Vader tortured them so that their pain would resonate through the force and Luke would feel it and come to him
Good catch. The majority of people miss this or do not understand it. Back in the day when plots and scripts had depth.
When you kick the wifi to try and boost the signal.
@@mathewnavarro1152😂😂😂 Dark and hilarious. 👍👍👍
@@mathewnavarro1152 Darth Wi-Fi
I made the connection while Han was being tortured. It made me think back to when Luke said "They were in pain." I was like, wow Vader is brutal and sadistic. Although, I don't think Vader touched Leia.
I remember walking out of the theater hearing people say things like, "Darth Vader's not really his father!" "You think he's lying??" Stuff like that. And yep we had to wait three years to find out.
That’s the best nerd story I’ve read so far. I RAN into the theater for episode 1 when I was 8 years old, I can’t imagine getting the magic of experiencing it live the first time around
James Earl Jones didn't believe it either while he was reading the script
What was the climate like back in 1980? How amazing was it back then compared to now?
You sound like my mother that what she said especially with the three year wait
James Earl Jones is just the voice.
The idea of JEJ squeezed into the Vader suit is hilarious though 🤣🤣🤣
If Luke and Leia dad was black they need to go on the Murray show and get a DNA test.
@@LordVolkov The guy in the Vader suit was a good sized guy, that's why they picked. It's just that when it came down to it, he didn't have the intimidating kind of voice that Vader should have
@@dansdiscourse4957 Oh I know - David Prowse's voice can be heard in Clockwork Orange. It's just funny to imagine JEJ, as big as he is, squeezed into the Vader suit. He'd be poppin out like biscuit batter 🤣🤣🤣
@@dansdiscourse4957Yep! Prowse was 6ft 6in tall and a professional weightlifter and stood almost 7 feet once he was suited up in the Vader suit. Unfortunately, his voice was not as intimidating. Enter James Earl Jones.
Everytime I hear J's unrestrained laugh I gain one day of life 😆
Exactly right 😂😅
What is the internal temperature of a Tauntaun?......... LUKE warm.
Nice
Jail. Jail for you.
Ice see what you did there.
Hey at least the joke wasn't.. forced.. 😂
Never heard that one before…
Vader out there killing people over FaceTime 🤣
If you think Leia is bad now wait till ROTJ. Every boys dream girl back in the 80's
Eh, her look in ROTJ (at least after they connect with the Eewoks) kinda makes me think of Janis Joplin for some reason and I don't say this to diminish her legacy in any way, but she's never been a looker in my eye 😂 Whether or not the comparison is justified is whatever, I can't NOT see Janis whenever I watch that movie. I'll take hair-bunned, feisty Leia any day.
Leia's costume, yeah!
@@canman87 Surely you realize he was talking about the slave outfit.
@@stanmann356 Honestly, that's not even what crossed my mind, lol. But fair play, that's definitely what OP was talking about.
Every boys dream girl -back in the 80s- in whatever year a boy watches this for the first time.
36:11 - When Leia says "I love you" to Han, he was originally supposed to respond, "I love you too." Harrison Ford improvised, "I know." It went on to become an iconic line of his, and further defined his character in such a great way.
Yeah. Harrison Ford apparently didn't think the original line was something Han would say in that situation.
The family guy spoof was awesome
@@vicegrips188 No joke. That Blue Harvest was so damn funny!
The director, Irvin, and Harrison did multiple takes of that particular scene... but neither were happy with the result of "I love you. I love you too."
Irvin was a character director, so if he felt that it wasn't genuine, then he would do a retake of the scene. I forget how MANY takes were made for that one scene... but it was a lot. I think it was somewhere in the realm of 30? I'll have to look it up again.
@@maximillianosaben The title of the Empire spoof in Family Guy is called,
Something, Something, Something Dark Side.
LOL
You wondered what it was like back then, as an eleven year old kid that saw this at the theater in 1980, the twist at the end was certainly a shock and one that most of us didn't believe until Return Of the Jedi came out. The three year speculation and anticipation might have been the longest three years of my life. lol Great reaction as always.
That's why they had Yoda confirm it so the fans would believe it's true. I was 18 when it came out and there was a lot of argument over whether Darth Vader lied or not.
