Finally! The best Star Wars movie.

erin🦅

Easily the best one!

Branc69

W drop, eating KFC with this one

Ricky

I've been waiting for this to drop, just to say this: General Veers (the ATAT walker General who destroys the shield generator) is the one and only Sneaky Snake Pycelle

Sheri

5 > 4 > 3 > 6 > 8 > 7 > 9 > 1 > 2 The BEST of the 9!

James Waters

Top three movies of all time according to me- Lord of the Rings extended edition (I consider them all one continuous movie sue me), The Dark Knight, Empire Strikes Back. This movie is an all timer, and set the standard for how to make a sequel better than the original.

Torben

Heck yea!!!

Hank Scorpio

You have the sequels ahead of Episodes 1 and 2? Interesting....

Jo

I just wanted to see your faces when Luke and Leia kissed and I was not let down

Louis

Some trivia for pudgey: One of the imperial commanders in the battle of the ice world Hoth, was a young Sneaky Snake Grand Measter Pycell from Game of Thrones

erin🦅

Mark Hamill (Luke) was in a bad car accident between the first movie and this one. Hence, Luke getting attacked and getting his face scarred at the beginning of this one.

Cody Beaudin

Theres a Hierarchy because Sidious hates Vader. Its basically a slap in the face to someone who failed against Obi Wan. If he was Anakin still, he would not treat him so harshly, but still harshly. He gets mad at Vader constantly in the comics and sends assassins after him because hes simply done with him. Also, because of his failure, Palpatine gave instructions to make Vaders suit EXTREMELY uncomfortable so Vader stays mad all the time. He gets no relief except for his Bacta Tank from Rogue One.

Synthetic_CK

Fun fact: Sneaky Snake Pycell was in that first imperial walker.

Dirk Diggler

Couple things to clarify... in A New Hope, you questioned why Obi Wan didn't remember r2. it's because the prequels had not been written and Lucas had no idea he was going to include r2 and c3p0 in them at the time. Similarly, in this one, when Luke and Leia kiss, it was because Lucas had not yet decided to make them siblings. Luke was supposed to have a sister, a new character... that is who Yoda was referring to as another. He decided after this movie to make them siblings just to tighten shit up I guess.

David Cansler

Luke and Leia giving off some Jon and Dany vibes 😂😂. The big "I am your father" reveal when this movie came out was huge. And Pudgey I think I heard u say Jengo Fett but the bounty hunter here is his son Boba Fett.

Pablo

Man they really fucked up Yoda on the prequels. I forgot he was the fucking goat. The guy is like the best part of this fucking movie, pure wisdom. And they have him doing backflips and shit just for the sake of it on the prequels god damn

Archie

I was dreading the kiss lol. I thought you might think game of thrones in space! Great reaction really enjoyed it.

Farbod

Yeah. I wasnt a fan of him fighting like a coked up gerbil.

Farbod

The wait for ROTJ is gonna be painful... Loved this reaction.

Cody Beaudin

Sorry, another tidbit, Degobah is heavily basically imbued with the force. The presence is so strong, that no one can sense Yodas force abilities. He couldn't be able to go to another planet because they'd eventually be able to sense him out. Obi went to Tatooine because he knows Vader wouldn't go there because of his past and the pain it brings.

Archie

Lucas surely should have thought about the plot holes you have mentioned before he made other movies in this franchise. Not doing so is negligence.

Pablo

Not a bad lineup at all.

Giuseppe DeGaetano

Obi-wan literally calls R2 "his little friend" multiple times, he also specifically states "I don't remember owning a droid" R2 never belonged to him it was Padme's droid she gave to Ani. There is a specific difference between "I don't own this droid" and "I've never meet this droid in my life."

Archie

Im ashamed to say I’ve done that and lost. Done the bad stuff thought I was a tough guy and received a beat down. Spent 10 or so hours in a cell.

Louis PG

the actor playing the emperor in the originals he was in his 30s and in the prequels he was in his 50s and his character was in the prequels was in his 60s and by the originals he is 84-88

Justin Stewart

I had the complete opposite reaction, I was hyped to see Yoda fight like that. Just purely using the force to maneuver his body. I don’t know how people don’t like it but🤷🏻 to each their own

Joel Zaborowski

The scene you saw in this movie where Vader speaks to the hologram of the Emperor is a re-shot scene produced for one of the later special edition versions of this movie. In the original version, a completely different actor played the Emperor for that scene. It was re-shot in 2004 to make it fit more with the Prequels. However, in Episode 6 which you'll watch next, the Emperor is played by the same actor as in the Prequels

Wes

Yoda is the 🐐

Joel Zaborowski

The guy in the armor was indeed Boba Fett. The son of Jango Fett from the prequels. Or rather, his clone...the unaltered clone boy he took for himself and raised as his son. Thats his father's armor, re-painted with his own style.

