“So he’s not a Jedi, but he is a brunette.”
Quite possibly the greatest Star Wars quote I’ve ever heard.
Carrie Fisher liked to make sure she mentioned what Leia did to Jabba when asked. "Yeah, a slug put me in a metal bikini from hell, but then I killed him for it."
@MarkusCrassus She hated that outfit because parts of her kept falling out of it. She said in an interview that when she leaned back in it, anyone behind her got a clear view all the way down.
Wait! What! Oh I love her more and more e'er quote I found! That's a true definition of #awomanscorned !💛
"I bet all the boys were loving this at the time!" Yes. Yes we were.
Yeah. I was 12 when this came out, and let's just say, as much of a crush as I had on Carrie Fisher before, well after the gold bikini...
Poster
Yes... at the time...
I liked this comment before I noticed it was on 69 so I had to unlike it. Sorry.
It's funny.
I was 11 when ROTJ came out.
I was old enough to be fully immersed in Star Wars, and cognizant of a lot of details, but young enough to never see Leia as a sex symbol.
I always loved Leia as a character.
I suppose if I had been 5 or 10 years younger, I would not have been "along for the ride" with the original generation of Star Wars fans. If, however I had been 5 years older, I would likely have been much more impacted by seeing Leia in her "carbonite bikini".
"They dont have the same mother"
Literally "TWIN SISTER"
I think the Ewoks ate whoever wore her dress last 😂😂😂
Me too
You know, that's both entirely likely and really unsettling. 😮
"Yub-yub" means " Eat the weak, "
@@bwiedor could have been from the towani's ship too
Hahaha, I just assumed they had some skilled seamstresses in the village, but that is so much better.
"How come she keeps getting abducted by people who have outfits ready for her."
I never realized that before. 😄
This is why we need Cobe's unique analysis!
It's called sowing (EDIT: correct word is: *_sewing_* ). We have outfits for dogs and cats. Bears too. Even Rosie O'Donnell.
People used to overwhelmingly make their own clothes.
I'm going to guess Jabba's former slave girls wore the same size. The man knows what he likes lol.......as for the ewoks having her size clothes, maybe they were from the last person they cooked? Lol
The Jabba thing at least can somewhat be explained by the existence of his band and twi'lek dancers.
Yeah ... The Ewok outfit is kinda inexplicable, but Jabba has slave girls and twilek women and human women have the same parts ... less the ears of course.
I love how the editor included her saying “not a scratch” then when the Falcon got a scratch she wasn’t looking at the screen. 😂
Bro, I yelled at the screen when that happened!!! LOL
I always yell at Lando when he loses that radio dish haha. LIAR!
“I said I wouldn’t get a scratch on her. I didn’t say anything about not losing the radar dish.”
she missed a L0T trying to show us how good she is at figuring out the plot. I dont think she saw rage in Luke AT ALL in his final 3 bludgeoning lightsaber strikes and she didnt seem to react to the hand chop at all. .
@@0okamino funnily enough This is actually referenced in a later novel from the Expanded Universe (I forget which one). Lando and Han are in the Falcon's cockpit and during a maneuver that was rather precarious, Han quips, "Wow we almost lost the dish there." Then he glances over knowingly at Lando who proceeds to say: "I said I was sorry about that!!!"
The reason it was so "easy" to kill the Emperor was because he was so focused on killing Luke he couldn't "feel" Vaders intentions. As for why Vader died, the Emperor made Vaders suit very susceptible to lighting, to have power over him, and it short circuited Vaders breathing apparatus.
Yeah. Under ordinary circumstances the Emperor could have killed any potential assailant with a thought. He was so fixated on Luke and so confident in Vader's subservience that he never contemplated his betrayal. He simply didn't understand his love for his son.
@@joshjames582 Not only that. Vader could be saved, he also can call the force as save himself. But he chose to die so his self sacrifice atone for all the crimes he done and turn back to the light. Thus fulfilling the prophecy of the One and his role to destroy the Sith.
Yeah the Emperor was absolutely furious with Luke for not turning. You can tell by his facial expressions, he was putting all his anger and disgust into punishing and killing Luke.
“Well. That’s not James Earl Jones.” That was hilarious. 😂😂
"And beneath his beautiful black visage is a feeble old white man!" 😉
It's also no Green Cross Code man either. (The actor used to teach children how to cross the road safely in UK public information films in the 70's and 80's) Why is hole other story.
For some reason, I feel like James Earl Jones would probably not work too well as Luke's father.
David Prowse
@@stuartanderws5705 I thought that was Sebastian Shaw in make up.
Everyone's fav Popcorn Roulette - Coby-Wan Kenobi

Just say what everyone is thinking…we’d all love to see Coby in that bikini… 🔥
*I think you mean Christy Romano.*
@@BDogg2023SERIOUSLY ❤❤😂😂
👍😂😂🤣
When i was young, i saw these films multiple times in the theater. It was a nice escape from the troubles of the bad neighborhood i lived in. Truly Magical. Thank you George Lucas.