I can't remember my reaction but I remember having to wait 3 years for ROTJ. Such a differnet time.
How did the movie hit with the crowd in general? Was it like this stupid lie that The Last Jedi needs time to become just as much as a classic as Empire?
@@kinghadbar The movie was well received from the fans, all three original movies were. Star Wars, better known as A New Hope now, was very well received, fans loved those first three movies, not much different than each generation that views them for the first time now. As mentioned above, it was a different time back then, we didn't have social media, we had magazines, newspapers, the small entertainment features on the nightly news and a show called Entertainment Tonight, which aired every day of the week, so we were very limited. If there was disdain out there regarding any one of those movies, I never saw it. Regarding ESB, people were on the fence whether to believe Vader was Luke's father and it was mostly people being in denial, myself included, there was no way in hell this dude is Luke's father. lol That was about the only negativity I can recall if you can call it that, it was more uncertainty than anything.
Regarding the TLJ, I'm as disappointed as any fan out there, that movie will never touch any of the first six movies. I was pretty happy when Disney bought the rights to SW because Lucas might have taken his franchise to the grave with him if not, but I'm not sure anyone could foresee what was going to happen. Like I tell some of my friends now, it's a coin flip when Disney releases anything Star Wars related if it's going to be good or not. Even the prequels, which weren't received as well as the originals, were better than this last trilogy. Disney completely ruined Luke, that was never his character, they fck'd him over, even Hamill didn't like what they did. That's a sore subject. lol I can understand killing off Solo, Ford wanted to be killed off back then too, so it made sense, but I think it's safe to say Luke is one of the biggest fan favorites of the entire franchise. They could have done so much with that character and I think that's exactly why Jon Favreau and the crew gave him what we all wanted, Luke at his apex, a big FU to Rian Johnson and Disney essentially. lol
I was 8 and remember well that long wait. I was firmly in the Vader was lying camp 😅
David Prowse was the actor for Darth Vader. Jones was brought in after shooting to voiceover dub his performance. If I remember correctly, Prowse was done dirty cause they didn't tell him they were swapping his voice out for Jones. He didn't find out until the premiere of the first film of which he brought his family and friends to watch.
It's dirty they didn't tell him, but oh man did his voice suck for Vader! Here's an example.
ua-cam.com/video/KQFho0_G1VI/v-deo.html
@@stanmann356i had no idea it was that bad!! He sound so sweet! He could have been a good guy with that voice!
@@Anwelei Chewbacca's real voice is almost as funny
ua-cam.com/video/wJY6CzC7JqA/v-deo.htmlsi=P5BhQ431zFnJG0Z3
ua-cam.com/video/FD9rlb1QAqM/v-deo.htmlsi=r5IglhdKKLhronFv
He feels like he was done dirty, but honestly he took it a lot further than he needed to. Like I think he and George Lucas never reconciled and Prowse made a whole documentary flick about how dirty the whole deal was. I mean the guy should have read the room during his screen tests, to be honest. He's not a voice actor, he's a body actor.
@@robertlombardo8437And frankly, that's show biz. They looked at the dailies, heard that crap voice, and had Jones dub it. They're supposed to put this expensive production in jeopardy to appease his ego?
They could've sacked his ungrateful azz for that alone.
But, they didn't. They kept Prowse and he became World Famous as one of the most iconic characters and The Best Villain in movie history.
If he was so butt hurt about it, he should have quit. But, as we see, Prowse sticks around for all the movies and projects attached to Vader.
On top of that, Lucas let a Lot of his bad mouthing slide until it couldn't be ignored anymore.
Prowse was mad because he wasn't invited to the SW Celebrations and other conversations. So, he would hire people to go into the cons/Celebrations to pass out flyers telling people he would be at a nearby hotel signing merch... For a huge fee.
I love Vader and Prowse did a great job as the character. But, Prowse was a backstabbing hypocrite at that point
Its not like Lando had much of a choice. When Darth Vader shows up with an Imperial Fleet, you pretty much do whatever they say. Vader made him "an offer he couldn't refuse."
But it was a great double twist in the end.
Imperial offer you can't refuse: "Do or die."
Right? What was Lando supposed to do, choose a couple of humans, a wookie, and a droid over the thousands of people in Cloud City?
