Jade is here to watch Star Wars The Return of the Jedi!! ☄️
P.S. There can be UA-cam issues so we apologise if there are any scenes cut that are important!

I love your reactions. You seem very honest and I envy the feeling of watching these films for the first time. One question: What has been your favourite character so far? :)
@@luisgarcia9978 Thank you so much Luis!! I'm glad you enjoyed 😊 So far definitely all the Ewoks hahaha but I also love R2-D2 and Han Solo! They're just such fun and sassy characters!
@@MovieJoob Thank you as well for your reply! Have fun with the next episodes ;)
@@MovieJoob
any plans on reviewing "Firefly" / "Serenity"? if you do take this on, then you've GOT to watch Firefly first, then when you've completed that, watch Serenity. doing it the other way 'round would be disastrous.
the actor that plays wedge is actually ewan mcgregors uncle and got him into acting!!
It's so lovely to see a new generation taking the Star Wars journey. So glad you love the films Jade.
So happy you are enjoying watching me react to these iconic films for my first time!! I really did love them. So much more to go though so I hope you watch along with me for those too 😊
I enjoyed since my childhood (i'm of 2006, one year later the Revenge of The Sith) since prequels. So far my favorite characters are Jedi masters Ki Adi Mundi, Kit Fisto and Mace Windu and my favorite starships are Arc 170, Tie Dagger, Tri Fighter droids and Wookie Gunship
That Ewok reaction was the height of wholesome.
As others mentioned, Warwick Davis plays Wicket, the first Ewok we see on screen. He modeled many of his actions on his dog and showed his talent for physical acting from the beginning.
THE. GOODEST.
"That not ready for the burden were you." You can just hear Yoda's heart breaking because of the pressure he's put on Luke & that he's not going to be able to help his final student
Great reaction again! I watched this at the cinema when it first came out, I must’ve been about 7 years old. Life changing experience growing up with these three movies. The Emperor freaked me out though.
An exceptional ending to the trilogy.
These 3 movies have been incredible! I had so much fun!!
To this day, this is still my favorite Star Wars movie. It has everything: Action, a great story, an awesome finale with multiple epic showdowns in space and on land, there was an additional interesting villain who was not part of the Empire for once, and then there were the amazing Ewoks. Perfection!
Did you know that, it was supposed to be a Wookie planet, not ewoks?
I think time and buget made them choose ewoks.
@@jacklondon3355 I recall hearing that George made the change because, after seeing Chewie fix and pilot spacecraft and generally do well with tech, he felt showing Wookies living a primitive lifestyle no longer made sense.
@@extrasmack yes, you are correct.
George Lucas created the Ewoks because he wanted Return of the Jedi to feature a tribe of primitive creatures that bring down the technological Empire. He had originally intended the scenes to be set on the Wookiee home planet, but as the film series evolved, the Wookiees became technologically skilled.
So, do you see now what I meant about how Luke’s abandonment of his training to go to help his friends on Cloud City seemed like a mistake but was actually a forerunner to what made him ultimately the right Jedi for the job? It was his idealism and willingness to believe in the little bit of “good” he still sensed in his father (when other Jedi like Obi-Wan and Yoda had totally given up on him) that ultimately made all of the difference. Let’s be honest, there’s no way any Jedi could have beaten Vader and the Emperor together… the only way to win was to bring Vader back, and Luke was the only one who still believed that was possible.
It’s this idealism and total commitment to risking everything for the people he cared about which made Luke my favourite character.
That's such a beautiful way to put it I really like how you explained that! 😊
never thought of it that way. well said.
you're right: Vader and the Emperor and their resources are near unbeatable. they have to be taken apart from within.
"You've failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me." still gives me chills.
It's the hero's journey. temptation overcome. a willing to die for the cause.
I do love how Luke has shown a willingness to die SEVERAL times:
-trying to save Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru (for all he knows the stormtroopers are still there)
-over the first Death Star (30 fighters against THAT!)
-suicide at the gantry on Bespin (he'd rather fall to this death than join the Dark Side)
-over Endor ("soon I'll be dead. and you with me."
That's why Luke has sometimes been called Space Jesus, sacrificing himself to the end, for everyone else's benefit. It's true and completely pure goodness that wins in the end. Anything less (more selfish) would not have worked.
