Yup, it is. Luke at this point had not broadened his belief of the force. He believed in what he could feel/touch and see in relevancy to himself. But any more sight beyond that point was dim to him.

But if there's even a chance that Spock has an eternal soul, then it's my responsibility. Admiral Morrow : Yours? Kirk : As surely as if it were my very own.

1:36 In my head I think Yoda was genuinely impressed that Luke was able to lift the ship as much as he did, considering how little training he'd actually had compared to other Jedi in their heyday.
He sees that, despite how much Luke doesn't believe and doubts himself, he _does_ wield incredible power. The deep connection with the Force that the Skywalker family possesses. Yoda recognizes it, and is incredulous at how someone so blind can still begin to grasp such power. But, even with all that power, Luke's misguided mind is a poor conduit for all his power, and must be attuned to it. Yoda is so deeply disappointed when he realizes just how much attuning is still necessary.

I don't think lightsabers were ever meant to be heavy. They're weightless beams of energy. It's often stated they're incredibly difficult for traditional swordmasters to use because they throw them off balance without having the weight of a normal sword. I would argue the 'heaviness' comes from getting into bladelocks with Vader, who is ridiculously strong and heavy with his armor and cybernetics. It must feel like swinging into a wall
@@justingensel157 I doubt that. When Luke was given Anakin's lightsaber, he waved it around like a flashlight. I don't think lightsabers are meant to have much weight, and that's why it's VERY difficult to handle a lightsaber without knowledge of the Force.

@@PokemonProfessorNebula That not really right either since Rey doesn’t train for anything in any of the movies. She just knows how to do stuff. Like how she’s able to operate a boat in stormy conditions even though she’s lived on a desert planet her entire life
They could have had it if they respected what TFA built up instead of trying to mess it up. It is quite obvious; Luke was going to be something different in TLJ as why he would be wearing Jedi robes while living as a failure, Snoke was going to be Plagueis as they had similar themes and other things, etc. The new movies just lacked a coherent vision. That's their failure.
Nothing in Star Wars really holds a candle to the Originals. They’re so deep and the art direction is so magical! Either the Star Wars Original Trilogy or The Lord of the Rings Trilogy gets my vote for the best trilogy
I was around then - even after 40 years of technology advancement and acquired knowledge and expertise, we still can't create a Star Wars film that comes close to this masterpiece.
Yoda's "luminous beings" monologue. The camera angles, the ethereal, haunting music, Luke's reaction, the wonder, the magic. Simply breathtaking. "....Luminous beings are we. Not this *crude* matter," pinches Luke's shoulder. John William's Picolo music floating in the air, like The Force itself, surrounding us. Binding us. Magic. Yoda put magic into my life.
Use the force.... Yoda keeps challenging Luke. Every word teaches him and helps learn about the force...."no, no different - only in your mind...you must unlearn what you have learned."
"I don't believe it." " That is why you fail." When we are young. We want it all NOW. We don't want to wait for or work for anything. And when we can't do something we say we can't. Till someone older with more experience shows us we can. You just have to believe in yourself.
Imagine being the creator of Empire Strikes Back and finding out back then that not only would there be numerous more movies in the franchise to follow yours, but that Empire would still be the best one out of them all decades later.
I was born in 98 so I grew up and loved the Prequels more. But as I got older I stared to understand the significance and the amazing story telling if the original trilogy. Yoda teaching Luke is probably one of the best moments in cinema history
This is the first time we see on screen that the Force really is something beyond cheap tricks that strangle a person or misdirect them. Up until now relatively minor things have been attributed to the Force. Vader strangling someone; Obi Wan mind tricking Storm Troopers. These things could be simple illusions. Tricks of the mind induced by some strong minded person on a weaker one. Even Obi Wan vanishing after fighting Vader could be a trick of the mind from Luke's point of view. But to see something as physically impossible as lifting the X-Wing out of the swamp; happen right before your eyes? That's something you can't disbelieve easily.
I forget that for first time audiences this is true. We’re so inundated with the force through other movies, literature and games but this is the initial glimpse that the force is a real power. And John Williams’s score fits this display by Yoda. I miss when the Force had mystery.
Vader says the force is far more powerful than the Death Star, but it comes across as a religious belief. If Vader could have reached out and grabbed the Millennium Falcon that would have been something.
The look on Yoda’s face after he did that. It was disappointment that Luke gave up so easily. The look he gave made that line “that, is why you fail” that much more deep.
