- What a journey this has been! Star Wars The Return of the Jedi had me gasping for air by the end. I honestly didn't expect that kind of redemption and it just hit me in the feels completely. I love a story like this. This truly is one of the most epic stories. Let us hope to be steadfast like the Jedi in our own lives so we can overcome many things as well as getting out of the dark side. Tears of joy!

Oh boy this was just amazing! The ending obliterated my feelings lol. Thank you guys for following me on this journey! Thank you to Maxwell who recommended I watch in the Machete Order. What a beautiful story of hope and redemption and breaking the generational trauma patterns. I couldn't have asked for a better ending! My Star Wars journey doesn't end here! I am already watching The animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars which you can find on my Patreon! Those episodes will start to trickle out to youtube in a few weeks. Also I will get to Rogue one and Andor as well.
George Lucas is a dreamer and he invited us all into his dream.
Just a suggestion end it here with the skywalker saga ❤
Claps*
@@damaruslove8688 she already watched the sequels and said i believe she wouldn’t watch them again, thank god!
The guy playing wedge (black haired pilot he was in all 3 movies, attacking death star in this and first movie and attacking walkers on ice planet in empire) is ewan mcgregors (obi wan) actual uncle.. he encouraged him to act which of course led him to star in the star wars franchise
Time is indeed an interesting thing. I would love to spend more of it with you!
Man I love how that Hayden Christensen force ghost really hit you. Your choice of watch order really paid off, love these reactions and how you feel the emotions of the characters so deeply.
Oh yeah I am happy I watched it in this order. Again force ghost was a completely beautiful surprise for me
@@ImonSnow The pay-off for Machete is worth the haters.
It's wild, George Lucas was trashed for the choice by purists and I always found it jarring. But lately I've watched people reacting to Star Wars for the first time and see how it all clicks for them. And I get it now.
Regardless of whatever order people watch them in, I would much rather watch someone enjoying what they are watching, than all the endless bashing of everything. Love will always be stronger than hate, for me. And in the end, is that not one of the very messages of this movie?
@@k1productions87 k ...
A lot of people didn’t like Anakin’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 Vader.
nah, it's pretty dumb
@@Spluushit’s really not
@@Spluush no its not, the last one was dumber, he was way older than obiwan, anakin died at 46 not 76
Same, I never understood people's rejection to that. It makes total sense. Luke redeemed him, Vader said it himself. It makes sense that Ani would be the one that continues on into the afterlife, not Vader.
Honestly, same. I get that it kinda devalues the original actor's work, but when I saw it I got the FEELS 😭😭😭 theres our boiiii! Hes good now!!!!
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!
The crazier thing being that it's still him after all these years
I love Palpatine because of how good Ian Mcdiarmid's performance is. He's soooo good
Ian McDiarmid is an wonderful actor, he really made the Emperor the ultimate villain
The difference between Palpatine and Vader is that Palpatine was evil to begin with.
@@JeremySolo in legends it was explained that Palpy went so far down he couldn't come back. Vader was a dark Jedi, nowhere near a Sith.
"Your overconfidence is your weakness"
Gotta love how Anakin turns to look at Luke, like hes kinda impressed but also kinda worried lmao
From Vader's perspective, the entire conversation is supposed to be incredibly uncomfortable and emasculating. Vader's whole thing is that power is ALL he is, and behind that power he's just a pathetic, sad husk. In that room was his master, someone he is extremely terrified of ever defying, and his Son, some new Jedi fledgling with undertrained powers. And yet his son is back-sassing the emperor, in front of both of them, and all Vader can do is sit there and do nothing until he is told to do something by the guy currently getting sassed by a young Jedi.
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly that is the best comment to ever come out of this topic lmao
Poor Vader
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly - I often thought how unlike with Anakin, the Emperor has nothing to offer Luke to get him to turn.
He’s just figuring maybe he can get him to emotionally turn…and Luke almost does, but is able to resist when he gets a glimpse of what his fate could be unless he stops.
One reason why Luke in this film was a figure I often looked up to.
@@80MWH Luke's look at his mechanical hand is what gets him to step back from the dark side. It's an important detail that gets overlooked sometimes. That hand represents the mistake he made in Empire Strikes Back and what an unprepared brush with the dark side cost him. It shows that legalism in faith has no place, as even our scars and imperfections can be made to work for good.
@@JWar-we know
We knew you were in trouble at the celebration scenes when you were already tearing up at the Ewoks dancing!
The Hayden Christiansen force ghost always gets me. Anakin died when he became Vader, so he appears young. Amazing.
Makes no sense at all. If Anakin died when he became Vader then it's too late to become a force ghost 30 years later. If Vader was "redeemed" back into Anakin at the last minute then he still should have looked old since that's what he looked like when he died. Either way it was just more BS on the part of George Lucas.
