You are one of the only reactors I've seen who actually acknowledges Wedge as a supporting character. Impressive. Most impressive.
It's because she watched chronologically, and the Rebels series gives him a proper introduction as an important supporting character and early recruit into the rebellion.
wedge antillis is an awesome pilot and leader. he's an important person for the alliance.
Wedge is the *only* Rebel who could paint two Death Star kills on his fighter. So far as we know, anyway, there was a Y-Wing pilot who retreated from the first DS with Luke, Wedge, and the Falcon. The Falcon took part in both battles, but with different flight crews.
Wedge also flies as Rogue Two under Luke's command, and in Legends, takes command of Rogue Squadron when Luke steps down for Jedi stuff.
Yub yub, commander
@@Progger11 lol the books does as well which most came out way before that show. and has way more information and detail. people pick up a book they may learn a thing or two. the books is also where thrawn originally comes from.
Dont watch Ahsoka next. It contains a spoiler for the 3rd season of The Mandalorian. The chronological order for those shows is Mandalorian s1, Mando s2, then The Book of Boba Fett, then Mando s3, and finally Ahsoka.
Just don't watch it at all, it's crap writing and full of mistakes
When Han says "Ok fine, when Luke gets back I won't get in the way." You can see the gears turning in his head as he's probably thinking "I'm not giving up."
That was also the same Ian McDiarmid who played Palpatine in the prequels. Ian was in his late 30's when George Lucas casted him for the part of the Emperor for Return of the Jedi. So by the time the prequels came along, he was in his 50's which as both Ian and George said he was the perfect age for the part.
Yep.
As much as Ian Ambercrombie(RIP) was amazing in CW, this Ian IS our emperor. Pretty sure he's had the most screen time and his cackle is ICONIC after 30 years
I'm 51. Star Wars was the first movie I saw in the theater. So I'm one of those super attached to a lifetime of feelings about Star Wars guys. Having said that, I TOTALLY appreciate and get the emotional journey this must be watching in timeline order. The Anakin arc hits really different than the Luke arc. It's been fun watching along with you. And I look forward to more as you progress from here!
IT'S HERE!! I'M SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY!
Don't worry about it Tara, you're always worth the wait 😊
You don’t need to apologize, I’m just excited to see your reaction!! Getting closer and closer to the Ahsoka reaction.. ❤️ it’ll be good to watch it again, after just finishing it.
@@PeterDavid7KQ201Smooth yet no lies detected.
Watching this journey with you, I have found myself getting as emotional as you. I anticipate some scenes and your reaction is very much as I have come to expect. Just a piece of trivia for you, the older trooper with the beard has been confirmed as "Captain Rex" although I believe it's a retcon, since "Rex" wasn't thought of when the movie came out. But I believe that when Feloni made him in Rebels he designed his aging with the white beard to match to claim he was on Endor. I thought you'd appreciate this tidbit
We all understand how tricky Darth UA-cam can be
_"How can he do that with his hands?"_
Force lightning. A specialty of the Sith.

Not sure the time stamp was necessary, as I am sure Tara will remember what her own words were in reference to, as does my answer.... but okay. Can't hurt.
which he did in ep 3, against mace windu surprised she forgot
@@da-vidcargill4975
That's right! Good call. Hell I even forgot about that, haha.
Some time ago, Adam Savage announced on his YT channel he was going to build a replica of the prop used for a "Thermal Detonator".
Apparently the ATF and FBI don't know this movie at all, and didn't bother to check what a TD is, because they conducted a full on raid, and Savage had to explain it was a movie prop, not an actual thing that goes boom.
As a Trekkie, I only knew Wedge as a Blitzball forward in Final Fantasy X. Only later did I learn Biggs & Wedge where a reference.
30:00 Luke almost turned to the Darkside to protect Leia. Note, that it wasn’t Luke’s triumphant musical theme playing during the final lightsaber battle, it was the Emperor’s. If he’d killed Vader, he’d be the new apprentice and Palps would have gotten the enforcer he always wanted.
I highly recommend you watch the original version of Vader turning back to the good. He doesn't say " noooooo". With the camera work alone you see his thoughts and the result is far more powerful
The no is starting to grow on me ... but out of all the changes ... I like the others ... this not so much
One of the BEST reactions of ep 6 ive ever seen and it was cause you watched it in the order you did. RotJ is my personal favorite and it hits so much deeper when you realize that the jedi who returned was Anakin. We need that Patreon for those full length reactions!
