"I... am your father" Biggest plot twist in cinema history. It was actually kept secret from almost everyone on set, even Mark Hamill, until just before they filmed the scene.
I heard he made that up in the middle of filming the 5th movie lol.
and even then, mark was the only person on set who knew until james Earl jones recorded his lines later on. all but 2 of the cast at the premiere were SHOOK
@@arlibrarianI'm pretty sure he did know and he *did* leak it lol. I remember seeing an newspaper article/ interview with him from back then with something like "the secret is out" as a title.
@@arlibrarianYeah, he complained that his posture and physical would have been entirely different because of it.
😊😊😊😊😊@@xaoz2362
"i have a boyfriend but i love you like a brother"
That aged well.😂
Um yeah about that😓. Watch Return of the Jedi
Honestly insidious as hell lmao
Pretty sure they watched the movies before
“So who you ship’n?” You two are diabolical. I can’t wait for Return of the Jedi! 🤣
Setting that man up for failure
Man sensed a evil intent. 😅 He dodged that better than I expected.
"Their names even go together" was criminal bro
They are evil😅

😈 hehehehe
"Is it warm in there?"
It's kinda lukewarm.
You goofy with it I respect it
badum tsss
Dude I almost gaged on that joke!
Damnit take my angry upvote.
The reason why "I am your father" is not only a meme, but also a powerful scene, is because the build-up and context make it the worst revelation for the character. It's quite genuinely the one thing Luke doesn't want to hear.
Exactly. It’s like finding out your Dad was a Certain Man who made a certain Mustache unpopular.
Especially since Luke promised to become "like his father".
So kinda like invincible and omniman then?
@@PopeDuwang
mom: "my son... this is a picture of your real father"
son: "charlie chaplin is my dad?!"
mom: "no 🙄"
As soon as I clicked on your comment from eight hours ago for people had liked it. Also, I see it more as pop-culture than him and he didn’t say that he already knew prior so I’m going to assume that he was surprised by it somehow.
Something i thought was interesting, Mark Hamill was in a car accident in 1977, causing some damage to a cheekbone and his nose. This is the reason he looks so much more aged between the two films. Some folks speculate that the attack by the Wampa was the in universe reason to explain this change. Although it's debated whether or not thats the case.
I've always assumed that was the in universe reason. Mainly because I've never heard any other reason for it.
the scars you see on his face after he gets out of the bacta tank are his actual injuries from the accident and im pretty sure i read somewhere that the added the wompa sequance to explain his scars
This is a myth.
@erronis629 I don't doubt it, I remember reading that Hamill didn't necessarily recall that his accident was the reason for thr Wampa scene. It would make sense though.
@@spencersholden The accident isn't, but yeah, the "wampa attack early to hide his scars" nonsense is. That was put in the script to set up an abandoned subplot of the wampas attacking the Rebel base during the AT-AT attack, and then the wampas attacking the snowtroopers as they entered the base -- those sequences were filmed but abandoned because the wampas looked like shit.
So fun fact. The reveal of Vader being Luke's father was kept a secret from nearly everyone on set, including David Prowse, who is the guy in the Vader suit, and Mark Hamill. Hamill was told privately moments before the scene took place.
Yeah, the scene itself was secret, too. Only Mark, David, George, and VERY few crew members were even there to film.
The script both Mark and David were given had the line "Obi-Wan killed your father!" as the big twist.
Interesting. The story I heard years ago was that when it came to that scene, George Lucas had the "You killed my father!" line scripted, and just told James Earl Jones to say "the worst thing you can think of in response."
A handful of people knowing ahead of time adds a bit more flavor to it, though. Like the chest burster scene from Alien, where the people watching it happen didn't know beforehand so their fear was real. Good stuff.
@@djmagichat1721 Mark said that the original line in the script was that Obi-Wan killed Anakin. Right before they filmed it, Irvin Kirshner, the director, pulled Mark aside and said they were going to replace the line with this any only George, you and I will know it and told him. Obviously the replacing of the line was done with James Earl Jones after filming was done when he recorded his lines
@jackcrofts-mullin461 Yeah, that's why it's so interesting to me. Much as I liked the story I originally heard, this makes more sense to me. For example, if the line was just improvised on set, Mark's reaction would have had much more genuine surprise as I see it. Also just fun to know the trivia that Mark Hamill himself spilled the beans on that one :P
Trolling with the Luke/Leia ship is infinitely funny
Fun fact: The Empire Strikes Back was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2010, one of a small handful of sequel inductees.
