The young Darth Vader was added in to that force ghost scene in the end after they finished making episodes 1-3. Before that we had the original Anakin who was an older guy as he was when he died. I so love this movie and the epic fight at the end, between good and evil, Luke rejecting the dark side in the most heroic style. Pure class.
When Leia says "I know. Somehow, I've always known" she is saying she knew on a subconscious level. She knew she felt an instant connection with Luke, but she was not consciously aware that Luke was her twin brother, only that she felt deeply connected to him for reasons she could not explain.
absolutely, and the Force may have something to do with this connection. I understood it that way when I was a child but no reactor I've seen seems to get it (Leia kissed Luke before she or the filmmakers knew he was her brother so everybody just give it a rest)
Leia visibly used the Force when she sensed Luke in "The Empire Strikes Back". However, she didn't know what was happening. It must've felt like a minor miracle to her.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoatlmao what? Leia literally has the force. It’s a know fact in the Star Wars universe. And also I don’t think all women think we can see the force lol
The Actor Who played Wicket (The Ewok who finds Leia in the woods) is Warwick Davis when he was 12 years old, he later goes on to play Willow at age 17 and Professor Flitwick (Old Charms Teacher and Younger Music/chanting Teacher in later HP movies, both are the same character) in the Harry Potter Movies plus Two Goblins from the Gringots Wizarding Bank. over the years he has played various characters in Star Wars movies in the background
Warwick also plays evil Leprechaun too. Warwick also runs a talent agency with his father-in-law for little people entertainers. Agency is Willow Management.
It's interesting because most of us *hated* seeing Hayden Christensen in this film. What's interesting is that they never saw the original actor that appeared at the end. So, like most of us conjectured , it was confusing to see Hayden as a young Darth Vader. There initial reaction was "Who is this?" And that's why replacing the actor made no sense.
@@thinkhector Sebastian Shaw is the one who made no sense. Bro didn't have a single organic limb remaining when he was still alive, so why he be looking like Mr. Rogers as a force ghost?
@@Da1337Man Using your logic Obi-Wan should appear as chopped in half. However, let's look at the WHOLE picture. We have Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, and Obi-Wan. Yoda and Obi-Wan don't appear as their younger selves, so tell me why does Anakin Skywalker? It's called being inconsistent.
Funny how that goes. I was the most Star Wars obsessed person I knew, read all the novels and played the table top RPG and bought all the video games. And then I was the first person in line for the Episode 1 premiere at midnigght in the Midwast (I started the line at 11AM) AAnd I have never watched that film in it's entirety a 2nd time. It was that bad.
By pointing out how terrifying it must have been to see Vader kneel before the emperor, you make a connection to the reason why Luke is so feared by the remains of the empire after ep VI. Nobody except Luke knows what happened on the death star but to all other people he is the one who destroyed 2 death stars and went into a room with Vader and the emperor and was the only one to come out alive... .
@@gewuerzwiesel123 I thought his mission was to help Han Solo to destroy the shield around the death star. Actually he left his friends and surrenderd to the enemy. Nobody but him really knew what was going on inside the death star. So how do you know he was considered a hero after the fall of the second death star? because he said so? Even the emperors guards left the throne room and nobody but the Emperor, Vader and himself was there.
@@MasteRgamer-mk5bp you`re right about Luke being a hero. But i`m not realy sure if everybody think he had anything to do with the destruction of the 2nd Death star,
A sad man who murdered billions. And children too--by cutting and stabbing them. He even tried to lead his son down the same path. The fact that Vader felt regret and sorrow shows that he was always just Anakin, not some separate persona. Vader's thoughts, feelings and actions were Anakin's thoughts, feelings and actions. They were one and the same. While Anakin was once a fine Jedi, after a certain point he unquestionably and voluntarily became "that monster."
@@foreighteen7797I also feel the Jedi council besides his two masters had a working hand in his development into taking this path. They pushed against him & forced him further away from being human & they hated the fact how fast he became so strong yet his training was so late. They offered him now support on the murder of his mother. People talk how Vader killed billions but the Jedi kidnapped 10’s of thousands children & closed a blind eye of those planets in the outer rim when they needed help & support. They have blood on their hands just as much as the empire. At least the empire own it. Jedi play make believe.
Just broken old man who lost himself over the death of his wife. He threw it all away and became the weapon, fully, that the Jedi used him as in one moment and shamed him for in the next. He had nothing left but darkness in him after all that he loved was destroyed at the edge of his own saber, except for Luke, who was the only one that felt the truth. He called the bluff with absolute faith, and he was right. 😢❤
I was 6 years old when Star Wars came out...and it never gets old to watch new generations of watchers to scream, shout and gasp at the twists and turns of this story. I can't wait to see your reactions to the prequels...which took almost 20 years to come out after Return of the Jedi...to see another story of how...no spoilers! You also are going to have to watch The Mandalorian since jet packs caught your eye. The Star Wars Universe is vast and endless. The animation series of The Clone Wars (a must see), Rebels, The Bad Batch...Rogue One stand alone...amazing movie! Yall better get busy and start watching!
I have to hand it to David Prowse there. His body language in coordination with the voice of James Earl Jones does so much work, and even when he’s not speaking, you can get a good read on him.
Tell that to the people behind the Halo tv show. Whoever decided Chief was going to take his helmet off should be banned from working in the entertainment industry forever.
@@0okamino I'd mostly give credit to Lucas' genius writing (3 films of build-up, don't forget) and great editing. But, the music, voice acting, and body actor also play key roles. The emotion we see is mostly from the viewer and prior knowledge. Ash was uncertain, for example. His large eyes on the mask help, as well. Depending on the context, those large, eyeless eyes can convey fury, emptiness, sadness, or love. An old Soviet test from about 1925 proved that it's all editing and viewer imprinting. They showed different viewers the same image, and intercut it with different objects. This gave the viewers a completely different sense of the image (man smiling), despite the fact his expression was the same, and did not innately convey any of the meanings (love, sorrow, and sadness, if I can recall). It's funny that editing was born from state propaganda in the Soviet Union and then perfected by the Nazis a decade later, only to be truly gifted to the world by Disney and others a few years after that (not that genius film-making had not existed). It has been suggested that Lucas borrowed lots of images/set design, etc. from the Nazis, actually. Not sure if this was intentional or not, as one famous image shows a likeness for the Jedi, not the Sith. I'd be interested, either way. Could have been subconscious or just good design since it wasn't identical.