@@nodak81 No it makes complete sense. A force ghost can transform back to when they feel they were last a proper Jedi. Anakin was a proper Jedi Knight in the Prequels and the Clone Wars. That's when Anakin would last see him as a Jedi. Stop hating on Hayden just because he was mediocre in the Prequels.
A beautiful dichotomy someone once pointed out to me is that padme’s last words are “there is still good in him,” while anakin’s last words are “you were right”
Vader can't make his own choices against the emperor, cause the emperor is stronger than him. But at this point, I think he was planning on taking down the emperor with Luke, but still being conflicted about if he and Luke together even had the power to do that, more so than him being conflicted about the light and the dark side.
@@ncard00 Vader was still worthy and strong enough to go head on head with the emperor but the Suit had an like build in "Killswitch" when he get hit by the lightning of the emperor
I was there opening day May 1983 at the local theater. I was 18 years old and every moment of this film had you completely focused on the screen. The part where Vader saved Luke by grabbing the Emperor and throwing him into the core shaft I'll tell you the packed theater went absolutely crazy. I will never forget the experience of that day as long as I live. Thank you George Lucas for this fantastic saga you have created!!
I'd love to have seen that. Lucky you. God bless!
THIS is why the prequels worked. I saw the films in chronological order (clone wars too) for my first time too, and it was the most satisfying ending ever. Seeing Anakin’s ghost watching over his children after all that pain and suffering, makes it the most satisfying ending in movie history imo. Great reaction Imon!❤
He’s a serial murderer. A killer of CHILDREN. Why should he ever have any kind of happy ending? 😊
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Lol, shut up bro, just enjoy the moment and worry about the moral implacations later
Too bad there was no Padme.
I agree man from a year ago. I think the only downside of watching them in the order of 1-6 instead of 4-6 then 1-3 is you don’t get the big twist in empire. But other than that 1-6 is the best way to get to know these characters and grow with them
@@StarWarsFan-nr2ct The Machete Order is 4,5 - 2,3 - 6, skip 1. The purpose is to maximize number of plot twists (father in 5, twins in 3) and keep the suspense in the finale, 6, because we've seen how a young powerful Jedi can fall to the darkness and it is by no means clear that Luke wouldn't fall too.
The Star Wars films helped shape who I am. What’s interesting is that he ultimately did fulfill being the chosen one in destroying the Sith and bringing balance to the force.
Having the addition of bringing back Haydn for the force ghost, looking back, was perfect.
Loved how you mention the theme of breaking that generational trauma, or at least accepting the past but choosing your own future.
Thank you for being open as always.
“Tell your sister…you were right.”
That still hits so hard.
♥️
I always smiled when watching the prequels (when they were released) when they talked about bringing balance to the force. I mean after Vader killed all the younglings... all that was left was Yoda and Obi-Wan (2 Jedi) and Vader and the Emporer (2 Sith)
sounds like balance to me
(Also, I know I know... clone wars and other properties there's more going on there [vague bc spoilers], but at the time Revenge of the Sith came out... we didn't know)
@@FenixNade The Jedi are The Force in balance. The Sith are The Force twisted for personal gain
I agree with you. People have been SO UNGRATEFUL to George Lucas, it's beyond my understanding. There's no excuse for that. Lucas gave me the greatest cinematic experience of all time, something unforgettable--I went crazy when I saw Star Wars the first time. For that I'm DEEPLY grateful to Mr. Lucas. Not only am I a Star Wars fan, but also I'm a George Lucas fan!!! Nice reaction video!!!
George Lucas made changes, for the sole purpose of being vindictive and petty. To show that he had the power.
I don't care about not being able to write or direct. That deserves little scorn, but when you literally THROW AWAY works of historical art, that crosses the line.
We nearly lost Star Wars because of his negilgence and indifference to the history.
The original movie reels were nearly lost. They were unkept and not preserved. They were nearly ruined before fans were able to find a way to purchase them and distribute copies for restoration.
It has nothing to do with his inept talent, it has everything to do with his lack of caring for history and the disregard for the preservation of art, simply to display a petty indifference and show "who has the real power".
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Star Wars is George Lucas's INTELECTUAL PROPERTY. Star Wars is HIS CREATION, NOT YOURS.I respect/admire/like Lucas--not matter what. He made my favorite movies (the original Sta Wars trilogy.) So Get LOST SILLY HATER!!!!!!
"Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards"
True,
Who said that?
I've seen dozens of Star Wars Reactions on UA-cam. This way my favorite. You "get" Star Wars on an intuitive level that a lot of people miss - the stuff beyond it just being a great story, and it was a joy to watch you experience it.
