Imagine dedicating your life to a story such as Star Wars, with nothing create a better history than all the Disney content until that point, see how Disney destroyed his beloved franchise and then finally see how is renewed. I understand his tears
@@guillermoabondano1512 exactly what i was thinking. he put his all into starwars. hes revived the franchise in so many ways himself. he desrves this moment bruh
Telling a cancer survivor he can't get emotional over seeing his childhood hero. Good job internet. I was a wreck too when I saw that Xwing. We all were... It was like seeing your old friend who has lost their ways return to being their old great self.
Me too bro. Tobey Maguire Spidey was my light. He was my Luke. I loved everything about him growing up watching the Raimi trilogy. I looked up to his role so much whenever I felt down. He's the reason I love Spider man so much today and all the media that comes with him.

Felt very hallow and meaningless.. might as well have sent the kiddo to daycare.. they know nothing of timing or patience it seems.

Literally more respect was given to Luke in this one episode than he was given in three entire movies lmfao Edit 2024: I’m still positive they gave him more respect here 😂
Think about it from his perspective. He's the one who blew up the Death Star. Became the hero of the Rebellion. And was the only one to emerge from the room with both Vader and the Emperor's. Gideon has every reason to be scared.
I'm a 35 year old man and I cried right with you, buddy. Luke was everything to me as a kid, THIS was the Luke we should have got, even if a bit more grizzled. Never apologize for tears. It takes a badass to acknowledge it.
I waited for this 25 years + and to be honest I had lost hope we got to see Luke like we all wanted to see him as his peak... And suddenly he was here after all this years and after those slap in the face movies. I also cried cause I was mad for them to make us wait this long and I was also happy cause we didn't need much, a few minutes gave us so much happiness.
The emotion is real. It was like this moment was a Time Machine bringing us back to when we were kids, wondering what Jedi Luke would have been like. The execution from the cutaways to the music was excellent, it was like Luke was rescuing all us from adulting.
I’ve seen this video so many times, I’m a huge fan of theory and while my emotions are different, when I saw it I turned into basically a fan whose team just won the championship, but the emotions are real and this popping up in my feed today was so cool. This is what fandom is about and this will always be an awesome vid. Love ya Theory
Hey Man I get it I'm a Veteran, pushing 50 and I grew up with Luke being one of my heroes and role models for me to hold on too. It was an absolutly magical moment seeing the real Luke Skywalker we all remember and need to see more of. The optimistic, hopeful, never gives up Luke. Not that sorry sack of an imposter Ryan Johnson put Mr. Hamil into that dumpster fire of a movie. Luke is a Paragon of the light side. And I'm not too proud to admit it, yes it brought tears to my eyes and yells of thrilled joy and many many fist pumps and arms shot up in victorious celebration at the witnessing the Grand Master Luke Entrance.
yooooo!!! and dude the way he entered as well!!! silently in x wing and then just cutting through this droids like it shows just why jedis were so powerful and respected. we tend to forget but through the lence of the mandalorian and everyone else in that room, they msut've been so happy that luke was a good guy. u know. doesnt use his power unless he has to and was only there to answer the kid's call for help. Luke entered as powerfully as a Skywalker and spoke as calmly as an Amidala
I cried like a baby. This is where I developed faith in Feloni and Faverue. These guys perfected what Luke should be at this point. And then the last season of clone wars was epic. I’m crying again now
Had my own moment not too long ago when I re-watched the prequels. Hadn't seen them since they came out and it really hit me how tragic of a character Anakin really was. Hit me big time and was very emotional.
Because Anakin is such a tragic character, its the reason I love him so much. He will always be my favorite character in SW even with all his human flaws. I really wish there was a universe where he deserved a happy ending.
It's really wild watching the prequel trilogy back and slowly seeing him turn in episodes 2 and 3. The Jedi council seemed more standoffish in episode 3 than I remember, makes you sympathize with Qui Gonn for not fully committing to their ways.
Acolyte 3 is not that bad, for how much he loves the plageuis novel its crazy how he's missing all the nods to plageuis in the episode and the rest of the show Don't get me wrong tho I don't think the show is great, its slow at times rushed at others, some characters make no sense and dialogue is generally awful. Ep 4 and 6 are the worst
I cried too bro and I’m 54. I saw the first Star Wars movie when I was a kid and have been a fan ever since. They are very important to me to good sir. That had to be the most emotional moment in Star Wars ever. Thank you for keeping the faith of the Force. May the Force be with you, always.
I was just six years old when I first watched Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977. My parents and brothers and I eagerly waited online, hoping to secure a spot to watch it at the 86th Street theater in New York City. That movie has been a part of my life ever since. I’m 53 now, and my feelings about Star Wars, especially that final scene, remain unchanged. I had the same reaction as you the moment the X-Wing flew in I felt that it was Luke Skywalker and I immediately began to get emotional at that point, it felt like I was transported back to my six-year-old self. I’m not sure if others can comprehend the deep emotional connection that some of us fans have to this franchise. It has shaped the morals that guide us today and influence our daily lives. So at 53 years old military disabled veteran, I will always be a Jedi, may the force be with you always.
