy.
Additional fun fact believe in an interview when discussing the famous leia outfit, bc controversy etc, she ended her comment with The father who flipped out about it, 'What am I going to tell my kid about why she’s in that outfit?' Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage."
Haters gonna hate. But as far as I am concerned, I am thoroughly enjoying watching these movies with you. I’ve seen them so many times already, but a great story is about the journey, not just knowing the facts of the story. And you are making this journey fun.
Return of the Jedi is the first Star Wars movie I ever saw, as a little kid, at a friend’s birthday party. His parents took everyone to the movies (to see this movie) and when back to their house for cake. I was a small kid and had zero idea what I had just seen, but it was fun and exciting and I wanted to be a Jedi after that. This is my favorite of all the Star Wars movies. (but I hate the retro-edits and CGI add ins of the newer releases).
Thank you for sharing your Star Wars journey with us. I look forward to the rest of the movies with you. And pet those puppies for me!!
The original, before the Special Edition, had someone else appear as Vader at the end. The same actor who played Vader unmasked. This is one thing that annoyed people about the Special Edition.
That stupid musical number will never not make me feel ragey 😠
Edit: Jabba Weinstein lol
My skeleton wants to cringe out of my body hearing and seeing that scene...
And no disrespecting Jabba like that.
@@szeddezs 😆
I had a 2 word response to your "she's bad" comment when she was still wearing her bounty hunter gear and that, "just wait". 😄
Yeah, no gatekeeping needed. Forget that.
Watching these first 3 with you has been as much fun as when I saw them as a kid in the theatre way back then. Thanks for being that real.
also the reason they had to use james earl jones for the voice was because the man in the suit had a thick scottish accent like shrek so look at his body movements and imagine that voice instead and the actor that was the emperor was a spry 37 during that time so big props for the makeup department of that time
I remember watching this and thinking they did Boba Fett so dirty cause of how he died. But, a fun fact is that in the Star Wars comic books it shows how he actually survived and escaped from inside the sarlacc pit.
i have yet to find someone to agree with me, but i REALLY liked Fett's "death" into the Sarlacc pit. George Lucas (and I agree) wanted to portray that sometimes sh!t **unpredictably** happens. To me, it gave the OT a "Game of Thrones" kinda reality where you never really know who is going to die and sometimes it wont even be epic....just like real life. I mean, really, i'd love to have cool death, myself, but I may just have a heart attack in traffic....or on the toilet. Very anti-climactic. Elvis died on the toilet.
In fact, Lucas intended for Lando to die (fail to escape the exploding Death Star), but test audiences shot down the idea. George has killed Obi-wan, Yoda, and Biggs and had Lando go traitor. To me, it's a more unpredictable story-telling to think that at any moment, things or PEOPLE can go bad. Or good.
@@slchance8839 Yeah I can def. see that, especially coming from Han, it would've been even more funny if C3PO would've been the one to "accidentally" kill him. I think the main reason why I dislike it because of having more "lore" knowledge to the Mandalorian's, especially when it comes to Boba Fett. I didn't have a complain for Jango though since he died to Mace Windu. So it think it has to do with knowing MORE about Boba Fett than the first trilogy let on.
@@Density13 "So it think it has to do with knowing MORE about Boba Fett than the first trilogy let on."
Which why it's so important to view movies - and specifically a movie universe - not as mythologized lore but as _movies_ that were produced in a certain order.
While Vader was dying, you can hear the sound of blaster shots in the background. That means stormtroopers were fighting over the escape pods. Also during the celebration, on one of the planets (Courrisant) you can see the citizens hoisting dead stormtroopers in the air. That is savage lol.
That IS savage.
Be here for ANOTHER! COOL REACTIONS!
The Rancor beast In the dungeon In the beginning is just like a dog It needs a trainer but A bad owner and trainer can make a bad dog... they are usually very passive and faithful.. Tribal creatures
Love the reaction! I will now on think of C-3PO as Golden Seldon with Danny Glover knees. 😆
One small rant:
I'm not a hardcore fan but my nostalgia is strong with these movies. I grew up watching the originals & even enjoyed the special editions but since Disney got their hands on them they've been tweakin' things & the final straw for me was when they added the "Nooo!" to the Vader saving Luke scene. It is so cringy. It's so much more powerful when you see the struggle & you don't know which side Vader's going to land on.
Yes I hate that they added that, it looks and sounds corny to me.
Lucas himself added the "Noooo!!!", unfortunately. Even the last round of more-tweaked Special Editions that premiered under Disney were actually done by Lucas, he just hadn't gotten around to releasing them before the sale. I shudder to think of what else he may have thrown in there if he hadn't let the franchise go.
@@pennygadget7328 Ah! Ok, I can understand it a little bit better then & that it wasn't just Disney saying "Let's just add this." I'm not the type for criticizing someone for changing their own work but at the same time Lucas should've had that *one* person around him say, "Whoa! You don't need to change every little thing. Just stop overthinking & let things lie." For example: How many times does Obi-Wan Kenobi's yell at the sand people need to change? Honestly I've almost forgotten what the original sounds like lol.
@@naiaddore1797 JL even mentions how you can read Vader's face in that scene without seeing his face, the stupid "noooo" was so unnecessary.
Imo it's Lucas giving the finger to people clowning on Vader's "noooo" in Episode 3, á la "Oh you hated that? Well have some more assholes!"
Nobody can convince me he doesn't do a lot of stuff at least somewhat out of spite.
11 year old me was sitting in the front row center of the movie theater and getting dizzy and light headed as hell and having the time of my life during the speeder bike scene in the forest.
My favorite character in all of Star Wars is Wedge. He survived all 3 movies and both attacks on the Death Star.
XWing novels fan? I prefer the Rogue Squadron books over Wraith Squadron. Wedge and Tycho are great, but that series taught me to hate Bothans.
Always liked him. They tried to bring the same actor into the Disney Sequels, but the actor was like "Are you gonna give me a real part or am I just a cameo?" And when he realized it was just gonna be a cameo he was like "Nah, I'll stay home."
He made the right call IMO.
Hello from Saskatchewan, Canada. Love your channel...love your reactions. I would deeply enjoy and love to see your reactions to all the Star Trek movies...old first..then new. If you enjoy Star Wars....Star Trek was the original venture into space and the precursor to all space movies since. Keep us the amazing work! You rock brother!
Sorry about all the hate keepers, I’ve loved your Star Wars reactions man, keep it up 😊 👍🏼
What a fun reaction! I really enjoyed the fits of laughter throughout.
10:37 I always loved that Luke Force chocked those pigmen. This was back when there were no Sith/Jedi, just Dark/Light Jedi in the franchise, before retconning happened over the years. Before there was really established lines between good/bad force powers as well. When it was how you used those powers not what powers you used.
Me too.
Sith have maxed stats in Destruction and Illusion.
Jedi invest in *_all_* skill trees.
That's the way the OT always felt to me; the Jedi are the harder build, but the balanced build that will get you farther.