Terje Mickelson

Highlight of my fortnight! Can't wait for the next one!

Light Movies

In the original 1980 film, the Emperor was portrayed using a combination of an actress’s face and chimpanzee eyes to create the hologram effect. Then, for the 1983 film Return of the Jedi, they cast a young Ian McDiarmid, who later reprised the role of Palpatine in the prequel trilogy nearly 20 years later. These are the remastered versions, in which George Lucas replaced the original actress/monkey composite with the Episode III version of Palpatine to create better continuity, especially for viewers like you who watch the films in chronological order.

Farbod

I just thought it looked stupid. Also CGI slop.

WanderingBecauseLostLol

Yea I would have the sequels about 10 miles off in the distance after the first 6, personally

Michael

Really enjoying watching this with your reactions! Keep it up!

Jono Taylor

The best thing about watching the prequels before originals, is that regardless of others may think the greatest experience that comes from this order is the reality that people do not consider Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader to be anyways the same person. Darth Vader himself is so disconnected from Anakin Skywalker as not just an identity of himself , but as a person that is alive and walking. The idea of Anakin Skywalker being dead is not just a matter of perspective of Obi Wan possibly lying about Luke's Father in anyway , but in reality is consider truth for all those who know the origins within the Imperial System including Darth Vader himself. Whatever you may think or say about how to watch this series and how best to do it, one thing is undeniable and that is that the Vader reveal hits very differently. The overall fact people acknowledgement that Vader and Anakin are two different people regardless of any prior knowledge is accepted by Vader himself. Its actually kind of interesting when you think and accept that the notion of Anakin and Vader being two people in which one was born at the same time the other died. Those introduced to Vader have only associated him in this form and the connection he has to the Emperor. Everything else is unknown if at all relevant to man who'd probably kill you if you accidentally forgot to turn off the lights, let alone try something as invasive as to look into him further than the figure that is.

Shawn Gordian

So after the OG trilogy theyre going to watch Space Balls and Blue Harvest right?

Veilsix

My take on the Vader/Luke scene from an 80's kid: obviously until that moment we didn't put it together but at that moment you realize that not only is Vader Luke's dad but that he is also the legendary Jedi we'd been hearing all about.... that realization all in one moment, the camera switching back and forth... Luke cringing and scrambling away from Vader and the truth, with Vader leaning forward in earnest reaching out for his son PLEADING with him to join him and help him overcome the man who's been controlling him and corrupting him... as a kid I was MESMERIZED edge of my seat and then Luke just lets go and chooses death than to make the same choice his father did. Man what a scene what absolute beautiful drama and intensity. Another thing to keep in mind about Anakin's unique force powers is that he sees things before they happen. It's his curse and blessing at the same time. You notice in his fights as he has matured he doesn't need to go all crazy, of course part of the reason is special effects limitations, but Vader's use of the force just helps him know where he/his lightsaber needs to be in order to achieve his outcomes. Also Yoda was mostly testing Luke- to see his nature, patience, etc remember he has many similar reservations about young Anakin who was much younger and Yoda thought even he was too old. Love the reaction as always! Long live the Spartan! Down with the Pudgester!

Justin Stewart

So the whole thing with Obi-Wan being a “force ghost” and all that, is the training that Qui-Gon showed him through the force (off screen of course). Taught him that at death to let his consciousness go and become one with the Force and retain his form, essentially becoming immortal.

