I saw Vader's skeleton in a VHS tape rental about 1984 or 85. I was watching the movie on a RENTED VCR and spotted the x-ray effect and was able to rewind and then slow-motion watch and pause the shots for full effect. Awesomeness.
Vader/Anakin might have remembered the high-ground advantage, but at the same time failed to notice how things were playing out very similarly like during the battle of Coruscant; Palps in a fancy chair, a jedi knight dueling a sith lord, then Palps more than happy to cast aside his pawn for a better candidate. And this time HE was the one who was getting replaced.
No, he _did_ notice that...Just as he noticed _something else._ The scene in the Chancellor's Office... An unarmed man, defenseless, begging for help as his body is destroyed by Force Lightning. A decision that he had to make, to stop the attacker and save this person... The only difference now is, the realization that 20 years ago, the man being electrocuted by the lightning, was the man who was shooting it the entire time. The man who tricked him into thinking he was weak and defenseless against Master Windu. A man who promised salvation for his dead-wife, only to deny him the secrets to save her. A man who cruelly told him that his wife (and child) were dead, and that his anger was to blame...And who callously told him that _her loss would fuel his anger and hate, and make him more powerful._ Vader was reliving that night on Coruscant all those years ago, and he could finally see with clarity, who the villain truly was. And now he had the chance to do it over; to make it right...
@@GanonGhidorah What do you expect from a Tory, I mean I'm not excusing Sideous but if I'd been married to Maggies Thatch I'd probably go and fall to the derp side too....
The rebels' fight against the Empire was illegal to begin with, so there were no "legitimate" targets. The rebels are a bunch of terrorists until they win.
During the Sarlacc Pit battle pay close attention to Chewbacca. He largely sits out the battle because he gets shot in the leg. You can even see blood on his leg at one point. Also in regards to the "Rex" Rebel Trooper, you can even see him putting on the remaining Scout Trooper's armor in the background as Han, Leia, and Chewie enter the bunker. He is also reveled to have been spotted as he is without the helmet and has his hands over his head when Han, Leia, and Chewie are walked out.
In addition to the Ewoks never being mentioned by name, their home is widely referred to as Endor by most people when Endor is actually the name of the gas giant planet that the Forrest Moon of Endor orbits.
@@Chris-bv1bkIt doesn't mean that, it's referred to as the forest moon of Endor but that's not a name, it's a pronominal construction used in place of a name.
Return Of The Jedi was the very first Star Wars movie that I ever saw. I was 4 years old. It was also my favorite book that my Mother read to me then. It has been 35 years and I missed nothing in your list. Good job. 👍😉
@@TommygunNG From what I've read/heard (sorry, don't have the sources), the Rebellion only destroyed the Death Star's shield. The Sanctuary Moon's shield protected the place from the remains of Death Star II.
Also the brave A-Wing pilot who sacrificed himself to let the super star destroyer crash into the Death Star probably accounts for a chunk of the overall death toll on the DS. So Lando/Wedge are not responsible for ALL of them. You also have to substract any TIE pilots who were stationed on the DS, but killed in the fleet engagement. And finally there were probably a few survivors who would also have to be counted out.
People forget in the original Star Wars Luke's lightsaber was yellow and if you remember the 1978 Luke Skywalker from Kenner had a yellow lightsaber it was also later changed blue
I learned many of them from SW Knights of the Old Republic on PC. It’s a MMORPG and it’s insanely fun. It’s free too but I prefer to pay for status for better weapons etc. when you travel to Alderaan you get to visit many of these houses. You can also collect the house flags to display in your stronghold which is basically a home base you own and decorate w things from your adventures. I highly recommend playing it if you like Star Wars.
@@My_mid-victorian_crisis me too. I love it. Especially bc it’s always evolving and expansions to the story are free. Man it’s more complex than back in the day & it drives me mad how easy it is to level up now when it once took hours of grinding to get the xp. It was a slap in the face to veterans of the game.
@@ecthelion222 TOTALLY!! I like it now because I'm teaching my young son to play. But... I've gotten three characters passed the vanilla story in as many months. It took a good year to get my first 50 back in the day. I kind of lost my OG account in a divorce.
Always loved how Luke catches the lightsaber and has a pause like he’s taking deep breath before going and fighting. 😂 Luke says to Wedge taking the groove at increased speed will be like “beggars canyon, back home” showing that not only do they know each other they raced against each other in previous years on Tatooine. Also Denis Lawson who plays Wedge is the real life uncle of Ewan McGregor…
Regarding the Beggar's Canyon reference - I think you might confuse Wedge with Luke's old friend Biggs Darklighter whom he meets in Ep IV (and who dies during the attack on Death Star 1).