@@slchance8839 Yes! :) That is a perfect list of his willingness to go all the way. Thanks for putting that together. As I just wrote above, only pure goodness is able to do that. I.e. a love that exceeds the love of self. Which is a potent lesson for our real world in this day and age, when everyone is being taught to put themselves before others, and the love of self has become superbia (hubristic pride) - which is of course invisible to the one who holds it.
@@lovesandservesjesuschrist6752 Thank you for the compliment. As a kid, i idolized Luke. Sadly, as I got older, I understand (and sometimes identify with) the broken, faithless, selfish Han Solo at the Mos Eisley cantina.
If we can keep our inner Luke alive, we have a chance to improve (and save) the small moon around us.
Another great reaction Jade. The little bears are called Ewoks and the first we encountered was played by an 11 year old Warwick Davies who played Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter movies. I hope you go on and watch the prequels, they give you Anakins backstory (no spoilers from me tho). Keep up the awesome work. 👍
The funny thing about the Ewoks is that their species is never named in the movie, but back in 1983, we all knew who they were. That's the power of toys I guess.
He was only 11? Dayum I NVR knew that
Awww Ewoks! Even their name is adorable! Yeah they never mentioned their species name in the movie but I love them!! And yes I'm going to be watching them all so I hope you join me as I experience them for my first time! 😊
I'm a bit concerned for Jade's wellbeing though. If she reacts like this to the cuteness of Ewoks then I fear she may literally explode when she gets to The Mandalorian and a particular character from that series!
@@daxriley8195 I have watched The Mandalorian and absolutely love Grogu!! 🥺
Jade, Ian McDairmid’s performance as the Emperor in this film was iconic. When I was a little kid and someone said ‘respect your elders,’ I used to imagine him standing behind them and snarling, ‘or else!’
They brought him back for the prequels and he’s one of the best parts of that entire trilogy. If you enjoyed his performance at all, check out I, II, and III. He’ll make you HATE that character, and you’ll love it!
Hahahah thank you so much for the recommendation I'll look into it!
You definitely need to do the prequels. I can tell from your personality that you're going to really like them.
I'm so glad you're down to watch along with me for the prequels! I'm very excited and have no idea what to expect from them but I'm ready! 🙌
That was great! :) Glad you enjoyed it as well. Looking forward to your reactions to the prequel trilogy! :)
Yay! I did really enjoy them! I'm excited for you to join me and watch along with me for the prequels! 😊
The guy at the end is in fact Anikan skywalker when he was younger, and that is the actor that plays anikan in the prequel trilogy. I love that they added that in this version because it really ties in everything together imo
but see if one watches them in order of release, then one would be confused as to who Hayden's anakin is b/c the Anakin played by sebastian shaw is closer to the age that Vader/Anakin is when he dies... just as yoda and obi wan were.
@@FamilyGuyRoks6 I get that, but I for one saw the remaster version of return of the Jedi before watching the prequels and I still loved it.
This is why Machete Order works. They're not confused about who it is. They know exactly and then have an emotional reaction.
The ewok death scene is SO sad. as a kid I'd sob my eyes out every time. even today it make me tear up.
ikr! I have no idea why, but even as a grown adult (younger still, at nearly 20yrs old), that scene always gets to me. It's so hard watching emotion-heavy scenes for me.
Jade your reaction to this movie is my most favorite I've seen , your joy and happiness throughout the reaction just made me smile and I know if it was back in the when it came out I would want to see it with you
That is so sweet thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed watching along with me! 😊
@@MovieJoob you're welcome and now I can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the star wars movies especially rogue one my 2nd favorite star wars movies after a new hope
I remember when watching this for the first time when Han is seeing the Falcon about to leave without him and says, "I've got a funny feeling like I'm not gonna see her again." I was terrified at that because it sounded like absolutely by the book, movie script foreshadowing. I just KNEW that they were setting us up for the Falcon to be destroyed somehow. I was relieved and surprised it didn't happen.
Awesome! Can’t wait for your reactions to the Prequel Trilogy!
Yay I'm glad you're excited to watch along with me for the Prequel movies!! 😊
Binge watching you now since I found you. ❤️ A beautiful movie nerd helping me pass the time during injury. Thank you beautiful! 🙏
Awww thank you so much! I am honoured to nerd out with you any time! Thank you for being here!!
