It's nice to see a reactor cutting Lando a bit of slack. Everyone always overlooks that he's essentially the mayor of a city, and he's got their collective wellbeing to consider. What if he refuses Vader and Vader kills some of his people as punishment? I honestly think most of us would have made the same choice in Lando's position.

@ncpirate5477 2 года назад

Agreed, I never blamed Lando for his decision. Lando was looking out for the people in his charge. It evident he cared for them because he just didn’t flee cloud city without telling the population to evacuate as well

@Imabassplayer2 2 года назад

100% agree he had everybody's lives on his shoulders and was never not going to make that deal. On the surface Lando comes across as unlikeable. Which was the point and it was done very well. Then on second viewing you see past what they want you to feel and realise he did the right thing. We know our hero's and feel angry at Lando but he has his people to think of. Then you begin to cut the guy some slack. There is a bigger picture to be seen but since we are angry at Lando we don't see it right away which is brilliantly done. God I love this trilogy.

@mycroft16 2 года назад

100% this. There was no choice. Lando knew that. Vader knew that. Lando's only option was to go along and pray something presented itself. Which it did, and he was ready to leap on the opportunity. Vader could have killed people. He threatened to install a garrison of troops there, which would have been constant never-ending death threats on everyone. He could have destroyed the entire city. Lando did the only thing he could.

@DavidSmith-mt7tb 2 года назад

What I loved about how they handle this in this movie is they don't give a long explanation. Story respects the intelligence of its audience, who should be able to understand why he would do that. All he says is "they got here before you and I had no choice." That's enough. And the way he is still likable after and is an ally going forward tells you he was no Imperial supporter and didn't conspire against Han. Also we know it was Boba that tracked Han there. The Falcon's hyperdrive was busted so it makes sense the Empire figured out where they were headed and easily beat them there.

@tonyz8553 2 года назад

What everybody misses in the Cloud City scenes is that Lando tried to stop them from landing. He ordered his security pod ships to fire a warning shot at the Falcon and tell them not to land. They ignored them and landed anyway so it's not Landos fault they got captured. He had no other choice once they landed.

With this movie they were trying to prevent spoilers from leaking, but certain cast mates were horrible about keeping secrets (Carrie Fischer in particular). So in the script Instead of "I am your father" it said "Obi-Wan killed your father." Then they pulled Mark Hamill into a room told him the actual line and said, its only us who know, so if it leaks we know its you. He kept the secret.

James Earl Jones had the correct line in his script, of course, but didn’t know if Vader was telling the truth or not. Obviously, he turned out to be trustworthy with that secret as well. So if have a secret you need to share but also be kept, just tell JEJ or MH.

@andrewking2112 2 года назад

It was rough at the time for viewers as well. I was 10 and my aunt had seen it first. She came over to our house and immediately spewed out, "Have you seen ESB yet!?!?! Oh my god! Luke gets his arm chopped off and Han Solo dies!" Fortunately, her info was mostly wrong but my mom was pissed and luckily she left out the Vadar/father thing. Spoilers back then were very new since sequels were just building steam and people didn't really know any better.

I'd compare it to a country's government, for example USA's government, if you attack the Pentagon or The White House, a lot of the time the president and high ranking officials and bureaucracts aren't there, so yeah, it would be a blow to the government and the political-militar institutions but that doesn't mean you get to defeat a country, government nor system.

@danielmorency2242 2 года назад

Yeah... The Empire lost the Death Star, but there's an entire galaxy filled with imperial ships, bases, and troops. All lead by the mysterious Emperor, who's origin and place of rule will be discussed and seen in the prequels. Also, much of the politics surrounding the Empire's domination on the galaxy is much further developed in the prequels. For now though, it's ok just to know that there is still an Empire, with an Emperor sitting on a throne somewhere, who has his second in command (Darth Vader) doing the dirty work in finding and eliminating those who oppose the harsh rule of the Empire (i.e.: the Rebellion).

@-taz- Год назад

I don't think Darth Vader was second in command? He was not part of the hierarchy at all in Star Wars (like Grand Moff Tarkin, for example), and in Empire he was not in the top few highest even, because he lost the Death Star. I can't tell anything from the movies, but there were books and video games that mentioned it. I would say Darth Vader was just a fool and a patsy. He had no good reason to turn to the dark side, except that he was easily fooled by the Emperor. That's unfortunate, because Episodes IV-V-VI were excellent. The rest just didn't hold up.

@@pvanukoff I'm not sure where it says that in a New Hope. (In fact, it never said "A New Hope" until after Episode V came out.) I don't think Vader had any military position originally -- at least not that I remember. (I haven't watched IV all the way though since it was re-released in the late 90's.) Vader was more like a religious figure, outside of the official military, or maybe a personal representative to the emperor, as far as I could tell. I'm not even sure there was an emperor when Star Wars came out. I think the relationships and situation in general was intentionally left vague, because it was more about the action and adventure.