What made the originals so great was the physical closeness of the sets the scenery. There were no gigantic landscapes or space scenes. The characters were well developed and you had a feel for who they were. The prequels and sequels substituted huge CGI scenes for character development.
"We'll never get it out now." Already Luke has decided that its impossible. Already he's lost the battle. He had no faith or belief in himself that such a feat was possible. "Okay ill give it a try." "No, try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try." Yoda closes that comfortable avenue for failure. Luke attempts it, but he's only accepted that he'll try, not that he'll do. "You want the impossible." Yoda then shows him the impossible. "I don't believe it." "That, is why you failed."
Yoda is teaching Luke that if you believe you can achieve the seemingly impossible. I especially love the scene where Yoda sends Luke into the cave where he warns him that the dark side lurks in there. He tells Luke that he will not need his weapons. But Luke doesn't listen and taking them in he encounters his worst fear: Darth Vader because he took with him his weapons which were objects used in combat or what were symbolic of violence, anger, hate, that is the dark side of the force. Brilliant story by George Lucas!!
I'm still a little unsure what success would have looked like in the cave. In the show _Lost_ Hugo (Hurley) says that Luke botched his later encounter with Vader and should have talked it out with him, so he wouldn't lose his hand and we wouldn't get the Ewoks. I'm also not sure how that would have gone down. But clearly Yoda is afraid that Vader will use Luke's love of his friends to get him to surrender and turn him to the Dark Side. It's interesting that Lucas made Yoda say the line, "No, there is another," to suggest Luke might be expendable, or that he might fail and die. I guess he felt that otherwise fans would think he couldn't possibly lose, so this ups the tension. I still like to imagine a version of _Return of the Jedi_ (or its sequel) where there's "another" somewhere in the galaxy who we haven't met, maybe even his sister (before Lucas made her Leia).
Taking the lightsaber is not what caused him to see a vision of Vader. He would have seen that with or without it. The problem is how he dealt with it, his first instinct was to slice Vader's head off, something that will lead you to the dark side, just like Anakin slicing Dooku's head off did. Like he proved in Sidious' throne room, he didn't need his lightsaber to win against his father, he only had to redeem him with his love and compassion. Vader would NOT have killed his son at that point, Luke had already broken him down earlier when they spoke in Endor.
@@Synthwave89 OK, so say he went in without his weapons and encountered Darth Vader. Then what? On the one hand Yoda said he failed, probably because he was overcome by fear, anger and/or hate. But on the other the vision gave him his face in Vader's helmet. If the Dark Side was trying to seduce him, why give him that warning?
this is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history...Yoda lifting the X wing out of the swamp..stunning Luke, to John Williams epic music....i can watch it a million times and always get chills!
I think the "do or do not" quote isn't supposed to be used outside of its context. What I mean is that he's basically telling to Luke that he doesn't have to try to lift the ship, he just has to cuz he can, a space ship is no more different than a rock when you believe in the force.
I think the absolutes quote refers to people disbelieving in the possibility of something despite improbability. If Obi Wan is not Anakin’s ally then he is his enemy, and this Anakin cannot see the possibility of his own manipulation at the hands of sith. Luke cannot believe in lifting the ship even after Yoda shows him it is possible and that is why he fails. All things are possible through the force and being closed to them is why only sith deal in absolutes
The "Do or do not" quote isn't about absolutes, though. That quote is meant to teach young Jedi to believe in themselves. If you say, "I'll try," you're already thinking that you might fail. It's a sign that you don't believe in your own capabilities and, more importantly, those of the force. Such defeatism makes you unable to use the force to its full potential. That's why Yoda answered, "That's why you fail," when Luke said, "I can't believe it."
I was born the same year as the phantom menace, so as a kid I saw all the Star Wars movies (1-6) multiple times and LOVED them all. Only in the last few years however, have a come to really appreciate the originals. This trilogy has some of the best and most powerful scenes period. It manages to be funny, fun, action-packed, dramatic, and insightful. Great characters, a good story, and sensible decisions/reactions
I was watching this video with the timed comments, like I usually do, but it kept glitching, the comments strip going up and down, not staying consistent with the video, but when Master Yoda started to talk about the Force, the timed comments aligned with the video, and it never glitched again. The Force truly is a great and powerful thing…
Born in '84...My incredible parents found a babysitter for my twin and I, RETURN OF THE JEDI at least and I'm not joking you , almost every day and my mom and dad say over 100 times counting without exaggerating........we had the best cable...and when I remember one of the MAJOR (ABC, NBC, CBS) stations would literally advertise and show EMPIRE STRIKES BACK for a few hours....OMG... I remember on my 19 inch SONY Trinitron...... it was such an experience that I begged my parents to let me watch the whole film.....wow.... what an experience this was....this was one of the only HUGE films that actually were shown from the big wigs until Schindler's List....every year....omg the spectacle...but my childhood goes for Empire....