I’m not sure if you’ve already seen them but before watching Ahsoka you have to watch the mandalorian and the book of boba fett as they take place before Ahsoka (:
If you were to do it, it goes like this
Mandalorian season 1
Mandalorian season 2
Book of boba fett
Mandalorian season 3
Ahsoka
Loved this reaction by the way! 😁
Fun fact. The actor that plays the emperor plays him in this movie as an older emperor (when the actor was younger) and plays the same younger character in the prequels (when the actor was older). One of my favorite characters and actors in Star Wars.
Ahsoka's show is part of the "Mandoverse", so it takes place after the current shows as part of their ongoing story. But it is also written as a sequel to Rebels while being safely standalone from the other shows, so you can go at it from either way.
-Mandalorian Season 1 and 2
-Book of Boba Fett
-Mandalorian Season 3
-Ahsoka
this is the way
You definitely need to watch Mando season 1-2, then Boba Fett and then Ahsoka! Trust it will play out better
If you're doing a "in order based on the timeline", you do:
The Mandalorian Season 1
The Mandalorian Season 2
The Book of Boba Fett
The Mandalorian Season 3
Ahsoka
The events of Ahsoka make more sense once you see the other seasons of the other shows first.
Don’t forget rebels before ahsoka tho, ahsoka is basically rebels season 5 XD
@@SkylineBilip she's watched Rebels ...
@@SkylineBilipshe watched clone wars and rebels.
then if skeleton crew dont come out yet, u can do Starwars resistance
Yep, all of those will slowly kill your love for Star Wars!
Many theorize that when Leia says "I know ... I've always known" she's referring to being Force sensitive not that she's known being Luke's sister. Enjoyed this journey with you Tara 💖
Interesting but I think she is focused on the discovery of her twin brother. But it isn't literal.
She's always known she was connected to someone out there? She's known she felt close to Luke since they first met but didn't know why? Didn't know how to deal with it?
Many possibilities. The literal interpretation is the least likely. She hasn't always known Luke was her long-lost fraternal twin. I've never thought she was being literal there, even as a kid.
@@mattp6089 it's a theory... Many when watching and hearing her say that think "then if you knew why did you kiss him and not just once?" Of course we all know that initially GL did not intend for them to be siblings. 😉
@@mattp6089 My head canon is that she always felt that there was some sort of connection between her and Luke, but just misinterpreted it early on.
@@xenialafleur Mine too.
@@xenialafleur Exactly - why can't a lot of people see this?
The Ewok who found Leia was Wicket, played by a Warwick Davis, who played Willow and later Thrawn’s bounty hunter, Ruhk in Rebels.
As others said, you should probably wait on Ahsoka until after going through Mandalorian.
35:50 this is what I’m saying! No matter how you watch Star Wars, you’re gonna love it. Star Wars is great not because of the order we see it in. It’s great because of how much we connect with the characters. It doesn’t matter if Luke or Anakin is your first Skywalker. We love them by the end no matter what.
When the rancor dies; the man crying was his master; he raised
Luke is such a different hero from most and definitely from Anakin. In every real Star Wars movie he is in, he either 'wins' or at least 'doesn't lose' by letting go, trusting a higher power to guide him or simply refusing to continue when he would need to compromise himself to do so. In many ways he is a lot like Anakin. Self-doubt, a bit angry, a bit impatient, a bit petulant etc. But when push comes to shove, he zigs towards a light side decision where Anakin would zag towards the dark side. Helps that he has an unshakeable drive to help people too.
Because Luke didn’t have a woman screwing up his head… they do that to men. 😂😂
Fun fact! If you recall from the series finale of Rebels, Hera, Chopper, Zeb, and Rex took part in the Battle of Endor. One of the members of Han's strike team was an old man with a white beard. Take one guess on who that may be.😏
That character actually was someone else with a specific name but has since been retconed to be who you're referring to. At least in fans eyes.
Actually it's confirmed by Dave it was Rex
Is still debated, not 100% confirmed
@@Pinkielover That character had a name decades before Dave. I will look it up.
That character was known as Nik Sant. Filoni has said he will try and change it to be Rex.
Since Anakin became mostly machine, it severely limited his dark side powers, so he was never able to use force lightning. In some stories, Palpatine became very disappointed with Vader and his lack of being able to use some dark side abilities, so he fell into disapproval a lot of the time because he would never be able to reach the full potential Palpatine had envisioned for him.
Not completely true he purposely gave Vader old out dated technology so he couldn’t. He was ultimately disappointed cause he LOST to obi wan.
But after that he accepted what Vader was and knew he’d never be able to ACTUALLY over throw him and take his place like all sith do with kept him happy.
