HI! I love your reactions! I have a quick question. Do all of your Patreon movies eventually get released to the main channel? I watched your watch-along with Karate Kid 2 and 3, but realized they have not been released to the main channel. Do you have some movies that are only on Patreon or is Patreon just that far ahead? Thanks again for all the work you do!

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

Usually, yes. KK2 and 3 have had some rare copyright issues so they haven’t been posted yet. The first one got flagged and demonetized 2 weeks after upload. On my channel, if a video is flagged it tanks impressions. You’ll notice that the Karate Kid upload hasn’t gotten any views in about a month. So it’s worse than just not being monetized! That’s why I gotta be extra careful about having a video fully clear checks to the best of my ability!

Daniel Sanz

Oh that makes sense, I'm sorry they did that to you. YouTube is so unpredictable with the demonetization. In any case, I appreciate you and enjoy watching you experience all my favorite movies growing up!

Alex Gorell

My favorite of the original 3.

Dan M

For the longest time, this was my least favorite of the original Star Wars trilogy. But the last few times that I’ve watched it, it has jumped in the ranks. While The Empire Strikes Back will always be at the top of the entire franchise for me, RotJ has leapt ahead of A New Hope (by a smidge…A New Hope will always have a special place in my heart). And the main reason it has continued to rise in my own personal Star Wars ranking is the redemption arc for Anakin Skywalker…and how Luke’s faith that “there is still good in him” helps spark that redemption arc. I still have mixed emotions about the Ewoks. Some of the scenes with them are a little corny. But the battle scene between them and the Stormtroopers still gives me goosebumps. Looking forward to continuing on your Star Wars journey with you tonight!

Robert da Spruce

I have fallen behind on your Star Wars reactions. Haven’t even watched your Empire reaction yet. But I hope to get caught up tonight Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying them though! Looking forward to watching your reactions!

I love the OT. But, I have to say that for me, this is the weakest film. The reason, the Ewoks. It just tonally doesn't fit with the rest of the film/trilogy. It's too goofy. And, to think that these little bear's could defeat a division of the Empire's finest troops is just ridiculous. However, setting that all aside, the rest of the film is awesome. And, the resolution of Darth Vader's storyline was, chef's kiss. Going to see this film, on opening night in 1983, was one of my fondest memories from my childhood. I feel so lucky to have grown up during that time.

Riggo 82

Man, I'm with you almost 100%. My only quibble is the battle between the Ewoks and the stormtroopers. I feel like it detracts from the stormtroopers competence/ fear factor as a fighting force, that they can be beaten by a bunch of teddy bears.

Chris

Agree with both of these--it's almost salvaged though by the moment when the one Ewok is killed and his buddy tries to rouse him before realizing what happened. I legitimately think that moment taught 5-year-old-me what death is and why it sucks.

Squid Rocks

You mentioned you wanna know what happened inbetween this movie and the previous one. I recommend reading the book Shadows of the Empire by Steve Perry. It's part of the original extended universe lore before Disney bought Star Wars, but it is still a really good read if you wanna know what happened between each original film.

Julian Ortiz

George Lucas chage it because that was still darth vader in his old self the darkside . The good anakin was young and the light side so to become a force ghost you couldn't be in the dark side. The good anakin die and anakin darth vader was born so the good anakin was gone so when he came back he was in his young self. The new ending is way better than the original probably 80% of star wars fans like the new ending

La Baanga

This one was always my favorite when I was a kid. I have core memories of sleeping over at my grandparents' house and waking up early Saturday morning to watch this while eating extra-buttery waffles for breakfast. Young Mike was living the dream.

scott osborne

thank god it was not a disney change the good thing is the change was done by george lucas himself that made the changes the changes was made before episodes 1 2 and 3 came out the final change was made just after episode 3 before lucas sold it i love your reaction to all 3 og star wars i knew you could not hold back the tears on this one you had teddy bears cute and cuddly and yes there was a cartoon called ewoks and i loved it Ewoks first appeared in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi on May 25, 1983. Following their debut, they starred in two television movies, Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985), and a 2D animated series that aired from 1985 to 1986.

scott osborne

there are 2 endings by done by george lucas you will see why george made the change after you watch 3

Dan M

I agree, Riggo. It is a little far fetched that these tiny primitive creatures can even put up a fight against the highly trained military of The Empire. But when that horn sounds, and all those tiny little heads pop up from hiding, it’s pretty awesome. And some of the methods they use to take down some of the Scout Transports are cool.