Yeah she really does and the analyses at the tail ends as well as the talk of spirituality and generational trauma, Carl Jung, etc. is so so insightful. She really knows how to watch movies. My favorite reactor on UA-cam right now 🎉
This is perfectly said. I have never seen anyone react to Star Wars the same way on UA-cam.
Indeed! I've never considered that Vader was protecting Luke by preventing him from killing the emperor. A truly powerful analysis revealing the good that was still in him.
Definitely agree. It's like listening to a long time fan see it for the first time.
Anakin was always the chosen one and in the end he became the Hero and brought balance to the force.
🗿
🗿
The Clone wars and Rebels are fantastic Star Wars properties that really enhance these trilogy’s. Highly recommend them.
@@Voltar in Quinlan Vos voice: "Well, that's your opinion man"
@@Voltar Well watching Rebels is sure as hell required for what The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Boba fett are leading up to (Thrawn)
@@Voltar rebels is amazing lmfao
And this is why I think the Machete order is best way to watch Star wars for the first time. You feel way more connected to Vader emotionally and it ends on a good note.
Not connected to Vader, connected to the story of Anakin. Vader was Anakin's dark night of the soul. Never who he truly was.
how about feeling connected to him because he was a child in slavery who was inducted into a monastic warrior order and then manipulated by an evil genius who turned him into a slave again? instead of butchering the story.
@@beavisdoge237 by "butchering" the story with machete order you get to introduce newcomers to Episode 4 with Luke and keep the "plot twist" of Vader being Lukes father in Episode 5. Then go back to the prequels to see Anakins tragic backstory and fall like a flashback. And by the end of the prequels you get the second plottwist of padme being pregnant with twins. And as you begin Episode 6 (coming right after the very emotional Episode 3) you're rooting much more for Vader, since his backstory is so fresh in your mind.
@@nangstalgic4423 Not gonna lie, i think the plot twist of Vader being Luke's father is somewhat overrated, but i might be biased there. Personally i think chronological is the most "impactful".
Release Order if you’re watching the non-special edition OT
Machete if you’re watching the Special Editions
Wow. Just wow. Thank you SO much for filming your reactions to all this. Such a beautiful reaction. For millions of us, we have spent our entire life with this story. Seeing amazing people like yourself have such a powerful experience with this... you actually put tears in my eyes as well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Also, a big parallel I never really paid attention to until watching your video. Luke getting force lightning from the emperor, begging Anakin to help him, which Anakin ultimately does, is very much like when the emperor used force lightning on Mace, and Mace was asking Anakin to help him, except Anakin made the wrong choice then.
_Palpatine_ was asking for Anakin's help, not Mace. Mace just told him to not listen.
It's brilliant how that moment came full circle to Vader realising he saved the wrong person when Mace died and decides to kill the person who made him make the wrong decision which was the pivotal moment that lead him to the dark side.
@@callmeshaggy5166 That’s true, all the same I never liked Mace the way I do Qui Gon and Luke. Mace was too insensitive to other’s feelings, and he was too impulsive when he went to confront Palpatine without taking extra precautions.
@@jmwilliamsart Mace was always the jedi master closest to the dark side. It was the only way he was able to survive fighting with Palpatine. In that context, him being a massive jackass makes sense to me.
No he made the right choice
It was all part of vaders journey to turning good again
Theres a moment, a single line that everyone overlooks, that completely changes everything.
"It is too late for me son"
Its the moment Vader shows insight into himself, where it shows he now realises hes made a horrible wrong choice that he cant see a way back from, rather than a devoted apprentice to Sidious.
Once he says that you knows there is a way back for him.
To be fair what happened in the prequel trilogy wasn’t all Anakin’s doing. In the ROTS novel Yoda admits that he failed the Jedi Order because he never allowed it to change, to evolve, and adapt, as a result the Order became too dogmatic,arrogant, and too detached from the ordinary people of the galaxy. The Jedi shouldn’t have allowed themselves to become a police force and generals for corrupt and self serving senators. Why didn’t they prioritize serving the ordinary people over a corrupt senate?
Obi Wan failed Anakin by being too hard on him, not showing enough compassion and understanding, and he didn’t try listening to Anakin when he should’ve. In that sense Obi Wan also failed his master Qui Gon by trying to train Anakin as though he was any other Jedi, he was wrong to force Anakin into that mold rather than let him be himself. And let’s not forget how cold the Jedi Council was towards Anakin, they never showed him any trust or understanding. Every Jedi except for Qui Gon and Ahsoka just treated Anakin as though he was a time bomb waiting to go off instead of a person.
Ahsoka left the Order, and it seemed to Anakin that Obi Wan had chosen the Council that has always treated him badly over him. As a result he felt more alone then ever, and all he had left was Padme and Palpatine who as we know had been manipulating him along with everyone else. Anakin never had a stable childhood, he was treated horribly even beaten black and blue was he was 4 years old. And life within the Jedi Order also felt like another form of slavery to him. My point is that Anakin didn’t have a supporting group of people in his life like his twin children did.