How anyone can laugh at this is absolutely beyond me. My tears were flowing right along side you brother. And from what you’ve told us you’ve been through in life, and the shining light that this character has been for you during those dark times, I cannot even imagine how hard this hit you personally in this moment. Let’s be very clear right here right now. REAL. MEN. CRY.
These emotions come from these points (myself being included for crying my eyes out and the reasoning why): 1. It's seeing our hero (the way he's meant to be) again and having some of our dreams and imaginations lived out on the screen. A person we admired so much. It was beautiful! 2. It's seeing Luke as the powerful master he's supposed to be after the events of Return of the Jedi when he has realised his full power/potential and knows what his capabilities as a Jedi and a person are. He's had the growth and fully realised arc at this point. 3. It's justice for how his character was portrayed in the Disney Sequels and how they SHOULD HAVE given the people the true nature of the character. Showing him like this. He is the most optimistic hero who never gives up or gives in to the darkness and Disney ruined him. 4. THIS IS THE LUKE SKYWALKER GEORGE LUCAS WOULD HAVE SEEN in his visualization of his storytelling. Dave Filloni is honouring George here. All these points were why so many of us were brought to tears. We relived our hero and had the proper second chance at a reintroduction to the character. Thank you, Dave and John for restoring faith back into the galaxy.
Exactly. I pictured Luke so many times in my head like this for Last Jedi...and R. Johnson says I'm going to do exactly the opposite of what people think = good cinema.
This is a genuinely touching reaction to what art does to someone that truly loves said art. Star Wars is such an important piece of art for a lot of people throughout their lives, 30 somethings for the VHS OT and then the prequels, for 50+ the OT. And Star Wars Theory's reaction genuinely expresses that. If you grew up watching the younger Luke in his prime from the OT, he was a deeply impactful hero that you could look up to and reach up to and aspire to be like. He was introduced to us as a goofy naïve kid that had no discernable heroic qualities, aside from perhaps a desire for adventure and we watched him "grow" up into the Luke that we saw here in Mando season 2. The Ideal Hero. THIS is the Luke that I know and envisioned after Episode 6. A deeply calm and connected man that exudes a zen-like demeanor. No ego, no cockiness, just confidence and understanding who uses the force not to show off, not to dominate, but to guard and protect others and do good in the galaxy. The Ideal Jedi.
Hey, Theory! Thank you so much for sharing this again. I think there were a lot of us fans who were right there with you on that emotional roller-coaster ride that was the Mando S2 finale. Just an amazing experience!👍
I a 40+ year old. I grew up in a farm in Mexico. I watch the originals as re runs on TV and felt in love with them. They where my dreams of being someone different. I succeeded in my dreams and then some. As an adult with children and a wife. They saw me cry like you did because of what you said to me the character is my hero. I was a child watching does re runs at that moment thank you for sharing thank you for sharing how you really feel about star wars. God Bless
I watched, I saw, I cried and it brought me back, it was a time machine, to a time that will never be, we can now see the Luke that always was, restored that will always be our Luke. Yoda reminds us of this piece of wisdom that is so true. When we were young lads Luke was a role model, we identified with him and his desires and struggles. He taught us morality, he was selfless, he thought of others before himself, he was willing to sacrifice everything even his life to redeem someone he loved. He was a symbol of goodness, of innocence - Yoda “Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future, the past. Old friends long gone.” when I watched this it immediately brought my Father back to life sitting next to him in a darkened movie theater in Carpentersville Illinois in 1977 where all was right in the world, with my Dad at my side watching Star Wars, just for a brief moment it brought back that same spirit, that memory. Remember never be embarrassed to shed a tear, for we are reminded that in the shortest verse in the Bible that Jesus Wept.
"Luke Skywalker was the strength I would call upon when I didn't have any" move me more than any of the new films, i always come back to this video after watching Mando all the way through
Is this a quote from Theory? If so, then daaaamn it hits hard. Especially knowing all what he went through - from parent's divorce to cancer and to bullying.
Dude, you are me here. The tears, the goosebumps, It was a desperately needed scene. I, like you grew up watching the original movies, reading the books and spending countless hours deep in star wars lore. Thank you for putting a face and voice to speak out for the Universe we love!
Once in a lifetime experience, and I'm glad we all got to share it together. It meant just as much to all of us, I had the identical reaction. Beautiful man, love you Theory
I'll never forget man, I watched this live, in the live, and had the EXACT same emotions and I felt embarrassed at how hard I was crying despite the fact I was alone in my room after midnight. Seeing Theory having the same experience it felt like I was sharing a moment with a close friend as weird as that must seem. And now here we are, less than 24 hours before the premiere of season 3 and probably my 2,400 time coming back to this reaction. Love all you nerds.
this is really touching. I think you hit the nail on the head. It put you right back there in your childhood, and clearly this franchise means so much to you. I still remember the little luke skywalker toy i used to have that i took everywhere i went with me. You have given tons of joy to the world too with your creations, never forget that!