"There's another skywalker!" --- "we gotta go find 'em then!" LOL don't know why but that part made me laugh so hard. best reactors on the platform for sure! can re-watch films with you for days
Im 50 years old now. You guys got me tears in my eyes with your reactions of ep 4,5,6.... the star wars unnivers isnt dead and has a long way to go. Im amazed how your generation is as captivated as we were when Star Wars came out. Can't wait for your next reaction of ep 1, 2 , and 3.... MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.... ALWAYS
The red ones are the Emperor's Imperial Guards ... high level bodyguards, ... they're afraid of nobody and serve the Emperor only, even Darth Vader dislikes them because they're among the few in the Star Wars universe who don't fear, respect or obey him
I like how they first saw Hayden Christiansen as Anakin like: "whos this guy?" Then, after they watch the prequels, they will know who he is and come to a realization who he'll become
The fat guy who was crying after the Rancor's death was trainer, stepfather and only friend of the creature. He also took care of its wounds after fights in that pit under the throne. He was allowed to leave Jabba's palace from time to time with the Rancor and used to ride on its back through the desert. He was crushed by the death of his "pet", because he already had made plans to flee and leave the planet with his friend.
People always seem to confuse Leia's words "somehow... I always knew." to mean that she knew they were brother and sister when she kissed him in episode v. Not at all, she simply means that she felt a connection to him that she could not explain. The kiss in episode v was to make Han jealous, not some incestuous thing. She didn't know at the time that they were brother and sister.
The whole confusion could have been avoided if they hadn't retconned them into being siblings in the first place, or if literally any part of this saga was competently written by someone with more emotional intelligence than a third grader.
I never understood how people misinterpret Leia saying "somehow I've always known" to Luke after her being told she's his sister. When I was a younger kid, I always knew that she meant it in a metaphorical way meaning that they had a strange connection that she never really thought could be
Yeah, it's a good thing that Hannah was here for all the movies. I don't think I could watch these without her stopping Ash. He's playing his character, and she's bringing him back down to earth. She was right, Ash was so negative sometimes, he needed to stop. She remembered things, she brought so much good stuff to this reaction. If it was just Ash, I would've stopped watching so long ago
George Lucas always wanted to do prequels as well, but he felt that the technology in the 70s just wasn't advanced enough for what he wanted of the prequels, so he waited 20 years to do them, and his company actually pioneered much of the modern film tech that we see today for the prequels.
@@thinkhectorSome of the effects look dated now, obviously. But what they lay the groundwork for, what we see in movies to this day. If Lucas didn't advance in visual effects with eps1-3, movies now would look much differently. Plus EP3 still holds up now visually. Even the most stunning movies will look dated in time. The movie with the Greatest CGI ever (Avatar 2) will look awful in 20 years too.
@@GreenFalcon926 This not the case though, and full disclosure, I almost always use this movie to debunk that idea. But if you watch "Star Ship Troopers" it holds up better than the Star Wars pre-quels, and was made BEFORE them. You also have films like "Terminator," and "Terminator 2" which hold up EXTREMELY well. The problem with the prequels of the overuse of CGI. While a lot of other films mixed CGI with practical effects and look much better. Even the original "Star Wars" holds up better than the prequels.
Just like how back in the 70's he even asked mark hamill if he would like to play luke again around the year 2012 when obviously he sold the company before he could do that
In the summer of 1983, when I was 6 years old, my Dad’s union went on strike. One day he took me to see RotJ. And I loved every minute of it. He bought me a pitcher of Pepsi. It was probably the last time he was in an actual movie theater. (By then you couldn’t smoke or drink in them. And my family preferred drive-ins) It was the only movie we ever saw together. It is one of my happiest memories. For that reason, Return of the Jedi will always be my favorite movie. Empire is the best. But Jedi is my favorite.
Leia shows that she is sensitive to force at the end of episode 5, when Luke falls down under the Cloud city. He desperately calls Leia for help and she felt it and she navigate Chewie exactly at the place where Luke was holding
As for why Leia kissed Luke if she always knew he was her brother... real explanation is they weren't written as siblings yet. Lucas had planned on a sibling but decided that it would be Leia after Empire. I know this based on the preludes to the novelizations of these books where they say while writing the script, they were still deciding on who Leia would end up with In universe, there's never been an official explanation, but a fan came up with one. He theorized that Luke and Leia felt a Force connection. But they misinterpreted it as attraction. Then when Leia kissed him, they felt something was wrong and didn't pursue it further. So when Leia says she's always known, she's always felt something. She just couldn't put a name to it until Luke told her
A lot of people didn't like Anakin Skywalker's force ghost being his young self, but when you think of the two trilogies as one total product, it makes a lot of sense. That's how Anakin sees himself, before he became Darth Vader. Also, it's crazy to think that this was Ian Mcdiarmid's first performance as Emperor Palpatine and that a decade or so after this movie was filmed, he was brought back to portray a younger Palpatine in the prequels. Say what you will about how evil the character is, but the man portraying him is absolutely delightful!
I'm always bewildered when people watch the prequels, don't recognize Ian McDiarmid, and don't know that Palpatine is evil. His voice and profile are exactly the same!
Hard disagree. Anakin is redeemed by the end so it makes no sense for his ghost to be young. The ghosts are only something Luke can see & are essentially formed by Luke's memory of them. He never saw Anakin when he was young. Plus every single 1st time viewer gets confused when they see it. Never a good idea to introduce that to your audience 10 seconds before the end of your triumphant trilogy.
Basically, people who grew up with the prequels prefer young Anakin's force ghost as that is what they grew up with. Older fans prefer Older Anakin's force ghost because they grew up on the originals and Older Anakin at the end was the first glimpse they got of him as "normal".
She didn’t know she was his sister. “Somehow, I’ve always known.” She was saying she’s always known they had a strong connection like brother and sister. Luke telling her that made it all make sense.
@@ct6852 I mean there is scientific evidence that if you met your long lost sister without knowing she was, you might be attracted to her. That would be horrible if that actually happened but feelings are confusing.
@@SdMbL1 Yeah, on Big Brother about 20 years back when they casted siblings that didn't know they were related they made sure they were both already married so that would be less likely to happen.
DON"T FORGET: Leia DID show a bit of the force when she was able to hear Luke reaching out to her for help hanging from the cloud city in Empire Strikes Back. and.... THIS was the first trilogy series of movies.
I don't know why but I've got a feeling that the reason why villains who go through a redemption gives hope for us all that we can change who we are doesn't matter how late we are. Zuko is one of if not the most beloved character from Avatar, Darth Vader also one of the most beloved character. I think they just resonate life, we make mistakes in life, and maybe we've gone through the wrong paths for much of our lives but they show by example it's never too late and I love that.
What`s amaze me is that there are people like yourself that still thinks these type of videos are real. These guys making this videos "discovering" these films are nothing but a bull s..hiters. They only do this to have more fans in their web communities. Of course they have seen all these films!
Basically, the green lightsaber symbolises "we had big trouble to animate the blad with a blue sky in the background. So we changed the color for technical reasons" ;) When it comes to color. Lucas never thought about a meaning beyond red=evil, blue=good. They changed to green for technical reason and sam jackson got a purple one because he asked for it. But then came the game knights of the old republic and gave their classes a color. Warrior=blue Mage=green A bit of both=yellow And that clicked with fans so much that they retroactively gave meaning to all the colors and now it became common knowledge that it was always like that, even as a matter of fact it was never canon to begin with.
There are some modern fans that I've argued with that struggle to understand certain things were retroactive in the development of the Star Wars Universe.
