It’s my favorite. And I’m a huge Star Wars fan. This is the best in my opinion. Can’t wait to binge watch all these.

I love Yoda's spirituality in this. Some of the things he says to Luke, especially the "luminous beings are we" line, apply just as well to the human spirit here in Force-free reality.

my favourite original trilogy movie....before the prequels they released the special editions of the originals in theaters, it was late 1990's, it was the first time in theaters experience to me with star wars and I watched this one 3 times...

Julian Ortiz

This will be all great reaction. Especially when you the emotion. If you want to feel the emotion and feel of the movie watch it 45 123 than 6 to get the feel of the entire trilogy.if you do the release date it doesn't do that much. George Lucas even said its one big movie and meant to see it 1 through 6 not 456. But you can see it 45 than 123 and 6 and you'll get why the last one says Return of the Jedi.

One of the best sequels ever made, with one of the most iconic lines ever in a script, revealing one of the most iconic twists in a movie. And Harrison Ford ad libbing an iconic response to Leia’s “I love you”….”I know”. The epic saga continues.

one of the best sequels of all time

This is bar none, without a doubt, the single best Star Wars film, ever.

Man, as a huge Star Wars fan, I'm so happy you're doing these! I haven't had time to watch the first one yet, but when I have time, I'm going to watch them both. All three if the third one comes out as quickly as this one did. I'm excited to watch. So, two of my favorite fun facts about this film, which no doubt lots of other people will also tell you: When this movie was still in production, they were worried about it getting spoiled that Vader is Luke's father, so that part of the storyline was kept secret. It was apparently such a closely guarded secret that Mark Hammel (Luke) didn't even know James Earl Jones (Vader) was going to say that line until he spoke it. No one knew until that moment, except those who had to know. They also kept it from Mark because George Lucas wanted Mark's genuine reaction in the moment. Which means at least some measure of the surprise on Mark's face in that scene is real. In the scene where Leia says "I love you," and Han replies, "I know," the original script had Han say, "I love you too." But when Harrison Ford saw that part of the script, he told Lucas something like, "Han would never say that." So Lucas told Harrison to just say whatever came to his mind, whatever he thought Han would say. I always get so happy when people love that line as much as you do, because while it seems like great writing, and it is a great line, it wasn't scripted. Harrison just blurted it out on the fly. Funny how one of the most iconic lines in film history is completely improvised.

ho my when luke lost his hand i looked at you and your bottom lip was going crazy and i was saying dont cry or il pock you in the eyes and you didn't cry emotional yes but no crying yes my dear mando takes place 5 years after ep 6 mando is using it when he captures his bounties i loved this reaction everyone thinks 5 is the best i never used to like 5 but now i love it you know ho yes the little droids you see on the star destroyers are called mouse droids its what chewee scared is the last film picturing the force like a cobweb that fine but dont picture it like a sting or thread luke had visions of there pain but that happened before they were captured on cloud city

Mitchell Scott

Your comment about the force as a web, that actually makes alot of sense for your first time witnessing this. You're getting it! As for Han being tortured to lure Luke through the force? Yep, spot on. Vader knows Luke is strong with the force, and is much more knowledgable about the force as he was a trained Jedi "Before he turned to evil". So yes, he knew luke would probably feel it and likely come running. It's also a test in itself, is he strong enough with the force to feel it? Is he emotionally weak enough to be manipulated? You already picked up that vader was getting to know his son, and part of that is testing his abilities, and also "how much like me are you?". At least, that's what I take away from it.

Julian Ortiz

George Lucas already had plans for the prequel for episode 123 but the technology wasn't there yet to make it

Ron White

Lukes failure at the cave was because he was hearing Yoda's words but not taking them to heart. Yoda was explaining the grand concept of the Force but Luke still saw it only as a way to fight and become a warrior. Yoda told him he wouldn't need his weapons but he took them anyway. Thus he became a man who only has a hammer for a tool so that every problem looks like a nail. If he had left his weapons and gone in with an open mind and more strategic viewpoint he would have had a completely different experience. His face being revealed inside the mask was a warning that he was starting on the wrong path. George Lucas fashioned the Jedi after the Japanese Samurai and the Code of Bushido. Many top level Samurai were also artists, poets, philosophers and thinkers. The Force is just a version of the martial arts concept of "chi" which originated 5000 years ago in China and is said to be necessary for health and wellness and flows through all persons and things in nature. Modern practices such as tai chi and feng shui seek to cultivate and balance these forces in todays world. The ability to use the Force in the movie is not relative to physical size but to spritual strength for those who have best been able to harmonize the these forces in their life. You stated that Vader seemed strong but you also called him evil. Evil always has a blind spot. This is why Vader turned into what he did. He was spritually weak. Thus he can never equal the true ultimate power of Yoda and Obi-Wan.

The hair braids on Boba Fett's shoulder are wookie scalps, some say they were Jedi padawan braids but the old books and blueprints show boba's armor and it's listed as wookie scalps braided as trophies. The weird creatures at the end are called Ugnaughts.