LMAO @ "Golden Sheldon" 😂😂😂😂
The music is its own character in the story, and it's one of my favorite characters of the series. The piece where Yoda pulls Luke's X-Wing out of the swamp is scoring at its finest.
The Cloud City theme is 10/10 as well. Perfect mix of majestic and mysterious, with a barely-detectable ominous quality. Blows my mind that John Williams composed music that so exactly matches the emotional tone of the scenes in all 3 movies (and a whole lot of others).
John Williams don't miss!
Bro, I was 13 when my Godfather took me to see Empire, when Vader said he was Luke's father the whole theater gasped, it was all EVERYONE talked about in School on Monday. Now Boba Fett was so cool you couldn't just buy his action figure when it first came out, you had to buy three other figures or toys and Mail in the 3 UPC symbols from the back of the packages with $15 and then he would arrive Special Delivery in about three weeks. And by then C3PO had his own cereal 3POs shaped like figure eights with a taste of honey, with a cut out 3PO mask on the back of the box. There were allot of merch a few months after the first Star Wars but even before Empire came out there was plenty of stuff available.
Yup and then after Empire, they said “hey, this merchandising angle has huge profit! So let’s put a bunch of teddybears in the next one and just make the whole franchise all about selling toys to children!”
"Luke, I am your father" is one of the most common misquotes in history.
I love how Vader just walks away after the millennium falcon jumps into hyper space. That’s a type of mad
Yoda's life gem drops:
You must unlearn what you have learned.
Size matters not, only different in your mind.
Do or do not, there is no try.
Luke-"I don't believe it"...
Yoda-"and that is why you failed."
Can we take a sec to appreciate the balls on Han Solo? He took several shots at Darth Vader with ZERO hesitation. Even after torturing him, Vader refers to Han as 'Captain' Solo.
Don’t thank us for feeling like a family!!
It’s all you and the copilots man!! You make this feel like a family community!!! You take the time to read and respond to your fans, take requests, give frequent updates. You and Blank are the reason why this is a family, we thank you, Rommy, Droopy drogo, and blank for creating this fun, humble, relaxing space for Us!! Love ya JL!
We here for you always my murder whistle
Love your LOL at 'how rude!'....that 3PO moment ALWAYS cracks me up too. Also LMAO at your take on Vader 'I do whatever the fuck I want'. Got that right!
At the end, when the Millenium Falcon escapes into hyperspace, Vader doesn't kill Admiral Piett because he is preoccupied by the experience of meeting his son. Anakin was always super emotional.
19:45 If you notice her whole vibe towards Han changes after that kiss. She pretty much stopped fighting it after this scene
Because he's a pimp. He showed his pimp game.
@@russellward4624 Agreed
People always talk about how dark this movie is. I’m glad you highlighted how fun it is. There’s really good humor that isn’t necessarily comedic, but all the characters and dialogue and inventiveness of the locations have such personality. It’s charming filmmaking incarnate. I think this is one of the most fun adventure films to watch to this day.
Lando had no choice but to submit to the Empire. He planned this out so that he could escape with his friends. He wasn’t betraying them at all.
Luke actually complicated the escape more than it had to be. If Luke doesn’t show up and listens to Yoda to stay on Dagobah, Lando and the crew still escape. The scene where she is screaming it’s a trap to Luke, is where the plan gets delayed. Because of this Han is taken away by Boba Fett.
Yes, Lando had a greater responsibility, to all the people who worked for him and helped him build up the gas mine. That was the major thing on his mind.
Even though it was never specifically mentioned, I imagine Vader threatened the lives of the whole city and would have done it too. Lando knew he had no choice. In fact, I'm sure it wasn't very pleasant for the citizens that didn't escape during the evacuation.
Vader’s sad devotion to that ancient religion did not give him clairvoyance enough to realize just how clever of a scoundrel he was really dealing with.
@@zatoichi1 The Empire blew up an entire planet just to punish Leia (and to test the Death Star, but they didn't have to blow up an inhabited planet). Hell yeah, Vader would have slaughtered everyone in Cloud City if Lando didn't obey.
@@Mazra42 The gas mine was actually a valuable resource for the Empire, so Vader wouldn't have killed everyone, BUT he would've killed or done something worse for Lando and taken the city over, basically enslaving everyone. Like he mentions in the movie "It would be unfortunate if I would have to leave a garrison here." In Lando's perspective, of course that all is just as bad as Vader killing the whole city.