I a firmly convinced that as phenomenal a twist as Empire was, it would not be as beloved if the trilogy did not stick the landing. It is phenomenal that with a few body/voice acting choices and some visual storytelling, Darth Vader goes from the boogeyman of the story to the one we are crying over at his funeral. On the note about the prequels after this trilogy, while you are correct that you will know who lives and won't be worried about them, Lucas plays a major trick with those movies. When you're watching them, and you know what is to come, it's like watching a mass casualty event that you know is coming and you can't do anything to stop it. You're just seeing all the little moments that you know lead to the same outcome. It fills you with an immense sense of dread and helplessness. I actually use the finale of Clone Wars as a great example of this without giving anything away. The closer you get to what you know is about to happen, the stronger the sense of foreboding. The darker the hints get. The more drastic you scream at the screen wishing you could tell the characters not to go down this path. Lucas knew how to use the audience's knowledge of the original trilogy to make you feel like you were the only one who could do anything to stop what is to come, and yet no one will listen
Darth Vader needed the suit to live (you will understand it more with the prequels), and without the suit only his rage and anger could keep him alive. When he came back to the light, with the suit circuits broken by dark force lightnings, there wasn´t chance to survive.
Jaba's little rat guy is Salacious Crumb - first of all, banger name - and basically the physical manifestation of Ash's unhinged cackles. I couldn't tell which scene was the film and which was the reaction when they were both in the video. They need to do a collab - lol
06:44 - Just finished watching your Ep. 1 reaction, and I had to go back to this part because your delight at that creature is truly a magical thing. :D
The best part of Vader's return to the light is that he is one of less than a handful of fallen Jedi who were able to be brought back from the dark side (until the endless extended universe lol) and Luke is one of less than a handful of Jedi able to save and absolve someone from the dark side.
I mean Darth Vader really didnt do any specific training that we know of to become a force ghost. Maybe he was just that powerful in the force but we never know. The books might dive into that but thats really meh. Yes Yoda did train Obi-Wan to talk to Qui-Gon jinn but maybe the Emperor did train Darth Vader to be a Sith ghost if he died but i highly doubt it since the Emperor was so keen on replacing Darth Vader for Luke.
@@alexbeardsley751 Ehhh, if you go by the extended lore and events of episode 1.. Then it makes sense.. Anakin was "created by the force".. except he wasn't.. but he was? It gets blurry..
When Leia said she always knew, she meant that she had always known there was a connection between her and Luke but didn't know what it was until that moment. The amount of people who don't get this is mindblowing to me.
I actually think that symbolism of Luke dressed in black but using a green lightsaber as a metaphor for accepting and coming to peace with the dark side in his lineage is really good and something I had never thought of before.
That was Anakin's doing. He had been fighting back the entire time. Anakin influenced the Emperor into believing Vader was 100% his. Anakin also influenced the Emperor to try to sway Luke and believe it was his idea the whole time.
Palpatine's overconfidence was his undoing. No Sith had ever gone back to the Good Side. Even Yoda and Obi-Wan didn't think it was possible. Palpatine was sure that Anakin would never turn back, so he went ahead with his plan to seduce Luke and have him become his new apprentice.
@@dunringill1747 ..... Palpatine was plotting to seduce Luke the entire time. Palpatine and Vader were plotting against each other the entire time. The Sith Rule of Two: The Sith Master always seeks to upgrade his Apprentice, and the Apprentice always seeks to usurp his Master.
@@Stogie2112 The full Sith rules were not developed at the time of movie release in 1983. This includes the Sith Rule of Two. The Emperor did state he wanted Luke destroyed early on, then changed his mind after Darth Vader suggested turning Luke to the dark side to make him a "powerful ally".
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. Carrie Fisher said in her biography that the most satisfying part in her Star Wars experience was choking out Jabba. 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 the last episode. 11. IMVHO this is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After the first six he sold it to Disney, and everything changed. Sadly
Vader read Luke's mind. He didn't feel it through Luke. The Jedi are actually Jedi Knights. The Sith are Sith Lords. The audience didn't know Luke and Leia are brother and sister and the actors, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher didn't know, but George Lucas did. The audience had to wait 3 years to find out. With _The Empire Strikes Back_ Lucas wanted to keep people guessing who Leia would end up with. Actually, it was neither Luke nor Han, because Han was already married when they met, although only die hard fans know about that.
The two of you reacting to Hayden Christensen was priceless😂😂😂. You'll get loads more of him in the prequels plus Yoda kicking ass. Can't wait for you to react to those. Great job as always!
@@darth.dominus.the.savage I’m not 100% sure, but I think they’ve already seen it and posted it on their Patreon. I could be wrong, but that’s where they post it first and that’s what people usually do.
Ash laughing at the same time as the little rat guy looked the exact same 😂😂😂 the Ewoks are amazing, and Hannah should definitely get one! Anakin's story is one of the best 👌🏽 I'm looking forward to the next trilogy for you.
Love this movie SO MUCH!!! My dad and I used to sit and watch this on VHS when I was a toddler (yeah, I’m that old). Sadly, he died a little more than a year ago and I’ll be honest, that final scene with Luke and Anakin (the unmasking) is hard for me to watch now. But I think that speaks to how profound the symbolisms of this series are that they mirror our real experiences as powerfully as they do. Thanks for the great OT reactions, you too! Thanks to Ian McDiarmid for giving us the best movie villain ever. And thanks for everything, dad. All my love. May the Force be with you, always…
Princess Leia channeled the Force in _The Empire Strikes Back_ when she was able to read Luke's mind and she flew the Millennium Falcon towards Bespin to rescue Luke. George Lucas said there were clues in _The Empire Strikes Back_ who the other one was that Yoda spoke about and that was one of the clues. Harrison Ford wanted Han Solo to be killed off, but he said George Lucas is a sucker for happy endings.
I understand the disappointment, but it was the only way Harrison Ford was coming back. He gave multiple interviews where he said that the only way he plays Han Solo again would be if Han dies.
42:45 In the original version there is different actor as Anakin force ghost. The same that's playing him without the mask. Also when Darth throw Palpatine into the reactor there is no stupid NOOOO but he is silent the whole time which makes the scene even more powerful.
The ewoks (not to be confused with wookies*) are nicknamed "murder bears" because they killed a large army of stormtroopers, were ready to cook and eat Han and Luke and they play music on their victims decapitated heads. They're adorable because Warwick Davis (actor, little person and only 12 at the time) was in that first Ewok costume when "Wickett" found Leia. He went on to star in Willow and The Leprecaun films, plays Professor Filius Fitwick and Griphook in the Harry Potter films and appears as Wickett and other roles (mostly cameos) in Star Wars films, projects and functions (hosting panels for SW Celebration). He's probably the franchise's best goodwill ambassador. * originally supposed to be wookies, it was decided that Chewie piloting the Falcon meant his race was too advanced to be the primitives they're supposed to be for this film - so they went smaller and moved the "E" from the back to the front of the name.