I was a little brat back in 1977 when the first Star wars film came out. I still remember the theater all these decades later. I also remember how amazed and excited I felt watching this adventure. Luke, Leia Han and the others were heroes. And Luke represented what was good. So I can totally understand how you feel. To see Luke come out again brought tears to my eyes as well. Thanks for sharing.
I love this reaction, I love that it meant so much to you, and I love that you got to be that kid again, if only for a few minutes. Anyone who said anything negative about your reaction says everything about them and nothing about you. Props, bro.
I watched this video to try to recapture the emotions that I felt when it first came out. Thanks for helping out with that. This meant so much to me as a fan.
"safe place". I keep repeating that line in my head. Because that's on my mind all the time. How to create a safe place in my mind. I've done this with the MCU, and Tolkien: mostly Captain America (particularly after Endgame), Gandalf, Imladris, and Tom Bombadil. To say my childhood was hard is a vast understatement. I watched what I think was a less-cut version than this video shortly after this episode, one that you did. (You probably had to cut a lot of it to avoid DMCA takedown, which makes sense) I was fortunate to be born a deal earlier than you, and watched Return of the Jedi in 1983 nine times in the theaters. When I saw the Season 2 finale, the floodgates opened and I then watched the ending again and again, and looked for reactions on UA-cam. Your original was one of the best, because it seemed to hit me as much as it was hitting you. So, no idea if you read comments now, but I felt like I needed to share. Thank you.
I'll say that the final moment in the first episode of the Mandalorian hit me like a ton of bricks watching it again recently after having our first child. That moment where Din hasn't possibly yet had time to even understand what compelled him to put a shot in IG-11's head, but he did it anyway, saving Grogu's life. Goddamn, that was such a powerful closing moment for their first episode.
Maaaan, it was Covid, I was super distraught in my own personal world, I watched this by myself, this thing that United billions and billions of people fir this space of a couple hours before and after, and my God, I screamed, and cried, and ran around the house for 30 minutes solid!!! Thank you for sharing, I wish I would have known and watched with y’all!!! I really want to join a watch party now, but I live in the UK now and that seems difficult ha. We shall see!! The Force is with you, always!!!!
Still one of the most meaningful reactions I’ve ever seen. I believe he speaks from the heart. ♥️ A New Hope was the first movie I ever saw. I was with my dad. It was 1977. We saw it at the Malco Theater, and I was 6 years old. I completely understand his emotion because I felt it too. This was something my generation has waited 40+ years to feel again (janky CGI and all). Thanks to Star Wars Theory for expressing the feelings of an entire era of Star Wars fans who remember. 💫
I remember where I was when I watched this episode, and I proudly screamed like a little kid when I saw that X-Wing fly by the window. When Cara remarked "one x-wing, we're saved" I said to absolutely no one but myself, "that's all you need." This was the first time that Star Wars made me feel like a kid again, and I love the direction the franchise is going in now. Here's to more moments like this.
And for one single fleeting moment we were all kids again and all the pain and fear and loss of innocence we experienced in adulthood faded away.. One single fleeting moment.. I sobbed like a baby too SWT any man who buries their emotions to feel strong isn't a man at all.. Emotions are to be felt, cherished and shared. They're all we have ❤️
This.....this reaction here is not only why I love theory. But what all franchises should push for. We should of gotten more of this from the movies....this is what it means to be a fan
@@illseeyaonthedarksideofthemoonI see you have replied with hate on a lot of comments here, typical for a jobless nobody. And I guess you don't have anyone to stick to, so think again who the loser is
I was going through divorce at the time this came out. I had also just come down with undiagnosed schizophrenia. I was alone and at my weakest point. Seeing this scene in a way helped me through all of it at my worst point. Luke Skywalker was my childhood.
Dude I understand how you feel as someone who was there in 1977 and saw Star Wars and if just for moment to see the Luke Skywalker we all know and love was great and made me feel like a kid again in 1977.
I felt the same exact way when I first saw this Episode. Luke and Yoda are my favorite Star Wars characters. Seeing Luke as such a bad ass was an amazing experience, especially after his character assassination in the Sequel Trilogy. The tears of joy still flow every time I see this scene.
More like sending Grogu alone to Mos Eisley, in a X-wing, handing him over to a total stranger. Obi Wan - "Mos Eisley, You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy". #Teamluke #Lukepadawans
I cried with you now man. I came here in the middle of watching you in a discussion on the last 'Acolyte' episode (season 1). In 1984, at the age of 9, living in a broken home, Star Wars saved my life (I loved The Return of the Jedi in a broken home where a son was mocked by his father for loving original Star Wars - with a neglectful mother who stood by heartless watching the hateful, irrational treatment). Love you brother.
You are us. I'm 45, and this episode brought me right back to my childhood. Nostalgia galore. Didn't know at the time but this is peak Disney Star Wars.