Yes he did make a the wrong choice, but his fear of losing Padme is understandable considering what had happened with his mother Shmi. His treatment in the Order amounts to emotional abuse. All those years of trauma (Clone War, and his mother), frustration, emotional abuse, and eventually distrust of the Jedi finally exploded by ROTS. Anakin wasn’t born a monster, he was made one by years of everything I just stated.
This is what the original trilogy is about. None of this Chosen One nonsense, or balance to the force thats completely unnecessary. Its simply a bad guy finding some humanity left within him at the end, to save his son from the devil. Its beautiful and doesn't need that rubbish from the prequels over the top of it.
That bit that always sets me off is when Luke and Anakin are on the shuttle ramp and Luke says I have to save you, when Anakin replies You already have Luke the tears just flow. Awesome reaction too.
This is why I will always defend chronological/machete order forever. George Lucas himself said that chronological the right order to watch. This is the story about Anakin Skywalker. Loved your reaction!
Especially after George Lucas put Hayden in that last ghost scene replacing sebastian shaw after the prequals came out. It really makes return of the jedi more powerful as vadar begins to soften if you saw eps 1-3
thisssss
Chronological and Machete Order are two deference orders Chronological is what I prefer that's 1 to 6 with stuff that takes place between 3 and 4 and that's Solo Obi-Wan Andor and Rogue One Machete is that garbage flashback crap 4 5 1 2 3 6
@@ralphroshia9247 Funny you said that considering that the person who's channel you are commenting in watched it in Machete Order.
As a guy who saw the films as they came out....I was 7 years old in 1977....Im pretty happy with the way I was able to see them.
Watching them in this order is brilliant. It gives ROTJ a lot more meaning.
Exactly ! That's why we should push forward more whe' reactors want to know which movie to watch after Ep. V...
I'm a fan of just chronological (1-6) but machete is solid for the same reason that 1-6 is good.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone do this order and i was surprised to see how well it works. I’ll have to try it the next time I sit down and watch the movies.
Your reaction is priceless. George Lucas once said: “I made this movies to fill people with joy and to feel that life is beautiful and all will be ok. To give some light to this dark world of pain and suffering”. Seeing you crying and laughing at the end, confirms that.
I'm so glad you're one of the few who watched the prequels first. It gives Vaders sacrifice such a bigger impact, and of course you don't end up confused who the 3rd force ghost is at the end lol
Yeah so many reactions they say "whose that?"
@@roach6992 yeah a lot of people figure it out quickly though
@Paladin Headquarters
But 99% are like "is that young Darth Vader?"
It's not wrong but like, even Luke and Obi called him Anakin enough times to where they should've remembered that
@@julianrosado1592 yeah fair
Hope was always the story. A new hope may have been episode 4 title but, with all the bad the happens, still, ends with a even greater hope.
Star Wars is very symbolic to real life, that's why so many relate the themes to their lives
This reaction here is the reason I love Star Wars so much. It emotionally resonates with us in so many ways; more importantly with how we lose ourselves to our own darkness, and how it is always possible to come back from it.
The original Force ghost at the end was the older actor, Sebastian Shaw, who was under the mask when Luke removed it.
Yeah, Lucas replaced Shaw's force ghost with Christensen. Not a popular move at the time. I'm still not happy about it.
@@josepha5885I think most people prefer the change now tho
@@josepha5885 Well, I'm happy with the change!!!
As I grow older, Luke throwing away his lightsaber in the face of the Emperor resonates more and more. To me, it is the ultimate acceptance of Yoda's turn to pacifism after the Clone Wars, which Luke strained against throughout his training. None of Yoda's training is about fighting and he constantly warns Luke away from conflict (until he sees it is the only way for Luke to reach enlightenment). I hope you will give The Last Jedi a rewatch on your own with this idea in mind.
Also, kinda hilarious in hindsight because no-one bothered to tell Luke that Palpatine shoots lightning and his saber could block it 😅
I totally agree, Luke's throw in TLJ is a call back to the throw here ... something regrettably many fans missed and continue to miss till this day. Luke's turn to pacifism in ROTJ was real and was his answer to the generational trauma which in the years to come he would've tried to sustain. For me, The Last Jedi understood this where the two other Sequels struggled very much to deal with Anakin's legacy.
@@frankwitte1022 Even JJ didn't understand the toss...
@@frankwitte1022 no it wasn't. You're trying to write fanfiction for the film.
No, the toss was definitely because they tossed out the old rules and made up new rules. What Luke threw away was his whole backstory.
I've been saying this for so long, the only thing that I did like about the sequels was Luke's story, the giving up, the depression, the way he thinks he did not match the expectations, a true human and flawed character, unlike perfect Rey. As a failed "golden child", i do relate to Luke's actions and story.
