Epic games didnt make jedi fallen order, ea did
Its cheaper on steam
Thank you for saying "by accident" and not "on accident".
bruh jedi fallen order is from EA not epic games...... wow
You should make a Easter egg video on fallen order
20:18 Luke: it's over I have the high ground
Vader: I ain't falling for that again! *throws lightsaber*

You were like my father anakin, I loved you.
You underestimated my power!
You OVERestimated my power

Tysin Gutierrez oof
Can anyone else barely hear the actual movie clips? 😂😂
Agreed. Kind of an issue to get full context..
Me too you had to turn up all the way to understand
I'm listening to it on my TV I had to fully get all the way up to my TV and turn one ear to it just to hear it
_yes yes verde is green _arch lord
Vibrant Verde yeah
You forgot to mention that at the end of the movie, Luke's black outfit unbuckles and it's shown that under the darkness, there was always white/lightness. Great video and channel overall!
they actually made that it's own outfit later on as well. Apparently some thought it looked cool (which it kinda does)
Nice catch!
or simply
'luke-inside is not what he wears/is on the outside' - good stuff!
literally mentioned it at440
@@michaelhodges250 No he didn't. He talked about how the colors changed from movie to movie. What the OP is talking about is near the end when the top button or fastener unlatched and folds forward, showing a "triangle" of light material.
“Star Wars Return of the Jedi is a family film”
Leia in a metal bikini : I’m gonna stop you right there
Vader:NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Families include 15 year old boys, little kids don't notice sexy
Agreeing with Adam. I didn't notice anything watching the movie in the 80s.
I cant watch this movie in front of people
My parents always be sure to look down when I watch this movie 😂
Ewoks are not teddy bears, battlefront 2 has shown me that they are killing machines with no mercy
True that pal😂

Isn't implied somewhere that they feasted on stormteooper during that end scene celebration?
@@xeroabyssdclxvi2570 they also tried to eat han luke 3cpo and r2d2 too
xeroabyss DCLXVI yes it is, in a Star Wars comic
I love the parallel of Luke being hit by the Emperor's lightning & Vaders choice to turn to the light vs Windu being hit by lightning & it being Vaders choice to turn to the dark side

Another detail is how Luke is the only one present at Anikan’s funeral. Showing that he’s the only one who truly cared.
@Darren Mcclean but @RGkong said that Luke was the only one to * care * not to * know *

Ah yes the famous "anikan"
@@Itzmeh0507 ah yes the famous "ashoka" bruh
@@jackj9816 truly. Imagine if Hitler had a son, and something like this occurred Hitler was older than Anakin by the way, and keep in mind Vader (The Empire) killed more than Hitler did.
5:37 - Actually the choice of the saber being green was because during filming there was concern that you couldn't actually see the blue saber behind the blue sky background - so they made it green to contrast the background.
Yeah
I've heard both reasons
So why wasnt it always green then?
@@twinslive. Because it being blue wasn't a problem in the first two films?
@@robertmckay5325 you do know what colour snow is right?
I think the young Anakin at the end is one of my favorite changes made to the original trilogy. I see that Anakin as the Clone Wars Anakin and as the person post-Vader Anakin wishes he had always been.
Totally agree
No it is the worst change period. All the other Force ghost are of who they were at death. Young Anakin makes no sense in any way.
@@kfrews Force ghosts have the ability to look whatever age they want in cannon. Anakin wanted to look like himself before he killed Dooku and fell into Palpatine's trap. That's why he chose that Anakin.
I see how you could like it but in my opinion I would much rather the older anakin showing his wise state once he passed on.
@@loganwurtz8059 That's completely fair.
Surprised he never mentioned the ewoks used stormtrooper helmets as drums lol
They ate the storm troopers just as they were going to do with the heros when they were first captured.
Teatro Grottesco Thats metal AF
@@coscormenendez7042 Nu. a lost group of stormtroopers who didn't make it to the evac shuttle in time were aimlessly exploring the planet. seeing how helpless they were, the ewoks helped them map out the surface but translating basic landmarks. in return, the troopers gave them their helmets, not intending them to be used as drums, but because they just thought the ewoks looked hella cute waddling and bumping around in them. the troopers eventually made it to an outpost and signaled for a pickup.
@@Subreon similar to ewok hunt
"Yub Nub"!
Can we also discuss that when Luke is at the top of the steps (the high ground) Vader says "Obi wan taught you well"
20:45 That Transition was PERFRCT
"There is another" meant baby yoda. this is my personal Canon
Billy Stanford he says there’s another skywalker. 101 likes for this nonsense?