Every time I see it, I can't believe George Lucas replaced Yub Nub. The sacrilege.
Right? Pure blasphemy😞
100% I heard it 30 years ago and I can still hum it.
I can't forgive that aboniation known as "Jedi Rocks," when literally _all_ they had to do was insert the soundtrack version of Lapti Nek. Bam! Edition Specialized!
Every change is for the worse. But Vaders "Nooooo" might be the worst thing to have been done to a movie, ever!
i second that : /
The reason Leia says she's somehow always known Luke is her brother is because she felt a connection to him like she's felt with no other person. When presented with the fact that they're related, it just made sense because of that feeling she's had.
Another theory is that she was referring to being Force sensitive. I've never heard GL explain it so it's whatever we think...
Also, she is force sensitive, which gives her special insight and adds to the connection felt with Luke.
Force feeling that is
There was also the specific connection in Empire when Luke called her for help while dangling at the bottom of the station.
Girls give me this line all the time. They feel such a connection with me they want to treat me like a brother…
The principal in Ferris Bueller's Day off: "So *_that's_* how it is in their family..."
The actor is a child sex offender, so...
Leia is from Alderaan. It's kinda the Arkansas of the galaxy.

@@jerodast ... that's French for "Your @$$ is mine" ...
Salacious Crumb = "A muppet on meth" 🤣🤣🤣
The Emperor's lightning destroyed the suit that kept Vader Alive
And also electrocuted his body (or what was left of it). But the damage to his life-support system inside his armor was evidently the main factor.
"A Muppet on meth" 😂😂😂
Jabba was smoking 🚬 a hookah.
That and snow wookie were hilarious 🤣
I thought that perfectly described Salacious Crumb!
My new rock band is now called "Muppets on Meth"
That was a great line. lol
Every time I see the special edition of this film I just groan with Vader saying “no”. Originally he didn’t say anything before turning on the emperor. To me it works so much better that way, a man silently in a struggle within himself and in that silence seeing his son being murdered sacrifices himself to save his son.
Way better than the very operatic “nooooo!”
most of Lucas's later additions were poor, IMO. Don't even get me started on Han vs Greedo
Definitely the original was so much more impactful, without the silly noooooo
100%! I hate all the "Special Editions". Not only do they make the story weaker but ironically the CGI has not stood up as well as the practical effects. The wampa scene in the ice cave was better before when you couldn't really see it, Han and Greedo scene was better (much better arc for Han), the Jabba scene outside the Falcon was stupid and superfluous, etc., and as you say the "no" takes away from that scene.
That is what happens when there is nobody around that will say no to George... we get the "Special Editions" and the PT.
In the German Version Darth Vader is quiet. Because the Sound is remasterd in this Version.
I also hated what they did with the Sarlacc Pit, looks so phoney. I miss the Ewoks singing YuB Dub at the end. The thing that didn't make any sense is replacing Anakin's spirit with a younger version instead of the original theatrical version when they didn't change Ben and Yoda.
This movie is the culmination of two huge classic story tropes. Aniken Skywalker finally gets redemption through his son. And Luke Skywalker finishes his hero's journey to redeem his father.
Coby’s reaction to the Leia revelation is like everyone’s. First he’s got a sister? Then eww the kisses… lol
Vader's character arc is legendary in theses movies.
The entire story is about the fall & rise of anakin skywalker
NOOOOOOOOO
I have NEVER accepted the prequels portrayal of anakin. It’s just so disappointing after I had 20 + years to think about what a pre Vader Skywalker would be like. Sigh.
Luke's lightsaber is green because the blue one wouldn't show up against the blue sky.
They explained that Luke had to build his own lightsaber as part of his Jedi training.
That and it was also to help establish it is a new Lightsaber for the general audience. There are other reasons but these came after the fact (Jedi Guardians, Consulars, Sentinals, etc.)
There was a delete scene that showed Luke built a new lightsaber..
They were out of stock of blue light sabers at the store so he had to buy a green one. It's in the director's cut.
It wasn't because of the blue sky, but because of the sand.
@@jamesf791 Nope.
I just read up on the reason. It was that the blue wouldn't show up against a blue sky.
"Well... That's not James Earl Jones..." - This must be one of the funniest things I've ever heard!! LOL!!! 🤣
I was 9 when this came out, Jedi will always be my favorite, and I'll always love the Ewoks.
Vader's death scene: English actor Sebastian Shaw was the man behind the mask. Shaw was also Anakin's ghost, who appeared with Yoda and Obi-Wan at the end. As others have said, David Prowse played Vader in the suit, while James Earl Jones provided the voice behind the mask.
I always thought Sebastian Shaw looked like Ray Milland playing a harmonica at the end.
@@stewartstafford ... 😆😆😆
@@stewartstafford That's Brilliant!! i cannot un see that image now !! 😆
Only the original version without Jedi rock.