In the old Legends stuff, the Emperor actually cut off Vader's right hand as punishment for allowing the destruction of the first Death Star.
The Emperor allowed Vader's injuries to happen because it gave him an advantage - the Sith Way means that Vader, as the apprentice, must attempt to kill his master in a bid to be elvated to Sith Master. Vader references this on Bespin. Vzder's weskened Force abilities make him extremely formidable in his role against non Force users, but easily defeated by Palpatine when the time came.
This was the first Star War's movie I ever seen VHS day's lol This movie always hits home💚🤘 Then watching The Prequels and finding out that Anakin and The Chosen One ⚡ Hit so Much Him just Saving he's Son and seeing Anakin Obi Wan and Yoda and the End and Luke just Smiles 🎆👏 Legendary, Great reaction 👍
When I was a kid there was a Han Solo book trilogy written by Brian Daley. Don't know if you've read or even know of them but they were very good. Han Solo at Star's End was one of them.
21:50 personally I feel you should feel vindicated. Darth Vader's original name was Anakin even according to the lore of prior to the making of the prequels.
I love rewatching these with those who've never seen them before. Makes my heart happy to see the magic on display and how it effects others. May the Force be with you!
Me too.
Thanks for another amazing reaction, Tara! Your continuous efforts are appreciated.
You cant consider yourself a nerd if you miss the Wilhelm scream, all nerds know and love the Wilhelm scream 😂
It's so good you watched this in story order. Some fans can't let go of their own experience, but seeing how impactful the end of this movie is to someone like you is really cool.
I think watching 6 Last is the way to go for anyone getting into Star wars. The real end of Anikans story should be at the end
@@Shawn_M IMO release order is for people who have no concept of Star Wars. Story order makes a bit more sense now just because of how all-pervasive Star Wars is. Everyone's encountered Star Wars now at some point in their life, even if it was as a kid and they don't remember much, they still have a concept of the series as a whole
Yeah, in general generations of Star Wars fans inherit a dislike for anything other than the OT because they are told to watch it first at a young age. They put it on such a pedestal. It's great, it's what introduced me to SW, but it's a bias that sometimes feels so toxic and detrimental to one's ability to enjoy the majority of SW. No matter how much one tries to be impartial, it's hard to not have that attachment to whichever story first introduced you to SW.
Generally, I watched it in chronological order.
In my opinion, the Star Wars saga can be viewed by watching only 4, 5, and 6. All you need to know is told or hinted in those movies. Everything else is mere flavour text. But feel free to disagree
The chronological or is really great with all the character building and background info out there now. They finally beat Palpatine after all his scheming and betrayal.
1:55 - "How long has he (Solo) been in there?!" - It's been approximately ONE year since the end of Empire Strikes Back.
2:25 - This "musical number" was replaced for the 1997 (and beyond) Special Edition release(s). You should look up the original videos comparing the two (Original and Special Edition releases, on ALL three movies).
3:45 - Fun fact: Harrison Ford did NOT sign on for both sequels to Star Wars. He had wanted Han Solo to sacrifice himself to save both Luke and Leia.... but once he heard Lucas' reasons for keeping Han alive (and having enough dollar signs thrown at him), he agreed to come back. (And no, I'm not throwing shade at Ford for what happened to make him change his mind.... just stating that's what happened).
4:53 - Ummm... yeah.... "Choke people out like his dad....." AND he's wearing all black..... Imagine what we thought in 1983..... Ambiguous on purpose....
5:00 - About that Leia bikini..... while Episode I came out after Episode VI..... you CAN see it again with another "slave girl" at Jabba's side during the Pod Race Anakin (Leia's father) raced in on Boonta Eve.
5:05 - Luke has been spending the previous year seeking out Jedi knowledge, which is why he's so much more mature than he was a year ago. He also set up this entire plan, which you will see play out shortly. Hence why he seems so different than he did at the end of Empire.
5:35 - The Bad Batch, actually (IIRC, you watched in chronological order).... so Bad Batch should have been where you've seen a Rancor before. Minor spoiler: You will see one again, at some point. That's all I'll say. Not where, or when.... just that you will.
(Sorry, if I'm wrong, Tara.... I watch a LOT of Star Wars Reaction channels..... so I get confoozled sometimes. But I'm certain you are one of the "Chronological Order" channels I watch..... so I really have to watch what I say.)
6:10 - Rancor are very emotionally attached creatures. That fat/ugly dude was his caretaker. That's all I'll say on that.
7:10 - There's a "deleted scene" where Luke finishes assembling this lightsaber, but it was cut for two reasons: To preserve pacing of the movie, and to NOT give away the reveal that R2 had it all along.
