Watching this when it came out in May 1983 I was absolutely on the edge of my seat horrified at Luke being slowly killed by the force lightning from the Emperor. People were gasping and yelling in despair and the moment Vader grabbed the Emperor and threw him into the core shaft man oh man it was as if the roof came off the theater, people were clapping and crying and shouting with absolute relief and joy. When a movie draws a reaction from the crowd like this scene did that memorable opening day in May 1983 you know it never ever get old!!👍

​@@geraldwilson681As someone who also watched all three of the Star Wars films in the cinema, you're absolutely right about the reactions of people in the theatre! We were all caught up and so emotionally invested in the events, and this climactic scene caused many loud groans and cries of "no!" when Luke was being attacked by Palpatine. Everyone thought he might be killed and then deafening cheers rang out when Vader grabbed the Emperor and hurled him into the shaft down to his death. It was absolutely a once in lifetime event and I'm so glad I was part of the generation to experience it!

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Sidious? I thought not. It’s a story the Jedi would not tell you. It’s Sith and meme legend. Darth Sidious was a dark lord of the Sith. So powerful and so wise. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, the only thing he was afraid of was getting thrown down a 65 story reactor shaft, which of course, eventually he did. He taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him. Ironic. He survived an attack from his lightning blast, but not a fall from a great height.

I’m sorry but as a 7 year old in 83 when I saw this for the first time in the theatre Vader not saying anything but simply picking up and throwing the emperor was Uber cool to watch. The “niiiioooooo” just spoiled the perfect scene. But I gotta say losing “nub nub” ewok song is the best decision Lucas ever made. Even as a 7 year old I found that pretty cringe worthy at the time and it didn’t get better with age either

[@stormthrush37]

If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will." It's interesting to think about what Obi Wan said about only Sith dealing in absolutes, because as Luke says "Never!" and attacks, he's dealing in an absolute and tapping into anger and aggression. Which is almost guaranteed what the Emperor and Darth Vader were trying to accomplish, bait Luke into acting from there. Thankfully, Luke realized what was going on and stopped when he saw what was going on.

[@tooru-kun4178]

I'm pretty sure what obi wan said was to show again how Jedi view was flawed too. Saying that only sith deal in absolute is literally saying something absolute making a big contradiction

[@stormthrush37]

@@tooru-kun4178 Agreed 100%. Either way though there were little things intentionally done in the prequels that tie into the originals and this may be one of them. Personally I took Obi Wan's prequel absolutes line slightly differently, very similar but slightly different - that the Jedi were operating from more of a dark sided place than they realized, that they had been corrupted by it themselves and didn't really even see it, which I think kind of ties into the whole Mace/Yoda exchange about how their ability to use the force was diminished. There was at least some small awareness at the top something was wrong with the Jedi, even if they ultimately didn't do or say anything about it. Speaking of a Jedi doing something dark sided, how about the end of the Mustafar duel? Leaving a crippled and helpless man alone to burn in agony and likely die? Not light sided by any definition I can think of!! Pretty dark sided in fact!

Luke won by refusing to kill Vader, getting his anger back under control and not allowing Palpatine the satisfaction of corrupting him to the dark side and controlling him like his dad Anakin. That act of defiance from Luke, annoyed Palpatine because he failed to manipulate and corrupt a Jedi to the dark side for the first time ever, He then proceeded to kill Luke with his force, displaying that sadistic face, later turning to anger, rage and hatred. Palpatine thought he had broken Vader to the extent that he won't fight back, boy was he wrong Anakin had finally broken free from the dark side and Palpatine's control over him, picked him up and threw him down the reactor shaft to his death. He was not going to idly stand by and let Palpatine take away what he had left of Padme, his son Luke and kill him. Luke was right, Palpatine was cocky and it became his demise in the end.

[@wdhubb]

One of the greatest lessons I learned in life was from this scene. A father is supposed to be there for his children, no matter what. Especially in times of trouble. My dad taught me this as I watched a conversation between my parents and my father explained to my mother why Darth Vader sacrificed himself to save his son. Later, when I became a dad myself, I was still there for my children (even now as young adults) as my dad was for my brothers and me so many years prior.

damn that made me almost cry vader realizing the torture of luke and how he is special to him, just like padme. He didn't want to make the same mistake losing his son. Sure, he was fighting Luke but he was ordered to by the emperor. Emperor caused so much hate to vader from being turned to the dark side, losing every single friend he possibly imagined, and his wife. Luke was the only person that Vader had so by not killing him, Vader would be free and not have chaos again. Killing the emperor made him free and prevent further mental damage. Sure, he died from killing him but it was a moment of relief and freedom.

I still don't think Vader's "No!" was a necessary addition. (Yep, it was added for the blue ray release. Before that Vader remained silent, he just acted)

[@80sLover329]

I’ll take it one step further - I think Vader’s “No!” was not only unnecessary in the 21st century version of ROTJ… it was very un-Vader like and almost made him cartoonish. Vader was at his best maintaining relatively monotone, emotionless vocalizations. The Vader “No!” - which didn’t exist in the original ROTJ version I saw in theaters in 1983 - just takes away from the Vader mystique IMHO.

​@@I_dcd Dont get me wrong, I enjoy the vast majority of the SE changes. I grew up on the 04 versions. Im just not a fan of the "No!" Not for the same reason the boomers do though. They hate it because it reminds them of the revenge of the sith scene, which I enjoyed. With that said, I think the silence really works for this scene. I understand why Lucas added it in. He wanted to bring the emotion back in for Vader. I just think it works better as Vader not even knowing how to show emotion anymore. He's known silent compliance for so long that he forgets where he comes from, even at his last heroic act. Its cool if people like the change though.

Anakin's eyes. The Emperor's plan to turn the Chosen One to the dark sideTM was to make him believe he's not loved and make his fear of losing everything cloud his judgement; add that Darth had been spending a lotta time with his son, this was pretty much him acting like a Jawa poking a Krayt Dragon with a lightsaber.