My dad taught me this lesson long before i seen the originals. He always told me there is nothing that cannot be accomplished as long as you put work, dedication and focus into everything you do. He also said we are russian, we are meant to suffer in life, but that is what makes us hard and tough, we are survivors. We are like tampered steel, made to withstand all things.
There is not one scene in any of the Disney Star Wars movies or in the Obi One series that can match the brilliance of this scene and movie ..this is what Star Wars was all about ..you felt the Force and felt what being a Jedi was all about..it was mystical.
@@mattr.1887 Agreed. Empire is the best one fro me and when i got older i cam to realize just how dark and Good Return of the Jedi was. Those were the movies for me anything Disney has done i reject.... with the exception of Rogue One and Mando season 2.
"Always with you it cannot be done" ....that hits a little too close to home, master Yoda!! Those mere seven words sum up my approach to life to a tee ! It's nice to know that Luke and I have at least one thing in common, though...even if it is defeatism 😂
Certain movies just have those life changing one liners, " that is why you fail." Hits you like the Rocky movie, where he tells his son, " that's how winning is done." Epic lines.
"When Luke gets frustrated that the Universe seems to be blocking his path to become a Jedi, he is told *point blank* that it's not the Universe who has the wrong idea."
Do or do not, there is no try. A line I use to this day. Never noticed the other, always with you what cannot be done. Luke says at the end, I don't believe it, Yoda follows with THAT IS WHY YOU FAIL. Beauty in when you believe you will achieve.
That's why I love the Force, it's clean and beautiful energy coming from everything living being and maybe it's weaker then dark side because dark side is easier, passionate, more powerful and brute force but when you master the Force then you have a stronger bond with the Force and you're more stronger not powerful like with dark side but the Force is stronger than dark side.
It’s more simply that the true power of the Light Side of the Force comes from dedication and hard work, where the Dark Side rewards impulsiveness, greed, and manipulation. All the great Jedi are so powerful because they submit to the will of the Force, and are patient in their training.
What the hell are you going on about? The dark side is an aspect of the Force lmao. It's not Force vs Dark Side. It's Light Side of the Force vs Dark Side of the Force. One Force, two sides. Basic Star Wars 101.
@@youknowwhosentyou6699 there is a dark side. Obi-Wan said Luke’s father was “seduced by the Dark Side”, and that’s why Vader “betrayed and murdered” his father _“from a certain point of view”_
Depends on the context. As a teacher, Yoda was among the greatest. As a force user, a certain number of Jedi and Sith surpassed Yoda in talent and abilities.
When Yoda said you must feel the force around you, I felt what he just said in that moment, and I still do until this day I try to feel the force around me and it is a powerful ally
Did you hear what Yoda told luke,"you must unlearn what you have learned" you learned the word "can't " what's your can't???? whatever it is unlearn it. "I don't believe it" what's yoda's response? that is why you fail. so you don't believe you can change your life. as long as that's what you believe,you never will. in order to solve the problems in your life, you have to rise above the level of thinking that created them. Nothing is to big, if you believe. Remember when Jesus said, "oh ye of little faith,wherefore didst thou doubt" Faith can move mountains,we just have to believe.
3:35 “I don’t believe it!”
“That is why you fail.”
*That’s the best line in the movie!!!*
Yup, it is. Luke at this point had not broadened his belief of the force. He believed in what he could feel/touch and see in relevancy to himself. But any more sight beyond that point was dim to him. This scene reminded me of one from Star Trek The Search For Spock:
Admiral Morrow : No. Absolutely not, Jim. You're my best officer, but I am commander, Starfleet, so I don't break rules.
Kirk : Don't quote rules to me. I'm talking about loyalty and sacrifice. One man who's died for us, another with deep emotional problems.

Kirk : You don't have to believe. I'm not even sure that I believe. But if there's even a chance that Spock has an eternal soul, then it's my responsibility.