Jonathanese

The moment I've been anticipating this whole time! And yeah, if you watch in release order, that hits like a sack of potatoes to the stomach. But I knew that when you heard it in context, it would have its own gravitas behind it, even if it's different from the one we got. Plus, I could kinda tell Spartan had already heard the famous line before. Wasn't sure about Pudgey. So the OG reveal was at least not going to hit Spartan quite the same. To me, that gut punch was instead replaced with Ep 3. "Henceforth, you shall be know as Darth........Vader". If you already know of Darth Vader, and you already know "I am your father", then I think the big reveal of Anakin being Vader was probably a more similar gut punch. For reactors who watch in Machete Order (4,5,1,2,3,6), The big punch happens here, and then ANOTHER punch when Padme gives birth to twins and names one of them "Leia". Also, that was one of THE original controlled spoilers in Hollywood. So much so, that they didn't even want the actors to know about the big reveal. Only a select few knew. In the scene, the screen actor for Darth Vader actually says "No, Obi-Wan killed your father" as per the altered script he was given. (Pray he does not alter it further) They figured that reveal would still fit with the rest of the story enough that the actors could feel the impact. And then it wasn't until post, when they over-dub James Earl Jones's voice, that he says "I am your father." Also, they did several takes of "I love you" and "I love you, too." and it didn't hit right. So in one of the takes Harrison Ford took a different route and just said "I know". And it was pretty much the perfect Han Solo response. Plus it nicely caps off the arc they had this whole episode.

Jonathanese

Yep. And I get that it would be a ret-con, but they are good about fitting retcons in between lines. Or you know, making one of the best movies in the franchise just to explain an oddly convenient plot hole in EP4.

Jonathanese

Yeah, and "uncomfortable" is an understatement, here. It was basically ripping parts of his skin off his body. IIRC, he had an option to have a more comfortable suit later, but he wanted the agony. I haven't read it myself, but it seemed like it was in part for the pain and anger making him stronger with the dark side, and to punish himself for his role in Padme's death. (Even though that was mostly Sideous)

Manu

I consider the last sentence of your comment to be a spoiler… Let them find out themselves, what and who is in Episode VI.

Jonathanese

If I had to do mine, mayyyybe: 5 > 6 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 2 ...................................... > 7 > 8 > 9

Manu

I consider the second sentence of your comment to be a spoiler… Let them find out themselves, what and who is in Return of the Jedi.

Paul Durbin

And the main antagonist in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Dirk Diggler

yeah, so? it doesn't change what I said. are you under the impression the prequels were already written in 1977? (to Guiseppe)

Spaz 'n' Megz

Im still gonna say its not to late to watch the Obiwan series!. Anyone that tells you not to is wrong! I experienced 4,5,6 when they came out let alone 1,2,3 and the Obiwan series was such a thrill to see with those actors! and to see what went on between the 2 trilogies was so good! It answers all the questions. I also want to add that Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) was every boys dream! God bless her soul!

James Waters

The ironic thing is that it actually kinda hurts continuity a bit because Vader already refers to Luke as Skywalker during Hoth, so the Emperor then revealing to him and him being surprised that the boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker is a little bit weird. I dunno why he wrote that scene like that, even though it's good.

Richiep

This is a proper grumpy old man take lol. Yoda was a badass in the prequels

Richiep

I mean how else would he fight, he's 2 foot off the ground lol

Pablo

Of course the problem is not the physical how, that's still a problem but whatever the bigger issue here is what he stands for. In here he's all like patience, be in the moment, use your powers for defense, never attack, in the prequels he does say patience here and there but it feels like a character checkmark because the guy acts nothing like that, his actions in the prequels do not reflect anything of what he stands for in Empire.

Giuseppe DeGaetano

Where did you get that impression? Sounds like you make up assumptions in your head. You have zero idea what a recon or a plot hole is.

Benjamin Nadeau

What are these episodes 7-9? There are only 6 Star Wars movies.

Dirk Diggler

I didn't say anything at all about recon or plot holes. you are getting different posts jumbled up in your little brain. I stated that things like Luke and Leia being siblings had not yet ben decided upon. And you thinking Lucas knew Obi Wan and R2 would be buddies sure sounds like you thought he had the prequels all written out. Far from assumption.

Light Movies

@Manu This is why I hate the Star Wars community so much. They don't have any perception of the reality when they must judge something related. No, it’s not a spoiler at all, because I was explaining a production and continuity detail, not revealing a narrative twist. Saying that Palpatine also appears in the sixth film after the character has already appeared in the fifth is basically implicit in the structure of the trilogy itself. It’s like saying, “the actor playing the villain in the second-to-last movie also returns in the finale.” I'm not revealing what he does, how it ends, or what his exact role will be. I will never understand why some people stretch the concept of “spoiler” to include literally any future information, even things that are structurally obvious or inevitable. By that logic, it would also be a spoiler to say that Darth Vader appears in Episode VI after already being in Episode V. I wasn’t spoiling a plot twist, I was only clarifying a technical and historical detail about the saga.

