FIRST TIME WATCHING *STAR WARS RETURN OF THE JEDI*

[@iwkmsNOW]

interesting fact, when luke is talking to vader after removing his mask, you can hear the blasters in the back, but the thing is, there were no rebeliants on the death star, so the blasters being fired is the sound of stormtroopers killing one another for the place on the spaceships to escape the deathstar that was about to be destroyed

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

That's dark af

[@Mitthradata]

That's also why no one cares about a dying vader

Where did you get that info? It seems more like an editing slip up then a conscious decision.

😂😂😂

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

I saw this as a very young kid in the theater in 1983; I was eight years old. There were grown ass men freaking out in the aisles when Luke was getting fried by Palpatine SHOUTING AT THE SCREEN for Vader to help, literally yelling HE'S YOUR SON! HELP HIM! Back then there were no special editions yet and Vader didn't scream no, he just looked between the Emperor and Luke, picked that old asshole up, and hurled his ass into the Death Star. The entire room ROARED in victory, I didn't see an audience react like that until Avengers: Endgame decades later.

[@derekknowles5805]

Hated when he said no I only have the 2004 DVD versions

[@sammiebray1661]

Vaders suit was more then just a fashion statement. The suit was packed full of life support tech (the breathing sound was literally him breathing with the assistance of a respirator). It was also designed by the Emperor to hinder Anakins movements and keep him in constant pain so the he couldn't easily rise up against the Emperor. Part of being a Sith is constantly trying to take as much power as possible, so Sith were known to turn on their masters or apprentices fairly commonly as power plays.

[@cassieo]

Yeah, Vader’s suit was a superconductor for Force Lightning. Anakin was doomed from the moment he turned on the Emperor, and he still made the sacrifice play to save his son (and ultimately bring balance to the Force).

[@thor1829]

Hell, it was required for a Sith to turn on their master to continue the rule of two. Palpatine broke this line because he was arrogant and saw himself as the epitome of the Sith.

Characters like R2 not talking is part of the charm. You're supposed to interpret the script yourself using clues that C3PO gives to the audience. It's brilliant writing in my opinion

[@calebjp8904]

Yeah, it’s just like Groot in the guardians movies. Part of the fun is figuring out what they’re saying

[@Mr.Ekshin]

- Watching this was like a bad flashback to watching movies with my ex girlfriend... "Who is that guy? Why is that one speaking another language? Wait, where are they now? I don't understand... what's going on? Why is that one shooting at them? Who is this new guy?" It's like... just stop talking over the film for five seconds, and you'll figure it out. And frankly... that is precisely why she's my EX girlfriend.

[@cheeseburger12]

It isn't that he isn't talking....it's that Lucas has to keep censoring him because he swears all the time.

[@YezaOutcast]

some facts about the 2nd deathstar: it was almost twice as big as the first one and apart from not having the obvious designflaw anymore, it had another big advantage. the first DS's main mega-laser planet killer weapon had to recharge 24 hours for another blast. the 2nd just needs a few minutes between blasts.

[@painpega]

that's something funny I see people get wrong about it, it has no lethal flaw just like you said. I've seen people argue "how can it be better if the flaw is now big enough to fit a whole ship in it" and they literally forget the fact that it is under construction and still half open lol if it was finished it wouldn't have an achilles heel like the last one did idfk why i added this since everything you said was right but it sparked this thought lol

[@Kits-Seven]

Imagine the tax increase

[@Alexthedragon18]

I thought the quicker blasts were from it using far less power since it was only going for the Mon Cal cruisers and not planets like in New Hope/Rogue One

[@painpega]

@@Alexthedragon18 That was probably some of it, but the Death Star did shoot significantly faster just in general - it probably wouldn't have taken more than 20 minutes for a full power blast to recharge

[@Alexthedragon18]

@@painpegaYeah fair enough, doubt they'd biuld it again just bigger for no reason

[@MikeSiegert]

Luke’s plan is to send the droids in as a “gift” to get his lightsaber inside (or else it would have been taken from him), send Leia to release Han from the carbon freeze, get captured himself (the Rancor was not planned but he handled it), then escape all together with Lando’s help. Kinda a mess but it all worked out as planned.

[@dillonlexington]

It was a great plan at the very least!

[@hktimmy6537]

Like father like son indeed, jump in and deal with the consequences later

[@YezaOutcast]

the star wars universe has thousands of languages. the main language is called basic and is the one you saw on the computer screen in the beginning of the movie and most humanoids speak. hutteese is a common language in the outer rim territories and is the native language of the hutts, the species of jabba, the crime boss on tattooine. the language for example R2D2 beeps is called binary and is understood by most computersystems and other droids.