"Preservation" ... too bad they arent preserving the actual original version of these films.
@@justsomebody-1665it’s possible unless Disney relented that they’re still waiting to start preserving the movie. There was an issue with the first Star Wars movie. George Lucas gave them the special edition to preserve and they refused to accept it, insisting that they only take unaltered films to preserve. Last I’d heard neither side would budge and still hadn’t relented when Disney bought the franchise. They might be waiting for George to pass…I don’t know. 🤷♂️
@@justsomebody-1665 This version specifically is better than the original though, so does it really matter?
And return if the Jedi got included in 2021
The day rise of skywalker gets in will be a meme worthy day indeed.
Fun Fact for those who somehow never realized: James Earl Jones voiced Darth Vader whole David Prowse was the body of Vader. ❤️ 💜
Prowse actually said the lines during filming. I'm sorry for Prowse but it sounds so wrong. RIP David Prowse. Thank you for the physical performance of Darth Vader.
Really? I thought the voice actor of Darth Vader died. I guess he still alive. That’s cool. I hope he doesn’t die soon though. Hope this comment doesn’t become didn’t age well. And not by the people saying
@@GabePerez7050Real I mean, James Earl Jones has actually given Disney full rights to use his voice for Darth Vader for all time, they are making a James Earl Jones vocaloid so he never has to stop. Normally I'd think this was fairly dystopian, but I think it's fine since he gave his consent freely.
@@theonewhowatches869 This is, in fact, the only case in which using AI to mimic someone's voice is acceptable: with their full consent to do so.
I believe in Japan they do this with seiyuus(?) - if they're sick or unable to record, they can give their one-time consent to utilize an AI of their voice instead. (Source needed, ofc. I *think* it was Japan I heard of doing this. Might've been China or Korea.)
Bob Anderson, who also trained Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin for The Princess Bride, and worked as fight choreographer for a ton of other films, was in the suit for fighting scenes in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. With the costume limiting field of vision and range of movement, and his face concealed anyways, the insurance company wanted a professional stuntperson doing the fights.
Fun fact: The scene where Leia says “I love you”, Han was originally supposed to say “I love you too”. But Harrison Ford felt that the line didn’t fit Han's character, so they changed it to “I know”.
Shame they didn't do a similar edit with Padme and Anakin
@@Imperials3nateLucas is a very talented scriptwriter. He's just not that great with love scenes. However, Leigh Brackett wrote the first couple drafts for ESB. She was a bad azz writer straight out of The Golden Age of Science Fiction and those people are Unmatched to this day.
When Brackett died soon after completing the drafts, the job went to Lawrence Kasdan (I'm fairly sure. He's another great writers.
Others gave input, like Harrison Ford and possibly Carrie Fisher, who became a Hollywood script doctor.
It's known he didn't have the usual suspects around during The Prequels that je had during The Originals, which would account for a few things.
I think a lot of his friends, like Spielberg and Coppola supposedly offered a lot of input on The Prequels, but he didn't use many. haha
Yoda is basically post war Iroh just chillin and being a prankster
Yoda wishes he had as much swag as Uncle
Yoda is what Iroh would be if he stayed for the same time in a non-spirit swamp.
Honestly, props to you for not faking a reaction to the “I am your father” scene. I’ve seen a lot of OG trilogy reactions pop up lately, and it’s just hard to believe that an adult wouldn’t know about one of the most referenced moments in all of pop culture, even if they hadn’t seen Star Wars. Not saying it’s impossible, but I appreciate the honesty.
I think the only time I've seen genuine surprise is like little kids watching it for the first time.
nah. my dad at the age of 60 watched all the Star Wars movies for the first time last year and didn't know it. and i asked him recently who Luke's dad was and he didn't remember that it was either Vader or Anakin. he just doesn't give a fuck about movies or pop culture or 'nerdy' stuff so he doesn't care to retain the info. so i could have him 'react' to the reveal again and his surprise would be genuine. for some reason he remembered the thing in TFA that happens to Han tho, probably coz he liked the Indiana Jones movies so he recognises and cares about Harrison Ford.