Eddie Boncek

Funny fact about the, (Leia) "I love you." (Han) "I know." Was that the scene was originally written for Han to say it back, "I love you too." But Harrison Ford felt that Han Solo would never say "I love you" back and ad-libbed it with "I know." George Lucas wasn't originally sold on the idea, but during the first screening, Harrison Ford sat next to George in the theater and the crowd loved it, so he kept it that way for the wider, true release.

Dreamknight942

The segment and discussion between Yoda and Luke about trying failing, the force etc is one of my favourite scenes in the franchise

mFFb

There really is no sexual closeness between Luke and Leia. She was always for Han, and Luke has more important business. The kiss was a funny way to annoy Han, but, yeah, I might not be against deleting it lol.

Light Movies

I understand your concerning, but it was a surname. We can't know wether "Skywalker" was a common surname, like "Mr. Brown" or not, in that universe.

Hank Scorpio

5>4>3>6>1>7>2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>8/9 (8/9 are both so bad I refuse to put one ahead of the other)

spartanandpudgey

we will consider it! but SW series will begin AFTER all movies are completed

Michael Weiner

Chronological isn’t better it’s just different. Both have their pluses and minuses.

Unam Bakumeni

Not only the best Star Wars movie but one of the all time best movies ever!

Branflakes

One of the best MOVIES of all time, not just Star Wars movies.

Lynda Olson

Maester pycell plays the imperial officer who shoots the energy shield from the imperial walker 😜😜😜

Mackenzie mitchell

Chronological is better, it’s the way the films are meant to be watched and were made to be watched by George Lucas . Release order is obsolete now..

Jorge Alberto Dominguez Reyes

Hey guys, I can't watch your reactions after I payed for the "Demi God" level. It shows an error window instead of the video, and this only happens with you.

Manu

Spartan even said in the discussion: "[...] I wonder if we'll get to see him (Palpatine) in the flesh in the last movie [...]". When they read your comment, they will know that they will get to see Palpatine at least in some way in the last movie. Yes, you did not give any details and it definitely isn't a big spoiler, but you've given them information about the content of a movie they'll be watching in the future and I don't think it's absolutely inevitable that Palpatine will appear in the next one and that's exactly why Spartan asks himself this question.

Tommy Rokka

Yeah that's right! The bounty hunter is the son clone Boba Fett.

Garrett Serbin

Bravo again!! Rewatched it. One of you're best!!

Arwen24

The order you’re doing is perfect for y’all and providing for excellent reactions! I’ve been watching y’all on YouTube for years but your Star Wars reactions brought me to Patreon. Can’t wait until the next one!

tonyc

He said Episode III which is Revenge of the Sith, which they've already seen. They are not watching them in release order.

Yoshio

I was anxious about this reaction being chronological and wasn't sure I could watch it, but I'm happy to say I'm caught up and enjoyed each reaction. Both this and the release order have their own merits. I can see from your reaction that Lucas did a good job making the prequels work for an audience that started with those instead. Spartan already knew the big line so that mattered less, but I saw these when they came out and that was one of the biggest surprises in cinema history. Can't wait for Ep 6 and Solo.

Jlkvc

Far out that's probably the best description I've hear on why it's arguably better to watch the prequels first. For years I've heard hate on the prequels and starting with them but I agree that it makes a lot of obi-wan's and yoda's dialogues mean so much more. I understand there are benefits to watching in release order but it's refreshing to hear your guys perspective. I think the prequels were perfect in bridging the gap. Loved all your Star Wars reactions guys :) would love to see clone wars in the future

Brandlud

I like to think that the way Leia felt Luke was her bother is because the kiss felt like kissing her brother.

Conner Coates

One of the most important things to note in this movie: Vader did NOT kill the admiral who failed at the very end....

Paul Jorritsma

Yeah, at first when I saw that you were doing chronological order I was disappointed but intrigued. I thought that it would ruin some of the best surprises. But it's been eye opening watching you watch it this way. You might not get the exact same reactions to certain things that you would in release order, but there are other things that you do get by watching it the way that you are. It's a different experience but still amazing. You've changed my mind. I believe that both ways have value.