I believe I remember reading somewhere that at some point, Vader had distanced himself so far from who he had been before he became evil that he didn’t even think of himself and Anakin Skywalker as being the same person anymore. And then eventually it got to the point where he didn’t even want to think of his former self by name, instead simply calling the man he’d once been, “The Jedi.”
With that in mind, think of the title of this movie, and what Vader ultimately does. I feel like it gives the title a brand new meaning.
Your voice its like ASMR for me! Thanks and good job!
Aww that's so nice to hear thank you! 😊
awsome reaction. cant wait till the next one 👍✌️
Thank you so much!!
As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I always wanted to watch Star Wars with someone that had never seen it. I got to do that with me wife while we were still dating and 10 years later we are still watching all the new Star Wars content together. Watching these videos brought back all those good memories of showing Star Wars to my wife for the first time. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait for you to watch the rest of the movies.
This makes my heart SO happy! Thank YOU for sharing that special experience you and your wife share! May the force be with you both! ❤️
This is my favorite "Star Wars movie ever. The first "Ewok that showed up is my favorite,I had the toy with movable arms and legs. It is much awesome nostalgia for me,just so fantastic scenes that I love. I'm really happy to see you enjoy the "Ewoks just as much as I do. Awesome video "Movie Joob 🙌🏼💫
Omg that is so cuute! I'm so glad you enjoyed my reaction and felt that nostalgia!! 😊
Thanks for this videos Jade!
Thank you for watching!
Really enjoyed watching all 3 of your reactions to the greatest triology in the history of movies. I was 15 when the first one came out back in 77. Funny thing is I didn't even want to go see it. The trailors didn't look that good. My brother came home from school and dragged me to see it. I was complaining the whole 2 hours waiting in line. He kept saying I was going to love it. Well still mad at being there, as soon as that star destroyer came from on top the screen and filled up the whole screen. The sound shook the theater, I was hooked. My eyes where really big and my mouth was open. My brother looked over at me and said, "I told ya." Think of this for a moment. You know how excited you were after each movie. Couldn't wait to see the next one. Not sure how long you waited between them but we had to wait 3 long years to see the next one. I will let you in on something that very few know about this movie. The part where Luke use the force to get his lightsaber and swung it at the Emperor. Dark Vadar blocked him and everybody was thinking he was saving the Emperor. Well he was actually saving Luke. The Emperor had this dark side power called essence transfer which is the ability to transfer his conscienceness into another living person. He was very old and his body wasn't going to last much longer. When the time came and he found the right body, he could transfer himself into the new body and live on. One big catch. If the body he was transfering into wasn't strong in the force, he wouldn't have been able to keep his powers. The dark side is very hard on the human body. That is why he looked so bad. Anyway Luke was the perfect body for him. YOung and strong in the force. That is why he kept telling Luke to strike him down. If he did, he would be able to transfer into Luke and continue living on but in a young body. Vadar knew of this and that is why he blocked Luke's lightsaber. If Luke would have struck him down at that moment, in anger, he would have been lost in the dark side and the Emperor could have made the transfer. When the Emperor died, Luke was still in the light side and his death wasn't at his hands so he couldn't make the transfer. Anyway thought I would give you something about this movie that not many know about. You just began your journey here in the Star Wars universe. There are tons of novels and comicbook stories that can keep you busy for a couple of years. All of that is called the EU or expanded universe aka legends. Disney says they are not Star Wars canon but I say what is Star Wars canon is up to the individual fan. There are story after story that take place after episode 6 about Luke becoming insanely powerful, Han and Leia and their children. There are also stories of other time periods, thousands of years before what happens in these movies. New heros and villians. Just all kinds of stuff. Much of it is on audiobooks which is a great way to listen to them. Wow this went on kind of long. I just get excited to help new people in our universe learn more and more about it. Well take care and if you have any questions about anything Star Wars, please feel free to ask. I would love to tell you anything you wish to know. Keep on enjoying.
Oh my god this is so kind and awesome thank you so much!!! I can't believe you had to be dragged to it by your brother (maybe siblings can be a good thing too ;P)
Yeah I can tell the dark side clearly destroys the human's life force/body/purity based on how decrepit they look! That's so creepy as to why he wanted Luke though, it makes so much sense!
I'm so happy to be in this awesome community finally and learn more about the EU!
Thank you so much again!