@@nathancruz9172 ….. Having a different Anakin ghost at the end didn’t bother me much. The abomination known as “Jedi rock” is tops on my list of Worst Film Changes. Lucas had no shame back then.
All Leia's kisses for Luke were motivated by emotions: luck, jealousy, empathy, comfort. But not one of those kisses was motivated by feelings of romance.
Great way of putting it - this needs to be rolled out to so many people that don't get that.
George Lucas didn't decide that Luke and Leia were siblings and twins until late into the filming of ESB. So those kisses were what they were. 😊
I don’t know, I’m pretty sure he nailed her.
It always makes me uncomfortable when people think that there was something incestuous between Luke and Leia. My question to them remains: Are we watching the same Star Wars, are you looking at a specific kind of parody?
@@raybernal6829 That may be true, but nothing done indicates that the kiss represented lust in any way. Feelings of love for someone can be prompted by many things, often misunderstood things, as they are in this case. Perhaps folks should check themselves for hidden motivations. 🤔🤔
5:54 And in the original release Return of the Jedi is the first time we as an audience learn Darth Vader’s real name is Anakin Skywalker!
Hey Colby, If Luke lusting after his sister wasn't bad enough, think about Vader unknowingly torturing his own daughter...
Coby: "Well, still a bit mouthy for family". - I would say so. 😄
Coby: "Ewww!" - Exactly 😄
At the very beginning of this video… listening to her talk like Leia might possibly pick Luke to be lover, I was dying laughing knowing that she’s about to find out that they’re brother and sister 😂
14:19 mark -- Coby's reaction to seeing Carrie Fisher in slave-princess garb. Hilarious/priceless.
Generally, most women would be offended if the lead female character walked around in a bikini for the entire movie. But not Coby!
... file under #onlywomanonplanetwishingformorebikinileia
Something I just noticed. That storm trooper that slapped Han after he snapped that twig was strong as hell! Han went FLYING back!
Coby "where is her bikini, a few secondes later EWOKS" 😅😅😅 Coby cracks me up 😅😅
The kiss from Leia to Luke was nothing but anger and frustration and to get under Hans skin. Nothing more
Also in the real world brothers & sisters have been known to kiss that way when greeting each other. Never understood why people react to that kiss as if it's disgusting
Nah, she was a pervert, she wanted to know how it would be like. Hence why she told Luke “ some how I always knew”
@@thereisnopandemic that does not equate to perv at all. Try again
It’s not like they were frenching & he was getting down her pants or anything, lol. I really don’t understand why people make such a big deal over it. Nobody batted an eye back then.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 100% I guess the newer generations are extra sensitive or something. It was a mistake and a misundeerstanding that lasted less than 2 seconds total.
I saw this movie on opening day in 1983 when I was but a young lad. That ending had the theater cheering. Now, I can’t experience that again for the first time, but I can experience you experiencing it for the first time, and you absolutely did not disappoint! Excellent reaction!
That was an amazing time, wasn't it? It was great fun to see my younger friends experience the original films during the special edition re-releases in 1997, and now years later here. Fun seeing how Coby's having such a great time watching them!
When Coby said that Leia looked hot in the black outfit, the fifteen year old me who saw this movie at the cinema said "You ain't seen nothing yet"
Coby: Luke gets the friendly family kisses.
Everyone:😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
When this film premiered, there was a cinema in London that was showing parts IV and V up to midnight and after midnight they showed VI (announced by Anthony Daniels - not in costume). The whole cinema was comprised of Star Wars fans and many were in costume. It was a fantastic atmosphere and a great evening.
Yes, I saw the triple bill too in Dublin even though I'd already seen the first two, it was a unique experience to see them all back-to-back on the big screen.
Interesting fact:
The scenes where Lando is talking to the alien copilot on the Millennium Falcon. Lando asks a question in English and the copilot responds in an "alien" language, right?
When it was shown in Africa audiences were cracking up!
The alien language is Swahili.
They were phrases from a translation book.
Lando says something important and the alien asks "Where is the bathroom?" etc.. 😂
My hovercraft is full of eels
@@nac5901would you like to come back to my place? Bouncy! Bouncy! I am no longer infected
they had a body builder named David Prowse playing Vader for everything except the Un-masking. One of the things that goes under the radar is the physical acting of Vader. You can feel his emotions through out all 3 original movies yet never see his face. Top tier physical acting by Prowse
Bob Anderson was Vader during duels.
Yeah, Prowse was taken away in the duels because he couldn’t fight.
Yes, this is the first time we as an audience got to see Jabba back in 1983. The Jabba scene in A New Hope was originally shot with a human actor playing Jabba, who Lucas intended to replace via bluescreen with a stop-motion animated creature. He ran out of time and couldn't make it the way he wanted, so he cut the scene. In 1997 the scene was added back in for the Special Edition of the movie(along with other changes), using a CGI Jabba that looked like crap. In 2004 for the DVD release a new, better-looking CGI Jabba which is what you see now. In the original scene Han walked behind the human actor, with the CGI Jabba the footage was manipulated to make it look like Han is stepping on Jabba's tail.
