When I was in the Navy several of my shipmates made the joke of blasting Vader's theme on a speaker as I came in to work it stuck the entire time I was there.
Ok, I watched this movie in theaters as a kid. I have since watched it Five Hundred and Eleventy Trillion times. I have seen a hundred reaction videos to it. And no one, NO ONE, Has ever asked where the Ewoks got that dress that they gave Leia. 😮😮😮 My mind is now blown.
I was 19 years old in 1983 when I saw Episode VI Return of The Jedi in the Movie theatre Everyone in the Theatre gasped when we found out Leia was Lukes Sister. Everyone in the Theatre cheered when Darth Vader turned on the Emperor. Anakin Skywalker was the Jedi who returned, The Third Force Ghost you saw was the Younger version of Anakin Skywalker. In the original showing Darth Vader did not yell no before turning on the emperor. In the original the Force Ghost was the older version of Anakin.
I'm honestly surprised you didn't react to one of the greatest lines of this movie, by Darth Vader: "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am." "...who is the lady in green..." Funnily enough, she's a member of the same species (Twi'Lek) as the guy who was announcer for Jabba (the guy with the lengths on his head, too, which you called boobs). The both have two identical lengths, or 'head tails' called 'leks', on their heads, so they have 'twin leks', they are "twi'leks". "...that looks like CGI..." Yep, added in 1997, possibly updated later depending on the version you're watching (most likely the 2004 or later). "...I could go without the singing parts..." And they weren't there in the originals. Which is why many people prefer the originals. "...oh my god...!" [at Leia's outfit] That thing sent a whole generation of people attracted to women _right_ into puberty. "...why is he crying?" Think you might cry if someone killed your cat? People get attached to their pets. "...they had to have won Oscars..." Nominated for Art Direction, Music, Sound, Sound Effect Editing, and 'Special Achievement Award (Special Effects)'. They won that last one. There were no other nominees for that last one. "...this is the most acting done by a dead character that I think I've ever seen..." Watch "The Sixth Sense". "...Luke and Leia!? They're twins!?..." Yep. Fraternal twins, obviously. Happens sometimes, in fact more often than _identical_ twins. "...They kissed!..." Yep, Greek tragedy. "...Luke was sent to be a dirt farmer..." Moisture farmer. Gathering moisture out of the atmosphere on a desert planet to provide water. It'd be a vital profession on such a world, even though it's thermodynamically near-on impossible and would _likely_ be _cheaper_ to just ship in water from elsewhere. "...whoever did that, I'd punch them in the face..." Can't. He's already dead. "...where'd that dress come from?..." One of the enduring mysteries of this movie. "...can he feel..." All evidence says yes. Remember that droids were crying out when being branded in Jabba's Palace, and in the Empire Strikes Back C-3P0 was exclaiming in pain when he got his head smashed into the top of the entry into the Millennium Falcon while they were escaping, _and_ when R2-D2 wasn't careful where he was welding C-3P0 back together. In the first movie, he remarked that an oil bath would feel good. So... yes... they have _some_ sort of sense of touch. And they're able to think and talk like regular people. This means they're slaves... disposable equipment that you can torture all you like. It's really, _really_ sick, but people try not to think about it. Oh, and Chewie? He's basically a talking pet, considered _barely_ above an animal, possibly just as 'an animal companion'. "...so you... knowingly kissed your brother on the lips?..." Kind of. She knew how she _truly_ felt towards him, the feelings of their connection, which was... well, like a brother, but in that moment when she kissed him in front of Han she was too angry to care, and later on those little pecks were... more familial. She sensed what she felt, but couldn't quite explain it, and so largely ignored it. It's also the reason Luke was attracted to Leia. First it was just about her appearance, and when they met he felt a connection but didn't understand what it was. "...does every humanoid just understand each other..." No, they each speak different languages, but the languages are such that in many ways a different species can't _speak_ them because they lack the body bits needed to do it (vocal range and so on), so people learn lots of different languages to communicate. Notice that while _Han_ understands Wookie (as does C-3P0, of course), no one else seems to (because it's a _really_ uncommon language). This