@@MovieJoob My pleasure and like I said, any questions, I would be more than happy to answer them the best I can. I have a really good story about, "I am your father" thing to and would be happy to share that with you if you like. Take care always.
One of my favorites movies part of the saga. Much ❤ as always Jade
Thank you so much John!! 😊
Glad you’re on this journey, I’m loving catching up on it now! The hideous laughing thing you didn’t like in Jabba’s palace is a character named Salacious B. Crumb. He was a Kowakian monkey-lizard that Jabba employed as a court jester. If it makes you feel any better, he dies in the explosion of the sail barge.
I'm happy to see younger generation enjoying these great 80's sci-fi classics. There will be nothing like them again.
The furry folk are called Ewoks and they are the best part of this movie. They even have two spin off movies of their own. The main one, who meets Leia, is played by Warwick Davis, one of the most famous of short dudes. He was also starred in Willow and the Leprechaun movies, as well as playing a bunch of goblins in Harry Potter.
I am a huge Star Wars fan and I enjoy the videos of episodes 4,5, and this. I don't even remember what my first reaction was when I first started watching Star Wars
Very cool watch along!
I'm so glad you enjoyed!!
I really liked your sympathy for watching these movies. Greetings from Chile
I'm glad you enjoyed!! Greetings to Chile!
I remember the speeder bike toy that broke into 3 parts with a button on the back. So cool
I like many others watched Star Wars on opening night in 1977. Like a lot of other people, I came out changed forever. I could show you all of my lightsabers and voice changing Vader helmet plus 100 other things, but the best part for me is watching my granddaughters become monster fans with me. Recording them doing lightsaber duels in the yard is very special especially when they choreograph. Second to that is coming on YT to see people react that have never seen them before.
When episodes 1, 2 and 3 came out I always checked my daughters out of school for appointments at noon and we could go see them opening day at the theater. Later I was able to take my oldest granddaughter to the theaters to see 7, 8 and 9.
Not much in entertainment links a family like that. Sports maybe but most don't rewatch the games over and over. The versions you watched were remastered. They had a few things that were modified or added to 'modernize' them. I love them just as I love the originals.
The people celebrating in the streets of the city at the end would have been slaughtered because the empire just didn't give up. It made a nice scene though.
Anyways, long winded way of saying great reactions so far and I look forward to seeing the rest.
Yes, I enjoy your mug very much; especially when you're smiling.. 😉
We waited 3 years between each of these original movies. But it was worth it, of course.
Very good show ma'am 👏 👍 Keep up the terrific work 👏
Thank you so much! 😊
@@MovieJoob Right on ma'am . You do a good job 👏 👍
13:32 brave, a little sassy and also sensitive, now THAT'S a hero
awesome reaction!
Thank you very much!
Cant wait for the next ones :)
The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett are set around 5 years after Return of the Jedi, Episode 7 The Force Awakens is 30 years After Episode 6
Speaking of Wedge Antilles, there were a lot of Star Wars novels through the 80's, 90's, etc. General Wedge Antilles was leading the New Republic's X-wing fighter group to mop up the rest of the Imperial navy after Return of the Jedi.
It's a fighter pilot tradition even going back in our 20th century to put a row of little ship symbols on your plane for how many enemy ships you've shot down. Wedge got to have TWO Death Stars on his row of kills shown on his X-wing.
I just discovered you guys have a second channel. You guys work so hard holy shit.
also your impression at 10:11 nearly killed me hahaha.
Aww thank you so dang much Victor!! and hahaha I think I nailed it but... have you heard me impersonate R2's scream? I don't mean to toot my own horn but 🎺😂
@@MovieJoob Best R2 scream impression. Iconic.
@@jeremyfrost2636 I'm honoured thank you!!
Hey, Jade! I'm glad you enjoyed your experience discovering this trilogy. The Skywalker Saga constitutes a modern mythology for four generations of viewers.
I love Jabba! I get a kick out of how he's called Pizza the Hutt in "Spaceballs"! Lol. He is the pure embodiment of the id. The Hutts are the most powerful criminal cartel in the Star Wars galaxy controlling a vast portion of space outside the jurisdiction of the Core government be it Republic or Empire. They always represent a third power in the galaxy. Jabba's palace and lifestyle is modeled after Western concepts of the decadence and opulence of the cultures of the Orient during medieval and early modern history: Arab Caliphs, Persian Satraps, Ottoman Sultans, Tatar Emirs, Mongol Khans, Russian Czars and Indian Rajas. The Sail Barge is, of course, modeled after piratical swashbucklers; Jabba even has Luke walk the plank!