Riggo 82

I'll tell you this. George's heart was in the right place. He put the Ewoks in the film for little kids, specifically. But, my point is that it takes away from the film overall, and it wasn't necessary. Even as a child, I liked Empire the most of all the films. And, it was by far the darkest film of the OT. Just my opinion, of course. Anybody, who likes the addition of the Ewoks, is cool with me.

Ryan Ross

There have been 3 edits done since the original release. There was the 1997 Special Editions edit, then they made more changes for the Blu-Ray release, then even more changes for the Disney Plus release. The last official release of the original theatrical versions of the trilogy were on VHS.

Jonathan Schmidt

There were a number of edits starting with the special edition in the late 90s with new scenes and special effects. And then another edition with more updated special effects in the early 2000s and then another edition after the prequels.

MertzRocks

Really? JUST the ewoks? I agree with Dante in CLERKS: Randal Graves: Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back"? Dante Hicks: "Empire". Randal Graves: Blasphemy! Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings... All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets. 😜 (...and ewoks) My #1 Star Wars film is ep V. #2 for me is ep IV and #3 is Rogue One.

Grizzly

My favorite of the original three…and not because of Leia in the gold bikini 😁 It’s because of the completion of the cycle of Luke’s growth and the redemption of Anakin. I also prefer the original ending with the older Anakin Force ghost.

aarswft

There's a reason Luke looks Dark Side-y. In the original draft Luke was supposed to succumb to the dark side, but GL changed it because he was worried it would affect toy sales.

aarswft

Anakin as Vader murdered children and hundreds of innocents over the years. Chucking the Emperor over a railing well AFTER watching him torture your child isn't exactly his moment on the cross...

Patrick Toscano

Check out The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated shows. They contain a lot of star wars lore that fleshes out the movies and live action tv shows (Mandalorian, boba fett, and Ashoka)

John A

You right Boba Fett is so little in these two movie, but at the time, we all thought he was the coolest bounty hunter. We wanted to see more of him, but only saw him in the cartoon shown in The Star Wars Holiday Special. The characters in Star Wars are so great that you loved them, even if only small parts.

John A

I also like the original ending to ROTJ for the same reasons you mentioned, Luke knew him at his older self, same as Obi-Wan and Yoda. If I was Luke I would say who is that? hahahaha I miss the Ewok's song at the end also. Lucas made the change several to contact the prequels. I did not like that in this one. it does not ruin the movie for me, but every time I see it, I wish it was back. Also the song at Jabbas Palace was changed, I prefer the original better. The new one just takes me out of the mood. https://youtu.be/oyfcuv08SCA?si=ZklZBmpnaK6nMsT4

Hi Teegan! I agree with you about Luke knowing the older ghost Anakin, but I believe George Lucas wanted to change that because people would be watching the movies for the first time in number order, so by the time they got to ROTJ, they knew Anakin when he was young and good and that's why it's Hayden Christensen playing the ghost Anakin when Luke is able to turn him from the dark side. GL wanted to show ghost Anakin before he turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader. I don't think they added Ewan McGregor as ghost Obi Wan because he was always good, he didn't have to revert back to a time when he was good when he died. I actually prefer seeing them in release order for all the little easter eggs that we catch in the prequels leading up to episode 4 where we find Luke living with his aunt and uncle and Leia is a Princess. how did that happen, right? It's fun to see the backstory and going "Ahhh... thats how/why that happened. For people watching episodes 1-3 first, they don't get that. GL added all the other cities celebrating at the end because they could with the CGI that they didn't have in 1983. I was 13 when this movie came out and my brother and I were going to be travelling out of the country for the summer and had to get shots. I was so afraid of needles, so my mom bribed us and said she's take us to see this movie if I got my shots.

Ron White

One other change in this version is when Vader decides to save Luke in this one he says " no,NO" before tossing the Emperor over the rail. In the original version he says nothing but you can see the indecision and gears grinding just through his physical countenance even though he is fully masked. He just suddenly grabs the Emperor and heaves him into the pit. In my opinion this is much more striking. I feel like inserting the "nos" is dumbing it down for the audience for some reason.