In terms of outstanding practical special effects yes, but in terms of politics, the structure of the universe, the choreography of battles, graphics, the prequels have fixed giving the ground that this is not a stupid confrontation between the Rebels and the Empire...Absolutely not
All Palpatine had to do was just shut up and let Luke finish him. His talk snapped him back to reality. When he refused, Luke had the biggest set of cojones in the galaxy.
HAHAHAHA! You guys cheering for Anakin turning back and Ash taking his shirt off like his favorite football team just won the big game was awesome! It was this moment, where Darth turned back to Anakin and killed the Emperor that he fulfilled the prophecy that he would return balance to the force. By killing the evil Darth Sidious he restored the force to a time of peace. The way the Sith work is that there are always only two: a master and his apprentice. So, with both dead, there are no more. The Sith work like this: Only 2, with the master always looking to find a more powerful apprentice and trying to gain more and more power, and the apprentice aiming to topple his master and become the master. It's a pure power play on the dark side.
Just a little trivia, Carrie Fisher complained to George Lucas about wearing "drapes" in the first two films, so he got her back by making her wear the slave outfit. In interviews, Carrie Fisher has been quoted as saying, "Oh yeah, Boba Fett could see all the way down to the valley" or something very similar, because she really WAS going 'commando' during the slave outfit scenes. 😮😁😉🤭🤣
"It was like steel, not steel, but hard plastic, and if you stood behind me you could see straight to Florida. You'll have to ask Boba Fett about that."
Yes brother! The true story of Star wars is the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. The two most popular stories in any given medium, is the story of revenge and the story of redemption. This is why Star wars has stood the test of time, it is a tale of redemption. And we want to believe the people we have can be returned. Vadar represents the dual nature of man. And a reminder of the depths a man can fall to just trying to protect the ones he loves from harm.
I'm really glad you guys enjoyed the original movies! You should TOTALLY watch the prequels and sequels, the sequels have some great moments and the prequels are just fantastic. Great video guys take care!
I had the pleasure of meeting Carrie Fisher at two Star Wars conventions, and she was so nice, funny, friendly and took the time to make me feel at ease since I was so nervous getting to meet Princess Leia in person.
In the original release of the movie, the Skywalker ghost at the end was Darth Vader's character that you saw die, but since the prequels came out, they edited digital and new releases to have Anakin's actor from the new movies.
“Somehow I’ve always known,” is not Leia saying in a literal sense that she’s always known Luke’s her brother, she is not confessing to knowingly being a sibling kisser, what she means in a poetic sense is that she’s always felt a connection between herself and Luke, him explaining that they’re siblings makes her reflect and realise that on some level she’s always known, which _is_ still weird but it’s nowhere near as bad as people like yourselves take it. No one makes jokes at Luke’s expense, it’s always Leia who gets to be the punching bag of literal minded people.
Ash laughing along with the little rat creature was hilarous lmao

The young Darth Vader was added in to that force ghost scene in the end after they finished making episodes 1-3. Before that we had the original Anakin who was an older guy as he was when he died.
I so love this movie and the epic fight at the end, between good and evil, Luke rejecting the dark side in the most heroic style. Pure class.
Theyve ruined it by changing Anakins ghost to the younger version instead of keeping the older Anakin since he died as an old man.
@@mbwoods2001He was less than 50 when he died. I wouldn't call that an old man...

Enough said.

When Leia says "I know. Somehow, I've always known" she is saying she knew on a subconscious level. She knew she felt an instant connection with Luke, but she was not consciously aware that Luke was her twin brother, only that she felt deeply connected to him for reasons she could not explain.
absolutely, and the Force may have something to do with this connection. I understood it that way when I was a child but no reactor I've seen seems to get it (Leia kissed Luke before she or the filmmakers knew he was her brother so everybody just give it a rest)

The Actor Who played Wicket (The Ewok who finds Leia in the woods) is Warwick Davis when he was 12 years old, he later goes on to play Willow at age 17 and Professor Flitwick (Old Charms Teacher and Younger Music/chanting Teacher in later HP movies, both are the same character) in the Harry Potter Movies plus Two Goblins from the Gringots Wizarding Bank. over the years he has played various characters in Star Wars movies in the background
He was also the Guardian of the Bridge in Merlin. Willow is a classic and was my favourite Warwick Davis/Val Kilmer film.
and Leprechaun in the Leprechaun movies :D
Warwick also plays evil Leprechaun too. Warwick also runs a talent agency with his father-in-law for little people entertainers. Agency is Willow Management.
@@MrTech226 I bet they hated when Peter Dinklage told Disney to get rid of the actors for Snow White.
wow he was only 17 in willow? he did well
"He's beautiful!" Most hilarious reaction to Hayden in ROTJ ever!
It's interesting because most of us *hated* seeing Hayden Christensen in this film.
What's interesting is that they never saw the original actor that appeared at the end.
So, like most of us conjectured , it was confusing to see Hayden as a young Darth Vader. There initial reaction was "Who is this?" And that's why replacing the actor made no sense.
@@thinkhector Sebastian Shaw is the one who made no sense. Bro didn't have a single organic limb remaining when he was still alive, so why he be looking like Mr. Rogers as a force ghost?
@@Da1337ManIt’s showing Anakin as he would be, he’s renewed as Anakin.
Wait until he opens his mouth.
@@Da1337Man Using your logic Obi-Wan should appear as chopped in half.
However, let's look at the WHOLE picture. We have Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, and Obi-Wan. Yoda and Obi-Wan don't appear as their younger selves, so tell me why does Anakin Skywalker? It's called being inconsistent.
I love how Ash and Hannah's reaction to the Ewoks is a perfect representation of how both sides of the audience reacted to them 😂
Yep 100%. I remember being in the theater and was WTF? My gf at the time reacted the same way Hannah did.
I want to upvote you, but its currently 69 and I just can't do it.
I don’t understand why people didn’t like them
@@krispypriest5116 lol
Can’t wait to see the Jar Jar reaction😂
When I went to see this as a kid, the guy in line just in front of us said it was his 37th time seeing it. The fandom is real.
Funny how that goes. I was the most Star Wars obsessed person I knew, read all the novels and played the table top RPG and bought all the video games.
And then I was the first person in line for the Episode 1 premiere at midnigght in the Midwast (I started the line at 11AM)
AAnd I have never watched that film in it's entirety a 2nd time. It was that bad.
@@Harkness78to me, the prequels were just a bad dream when they came out and don't exist anymore 🙃
Fun fact: Ian Mc Diarmid who played Emperor Palatine was only 38 years old at the time of filming. Incredible makeup work.
By pointing out how terrifying it must have been to see Vader kneel before the emperor, you make a connection to the reason why Luke is so feared by the remains of the empire after ep VI. Nobody except Luke knows what happened on the death star but to all other people he is the one who destroyed 2 death stars and went into a room with Vader and the emperor and was the only one to come out alive... .