The way they try to bate Ruff into shipping the siblings😬 I can't 😨😅
Thanks for spoiling the revelation of THE NEXT MOVIE.
@@billbill6094 don't worry - they recorded this months ago :)
@@billbill6094 Luckily they film these 2 months in advance so hopefully they've already watched it before comments like this can spoil it. But yeah
@@billbill6094 if you watched the first one you would know they already would be onto the prequels by now on patreon
"What happened to you my man?!" The high ground happened xD
I knew someone was going to comment this exact answer.😂😂
Fun fact: only George Lucas, and director Irvin Kersher knew of the Darth Vader father twist beforehand. Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker for those who somehow don't already know) only found out the morning they shot the scene. James Earl Jones (Voice of Vader) thought that Vader was lying to Luke. 💜
Yeah and David Prowse was given a fake script where it said "Obi-Wan killed your father"
@@jakubgodyn7413 I believe he didn’t like the reveal because he would’ve adopted a different posture and movement for the scene with that context.
@@chazo1367 I didn't know that but it's possible. He was kinda screwed over by Lucas since he was originally promised to be the face under the mask in RoTJ.
@@jakubgodyn7413 Yeah I feel bad that was taken from him, should've been him since he was the man behind the movements and everything, just feels like he deserved to be seen.
@@chazo1367 I agree but at the same time I liked Sebastian Shaw in the role
9:20 the Mythbusters actually tested this, if it took Han 3 hours to build the shelter, he would be able to survive just long enough to get him in the shelter.
You *ABSOLUTELY* need to watch the making-of documentary, Blue Harvest. One thing about these original movies: there is NO CGI. They didn’t use CGI at all, it’s all practical effects, miniatures, paintings, in-camera effects, and other old filmmaking techniques. They did *use* computers, but not for special effects: they invented a system that could move the cameras multiple times in the exact same path, which they used to combine elements and make the scenes in space seem so realistic. Any CGI you do see was added decades later in re-releases
The Star Wars movies revolutionised cinema and filming techniques as we know it, pretty much everything we know can be traced back to these movies, an entire company was created behind these techniques.
“These movies didn’t use CGI!” Oh I remember how I could say that prior to 1994…
You mean Empire of Dreams right? Blue Harvest is the family guy Star Wars thing lol
Are you sure there's no CGI? I mean I don't expect any realistic looking stuff but I expect something atleast, like old Stop Motion.
@@artistanthony1007 nah cgi wasn’t really a thing back with these films, it was all practical and camera tricks for the OT, stuff was CGI’d in with later changes because Lucas changed his mind a lot and wanted more stuff, especially to connect to the prequels
Love the way Darth Vader looks so much sleeker and more menacing in this one because they went from lighting his helmet directly while having him lighter sets, to darkening all the sets he's in but lighting the environment around him so it reflects off the helmet better. It's a subtle change but it represented an evolution of film lighting techniques and makes this movie hold up so well.
Any CGI in this movie was added in the 90s and then updated when the blu-rays came out. There was very, very limited, if any, CGI in 1980 release.
There was only CGI in the original versions of IV and VI, and both times it was the the Death Star schematic. Very limited.
@@jordancooney6817 The 1970s "CGI" was just a wireframe. Still, it had advanced considerably in just 6 years. The CGI in 1983, though simple by today's standards, was a HUGE jump.
@@Nonamearisto Absolutely. I was thinking of explaining this in my reply, but I decided to keep it short.
So not even old Stop Motion?
@@artistanthony1007 No, there was stop motion. Just no CGI (Computer Generated Image). There was blue screen stuff as well, but it wasn't done with a computer, but with rotoscoping.
12:05 LMAO Luke putting his hands behind his head afterwards is such a power move😂😂 how have I never noticed that
Droids in star wars are ignored to the point that in Lego Games, the enemies won't attack droids, even if you play as them
They are just machines, afterall. I mean they are programmed to act like people, with a personality, but they are not actually people.
@@justsomebody-1665 Actually the droids in Star Wars are capable of developing their own personalities.
Restraining bolts are used to limit their personalities aswell as many other things. Its actually a enough of a problem that droids have to get routine memory wipes.