I got to tell you, I'm 50 years young right now and I saw The New Hope back in 1978 (I saw it on my dad's TV), I was only 5, and Star Wars has always been in my life ever since, through good times and bad times. I've heard about videos making fun of your reaction and I had to see it for myself. I have to tell you with no shame that I teared up as well seeing your reaction. I know exactly how you felt. seeing reactions like this make me feel like there is still hope in the world!. I tip my hat to you, Thank you for all your honest reviews and respect for Star Wars. May The Force be with you!
Favorite Star Wars content channel. Your passion is so obvious, and appreciated. Thank you. Star Wars and the characters within - it's more than just a bunch of movies, shows, books, and games.
This is just wholesome. Screw the critics. Life is about these moments my friend. And I get it! He was always my favorite character. Hell, I named my son after him and when Mark Hamill commented on his photo one day on social, it made my day. Peace & love dude. Star Wars is more than a film!
I watch reactions of music, tv, movies, comedy, etc. This is one of the best reactions I have ever seen. It's so special, after having grown up and begrudgingly put our heroes aside and fought our own battles to develop a life and a career and families, to have that hero come back and remind you that he had been fighting next to you all along. Great reaction
I felt it right along with you brother! One of my favorite UA-cam videos ever! I’m closer to 50 than you are, so this was especially super emotional to me!
I was 9 when Star Wars come out in 1977, and as a 52 year old, I was full of emotion and cried with you. Never apologize for your emotions. Thankful I was able to experience this.
When Tobey Maguire walked out of the Portal in Spider Man No Way Home, i cried like a baby and felt like a kid again So I feel the same way this dude felt
This is why we love you, Theory. You aren't afraid to be yourself and to show your emotions like a true Star Wars fan. Keep doing you, man! You've got the support of true fans!
I was crying too because it felt like seeing Luke again for the first time in years. The sequels spat on his character in my opinion, tried to make him out to be scared, broken, and bitter old man. This was the Luke I grew up with. A hero, someone who helped people even when it was dangerous. We watched this guy hone his skills and fall down only to keep getting back up.
Honestly beautiful, few people will understand this. Hes cometely right. Luke Skywalker is a childhood hero, the OG for many of us. Makes us feel were young again. This touched me, have a blessed day
Man coming back to this and it still gives me chills everytime, brings me back to being a kid watching these movies with my dad. Also lots of disrespectful ass people in here fr, y’all need to learn some respect, one of the reasons I hate the internet anymore
Luke is the man many of us aspire to be, fearless and kind. Seeing him reduced to being a scared hermit in the sequels was a blow, but this moment is what we all needed to see, our hero in all his glory!
@starwarstheoryplus I haven't been back over here to see this in a while, and I have to say that this still hits me in the feels everytime. Thank Theory for being one of the best Star Wars fans we all came to know and love.
what Jon Favreau did with these characters on tv is a far superior story and shits all over what ever the fuck the people making the sequel trilogy thought they were doing.
Just watching this for the first time, man and I have to say that I'm so happy you and your younger self found some catharsis, here. It's a beautiful thing. I also cried and was surprised by the tears. You already know you weren't alone. Thanks for being honest, open, and simply you.
What she said to Boba is probably one of the biggest disses he has ever received. He’s “not Just another clone” ❤️ My mouth was wide open , thought he was gonna insta-blast her 🤣 ⚰️
The emotions i felt and went through when i saw the x-wing and knew who it was right away then the damn tears and feeling like a kid again was astounding! I wish the sequels would have done luke like this absolutely beautiful
Just finished rewatching season 2 of Mando and found this video. I wish Disney Star Wars can go back to this level of quality unlike what we are seeing now with Tales of the Empire and The Acolyte. I think this was the peak, just glad to have been along for the ride for this long.
SWT's reaction to Luke's appearance was one of the most sincere, beautiful fan-moments ever. Everyone who looked at it like he was being corny is ridiculous.
Oh dude I know how you feel man , it can be done , we all love Star Wars and what it represents , what Luke’s journey though the dark into the light represents
You ain't the only one who cried, Buddy. I lost my shit that night. This was a pure moment in time that I believe was the peak of modern Star Wars. 💀👊🍻🚬
Grown ass man here that grew up with Star Wars. I could not form words when I watched this for the first time. Wiping away tears of pure joy and awe. I will always love this episode for what it did for all the fans.
People make fun of him but true fans cried with him
Exactly. I believe I got so excited that I didn’t realize tears were rolling down my face until halfway through the sequence
Imagine dedicating your life to a story such as Star Wars, with nothing create a better history than all the Disney content until that point, see how Disney destroyed his beloved franchise and then finally see how is renewed. I understand his tears
Idk who would make fun of him in person tho. He's jacked lol and wicked chill
Hear hear
@@guillermoabondano1512 exactly what i was thinking. he put his all into starwars. hes revived the franchise in so many ways himself. he desrves this moment bruh
If you knew what Luke Skywalker meant to him as a kid, you would absolutely understand that his tears are sensical.
lmao
Right, like people made fun of him, but didn't realize Luke was his hero as a kid when he got bullied all the time.
@@wulferaider8917 pretty sure that he was going through cancer as a kid and Luke was his hero during then until he eventually beat it
@@Stak0 I just remember him talking about being bullied
Telling a cancer survivor he can't get emotional over seeing his childhood hero. Good job internet.