isn't quite as far fetched as it sounds. Iceland, for instance, has a huge portion of the population that understands English and Dutch _in addition to_ Icelandic, and those are 'non-optional', with other languages (mostly French, German, and Spanish) also frequently learned, so there's a good portion of that population that knows 5 languages. "...their armor is trash..." It's astonishing how effective primitive weaponry can be, even against modern armor. It doesn't have to punch though, a blow to the head that knocks your head to the side, even if it doesn't get through the armor, is _still_ going to cause brain trauma. Same with _other_ blunt-force trauma. "...why are they fearing [Storm Troopers] when these little bastards with sticks and rocks are whoopin' they ass..." The Ewoks (little guys) have a few advantages. They're _specialized_ in fighting in this sort of terrain, their enemy isn't. They _outnumber_ the Storm Troopers by a lot. They're using stealth and sneak-attack strategies a lot. We've seen this be effective when the British militaries (in small numbers) were attacked by native groups (in larger numbers), even though the British had better equipment. _Plus,_ not that they show this, once you take a Storm Trooper down... you have a blaster. And now you can use _their_ weapons against them to some extent. Even with this, though, the Ewoks realistically would have taken heavy casualties. "...why is it, when the evil ones redeem themselves, like, they have to pay with their lives..." A leader of the KKK that's lynched 30 black folk and ordered the deaths of a couple hundred more suddenly realizes he was wrong. ... Exactly how many people, do you think, are gonna _care_ that he realizes it at this point? That's all nice for him, but the things he did can't just 'go away' because he realizes he was wrong. And if all this guy _really_ did was save one black person as he realized it, I don't think that'd change the math on this. There's no place for Vader in the universe anymore. He wasn't just some _follower_ who got duped or was in a bad position, he was the _leader_ of the thing. I very much doubt _Hitler_ having _surrendered_ would have saved him, either, which is why he took _himself_ out. "...Luke lost a hand..." Yeah, but C-3P0 got blasted to bits once. :P "...who the hell is that guy..." Yeah, that makes _no sense_ because they changed it. That's not the original. There _was_ someone there, but they replaced him in the 1997 version (and onward) to fit with the prequels. Plus you're denied the fun music that was originally at the end of the movie. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TvXm5HuR72k.html "...whatever outfit they had her in at the beginning... I gotta find one of those..." Leia Slave Outfit or Leia Bikini. Search it, you'll find places it can be purchased. I'm glad to see you have as much disdain for the sequels as I do, and for the same reasons. Yeah... they're a _dumpster fire_ and I don't consider them canon. I like the original trilogy (preferably without the horrid CGI), I can _kinda_ tolerate the prequels (though they aren't great), and I like Rogue One, but otherwise... as far as I'm concerned there's no other Star Wars movies. As for order, I place 4 above 6, but only because it's... at least _kinda_ sensible? I mean, especially with the original without all the CGI, it's better. Moreover, we have _reasons_ for _why_ the Storm Troopers sucked as badly as they did when they fought in numbers. By the time the troopers were ganging up on the trio, they had orders to _not_ kill them... because they were trying to let them escape in order to track them. But there's _no_ excuse for it later on when killing was definitely on the table, and by 6 it was just ridiculous. Honestly, of the Ewoks had suffered _major_ losses, maybe. But 5 is still the top, always. It's... just so _good_ as a story, and how it's done! Have a nice day!
Fun fact you might not have noticed but the prop department screwed up on this movie and made only 3X3 officer plaques. Every officer seen is either wearing the rank of Commander (3x3 plaque 2 code cylinders) or Captain (3x3 plaque 1 code cylinder)
One of my favorite sequences in ROTJ is the Falcon escaping the rapidly exploding Death Star. The mix of music, timing, and special effects, it's pure magic. I just put the movie on to watch it again. Did you guys notice that when Luke and Wedge went to hug at the party it looked like they were totally going to kiss! I think their faces even bumped a little. Also, do you guys think that the Jedi Ghosts should have danced around a little, too? Did Anakin give Obi-Wan a hug? Are either of them really over what happened between them?