Note this is mostly stuff from SW: KOTOR 1 & 2 that I'm remembering and I'm not sure if its 100% correct or canon anymore.
@@SirBroadcast R2 was explicitly, at least in the old canon, fully sapient partially because he was never memory-wiped from his commission on Naboo onwards.
And fun fact: there have been assassin droids that used the tendency to view droids as talking furniture to their advantage, the HK series being one of the best examples.
@@passingrando6457 How people can ignore the obvious sarcastic insanity in every HK unit is baffling.
Also sapient was the word I was looking for when I wrote that, I just couldn't remember it. So thank you.
Chewie's weapon is a tool unique to Wookie culture called a Bowcaster. The balls on the ends of the "bow" part are like electrodes that help focus the laser it fires. Bowcasters are known to be exceptionally powerful weapons.
Also Boom funny you mentioned wanting to be on a non Vader ship because people in the Empire actually were REALLY vying to be on his ship because 1) It was a great honor and 2) Everyone knew Vader's ship was a fast track for promotions for... strangulation reasons lol
32:50 John Williams doesn't miss. Indy, ET, Back to the Future, Hook, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Home Alone, etc. He's a master of his craft. (All movies you should watch on the channel)
Let’s all respect James Earl Jones. He deserves so much respect and love and appreciation being the VOICE of Darth Vader. 💯
12:53 "You can't put 2 L's together"
"But maybe 2 L's make a W"
💀😭
The "I know" part was ad libbed sorta. They came up with it while filming the scene because the original script didn't feel right.
13:00 "you cant put 2 L's together."
"But 2 L's makes a W."
And that w spells wrong😂
win-cest
Yeah, but three rights make a left! And now it's time for the show! 🎶Laaaaaaaaa
"They upped the CGI" that's not CGI, it's all very clever camera tricks! Check out Corrider Crew's break down of the VFX of these movies it'll blow your mind!
When it first came out, true. Not true anymore tho, it’s been updated with CGI several times
@@Will-D-59 There are scenes were CG was added... but they were talking about it during the battle of Hoth which was all practical
@@Grimbear13not CGI
@@Will-D-59 Empire Strikes Back is relatively untouched. A few extra CG shots were added in Cloud City, but all of the Hoth battle and all the ship effects when they're in space are the original effects.
Fun Fact: Star Wars was adapted into a Radio Drama originally broadcast on National Public Radio on March 2, 1981 based on the original film trilogy from 1977.
If you’re interested in checking them out, they’re available here on TH-cam, but the three radio trilogy are 9 hours long in total
15:04 that's the Executor, Vader's personal flagship. That fucker is 19 kilometers long. They had to build them in space because they're too big to enter a planet's atmosphere.
You get to see one in dock in the PS1 game Rebel Assault II.
The reason why Luke looked really scarred up is because he was in a car wreck
Nope. All he had was a broken nose from his accident which was headed up long before filming of Empire began. There was no facial damage or reconstructive surgery. th-cam.com/users/shorts9evZlFC_5mU
@@rattan3793 his nose was shattered and scraped clean, they had take skin from his ear so that his nose wasn't just bare muscle and cartilage, they literally had to reconstruct his entire nose.
Something that will never fail to impress me every time I watch these movies: The goddamn sound design. Star Wars has a very distinct and iconic 'sound'. As soon as the probe droid started making noises, I got chills.
As far as Star Wars games - I've been going through X-Wing and TIE Fighter again, they're flight sims from the 90s but there are mods to make them look fantastic. Jedi Knight, Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Academy are great FPS/Action games starring Kyle Katarn, the biggest giga chad in the galaxy.
1:16:35. Don't worry, Bespin is a gas giant, so if you fell, you'd never hit the ground. The air would just slowly get thicker as you kept falling, until it was eventually a crushing liquid pressure 😈
With Bespin's lore, though, you'd probably suffocate first, since the atmospheric composition is in layers, with Cloud City chilling at the altitude with breathable air.
😂😂😂 "love you like a brother"😉
Time for the mother of all plot twists!
Or… father, I guess.
So David Prowse was Vader's suit actor, yes.
But for most of the second half of the movie, he was replaced by Bob Anderson, who was the fencing instructor for the lightsaber scenes.