"ConcentRAAAAATE!" -Master Yoda. I must say, that's very good advice.
I cannot stop laughing.
Yah-hoo-hoo-hooey!
@@shahaffiq5860 lol same
This movie has so much you can teach your kids, train, become good in something, have trust in yourself, never give up on something, dont fall for greed etc. and what with the new movies?
In the new ones you learn to . . . Let the past die I guess ?! Cause the past isnt here to learn from but to forget right ?! Jesus I dont know and honestly, I dont care about those movies 😂
The new movies can teach you how not to write Star Wars.
Talent without training is useless, and in a lot of cases, training is the talent. If your mind is set on something, you can do it, however when doubt in not only yourself but also your training appears, you will fall.
@@PokemonProfessorNebula That not really right either since Rey doesn’t train for anything in any of the movies. She just knows how to do stuff. Like how she’s able to operate a boat in stormy conditions even though she’s lived on a desert planet her entire life
@@MrTREEHUNTER22 Your point is valid but Imma ignore it anyways. (Still tho you do make a very good example.)
The new movies just don't have it. Yoda and his wisdom...there's nothing like it.
"The best teacher, failure is."
The new movies are created without soul.
They could have had it if they respected what TFA built up instead of trying to mess it up. It is quite obvious; Luke was going to be something different in TLJ as why he would be wearing Jedi robes while living as a failure, Snoke was going to be Plagueis as they had similar themes and other things, etc. The new movies just lacked a coherent vision. That's their failure.
Nothing in Star Wars really holds a candle to the Originals. They’re so deep and the art direction is so magical! Either the Star Wars Original Trilogy or The Lord of the Rings Trilogy gets my vote for the best trilogy
They're making a new Rey Skywalker movie.
Buy your tickets, biotches!
I was around then - even after 40 years of technology advancement and acquired knowledge and expertise, we still can't create a Star Wars film that comes close to this masterpiece.
They have lost the heart and the soul. And fear is all around.
That moment you realize 1980 puppet Yoda has aged better than 1999-2005 CGI Yoda lmao
i would argue the technology has made film makers lazy. I agree this is a masterpiece😊
you're blinded by your smoothbrain
ROTS comes close. But honestly that due to outside material.
Yoda's "luminous beings" monologue. The camera angles, the ethereal, haunting music, Luke's reaction, the wonder, the magic. Simply breathtaking.
"....Luminous beings are we.
Not this *crude* matter," pinches Luke's shoulder.
John William's Picolo music floating in the air, like The Force itself, surrounding us. Binding us.
Magic. Yoda put magic into my life.
Use the force.... Yoda keeps challenging Luke. Every word teaches him and helps learn about the force...."no, no different - only in your mind...you must unlearn what you have learned."
Hope he teaches baby Yoda the same thing
"I don't believe it."
" That is why you fail."
When we are young. We want it all NOW. We don't want to wait for or work for anything. And when we can't do something we say we can't. Till someone older with more experience shows us we can. You just have to believe in yourself.
" you must: FEEEEL the force ARROUND YOU!"
He said it with such emphasis, belief, he was feeling the force as he said it
He was.
Imagine being the creator of Empire Strikes Back and finding out back then that not only would there be numerous more movies in the franchise to follow yours, but that Empire would still be the best one out of them all decades later.
Greatest sci-fi movie of all time.
I was born in 98 so I grew up and loved the Prequels more. But as I got older I stared to understand the significance and the amazing story telling if the original trilogy. Yoda teaching Luke is probably one of the best moments in cinema history
Their exchange at 1:14 stuck with me ever since I first seen it in the Theater.
" I DON'T BELIEVE IT" " THAT IS WHY YOU FAILED" Good advice in life.
What
Its TOO true. Like, why did Yoda also end up training me in that moment lol😂
He says "fail." Small difference but it actually matters in this context.
This is the first time we see on screen that the Force really is something beyond cheap tricks that strangle a person or misdirect them.
Up until now relatively minor things have been attributed to the Force. Vader strangling someone; Obi Wan mind tricking Storm Troopers. These things could be simple illusions. Tricks of the mind induced by some strong minded person on a weaker one.
Even Obi Wan vanishing after fighting Vader could be a trick of the mind from Luke's point of view.