How do you know everybody think Luke destroyed 2 Death Stars? It was obvious that Wedge Antilles and Lando Carlissian destroyed the second one.
@@jackprescott9652 Okay, let's say he destroyed one himself and was part of the mission to destroy the second one. But the point is still the same.
@@gewuerzwiesel123 I thought his mission was to help Han Solo to destroy the shield around the death star. Actually he left his friends and surrenderd to the enemy. Nobody but him really knew what was going on inside the death star. So how do you know he was considered a hero after the fall of the second death star? because he said so? Even the emperors guards left the throne room and nobody but the Emperor, Vader and himself was there.
@@jackprescott9652why even argue about this we already know Luke is considered a war hero regardless?
@@MasteRgamer-mk5bp you`re right about Luke being a hero. But i`m not realy sure if everybody think he had anything to do with the destruction of the 2nd Death star,
Ash’s love for Salacious Crumb and Hannah’s love for Wicket and the other Ewoks… omg I love it lololol !!
I love when Vader takes his mask off and you see that he never was that monster. He was just a sad man
A sad man who murdered billions. And children too--by cutting and stabbing them. He even tried to lead his son down the same path. The fact that Vader felt regret and sorrow shows that he was always just Anakin, not some separate persona. Vader's thoughts, feelings and actions were Anakin's thoughts, feelings and actions. They were one and the same. While Anakin was once a fine Jedi, after a certain point he unquestionably and voluntarily became "that monster."
This is probably what I loved most about the original trilogy when i first watched em, the way they portrayed him after the mask was taken off.
There are some of the weirdest nonsensical comments in this video comments section.
@@foreighteen7797I also feel the Jedi council besides his two masters had a working hand in his development into taking this path. They pushed against him & forced him further away from being human & they hated the fact how fast he became so strong yet his training was so late. They offered him now support on the murder of his mother. People talk how Vader killed billions but the Jedi kidnapped 10’s of thousands children & closed a blind eye of those planets in the outer rim when they needed help & support. They have blood on their hands just as much as the empire. At least the empire own it. Jedi play make believe.
Just broken old man who lost himself over the death of his wife. He threw it all away and became the weapon, fully, that the Jedi used him as in one moment and shamed him for in the next. He had nothing left but darkness in him after all that he loved was destroyed at the edge of his own saber, except for Luke, who was the only one that felt the truth. He called the bluff with absolute faith, and he was right. 😢❤
I was 6 years old when Star Wars came out...and it never gets old to watch new generations of watchers to scream, shout and gasp at the twists and turns of this story. I can't wait to see your reactions to the prequels...which took almost 20 years to come out after Return of the Jedi...to see another story of how...no spoilers! You also are going to have to watch The Mandalorian since jet packs caught your eye. The Star Wars Universe is vast and endless. The animation series of The Clone Wars (a must see), Rebels, The Bad Batch...Rogue One stand alone...amazing movie! Yall better get busy and start watching!

It's crazy how much emotion you can see in Darth Vader even with a full body face suit.
I have to hand it to David Prowse there. His body language in coordination with the voice of James Earl Jones does so much work, and even when he’s not speaking, you can get a good read on him.
Tell that to the people behind the Halo tv show. Whoever decided Chief was going to take his helmet off should be banned from working in the entertainment industry forever.
@@0okamino I'd mostly give credit to Lucas' genius writing (3 films of build-up, don't forget) and great editing. But, the music, voice acting, and body actor also play key roles.
The emotion we see is mostly from the viewer and prior knowledge. Ash was uncertain, for example. His large eyes on the mask help, as well. Depending on the context, those large, eyeless eyes can convey fury, emptiness, sadness, or love.
An old Soviet test from about 1925 proved that it's all editing and viewer imprinting. They showed different viewers the same image, and intercut it with different objects. This gave the viewers a completely different sense of the image (man smiling), despite the fact his expression was the same, and did not innately convey any of the meanings (love, sorrow, and sadness, if I can recall).
It's funny that editing was born from state propaganda in the Soviet Union and then perfected by the Nazis a decade later, only to be truly gifted to the world by Disney and others a few years after that (not that genius film-making had not existed). It has been suggested that Lucas borrowed lots of images/set design, etc. from the Nazis, actually. Not sure if this was intentional or not, as one famous image shows a likeness for the Jedi, not the Sith. I'd be interested, either way. Could have been subconscious or just good design since it wasn't identical.
And then Lucas just had to ruin the best body acting emotion of the entire movie with “No….NOOOO!”
I know I swear you could see the mask change for a second. Too bad David Prowse ended up having so much beef toward George Lucas.
No matter how many times I hear Darth Vader asking to look at Luke with his own eyes, it always gives me goosebumps, this whole scene is wonderful.
I shed a tear every time! Haha! And the line where Vader says "You already have..." after Luke says he wanted to save him.
You guys watch the prequel s.
Was just thinking the same
Little known fact, Darth Vader was a huge fan of R L Stine.
For me it's "I've got to save you." ...."you already have Luke"
"That looks like a harmonica!"
There's a meme that Billy Joel playing the harmonica looks like Darth Vader in this shot
"There's another skywalker!" --- "we gotta go find 'em then!" LOL don't know why but that part made me laugh so hard. best reactors on the platform for sure! can re-watch films with you for days

My two favorite moments on the channel! 😆😂
Hannah recognizing the Rancor Trainer might be spot on. He's Paul Brooke, a British actor who has stared in all manner of movies and tv shows.
The red ones are the Emperor's Imperial Guards ... high level bodyguards, ... they're afraid of nobody and serve the Emperor only, even Darth Vader dislikes them because they're among the few in the Star Wars universe who don't fear, respect or obey him
I like how they first saw Hayden Christiansen as Anakin like: "whos this guy?"
Then, after they watch the prequels, they will know who he is and come to a realization who he'll become
I've advocated them watching the machete viewing order for a more emotional impact, but did they listen? No
@@bratsmovies17 Or Lucas could've just left the originals alone.
Or they'll get mixed up even more w/ Jake Lloyd, and won't remember who plays the character at the end of this movie.
We saw who he'll become lol you mean who he once was?
@@jp3813 nah
The fat guy who was crying after the Rancor's death was trainer, stepfather and only friend of the creature. He also took care of its wounds after fights in that pit under the throne.
He was allowed to leave Jabba's palace from time to time with the Rancor and used to ride on its back through the desert.
He was crushed by the death of his "pet", because he already had made plans to flee and leave the planet with his friend.
So they were really sexual with each other?
@@blackwolf4653 Nope. I guess no human can be "sexual" with a Rancor...
First time would be last time.
The Rancors where like giant rottweilers.
Rancors and their trainers basically have a spiritual bond with each other
So they were sexual with each other?
People always seem to confuse Leia's words "somehow... I always knew." to mean that she knew they were brother and sister when she kissed him in episode v. Not at all, she simply means that she felt a connection to him that she could not explain. The kiss in episode v was to make Han jealous, not some incestuous thing. She didn't know at the time that they were brother and sister.
I agree, they didn't really know.