Now that Pirates of the Caribbean is all officially over on TH-cam, does this mean we're getting weekly Star Wars Reactions like we were for Pirates? 💜
Hopefully
Also these lightsaber can last forever but some of the very first actually had a battery pack and a cord going from the hilt to the battery
Most of what you call CGI was actually physical models over a blue screen in the original versions. Later editions of 4,5 & 6 added cgi to a few scenes but otherwise it’s physical props with groundbreaking practical techniques
Yeah. George Lucas basically had the company Industrial Light and Magic made specifically for Star Wars and their technology was so groundbreaking that they did the special effects on practically every relevant movie of the 70s and 80s. Among others they did the stuff for the Star Wars movies (obviously) and Indiana Jones, but also ET, Terminator, Jurassic Park, Star Trek II, Back to the Future and so, so many more (including, funnily enough, Spaceballs). They are legendary and there's a kind of documentary about them on Disney Plus. It's a good watch. These people did outstanding work that went way past what anyone had thought possible at the time.
Fun fact there's some special behind the scenes footage where the actor that plays chewy is actually talking to Harrison Ford but it was replaced with the moaning sound later
Fun Fact: The reveal of Vader being Luke's father was so unexpected and unbelievable that they actually had to add a scene in the next movie to confirm, once and for all, that, yes, Vader was in fact Luke's father.
The bounty hunters are here boba fett, bossk, ig-88,Dengar, and 4-lom, and zuccus
Jedi Fallen Order & Jedi Survivor are my favorite Star Wars games.
Same. I hope they play with them on the gaming channel.
They had to have Luke get all busted up because he got in a motorcycle accident
You guys literally released this an hour after I finished watching your a new hope reaction. If that isn't sublime timing I don't know what is
10:02 As a questionably wise companion once told me, “Dead not need things! We take!”
1:01:20
There exist a series of rewrites of the scripts of the star wars films as if they were plays by William Shakespeare.
In one of them Luke has a speech starting "alas poor stormtrooper."
Also because everyone speaks weirdly as a result of it being in Shakespearian, Yoda instead speaks in Haiku XD.
Those scars on Luke after the Wompa (yeti) attack aren't makeup. Mark Hammil got in an accident between movies, so they added that scene to explain it. Also, I know you use "cgi" just to mean effects, but remember virtually all of this is practical except for a few tiny bits added in the special edition in the 90s.
13:39 cant wait for tHAT moment. The definition of "he doesnt know". So surprised on how spoiler free my mans is
"Do, or do not, there is no try." One of the wisest, most iconic lines in cinema history! 💙 ❤️ 💚 💜 🧡 🤍
I mean is just just a roundabout way of saying "don't half ass it."
Also the inspiration for one of my favorite parody quotes of all time:
"There is no try. Do, or do not.
...Preferably do, because do it for you, I will not."
Lightsabers are self sufficient. The Crystal inside it (Kyber Crystal) absorbs the force around it and slowly recharges it.
You can drain a saber with excessive use but it will recharge.
I love the cave so much.
"What's in there?"
"Only what you take with you."
In the Expanded Universe, sabers would have to be charged. In canon, lightsabers are powered by force-embued kyber crystals.
They still need to be recharged the kyber crystal is more for amplifying and focusing the battery needs to be recharged every few years depending on how much it it used.
@BadwolfRuin You're not going to find any canon support for that. That's a very old EU concept. Canon diagrams have removed the "charging ports".
@@xDarthSTYXx In Rebels on Malachor, there was an ancient lightsaber that could barely ignite before winking out. In new canon from what I've been able to see and all the star wars lore channels say, kyber crystals are shown to multiply power directed at them. They don't generate infinite power or recharge themselves that was in legends.
@BadwolfRuin Age is the culprit in that case 100%. Any number of parts could have worn out.
The most succinct answer we have is Jyn Erso saying that she was told that Jedi use kyber to POWER their lightsabers. Cassian Andor also calls them "fuel for the weapon" in Rogue One. Comics also show the power of the Kyber being used to build the Final Order fleet.
