Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.
The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", in which humans and many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist with robots (typically referred to in the films as 'droids'), who may assist them in their daily routines; space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters, to huge capital ships such as the Star Destroyers, to space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and HoloNet (internet counterpart).
The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to ours but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice.
Force-wielders are very limited in numbers in comparison to the population. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called a lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. As a result of galaxy-scaled politics (involving republics, empires, kingdoms, alliances, etc.), all this weaponry is made use of in various military conflicts during which most Star Wars material takes place. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments. Illicit activities include smuggling.
Did you like Luke's Custome in the Mando S2 Finale?? I really liked it, I honestly wish that they went with the Grand Master Luke Custome with the Tan and Brown Robes, but that's just me!
Custome? 😂
@@CantinaTalkSW Yeah, that would’ve been cool, but luke I think it was better to see him dressed in black. Luke does not conform to the old jedi mode like his father
I like that luke was luke not jake.
Nah, would have been WAY too soon, too early to have him wear that! The black robes outfit he has is spot on, because it's only a few years out from where he was in ROTJ. It makes pure sense.
Luke shouldn't have been there. His appearance was a joke
Favreau's attention to detail and understanding of the timeline is refreshing. Which i hate that its rare.
True in both parts
which one did he directed?
Luke wears 2 different outfits in RotJ. The tattoine dark robes and the death star 2 throne room suit with the white flap. Most ppl think they are the same outfit for some reason.
@@HegoDamaskllactually he just takes off the Tatooine tabbards to put his endor cloak on the final duel outfit is just underneath. In mando he’s wearing his rotj belt with prequel jedi outfit just all black which is also different from rotj just super similar
@@HegoDamaskll it is the same outfit. Remove the outer robes (not the cloak) and its the black suit underneath. The flap came undone during the fight.
"I was an usher in the movie theatre when it was playing" - wow what a journey
“I was an usher, so I pretty much know everything there is to know about writing and directing.”
I had no idea he was that old.
@@Salsa_SharkYou must be insecure if you took it like that. He just meant he was a fan and grew up close to that era of Star Wars.
To end up making such low-tier Star Wars content that it gets dumped on streaming haha.
@@ed1rko17 then dont watch it?
"I am a Jedi, like my father before me." I love Luke
That explains Luke almost using the Youngling Massacre technique on his own nephew
@@justinnyugen7015 lol true though.
I gave up being a Jedi like my father before me
"I am a Jedi, like my father before me." - proceeds to forces hoke 2 random people, and slay a kid in his sleep. Yep.
He also absolutely destroys in hallway combat, just like his father before him.
I like that he's in his ROTJ jedi knight outfit. It kind of scales the timeline better, telling us that this era of the new republic is still pretty fresh and, well, new.
Completely agree, now obviously it would’ve been so cool to see Luke in his tan and brown robes from legends, but I’m happy with this
@@CantinaTalkSWI always thought the robe was black, learned something new. I love the drawing of Luke with his gun belt/holster/blaster and lightsaber
It’s actually not exactly the same as rotj just very reminiscent. The actual outfit is the same as the prequel Jedi like obi wan just in Luke’s all black, also in rotj Luke’s undershirt is more of a suit like you see in final duel but in mando he’s wearing jedi garbs underneath, great attention to detail and the perfect evolution for Luke in my opinion!
The white flap at the end of RotJ is to symbolize that underneath the darkness, there is light.
Glad he understood this
Return of the Jedi Luke is BAD ASS 💯💙
The fact that he said the collective memory of the people makes me trust him so much more. It also makes me realize why you such a great fit to work in the Star wars universe
Need more Favreau talking about SW
That we do
Could listen to him and Sam Witwer talk SW for hours.
Need Favreau to write and direct a Star Wars movie.
That made me so freaking happy when Luke showed up. Wow. One of the best moments in Star Wars history.
"That's not part of the story for us." What a quote
And it was magnificent!!! The scene that saved 2020!
Agreed!
One of the best scenes ever filmed. Thank you for giving the fans the Luke Skywalker we could only read about and dream of.
That black robe and garb for Luke in ROTJ was incredibly important and absolutely worked for his character. And then that deleted scene of him messing with his Saber, you saw him change the green light to red, then green again. Before they “explained” how they work, I remember me and my friends always thought that was him choosing the dark side/red saber for a second, then changing it back.
All very true!
You know, that actor talking about the outfit also plays as Paz Vizla! (The big mandolorian that always had trouble with Din Jarin and died in S3)
Also voiced pre vizsla in clone wars.