7:30 - Okay.... MINOR spoiler.... George Lucas once said, "Had I known how much of a fan favorite Boba Fett would be, I'd have given him a "better death scene". However.... it's a good thing he didn't.... because there's ramifications because Lucas didn't. And good ones, I might add. I'll leave it at that, for now.
8:15 - Also, George Lucas explained that R2 had his "Side Thrusters" removed sometime between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope..... in order to RetCon the fact that R2 didn't have them in this movie.
8:37 - Yeah.... "Decrepit"..... remember what that "Decrepit" man can do to someone..... (insert Force Lightning here)
9:15 - These scenes with Yoda were added, (Real talk here) because Child psychologists told Lucas that children wouldn't believe that Darth Vader was telling the truth about Luke's parentage. So, these scenes with Yoda were added, because children would believe a character THAT trustworthy, to divulge the truth about it. Hell, even James Earl Jones didn't believe Vader was speaking true, and he VOICED the character!
9:40 - What Yoda is talking about here, is Luke's "Jedi Trials"... which ALL Jedi must go through. Remember when Qui-Gon said, that, "Obi-Wan is ready for the Trials"? It was a "rite of passage" for Jedi. It's also VERY individual. Dependent on each Jedi AND their experiences. For Obi-Wan, defeating Darth Maul was his Trial (and he was granted the rank of Jedi Knight). For Anakin, not succumbing to his fear of loss (which he failed), Luke's CLUE was in the cave... "Facing HIS fear"..... in other words, becoming like his father (which he didn't even know at the time.... but Yoda TOLD him not to take his weapons, but he did anyway)..... and Luke failed that test. So now, he HAS to face his father again, BUT now with the knowledge he has.... and if he fails, he will end up turning to the Dark Side, and following his father down that path.
I have to say, that this whole "test" thing, is absolutely genius!!! It is a rite of passage, but also based on one's own experiences. Lucas planned much of this out from the beginning.
10:50 - This statement goes very much along with something Obi-Wan is about to say (VERY minor spoiler). Obi-Wan and Yoda were NOT the only Jedi to survive Order 66. However, there were VERY few who did (Less than survived Geonosis' first battle), and not all of them "complete" in their training. I'm only mentioning this, because first, it's true, and second, discovering these others who began their training, only to be "not complete" in their training, could confuse you. I won't name names, nor how far along they were IN their training.... just that they DID exist. Some "Children with Force Abilities" were later discovered, well after the rise of the Empire, and could affect future events, as well as those who were either Younglings or Padawans during Order 66.
11:42 - The ONLY time in the OT that Luke refers to Kenobi as "Obi-Wan"....
12:00 - I hate to say it... but Obi-Wan is spitting facts. Remember what Qui-Gon said in Episode I.... "Your focus determines your reality." In other words, "From a certain point of view". YOUR point of view. It took me YEARS to figure this out. What Obi-Wan was saying.
13:00 - Notice the difference between the ORIGINAL Death Star's vents, and THIS Death Star's vents. The original's vents led straight to the surface... in a straight line. THIS one has "winding corridors", which means that you can't just "drop" a bomb down a single shaft and expect it to reach the Main Reactor. THAT is why they have to fly in, and down to the reactor.... THEN knock it out.... THEN make their way out of the superstructure before it explodes. The Empire figured out what Galen Erso did, to make it easy to destroy.
13:20 - Crix Madine was rescued from an Imperial Base in the game Rogue Squadron. (Not sure if this is still Canon or not, but it works for me)
15:50 - We didn't have Closed Captioning in the cinemas.... BUT, the species was named in other media. Ewoks. They were called Ewoks. Like Wookies, only shorter and more primitive. (Think "VietCong")
18:45 - Yeah... about that...... "You are to be the main feast at a banquet in MY honour".... Yeah..... about that..... Remember that... like the little girl on Jedha......
20:45 - I have to explain this one a lot..... I grew up with a sister I didn't know existed, and parents I never met. But I can relate to the fact that, HAD I "kissed my sister", I'd have known "something wasn't right". So, I fully understand Luke and Leia "figuring it out", without actually knowing.
Fun fact. In real life wedge Antilles is Ewan McGregors uncle. London calling.
I can't watch this reaction because she keeps talking over EVERYTHING. She probably missed half of the plot and subtle humor because she kept TALKING!