Pistols O'Brien

That's not quite right, but you're right that the line was a VERY closely guarded secret. James Earl Jones' voice was added in post, in the suit was David Prowse in all three movies. Mark Hamil was told by the director, Irvin Kershner that the real line was "I am your father" But Prowse in the Vader suit said "Obi-Wan killed your father. " The only ones who knew the real line were Mark Hamil, Irvin Kershner, and George Lucas.

Raven Dark

Oh, that's right! I completely forgot that the James Earl Jones wasn't in the costume. That's a weird mistake for me too, because I remember seeing all the specials where they talk about David Prowse being the body for Vader, and how they wanted a different voice for him. I even remember David talking about how he got the part, that he walked in, he was this really big guy, and the director was like, "You're hired." LOL

SplinterTME

In the EU/Legends Carbonite has been used before. Lando's facility was geared towards shipping goods and tibanna gas, not living subjects. But you are correct that this movie made it popular, so all that is retconned. As for the torturing of Han Leia and Chewie, you are right. Darth Vader was using Luke's friends pain to lure Luke to Bespin before he was ready. You have the concept of the Force pretty well pegged, as far as the connectivity. The light side is service and acceptance: you act to protect life, to heal, to help things grow — without insisting that outcomes obey you. Loss hurts, but it’s understood as part of being alive, not a failure of will. Death comes but that is just a part of life. The dark side begins with fear. Fear of loss. Not just wanting to save yourself or someone — but deciding the universe is wrong if it refuses to obey you. From there it’s hatred, control, possession, and eventually violence justified as “necessary.” Death is something to be defeated not accepted. Yes you can mine or harvest gas. Bespin harvests tibanna gas which is used in blasters and turbolasers. Blasters take a reactive gas (often tibanna or a similar gas) from a cartridge, energize it with a power cell, and convert it into a high-energy particle/plasma bolt. That energized gas forms the “blaster bolt” that you see flying through the air, confined by magnetic fields or focusing components and carrying lethal energy to the target. It's why the bolts move slower then actual lasers and can be dodged and deflected. Sigh, I'm such a nerd...

2026-11-06 03:00 You are spot on about why Han was tortured, so Luke could see it. Thank you for understand Han, when He said "I know" so much woman reactors get mad and say, he should have said "I Love you too" but that is not Han. Once again you are dead on it. Now you are not alone, in fact most will agree and so do I. that this one is even better then the first one. It is most people favorite. Now your comment at the end, which I love always, was this world is there to build upon, This is way, we fans get upset when it is done wrong. We feel they do not understand this universe.

Oh I never heard anyone compare the force to a spider hahaha, but I like that one hahaha

George Roybal

The actor who played the General who blew up the power generator on Hoth during the ground assault. Is the only actor to be in two George Lucas, Harrison Ford written movies. The Empire and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He was the Villain who was looking for the Holy Grail.

John A

I saw this movie when it first came out and we all talked about it. When Yoda said, 'there is another" we were all trying to guess who is he talking about. hahaha. Also did that mean Luke was going to the dark side. When Vader said 'No, I am Your Father" we all went crazy, Now first time watchers, do not understand how big a moment that was. Yes people misquote that line time and time again, one example of the mandela effect.

Justtired

Every time Luke calls to Leia, I get teary too. And no, I have no idea why. Liking Empire over A New Hope isn’t controversial at all. This is my favorite film in the entire franchise Wonderful reaction, as always

La Baanga

Not sure if you ever watched the show "Cheers", but the rebel officer on Hoth who tells Leia they need to close the doors for the night played Cliff on that show, as well as a dizzying array of side characters in Pixar movies. Side note: Even in a career filled with amazing music, nothing John Williams wrote instantly gets my blood pumping every time like the asteroid chase theme. Side side note: I've heard many descriptions of Darth Vader in my life but "He's such an ass!" is a new favorite.

MertzRocks

Yes, Julian Glover played Donovan. He is also in a cool 1979 Doctor Who story, 'City of Death' playing an alien displaced across time who can appear human, with Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor, and a cameo by John Cleese (Monty Python franchise and Nearly Headless Nick in Harry Potter movies). And of course Julian Glover is also the infamous Grand Maester Pycelle in Game of Thrones!

MertzRocks

And how... Rock on, nerdlinger! 🤓 🤘😎🎸

MertzRocks

I'm picturing Donald Gibb as Ogre yelling, "Neeeerrrrrrdd!!!" Rock on, nerdlinger! 🤓 🤘😎🎸

MertzRocks

Why did I just envision Tom Hanks yelling, "There's no crying in Star Wars!" 💥- - 🔫

Nicholas Sala

Those small droids you saw on the Stardestroyers are the MSE-6 series repair droid. Nicknamed the mouse droid, the MSE is a nimble courier that delivers secure point-to-point communiqués. MSEs are also used for simple maintenance tasks including floor polishing and spot welding. On another note, been following your page for awhile now, both YT and here, and it makes me so happy that you are diving into this franchise. One of my favorites!

Riggo 82

Yes, Clavin was definitely, "in the the house". He also had a small role in Superman II.