_A long time ago, in a movie theater about five miles away ..._
*EPISODE VI*
*JABBA THE HUTT, THE GOVERNOR, AND THE BANGIN' NEW SOUND SYSTEM*
I saw _Return of the Jedi_ in the Stuart (now Roccoco) Theater in Lincoln, Nebraska. She took up the first six floors of the 10-story Stuart Building.
Like many theaters of her era, the Stuart had once been a live theater later converted to cinema. She originally hosted the local symphony orchestra, theatrical companies, operas, touring companies, vaudeville, etc.
When she was converted to cinema, they sold her backstage area. Today, it's a theater-themed night club: _The Barrymore_ .
The Stuart was one of those Grand Dame theaters: six stories high, three balconies, box seats, hand woodworking, and gold and silver inlays everywhere. There was a gigantic chandelier over the main floor. She seated 1,850.
She was truly a beautiful sight to behold.
At the time I saw _Jedi_ , she had a bangin' new sound system -- which is a good time for a flashback ...
_Slightly longer ago, at a High School about three miles away ..._
It was my Senior year in High School, and I was several days from graduating.
The school held an assembly to acknowledge honor students, which I wasn't. Along with hundreds of other students, I'd be bored out of my mind for the next three hours.
Then it hit me, like a flash of lightning:
_The Stuart Theater is offering free admission to an obscure movie, so that they can show off her bangin' new sound system_ .
After weighing my options, I decided to go do the Stuart Theater. I mean, what were they going to do, give me detention? I was graduating in a few days!
As everyone else went to the school auditorium, I went in the opposite direction, to the school's main exit.
However, as I was walking down the hall, who should be approaching but the Principal, two Vice-Principals, and the Governor of the State of Nebraska. The Governor was scheduled to give some kind of speech about how wonderful life is and we have so much ahead of us, blah blah blah.
I assumed my goose was cooked. The Principal and his Vices knew precisely where I was supposed to be, and it wasn't headed out the door.
What I hadn't counted on was that admonishing me in front of the Governor would be embarrassing for the Principal. I'm sure they told the Governor how squeaky-clean the school was, how the students are all fantastic, how there were never any problems, etc. To admonish me would be to destroy the propaganda.
So we simply passed each other. I politely said hello to the Governor and nodded to the Principal and his Vices. They gave me angry hellos between clenched teeth.
And then I walked out the door, hopped in my Chevy Chevette, and went to the Stuart.
_Meanwhile, back at Return of the Jedi ..._
The Stuart's bangin' new sound system was not only bangin', it was astonishing. Imagine hearing Maestro John Williams' brilliant score as it shook the entire theater. It was no less impressive than a live performance by the London Symphony Orchestra.
But that wasn't even the half of it. When Jabba had his first line, " *Bo shudda* ," the bass shook the rafters and thundered throughout the whole building.
I recall being in the middle seat, of the first row, of the first balcony with some friends. The floor and guardrail shook like a minor earthquake.
It doesn't matter how good your home sound system is, the music isn't reverberating the steel support beams of a 10-story building.
I sat there for two hours just waiting for good bass, and was never disappointed. I mean, at the very least there was the London Symphony Orchestra performing the score, as composed and conducted by Maestro John Williams!
So while this wasn't as immersive as the Indian Hills Theater for _A New Hope_ , it was sill impressive!
*Bo shudda!*
Just last night I saw your other two reactions to the other two films in the classic trilogy. I'm glad I don't have to wait at all to see the conclusion. Thanks for making the videos, I loved them. After watching them, I have had the idea of recording myself and my little son when he sees these movies for the first time. It will be a nice memory.
Same. I was watching g the other two and genuinely enjoyed her reaction. I was excited when I saw it was coming out today and immediately clicked the notification for the premiere 🤗...
37:39 😂 Princess Leia had multiple outfits because Lucas was trying to sell more merch: Toys, Cards, Posters, and Burger King collectors glasses💯
Now Princess Coby, you are now ready for Mel Brooks Space Balls! It’s a Star Wars parody.
Another poster thought up a much better nickname for her: Coby-Wan Kenobi! 😃👍
But not yet ready for Weird Al :)
@@MarkMcLT ... Weird Al was magic and could see the future! In his song Yoda there's a line that says "We'll be making these movies till the end of time" and that's exactly what they're doing!
Space balls is not funny.
I stand by that this is one of the greatest redemption stories of all time when it comes to Vader, counterintuitively.
This guy was practically the boogeyman of Star Wars. He was ruthless, cruel, and vicious in his conquests, both to his enemies and his allies. There is not one instance in the three movies where it's even hinted at that there is still good in him, he doesn't do a single good thing. The most we get is that he used to be a good man. But Luke is the first and only one to say he still is.
And every reactor says the same thing when Luke says it "What the hell are you thinking?"