Woooosh
It's true, I thought Darth Vader was lying to Luke about being his father when I saw Empire in the theater as a kid.
We all did. It was a raging controversy. One rumor I heard was that Vader was a clone of Anakin.
Everyone did. It was debated right up to and after the release of Return of the Jedi
Valence Model I said the same thing when he mentioned it and I’m glad he did mention something about it. “Episode V” was a big deal because everyone was scrambling to figure out if we missed stories or movies lol We didn’t have the internet to help us out so between that and the father “lie”, everyone was even more excited to see ROTJ to solve the arguments
I did too! I thought Vader was a robot or something and didn't understand how he could be Luke's father. Of course I understood more with the next movie he was really a human under there.
18:30 Ahhh, my favorite part.
It's a trap !!!
Please do an all easter eggs video for the original Clone Wars micro series.
Also a creepy fact about Jabba's palace after Return of the Jedi, the weird spider robots seen in the background (and also rideable in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga) originally built the palace and took it back after the events of the Tatooine plot where they forcibly converted several of Jabba's remaining mercenaries to their side... which involved removing their brains from their bodies because Star Wars is dark like that.
Dope
its legends continuity
@@joey2891 I know, both things I mentioned are.
Tales from Jabbas palace is an amazing book
shout out to the lore master who made a video about this
check his channel out lots of great star wars content
It was weird at first but I now prefer the Hayden ghost. It's how he looked before his fall to the dark side. Force ghosts choose how they want to appear and if that's how George wants it then Disney has no right to change it.
I think Force ghosts appear as what they looked like when they were closest to the force
IMO neither version is really accurate. It should be Shaw’s version but with the scarred face because after he was redeemed Anakin was still physically scarred and burned
As a viewer, I doubt that I would have made a connection between Shaw’s version and Vader because of how scarred, gray, and still concealed he was as Vader. It makes sense in the continuity to depict Hayden as the Jedi version of anakin, and it definitely would have been more confusing to leave it as Shaw
@@CipherionYT exactly. It's puzzling to me all the backlash this has gotten
Still rather have original version of revenge of jedi .Return had to many cuts in the film. And would like chewbacca character, than ewoks
"There's only one Return, and it's not of the King, but of the Jedi." - Randall Graves
It was actually originally called Return of the Jedi, Lawrence Kasdan told Lucas it was a weak title, so they changed it to Revenge. Then shortly before release they reverted back.
It is known as return of jedi
@@omega_sam Well done? Thats what he said
James Tracey you don’t need to use the word “back” when you say revert / reverted. Think about it
@@nickm8874 double negative......flawed method
I AM INEVITABLE I think it’s more of a tautology. Either way, it winds me up when people say it
I didn’t mind the change to Hayden because technically that old version of Shaw never existed. So in my head canon (never having that attachment to what it was before the switch) it would either be younger Anakin or what we saw when Luke took the mask off
''He can force kick the air''! The deadliest trick in a jedi's arsenal! lolll still laughing
I’m so glad I still have my old Star Wars laserdiscs.
Is it those big 12" dvd things that came out in the early 90's? I hear that a good chunk of the "Specialized Editions" came from these.
Jaybird Wedbetter they are 12” discs, not dvds, and they’ve been around since the late 70s. I purchased mine in the early 90s. These contain the original theatrical release of the films.
I have my boxed set of Letterbox Editions VHS tapes. I plan to be buried with them.
Lando clapping immediately makes me think of Mr Sunday Movies
YES!

The clips from the movie were SUPER quiet.