But to see something as physically impossible as lifting the X-Wing out of the swamp; happen right before your eyes? That's something you can't disbelieve easily.
especially when done by someone who is much older and much smaller in stature then him
I forget that for first time audiences this is true. We’re so inundated with the force through other movies, literature and games but this is the initial glimpse that the force is a real power. And John Williams’s score fits this display by Yoda. I miss when the Force had mystery.
Vader says the force is far more powerful than the Death Star, but it comes across as a religious belief. If Vader could have reached out and grabbed the Millennium Falcon that would have been something.
''do or do not, there is not try'' this quote helped me pass my exams. thanks puppet Yoda.
"Always with you it cannot be done" -Master Yoda
I've always hear it as "what", not it
2:11 is the start of one if the most beautiful monologues in Cinema history. My humble opinion.
don't forget tears in rain in blade runner
The look on Yoda’s face after he did that. It was disappointment that Luke gave up so easily. The look he gave made that line “that, is why you fail” that much more deep.
The scenery, the music, the dialogue, the magic of Star Wars. This scene is immaculate.
What made the originals so great was the physical closeness of the sets the scenery. There were no gigantic landscapes or space scenes. The characters were well developed and you had a feel for who they were. The prequels and sequels substituted huge CGI scenes for character development.
"We'll never get it out now." Already Luke has decided that its impossible. Already he's lost the battle. He had no faith or belief in himself that such a feat was possible. "Okay ill give it a try." "No, try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try." Yoda closes that comfortable avenue for failure. Luke attempts it, but he's only accepted that he'll try, not that he'll do. "You want the impossible." Yoda then shows him the impossible. "I don't believe it." "That, is why you failed."
The best scene in the whole Star Wars saga, period.
As someone who is spiritual, this is so dang true of everything Yoda’s saying.
Yoda is teaching Luke that if you believe you can achieve the seemingly impossible. I especially love the scene where Yoda sends Luke into the cave where he warns him that the dark side lurks in there. He tells Luke that he will not need his weapons. But Luke doesn't listen and taking them in he encounters his worst fear: Darth Vader because he took with him his weapons which were objects used in combat or what were symbolic of violence, anger, hate, that is the dark side of the force. Brilliant story by George Lucas!!
I'm still a little unsure what success would have looked like in the cave. In the show _Lost_ Hugo (Hurley) says that Luke botched his later encounter with Vader and should have talked it out with him, so he wouldn't lose his hand and we wouldn't get the Ewoks. I'm also not sure how that would have gone down.
But clearly Yoda is afraid that Vader will use Luke's love of his friends to get him to surrender and turn him to the Dark Side. It's interesting that Lucas made Yoda say the line, "No, there is another," to suggest Luke might be expendable, or that he might fail and die. I guess he felt that otherwise fans would think he couldn't possibly lose, so this ups the tension. I still like to imagine a version of _Return of the Jedi_ (or its sequel) where there's "another" somewhere in the galaxy who we haven't met, maybe even his sister (before Lucas made her Leia).
Taking the lightsaber is not what caused him to see a vision of Vader. He would have seen that with or without it. The problem is how he dealt with it, his first instinct was to slice Vader's head off, something that will lead you to the dark side, just like Anakin slicing Dooku's head off did. Like he proved in Sidious' throne room, he didn't need his lightsaber to win against his father, he only had to redeem him with his love and compassion. Vader would NOT have killed his son at that point, Luke had already broken him down earlier when they spoke in Endor.
@@Synthwave89 OK, so say he went in without his weapons and encountered Darth Vader. Then what?
On the one hand Yoda said he failed, probably because he was overcome by fear, anger and/or hate. But on the other the vision gave him his face in Vader's helmet. If the Dark Side was trying to seduce him, why give him that warning?
'Faith can move mountains.'
Yoda : Do or do not, there is no try
Obi : Only a Sith deals in absolute
Yoda : you little shit, listen here...
Yoda's teachings are to the point😀
amazing timeless scene
Thanks, now I’m gonna binge the old trilogy
The real world applicable spiritual wisdom in this movie has been a source of guidance in my life many times .
" I...I don't believe it! "
" That is why you fail. "
One of the greatest moments in the history of world cinema...
This is so far ahead of the new star wars films in terms of atmosphere and story telling it seems almost insulting to give them the same title
It is insulting. The prequels were also insulting.
The ORIGINAL trilogy will ALWAYS be the BEST 💯
this is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history...Yoda lifting the X wing out of the swamp..stunning Luke, to John Williams epic music....i can watch it a million times and always get chills!