Then Luke and Vader talk on the bridge and we get the first sign of humanity from Vader. "It is...too late for me, son." The way James Early Jones delivers that line is so subtle but implies the emotions going through his head. Then the scene ends with Vader looking off in the distance, and the body language is such that there is some sadness to him, or else a longing on what could have been.
But we still see no evidence of good in him. But inevitably by the time the Emperor is electrocuting Luke, every reactor does the same thing. "COME ON!!! SAVE HIM!!!" He does. And it is the sole proof that we as an audience need that Luke was right.
People go from thinking it's crazy to think Vader would do this for his son to begging Vader themselves and feeling so in awe and relief that he actually does. And many are in tears by the time of Vader's funeral. I repeat, the absolutely terrifying, imposing, villain who was part of an evil fascist dictatorship makes people cry at his funeral.
I'm actually shocked at how effective of a change this is to get through to so many people with so little. And I fully credit this to visual filmmaking and a certain style of storytelling that is fading into obscurity where you didn't need a full backstory to understand a character
Well actually the first sign of « good » is when he didn’t punish or killed the commander after they made a mistake. It was really well played as the commander was even surprised to not be punished …..this is the moment where you see anakin resurfaced
And thats why there was no prequel needed to "explain" Vaders past. The prequels are bad, really bad. Plinkett said everything there is to say about them.
I don't think io him as a good man even in the good old days. He was a good fighter is the best it got.
@@MultiJp51 If you are speaking of the end of Empire Strikes Back, then I believe the reason he did not kill the commander was because he was deep in thought over his son.
@@jamesellis1972yes and that’s the start of the « conflict » he feels growing for the first time after 20+ years
Yes Coby, the space battle and indeed the whole film was an AWE INSPIRING experience on the big screen. As a thirteen year old STAR WARS obsessed boy, the several times I saw it that Summer were like HEAVEN for me. The space battle is STILL recognized as one of THE BEST ever put on screen.
The rebellion rescued by a platoon of primitive teddy bears. Props to those deemed humble and insignificant!!
Coby, let's get serious... Of course we want to see you react to the other Star Wars films!
Or not. There are much better movies out there to spend time with
@@wsbchk_ I am a OG SW fan, I saw them in theater the opening week. I was not a huge fan of the prequels, but they grew on me as I watched my kids fall in love with Obi Wan and Anakin, and realized that Luke belongs to my generation and Anakin belongs to theirs. But one undeniable fact about the prequels. Anakin's character arc from a kid to his redemption is so much better because of the prequels, and the Clone Wars, of course.
Lando’s co-pilot was puppeteered by my friend Mike!
That’s so awesome!
That’s awesome. Also, my dad’s friend Andy knows Billy Dee Williams well.
"Like a Muppet on Meth" - love it!
I continue to appreciate the reverence in the scene with C-3PO giving the history of their struggle. This long after EP4 where 3PO tells Luke he isn't any good at telling stories after they first meet.
I was a kid when these came out. My family saw them all at the drive-in. It was a great memory.
Interesting that you called the mini-walkers the "Dodo Bird Robot" as my Dad used to call them "Chicken Walkers." When this came out, Darth Vader came to my local store to sign autographs in the gardening section. (I associate the smell of peat moss with Vader to this day!) He had a blue Bic biro pen in his leather-gloved hand and I was so impressed that the Empire used Bic biros just like the rest of us. He finished signing and swept through all the plants and flower pots in his long, black cloak. Impressive, most impressive.
It's surprisingly fun to watch your reactions to films I have been a fan of for decades. My friends and I have watched these films so often that we know the dialogue by heart. To see someone experience it for the first time reinforces our love for these films. Thank you for doing this
How do more reacters not notice Vader's labored breathing immediately after getting electrocuted by the Emperor? He has a respirator that keeps him alive, which is made obvious literally all throughout his presence on-screen, and the lightning from the Emperor destroyed it. It was obvious when he collapsed back into Luke's arms that he was gravely wounded.
Luke said exactly like his mom said that there's still good in him(Anakin)
"He's the last big baddie dodo-bird." Now, there's a phrase I haven't heard in a long time. (Nor have I ever seen this kind of enthusiasm for Ewoks.)
Yeah, really. The general verdict among us who saw the OT in theaters was that they sucked. But she makes me want to give them another chance...
Darth Vader needed the suit to live (you will understand it more with the prequels), and without the suit only his rage and anger could keep him alive. When he came back to the light, with the suit circuits broken by dark force lightnings, there wasn´t chance to survive.
Also if he stayed alive the new republic would still want him prosecuted.
@@Ryzza5 Exactly. Lucas avoided the messy scenes of billions of survivors with family members who were murdered by Vader and the Empire calling for his execution.