The large mechanical arachnids with liquid-filled glass bulbs seen stalking through Jabba's palace are actually monks of the B'omarr Order who transplant their brains into those glass bulbs filled with a nutrient solution that keeps the brain alive. The purpose of the bodily separation is so that the monks can exist free of bodily sensation in order to achieve enlightenment. It's an ascetic philosophy taken to the utter extreme!
Leia's barely-there slave outfit is one of her signature looks and is a very popular cosplay that was famously made light of on the TV show "Friends". Many impressionable pre-pubescent boys sprouted hair on their chest at the sight of her and carried a torch for the Princess well into adulthood! Lol.
Boba Fett, the dreaded bounty hunter who delivered Han to Jabba, was long rumored to have survived falling into the gullet of the Sarlacc in the non-canonical Expanded Universe. The second season of "The Mandalorian" provides a definite answer on the subject!
Femi Taylor, who played the Twi'lek dancer Jabba feeds to his pet Rancor, returned for dancing reshoots inserted into that horrific CGI musical number performed by Jabba's house band. Despite it being some 15 years later, her physique was unchanged and matched the old footage seamlessly!
The two pale elderly gents in purple robes and headgear in the Emperor's entourage are part of the Imperial Ruling Council who handle daily administrative tasks. Believe it or not, action figures were made of them and they were officially named in a canon novel called "Tarkin" by James Luceno. Their names are Janus Greejatus and Kren Blista-Vanee. They're just pasty old bureaucrats but highly sought figures for Star Wars collectors!
The Leia twist was hinted at in "Empire" when she sensed Luke from afar while he was dangling from the bottom of Bespin! Subtle sensations like that indicate that she has latent Force-sensitivity and has a connection to Luke. However, she never consciously manipulated the Force, never underwent training and never thought of herself as anything other than an Alderaanian princess which is why Vader never perceived anything amiss about her.
Warwick Davis, who played the Ewok named Wicket who first comes upon Leia, has shown up in every Star Wars movie since in a cameo! He is the franchise's lucky penny! You may know him as the star of "Willow".
Primitive guerilla fighters defending their native territory like the Ewoks have often had an advantage over a more technologically advanced, disciplined foe like the Empire. The Celts defeated the Romans, the Mongols defeated the Chinese, the Americans defeated the British, the Vietnamese defeated the Americans and the Afghans defeated the Russians.
The fish-headed Mon Calamari Rebel Admiral Ackbar is a fan favorite and his delivery of the line, "It's a trap!", became a popular meme to this day!
The Rebel pilot Wedge Antilles, played by Denis Lawson, survived two Death Star assaults and the battle on the ice world of Hoth! In the Expanded Universe that is no longer canonical, he became a legendary flight instructor for the New Republic's Flight Academy.
The CGI tweaks to the remastered "Return of the Jedi" are the most egregious in the series including that dreadful CGI musical number in Jabba's palace, a beaked Sarlacc and a young Anakin Force-ghost that replaced middle-aged Sebastian Shaw with young Hayden Christensen. However, you do get a glimpse of the city-planet Coruscant during the galaxy-wide celebration. Coruscant, the Galactic Capital, is completely industrialized from surface to core! Appearing prominently throughout the Prequel trilogy, Coruscant was most definitely inspired by Isaac Asimov's capital world of Trantor from the "Foundation" series.
If you want to know Darth Vader's story, then the Prequel Trilogy is next!
I will never get tired of watching new reactions to this amazing saga / franchise. This the weakest of the OG trilogy but still in top 5 of all the movies (from a certain point of view).
Great reaction - new subscriber here.
(And your cat reminds me of my own - Shadow)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked my reactions!! And hahaha Shadow and Butter are now Ewoks in my mind 😝
Jabbas little pet is a Kowakian monkey lizard named Salacious Crumb
IM STRUGGLING TO BREATHE HIS NAME BEING SALACIOUS CRUMB IS KILLING ME 😂😂😂
@@MovieJoob you think that's funny, the genre of music the cantina band plays is called "Jizz Wailing"
@@kwams26 O dear gawd. 😂😂
Vader's "No. NOOOO!" Was added in for the 2011 Blu-Ray release. Every version before that, he simply remains silent.