@@CantinaTalkSWI'm still wondering when we're gonna see "Post Viszla"... But I guess we'll have to see just "Viszla" first before that happens.
No idea if I'm spelling that right. I don't think it is.
His name is Jon Favreau and he also directed The Mandolarian.
Hes the Director
Favreau's attention to detail to be accurate with Star Wars lore did not go unnoticed by fans, and was celebrated. If only the rest of Lucasfilm showed as much respect to the fans and the source material.
Agreed. There wouldn’t be these so-called haters that apparently bash the Acolyte because it’s all female and blacks. If they were to be lore accurate with great writing, people would love the show.
@@backspaceninja9860 I'm not sure that's true.
You can probably find an example for anything;
The Mandalorian? Terribly written. People love it.
Fallout? Terribly written, lore breaking AND women and blacks? People love it too.
Andor? Well written, women and blacks? Average Mandalorian fan hates it and considers it boring.
The Acolyte? Terribly written, lore breaking, women and blacks? Everyone hates it.
Only positive discourse seems to be the deciding factor. People like it because people like it. The average viewer is not looking at writing quality.
Why can’t this man be the head of Star Wars instead of Kathleen Kennedy? He knows so much more about the lore and intentions of the original creators, as well as actually cares about everything going on. 😢
Wish I knew man
Because he creates Star wars that feels like Star wars and not trash for a "modern audience".
THIS!
He kind of is. Filoni is now head of everything creative. He's the new George lucas and John works directly with him. Kathleen has been given the positon of "President" e.g shes now a glorified banktellar.
She just moves money around and has no creative oversight other than budget and timeline management.
@@undisclosed_branding9714 this is true, but that doesn’t fully go into effect until December
Idk if people knew this but the early suit of Starkiller from The Force Unleashed game, came from The Return Of the Jedi Concept art of Luke in his early design.
Yupppp
Gotta love this thought process and how they DID THE OPPOSITE with Ackudyke
Great costume.... Wonderful eposode Jon !!!! ❤❤❤❤
That it was!
That moment red 5 comes on approach to land in the hangar and I realized what was happening may be the best moment for me from the entire Star Wars universe. Such a great episode
agreed
Those 2 episodes are some of the best TV ever. The episode prior and the finale were everything that Star Wars should be.
@@marcusmcgill4423what’s it called so I can watch it
It's meaningless slop.
If the sequels didn't obliterate Luke, nobody would praise Luke Skinwalker. People would see The Mandalorian for the trash that it is. I'm sure glad we have this 3/10 series after those 2/10 movies.
Imagine if they did anything with his character. Imagine if they didn't completely reverse the plot they spent 5 minutes building to in a random episode of another show. Imagine if he even had any sort of a conversation with Ahsoka when we see them together.
Luke in Mandalorian is barely better than Boba Fett in the book of.
@@alicea3421 What are you talking about? People praised Luke all the time. Long before his return in The Mandalorian or the sequel trilogy. Especially those of us who read a lot of the EU content and were a fan of it.
I’m so glad they have an actual fan running marvel and now some of Star Wars
Favreau is absolutely spot on as a director/actor/producer. The courage it takes to stand up to a corporate giant like Disney to say "hey, this needs to be represented to stay true to the lore. "You guys didn't create this and just because you bought it doesn't mean you get to twist it all around". There is so much more that can still be done with Lukes character arc, costume representation, and filling in the history up until TLJ. I applaud his attention to detail and representation of all of Star wars lore, they couldn't have picked a better man for the job! I'm looking forward to the next ten years. Namaste! Synchronicity 102386
I love how Luke appears to fight with rage in Mando. Crushing that droid was amazing.
And yet it's such a controlled rage. It's like, the most he goes to is "bothered." He never shows it. But Luke never lets it cross over into the malicious. So freaking cool.
So badass
Agreed!
he's a such a genius storyteller, how did Disney not use him more and people like him, what a shame. He got my whole family young old, wives, back into Star Wars, now all the new stuff my family gets mad if I bring it up
I think even though the black for him was to make him ambiguous, it still serves a purpose post RotJ as more of an homage. Like he honours his father who was always clad in dark colours even before Vader. Luke never shyed away from what his family was which is ultimately what led to its redemption.
Yes!! I always assumed Luke would wear black, as an homage to his father, ti everything his father went through, and the temptation they both faced - and ultimately resisted and grew through. Just...a really powerful symbol
@@meganofsherwood3665 Perfect interpretation!