I always took it as she always knew somehow that she also had a strong relation with the force, that somehow she had such powers.
The whole confusion could have been avoided if they hadn't retconned them into being siblings in the first place, or if literally any part of this saga was competently written by someone with more emotional intelligence than a third grader.
I never understood how people misinterpret Leia saying "somehow I've always known" to Luke after her being told she's his sister. When I was a younger kid, I always knew that she meant it in a metaphorical way meaning that they had a strange connection that she never really thought could be
"So many Halloweens make sense to me now." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, it's a good thing that Hannah was here for all the movies. I don't think I could watch these without her stopping Ash. He's playing his character, and she's bringing him back down to earth. She was right, Ash was so negative sometimes, he needed to stop. She remembered things, she brought so much good stuff to this reaction. If it was just Ash, I would've stopped watching so long ago
Just trust Ash.
George Lucas always wanted to do prequels as well, but he felt that the technology in the 70s just wasn't advanced enough for what he wanted of the prequels, so he waited 20 years to do them, and his company actually pioneered much of the modern film tech that we see today for the prequels.
THANK YOU for this insight. I was just asking this question last night - wondering why they waited so long to do more movies.
It's funny because the original Star Wars holds up while the visual effects in the prequels look like trash compared to what's capable today.
@@thinkhectorSome of the effects look dated now, obviously. But what they lay the groundwork for, what we see in movies to this day. If Lucas didn't advance in visual effects with eps1-3, movies now would look much differently. Plus EP3 still holds up now visually. Even the most stunning movies will look dated in time. The movie with the Greatest CGI ever (Avatar 2) will look awful in 20 years too.
@@GreenFalcon926 This not the case though, and full disclosure, I almost always use this movie to debunk that idea. But if you watch "Star Ship Troopers" it holds up better than the Star Wars pre-quels, and was made BEFORE them.
You also have films like "Terminator," and "Terminator 2" which hold up EXTREMELY well.
The problem with the prequels of the overuse of CGI. While a lot of other films mixed CGI with practical effects and look much better.
Even the original "Star Wars" holds up better than the prequels.
Just like how back in the 70's he even asked mark hamill if he would like to play luke again around the year 2012 when obviously he sold the company before he could do that
That little laughing creature you like so much is named Salacious B. Crumb.
amazing
And the birth of the Hrum but really Crum if ....well, just see some of Arnold's originals.
He is a Kowalkian Monkey Lizard
In the summer of 1983, when I was 6 years old, my Dad’s union went on strike. One day he took me to see RotJ. And I loved every minute of it. He bought me a pitcher of Pepsi. It was probably the last time he was in an actual movie theater. (By then you couldn’t smoke or drink in them. And my family preferred drive-ins) It was the only movie we ever saw together. It is one of my happiest memories. For that reason, Return of the Jedi will always be my favorite movie. Empire is the best. But Jedi is my favorite.
Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie.
Indelible memories are what count, but being subjective and objective is difficult.

I love how Hannah reacted to the "I Love you" "I know" scene
All the ladies can act as shocked as they want when Han says, "I know." But, they all know...instinctively...it's a turn-on.
Leia shows that she is sensitive to force at the end of episode 5, when Luke falls down under the Cloud city. He desperately calls Leia for help and she felt it and she navigate Chewie exactly at the place where Luke was holding
Ash you maniac.. love you guys.. thanks for everything you two have been doing.. such great work
As for why Leia kissed Luke if she always knew he was her brother... real explanation is they weren't written as siblings yet. Lucas had planned on a sibling but decided that it would be Leia after Empire. I know this based on the preludes to the novelizations of these books where they say while writing the script, they were still deciding on who Leia would end up with
In universe, there's never been an official explanation, but a fan came up with one. He theorized that Luke and Leia felt a Force connection. But they misinterpreted it as attraction. Then when Leia kissed him, they felt something was wrong and didn't pursue it further. So when Leia says she's always known, she's always felt something. She just couldn't put a name to it until Luke told her
A lot of people didn't like Anakin Skywalker's force ghost being his young self, but when you think of the two trilogies as one total product, it makes a lot of sense. That's how Anakin sees himself, before he became Darth Vader.
Also, it's crazy to think that this was Ian Mcdiarmid's first performance as Emperor Palpatine and that a decade or so after this movie was filmed, he was brought back to portray a younger Palpatine in the prequels. Say what you will about how evil the character is, but the man portraying him is absolutely delightful!
Yet, you see the confusion it creates with first time viewers.
I'm always bewildered when people watch the prequels, don't recognize Ian McDiarmid, and don't know that Palpatine is evil. His voice and profile are exactly the same!
Hard disagree. Anakin is redeemed by the end so it makes no sense for his ghost to be young. The ghosts are only something Luke can see & are essentially formed by Luke's memory of them. He never saw Anakin when he was young.
Plus every single 1st time viewer gets confused when they see it. Never a good idea to introduce that to your audience 10 seconds before the end of your triumphant trilogy.
Two decades later
Basically, people who grew up with the prequels prefer young Anakin's force ghost as that is what they grew up with. Older fans prefer Older Anakin's force ghost because they grew up on the originals and Older Anakin at the end was the first glimpse they got of him as "normal".
Bib Fortuna in the womb: "Right, I'm not 'avin none of this, I'm out of 'ere"

She didn’t know she was his sister. “Somehow, I’ve always known.” She was saying she’s always known they had a strong connection like brother and sister. Luke telling her that made it all make sense.
Curious if Lucas intended for that and the Vader reveal in Empire the whole time. I'm thinking maybe he didn't. But I don't know.
@@ct6852 I mean there is scientific evidence that if you met your long lost sister without knowing she was, you might be attracted to her. That would be horrible if that actually happened but feelings are confusing.
@@SdMbL1 Yeah, on Big Brother about 20 years back when they casted siblings that didn't know they were related they made sure they were both already married so that would be less likely to happen.
DON"T FORGET: Leia DID show a bit of the force when she was able to hear Luke reaching out to her for help hanging from the cloud city in Empire Strikes Back. and.... THIS was the first trilogy series of movies.
I don't know why but I've got a feeling that the reason why villains who go through a redemption gives hope for us all that we can change who we are doesn't matter how late we are. Zuko is one of if not the most beloved character from Avatar, Darth Vader also one of the most beloved character. I think they just resonate life, we make mistakes in life, and maybe we've gone through the wrong paths for much of our lives but they show by example it's never too late and I love that.
Vader returning to the light side and saving his son always brings tears to my eyes. 💜 😢
and the line "you already saved me" ugh tearjerker
That's just what "The Return Of The Jedi" means: Anakin"s return to the Light (Bright) Side.
True emo' without the " fakery " associated with many of the new films.
It’s crazy how much joy it brings me watching someone discover the magic of Star Wars
Ikr. I'm just wondering HOW THE FUK Ash didn't see this growing up. It had to be something where he was just into stuff totally different.