“Size matters not” true wisdom by master yoda
“Only a sith deals in absolutes”
-Obi Wan
“Do or do not, there is no try”
-Grandmaster Yoda, a quote that is an absolutes
I think the "do or do not" quote isn't supposed to be used outside of its context. What I mean is that he's basically telling to Luke that he doesn't have to try to lift the ship, he just has to cuz he can, a space ship is no more different than a rock when you believe in the force.
I think the absolutes quote refers to people disbelieving in the possibility of something despite improbability.
If Obi Wan is not Anakin’s ally then he is his enemy, and this Anakin cannot see the possibility of his own manipulation at the hands of sith.
Luke cannot believe in lifting the ship even after Yoda shows him it is possible and that is why he fails.
All things are possible through the force and being closed to them is why only sith deal in absolutes
The "Do or do not" quote isn't about absolutes, though. That quote is meant to teach young Jedi to believe in themselves. If you say, "I'll try," you're already thinking that you might fail. It's a sign that you don't believe in your own capabilities and, more importantly, those of the force. Such defeatism makes you unable to use the force to its full potential. That's why Yoda answered, "That's why you fail," when Luke said, "I can't believe it."
I ate taco bell i am absolutely going to get diarrhea
He's not talking about absolutes, he's talking about excuse making
I was born the same year as the phantom menace, so as a kid I saw all the Star Wars movies (1-6) multiple times and LOVED them all. Only in the last few years however, have a come to really appreciate the originals. This trilogy has some of the best and most powerful scenes period. It manages to be funny, fun, action-packed, dramatic, and insightful. Great characters, a good story, and sensible decisions/reactions
Yoda’s wisest quote: “MINE, MINE, MINE!!!”
What made this such a great scene was the musical score. This made fans believe that there really is a force and that Yoda IS powerful
I was watching this video with the timed comments, like I usually do, but it kept glitching, the comments strip going up and down, not staying consistent with the video, but when Master Yoda started to talk about the Force, the timed comments aligned with the video, and it never glitched again.
The Force truly is a great and powerful thing…
this scene encapsulates the difference between Lucas visioon and kathleen kennedy's. lucas knows how to tell a story.
You must unlearn what you have learned.. so powerful
"NO. Do or do not. There is no try."
YES! Whooo!
That's right!! 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼💪🏼
Luke: I don't believe it
Yoda: That.. is why you fail
He was teaching him Yoda yoga
This scene always gives me chills.
I love the look on Yoda's face at 4:31. "See that right there? That's how you do it, son."
Born in '84...My incredible parents found a babysitter for my twin and I, RETURN OF THE JEDI at least and I'm not joking you , almost every day and my mom and dad say over 100 times counting without exaggerating........we had the best cable...and when I remember one of the MAJOR (ABC, NBC, CBS) stations would literally advertise and show EMPIRE STRIKES BACK for a few hours....OMG... I remember on my 19 inch SONY Trinitron...... it was such an experience that I begged my parents to let me watch the whole film.....wow.... what an experience this was....this was one of the only HUGE films that actually were shown from the big wigs until Schindler's List....every year....omg the spectacle...but my childhood goes for Empire....
Luke: I don’t believe it. 😶
Yoda: That is why you fail. 😎
I love these quiet moment that most movies today miss out on. Everything is go go go and never gives you time to think about anything.
I really like this scene because it taught me anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
Best scene in the entire Saga!
This is the heart of Star Wars.
Judge me by my size do you ? Love this line it’s not just about the force I love that it’s all tied in to our own reality
My dad taught me this lesson long before i seen the originals.
He always told me there is nothing that cannot be accomplished as long as you put work, dedication and focus into everything you do.
He also said we are russian, we are meant to suffer in life, but that is what makes us hard and tough, we are survivors. We are like tampered steel, made to withstand all things.
That pretty much sums up life in communist Russia.
There is not one scene in any of the Disney Star Wars movies or in the Obi One series that can match the brilliance of this scene and movie ..this is what Star Wars was all about ..you felt the Force and felt what being a Jedi was all about..it was mystical.
Agreed. Even the prequels were not that bad imo. Everything else though has just flat out sucked. And I don't expect that will ever change.
@@mattr.1887the prequels get too much hate. It’s sloppy, but man did we get amazing cinematography, the best soundtracks and the best worldbuilding
@@mattr.1887 Agreed. Empire is the best one fro me and when i got older i cam to realize just how dark and Good Return of the Jedi was. Those were the movies for me anything Disney has done i reject.... with the exception of Rogue One and Mando season 2.