I think Han Solo's smile is the perfect reaction. He clearly thinks back to Hoth, But as she kisses him, knows she truly wants him, he also realizes that his 2nd best friend will soon become HIS brother, and family is something solo never really truly had.
Also....them works prolly ate them stormtroopers.....
@@jeffwilliams5142 I don't think the Rebels would allow that to happen. I'm pretty sure eating POWs is a war crime, even in a galaxy far far away. That being said, I wouldn't be too surprised if the Ewoks had eaten a random patrol or two before the war ended.
@@OneEyedJack1970 I’m sure the Ewoks got to eat some humans, The Rebels even after defeating the Empire were not directly in control or in charge of everyone. Ewoks eat men, it’s in their custom that would not change over night, especially if it’s in the Ewoks belief system (religion) to eat the sacrifice to their gods.
Eating men is a war crime to the humans, not to the Ewoks.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your emotional SW reactions... I binged it all in the last 24h and I cried so many tears with you...
You're so quick to catch details and subtleties that took me several viewings to realise, and your interpretations and philosophical and personal psychological tangents really really hit me hard and gave me so much in my current personal psychological struggles, my self-doubt and self-hate... my feeling I'm not being good enough as a father or as a person. You really helped me with some of your views and I think you're a wonderful person, in addition to simply being entertaining. Thank you.
I am so happy you could hear something I said and it could take some of the weight off of you! Just remember these feelings of happiness and sadness come and go, just practicing on just being is so important. Please take care of yourself !
My wife had the same reaction when Anakin's spirit appeared with Obi wan and Yoda. It is pretty powerful!
Wow, I love how emotional your reactions are. You always show such empathy too and you really get attached to the characters. Your breakdown at the end after Anakin appeared had me breaking down with you lol. It's such a powerful ending to the story and it was beautiful that it hit you deeply. Great choice of watch order!
This is the best reaction I have seen for this movie ever
He was truly the chosen one
The biggest jedi and sith ever!
Wow, you helped me appreciate this ending so much more than I ever had in the past. Thank you for being unafraid of displaying your emotions for us. There were so many little additions from the special editions that had been added that I never really saw before (only having seen the originals back in the day). I believe Vader yelling NOOOO when he picks up Palpatine was added? I don't remember that. I feel like that jarred me out of that moment but damn your reactions helped me empathize with the story AND you and it just helped me get there almost as hard as you got there. Thank you again for these :)
Vader’s “NOOOO” was added in the latest version of the film. I honestly believe it’s more powerful that Vader turns on Palpatine in absolute silence, not giving him a chance to see the betrayal coming.
@@kodeshikou464Palpatine wasn't going to see it anyway
He didn't understand the emotion of the love vader had for luke
I love how the characters develop in these stories. Anakin's insecurities sent him on the dark path and that's so relatable to our own lives.
I'm 44 years old. I saw this film for the first time with my dad when I was 6, in the theater, in 1983. I had it on videotape my entire childhood and have watched it more than any of the films in this franchise, to the point that every word of the script, every musical beat, hell, every SOUND effect is indelibly etched into my memory. There is literally nothing in this film that I don't remember.
However, watching along with reactors like you makes it new again, and enables me to actually FEEL the emotional currents in the film again. This is important, because something I've seen SO many times and memorized as a CHILD can overshadow and blunt the message it has for adults, with all the emotional layers and capacity for self-deception we have.
So thank you for putting the time and effort into watching these films, recording your reactions, and editing them for public consumption. It renews and replenishes memories and gives them life again. It enables the memories of a child to take on new depth and meaning for a middle-aged man.
If that's not what art is for, then what the hell IS it for?
I love this thank you for sharing. It’s nice to read how this movie has resonated with so many people over the years and still continues to do so. ♥️
In the end, I found peace and freedom.
What made Anakin's story so tragic was the fact he wasn't born evil, he couldn't help being emotionally attached to Padme and his mum and he was just being human and that clashed with the jedi tradition and lead him on a dark path. He however still had good within him and Luke was the one able to bring that out in him and do what he was born to do with destroying the emperor, awesome reaction.
1. New viewer here. Just happened upon your channel.
2. You are a true soul. You're the type of person I'd love to sit down with for hours to discuss the meaning life and other conversation topics. I feel like there are fewer and fewer people like us every year. In a world of ever-growing conformity, I feel like there's less of a place for people like us that would rather have a philosophical conversation than perform the latest Tik Tok trend.
3. When you cried at Vader's death, it brought me right back to when I was 7 and cried over Vader's death during my first viewing. It feels so conflicting to mourn someone who was once so evil.