I think we can split the 2nd Death Star body count with Wedge. The Falcon may have fired the final shot, but Wedge hit it first and hit it hard. "Roger Gold Leader. I'm already on my way out." Fu#@ng legend!!!
ROTJ__When Han and Lando are talking with the Falcon in the background, right before leaving for Endor, Lando's chest badge is on one side one moment and when the camera cuts back to Lando from Han it's on the other side of his chest, then returns to the original side at the end of their conversation.
Vader's lightsaber seems the right way up to me when thrown as you can see the catch where it hangs on the belt. Which, if were the wrong way around, you wouldn't see.
I have always found it really odd that when Luke is "hiding" from Vader in their lightsaber battle - and Vader says "then perhaps she will....." and Luke screams "NOOOOO" and turns his blade on.....HE IS RIGHT BESIDE VADER!!! How did Vader not see him right there? It's not even dark....you can see the light coming through the stairs and clearly see Luke silhouette. He was right there!! 😊 (Not to mention the background behind Luke changes during the dialogue- to when he ignites his blade...right in front of the stairs!!!) HE WAS RIGHT THERE!!! 😉
He was taunting him. Not trying to kill him. He wanted Luke to get angry and turn. You also have to remember he IS wearing an Imperial designed helmet and you can’t see a thing in those.
I missed a TON of things! Wonder, amazement, a fresh story, a good script, well rehearsed actors whose line readings don’t sound like a table read, groundbreaking visual effects, continuity with Empire, drama aimed more toward adults than Toys R Us shelves. I missed all of that!
Final one is wrong for two reasons: 1. DS2 was a shared kill with Wedge. 2. The blast would have eventually polluted the “sanctuary moon” and killed off a bunch of the ungrateful Ewoks.
Two things to mention that seems to get missed is Lando's weapon holster switching sides in the hangar scene when talking to Han Solo. Also the cardbord Stormtroopers/Scout troopers are easy to miss when the Emperor arrives as they are very out of focus, but it is there. But the holster switch have always been the most annoying for me ever since I first saw Star Wars in the 80:ies.
According to George Lucas, the robots (droids) in STAR WARS are neither male nor female. They only have male or female voices. TC-14 Ep 1 is one such example. So to say that L3-37 is the first female robot also means that it is the first to have "gender" But certainly not the first with a female voice.
Okay some things are good, but the who the hell didn’t knew that the skeleton of Vader is showing. Next time pls look for something more special or reduce it to less facts. But that one isn’t really a “missed” fact.
Wedge Antilles - True hero of the Rebellion (and token trilogy survivor) This list was pretty cool. I learned a few things, I already knew a couple of things - but you Gareth Morgan. . . . . . I'll never be able to look at a Rancor again . . . . . . .
Watch Salacious Crumb's interactions with Jabba in Act 1. He's always following Jabba's tail, and at one point it looks like he's getting ready to bite down on it. A later scene shows a tear in Jabba's tail, where Crumb was oogling.
In the scene of Jabba smoking his bong, his eyes glow orange red. There's a Jawa behind him fanning him with what looks like a giant cannabis fan leaf, it's on the poster too. Wookieepedia says he's smoking Marcan, the first thee letters of marijuana and cannabis combined. He lives in a desert mountain fortress, surrounded by slaves and mercenaries while smoking hash. He's based on the "Old Man of the Mountain", the leader of the Hashhashins, the Assassins.
You maybe have missed that in the Vader redemption scene right before he picks up the Emperor he is wearing a helmet where the eye glasses are 30 % bigger to use the baby face scheme to make him subconsciously more likeable. I'm a little bit disappointed it's not included in this list.
Marquand voiced EV-9D9. Lucas wanted Spielberg to direct but bcz he(GL) was no longer in the Guild, he went with Marquand but ended up having to be on the set almost every day anyway.
Yoga didn’t die of natural causes, he completed Luke’s training and chose to become one with the force, the same as obi-wan did, Vader didn’t strike him down he was already gone, and the same thing Luke did.
The one that always gets missed when picking over Return of the Jedi, although it’s way harder to hear in more recent releases. When the super star destroyer crashes into the Death Star, there is a shot directly afterwards where Admiral Akbar slumps into his chair relieved and his crew cheer and celebrate in the background. If you listen, you can clearly hear one of the extras shout “Die Dickheads!”