54:58 "Because he doesn't sound the best." There are a few clips on RU-vid with Vader's original voice from David Prowse that played him, until George Lucas found James Earl Jones, the man who also did the voice to Mufasa in the Lion King and had him redub Vader's parts prior to the release of the first movie. Prowses voice were not what I call intimidating.
The stormtrooper armor could be compared to a bullet proof vest in our world. While it does great against blaster fire it wont stop something like a sharp object. Shoot at a person wearing a bullet proof vest with a cross bow and even though they are wearing a vest that bolt will go right through. The Ewoks were also aiming at weak points where the armor did have small gaps just like an enemy soldier did with a medieval knight.
The reason why Boba seemed so out of it was because he had been drugged the night before. There was actually supposed to be a far better fight between Luke and Boba in the movie, but it was cut during post. The jetpack had a large gash on it from Luke's saber that you might make out when Han hit it. That is what caused it to malfunction.
Not necessarily a spoiler, but trivia: C3PO and R2D2 are the only characters that appear in all nine episodes plus Rogue One, and most if not all of the Clone Wars TV series. If you think you hate C3P0 then wait until you meet Jar Jar Binks.
Loved watching your no-holds-barred reaction! I rank the original trilogy as this: 1. Empire (you said it all) 2. New Hope (awesome as F. but not as much as #1) 3. Jedi (disappointed me with bunch of Muppets/koalas and emperor cackling too much like a cheesy villain). As for the so-called eps 7-8-9, you nailed them pretty well. Until SW rights are snatched again from Disney clutches and the sequel completely overwritten, I consider them non existent.
The colors of the light saber is determined from what crystal that is used and the crystal is chosen from what path the Jedi take. Blue indicated a Jedi Guardian, a Jedi who used the Force on a more physical level. Green indicated a Jedi Consular, a Jedi who preferred to reflect on the mysteries of the Force and fight the dark side at its heart. The red crystal is artificiality made and is only used by Sith lords like Vader and emperor Palpatine.
Can also be a jedi crystal that is bled turning it red. There were also a few old jedi that did use red crystals in their saber just as there were dark jedi/ sith that used blue and green blades.
The only real kiss between Luke and Leia was on Hoth to piss off Han. All others were just pecks. Leia were not even meant to be his sister. There should be a new character but personal issues made George Lucas rush the movie and scripted Leia as his sister.
@@looneysuniverse Indeed I embraced the dark side a long time ago as well as embracing the Sith code Peace is a lie. There is only Passion. Through Passion, I gain Strength. Through Strength, I gain Power. Through Power, I gain Victory. Through Victory my chains are Broken. The Force shall free me
Not my favorite either but it’s still a good flick….the Ewoks(the Koala Bears) we’re a bit off putting but proved to be a great ally….Luke trying to bring Vader to the Jedi side & their duel was top notch 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
@@looneysuniverse yup. More mature. Some said back in ‘83 “why is he wearing so much black?” In the back of my head I was like “maybe he’s ready to join his father & be a sith lord…” his love for his father stopped him from becoming full on sith tho 😎
I really thought he was for a second completely ignoring the name of the movie. Still in there back of my head I wonder what a sith Luke running around would be like and would love to see it
@@looneysuniverse you should read the one of the graphic novels where Luke goes Sith just to get close to the new Emperor….he is so convincing that Han goes after him & calls him a “bastard”….it was wild 😱
"This doesn't match" "What the hell is going on here" lol. We all felt the same. The original scene was better. Here's link to compare versions. I like puppet lip lady better. lol. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TkwjXeBuIm0.html
I’ve tried my friend but unfortunately to be fair I’m going to rewatch them with the knowledge I more have after watching the other 2 trilogies. Pray for my sanity lol
@@looneysuniverse Fair enough, but understand that two horrible directors almost sank the franchise. Myself, I can re-watch any of the films/ shows, but I have zero desire to watch those three ever again. The directors and writers did little except piss all over Lucas' work. Have a good one.