@@xDarthSTYXx Ya I might be wrong or they just don't have a established Disney explanation. I always took Jyn's explanation as a simple story that her patents told her as to why they were special. Like everyone knows that they are special and powerful in some way, but the way they actually were weaponized is by the crystals focusing and amplifying energy that is pumped into them. Then when focused and released right could be harnessed into whatever energy based thing needed. Kind of like a booster for what ever system they are intergraded with but each would have to be specifically tuned for each crystal. Which is a complex resource intensive process making only really important equipment have them.
Cameron Monaghan also played Joker in the Gotham show, so, that's cool
17:05 peter mayhew while filming would just say the lines in the suit and they dubbed the wookie voice in afterwards. Same with Darth vader, the guy in the suit just said the lines and they dubbed in James Earl Jones afterwards
Vader means father in Dutch, so people in Holland had the surprise kind of spoiled.
6:44 Lightsabers do run on batteries. However, they use almost no energy when activated unless the blade is actively cutting through something, so the battery seldomly runs out of power. But as a precaution, Jedi keep extra batteries on them just in case.
My favourite movie of this trilogy. It has all the twists and turns for our heroes.
Starting with a catastrophic loss at Hoth which eventually leads to a glorious win in Bespin.
Glory to the Empire!
as cool as the Falcon is, in universe, it's basically a highly modified space semi truck
Guys, if you are watching Star Wars through Disneyplus, some of the special effects were updated with CGI. "A New Hope" had the most changes made, not for the best."
Still very limited.
I feel a special connection to this film as I own a screen accurate set of Stormtrooper Armour specific to Episode V. Love it to bits and wear it far too often lmao
The pilot that pulled off the snowspeeder tow-cable trip was Wedge Antilles. He's a Corellian like Han Solo, survived the Death Star run with Luke, and the two of them founded Rogue Squadron as the Rebellion's elite fighter pilot squadron. Luke had a short run as squadron leader before passing the mantle to Wedge. Wedge appears in ROTJ as well, and I'm fairly certain he is the only named rebellion character outside of the main cast to appear in all three of the original trilogy.
Oh yeah, and he's Obi-Wan's uncle. The actor that played him is Ewan McGregor's actual uncle.
The faces you guys had when the lightsaber broke lmao!! Lets go Ceohknee! Also, I saw you and Boom give each other that "look". I aint gonna say when, but we all know what you guys were thinking lmao. I am hyped, its been a while since I watched Star Wars, I grew up with it on VHS and then DVD/Bluray. Seeing Ruff experience it is a treat!
1:04:13 this line particularly, and pretty much all of Boba Fett’s conversations with Vader on Bespin are what cemented Fett in lore as a absolute badass.
Vader not just going “then tough luck”, and instead promising compensation if Solo died showed Fett was someone whose services he valued highly, while he was throttling admirals and constantly throwing harsher terms on Lando, who owned a city/planet.
But Boba Fett got “don’t worry, we’ll pay you in full what Jabba would have for a live Solo should he die”
06:26 it's weird to think this is the first time anyone uses The Force for telekinesis in Star Wars. So many people think of telekinesis as The Force's main power but it wasn't even introduced until the second movie and it's only ever been just one small part of what The Force is.
Its never stated in the movies but in alot of the other media that Lightsabers are powered by kyber crystals (crystals connected to the force) the same thing used to power the deathstar lazer.
I’m so glad that Ruff is experiencing these incredible movies.
so a small nehind the scene info: when Chewbacca was "talking" the actor in the suit ,Peter Mayhew, had actually lines so the co-actors could respond and knew what he was saying- also yes the "i know " part from Han was improvised , i do´t think he had any line at all in that moment
"I love you like a brother." Foul. F o u l.
The snow storm scenes at the beginning of the movie were filmed in an actual blizzard. The hotel the cast and crew were staying at to film the Hoth scenes locations got caught in a huge blizzard, so Lucas told Mark and Harrison to get into costume and tramp around out in the snow and they filmed through the window of the hotel's lobby.
Just to reiterate since Ruff seemed interested in the behind the scenes. Corrider Crew has a 3 part video breaking down the VFX of the Star Wars movies and it blew me away at how innovative and creative they had to get and just how much work went into making every scene!
To answer the question on lightsaber energy, yes, it does require a battery that is concealed within the hilt. The battery powers a light, which refracts through the Kyber crystal. The refracted light is focused through a series of lenses to produce the blade.