What`s amaze me is that there are people like yourself that still thinks these type of videos are real. These guys making this videos "discovering" these films are nothing but a bull s..hiters. They only do this to have more fans in their web communities. Of course they have seen all these films!
Basically, the green lightsaber symbolises "we had big trouble to animate the blad with a blue sky in the background. So we changed the color for technical reasons" ;)
When it comes to color.
Lucas never thought about a meaning beyond red=evil, blue=good.
They changed to green for technical reason and sam jackson got a purple one because he asked for it.
But then came the game knights of the old republic and gave their classes a color.
Warrior=blue
Mage=green
A bit of both=yellow
And that clicked with fans so much that they retroactively gave meaning to all the colors and now it became common knowledge that it was always like that, even as a matter of fact it was never canon to begin with.
There are some modern fans that I've argued with that struggle to understand certain things were retroactive in the development of the Star Wars Universe.
The alternate ending that was written had Luke kill Vader and the Emperor. It was going to end with Luke putting on Vader's mask.
I a firmly convinced that as phenomenal a twist as Empire was, it would not be as beloved if the trilogy did not stick the landing. It is phenomenal that with a few body/voice acting choices and some visual storytelling, Darth Vader goes from the boogeyman of the story to the one we are crying over at his funeral.
On the note about the prequels after this trilogy, while you are correct that you will know who lives and won't be worried about them, Lucas plays a major trick with those movies. When you're watching them, and you know what is to come, it's like watching a mass casualty event that you know is coming and you can't do anything to stop it. You're just seeing all the little moments that you know lead to the same outcome. It fills you with an immense sense of dread and helplessness.
I actually use the finale of Clone Wars as a great example of this without giving anything away. The closer you get to what you know is about to happen, the stronger the sense of foreboding. The darker the hints get. The more drastic you scream at the screen wishing you could tell the characters not to go down this path. Lucas knew how to use the audience's knowledge of the original trilogy to make you feel like you were the only one who could do anything to stop what is to come, and yet no one will listen
Ash is right about everything. The choking the fantasies, the symbolism. True Star Wars Fan at heart.
The hot chicks in chains is my favorite part
Darth Vader needed the suit to live (you will understand it more with the prequels), and without the suit only his rage and anger could keep him alive. When he came back to the light, with the suit circuits broken by dark force lightnings, there wasn´t chance to survive.
Jaba's little rat guy is Salacious Crumb - first of all, banger name - and basically the physical manifestation of Ash's unhinged cackles. I couldn't tell which scene was the film and which was the reaction when they were both in the video.
They need to do a collab - lol
15:09 😂 he’s more of a Kowakian monkey 🙉 🦎 and yes, he’s a chuck e cheee mascot.
06:44 - Just finished watching your Ep. 1 reaction, and I had to go back to this part because your delight at that creature is truly a magical thing. :D
The best part of Vader's return to the light is that he is one of less than a handful of fallen Jedi who were able to be brought back from the dark side (until the endless extended universe lol) and Luke is one of less than a handful of Jedi able to save and absolve someone from the dark side.
Return of the Jedi is one of those films that made me cry when I watched it, one scene brought me to tears, when Yoda died... RIP
Ash is either going to love or despise Jar Jar Binks 😂
OMG, I can't wait for that! 😂😂😂
I think hate and Hannah might love him. Idk though 🤣
Ash would love him for three minutes then he will insult him after every word he says 😂😂😂
I don't think he'll hate him, he'll find him irritating, but also stupidly amusing.
Can’t wait for that. It can really go either way 😂
Fun fact: Not every Jedi can become a force ghost, it requires VERY specific training, and not many Jedi know of this training. 💜
I mean Darth Vader really didnt do any specific training that we know of to become a force ghost. Maybe he was just that powerful in the force but we never know. The books might dive into that but thats really meh. Yes Yoda did train Obi-Wan to talk to Qui-Gon jinn but maybe the Emperor did train Darth Vader to be a Sith ghost if he died but i highly doubt it since the Emperor was so keen on replacing Darth Vader for Luke.
@@alexbeardsley751 Yeah, I always understood it that training is required to comune with the dead through force, not to become a force ghost
Syth ghosts aren’t a thing
@@alexbeardsley751 Ehhh, if you go by the extended lore and events of episode 1.. Then it makes sense.. Anakin was "created by the force".. except he wasn't.. but he was? It gets blurry..
@@geneeverett33 yah I was being facetious...
14:27 that guy is Malakili and he has a very sad story and is played by Paul Brooke
When Leia said she always knew, she meant that she had always known there was a connection between her and Luke but didn't know what it was until that moment. The amount of people who don't get this is mindblowing to me.
I actually think that symbolism of Luke dressed in black but using a green lightsaber as a metaphor for accepting and coming to peace with the dark side in his lineage is really good and something I had never thought of before.
16:44-16:50 me too.
The Emperor believed he stomped Anakin Skywalker out of Vader completely, that was his biggest mistake. 💜
That was Anakin's doing. He had been fighting back the entire time. Anakin influenced the Emperor into believing Vader was 100% his. Anakin also influenced the Emperor to try to sway Luke and believe it was his idea the whole time.
not really how dark/light works, in star wars
Palpatine's overconfidence was his undoing. No Sith had ever gone back to the Good Side. Even Yoda and Obi-Wan didn't think it was possible. Palpatine was sure that Anakin would never turn back, so he went ahead with his plan to seduce Luke and have him become his new apprentice.
@@dunringill1747 ..... Palpatine was plotting to seduce Luke the entire time. Palpatine and Vader were plotting against each other the entire time.
The Sith Rule of Two: The Sith Master always seeks to upgrade his Apprentice, and the Apprentice always seeks to usurp his Master.
@@Stogie2112 The full Sith rules were not developed at the time of movie release in 1983. This includes the Sith Rule of Two.
The Emperor did state he wanted Luke destroyed early on, then changed his mind after Darth Vader suggested turning Luke to the dark side to make him a "powerful ally".
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. Carrie Fisher said in her biography that the most satisfying part in her Star Wars experience was choking out Jabba.
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 the last episode.
11. IMVHO this is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After the first six he sold it to Disney, and everything changed. Sadly
Vader read Luke's mind. He didn't feel it through Luke.
The Jedi are actually Jedi Knights. The Sith are Sith Lords.
The audience didn't know Luke and Leia are brother and sister and the actors, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher didn't know, but George Lucas did. The audience had to wait 3 years to find out. With _The Empire Strikes Back_ Lucas wanted to keep people guessing who Leia would end up with. Actually, it was neither Luke nor Han, because Han was already married when they met, although only die hard fans know about that.
George didn’t know until he wrote this film. It wasn’t pre planned
See.. I didn't mind episode 7, didn't see the problem.. 8 was ok because of Luke, loved all his scenes.. but 9? Absolute crapfest.
@@mattgarrett2583 What' wrong with 9?
Luke realized Leia was his sister when he was talking to Obi-Wan on Dagobah. He absolutely knew before Vader brought it up.