4. When you were talking about how that light within us dims as we get older, that hit me so hard. Like you, I believe we are more connected with "the force" (universe, energy, God, whatever) as kids. We are more perceptive and clairvoyant, and can almost physically sense that energy that bonds all things. But as we age, we conform and forget how powerful we actually are. We begin doubting ourselves, and feel the need to reach for the closest self-help article or video because we forget our own abilities. We lose our confidence as one too many bad social interactions makes us feel like outcasts, and that we're not good enough. "Luminous beings are we. Not THIS crude matter."
Thank you so much for your comment. It’s very encouraging for me to hear this. I’m happy you can understand where I’m coming from. I still believe we can brighten our lights no matter our age and how far into the dark we may go.
So few. Especially in this generation. I thought she was just going to go on a tangent of buzzwords, but the eloquent way she spoke about things here reminded me a lot of my father. Souls like us musts stick together. Props to those who seek to understand.
May I recommend the Tao Te Ching my friend. It’s what the force is based one. It’s helped me reconnect.
Same here. I watched her for haikyuu at first, but after this, i know i have to suscribe her 😂. Shes trully precious
I feel like that too. Maybe we should make a group.
The Original Trilogy is absolutely fire. I rewatched it recently and it was amazing still (even though I've seen them like 10 times)
For me the classic trilogy and episode III are the best.
Luke tells Vader "let go of your hate" but after watching the prequels, its clear to me that what Anakin hates most is *himself* and thats not someone he can easily forgive. How could he? Poor guy.
Indeed, nobody hated Anakin more than he hated himself. It’s not as if he had intended to become a monster he just got manipulated by Palpatine. Besides everything that happened in the past wasn’t all his fault, a lot of other people among the Jedi and the Republic also failed. Yoda failed because he never allowed the Order to change, to evolve, and as a result it became too dogmatic, arrogant, and too detached. Obi Wan had failed Anakin in various ways, and the Jedi as a whole had failed the people of the galaxy by becoming too subservient to corrupt senators at the expense of the ordinary people. Palpatine fooled and manipulated everyone very skillfully. My point being is that the fall of the Old Republic and the Jedi Order was the result of a series of failings by a lot of people, coupled with Palpatine’s machinations.
YEah what a poor guy, slaughtering women and kids, enslaving millions and being partially responsible for the destruction of many worlds, and the deaths of over 100 billion beings. He's a monster who just needed a little push from Palpatine. He finally finds some humanity and selflessness at the end to save his son, but none of that makes up for his actions.
@@shugaroony Vaders actions were very cruel and evil I agree, but he redeemed himself by sacrificing himself destroying Palpatine and saving his children and the entire galaxy. The prophecy states the chosen one will bring balance to the force and Anakin did that. They just didn't say how he would do it.
@shugaroony redemption doesn't excuse your past. It never does. Part of redemption is accepting the responsibilities of your past actions.
He repaid his actions with his life. That's why he can be free now.....
@@Bakuru Technically people don't get it. That's the tragic destiny of Anakin, he was destinied to do these bad things even if he didn't want it. In Star Wars: Clone Wars, you have him on Mortis discovering that he will do that bad things by Son showing him future. He does tap into dark side but doesn't kill people, instead just refuses to leave Mortis and wants people to live him alone uses the force essentially mostly to entrap himself. In the end Father essentially makes him forget because it would disturb the prophecy. Even the biggest foreshadowing is that he was product of Darth Plageuis & Darth Sidious experiment on trying to create life and force bouncing back and creating Anakin. Anakin's father was Force itself, there was no escaping Anakin was supposed to sadly do these things. As much as it is brutal and nobody should do these things and we could call him cruel and evil. The funniest thing there was much worse personas in Star Wars than Vader like Hux even though he didn't have force, he then turned spy in Star Wars which made me laugh because they ruined his character. I would estimate Vader would influence or kill around 2-14B like Tarkin as for Hux it was 155B
Little fun fact : the name of this episode “Return of the Jedi” actually refers to the “Return & Redemption of a Jedi long thought dead!!! Anakin Skywalker
Youre such a sweetheart. Thank you for loving this as much as alot of us have over the years. Its always awesome to see someone else feel so heavily about this story.
41:46 still one of the most emotional lines in the OG star wars trilogy to me, you can feel Anakins sadness and fear with just that one sentence
I've seen this movie so many times. Your reaction made me feel emotional at the end... Much Love
Imon, I’ve gotta say. I watched Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul with you, you’ve quickly become my favorite reactor. You read into messages that I’ve never noticed before in films and shows that I’ve watched so many times! I’m not sure how someone becomes a film critic, but you would make a great one
Thank you for watching with me. I really appreciate your comment !