Yoda also acts like that in the beginning to test Luke's patience which leads to Yodas line "The boy has no patience. "
My favorite detail about Boba Fett is that when he walks the sound editors added in the sounds of boot spurs to sell that cowboy/bounty Hunter thing they were going for for him
I love seeing Ruff experience all of this for the first time, he's so invested and excited! And SeeOhKnee and Boom just baiting the hell out of him with Luke and Leia is absolute gold!
For the question about rerecording the lines. Yes they did. There is behind the scene footage of the guy in Vader 's costume voice.
For a while they sold a sleeping bag based on the Tauntaun animal. The zipper was a little lightsaber.
Did you all notice just how rough Luke is with transport in the first part of the movie? His Taun Taun gets 'bear slapped' by the Wampa Ice Beast. His Snowspeeder stepped on like a bug by the AT AT. He crashes into a, powerful with the Force, jungle and swamp. He really goes through the 'Kenner toys' in this one...
"The wookie 'voice' was added post editing. The same thing was also done with Jabba the Hutt."
Rofl Boom with the "But I love you like a brother" line. Too good...
47:55
Luke needed his weapons because he brought them with him.
"What's in there?"
"Only what you take with you!"
13:59 *devious* way to phrase that, Boom
The scars are real. He was in a car accident shortly before making this. The whole Wampa scene was written in to explain his scars.
The shock of discovering Yoda is just a goofy little guy in this movie is so funny.
"Can you cook with a lightsaber?" has got to be the most 'guy' discussion EVER!
I'm sure if anyone said this or not, but Yoda is a Jim Henson Muppet creation with Muppetteer Frank Oz, best known for Fozzie and Miss Piggy, doing the voice of Yoda as well as controlling him. He would later become CGI in the prequel films.
Also; I did notice the Saber was breaking well before Ruff pulled it apart. He only helped or along
I just have to say, I love watching these guys. It feels like I'm watching how my friends and I are when we just hang out and vibe. That ad run to self plug is a perfect example of that.
I hope I can have as much fun at my job one day. And that I get a chance to meet these dudes, it'd be stupid fun to just chill with them for a while.
49:40 Fun fact: No ship is ever shown to have a cloaking device, no matter the size, for the entirety of the movie series.
I will wait patiently until they reach Ep III.
My God... That Movie Is... I don't want to say Spoilers.
But when I finished watching it I always thought "Well... Now I understand why Hope is Important"
11:27 Fact (okay, it's more of a theory than an actual fact): There's speculation that the wampa attacking Luke scene was added in to this movie as a way to explain Luke's change in facial features. In January 1977 Mark Hamill was in a car accident that fractured his nose and left cheekbone, this wasn't any kind of big news at the time because he was still an unknown actor (A New Hope finished filming in April 1976, the film released May 25th 1977). Anyways, Mark had surgery to restructure his face and some of the cartilage taken from one of his ears to rebuild his nose. He had facial scarring when filming started and has claimed that "they used a lot of the real scars to build upon" the make up used for the scenes where he's injured post-wampa.
It's hilarious how hard they're trying to entrap Ruff into supporting twincest.
The entire Yoda, Obi wan and Luke convo is way more hilarious with context
Obi wan: "He will learn patience."
Yoda: You lineage, I do not want more part of. Done, am I, with your bullcrap
Vader dislikes the imperial officers but is very amicable when it comes to the actual troopers.
In Legends sure, not so much in canon, even his vaunted First Legion isn't above getting treated like cannon fodder.
Ya'll like the music so much? Dude is named John Williams and he's awesome!
Did the music for Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Jaws, Harry Potter, and so much more!

"Crazy swamp dude, that seems like he's gone insane!" 😂😂😂
They were setting Ruff up hard in this one.
lol the trying to re-attach the lightsaber hurt me way more than him pulling it out in the first place, but I also realize he's unfamiliar with the toy
pulling it out in the first place could weaken the plastic, but it's usually still fine - however, trying to cram & shove it back in is guaranteed to chip/crack/break it
you'd want to twist off the bottom piece and simply slide those other, smaller sections back in from the opposite side of the cone
also if you're not as picky, some of those replica lightsaber sites often have daily deals or mystery box sales
And yes the lightsaber can keep you you warm to a certain degree but only could do so much on a planet like that and yes it would be able to cut and cool the food technically