Ash laughing at the same time as the little rat guy looked the exact same 😂😂😂 the Ewoks are amazing, and Hannah should definitely get one! Anakin's story is one of the best 👌🏽 I'm looking forward to the next trilogy for you.
Love this movie SO MUCH!!! My dad and I used to sit and watch this on VHS when I was a toddler (yeah, I’m that old). Sadly, he died a little more than a year ago and I’ll be honest, that final scene with Luke and Anakin (the unmasking) is hard for me to watch now. But I think that speaks to how profound the symbolisms of this series are that they mirror our real experiences as powerfully as they do.
Thanks for the great OT reactions, you too!
Thanks to Ian McDiarmid for giving us the best movie villain ever.
And thanks for everything, dad. All my love. May the Force be with you, always…
"You absolutely have to find out if they sell toy versions of this."
Hannah, it's Star Wars. There are toy versions of EVERYTHING! :)
« That’s must be Darth ! Mm….mm…. » tongue moving
Princess Leia channeled the Force in _The Empire Strikes Back_ when she was able to read Luke's mind and she flew the Millennium Falcon towards Bespin to rescue Luke. George Lucas said there were clues in _The Empire Strikes Back_ who the other one was that Yoda spoke about and that was one of the clues.
Harrison Ford wanted Han Solo to be killed off, but he said George Lucas is a sucker for happy endings.
What happened to him later was a huge disappointment.
I understand the disappointment, but it was the only way Harrison Ford was coming back. He gave multiple interviews where he said that the only way he plays Han Solo again would be if Han dies.
@@h2ohydrox And then Harrison Ford regretted saying it.
Salacious Crumb being the unintentional fan favorite was unexpected. lol

In the original version there is different actor as Anakin force ghost. The same that's playing him without the mask.
Also when Darth throw Palpatine into the reactor there is no stupid NOOOO but he is silent the whole time which makes the scene even more powerful.
leia showed the force when she felt like calling to her at the end of ep v. they turned around and found luke
You two are going to love episode 3. I cant wait.
The ewoks (not to be confused with wookies*) are nicknamed "murder bears" because they killed a large army of stormtroopers, were ready to cook and eat Han and Luke and they play music on their victims decapitated heads.
They're adorable because Warwick Davis (actor, little person and only 12 at the time) was in that first Ewok costume when "Wickett" found Leia. He went on to star in Willow and The Leprecaun films, plays Professor Filius Fitwick and Griphook in the Harry Potter films and appears as Wickett and other roles (mostly cameos) in Star Wars films, projects and functions (hosting panels for SW Celebration). He's probably the franchise's best goodwill ambassador.
* originally supposed to be wookies, it was decided that Chewie piloting the Falcon meant his race was too advanced to be the primitives they're supposed to be for this film - so they went smaller and moved the "E" from the back to the front of the name.
They definitely ate the stormtroopers they killed, at the celebration.
The end to one of the greatest trilogies ever, nothing will ever beat the OG trilogy.
In terms of outstanding practical special effects yes, but in terms of politics, the structure of the universe, the choreography of battles, graphics, the prequels have fixed giving the ground that this is not a stupid confrontation between the Rebels and the Empire...Absolutely not
Writing-wise it's pretty mediocre, we gotta admit that.
This Jar jar syndrome ruined a great story for many. Not for me. The prequels are good.
@@ВалентинЖданов-р9е All the prequels ever did was ruin Jake Lloyd's life and push Ahmed Best into contemplating suicide.
@@ВалентинЖданов-р9е Yeah, because everyone went to see Star Wars for boring politics!
Hannah would probably faint if she saw how cute Baby Yoda is 😅
Next on Just Trust Hannah, "The Mandalorian, Episode 1"
@@TedBroganlmao let them get through the other movies first
🤮
@@Flog1077 Yeah dude we get it. You hate Star Wars.. Just let other people enjoy what they like 👍
@@salmonero6472 🤢🤮
Ash had me crying "give it some kibble!"😭😂
All Palpatine had to do was just shut up and let Luke finish him. His talk snapped him back to reality. When he refused, Luke had the biggest set of cojones in the galaxy.
HAHAHAHA! You guys cheering for Anakin turning back and Ash taking his shirt off like his favorite football team just won the big game was awesome! It was this moment, where Darth turned back to Anakin and killed the Emperor that he fulfilled the prophecy that he would return balance to the force. By killing the evil Darth Sidious he restored the force to a time of peace. The way the Sith work is that there are always only two: a master and his apprentice. So, with both dead, there are no more. The Sith work like this: Only 2, with the master always looking to find a more powerful apprentice and trying to gain more and more power, and the apprentice aiming to topple his master and become the master. It's a pure power play on the dark side.
It actually was a harmonica. In his younger days, Vader used to jam with jabba the hutt's jazz band
Just a little trivia, Carrie Fisher complained to George Lucas about wearing "drapes" in the first two films, so he got her back by making her wear the slave outfit. In interviews, Carrie Fisher has been quoted as saying, "Oh yeah, Boba Fett could see all the way down to the valley" or something very similar, because she really WAS going 'commando' during the slave outfit scenes. 😮😁😉🤭🤣
Damn. Some bounty hunters get all the luck.
@@0okamino no kidding!
"It was like steel, not steel, but hard plastic, and if you stood behind me you could see straight to Florida. You'll have to ask Boba Fett about that."
Man. RIP Carrie, but DAMN that is hot.
@@jasonseipler2665 thanks for her quote.
Yes brother! The true story of Star wars is the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker.
The two most popular stories in any given medium, is the story of revenge and the story of redemption.
This is why Star wars has stood the test of time, it is a tale of redemption. And we want to believe the people we have can be returned.
Vadar represents the dual nature of man. And a reminder of the depths a man can fall to just trying to protect the ones he loves from harm.
I'm really glad you guys enjoyed the original movies! You should TOTALLY watch the prequels and sequels, the sequels have some great moments and the prequels are just fantastic. Great video guys take care!
Jaba’s Pet Salacious Crumb is a real G
I had the pleasure of meeting Carrie Fisher at two Star Wars conventions, and she was so nice, funny, friendly and took the time to make me feel at ease since I was so nervous getting to meet Princess Leia in person.
The Ewok’s name is Wicket. And yes they sell a Wicket plushie, I have the Christmas version with candy cane staff, and he is extremely snuggleable!!
In the original release of the movie, the Skywalker ghost at the end was Darth Vader's character that you saw die, but since the prequels came out, they edited digital and new releases to have Anakin's actor from the new movies.
The most underrated of the Original Trilogy ngl
“Somehow I’ve always known,” is not Leia saying in a literal sense that she’s always known Luke’s her brother, she is not confessing to knowingly being a sibling kisser, what she means in a poetic sense is that she’s always felt a connection between herself and Luke, him explaining that they’re siblings makes her reflect and realise that on some level she’s always known, which _is_ still weird but it’s nowhere near as bad as people like yourselves take it.
No one makes jokes at Luke’s expense, it’s always Leia who gets to be the punching bag of literal minded people.