@karlsmith2570 2 года назад

Hey Addie, Fun fact for you: In the scene where Vader tells Luke that he's his father, they'd had a false page that actor David Prowse, who played Darth Vader, as he spoke the lines before they would be dubbed over by James Earl Jones, where Prowse said that Obi-Wan killed Luke's father, it was literally only moments before shooting the scene that Mark Hamill would be told what Vader was actually going to tell Luke

@Pecos1 2 года назад

I think Vader didn't kill anyone there at the end because he was truly reaching out to the son he only just found he had, and he knew the hyperactive had been successfully disconnected, so when the Falcon suddenly jumped, he was more distraught at losing his son, and rather than reveal his emotions in that moment, chose simply to walk away, going to his private chamber. Admiral Piett was, rightly so, deathly afraid he would be blamed for the Falcon's escape, but when Vader just walked away, he was both perplexed and unbelievably relieved, probably thinking that maybe Vader knew it wasn't his fault. In a way, Vader neither blaming nor killing Piett could work more in Vader's favor, because it could make Piett more loyal to Vader if he thinks Vader didn't punish him because he knew the escape wasn't Piett's fault. I doubt Vader gave it a second thought, too focused on Luke, but Piett could easily have read to situation differently. I remember being in the theater when Vader said those famous words. I was 7 years old, and I cried. I didn't want Vader to really be his dad. Haha

@erikbjelke4411 6 месяцев назад

Well, and Vader was standing right there. He saw the crew did everything he asked, no one failed him. The Rebels just pulled through and escaped. It's no one's fault, there's no one punish. As much as Vader is a memetic Bad Boss who kills people over anything, everything, and nothing, we see that he really only punishes those who really make critical errors. Captain Needa could have ordered TIE Fighters to do a visual survey of his ship, that would have discovered the Falcon. Now, yeah, he didn't know he needed to do that, but he could have run down the possibilities for how they seemingly vanished and eliminated them. He didn't.

In 1992, I was around 8 years old and I happened across this movie on late-night television and was enthralled. I had no idea what was going on but the first thing I did was ask my mom to rent it the next day. When I found out there were two other films I rented them as well. I fell in love with the trilogy and immersed myself in everything Star Wars that I could find, and I always dreamed about seeing them on the big screen. That dream came true in 1997 when the special edition was released in theaters for the 20th anniversary. It was fun watching your reaction to these classics. On a funny note, when the special edition was released I remember seeing the actors doing several interviews and recall that Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) stated that when the Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980, he endured endless ribbing from his young children's schoolmates for betraying Han Solo.

There's a fun behind the scenes story Mark Hamill had told about filming with Yoda. The whole set was elevated so Frank Oz, the puppeteer and voice of Yoda, could move around and control Yoda. Because Frank was under the floor, they used a radio transmitter so Mark could hear what Frank was saying. At least once while filming, the receiver in Mark's ear would change stations. Mark called out something along the likes of 'Hey! I'm hearing the Rolling Stones!', which caused them to have to stop, reset the scene, and start over.

Yoda is puppeteered by Frank Oz, who's otherwise known for being one of the original Muppeteers who puppeteered many of the Muppets from The Muppets and Sesame Street, such as Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Animal, Sam the Eagle, Bert, Grover, Cookie Monster, the hands of the Swedish Chef amongst others. He also was the voice of Fungus in Monsters, Inc. and Guard Dave in Inside Out. He was assisted by Kanthryn Mullen, who puppeteered several minor Muppets and Mokey Fraggle in the original Fraggle Rock. Originally, George Lucas asked Jim Henson to puppeteer Yoda but he was too busy with The Muppet Show and preparing The Dark Crystal and The Great Muppet Caper, so he suggested Frank Oz and consulted on how to make Yoda. Coincidently, the filming of The Empire Strikes Back happened at Elstree Studios where ITC filmed The Muppet Show and Mark Hamill (appearing as both Luke Skywalker and himself as Luke's "cousin"), C-3PO, R2D2 and Chewbacca appeared in Season 4 of The Muppet Show durint the filming of Empire Strikes Back.

29:27 That is my favorite Vader moment. It has been established through the whole movie that he kills subordinates that fail at their jobs. In this moment, though, no one failed. Everyone did everything exactly right. They escaped while Vader was directly in command, so he calmly walked out of the command center while everyone held their breath. I think it's because he still felt it was a victory. Luke now knows the truth. Maybe he'll come back.