Remember Yoda story arc in the clone wars when he was training with the 3 ghosts... His last words and I think the final episode was seeing his own death his last words.. Now you saw it in this movie but he says it during that episode they even use the audio that's how he becomes the force ghost , There is another Skywalker , Then he hast to let go
Yoda's blanket has been confirmed in a canon story as being Qui-Gon's old cloak
🥲
So, a lot of good facts were posted in the comments, I would like to add mine as well.
- Remember Yoda's lesson to Luke, "A Jedi uses the force for defense and knowledge, never attack" this is why Luke entered Jabba's temple the way he did, his intent was to get Han peacefully, but knew from his knowledge of the Force that Jabba would not go for it. Also putting the saber in R2 was genius, when Jabba's people scanned him it would appear as part of his mechanical insides, they would not think anything about it. Also this is why he could not destroy the Emperor, he was unarmed, so he had no way to defend himself, this would have been an attack, and lead Luke to the Dark side.
- To my knowledge this is the only time we see a Jedi go through his trial, Luke's was a trial of compassion, to which he passed splendidly.
- "A Certain point of View" is my favorite life lesson from any movie
- I have mixed feelings but understand why they showed Anakin at the end in his younger form. I personally like the original which showed him older.
- When I saw this the first time in theater, the whole audience gasped at the Luke/Leia revelation.
Great reaction to the movie though!
Great insight ... that was his trial... I think yoda foresaw the possibility of anakin coming back ... that was the reason for no weapons (the cave test) ... I think yoda foresaw the possible outcome of anakin coming back to save his son from the emperor ... because he said conquer vader and his emperor ... not kill or destroy
@@claymccarthy6198true, Luke is the ONLY one who states about killing Vader. Ben never corrects him but neither he or Yoda ever say anything about killing.
I also prefer Yub Nub.
@@chazo1367 but Brn did say that Vader "betrayed and murdered" Luke's father in New Hope
@@dillonlexington yeah but he never explicitly tells Luke to kill him, neither does Yoda, though it’s noted that they don’t correct him when he says about killing Vader, it’s more his choice than theirs.
George Lucas even said 1-6 is the order it should be watched.
Warwick Davis's very first appearance in a Star Wars movie, and you can't even recognize him because of the ewok costume.
We're missing out on your initial Lando reaction. You're one of the few (only that I've found ) who had an introduction to Lando before the movie.
They don’t show it on screen but Anakin’s body disappears like Obi-Wan and Yoda. It’s just Darth Vader’s armour Luke is burning on Endor
Loved your reaction - one of my favourite reactions i've seen to this movie - loved your emotional investment (& also Wedge love)!
Great reaction in your star wars story, made me cry too😆keep up the grea work👍
WAIT DON'T WATCH AHSOKA YET!
I know you're excited and can't wait but you really need to watch the Mandalorian first. While the Ahsoka series is a sequel to Star Wars Rebels, it's also a spinoff of the Mandalorian. The Mandalorian has important details and plot/story that set up and build to Ahsoka. In addition, Ahsoka has spoilers for Mandalorian season 3. I know you know how worth it it was to watch shows like Clone Wars and Rebels to have a better experience with other content so please don't skip to Ahsoka yet. You won't regret it!
And btw great reaction to Return of the Jedi!
Ahsoka is safely written standalone from the others shows, as it explains enough to go directly to it as well.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 Yeah you're right it technically can be watched by itself but I still strongly believe it's a better experience after the others
Don't listen to the haters you can call him either Anakin or Vader it's the same freakin person.👍🙂
One of the undeniable advantages of seeing it all in timeline order is that, well, it ends on a positive note 😁 I remember being seriously damaged at the end of episode III 'cause I knew nothing else was coming out to "make things right". (Of course that didn't stop me to see it 3 times in the theatres in like one week, each time marvelling at how good it was 😂).
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. A little corn. Hans' reaction to Leia telling him Luke is her brother.
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 this episode.
11. This is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After this he sold it to Disney, and everything changed. Sadly
Hayden Christensen was digital added in the 2004 re release for the movie when the original trilogy first came out on DVD. In the original movie Anakin’s force ghost was an older actor(the same one who was the unmasked Anakin)
28:35 Now Luke has the high ground
One year goes by between Empire and Jedi.
I thought it was 3 years.
@@dirtyhawkstv1575 It's three years between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back.
I saw the original release of this movie in the theater (1983); this is the remastered version with some added CGI circa 1997, and it's the same for the other two movies in the original trilogy (Lucas then pronounced the remastered versions as definitive). I have mixed thoughts about the last scene with the younger Anakin; in the original it was his older self. Each makes sense in its own way. Still, I prefer the older Anakin version. But I think I prefer your reaction to this film than others I've seen, and because you watched the prequels first you have a deeper investment in, and sense of identification with, the characters. The emotion you display is genuine (I could see your tears), and even a half-Vulcan like me was touched by that.