I was a wreck too when I saw that Xwing. We all were...
It was like seeing your old friend who has lost their ways return to being their old great self.
"Luke Skywalker was the strength I would call upon when I didn't have any." That's me with Spider-Man. So I completely understand man.
The same for me but it was Anakin 😫
Same here bro spiderman is my all time favorite and he's saved my life before. Literally. I can understand
Me too bro. Tobey Maguire Spidey was my light. He was my Luke. I loved everything about him growing up watching the Raimi trilogy. I looked up to his role so much whenever I felt down. He's the reason I love Spider man so much today and all the media that comes with him.
I see it with Optimus Prime from Transformers
Spider-Man sucks

You should watch "Obi-Wan has PTSD".
Because Anakin is such a tragic character, its the reason I love him so much. He will always be my favorite character in SW even with all his human flaws. I really wish there was a universe where he deserved a happy ending.
@@nathancritz agreed
Every time I watch episode 3 I feel that way. The whole anakin ark gets me
It's really wild watching the prequel trilogy back and slowly seeing him turn in episodes 2 and 3. The Jedi council seemed more standoffish in episode 3 than I remember, makes you sympathize with Qui Gonn for not fully committing to their ways.
This is probably the most genuine and most correct reaction of any true starwars fan.
there is that one guy who just starts laughing psychoticly, nearly starts puring tears of joy, and is left speechless by the Vader hallway scene
he is a casual enjoyer
Coming back here after his reaction to Acolyte episode 3.....
Man, it's lamentable how things have changed in such a short time. 😥
Same! Miss times like this…
Acolyte 3 is not that bad, for how much he loves the plageuis novel its crazy how he's missing all the nods to plageuis in the episode and the rest of the show
Don't get me wrong tho I don't think the show is great, its slow at times rushed at others, some characters make no sense and dialogue is generally awful. Ep 4 and 6 are the worst
i come here to forget what i just saw in the acolyte. My brain needs good star wars stories to not succumb to sorrow of the acolyte
@@DarkestKnightshade Stop defending trash
I cried too bro and I’m 54. I saw the first Star Wars movie when I was a kid and have been a fan ever since. They are very important to me to good sir. That had to be the most emotional moment in Star Wars ever. Thank you for keeping the faith of the Force. May the Force be with you, always.
I still tear up when I watch this scene it’s just so beautifully done
I was just six years old when I first watched Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977. My parents and brothers and I eagerly waited online, hoping to secure a spot to watch it at the 86th Street theater in New York City. That movie has been a part of my life ever since. I’m 53 now, and my feelings about Star Wars, especially that final scene, remain unchanged. I had the same reaction as you the moment the X-Wing flew in I felt that it was Luke Skywalker and I immediately began to get emotional at that point, it felt like I was transported back to my six-year-old self. I’m not sure if others can comprehend the deep emotional connection that some of us fans have to this franchise. It has shaped the morals that guide us today and influence our daily lives. So at 53 years old military disabled veteran, I will always be a Jedi, may the force be with you always.
How anyone can laugh at this is absolutely beyond me. My tears were flowing right along side you brother. And from what you’ve told us you’ve been through in life, and the shining light that this character has been for you during those dark times, I cannot even imagine how hard this hit you personally in this moment. Let’s be very clear right here right now. REAL. MEN. CRY.
Maybe they do, but I don't see one here...
These emotions come from these points (myself being included for crying my eyes out and the reasoning why):
1. It's seeing our hero (the way he's meant to be) again and having some of our dreams and imaginations lived out on the screen. A person we admired so much. It was beautiful!
2. It's seeing Luke as the powerful master he's supposed to be after the events of Return of the Jedi when he has realised his full power/potential and knows what his capabilities as a Jedi and a person are. He's had the growth and fully realised arc at this point.
3. It's justice for how his character was portrayed in the Disney Sequels and how they SHOULD HAVE given the people the true nature of the character. Showing him like this. He is the most optimistic hero who never gives up or gives in to the darkness and Disney ruined him.
4. THIS IS THE LUKE SKYWALKER GEORGE LUCAS WOULD HAVE SEEN in his visualization of his storytelling. Dave Filloni is honouring George here.
All these points were why so many of us were brought to tears. We relived our hero and had the proper second chance at a reintroduction to the character. Thank you, Dave and John for restoring faith back into the galaxy.
Beautiful. You have stated the truth for so many of us fans and I couldn’t have said it better myself, thank you
Exactly. I pictured Luke so many times in my head like this for Last Jedi...and R. Johnson says I'm going to do exactly the opposite of what people think = good cinema.
This is pathetic, crying over a product being sold in two different flavors...
This is a genuinely touching reaction to what art does to someone that truly loves said art. Star Wars is such an important piece of art for a lot of people throughout their lives, 30 somethings for the VHS OT and then the prequels, for 50+ the OT. And Star Wars Theory's reaction genuinely expresses that. If you grew up watching the younger Luke in his prime from the OT, he was a deeply impactful hero that you could look up to and reach up to and aspire to be like. He was introduced to us as a goofy naïve kid that had no discernable heroic qualities, aside from perhaps a desire for adventure and we watched him "grow" up into the Luke that we saw here in Mando season 2. The Ideal Hero.