“There is no try. Do or do not. There is no try.” I use this to inspire my team on projects. It works.
Notice the way Yoda's eyes widen when Luke looks like he might be able to lift the X-Wing out of the water?
I saw this as a child and thought Yoda was a crazy old man. But in age comes wisdom. A front is what he pulled in order to hide his true nature
Such a magical moment!
Yoda training Luke was my least favourite part of The Empire Strikes Back when I was a kid. Now as an adult it is my favourite part of the movie.
"Always with you it cannot be done" ....that hits a little too close to home, master Yoda!!
Those mere seven words sum up my approach to life to a tee ! It's nice to know that Luke and I have at least one thing in common, though...even if it is defeatism 😂
0:32 always cracks me up
this was me learning how to balance clutch and gas on my driving lessons
Literally everything Yoda says is an iconic quote
This is one of my favorite scenes in the entire saga
Certain movies just have those life changing one liners, " that is why you fail." Hits you like the Rocky movie, where he tells his son, " that's how winning is done." Epic lines.
“NO NO DIFFERENT” “Do or do not there is not try”
"When Luke gets frustrated that the Universe seems to be blocking his path to become a Jedi, he is told *point blank* that it's not the Universe who has the wrong idea."
this scene is so emotional to me, Yoda is the Greatest Jedi ever!🥲🥲
Parallels:
Yoda - Dooku
Savage - Luke
The only difference is light and the darkside.
Savage was simply weak in the force.
Miss these old classics soo much
Don't you have a DVD player
I love the beautiful irony of a puppet character telling us, "luminous beings are we, not this crude matter."
Book of Boba ep 6 officially switched the roles. Now Luke is Yoda while Grogu is Luke.
Do or do not, there is no try. A line I use to this day. Never noticed the other, always with you what cannot be done. Luke says at the end, I don't believe it, Yoda follows with THAT IS WHY YOU FAIL. Beauty in when you believe you will achieve.
"No! Try not! Do! Or do not!" Best line in ANY star wars movie
That's why I love the Force, it's clean and beautiful energy coming from everything living being and maybe it's weaker then dark side because dark side is easier, passionate, more powerful and brute force but when you master the Force then you have a stronger bond with the Force and you're more stronger not powerful like with dark side but the Force is stronger than dark side.
It’s more simply that the true power of the Light Side of the Force comes from dedication and hard work, where the Dark Side rewards impulsiveness, greed, and manipulation. All the great Jedi are so powerful because they submit to the will of the Force, and are patient in their training.
What the hell are you going on about? The dark side is an aspect of the Force lmao. It's not Force vs Dark Side. It's Light Side of the Force vs Dark Side of the Force. One Force, two sides. Basic Star Wars 101.
There is no Jedi, no sith. There is no light side, no dark side. There is only the force, and your ability to respond to it's flow.
@@youknowwhosentyou6699 there is a dark side. Obi-Wan said Luke’s father was “seduced by the Dark Side”, and that’s why Vader “betrayed and murdered” his father _“from a certain point of view”_
@@michaelbasileos the dark side is not the force. Its an abomination
Yoda the goat ❤️
Depends on the context. As a teacher, Yoda was among the greatest. As a force user, a certain number of Jedi and Sith surpassed Yoda in talent and abilities.
Yoda makes me want to seek ultimate wisdom in order to pass it on
There is no ultimate wisdom, only wisdom, what is ultimate for one person is not for another.
Luke: "I don't believe it."
Yoda: "That is why you fail."
Yoda should have kept the X wing there. That way Luke would have been forced to stay and finish his training lol
Yoda left an impact very few characters have
When Yoda said you must feel the force around you, I felt what he just said in that moment, and I still do until this day I try to feel the force around me and it is a powerful ally
Did you hear what Yoda told luke,"you must unlearn what you have learned" you learned the word "can't " what's your can't???? whatever it is unlearn it. "I don't believe it" what's yoda's response? that is why you fail. so you don't believe you can change your life. as long as that's what you believe,you never will. in order to solve the problems in your life, you have to rise above the level of thinking that created them. Nothing is to big, if you believe. Remember when Jesus said, "oh ye of little faith,wherefore didst thou doubt" Faith can move mountains,we just have to believe.
Extactly ,it is all about belief and faith
This scene gets me every single time.
"Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter" Classic Yoda