29:50. It always gets me. When Luke says Darth. And Vader/Anakin takes a huge breath. It is like i just hit a hornets nest. He knows Luke is more powerful.
Imagine how the storm troopers feel when they have to admit that they got beat by a bunch of little teddy bears lol. I love the original Star Wars trillogy. George Lucas has said that the Star Wars story is basically Anakin's life story.
I like how Dave filoni has retcon return of the Jedi, Captain Rex's in the movie now or should I say the characters now been changed the Captain Rex, that's why Rex at the end of clone wars was wearing that outfit simular to the outfits being worn by the rebel soldiers in this movie
Man. I'm telling you, we need to go full Order 66 on all copies of this movie with Vader's horrible and insufferable, Noooo!
You might want to consider watching the Mandalorian. It's the next series chronologically
You Forgot to react to the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, The Mandalorian series is next in line after Episode 6 Return of the Jedi and the Ahsoka series is set at the same time period as The Mandalorian
I hate this mirrored shit,,,not cool
Watch The Mandalorian and Book of Bobba Fett. Happens after Return of the Jedi.
Tara, I'd like to suggest that you watch ObiWan Kenobi series next and than Ahsoka.
Are you skipping Obi Wan Kenobi, Mandalorian, and Book of Boba Fett? Just curious.
Can’t wait for Rise of Skywalker reaction.
Why lol
@@jeweetzelf734Because some of us don't fall for Russian memes
@SwiftJustice Help me me sense of that comment.
huh
@@illratedRussia reviewbombs SW because it's anti-fascist. And 🍭🍭🍭 fall for it.
Wedge is the GOAT - the only pilot to survive the entire series and to have survived the attacks and destruction of both Death Stars!
One of the coolest small details easily missed is that when Vader "saves" the Emperor from Luke striking him down he actually saves Luke from the dark side. The Emperor wanted Luke to strike him down with hate and complete his journey to the dark side. But Vader stopped him from commiting that mistake:)
Not sure where you got that from. Vader wanted to rule the galaxy with Luke at his side. The emperor wants to live forever(obviously). He would have stopped Luke from killing him with the force, & the emperor would have thought that Vader was a traitor & killed Vader. Vader didn't have a choice in that moment. Vader wanted Luke to turn.
@johnberger8817 He originally wanted Luke to be his second in command, but I too think he was saving Luke. I continue to believe Anakin was battling Vader inside that suit, and Anakin won that battle .
@@dirtyhawkstv1575 Vader threw his lightsaber at Luke. He wasn't holding back.
He was torn when Luke showed him mercy by not killing him. The emperor told Luke to kill him, when Vader was defenseless, & Luke told the emperor "I am a Jedi like my father before me." Vader realized at that moment that the emperor didn't care about him & what Luke had become. That was the critical moment, not before.
Then when he was watching his son die, his own flesh & blood that he didn't know about for over 20yrs, dying at the emperor's hands, he had to save him. He remembered what love was⁷ & felt like. Before Luke showed him mercy Vader was trying to kill Luke.
He functionally "saved" him from the Dark Side yes. But that was not Vader's intention in that moment as is revealed in the novel. Anyway, I do think it's reasonable to think, from what we know of Anakin's character and incredibly STRONG feelings about family and friends that ever from the moment he realized the young powerful rebel who had destroyed the first Death Star was actually his son, that he from that moment wanted to turn Luke to his side to be with him as he says in Empire. It was only at the very end of that fight when he is on the floor defenseless and then seeing his son be murdered by force lightening that he legitimately decides to fight AGAINST the DARK. Before that he was still fighting FOR the dark, but in a different way than the Emperor.
Ever heard of Essence Transfer... its not a tale the jedi would tell you. The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.
Don’t worry about those people saying it’s wrong order, there living in nostalgia, chronological is 100 percent the best way to view Star Wars and makes it way more emotional. Thank you for being one of the good ones

Amen.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
Hell no, you're just a prequel fanboy
The ewoks vs Empire reminds me of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, the 1970s movie, where Caesar, son of Dr Cornelius and Zira, leads the apes with a few friendly humans against Imperial-looking police and military of Central City, as America has basically become the Empire, with Governors.