THIS is the Luke that I know and envisioned after Episode 6. A deeply calm and connected man that exudes a zen-like demeanor. No ego, no cockiness, just confidence and understanding who uses the force not to show off, not to dominate, but to guard and protect others and do good in the galaxy. The Ideal Jedi.
Hey, Theory! Thank you so much for sharing this again. I think there were a lot of us fans who were right there with you on that emotional roller-coaster ride that was the Mando S2 finale. Just an amazing experience!👍
I a 40+ year old. I grew up in a farm in Mexico. I watch the originals as re runs on TV and felt in love with them. They where my dreams of being someone different. I succeeded in my dreams and then some. As an adult with children and a wife. They saw me cry like you did because of what you said to me the character is my hero. I was a child watching does re runs at that moment thank you for sharing thank you for sharing how you really feel about star wars. God Bless
I watched, I saw, I cried and it brought me back, it was a time machine, to a time that will never be, we can now see the Luke that always was, restored that will always be our Luke. Yoda reminds us of this piece of wisdom that is so true. When we were young lads Luke was a role model, we identified with him and his desires and struggles. He taught us morality, he was selfless, he thought of others before himself, he was willing to sacrifice everything even his life to redeem someone he loved. He was a symbol of goodness, of innocence - Yoda “Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future, the past. Old friends long gone.” when I watched this it immediately brought my Father back to life sitting next to him in a darkened movie theater in Carpentersville Illinois in 1977 where all was right in the world, with my Dad at my side watching Star Wars, just for a brief moment it brought back that same spirit, that memory. Remember never be embarrassed to shed a tear, for we are reminded that in the shortest verse in the Bible that Jesus Wept.
"Luke Skywalker was the strength I would call upon when I didn't have any" move me more than any of the new films, i always come back to this video after watching Mando all the way through
Is this a quote from Theory? If so, then daaaamn it hits hard. Especially knowing all what he went through - from parent's divorce to cancer and to bullying.
Dude, you are me here. The tears, the goosebumps, It was a desperately needed scene. I, like you grew up watching the original movies, reading the books and spending countless hours deep in star wars lore. Thank you for putting a face and voice to speak out for the Universe we love!
I cried too my brother. And I do almost every time I watch this back.
One of the purest reactions.... I watch this often to cheer me up and feel young again
Once in a lifetime experience, and I'm glad we all got to share it together. It meant just as much to all of us, I had the identical reaction. Beautiful man, love you Theory
I know everyone is here for his reaction to Luke but watching this during all the Acolyte shit is proof that he doesn’t hate women in Star Wars
I'll never forget man, I watched this live, in the live, and had the EXACT same emotions and I felt embarrassed at how hard I was crying despite the fact I was alone in my room after midnight. Seeing Theory having the same experience it felt like I was sharing a moment with a close friend as weird as that must seem. And now here we are, less than 24 hours before the premiere of season 3 and probably my 2,400 time coming back to this reaction. Love all you nerds.
this is really touching. I think you hit the nail on the head. It put you right back there in your childhood, and clearly this franchise means so much to you. I still remember the little luke skywalker toy i used to have that i took everywhere i went with me. You have given tons of joy to the world too with your creations, never forget that!
I was a little brat back in 1977 when the first Star wars film came out. I still remember the theater all these decades later. I also remember how amazed and excited I felt watching this adventure. Luke, Leia Han and the others were heroes. And Luke represented what was good. So I can totally understand how you feel. To see Luke come out again brought tears to my eyes as well. Thanks for sharing.
This is one of those things that I’ll always remember exactly where I was when I watched it. That scene meant so much and it was absolutely amazing!
For a brief moment Star Wars felt magical again.
aaand its gone.
@@edvrandallthis line is for customers who have money with the bank, please step aside.
I love this reaction, I love that it meant so much to you, and I love that you got to be that kid again, if only for a few minutes. Anyone who said anything negative about your reaction says everything about them and nothing about you. Props, bro.
I watched this video to try to recapture the emotions that I felt when it first came out. Thanks for helping out with that. This meant so much to me as a fan.
"safe place". I keep repeating that line in my head. Because that's on my mind all the time. How to create a safe place in my mind. I've done this with the MCU, and Tolkien: mostly Captain America (particularly after Endgame), Gandalf, Imladris, and Tom Bombadil. To say my childhood was hard is a vast understatement.
I watched what I think was a less-cut version than this video shortly after this episode, one that you did. (You probably had to cut a lot of it to avoid DMCA takedown, which makes sense) I was fortunate to be born a deal earlier than you, and watched Return of the Jedi in 1983 nine times in the theaters.
When I saw the Season 2 finale, the floodgates opened and I then watched the ending again and again, and looked for reactions on UA-cam. Your original was one of the best, because it seemed to hit me as much as it was hitting you.