No

You said this in a previous video and in this one but the "NOOOOO" in Revenge Of The Sith was not because Vader thought Luke was dead, it was because Padme was dead and The Emperor tricked him into thinking Vader killed Padme in anger.
The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some considered to be unnatural

The CGI Band is the biggest crime of the Special Editions
No. The Jabba scene in ANH is the biggest offense to story.
Greedo shooting...at all.
@@benwillis5840 look at this LIPS
Actually the reason Luke’s lightsaber wasn’t blue is because it was going to bled it with the sky
6:36 You literally could not be more right about this
The score playing during the Vader/ Luke tiff reaches its ultimate emotional peak when Luke leaps at Vader after Vader threatens Leia, I love that part, so emotional.
I’ve always found it interesting how Luke’s lightsaber is green, mirroring the lasers from all the tie fighters, while Darth Vader’s lightsaber is red, mirroring the lasers from all the rebel ships
Anakin from Episode 3 was perfect bc that represents who he really was/is. Anakin was never really a full fledged Jedi. He was always unstable bc of his past/childhood. That was his peak, so it’s only right that it was him.
Commander Swagvala also the old version of Anakin never existed, so it wouldn’t of made sense. Their force ghosts are what they looked like when they died as jedi
@@ahmanster6998 what
@@wasupman1074 the original Anakin force ghost. He never actually looked like that
@@ahmanster6998 I was meaning that your comment didnt make sense
@@wasupman1074 it does? He's saying that all the force ghosts that come back look like their jedi appearances when they effectively died. And since Anakin was "killed" by Vader in episode 3, he looks like Hayden. Thats why every other force ghost looks the age they died at like Obi-wan and yoda
Respawn Entertainment made Jedi: Fallen Order, not Epic Games.
But it in epic store I guess
Yeah I was kind of like "Ummmmm, what?"
Sir Dumpy thank you
dav da fish boi because if you bought it from the store for a limited time you got a free stormtrooper skin
@@Seems12345 I know
(In the trailer of the rise of skywalker)
When C-3PO says taken one last look at my friends maybe they are uplouding is memories from the prequels and so he will forget Rey and the others....
Actually It might be really true
5:45 I heard that they made it green because the blue one wasn’t visible enough in the sky in Tatooine
I thought Endor was derived from "End or?" and the name Ewok was because they were like the opposite of the tall, straight-haired Wookies.
An iWook?
I never knew Wookies' real name was 'Kowe!'
Wook-ee -> EE-wock.
If they wanted Ewoks to be the opposite of Wookies, they wouldn't have covered them in fur.
I'm mad they got rid of the ewok song at the end.
Oh yeah
Looking back, the Executor should have crashed into Endor and put those stupid Ewoks out of their misery!
Yub Nub, brother, Yub Nub!
I always liked the scene with The Emperor arriving, from a Stormtrooper point of view seeing this huge, very much feared leader in Darth Vader on his knees before The Emperor, says all you need to know about his power.
Actually in their previous duel on cloud city Luke was the one to initiate without grace and Vader reacted one handed
“Confront Vader. That is the only a jedi you will be”
“Confronting fear… is the destiny of a Jedi”
Well, the legends are true
How did Luke get the green Kyber crystal? I always thought that he found Qui-Gon Jinn’s lightsaber in Obi Wan’s house and salvage parts from it
Kyber Crystals are colorless and Luke bleed his Green or Grandmaster. Because his lightsabler was always ment to be blue but change because all the background was in the day light blue sky☁️
To me it just makes sense that young anakin appears at the end, technically old anakin never existed, his last appearance as a jedi was Hayden.