“Muppet on meth” is accurate for most of the denizens of Jabba’s Palace.
a number of things were added after the prequel trilogy was complete: in the original, Vader was completely silent when he killed the Emperor, his Force Ghost was Sebastian Shaw (the guy inside the Vader suit) , they only showed Tatooine & Endor (rather than Naboo, Coruscant, Tattooine, Bespin, Endor and Tatooine,) celebrating the victory and they used an entirely different (and much better, imo) victory song in said celebration.
No no no! David Prowse played Vader, but for the unmasking scene it was Sebastian Shaw. And in ESB during the lightsaber fight they brought in some Japanese sword fighting expert to play Vader.
They did not show Tatooine celebrating in the theatrical version. Only Endor.
I miss "Yub Nub"
I have been looking forward to this for the last two weeks!!
Darth Vader is played by 4 people in the original trilogy:
1. the body is former champion bodybuilder, David Prowse
2. the sword, Olympic fencer and stunt choreographer,
Bob Anderson
3. the face, force ghost Anakin and helmet removal scene is Sebastian Shaw, Hayden Christensen was added after the prequels
4. the voice.. Vader would be far less intimidating without the amazing voice work of James Earl Jones
Bodybuilder David Prowse played Darth Vader when he was fully in the suit and helmet. When Luke removes his helmet, he's played by actor Sebastian Shaw. The "Force ghost" of Anakin at the end is played by Hayden Christensen. Having Anakin's ghost revert to his younger self represents Anakin's redemption, returning his spirit to when he was a good man, before he fell to the Dark Side and became Vader. Of course, Christensen was added to the movie long after Return of the Jedi had been released, as Shaw originally appeared as Anakin's ghost until Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was released.
In between the movies, Luke did a lot of solo training and got stronger in the force. That’s why Yoda said no more training needed.
Also you’ll understand Vader a lot more after watching the prequels.
Eh, not really. Anakin's motivations don't really make any sense in the prequels. Like, they gesture at reasons, but it doesn't add up.
James Earl Jones was only the voice. For the first 2 movies and this one until the death scene it was David Prowse in the suit-1 6'7 bodybuilding and strength athlete. The actor in the suit for the death scene was Sebastian Shaw.
George Lucas said he wanted the Empire with all its tech to be defeated by someone that ONLY had rocks and sticks. In the original theater release the actor that played the unmasked Vader at the end was one of the three Ghost Force but after the pre-quils came out he was digitally replaced.
Leia was not originally going to be Luke's sister. Luke's sister was instead going to be someone we never meet in the original trilogy. She was going to be the subject of sequels. She was going to be someone already turned to the dark side, and the trilogy was going to be Luke travelling to an as yet unseen part of the galaxy to try to turn her back like he did with his father.
However, Lucas said he had so many struggles and issues with just trying to get the original three films made that by the time he got to Return of the Jedi he just wanted to be done with Star Wars altogether, and so during preproduction he changed the story to make Leia the sister. It works as long as you don't think too much about it. A sequel trilogy about Luke's sister would have been much better though
I don't buy Lucas' version of that completely because shortly after we here there is another in Ep. 5, Luke reaches out to Leia with the force and she senses him, leading the audience to believe she is the other Skywalker. All well before Ep. 6.
Yeah, it's similar to how Lucas changed his mind from Vader killing Luke's father to being his father between the first two films.
And in the end the extended universe turned that concept into Luke's eventual wife, Mara Jade.
Those aren't spider droids. They are the B'omarr Monks. They put their brains in this machine that looks like a spider.
Yeah. Spider droids.
@@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm Droids aren't living creatures. B'omarr Monks are.
Technically speaking, the one seen in Jabba's palace wasn't a B'omarr Monk, but an "associate" that Jabba wanted to punish so had the B'omarr Monks perform their procedure on him. Han got off LUCKY.
I love how excited you are over a movie series that you weren't even interested in before. So much fun to see you watch it for the first time!
Thank you for letting us watch it again for the first time through your eyes.
Watching Star War reactions is what got me started with watching reactions, and this was a great time. I hope Coby will watch episodes 1,2,3.
'You are right we didn' t see Jabba until Jedi. The scene of Jabba in A New Hope was inserted for the special editions.
I'm so glad this is the last Star Wars movie and none were made before or after. So satisfying.
On the Leia and Luke being siblings thing. I'll give them credit that it was not the original plan. If it was, I think they would have worked it differently, obviously.
That being said, I do think the twist is important. I used to be able to explain this thought well, and I'm not able to anymore, so bear with me.
Luke's story goes from "Can Luke defeat this great evil" to "Will Luke become this great evil" and then to "Can Luke save Vader?" That last question cannot be addressed until the second one is, and we know Luke well enough that the only thing that would cause him to turn is his love for his friends and family. Vader therefore needs a reason to go after someone in Luke's life, but someone who is terribly important. Leia being Luke's sister is the most dangerous role she could have. It's not just that she's going to be killed, they're going to try to turn her (for anyone who knows what goes into that training, not fun). So not only does this add a level of protection on Luke's side for her, it paints a target on her back much worse than before, and Luke knows it. If she was just someone he cared about who happened to be force sensitive, Vader and the Emperor wouldn't have pursued her half as much as they would knowing she's Vader's child. This was their trump card and it's the only thing that could have pushed Luke to the dark side as it so nearly does. I
And when he is pushed to the dark side, and he sees that he is following Vader down his path, that's the moment of truth. The moment Luke wins by denying his destiny and throwing his lightsaber away, and without which Vader could not have been turned.