So, no idea if you read comments now, but I felt like I needed to share. Thank you.
I'll say that the final moment in the first episode of the Mandalorian hit me like a ton of bricks watching it again recently after having our first child. That moment where Din hasn't possibly yet had time to even understand what compelled him to put a shot in IG-11's head, but he did it anyway, saving Grogu's life. Goddamn, that was such a powerful closing moment for their first episode.
Maaaan, it was Covid, I was super distraught in my own personal world, I watched this by myself, this thing that United billions and billions of people fir this space of a couple hours before and after, and my God, I screamed, and cried, and ran around the house for 30 minutes solid!!! Thank you for sharing, I wish I would have known and watched with y’all!!! I really want to join a watch party now, but I live in the UK now and that seems difficult ha. We shall see!! The Force is with you, always!!!!
Still one of the most meaningful reactions I’ve ever seen. I believe he speaks from the heart. ♥️
A New Hope was the first movie I ever saw. I was with my dad. It was 1977. We saw it at the Malco Theater, and I was 6 years old.
I completely understand his emotion because I felt it too.
This was something my generation has waited 40+ years to feel again (janky CGI and all).
Thanks to Star Wars Theory for expressing the feelings of an
entire era of Star Wars fans who remember. 💫
This is the guy the shills are hating on everyone, the one guy who LOVES Star wars more than most of us do
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!
I remember where I was when I watched this episode, and I proudly screamed like a little kid when I saw that X-Wing fly by the window. When Cara remarked "one x-wing, we're saved" I said to absolutely no one but myself, "that's all you need." This was the first time that Star Wars made me feel like a kid again, and I love the direction the franchise is going in now. Here's to more moments like this.
And for one single fleeting moment we were all kids again and all the pain and fear and loss of innocence we experienced in adulthood faded away.. One single fleeting moment.. I sobbed like a baby too SWT any man who buries their emotions to feel strong isn't a man at all.. Emotions are to be felt, cherished and shared. They're all we have ❤️
This.....this reaction here is not only why I love theory. But what all franchises should push for. We should of gotten more of this from the movies....this is what it means to be a fan
Losers stick together I guess...
@@illseeyaonthedarksideofthemoonI see you have replied with hate on a lot of comments here, typical for a jobless nobody. And I guess you don't have anyone to stick to, so think again who the loser is
I was going through divorce at the time this came out. I had also just come down with undiagnosed schizophrenia. I was alone and at my weakest point. Seeing this scene in a way helped me through all of it at my worst point. Luke Skywalker was my childhood.
Dude I understand how you feel as someone who was there in 1977 and saw Star Wars and if just for moment to see the Luke Skywalker we all know and love was great and made me feel like a kid again in 1977.
This series, particularly this episode, brought starwars and it's fans back from a really dark place. Well done to all involved 👏
I felt the same exact way when I first saw this Episode. Luke and Yoda are my favorite Star Wars characters. Seeing Luke as such a bad ass was an amazing experience, especially after his character assassination in the Sequel Trilogy. The tears of joy still flow every time I see this scene.
10:50 onwards got me man, your channel relight my love and pure excitement for Star Wars
Luke: " I will give my life to protect the child."
Moments later:
Grogu gets shot by the Jedi training remote lol 😅
More like sending Grogu alone to Mos Eisley, in a X-wing, handing him over to a total stranger.
Obi Wan - "Mos Eisley, You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy".
#Teamluke #Lukepadawans
I cried with you now man. I came here in the middle of watching you in a discussion on the last 'Acolyte' episode (season 1). In 1984, at the age of 9, living in a broken home, Star Wars saved my life (I loved The Return of the Jedi in a broken home where a son was mocked by his father for loving original Star Wars - with a neglectful mother who stood by heartless watching the hateful, irrational treatment). Love you brother.
I was 11 when Return of the Jedi was released....Thank you Jon Favreau for letting my see my childhood hero in full force.
You are us. I'm 45, and this episode brought me right back to my childhood. Nostalgia galore. Didn't know at the time but this is peak Disney Star Wars.
Years later i still get emotional, thanks for sharing
I got to tell you, I'm 50 years young right now and I saw The New Hope back in 1978 (I saw it on my dad's TV), I was only 5, and Star Wars has always been in my life ever since, through good times and bad times. I've heard about videos making fun of your reaction and I had to see it for myself. I have to tell you with no shame that I teared up as well seeing your reaction. I know exactly how you felt. seeing reactions like this make me feel like there is still hope in the world!. I tip my hat to you, Thank you for all your honest reviews and respect for Star Wars. May The Force be with you!
I respect you man. When I first saw this I got chills running up and down my back. You really didn’t deserve what happened.
Facts but he knows real ones on his side
Favorite Star Wars content channel. Your passion is so obvious, and appreciated. Thank you. Star Wars and the characters within - it's more than just a bunch of movies, shows, books, and games.
I’m a literal grown a man and I cried when I saw Luke, and then again when I saw your reaction. Is horrible that people have bullied you for this.
This is just wholesome.
Screw the critics. Life is about these moments my friend.