@5:30 The little laughing gremlin at Jabba's palace is named Salacious Crumb. There's a story that he actually gave Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) a panic attack from repeatedly cackling in his face in close quarters while filming multiple takes
I CANNOT HANDLE THAT HIS NAME IS SALACIOUS CRUMB IM DYING 😂
@@MovieJoob He's not a sentient being but a rather clever animal called, a kowakian monkey lizard.
The noises you make every time the Ewoks are on screen were just precious
I became a squeaky toy. I cannot help it I LUV them.
This movie makes me tear up every time. It's my favorite movie in the franchise.
I literally teared up when the Ewoks were getting hurt/dying in battle 😥❤️
Que buena reaction me encanto 👍
Hey Jade. Another great one. 😀Not only did you find a way to make a great reaction video despite UA-cam's restrictions but you really pay proper attention to the movies. Not much (if anything) gets past you. Other UA-camrs ask some stupid questions that prove they weren't watching properly. This is why you got so emotional. You are meant to. George Lucas made these movies for kids to enjoy (despite the violence). I love how much you loved the Ewoks. Funny how you initially said they looked like your cat. I have a kitten that looks like the baby Ewok. All the Ewoks were played by "little people" (dwarfs) and so was R2D2. The actor Kenny Baker was inside R2D2 and he animated the character by rocking or stomping. He couldn't do much in there, but what he did made the droid more human and likeable. The young Ewok (who met Leia and brought her back to the tribe) was named Wicket. [Wicket Wystri Warrick was a male Ewok scout and warrior on the forest moon of Endor.] The actor who played him (Warrick Davis) was about 12 or 13 when Jedi was made. He has a cameo in Episode I - The Phantom Menace. He is one of the human spectators of the Pod Race. He's the guy that points and laughs when the race starts and two racers are stuck at the start. 😀
Another of the Ewoks (actually three Ewoks) were played by Felix Silla. He was the actor who played "Cousin Itt" in the original Addams Family TV series, he also was on Star Trek.
As a kid watching this in the theater, I cried when Yoda died. Love seeing reactions to the Star Wars movies
Having Luke half in shadow while being tempted was the perfect visual way to depict his inner conflict
I love how much you love the Ewoks!
I would take a bullet for any one of them.
The Wilhelm Scream is the most famous gag of all time.
That scream is so famous it is named the Wilhelm scream. It is commonly heatd throughout Star Wats, but has been used in a lot of movies since the 2950s
I'll not leave you here, I've got to save you.
You already have, Luke.
Now that's some real Star Wars right there...
The forest that they shot forest scenes is in redwood California and the trees there are hundreds of years old and it's a very beautiful place to visit
Congrats on finishing the Original Trilogy Jade!
Looking forward to seeing how you about the Prequels (and when you inevitably get to the Clone Wars TV series).
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you're excited to watch along with me for more to come!! 🙌
@@MovieJoob you should consider playing a Star Wars game and posting it on your gaming channel in the near future.
@@Laserbeak316 I recommend Knights of the Old Republic
@@DanSolo0119 maybe something a little more simpler for now since she’s still relatively new to Star Wars.
@@Laserbeak316 So...Super Bombad Racing?
6:00 You can tell Luke’s gotten stronger since cloud city and reuniting with you know who.
The Lambda class T-4a Imperial Shuttle is a fan favorite. Personally my favorite shuttle is the Theta class T-2c Personnel Shuttle which you'll see briefly in Revenge of the Sith.
Jade can always start a Patreon and load all the watch along films. That's a way to get around YTs edits.👍
We are definitely looking for a way to have everyone watch the full episodes on a different website so we'll announce once we organise that!! 😊
As a kid this one was my favorite one and I still think it is
I completely understand why!!
Jade your absolutely adorable ☺️Your ability to show your real emotion is first of all rare these days and second of all perfect for a reaction channel! We will watch your career with great interest😉
Aww thank you so much Charlie that really means a lot to me! I'm so glad you enjoy! 😊 I'm happy you're down to watch along with me for more movies to come!!
@@MovieJoob right on..yeah you are fast becoming my favorite reactor. 😊We need more of Jade!
So I’m a movie buff (I’ve seen a metric f*ckton of them) and I know some great suggestions for your channel. Movies that I think you’ll really enjoy. Have you ever seen Forest Gump? How about Shawshank Redemption?