This is such a fun movie. It isn't as gritty or dark as 'Empire' was, but it's still very enjoyable even if the Endor stuff is a little silly at times (not complaining). It's a great movie overall and I managed to catch it in the theater a few months ago for the anniversary release. And as for your reasoning to watch it in chronological order vs release date...it shouldn't matter to anyone except you. Most of us watched it in the release order because that was technically the chronological order at the time haha. Do it in whatever order is more fulfilling for you. I cannot wait for the 'Ahsoka' reactions!
It's something that Luke "buried" Anakin by setting fire to the suit and it was just how he became to be Vader to begin with after battling Kenobi.
Looks like a baby Rancor =zeb Star Wars rebels...lol
You have to watch the mandalorian first
I’m not a fan of the prequel trilogy personally, but it’s still fun to see people watch the films in in-universe chronological order. It creates a distinct perspective.
Artoo knows about Leia, but chooses to keep it secret. He also has records of Anakin Skywalker, and his progression to become Vader.
In Legends, Luke gives Artoo and Threepio manumission, essentially having them buy themselves. Artoo uses his new ability to disobey Luke and blocks all the files about Anakin, even to the point of trying to burn out his own memory when the file locks are bypassed. To protect Luke from the trauma of seeing his father's fall.
5:35 You have seen that creature in Clone Wars. Its a Rancor, a native creature of the planet Dathomir where the Nightsisters live.
In actuality they are gentle creatures, but depending on how they are raised they can become violent like this one. It was largely abused and starved by Jabba so he can feed his enemies to it.
OOOH! Such perfect timing for this to be live after The Ahsoka Finale. I literally just rewatched it 2 seconds ago.
Can't wait for you to get there.
Hold on I just noticed as I'm typing this the description says you've watched Ahsoka. Are you aware in chronological order The Mandalorian is first, and The Book of Boba Fett? There are scenes in those shows which inform the events of Ahsoka a good amount.
I decided to watch Ahsoka now as it aired because I knew if I didn’t it would be spoiled all over social media!
@@thatnerdtara Ahsoka is very conected with mando and book of boba fett. I think you really need to watch them first
@@thatnerdtara Fair enough. 😀 I'm sure it would've been really hard to avoid spoiler things, especially relating to Anakin. Now Mando and Boba can be YOUR Ahsoka prequels.
@@thatnerdtara #youniti online site SW Canon Comics timeline///on UA-cam you will find some video sorry but UA-cam deletinv my messages.
@@thatnerdtara are you still going to watch mando, and book of boba fett after and post those?? Great reactions?
That thing singing in the Jabba’s palace was in The Clone Wars. She killed Ziro The Hut
Han said see Her again
I know you want to get to Asohka, but as Andy wrote to Red, "...if you've come this far maybe you're willing to go a little farther."
You really should watch all 3 seasons of The Mandalorian before starting Asohka.
It's kind of required viewing.
With The Book of Boba Fett between seasons 2 and 3.
@@dirtyhawkstv1575 Correct you are
7:40 that’s my favorite part of Leia killing Jabba.
lol, you cried almost as much as I did
I love how wrapped up you got in these three movies.
What if Luke turned Dark? Mark Hamill always wondered that. On another note: Some time in the late 90's, I thought I saw a comic book indicating the next movie would be the continuation of the story of Luke, Han, and Leia. It's so long ago I don't even remember any details. But Episode 1 wasn't about that story.
That was the Dark Empire comic book by Dark Horse publishers. And yes, Luke did turn to the dark side for a brief time. I found it funny that people shred the new sequel movies and hate Disney for Luke's exile story when for years the Dark Empire story literally had him go to the dark side and everyone was okay with it.
@@maximalprime5484and the Emperor returning as a clone... like 30 times. Haters gonna hate.
But Luke turned the dark side in dark Empire for completely different reasons than becoming a hermit who had once tried to kill his nephew. In the dark Empire storyline, Luke thought he would better be able to save the new Republic from the inside of the emperor's forces. And he wanted to understand why his father fell to the dark side. The entire time he was sabotaging the emperor's fleet and getting Intel to the Republic on how to destroy it entirely. It's only at the very end when he tries to challenge Palpatine outright that he finds himself trapped in the dark side mental control. And then he is saved by his sister when Leia joins him and they make a mental connection to defeat the emperor entirely. That is very much in keeping with Luke's character. The selfless hero willing to put his own life and sanity at risk for the greater good. What we got in the sequels was a completely different character. One who had no hope. One who confronted evil with murder. One who fled from his family and the galaxy out of cowardice and shame.
Watching in timeline order is the best way, don't listen to the haters. I normally recommend people watch a new hope first. As an introduction to the universe, since it was THEE introduction. But then I have them go through and watch everything chronologically.
I just had a thought.....