On a side note, someone came up with an in universe explanation on Luke and Leia "knowing" they were siblings. They theorized that they felt a connection to each other through the Force but didn't know what it was, so they assumed it was attraction. But when Leia kissed Luke, they felt something was wrong and so they didn't pursue it any further. Quite frankly, it's the only explanation I've heard that makes it less weird
It is right....The first movie was written without a plan going forward. They didn't expect it to blow up like it did. So the whole brother/sister thing was not a thought when A New Hope was done. Also back in those times (70's/early 80's) kissing on the lips of family members, and sometimes even friends was a more common thing.
Where? Appalachia?
@@wyrmshadow4374 Everywhere on the world, except prude USA
@@wyrmshadow4374 Don't know where you grew up, but apparently you didn't visit much beyond your own home town. I moved around a lot, my father was in the military, and even in the United States, I saw that there's a significant minority of people who kiss family on the lips and it's no big deal. Again, if they aren't hurting you why does it bother you?
Wishing you could watch it again for the first time is exactly why it's such a favorite series for reaction channels. Getting to see someone cool watch it for the first time is the next best thing. :)
Remember when every Star Wars fan unanimously agreed Ewoks were the _worst_ part of Star Wars? Weird times...
It’s funny because even at the time, I didn’t have an issue with the Ewoks. I saw them for what they were…deceptively cute but effective guerrila fighters….i remember reading that Endor was originally supposed to be home to the wookies, which would’ve been interesting
Now it's Jar Jar 😂😂😂
Growing up me and all of my friends loved the Ewoks and had the action figures and such. I remember in 1996, Starlog magazine put out a special edition mag entitled 50 Reasons why Jedi Sucked. With the Ewoks at #1. Ever since that, thats all I ever heard. Ewoks are lame, suck, etc.
@@porkins74 those kind of fans are going to be miserable no matter what
Actually i konw a lot of fans that have no trouble at all with those creatures. I think people started to hate ewoks after that caravan of courage film.
The really really really ridiculously good looking lady watches Star Wars? I’m in.
Excited to see this, hope you plan on watching the other two trilogies and story movies. Ignore the old people that are going to say this is where it ends, there are things to love and hate in every Star Wars movie.
Great reation video, Coby! My childhood memories of seeing these three films in the theatre are some of the best memories of my life.
Originally, this movie was going to be titled "Revenge of the Jedi". They even made the theater posters and promotional buttons with that title on them. But then George Lucas or someone else close to him remembered that revenge is the path to the dark side, so the title of the movie was changed to "Return of the Jedi". My first job was as an usher at a movie theater. I was hired for what they anticipated would be huge crowds for "Return of the Jedi". And yes, there were weeks worth of sold-out shows at my little four theater cinema with line stretching out into the mall. Before the movie's release, we had a chain wide training session held at the famous Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. After that training session, some of my fellow trainees and I went to a shop in Hollywood where I found one of those "Revenge of the Jedi" official buttons. I bought it. I've never had it appraised, but I'm sure it is worth quite a bit.
Cineramadome is a great theater. Saw 8 Mile there on opening night, as well as another Return…Return Of The King. Midnight, Thursday night/Friday morning opening day. Bought 16 tickets for me and all my friends. Parking structure took over an hour to get out of afterwards. Got home at 6am. Lol.
@BDogg2023 I agree. It was an incredible experience seeing movies there. I've seen several Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU, movies on that screen. Sad that its owner, Arclight Theaters, went out of business due to the pandemic. I really miss seeing movies there. But I just read that new owners are planning to reopen it sometime next year (according to "Variety").
I really would like it if Coby watched the Unspecialized versions of the original trilogy. Not for another set of reactions, but just to sort out the CGI nonsense and prequel references that were shoved in there.
The Hayden ghost makes no sense if you watch them in release order now
@@JRSiebz Exactly, and why keep Ben Kenobi ghost "old."
@@steve44t58 Obi-Wan was killed when he was old, Anakin shed the burnt aged body of Vader when he died.
I always saw Luke and leia’s relationship as more friendly than romantic, even though they kissed. So it’s not that weird imo
Yeah, I don't know why everyone makes it such a big deal. Luke had a crush on her in the first movie (mostly before they met), but he got over it. I think he knew by Empire that she was into Han--he wasn't fooled by that kiss.
@@melanie62954She still French her brother. Arkansas
@@thereisnopandemic I didn't see any tongue between them on Hoth, so no with the french kiss :P
I saw all of them in the theater with the same three friends. I was home on leave from Europe when this one came out. Seeing it on a huge screen was really something.