Ron White

Liked your comments on shows and movies being re-edited with multiple versions and how you lose the original art by doing so. It just about always does a disservice to the fans and takes you out of the experience when you are suddenly jarred by something that your mind says just doesn't fit. This was actually somewhat of a running gag on The Big Bang Theory where our hero nerds more than once complained about George Lucas changing Star Wars yet again. The only two movies I've seen where this really helped were Kingdom of Heaven ( massive improvement ) and The Last of the Mohicans. Luckily you reacted to the improved versions of both. If you ever react to Conan the Barbarian or Stripes PLEASE stick with the original release versions.

Drewski

The sad Ewok scene always gets me 😢

Riggo 82

Hey, I can respect that. But, for me everything George Lucas made is better than everything Disney has made. And, I don't even like the prequels that much. I agree that Rogue One is the best Star Wars film by Disney, but in my opinion, that's a low bar. Also, I will never forgive Disney for destroying Star Wars. If other people enjoy watching the Disney Star Wars films, that's great. They just aren't for me.

Aaron

Great reaction as always. These movies are fantasy, but when you described your daughter recalling being curled up in a ball and and hearing YOUR laughter during your pregnancy it is very likely she does. There is research that supports why doctors reccomend expecting mothers begin talking to their unborn child as early as 24-28 weeks for bonding from the unborn baby's perspective through recognition of the mothers voice (including her laugh). Evidence of sensational memories as early as 22 wks have been observed as well as the neural pathways that process (and remember) touch and sound are developed enough by 24-25 wks, so the memory of her being curled up in a ball during pregnancy may be a combination of you teaching her about the growing of the fetus in the womb AND her sensational memories of being curled up in a ball in the womb. Either way, if your pregnancy stands out to her enough for her to feel compelled to mention it at 4 years old.... it sounds like she associates that time in her life with feeling very safe and loved by you as these were likely some of her FIRST memories EVER. That's a lucky kid😊

Eric Wallace

There is a reaction channel I watched that did it in Episode order and she broke down hard at the end of this one at that reveal. George is given a lot of shit, but he knows what hes doing

Eric Wallace

Release order for my sanity. Experience them the way we did

Eric Wallace

"It all stayed in place" it did not. The cast and crew saw everything, a lot. It took a lot of shots to get right

Grizzly

And yet it WAS…as proven by the fact of his transformation to a force spirit. No different than the salvation of the thief on the cross. All it takes is one act to be saved/converted.

Eric Wallace

I'd bet hard money the next time you watch this, after watching the prequels and Clone Wars, you'll realize its not about Luke in that moment. It's about Anakin

Eric Wallace

You wanna know why Boba Fett has hype? He look cool as fuck! Also he was introduced as a new character between the MOST INSANE HYPE OF ANY SEQUEL EVER and it's original.

Dustin Gerth

Just going to comment here, watching the "re-envisioned" or whatever you want to call it, version of these movies (Episodes,4,5,6) is very difficult for me. I did it so I could watch along, but otherwise I only ever watch the originals (I have the DVDs that have those versions). Glad you enjoyed them, super glad you played the original end/song for VI

Awsomeman07

Interesting cause I like the special edition versions better than the OG one's. (Granted my OG copy is VHS not DVD so maybe that makes a difference) but the special effects are better but hey that's just my opinion

Dustin Gerth

It's true, they definitely boosted the effects, and some things (lightsabers, etc) look a lot cleaner in the new ones. For me, it's more about the added things that seem unnecessary to me. Scene with Han and weird CGI Jabba in IV? Not for me. Also, replacing Anakin's force ghost with young Anakin? Why then wasn't it young Obi-Wan? Again, I totally see your point, just some things about the originals will always resonate with me.

ABlaze

I saw the Special Edition of Star Wars in theaters as a kid (it came out right about the time I was introduce to it). At the time, I loved it because it was more Star Wars and added scenes. Now, a lot of it grates me. Sure, there's some good special effects upgrades, but Han doesn't need to walk on a badly-CGI'd Jabba the Hutt's tail in the first movie. Star Wars didn't come out on DVD at all until around 2005, when the last of the prequel films was coming out, so the first DVD version made changes even beyond that, such as by making Greedo shoot at Han first in the cantina. If you want a balanced version that feels better to OG fans, try to find the fan-made Despecialized Edition, which cuts together the original film and some of the better special effects. And if you want the pre-Disney version of what happens between ESB and ROTJ, you can read Shadows of the Empire (or play the old school N64 game), which was meant to fill in the blanks

Darren Neaves

No it wasn't still darth vader, he was Anakin, which is why it was called return of the jedi. Everyone hates the change

Julian Ortiz

No there lots of people who prefer the change just like George Lucas the creator of star wars

Tim Heron

The short Imperial walkers, sometimes nicknamed "chicken walkers," are called AT-STs, which stands for "All-Terrain Scout Transport." There were actually two animated "Star Wars series, "Ewoks" and "Droids." There are also two spin-off films, "Caravan of Courage: The Ewok Adventure" and "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor," both of which weren't nearly as well-received as the main films.