I want to see a "What If...." story that puts Chopper "on the ground" during the Battle of Endor, and acknowledges that indeed Rex is there, also (meaning, he gets a bigger part than just cuffing a Scout Trooper).
Anyone else want to see that?
I'm happy for you that you started your Star Wars journey together with us all that has been into it for a long time. It's has it's ups and downs of course, like any IP. But welcome to the family!
And of course extra thanks for being so kind of recording your reaction on video and sharing with the world!
20:48 trust me everyone asks that question
I hear this movie, and even now the rhythms of the dialogue are so familiar and nostalgic for me. This, more than even the other two, is really the movie I grew up with, considering we had it on tape (recorded off TV) for a lot of time in my childhood. Also, stuff like the musical performance is an exception to the nostalgia, because I had the original form from before the post-prequel re-release.
The irony of the Emperor is Ian McDiarmid was like, only in his 30s when this was originally filmed, but when the prequels came out, he could play Palpatine without the heavy aging make-up.
Yoda is the only Jedi to ever be shown dying of old age.
I went from age 13 in 1977 when I saw Star Wars to 16 Years old in 1980 when I saw The Empire Strikes Back to 19 Years Old when I saw Episode VI Return of the Jedi in the Movie Theatre! Everyone Gasped in the Movie theatre when it was revealed Leia was Lukes's sister. Everyone cheered in the Movie Theatre when Darth Vader turned on the emperor. In the original version Darth Vader does not yell No. He just turns on the Emperor. Anakin Skywalker was the Jedi that returned. Luke hinted at it when he said I am a Jedi like my father before me. The original force Ghost of Anakin was played by the older actor.
This is not my favorite at all. I can never forgive them from changing it from "Revenge of the Jedi" to the weak "Return of the Jedi" and for changing it from a final battle with Wookies to Teddy Bears.
But it has a few strong points. and the second bombshell is dropped.
I said back in the theater when the film came out and I maintain that it would've been hilarious and completely in character if Han had responded to Leia's "...someone who loves you..." with the name of a previous girlfriend because of his brain being fuzzy from the carbon freeze. The look on Leia's face would've been priceless.
Yes, yes, I know,...from Han's point of view no time has passed and he just he heard Leia profess her love.
Nothing beats the original (ORIGINAL) edition of Episode 5 and 6. All the extra special editions were so overdone. Does anyone know if the original edition is on BluRay?
"Luke, kill him!" You are REALLY missing the point here. Don't you understand WHY Luke can't kill him? It's also rather bizarre how your main reason for hating the Emperor seems to be that he's ugly. There are a tonne of more valid reasons to hate him.
33:17 "I guess it's fitting that Vader will die here."
Foreshadowing from Ep. 3 Revenge of the Sith... Anakin says to Palpatine about Obi-Wan "His fate will be the same as ours." All three will later go on to die on a Death Star.
If you like wedge Antilles AKA the only X-wing pilot to help kill two DEATH STARS. YOu should read the X-WIng by Michael Stackpole
you should believe Vader actually brought him before the Emperor. You've seen the other movies and I'm unsure about how much secondary material, but simple math should tell you Vader has lived an entire career under the emperor. He has been immersed in the Dark Side, fulfilling countless missions and Jedi assassinations for the Empire prior to this conflict. It's an addiction at the very least, but also an entire philosophy....he has surrendered to the Dark Side all this time. It's not a light switch. The Emperor and Vader have a complex relationship, but between him the Empire and the Dark Side, Vader is utterly devoted, and the buried persona of Anakin has only ever been a source of hate, sorrow and pain for him to draw from. Anakin gaining a foothold against his own darker nature is an immense process.
It's pretty considerable trauma that Luke endured in his young life. You might think he had a sense of his mother's pain, then he watches his Aunt and Uncle brutalized, his mentor killed in front of him, his father tried to kill him, his 2nd mentor dying, his best friend getting killed by his father...!!!
Leia finding out her brother is Luke. I know, somehow I have always known. No wonder she kissed Luke so passionately. That’s a good sister. If things don’t work out with her an Han, she can move to Alabama with Luke.
Anakin did do some terrible things as Lord Vader. But I honestly think he was a poor soul who made a deal with the devil (Sidious) and lost. I used to believe Vader was evil but after reading some of the comics and the hardships he went through really made me realize what he went through everyday.
28:58 Or, they could just use the AT-AT walker to destroy the big satellite dish that is projecting the force field.
Did you you catch the luke reference in ahsoka when she said I won't fight you... and he said I've heard that before ... referring to luke and him ... lol love it