@@charliepepper333 I have seen Shawshank Redemption but never Forest Gump! 😊 But there are so many iconic films I've never seen so the possibilities are quite endless!!
@@MovieJoob cool yeah Shawshank is a beautiful film! Forest Gump is just one of those movies that all humans should see at least once! I’m excited for your journey on UA-cam …your going to do great!
1. Best guess is that Han was Jabba's "trophy" for about a year and a half before the rescue.
2. Vader discovered Leia as Luke's sister because he could feel it in Luke.
Luke didn't know that until just before then.
3. Luke's light sabre is green because he lost his old one along with his hand so they
decided to make it green because it worked better in the desert background landscape.
4. Everybody is freaking out because Luke and Leia kissed mostly because she was trying
to piss off Han. They didn't know they are related.
5. The "I love you. I know" was written into the script to get Leia the shot to say it to Han.
6. This was Warrick Davis'/Lead Ewok first acting gig. He was only 13.
Willow is his lead with Val Kilmer and worth a first time/share.😎
7. Obvious CGI/start/stop with the race through the forest. Nobody in their right mind would go that fast.
8. A little corn. Hans' reaction to Leia telling him Luke is her brother.
9. Jedi is plural. With Luke and Leia leading the way they can reestablish the Jedi back into the picture.
10. Ford wanted Han to die in this episode.
11. This is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After this he sold it to Disney and
everything changed. Sadly
These are such interesting facts thank you so much!! I especially agree that Leia pretty much only kissed Luke to make Han jeeelllyyyy. I love Han and Leia together 🥺😊
For another heart warmung tale may I recommend the Green Mile, its about a little field mouse. Haichi is also good.
thinking about that stunts man/woman diving in that pit!!
I recommend you to watch the comics, especially the one where Luke turns into the dark side, I don't want to spoil anything but they are amazing 👌🏼
Dark Empire?
If Ewoks were real I would 100% want one as a pet. Also congrats on 2.87K subs just a bit more til 3K you guys can do it!!💛
Hahaha I would just want to live amongst them for like a month or so! And thank you so much!! Appreciate the support as always! 🥺😊
Love watching with you for another amazing reaction from you. Please watch the prequels before the Disney movies. Thank you for the cool videos!
I'm so happy you enjoyed watching along with me!! I'm glad you're excited to watch the Prequels along with me too!
@@MovieJoob I'm excited to watch the Sequels along with you as well. (I hope you don't skip them!) 😊
@@dcmslife3772 I hope she doesn't too. A LOT of people are gonna be urging her to skip them, but I hope she doesn't listen.
22:25 The Ewok that steals the speeder bike is named Paploo. Don't worry, he survived. In my fan fic he's a senator.
This one is my personal favorite. Though most people will say Empire. But, I just love the redemption of Darth Vader. That is the real meaning of the title, BTW. Not just Luke becoming a new Jedi Knight, but also Anakin forsaking the ways of the Sith, and becoming a Jedi once again.
11:39
And there's a crap load of books where he does exactly that, and it's awesome
I love your steams as also How was Mothers day its raining a lot here qld Hope you are safe I love your Movie Streams I love you to React to Doctor Strange into the multiverse of Madness love to see more soon I love to see some Cosplay too soon
Sorry I missed your comment earlier!! Had a nice mothers day thank you, spent it with my mother of course! We did a reaction to Doctor Strange I hope you enjoy!! Hope you are well! 😊
Yayyyyyy!!!!
I loved how you immediately thought "that's how his dad looked before..." obviously meaning before he got all deformed. There's some people that disagree with the change, but it makes perfect sense in canon actually. Yes, Anakin technically came back just before he died, but that doesn't mean his normal self did. The last time he looked normal was when he was good before he turned evil. This reaction was one of my favorites.
The whole celebration scene was different too. The music was completely different in the original release, and the scenes shifting between planets never were there, since those places, at least a couple of them excluding Cloud City, were from the prequels, like Naboo and Coruscant.
Never seen anyone more smitten with the Ewoks! Knew you were gonna be devastated at 26:17 😭
You get mee!! 😥❤️
This is my favorite movie
Great reaction. The little teddy bears are called Ewoks.
I would die for these Ewoks.