And I get it! He was always my favorite character. Hell, I named my son after him and when Mark Hamill commented on his photo one day on social, it made my day.
Peace & love dude. Star Wars is more than a film!
I watch reactions of music, tv, movies, comedy, etc. This is one of the best reactions I have ever seen. It's so special, after having grown up and begrudgingly put our heroes aside and fought our own battles to develop a life and a career and families, to have that hero come back and remind you that he had been fighting next to you all along.
Great reaction
So refreshing. Love this channel. Love being able to share these experience with eachother. This community is amazing.
I felt it right along with you brother! One of my favorite UA-cam videos ever! I’m closer to 50 than you are, so this was especially super emotional to me!
seeing how much of an emotionless jaded person i became over the years its cool to watch someone turn back into a kid again over a movie.
we need this back man somehow we need these kinds of feelings and emotions back or we'll forget
LMFAO his reaction when the X-Wing showed up. I swear everyone had some crazy reaction on that part.
I was 9 when Star Wars come out in 1977, and as a 52 year old, I was full of emotion and cried with you. Never apologize for your emotions. Thankful I was able to experience this.
When Tobey Maguire walked out of the Portal in Spider Man No Way Home, i cried like a baby and felt like a kid again
So I feel the same way this dude felt
Are you a woman?
This is why we love you, Theory. You aren't afraid to be yourself and to show your emotions like a true Star Wars fan. Keep doing you, man! You've got the support of true fans!
Reactions like yours are why these movies are made! I'm right there with you, bro! Star Wars is one of the greatest creations of mankind!
I was crying with you, Theory. Even a year later. Difference between a Favreau treatment and the tripe that you have to deal with now.
I was crying too because it felt like seeing Luke again for the first time in years. The sequels spat on his character in my opinion, tried to make him out to be scared, broken, and bitter old man. This was the Luke I grew up with. A hero, someone who helped people even when it was dangerous. We watched this guy hone his skills and fall down only to keep getting back up.
It made me emotional watching his reaction to this. I’m glad he got this and has had success from what he loves.
Honestly beautiful, few people will understand this. Hes cometely right. Luke Skywalker is a childhood hero, the OG for many of us. Makes us feel were young again. This touched me, have a blessed day
Where were you when you saw this.
7:00 I remember. I literally yelled out 'WHAT!!!' eyes glued.
Disney's one thing that worked.
I admit, I shed a tear and had goosebumps throughout the entire scene! Luke means a lot to a huge section of the fanbase.
Even years after this still moves me and shows how something like Star Wars effects people when done write
That was an amazing moment and I felt like a kid again. It was a great scene.
Man coming back to this and it still gives me chills everytime, brings me back to being a kid watching these movies with my dad. Also lots of disrespectful ass people in here fr, y’all need to learn some respect, one of the reasons I hate the internet anymore
Luke is the man many of us aspire to be, fearless and kind. Seeing him reduced to being a scared hermit in the sequels was a blow, but this moment is what we all needed to see, our hero in all his glory!
@starwarstheoryplus I haven't been back over here to see this in a while, and I have to say that this still hits me in the feels everytime. Thank Theory for being one of the best Star Wars fans we all came to know and love.
what Jon Favreau did with these characters on tv is a far superior story and shits all over what ever the fuck the people making the sequel trilogy thought they were doing.
Just watching this for the first time, man and I have to say that I'm so happy you and your younger self found some catharsis, here. It's a beautiful thing. I also cried and was surprised by the tears. You already know you weren't alone. Thanks for being honest, open, and simply you.
What she said to Boba is probably one of the biggest disses he has ever received. He’s “not
Just another clone” ❤️
My mouth was wide open , thought he was gonna insta-blast her 🤣 ⚰️
I cried as well. Star Wars fan since 1985. That scene truly made me feel like a kid again. God Bless you Theory.
The emotions i felt and went through when i saw the x-wing and knew who it was right away then the damn tears and feeling like a kid again was astounding! I wish the sequels would have done luke like this absolutely beautiful
Just finished rewatching season 2 of Mando and found this video. I wish Disney Star Wars can go back to this level of quality unlike what we are seeing now with Tales of the Empire and The Acolyte. I think this was the peak, just glad to have been along for the ride for this long.
SWT's reaction to Luke's appearance was one of the most sincere, beautiful fan-moments ever. Everyone who looked at it like he was being corny is ridiculous.
Oh dude I know how you feel man , it can be done , we all love Star Wars and what it represents , what Luke’s journey though the dark into the light represents
You ain't the only one who cried, Buddy. I lost my shit that night. This was a pure moment in time that I believe was the peak of modern Star Wars.
💀👊🍻🚬
I'm 41 now, and I watched that episode of Mando the day it came out, and thank god I watched it alone cause I cried like a baby too.
"For some people are more than stories" that is true, agree 100%
That's truth.
Grown ass man here that grew up with Star Wars. I could not form words when I watched this for the first time. Wiping away tears of pure joy and awe. I will always love this episode for what it did for all the fans.
This is my generation who understood tha magic that WAS Star Wars