Golden Sheldon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When these movies came out, Darth Vader being Luke's Father was a huge secret. In fact when they were filming the scene only 3 people knew it. James Earl Jones and only when he goe the Script, Mark Hamil who plays Luke on the day of filming the reveal. And George Lucas who wrote the script. Everyone else had an alternate script. Even the actor in Vaders suit did not know. It was a massive reveal and plot twist that stunned audiences. Now the line and reveal is iconic over 40 years later. This is how you create legendary stories.
No one saw the twist ending!
It made my jaw drop when i saw this on VHS!
Shout-out to Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin. He is a horror legend. Curse of Frankenstein (1957) or Horror of Dracula (1958) are two of his films working for Hammer Horror. Would be good for October.
James Earl Jones makes a badass bad guy in Star Wars and in Conan the Barbarian.
I enjoy your videos especially because I can tell you're truly invested in the characters. Good stuff! ❤
David Prowse was Vader's Body. James Earl Jones was the Voice of Vader.
They did Prowse dirty because they didn't tell him that they Jones to voiceover dub his performance. He invited his family and friends to the first film premiere and that's when he learned that they swapped his voice for Jones.
David Prowse, a British actor and strongman was the person under Vader's costume. James Earl Jones just did his voice.
I love your content I'm spending extra money on popcorn to watch You.😂😂😂🍿🍿🍿🍿
@7:23 “Bruh, he’s good. He’s gonna be in the next movie.” 🤣
17:36
Yoda lived in exile.
The Empire thought that he was already dead.
Personally, I will always have a special love for Return of the Jedi...but I definitely believe that Empire is a better film than Return. 💯
I'm fairly certain most old school fans like this one best as well. On my top list ep 5, ep 4, rogue 1.
@@TheCrazyCanuck420Yeah, Empire and Rogue One for me. I can kinda take or leave the rest, but there's honestly just so much of an oversaturation with Star Wars content these days that I'm kinda just off of it altogether.
Yeah everybody hates on the Ewoks but there is plenty of good meat on the bone in Return of the Jedi plus it had a lot of loose ends to tie up from Empire.
Return would have been a good resolution to Empire had there been a lot less camp in the middle of it. Its not so much the Ewoks themselves but the whole indecisiveness to treat them either seriously or not. Leia talks to one of these hitherto unknown creature like a child, but it could have gone full Lord Nibbler on her and ate her. Theyre cuddly and useless, but also not to be messed with. PICK A LANE GEORGE!
If theyd either been taken seriously all the way through, like the Noghri in the Legends novels, or treated as helpless but in need of saving from the Empire, or just not been there at all, then they'd not have upset the momentum of the plot.
Empires soundtrack is so rad. Every cool moment has unique music to go with it
You laughing at 3PO was hilarious😅
3PO and R2 are the comedic core of the trilogy. Anthony Daniels is so good as 3P0!
Vader's Tie Fighter was a special version with a hyperdrive, so he could just go wherever after he got it to stop spinning.
The Executor (his personal star destroyer) was probably parked a few clicks away... Just speculating on the SW lore.
*nice skull BTW
It's 'The Executor' not the Devastator. Sorry had to correct that lol
@kbe2176
Thanks, fixed it.
Been a hot minute since I read the books, and that didn't seem right.
Carrie Fisher was a bad ass writer too. I think she wrote most of Leia's dialogue herself as well as writing work on the scripts for Hook, Last Action Hero, Lethal Weapon 3, The River Wild, The Wedding Singer and a lot of Sister Act. RIP GOAT
Her coke dealer should get some credit too
@@_BangDroid_ Super lame comment. Carrie was talented beyond your comprehension it seems. She spent her life bringing awareness to understanding mental health, after struggling to accept it in herself. As well everything she contributed to the movie and film canon of our time. And here you go making some dumb comment based on rumors and stories. People are quick to diminish the strength of women. I suggest you ask why you thought this was necessary.
@@Staceysprobablycrying Yeah it was lame. Just a lame joke that doesn't mean anything. Nothing more. It doesn't attack or diminish her and it's certainly not hate speech against women. Maybe develop a sense of humor or find another way to no be outraged at every perceived slight against your group.