Jades reaction to the Ewoks, is all I needed in life lol. Jade is such a babe lol :)
They're my new favourite creature in the Star Wars EU!! 😊 and Aww hahah thank you so much!
The imperial shuttle is my favourite ship aswell I also rate boba fetts ship the slave 1 very highly but I'm biased on that one I used to own it as a toy and a Lego set when I was young lol
4:08 Please check out the original song audiences saw in Jabba’s Palace. This is the 1997 re-release. The original song and visual fits the mood much better. Search for “Jabba’s palace original”. This would have been audiences’ first view of Jabba onscreen. Also, check out “Return of the Jedi original ending”. The face of young Anakin was pasted over a shot of the older Anakin grinning proudly at Luke.
Yep, Lucas ruined the end of the OT. 🤦♂
Oh interesting I shall check that out thank you so much!
This is The way⚡
Fun fact: the actor who played Wedge, Denis Lawson, is Ewan McGregor’s uncle :)
You could do full lengths seperately on patreon or perhaps live on twitch with a timer.
We are definitely planning to put the full videos up some time soon! Once we organise that we'll do an announcement!!
I look forward to you continuing your Star Wars journey. The prequels are a bit campy at times and there's a bit of bad writing and acting in it in comparison to the older ones but I still find them thoroughly enjoyable and I think you will too.
Thank you so much Alistair!! I hope you enjoy watching along with me for them! 😊
May I suggest breaking your release into four or five parts. Liked your review.
I'm about 99% certain that when I saw this many, many years ago, that the 3 "spirits" smiling at Luke at the end were Obi-Wan, Yoda, and his father, played by the same actor we had just seen when Luke removed his Vader mask. Wasn't it?! But here it was the kid who played the young Anakin. What the hell?! I don't know, it just seems weird and like Lucas once again fooling around with it unnecessarily just because he can, but maybe that's just me.
You need to see Alan over at Generation Tech.
He'll set you strait about Ewoks!
Only just seen this reaction but if you haven't already seen Rogue One then it's a must watch. Also, as you like Han Solo being referred to as a pirate i think you'd like Fire Fly (the series) then Serenity.
That furry creature is Wicket! His species is Ewoks. Actor who portrays Wicket was then 11 years old, Warwick Davis. Wicket was supposed to be played by another little person, Kenny Baker. Baker is main person for R2-D2 for original trilogy. Baker gotten ill, so Davis stepped in as Wicket.
Omg an actual 11 year old! Wow!! He did so amazing! Ewoks are iconic and Im obsessed with them. 😝
I knew you would love the Ewoks hahaha
You get mee!
There are actually two more Ewok (TV) movies that are no longer canon in Star Wars, called the Ewok Adventures. Some people hate them, but they left a huge impression on me when I was a kid. Down the road, here's some other movies I'd like to see you watch: Rear Window | Psycho | Alien | Aliens | Predator | Total Recall
That is so interesting thank you! And yes there are so many iconic movies I need to watch for my first time!! But I have seen the Alien movies as I am a huge fan of them and Sigourney Weaver is my queen. 👸
Caravan of Courage (1984) & The Battle for Endor (1985). Made for TV movies that got a UK theatrical release. Lucas had a very young daughter who thought Dad's job was boring, but she was a Shirley Temple fan. So he tried to make a movie she'd like. The first one did good enough to make a second one. (Made for TV movies was a low bar, and Lucasfilms already had the costumes, might as well use them.) 8 year old girl demographic was the target. Of course most fans will hate that.
@@CaptainNice I thought they were decent films. Certainly not as good as the first 3, but still good enough to get some enjoyment out of.
Return of the Jedi is my favourite movie ever
The first lesson jedi are taught is how to interpret what they "feel" from the force. Vader and Luke could tell by the "feel" kind of like animals being able to identify by smell.
I totally felt that! They just sense it in ways animals can sense smell or echo location and such. It is just one of their senses at this point! So cool
I want a rolling R2-D2 mini-bar! WHY is this not a thing?
Amen!!
@@MovieJoob Next great million dollar idea...Or, dozen-dollar idea, after we wrestle the rights away from Disney....
I think what fooled you regarding Wedge was that in Episode IV he had the call sign of 'Red Two' but that was assigned to another pilot on Hoth in Episode V.
As you now know, Wedge survives through the entire original trilogy.
You should watch the phantom mean e next!
In the end, I found peace and freedom.
a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