Dustin Gerth

A good point, I wasn't even aware such versions existed. I've just always been stuck in my "only gonna watch the originals" mentality. Will look into them, thanks very much for the recommendation.

Darren Neaves

I have original trilogy DVDs with both original and remastered versions.

Unreal Star Wars

Fun Fact: That green dancing girl, Oola, did in fact have a nip-slip XD

michael bunter

Another change made in ROTJ was when Han Solo was going to shoot the tentacle off of Lando's leg and he said I thought you were blind Han answers him with the line "Trust me" then he shoots.... I don't know why they changed that .... Yes there is a story about between Empire strikes back and return of the Jedi it was called shadows of the empire it's a great book and there is a whole timeline for the Star wars universe in novels that is far better than anything that Disney has given us I have books in that timeline that is 33 years after Episode 4 and in my opinion would have been a better source material for movies.... Their is a channel on YouTube where someone has brought to life the story written by Timothy Zahn which started with the book Heir to the Empire which is really well done and worth a watch.... Great reaction to these movies and I am glad that you have finally done these reactions 😁 Hi from Queensland Australia 🦘

Ziro the Hutt

Yep its more 60/40 against liking it.

Ziro the Hutt

Bossk was always way cooler, and we see him for 3 seconds in the entire OT, lol!

Ziro the Hutt

I agree largely and I mourn for Yub Nub getting deleted at the end, but I do love seeing the Jedi Temple on Coruscant at the celebrations, showing that the Jedi did prevail in the end over the Sith.

Ziro the Hutt

He's got a lot of work to do then to make up for it, post-mortem. He is off to a good start however as we've recently seen, and there will be more. Still can't stand Anakin, he has a lot of making up to do before I like him - even though Vader is awesome.

Ziro the Hutt

Yeah, Lucas's most egregious tinkering happens in this film, and its a shame, as most of it, just wasn't needed. The only thing I accept now that is an improvement with the ending, is when we see the scenes on Coruscant, and you can see the Jedi Temple in the background, showing the Jedi did prevail in the end, over the Sith. I'm sure others have said it, but many believe the title Return of the Jedi, isn't a reference to Luke; but to Anakin coming back to the light, which is kind of nice, though doesn't make up for him being an idiot most of his life lol! On Luke and using the force. That's an excellent point you make Teegan, especially since Luke has the force potential of his father to become the strongest force user in the galaxy. However, George did tend to add one force thing each film gradually. For example in ANH, we see the mind trick, sound mimicking and sound diversion from Obi-Wan. In Empire, we see telekinesis and force jumping with Luke; here, we see force choke and force lightning. Phantom Menace there is briefly force speed, Attack of the Clones there is Beast Taming and in Revenge of the Sith there is force scream, planting of visions, and in all three prequels we have Sidious using the force to blanket his force presence from the Jedi. In each iteration since, we get more force stuff, and I don't mind that tbh, as they are meant to be space wizards, so the more bonkers stuff they do, the cooler it is imo; though they will limit it when the plot needs to, as is done here. I'm half and half on this film. I loved it as a kid, but the Jabba stuff goes on too long, the Ewok stuff is totally daft and again too long. However, they nail the ending - Haydn Christensen insert aside - and for that, it nicely wraps up the original trilogy.

Ziro the Hutt

Yep, its also why Luke is dressed in black, to make it seem like he could very well fall to the darkside. Once we see him drag a dying Vader back to the lamda shuttle, we see part of his tunic is uncovered, and its white, signifying he sticks with the light.

Ziro the Hutt

I mean people were saying George destroyed SW with the woeful prequels... Disney has done no worse than under the 35 years under Lucas. And in fact it has also made Star Wars that nearly equals the first two films here.