Oh shit there are BB and BCS reactions here? With the emotional punch I got from that ending and how instantly she understands layers of these movies, I might have to get on that
This franchise, ups and downs, have helped me feel my way through life and trauma. A lot of these movies and DEFINITELY a lot of the books have great messages and stories that make you consider and revaluate things. I love your reactions and what you said about breaking felt very raw to me. I hope you continue with the star wars shows and see more of what made our childhoods great and important.
I love your reactions so much you are so invested to the story that's why at the start I knew you would love this franchise because of it's story
your reaction is the absolute best at seeing Anakins force ghost at the end. i suspect you watched it in chronological order, i think its the best way to get that feeling u got when u saw him come back to the light
better, she did machete order
Love the understanding and compassion for Star Wars. One of the best reactions (if not, the Best) I've seen. Lost my father, just before this film came out, so it hits me hard everytime I watch it.
Though I've watched lots of reactions to the movies you got me crying along with you 😣 Watching people fall in love with Star Wars is so meaningful to me; watching you truly understand what the story is about and loving it, made my day ❤
This is the best reaction to Return of the Jedi I've seen yet! Growing up in the 80's, Star Wars was been you big part of my childhood, I'm happy you enjoyed it, Thank you for sharing!
One of the main reasons why Vader is so subservient to Palpatine is because Vader is completely dependant on his life support systems to stay alive, and Vader knows that one blast of lightning from the Emperors hands would destroy his mechanical breathing devices and instantly kill him (which is exactly what ends up happening). So he has no choice but to serve him. That's why Vader wants Luke to turn to the dark side and join him, so that he can help him destroy Palpatine.
Is that correct? I definitely feel like I need more context of Vader in the suit, because he just seems so cold blooded and ruthless. Quite different to Anakin. They are hard to connect sometimes, but when you see that connection it is great.
Thats legends.
1:01:01 Awesome reaction ! Only a true Star Wars fan will understand you !
I applaud your deep understanding of the story in such a short time. Its taken me 30 years to start to really understand it.
52:20 The music during that whole scene is just amazing. I don't know why, but it always gets me emotional.
Not only that, but the way Luke overhand-swings at Vader is the same fighting style Anakin used when he fights while fueled by his emotions. It was showed countless times through The Clone Wars show and it was showed during the Kenobi show.
The edited celebration scenes and the new music is so much better than the original. It ties everything together so well and the music feels more like a theme to the end of an era. It's enough to make a grown man cry...and that's ok. It emotionally destroys me every time. 😭
Damn James Earl Jones sounds so good in this era. Glad they get to use his voice for later projects thanks to technology.
100% support for the Machete Order. This reaction sealed it for me. So many other reactors blew a golden opportunity to see the movies in this order and so ended the story on Episode 3. What a difference, that in Episode 3 they are tears of sadness for Anakin's fall to the dark side, and in ROTJ they are tears of happiness for his redemption. THAT is how you tell a story!
yes exactly, i have been lobbying for this order for a while now
@@pianoman1857 I don't think anyone who sees this reaction can argue against Machete now. I was thinking back to when I saw ROTJ in the theater. Seeing Luke take off Vader's mask just let me see Vader for the first time. Although he was Luke's father, I didn't see Anakin Skywalker, I saw Darth Vader's face for the first time. A person who does Machete order is seeing Anakin again after all of those years. The dark side has been hard on him. But he musters up a smile and you can almost see Anakin again. And then seeing his Force ghost is a perfect ending to the saga.
@@B-a-t-m-a-n yeah i agree. The only one thing that could bother me with this order is the spoiler about Luke/Leïa filiation, but i think it’s worth the price since SW is first of all about Anakin essentially.
@@pianoman1857 I LOVE the Luke/Leia reveal in Episode 3. I've seen a reactor who didn't know. The first reveal was that they were twins, and then the reactor wondered if Luke had a brother we hadn't met yet. Instead -
"It's a girl."
"Leia!"
"WHAT!?"
I'd rather have found out like that than the lame way they kinda leaked it out and it was really no surprise to anyone. In fact, the only one that looked surprised was Luke, and then it's like, duh, there is no one else in the saga that could be his sister but Leia.
Greatest intro to any reaction ever! I loved it. I'm glad I found this channel. May the Force be with us all.
Makes it more beautiful to know in canon obi wan saw Anakins redemption and shared with him the knowledge of transferring himself within the force before dying, helping him become a force ghost.
The ROTJ ending scene hit us so hard after kenobi series
Great reaction and love the emotion you felt not only in that last ghost scene but the whole Vadar change because of how you watched them in episode order. Great to not hear "Who s that? Oh wait, is that Luke's father?" at the end. Awesome.
59:06 The music in this scene gets me every time "in the feels" as the younglings say. Tears every time no matter how often I've seen it. I saw the original "Star Wars" (no bloody "A New Hope") 1st showing opening day with my older brother. Loved the whole series for many reasons then and now.