@@StaceysprobablycryingIt's just a joke. Yes, we're all sad about her death. Yes, we love Star Wars. Yes, she was talented.
But, no it's not a rumor.
It's known that she was an addict. All of the young main characters on the film took drugs back then.
It was The 70s.
She was young.
She was the daughter of two famous Hollywood actors.
And now she was famous for being in one of the biggest blockbusters of the time.
Unless my memory is worse than usual, she talked And wrote about it
@@_BangDroid_Stupid
36:03 the look of love. Han is about to possibly die a painful death, and he is level headed enough to tell Chewie to stop trying to save him and protect the princess.
I'm surprised we see him alive again...oh, nevermind. Lmao
Saw this in theaters when I was 5 years old back in 1980 and it changed my life.
@36:31 Chewy wailing over losing his longtime friend makes me weep. I can feel his loss.
I've got a suggestion for a film to watch for Halloween, it may sound odd as a suggestion - Watership Down, it is a 1978 children's film that was rated U and after 45 years it has just had its rating increased to PG here in the UK. It isn't at all promoted as a horror or scary but I suspect if you watch it, you will understand why I suggested it for a horror month...
Rated U for uveryone
That movie was traumatizing as a young child.
My favorite animated movie of all time
Parental Guidance is quite the downgrade from Unwatchable. That's the the "U" means, right? ...right?
Scared the cr@p outta me as a kid that movie, still can’t watch it.
Leia : I love you
Han : I know
The whole audience : 😲😍
What makes that moment even better is that the "I know" response was improvised on the spot. The orginal script had Han respond with a typical "I love you too" but Harrison Ford was pimp among nerds so improvised "I know" because it was a better line and more along what the character of Han Solo would have said.
"Pimp among nerds"
Absolutely fantastic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember the director saying that they shot the scene with Han Solo saying I love you but it didn't come out the way the director wanted, so he told Harrison Ford to just wing it.
The "kangaroo things" are called Tauntauns, The guy in the Vader suit is named David Prowse, James Earl Jones does the Vader voice only.
Yea, this has always been my favorite. As a kid watching Star Wars and this one, my friend's and I all wanted to be Han Solo instead of Luke Skywalker. He was a rebel outlaw and his best friend is Chewbacca. The 'I know' line after Princess Leia says 'I love you', pretty much typifies Han's character. You know they wouldn't make a male character like that today.
What makes it even better is that it was an ad lid response. The script had Han just reply with a standard "I love you too" but Harrison Ford was a pimp among nerd writes so he improvised the "I know" cause he knew it was a better line and more along something Han would say.
My fave of the original trilogy for so many reasons.
So happy J you are finally getting to enjoy these classics.☺💚
I cant wait to see the reaction to:
"I Love you" "I know"
Lol
I don't understand why people find that line so funny, or a douchey thing to say. Leia thought she might never see him again (because he'd either die being frozen or be lost forever as wall decor) and wanted to make sure Han knew how she really felt all along, and that she regrets her cattiness and bickering towards him. Han saying "I know" was both him assuring her that he understands why she behaved that way (both of them being from wildly different social standings and Leia feeling she can't allow herself to have feelings for a scoundrel like Han) and that he feels the same way about her. And as Harrison Ford correctly remarked, "I love you too" wouldn't have been a very Han Solo thing to say.
@@szeddezs I heard Harrison ad-libbed the line.
J, you watching this for the first time brought back memories of the first time I saw it: my buddies and I had to leave school early, drive an hour to the ONLY theatre on Long Island that was showing it, then stand in line for four hours because there was only one screen (multiplexes weren't really a thing yet, at least there), spend two hours + in the theatre, then drive the hour home bemoaning the fact that we had to wait three years before we could see how it all worked out! You kids today don't realize how easy you have it!
"Strong with the Force, young Skywalker is." 😂
I love Yoda! 💚
Frank Oz does the voice of Yoda. He also is the voice of miss piggy, Fozzie bear, and Grover from Sesame Street.
Frank brings incredible layers to Yoda. The way he flips from fun to scary, and his disappointment in Luke is crushing.