I agree with that, but I still think that Luke should evolve into the wisest Master at some point, and he would wear his tan robe, showing that he's a true light sider
@@idiocrat3744 perhaps using the dark and light side is the evolution?
@@canobenitez That's not what balance is. While acknowledging the darker part of yours, you shouldn't use the dark side because it's your uncivilized, selfish part that craves power and domination.
It's his best look in my opinion with the green light saber he made himself with a forbidden crystal 💚
John should be the one in charge of making the movies. Dude is literally the biggest Star Wars fan in Hollywood.
Fav really needs to take control of Star Wars! He’s a fan, he gets it and won’t break it ❤
Absolutely the right call. Luke in all black is so important!
This is what we need. This is what we want. A person who knows star wars, working on star wars.
Luke's return and hallway fight is the greatest moment in Disney Star Wars.
A fan theory from before the prequels came out was that it was thought that Luke's black outfit had been Obi-Wan's "Jedi Uniform" from the Clone Wars and Luke found it in Kenobi's hut when he was building his green lightsaber from schematics.
I remember seeing this guy in a movie on HBO when I was a kid called PCU. Had Jeremy Piven in it too.
I remember one of, I believe his first appearance was the movie "RUDY", with a very young Sean Astin, post Goonies. Also loved him as the wild ass unhinged yet likeable football player in the movie "The Replacements ", starring Keanu Reeves!
@@TBN-wh7nx Dude I totally forgot about that movie Rudy!
I like that they stuck with the same Luke costume in Mandalorian S2 finale episode.
In Legends, Luke rocked the black suit for a long time and even added black robes to it. Check out the Heir to the Empire comics. He looks awesome although they made his lightsaber blue because of the original RotJ poster.
Kennedy would say, “Let’s make it all the colors of the rainbow!”
"I was an usher in the movie theater when it was playing so I saw it a lot", he said, apparently not realizing the movie has been on VHS, DVD, and BR for the last 40 years and that anyone could, in fact, see it a lot.
The journalist should've asked him:
Can you parallel park the millenium falcon ?
I would kill for a Favreau inspired Luke story
I never ever thought that Luke would turn to the dark side. Not once.
This is how Fav saved a shred of SW.
CONTINUITY!
This guy is the personification of soulless. Definitely one of the directors of all time
It feels like the only people apart from the fans, that still understand what star wars is all about, is Jon Favreau and Sam Witwer
Imagine if the sequels directors had the understanding and appreciation of the prior films as Favreau.
Literally more thought put into Luke’s clothing color than the entire script for the acolyte, book of boba fett and season 3 of mando
I've seen a headcanon that the cloak he wears in the s2 finale was Vader's that he kept and I absolutely love that idea
Wow, I had no idea Jon Favreau was playing Usher in 1983! 😮
As an usher, my respect for you strengthens with time, sir 🫡
Perfect Loop
Idgaf about the council, if I'm a Jedi I'm wearing black robes! It just too cool
COVID...Divorce...everything. yes, this scene was much needed and appreciated.
That Luke scene in Mando was like a dream❤
I wish he was wearing Obi Wan's style of robes as he did in Legends S2.
Oh Jon, why didn't Lucasfilm have foresight to give you the Sequel trilogy? We know you would have treated the Skywalkers with respect. 😢
You would think after Iron Man 1 they would have understood. The second Iron Man 2 came around the studio heavily interfered hard. That's also what happened with the book of boba and mando s3. They just need to leave them be.
@@CantinaTalkSW Iron Man 2 is my guilty pleasure but you are absolutely right.
@@amarcellus1714 it’s the iron man movie that I’ve seen the most times (easily over 50 lol)
I do remember reading he was in the running for force awakens
Still blows my mind how Disney never realized what a gold mine they had with Jon….
Jon needs to be the head of all Star Wars productions for Disney. He's the only one over there that has any modicum of respect for the lore and quality. The Acolyte is an unmitigated disaster.
what a rancid take
@@andrewharjula6027 I hope you mean because he's just as useless and not that the others have any value.
Favreau is a clown like the rest of them.
EXCELLENT DECISION!
That it was
I still prefer the brown but the black is good and John and his team did great
ROTJ Luke is so badass. Ive always loved the moral ambiguity at the beginning of the film, indiscriminately killing those guards reminds me of the types of slightly “evil” things Anakin did during the clone wars show
That was a neat scene. I’d be interested to know the canon Force ability that allows Luke to find Grogu…
Echoes in the Force. Similar to Cal Kestis. Grogu called out to the Force on Tython. Luke sensed it like a beacon I suppose. It also reminds me of the times when Vader would sense someone's presence in the Force and sometimes how strong the Force was within that person, too.