He's a feisty one...
*Chopper has entered the chat*
This is my fav of the original trilogy... though I love them all. I still remember waiting in line to see this in 1983!
Loved your OT reactions. Keep it real Coby, it will serve you well. ;)
As for Leia's outfits, specifically her gold one... that is a slave outfit (chain and collar) and Jabba has had many slave girls (green girl at the start of RotJ was also collared and chained). The reason it fit is because there would be a whole collection from which they would choose one to fit her. Yes, all the boys loved and still love Leia in her slave outfit. ;) I can't explain the Ewok dress though (especially since Ewoks did not have woven cloth knowledge).
"Empire" is and will always be my favorite (love all the OT though). Sorry to break it too you but no, the Ewoks were not universally loved, that is mostly a chick and kid thing.
Oh, one last thing... Luke seeing his father's mechanical hand and then looking at his own made him realize that he was starting down the same path as his father (becoming him) which helped him turn from the Dark Side.
EDIT: OK, one last last thing. 😆 The reason Yoda died so close to Luke returning is he was using the force to help keep himself alive until Luke returned. Once he did and he parted the knowledge he had to, he let go.
"Oh my GOGS! the last person to kiss my girlfriend was JABBA THE HUTT!!" - Han Solo
You have a fantastic laugh!
I envy you, getting to see these for the the first time. I can still remember being in junior high and then high school, seeing these on the big screen, when they came out in 1977, 1980, 1983. Pure movie magic
I've started re-watching these again since the 4K releases came out.
Okay, that is my FAVORITE name for the AT-ST walkers: Dodo Bird!
Jabba had a lot of slaves.
As you can tell from the palace scenes, some of them were human, some were Twi'lek, and some were other humanoid aliens.
Hence the bikini.
As for the Ewoks... they had human clothes because they ate the people who wore them.
Darth Vader's actor, was David Prowse, a well-known bodybuilder and weight lifter. The old man you see when Luke removed the mask, was Sebastian Shaw. In the original ending, you see Sebastian standing next to Obi-Wan and Yoda.
I was waiting for this... Brilliant movie, great classic. I hope u continue the saga. Cheers
15:28 People can knock Jabba for a lot of things, but you can't question his eye for fashion.
If Jabba had lived, he was going to start a successful bikini line on Tatooine.
"Well! That's not James Earl Jones!!'. LOL
A VERY SUCCESSFUL bikini line, indeed.
At the time George wrote A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, George didn't have the idea to make Luke and Leia brother and sister. When someone asked him about it after this, he laughted and said "Yeah, well, ignore that. lol"
I heard that too, but we know in TESB Yoda states "There is another" and Luke uses the Force to contact Leia when he is hanging from Cloud City. Seems like Lucas at least was planting the seeds of the possibility.
@@kickballjedi It might seem that way, but nope. Lucas in fact did not think of them as brother and sister until he was writing the screenplay for Return of the Jedi, after Empire was released. He planned to introduce a new character as the sister, but then realized it was too much extra work to fit in and just made Leia the sister. Fans like to retcon things to try and make sense, and some things might seem more plausible than others, but the fact is that it wasn't an idea until after Empire.
Oh he knew
So great to see how much you're enjoying the Star Wars saga. I hope you continue all the way through. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy thr ride. May the Force be with you.
Luke doesn't have to kill Vader, only confront him.
"I can't kill my own father."
"Then the emperor has already won."
That Obi-Wan being clever with what he says and doesn't say, sneaky as always :)
We get a glimpse of what Luke thought would happen, when he says "soon I'll be dead, and you along with me." Not sure how confident he was that Vader could be turned, but being blown up with the Death Star is a decent backup plan
@@chadjenkins4876 Luke was all in and accepting of the whole heroic self-sacrifice if it meant he took Vader and the Emperor with him. If his dad wasn't going to come back to the light, he was fine with them all dying.
The practical, movie making reason for the green lightsaber, was that it showed up better against the blue Tatooine sky. The in universe answer is that lightsaber colors are attuned to the type of Jedi. Blue for Jedi guardians, green for Jedi consulars. Guardians are more action oriented, where as consulars focused on negotiation, and compassion, before resorting to fighting. It's a little deeper than that, but that's the quick answer.
Yeah, and dark force user lightsabers are all red because of the process they put them through to change the kyber crystals.
@39:18 - "R2's a spicy little one".
Well, they did have to bleep out everything he said, so .... 😂🤣😂
Timeline of Han Solo being frozen in Carbonite is about a year. It had never been written for certain. 😊
I think the earlier continuity placed in at more like six months, but I could be remembering wrong. Or newer stories changed it.
I remembered it as about a year too, or maybe a year and a half. They had books covering that timeline back in the old canon.
Wrong, the correct answer is : no one gives a shit!
@@thereisnopandemic that’s obviously not true. Why come into the comments section of a Star Wars reaction video and have that attitude?