Not to mention the puppeting. And Frank had to puppet Yoda _underneath_ the whole soundstage, so he had to memorize where Mark was in the scene and puppet blind.
Also Bert on Sesame Street.
4:02
"She's so bad man, I didn't know Carrie Fisher was like that.."
(Nobody tell him)
"She bad. I didn't know Carrie Fisher was like that."
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
"The music is on point."
John Williams' greatest soundtrack, IMO. (Although it's a possible tie with his soundtrack for "Superman: The Movie".)
Yeah this was my favorite, Han was my favorite character especially after Leia proclaimed her love and he was like, I know!! 🤣😂 Savage!!
44:40 greatest “Thanks for playin’”😂😂😂😂😂
"Han's ship ghetto af, but it be getting it"
Perfectly summarizes why the Falcon is so iconic.
Forgot the mention: the "remote control guy" was Lobot. Cybernetics are not common in Star Wars, but he is an extreme example. That device on his head is a computer wired into his brain. The computer is itself plugged into the computers that run the station, particularly the security systems.
Lando wasn't so much remote controlling him as sending a message to kick off their plan. After that, Lobot was handling all manner of things to help Lando escape.
Basically think of him as the ultimate administrator type of the station.
I guess I was 11 or 12 when I saw this in the theater and it was just as you might think. We had some comics and other literature floating around and mostly we just had to wait until 1983 for ROTJ to tell us anything definitive. Those were the days. Far, far better and simpler days. Dammit I miss the Eighties.
If you think Carrie Fisher is hot in this one, wait til Return of the Jedi.
She is never as hot as when she's being mean to Han Solo. That's just my fucked-up opinion.
You ask who is in the suit. In ‘A Clockwork Orange’ there is a large man who is an aide to the writer who’s wife has died. He was the physical Darth
Mr Colt 45🤣... I remember those ads.
The similarities between the I'm your father scene and when Mufasa show himself in the clouds for Simba in the Lion King.
Vader: Search your feelings, you know it be true!
Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son!
Mufasa: You have forgotten who you are and so you have forgotten me!
Remember who you are!
You are my son and the one true king!
James Earl Jones was just amazing.
Lando had the security patrol warn Han off when they were arriving, that's why they were firing on them with warning shots.
@40:07 David Prowse shouted “damn” and they never changed it.
Hope you are having an great and awesome ❤
Hi J! To answer your question at the end (without spoilers as you requested) there are actually tons of plays and movies where the good guy loses. Back in Ancient Greece, they would actually spoil plays beforehand by telling you if it was a “Comedy” (which means the good guy wins) or a “Tragedy” (which means the good guy loses). They had to advertise tragedies as such ahead of time so that audiences wouldn’t get mad when the good guy lost. The words have changed meaning a bit over 4500 years, but there are still a ton of tragedy movies out there. I think as you watch more non-American movies you’ll come across more tragedies, that’s the most I can say without spoiling some of the biggest ones. Looking forward to seeing you continue your movie journey!
A nice detail is Piett stepping up and tensing when the Falcon speeds off. Regardless of whose fault it is, he knows he's a dead man and he can't run away. And the look people give Vader as he walks off the bridge.
can’t wait for the Wampa scene. hope it’s the one that has him eating.
I have to disagree with you on that one. The theatrical release is so much better and that scene has way more tension when you do not see the wampa.
@@sandman_says_runrunner4701 It is better, but I think OP meant he wants to see J's grossed out reaction.
@@szeddezs Ah... well, in that case, I hope he got the reaction he was hoping for. 😁
"I'm surprised we see him alive again... Oh, nevermind" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I'm surprised we see him alive again... aw, nevermind." 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Prior to 'Empire' I didn't know there was a such possibility as a sequel. The original will always be my favorite. I was 8 1/2 first time I saw it and that movie literally changed my life. Blew my mind. Star Wars got me interested in science fiction, space travel and lasers and that got me into science and math and that eventually got me into engineering and an amazingly rewarding career. It all goes back to that movie.
JEJ is just the voice. David Prowse was in the costume. Watching all 3 in the theaters when they first came out was an incredible experience here in NYC! I was 16 when A New Hope came out.
C3 Unit: "E Choota"
C3PO: "How Rude!"
😂😂😂
The actor in the Vader suit is 6'6" British actor David Prowse who was a powerlifter and bodybuilder in the 60's.