From what I've heard (Sorry, no source) is that Ackbar was somewhat sad to see Admiral Piett die. Ackbar did serve, apparently, as Piett's best man at the Imperial's wedding.
@@paulbalch9506I always interpreted his slumping down with thinking about the massive casulties inflicted. The "normal" troopers were able to cheer but he as a commander knew the numbers and knew what they really meant.
Regarding the green lightsaber, there is an explanation where George Lucas would have changed from blue to green so that people would understand that it was a new lightsaber, and not the old one that he lost in Ep V. I have not heard any of the explanations from George himself.
Yoda died for the same reason Luke did. Luke to project himself to Leah, Yoda to hide him and Luke from Vader. The balance that hid Yoda was offset by Luke's arrival and Yoda died from over use the way Luke did
Wait, wasn't there a "female" protocol droid that C3P0 followed on cloud city? It's been a long time since I've seen the movie so I can't be sure, but if I'm right then THAT was the first "female" droid
I think you can make a case for Luke dying of natural causes. He was a Jedi (by his own declaration). He died through over-exertion while creating a Force projection to be sure, but I don't think of that as being an unnatural death. Using the Force was completely natural for him, and I see it as being every bit a death by natural causes as someone with an aging heart might expire during a period of extra activity.
If you slow down Vader getting electrocuted (or whatever) you can see the force lighting strike an area of his brain extra hard before Palpatine goes down the shaft.
Actually Wedge is seen getting killed multiple times in a New Hope if you pay attention you see his X-wing destroyed several times. Surprised you didn't bring up the Ewok victory celebration where they were eating Stormtroopers meaning that it is very likely our heroes engaged in some good old fashioned cannibalism.
Ummm... The Ewoks were going to cook Han, Luke, and Chewie right at the beginning. I can't understand why people act like it is a conspiracy that the Ewoks were cannibalistic when the movie literally says they were cannibalistic. Listen to Threepioh's dialogue about the feast in his honor
@@nooneofconsequence3847 indeed and then at the end when everyone is celebrating and the Ewoks are playing drums on the severed heads of stormtroopers, you see meat on the table. At the victory celebration after a battle. So since none o the had time to go out and hunt where did said meat come from. Obviously the Stormtroppers. Meaning that Luke and gang likely ate stormtrooper meat as well.
Historically, some groups ate the heart of their enemies. Icky but not necessarily as out of the question as you would think. We never see humans eat meat so they could have just eaten fruits and vegetables. Chewie could have eaten a trooper or two though.
EV-9D9 isn't a chick. Just because you read some bogus retcon crap somewhere on the internet doesn't make it so. The first female droid showed up in TPM as TC-14.
The Ewoks didn't need to be named on screen because there was lots of toy marketing on TV. Kids who never went to see Jedi in the theatre knew his name was Wicket.
Another edit error is in the movie. When Luke is hiding in the shadows during his duel with Vader you can clearly see Vader holding Luke's lightsaber as he is tempting Luke to surrender.
Yeah, it's kinda crazy when you think about it. When Lando and Luke blew up the 2 Death Stars, in those single acts, they had each smoked more people in a single attack than basically anyone else ever has. "I've killed more men at 1 time than most do in their entire lives." Frigging nuts.
Need people’s opinion on this: Does Luke’s death deserve to be called a “natural death” or not? Edit: Luke dual wielding his green saber and Anakin’s blue saber would be really cool to see sometime
I would say not natural; it was death by exertion/strain. He wasn't shown to be particularly close to death, so he likely could have continued living if not for that trick.
The ghost from Star Wars rebels doesn’t only turn up in the rise of skywalker look at the ship screen left of the millennium falcon in the hanger before the space part of the battle of Endor no I am not yanking your chain that is the ghost from Star Wars rebels yeah it made his debut in 1983 you wouldn’t recognise it because Star Wars rebels didn’t come out until 2014 31 years later.
I wish they'd just play the sounds when listing them as examples on these videos. I know it probably falls under copyright fluff but makes the videos less enjoyable
(0:05:43) I've seen the changes in RU-vid videos, but I have never watched and refuse to watch 2011 or later versions of the Original Trilogy or Episode I. I watch the DVDs and VHS Versions. Return of the Jedi has the WORST change of any movie, Vader's "No Noooo" when he saves Luke from Palpatine.