Fun Fact: 24:00 - Han's original line was supposed to have been "I love you too" in response to Leia. But Harrison Ford improvised the "I know" because he felt like it was more of a Han Solo thing to say. And Leia and Han's "I love you" "I know" is one of the most memorable moments in the series. Up next in the original trilogy: "Return of the Jedi". Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

Carrie Fisher was 5'1" tall that's why the regular sized cast look tall next to her

@jerrybraverman5122 2 года назад

Yes, Mark Hamill (Luke) did have to film with snakes, and even got bitten by one. It wasn't poisonous, and he wasn't badly injured by it.

@44.caliberbrainsurgery63 2 года назад

I remember seeing this as a kid for the first time. It’s crazy to think that after all these years. These movies haven’t lost their magic, even to adults. Mind you I grew up in the 90s so I didn’t see it in theaters upon release, but the magic was there for me too. Do yourself a favor one of these days and track down the de-specialized versions of these movies. So you can see the movies the way they were before they continued to change things. They of course leave in the changes that were actually improvements to the movies so you get the best of both worlds.

@ashuradragosani5960 2 года назад

The snakes not poisonous. In one scene Mark Hamill Shook his hand and exclaimed, 'It bit me.' Back then they used mainly practical effects, this also meant having to have actual animals on set.

The Han and Leia hallway argument is funny. Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher were out all night partying and got called in at 6am to do the scene.

You wondered about how everyone was so tall, especially conpared to Leia. The late Carrie Fisher (Leia) was all of 5 foot 1 inch. Mark Hamill (Luke) is between 5 foot 7 inches and 5 foot 9 inches. Harrison Ford (Han) is 6 foot 1 inch. David Prowse (Darth Vader) was 6 foot 6 inches (but 6 foot 8 in the armor as Vader). The late Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) was a towering 7 feet 3 inches. Carrie was also Hollywood royalty...her mother was the late movie actress-singer-dancer Debbie Reynolds (best known for the movie musicals 'Singin' In The Rain' and 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown' for which she was nomintaed for an Oscar)...and Debbie was only an inch taller than Carrie. Her father was the singer Eddie Fisher (who was a huge star of the 1950s and 60s), and her step-mother (briefly) was the legendary Elizabeth Taylor. Her daughter Billie Lourd is a cast member of 'American Horror Story' as well as all three Star Wars Sequel Trilogy films (Episodes VII-The Force Awakens, VIII-The Last Jedi, and IX-The Rise of Skywalker) as Lt. Connix.

One thing you will notices is that in single movie in the Skywalker Saga (Episodes 1-9) R2-D2 will save the day at least once in each movie. He saved them from the trash compactor in E4. Here he opens the doors and also repairs the hyperdrive. The rest, you will just have to watch. Artoo-Detoo is the real hero of the series.

"I love you." "I know." One of the greatest improvised lines in film. Cuz originally, he was meant to respind with "me too," or "i love you too." (I forget which). But Harrison Ford felt it was out of character, and the more reassuringly cocky "i know," came from this.

@SandmanGotBeer 2 года назад

Luke's jedi training is highly haphazard and unorthodox. In the height of the Republic and the Jedi Order, children from infants to the age of 3 or 4 were found through the Force by the Jedi and taken from their parents to be trained at the Jedi Temple. A Jedi Padawan (student) would train under Yoda or another master within their clan (like Gryffindor or Hufflepuff for Harry Potter fans) until the age of 11-13, at which time a Jedi Knight or Master would take them as an apprentice for individual training until the age of 20-25. Luke never even knew of the Force until he was 19. In this movie, he's 22 or 23. He's also a Skywalker so he has untold raw power in him. Both factors together are exceptionally dangerous when talking about him just beginning his training at that age. His impatience and lack of discipline make him even more susceptible to the dark side. Loving these reactions and binging them enthusiastically.

My guess is that Vader didn't kill anyone at the end, after the hyperdrive was restarted, because he was actually in a really good mood after just talking with his son. Him being in a good mood is very rare.

Nice! This still/is my favourite SW movie. The pace and the character development was perfect.. Of course the 'father' scene was the payoff. The Han and Leia arch.. we get to know more about Chewy's character whne it concerns Han.. Luke's connection to Vader/Ben/Yoda and the force.. and also an introduction to Lando.. I have say one of fav characters.. even with everything going on with the city/imperials/bounter hunters etc.. he forget everything the moment he lays eyes on Leia.. lol The sabre battle scene at 27:23 I still love..(might be cause combat scenes are a lil longer than 2 seconds.. Heheh.. also the backdrop of the shots. Music of course was top notch.

I am a long-time Star Wars Geek and these movies are all great. That said, the older Original Trilogy gets to be routine for me after seeing it so many times over.

Thank you for reminding me again about the wonderment of these films.