Golden Sheldon?? I'm 💀
From now on I'll think of C3PO as that 😆
Just for that: @ 4:12 The General is wearing the Purina symbol. He's their rep on side 😁
19:37 You should see Solo A Star Wars. When Lando had the Millennium Falcon he kept it really clean.
29:48 The Millenium Falcon is a cargo ship. That's why it's so big for just a couple people. It's a Corellian YT model, basically converted into a motorhome of sorts. It was nice at one time.
I'm not sure if I ever realized the irony in having Luke, a human, hung up by his ankles from the ice cave ceiling like a side of beef in a freezer so that the wampa could eat him later. It gives me a little extra appreciation for the scene to imagine that that was a tiny bit of dark humor from George.
"Who's Your Papa?"
Lol... PAPA SMURF. 😆
While Jones voiced the role, late actor David Prowse appeared on-screen, wearing the iconic Darth Vader costume of a black mask, helmet, and floor-length cape.
“Why is your bed always unmade??”
“I make it every morning! I have no idea how it gets messy!”

British bodybuilder David Prose was inside the Vader suit in all the OT (Original Trilogy) films and James Earl Jones provided the voice via post-production looping. Frank Oz, who voiced Miss Piggy from THE MUPPET SHOW, does the voice of Yoda. The director, Irving Kushner was George Lucas's favorite instructor from UCLA Film School. Leigh Brackett, who co-wrote the film, was the name sake for the Sheriff Leigh Brackett from HALLOWEEN.
Carpenter's Halloween is my favorite film and I never knew that about Leigh Brackett. Wow. Thank you!
Frank Oz voiced AND performed Yoda, the puppet.
@@les4767 ... Yes, I left that part out. He was also the puppetier who actually operated Yoda, as well.
James Earl Jones is just the voice, David Prowse was in the costume. If you look on UA-cam you can find original footage of David doing the voice, it's very different.
I knew J was gonna jump ten feet when that mynock attaches to the window but it was still hilarious.
The dog struggling to move under the blanket at the start 😂😂
When Han flies into the asteroid field... the drama, the tension, the music-it's one of the reasons I fell in love with Star Wars and cinema in general. One of my favorite scenes of any film ever. ♥
I saw your blankets moving behind you, and I was like, “What the hell?” It was your dog just hanging out back there. So cute!😂😊
This movie takes place 3 years after the previous film.
I hope you are reading the opening text crawl at the beginning of each film. They explain what has just happened prior to the beginning of the current episode.
And between *A New Hope* and *The Empire Strikes Back* ,
1. Crix Madine and Kasan Moor defected from the Imperial and join the Rebellion.
2. The Alliance gain more fighters to the group after rescuing rebel prisoners from Kessel.
3. They take out Moff Kohl Seerdon as he preparing to attack Thyferra.
This last go at Disney world when we did all the Star Wars rides, my wife wore the leia “I love you” shirt and I wore the Han “I know” shirt. I knew there was a reason we were married
Imperial march is the dopest theme music in a movie ever made. No comparison
This was hands down my favorite movie for most of my childhood.
J, please keep laughing at golden Danny Glover knees
James Earl Jones did the voice of Vader, and David Prowse did the phsyical body -- I learnt this years later, when one of my friends was telling me about her grandad dying - it turned out her grandad was David Prowse. It blew my mind.
The music was, indeed, impeccable...courtesy of John Williams.
Idk if another comment mentions this but to help with your confusion. That tube Luke was in after Han saved him was supposed to be a Bacta Tank. Bacta (the liquid stuff in the tank) helps characters in Star Wars recover from injuries extremely quickly

I just found your channel today and I have to say, you have already become one of my favorite reactors on UA-cam.
Slasher Saturday has a nice ring to it. But, why isn’t it today - on TUESDAY!
You’re definitely my favourite UA-cam reactor mate, always make me laugh. Greetings from England
Interesting trivia piece: The reason Luke looks so banged up when he wakes up in the yeti's cave is because Mark Hamil had recently been in a car accident.
@10:47 Yep, that’s what Spider-Man was referencing in Captain America: Civil War.
My favourite movie of all time. This one has it all. What a time it was to be alive during the original trilogy release ❤😊