EXACTLY! He wouldn't look like that if he was totally burned anyways.
It makes more sense to me, that either they ALL get shown in their prime. Or they all get shown their age when they die. Not this inconsistency...
@@phillystevesteak6982 from a certain point of view book confirms that they can change their images to look how they want to look, so it can change if obiwan wants it to it
Sajirou Plays ahahah, i like the fact that is him there, but u totally right about the creep look😂
When vader kills the emperor, he becomes Anakin again.
Yo, props to the editor for that slick Luke transition at 20:45. Very smooth.
Please do prequels as well, they are good enough to be reconised.
Nothing Disney had made is worth a shit
@@robertbradburn9616 but.. I was talking about the prequels, 123, Disney is sequels... So what you on about?
Vader killed Anakin, (from a certain point of view technically), so it makes sense its Hayden’s ghost, cuz thats the last time we see the good Ani.
Also force ghost is a light side power, and Anakin was his closest and strongest with the light side at that time, so old Vader cant/shouldn’t be a light side force ghost.
From a storytelling pov i can see why old Ani makes sense, but in the SW universe it really doesnt.
You forgot to mention that Luke had the high ground. Then Vader threw his saber.
Y’all didn’t mention Droopy Mccool and I’m disappointed
I liked Hayden as Anakin at the end of rotj, I really love it, I hope it stays
What makes this a great video and one of my favorite channels now is the fact that you didn’t bring up Jar-Jar.
3:46 Umm actually: Lapti Nek was the song in the original release. It was replaced with Jedi Rocks for the Special Editions.
Exactly. Lapti Nek featured a puppet Sy Snootles and was much better than the CGI-fest that it Jedi Rocks.
Was looking for this comment
This is absolutely my favourite Star Wars film.
Seeing it in the cinema aged 8 was instrumental in making me want to be a writer.
In particular the moment when Vader said "it's too late for me, Son" made me think "oooh, Hello, characters are more interesting when they're complicated!"
Great review of the film, personally I don’t mind the alteration of Anakins’ appearance in ‘the force’, I think it will do good to the younger viewers, in the sense of “Who ist THAT!?” if they left it at the original actor. The more ‘original’ viewers will understand this anyway, we have all seen all versions of the films, right? But many thanks! Love your insight, and love the chann! cheers!
18:50 that sad ewok scene gets me every time. I remember being deeply sad watching that when I was younger
I always thought that when Luke becomes a Jedi, the Jedi have returned. I never thought it applied to Anakin. But couldn’t it be both? It’s plural as well
when the Ewoks are taking Han and the gang back to their village to eat them, it might be a reference to the Teddy Bear's picnic song
Notice Vader's lightsaber crossing Luke's in front of the Emperor...some can say Vader was protecting Palpatine from an attack...I think Vader might have been protecting Luke by stopping him from turning to the dark side
Palpatine was named Palpatine all the way back in the novelization for "Star Wars" in 1976. I have my Mom's original copy still. The prequels are basically summed up in the prologue. "Dark Lord of the Sith", Palpatine.... They had names back then. It wasn't just something Lucas came up with for the prequels, though people like to make it seem that way.
Not at all, they used little teddy bears for ewoks (which were originally supposed to be wookies) because first of all, to make hundredths of Wookie suits (the actualy suits and then backups suits for actors, etc) would be too costly, and second of all, where they were filming the endor sequences, for most of it, peter mayhew (chewbacka actor) had to be careful when wearing his suit as his outfit could resemble and possibly mistaken hunters for big foot