@@marcusmcgill4423 like when he also felt where was vader
Finally a person who understands star wars
I like Jon Favreau, even though I refuse to watch anything Disney anymore. I appreciate that he respects his source material and keeps it entertaining. Unlike some of these activist writers who want to ram their politics down our throats.
The cloak is brown, but the suit looks dark greyish to me.
The actual colours are interesting when you find out. 'Like how Darth Vader's helmet is actually a combination of black and grey so that you get to see details and contours, better.
We need Favreu back at star wars
I subscribe to the idea that the Jedi would never use a force choke, so instead Luke is actually using a Jedi mind trick to make the gamorreans think they are choking and by this point Luke is also powerful enough to do the mind trick without suggesting it with words. Sword of the same way he could lift 3PO in the air just by thinking about it and not actually gesturing towards the chair he's sitting in.
Thanks Happy
lol
Now THIS MAN should've made the sequel trilogy!!! With GL involved in the creativity aspects! That's who we should've had make them!! JON FAV KNOWS!
The "brown that is almost black" also works as a nod to Luke *almost* being a full-fledged Jedi Knight. Think of a modern martial arts student: they wear brown belts before they become black belts. He's almost mastered the Force, but not yet. By the end of the film he's in all black, having mastered the Dark Side and overcome it.
Luke is a new breed of Jedi when that's not afraid to use the powers of the sith but not fall completely to the dark
Favreau amazing writing
They should just give Star Wars to this guy and let him and his team cook without any rush for a few years. Mando season 1 and 2 were perfect.
dreaming of a star wars universe where he had creative control over everything post ROS
The perfect loop doesn’t ex-
We need more knowledgable fans to direct and consult like Favreau
uninformed comment.
And you did an amazing job 🎉
Jon remembers that Ushers go into the theatre before and after the movie right 😂
Mark Hamill is such a raging queen.
It’s actually not exactly the same as rotj just very reminiscent. The actual outfit is the same as the prequel Jedi like obi wan just in Luke’s all black, also in rotj Luke’s undershirt is more of a suit like you see in final duel but in mando he’s wearing jedi garbs underneath, great attention to detail and the perfect evolution for Luke in my opinion! Jon did a great job for sure
Remember that Anakin wore darker clothes and still was good, until he made his choice to turn to the dark side. Luke is his own man in ROTJ, but he’s come to terms that Anakin Skywalker was once his father. But on the inside flap of his uniform, which is opened when Luke takes Vader’s mask off in the end, Luke’s clothing is white. In a twisted kind of way, it’s eerily similar to his father, who’s skin has become a faded grey-ish white as well, despite his severe injuries and time in the bacta tanks. It represents the good in both of them, despite being thrown a bad hand by Palpatine.
Honestly black as a color for a hero is an abstract choice and one i support because Luke looks amazing in black
Can you imagine if someone deviated from our collective memory of Luke?!?
I’m 32 and wish I had this video when I was 18. Nobody gave me any fucking clue what to do so I just did the “safe” path and listened to everybody else and went to school and that was the absolute worst possible thing I could have done. Pretty much hate my life right now because I just kept doing the safe thing instead of pursuing what was right for me
Good choice
That it was
Amazing how someone who understands the character and respects the lore creates a compelling storyline that resonates with the audience...it's almost like knowing the source material makes a difference 🤔
🙄
Imagine going from an usher in a movie theater playing Star Wars to directing Star Wars
"Deviate from people's collective memory"
Lucasfilm be doin a lot of that lately
love this
Even the 12" Luke action figure from Hasbro had a brown tunic.
Yep!!
Finally "Luke's look"
John should directed Acolyte. It would’ve been so much better
How to think in the fans while producing something for a legacy saga that you loved and know. Take your notes Disney.
Luke’s return was a high water mark for Disney starwars, but it’s receded to the depths of the ocean now
Favreau paid attention to detail... nuff said.
In short, he did the ROTJ costume, like dozens of video games did before him.
Translation: "The black costume does not communicate the story we are trying to tell but we put it in anyways just to stroke people's nostalgia"
I think new robes like those ones Obi Wan Kenobi wore would better show his growth as Jedi personally.
They should have just used luke’s body double actor as the real actor. He looks enough like Luke that nobody would really care and it would mean the character could be used much more visibly/creatively in this time period rather than a stilted cameo every other season of D+
Really? Luke's robe isn't black in _ROTJ?_ Maybe it was the lighting in the shots or something, IDK
Yea, it was brown but was made to look black