Thank you for sharing your journey Imon - I'm enjoying it.
In the YA novel "Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi" Ryder Windham, there is a scene in which dying Anakin meets Obi-Wan's spirit in the netherworld of the Force. There, Anakin apologizes for the evils he's done and Obi-Wan forgives him, and helps him through the process of becoming a Force Ghost. It is thanks to Obi-Wan that Anakin appears to Luke as a Force Ghost at the end of the movie.
50:55 Luke be like: *It's over, father. I have the high ground!*
Vader: *Ah shit...here we go again*
When the intro to the reaction itself is the best part of the reaction, it says a lot ❤️
And Anakin was saved in the end and got to become one with the force and his old friends. You're a good and beautiful person Imon.
I want to personally thank you for reacting to Star Wars. I KNEW from watching your reactions to GOT and LOTR that you would enjoy Star Wars. Thanks for your honest reactions, I have enjoyed them immensely 😊
Just watched the series for the first time and we had the same reaction for the ending 🥺 I felt that punch in my heart and gut, yelped and wept like a baby as soon as Ani popped up!
Thank you Imon for your reaction, it’s how how feel with my personal favorite Star Wars film. I love your reaction and the machete order paid off.
I always see Luke’s quote “I am a Jedi, like my father before me,” as another way of saying “I love you father or I love my Father” considering the context of the scene. Since my own father introduced these films to me, it’s always resonated with me as a piece of him with me, so what better way of putting it in the best redemption of the series.
This is the order I will show these movies to my kids one day. Your reaction at the end proves it. Anikan appearing at the end would mean absolutely nothing without the context.
Imon I just wanna say that was probably my favorite reaction I’ve seen to this movie. These movies mean a lot to me and watching you react so emotionally and genuine was just amazing! You are such a unique and lovely soul and I appreciate you so much!
Loved hearing you talk about this movie at the end. Star Wars is a beautiful story about finding the Light inside of you no matter how much darkness is around you. And I love that it all resonated with you so much! We can always come back indeed
I think now you understand why this franchise is so important to so many people.
What a good message to start off. You understand things way deeper than most of the idiots who'll just drop hate.
Imon: "Listen to that! Do you wanna be somebody's?"
Me, ever the simp: "Yes! I wanna be y..."
Imon: "Like, that's weird!"
Me: "...younger, I wanna be younger."
As a 44 year old guy who absolutely adores this movie thankyou for making me cry. These movies are the best ever.
Luke was right about his father AND SO WAS PADME. "There's still good in him." (Her dying words).
I am in love with how genuine her reactions are and on top of that just the genuine beauty and movie choice.
Your reaction broke me Imon. I couldn’t wait for this reaction, I knew it would have a significant impact on you. Particular, the force ghosts showing up with a young Anakin although it was originally the other actor. This is more substantial in my opinion. I truly adored your reaction.
Beautiful reaction to the end of this movie. Your tears of joy was amazing and so sincere. Loved what you said after the movie. Thank you.
Ok, I love Your video reaction! Saludos desde México.
What an ending. Just rewatched Episodes 1-6 over the course of a week and the ending sequence never fails. The combination of the music, celebration, the force ghosts, everything’s perfect. The relief of anxiety can be very overwhelming lol. This is what Star Wars is all about folks.
Oh my god... this was one of the cutest reactions I've ever seen...I loved reviewing together with your emotions this memorable saga that has accompanied us in all these years of our lives...
We made it y’all
I cried the same way as a 9 year old when I saw Return of the Jedi at the cinema in 1983. Thankyou for a joyfull reaction.
I absolutely loved ur reactions to this series thank u for taking the time to appreciate this series and truly seeing the bigger picture in the series so many people see it as a nerdy sci fi lol so its refreshing to see someone see it for what it is and fall in love with the series and the journey it takes us on
You are so beautiful! Thank you for watching and sharing. I cried with you all the way :)
Padme’s last words: there is still good in him
Anakin’s last words: you were right
Gosh, you’re such a beautiful soul. I wasn’t expecting such a profound reaction.
Something I notice after many watches. Look at how Vader's face relaxes that little bit after Luke calls him father. And then a second or two later goes limp like he has died. The feeling being expressed I can't even imagine. The actor is doing an incredible job of portraying Anakin redeemed.
I loved these movies as a kid because I just thought they were cool, but as an adult there are so many powerful motifs and underlying themes that genuinely make the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker one of the greatest character arcs in fiction.
You are a wonderful person, I cried with you and your insights touched me deeply
Damn, your reaction at to the ending was a powerful one. You know this trilogy is as special as people when it evokes these kind of reactions. Great video 🥲
the song paired with anakin popping up like that, i am never ready
I know that there's a lot of controversy behind the Slave Leia outfit, but my God that awoke something in me as a kid. You're right, she looks great.