The worst change of all was removing the Ewok victory song, that song always lingered on my head when I watched this movie as a kid.
"We are yet to see him escape in live action"
Laughs in Book of Boba Fett
it was exactly the park and rec clip too
The scene where vader turns on the emperor mirrors the choice Anakin made in ep 3... but instead of choosing to save palpatine and throw windu out the window, he chooses to save his son and throw palpy out the windu. In both scenes two people Anakin holds loyalty to are locked in combat using lightning, with the aggressor (or apparent aggressor) standing above the helpless victim (or apparent victim) in both cases Anakin opts to save the victim, but in the prequels he is deceived by both palpy's manipulation and the staging... Palpy is actually the aggressor despite being prone. In ROTJ, anakin perceives the truth of the same test instead of the decption.
DO JEDI FALLEN ORDER ALL READY! YOU DID BATTLEFRONT 2, WHY NOT THIS?!
I’d personally like it if they did the DLC for Battlefront as well!
The game is very long and they have to go do some research and then write a script. It's not easy to do.
@@CSIGarcia it would be a sight to see if it happens though, right?
@@CSIGarcia Fallen order is a long game? Only if you go and get e very single collectible, which let's beh onest is completely worthless except for maybe 2 ponchos, an outfit and a couple light saber parts you can do without getting.
24:00 the change was added because the young anakin symbolises the good, as supposed to an older, more Vader-y figure. This ties well with the limitation that no sith can become a force ghost, forcing the evil to die with the body of Vader while the good is portrayed with a younger force ghost
I always thought that Vader died because all that anger he had since he got burned, to what should be deadly accident, has vanished; like maul. Because maul only survived from all his hatred, and now that Vader has no more hatred, there is nothing holding him back from dying a natural death.
I am fine with the young Anakin Force-Ghost
I love all these throwback reviews! Keep up the great work :)
I can handle all of the changes apart from the "No"s added to the final moments before Vader saves Luke. They utterly and completely break the tension of the moment.
the "We's-a free!" at the end is completely out place, too
Chewbacca’s Tarzan scream is the same scream as the one from Revenge of the Sith when the two Wookiee planted explosives on the tank droid
"Fingers crossed The Mandalorian makes Patton Oswalt's dream come true."
Welllllllll, whaddaya knowww?
I absolutely love this channel. Thank you for the constant uploads and great content.
Hayden at the end is amazing, it brings both of the trilogies together
11:20 you should do an easter egg video on this game
When you realize that they didn’t want to kill Han but here we are in 2019 with a dead Han
That was literally 32 years before TFA lmao
It was the only way Ford would come back he said was if he was guaranteed to be killed off
Nice
Here we are in 2020 with still no sequels to the trilogy
I don’t think the “No...Noooo” was needed. It was more effective to have Vader go through inner conflict silently and not forecast his emotions.
Yes! My second biggest gripe of the revisions. Goddam George Lucas' need to tinker shit to death
If it was like that since the beginning no one would be complaining about it
Spot On! Thank you so much! I love all your videos!
It's actually nonsensical to depict Anakin as an aged force ghost because he never aged into the well-coifed gentleman depicted in the original film. Reverting to his last light-side form makes more sense, which would be who we saw in the pivot.
Personally like Hayden At the end
Brilliant as always! I enjoy very much your videos.
I actually liked the Younger Anakin version of the film but that's only my opinion
20:36 are you sure because I thought he was playing right into his HAND
Honestly I don't have an issue with doing special edition edits in and of itself, like a director edition. My problem is trying to erase the original versions by not releasing them. The best DVD copy I got was the laser disc transfer.
Luke and Vader's conversation on Endor's moon is one of my top five scenes from any Star Wars film released up to this point in time.
Star Wars was always a kids film. It was a throwback to film serials, which were popular among kids, and was aimed at kids all along.
I think it only makes sense that the “young” Anakin be the force ghost when that was when he was last a Jedi and Anakin. I just felt hella bad for the actor who was replaced! 🥺
Can you imagine being a part of, no matter how ‘small’, something that HUGE and you get cut out?!?! 😱 Even Randall Graves from clerks 2 said “There is only ONE ‘Return of the’ and it’s not ‘The King’ it’s Of The Jedi!”
Also, they can choose any form they wish. I bet they would have changed Obi Wan too but a legend in his own right played “old” Obi Wan and can you imagine THAT uproar???
Anakin never looked like how he did as a force ghost in the original version, unlike in the 2004 version. I think it makes more sense for it to be Hayden Christensen because of this, therefore, I find the 2004 version of the force ghost scene better
How, all Force ghost are of them as when they died.
6:33 Jon favreau: hold my lightsaber
Boba Fett is kind of lame after the Mandolorian.
Ya, he really doesn't have shit on Mando
Well yeah, his whole shtick is that he just looked cool
wespozo nah
Agreed
Boba stole that Mandalorian armor in the first place. So he was fraudulent from the start. 😂😂😂
Force ghost appear as the person wants to be remembered, and if Anakin wants to be remembered like he was before his turn to the Dark Side, I’m ok with it and it makes sense to me
Well when he died he wasn’t technically a jedi (as many people say, since he returned to the light side, he must be a jedi from there), he just returned. He was a jedi only in the prquels. As he became vader anakin died there, so his force ghost is that form. “Good” anakin didn’t age (like Sebastian Stan is meant to portrwy older anakin, but that’s not him)
I like young Anakin as the force ghost, just makes more sense
I agree but I also think that Ewan McGregor should have also been a force ghost at the end of the movie when the special edition come out
@@thesinclairblues5941 Now I don't know about that, because unlike Anakin, Obi Wan lived a whole life as a jedi and died old, as he is shown there.. So I think that the original, in this case, makes more sense
It does, but it still shouldn’t have been changed anyways.
Good on you for being able to explain ROJ so well!
Imo Having hayden as the force ghost makes sense because he was a jedi and after vader stopped palpy he wasn't a jedi he wasn't a sith either but still. Only jedi can become force ghosts and Hayden was the one playing Anakin as a jedi.