Riggo 82

Yes, and it was Harrison Ford who came up with that line, too.

Riggo 82

Yes, you're right about the force not being about physical size, but every force user's strength is different. For instance, if/when Luke masters his abilities with the force, he will be the strongest Jedi in the history of the galaxy. That is of course according to no less than George Lucas, himself.

Riggo 82

True, but honestly, I wish he left Darth Vader's origin story a mystery. Nothing could have lived up to my own imagination.

Ian Forbes

Teegan, regarding your question about Vader holding the Falcon in place, remember what Yoda said: Size Matters Not (which also happens to be the name of the autobiography of Warwick Davis (who plays Wicket the Ewok in the next film, Prof. Flitwick in Harry Potter, the Leprechaun, and many more iconic roles. It’s a beautiful read about his life in and out of Hollywood). And of course, the real reason is: because it’s a movie and they needed it to happen this way. 😆

Marty McGee

Mark Hamil said in the script Vader said, "Obi-Wan killed your father." But that he was told the real line before it was shot. I can't remember if it was always planned that way or if it was a legitimate change though.

Marty McGee

Yeah "size matters not." But stopping a full-size spaceship traveling at speed would have to take immense focus. No matter which side of the Force. Not saying it's impossible though.

Ladies and gentlemen of Culture, we're on our way to Andor ;)

Jeff Turner

Also, most importantly, Warwick is Willow :)

Redd

Just want to say Empire is highly regarded as the best Star Wars movie. I agree.

Ziro the Hutt

My first Star Wars game was Empire here, on the Atari 2600!! And yes Vader can choke long distance, because he's, well, Darth Vader! Glad to see you recognise Wedge, the legend! The actor playing him, is Ewan McGregor's uncle. Btw since you watched Rogue One now, you heard Rogue Two here, named after them. And General Veers should be confident, he's a boss for an imp! The little droids are called Mouse droids. You mentioned about the IG-88 droid appearing in Mando; well the little guys who are the junkers and do the carbon freezing of Han, are called Ugnaughts, and you saw one in Mando with Kuill in season 1. Love Yoda being a scamp on first meeting, testing Luke from the off, about judging something he thinks is beneath him - being reckless! Luke should have known this was a being of wisdom when he said "wars not make one great". Then we get to the hut scene and Yoda's demeanour changes to that of the Jedi Grandmaster he is. This would have been a big risk trying to pull this off back then, with a puppet, but it works magnificently. I'm actually quite surprised that it doesn't seem you've seen much of Yoda, since he is so iconic in the franchise also. The force stuff in those training scenes, is the basis for the discussion on what we see in the force throughout the rest of Star Wars. And you are correct Teegan, a lot of what Yoda speaks about, is mastering ones self first, through training, just like what is taught in the better martial arts disciplines. Luke's training is constant failure; he doubts himself, doubts Yoda, goes into the cave not listening to Yoda about taking weapons, showing his fear; and his fear comes in the form of Darth Vader, foreshadowing that his father fell to the darkside, and it could very well happen to him. He again fails by going to Bespin and falling into Vader's trap; even if it was done for the right reasons, and it breaks him, as well as having consequences for his friends, Han especially. R2-D2 saves the day again!! Yes Vader could pull down the Millenium Falcon, we saw him do something simlar in the Obi-Wan series; but he's probably knackered from the fight with Luke, he is getting on a bit now! ;) I like your thoughts on the force itself and what Vader is going through on meeting Luke. Interesting stuff. I largely agree with both points there too. I do think at this point, that Vader is still on the manipulating side, trying to get him on board with the darkside, as this is what he's been these last 22 years (which is how old Luke is here); but as we see when we get to Return of the Jedi, Vader seems a lot more introspective in that film, suggesting he's not this void of darkness he once was, and there is hope for him still - and that makes him an interesting villain. Anyway, this is it; Star Wars doesn't get any better. I have in my top three, this at #1, A New Hope at #2 and Star Wars Rebels (yep the animation) at #3, which I hope you get around to some day. From start to finish, each scene has a purpose, has great momentum, expands greatly on the world-building and force introduced in Ep4; has great chemistry with the actors, action scenes and the lighting and cinematography are only just bettered by The Last Jedi some 35 years later. Its the perfect sequel, and quite rightly regarded as one of the best films ever made.

Ziro the Hutt

It still is Darth Vader at the end of the day, he probably could do it whilst a ship is travelling at speed. We saw him bring a ship down in the Kenobi series, but this is probably a different proposition.

Ziro the Hutt

After many takes where they tried other lines and it just wasn't working. This resolves beautifully in Return of the Jedi when the Han says to Leia about loving her and she replies with the "I know". So good.

Ziro the Hutt

Yep a lot of the force stuff George took, is from Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, so it matches up nicely with all that.

Ziro the Hutt

Yep Luke realises the potential that Anakin/Vader couldn't reach. Leia probably has that potential too, but she takes a different, but no less meaningful path.

John A

Yes Return of the Jedi, does a great reversal, which show Leia never forget what Han said and he smiles. So great.