[@afropunkx]

You do get R2D2s personality without understanding him, in fact you could argue that his personality is portrayed so well that you can actually understand him ,Especially when he is being sassy which is like 80% of the time haha. This paired with C3PO translating parts for us is perfect. The 'selling drinks' part for example.

[@bitscrawford]

"princess leia's his sister? weren't they kissing and stuff?" had me on the FLOOR lmao

[@thesupersonicstig]

Jabba isn’t CGI in ROTJ. He's a massive puppet with four guys inside operating it.

[@Randomvidz2024h]

Fun fact on the video at exactly 41:22, the old rebel soldier in front of all of them is captain Rex from the clone wars

[@kevinbell5674]

Nothing involving Jabba was CGI. He was one giant pratical effect. It required the use of both animatronics and actual puppeteers to make Jabba work.

[@remar-6]

Obi was just trying to protect Luke. Didn’t want him to know his dad was the youngling slayer let alone that was the first light saber he was handed 😂

[@drigerdranzer7514]

27:48 Leias kiss on Hoth was just to shut down Han and make him jealous. All others were just pecks.

[@BinkyTheToaster]

21:06 - Fun fact about Leia's outfit, she wasn't wearing anything under it. Lucas convinced her to do this because, and I quote, "there's no underwear in space."

[@albro666]

Ur telling me palpating is freeballing under his cloak?

[@williamjones6031]

1. Best guess is that Han was Jabba's "trophy" for about a year and a half before the rescue. 2. Vader discovered Leia as Luke's sister because he could feel it through Luke. Luke didn't know that until just before then. 3. Luke's light saber is green because he lost his old one along with his hand so they decided to make it green because it worked better in the desert background landscape. 4. Everybody is freaking out because Luke and Leia kissed mostly because she was trying to piss off Han. They didn't know they are related. 5. The "I love you. I know" was written into the script to get Leia the shot to say it to Han. 6. This was Warrick Davis'/Lead Ewok first acting gig. He was only 13. Willow is his lead with Val Kilmer and worth a first time/share.😎 7. Awesome camera work with the race through the forest. Nobody in their right mind would go that fast. 8. A little corn. Hans' reaction to Leia telling him Luke is her brother. 9. Jedi is plural. With Luke and Leia leading the way they can reestablish the Jedi back into the galaxy. 10. Ford wanted Han to die in this episode. 11. This is the best of the original 6 George Lucas Star Wars. After this he sold it to Disney, and everything changed. Sadly

[@visionaryventures12]

In the original release and until this special edition, Anakin Skywalker’s ghost at the end looked like a healthy version of the old man in Darth’s suit. He grins directly at Luke proudly and tilts his head towards his friend, Obi Wan. Look for it on KZbin.

[@SkyBlueFox1]

While ESB is the most popular movie of the original trio, I have a really big soft-spot for Luke and Vader's conversation on Endor (38:22). In Ep4, Vader spent his time being intimidating or commanding; in Ep5, he was a constant, looming presence and got a very extensive fight sequence. But here, seeing the two of them just talk makes for a very thoughtful moment. It's quiet, a little introspective, and I honestly consider it one of the best parts of ROTJ. Like, granted, it's not super-duper deep or anything, and now that we're 40 years removed from the original release of the film, it's not like it's groundbreaking or anything. But it's still really good and effective stuff!

[@sjbbruins]

Even just the way he walks after sending Luke, and then stands staring off into the distance.

[@drigerdranzer7514]

4:40 Ben didn't tell Luke because he was not ready, neither for the challenge or for the mental burden.

[@Splinterfist7]

About Leia and Luke kisses, she mentioned somehow she knows. That's means she felt something for him but she cannot explain, a kind of attraction like a connection, an affective love but she doesn't really know they are brothers. This attraction is less of what she felt for Solo. When he told her, she cleared his mind about what was her feelings with Luke. But about the kisses, I belived becase Carrie Fisher was that way. I miss her so much u.u

The rancor handler was crying because the rancor was basically the dude's pet. People can pair-bond with anything, and have a talent for making friends with other animals. It's like having your dog die while you watch helplessly.

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

I know that feeling. It's heartbreaking, especially when you feel their last breath come out.

[@BinkyTheToaster]

@@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay Yes. I had to watch my dad as he had a vet euthanize his aging German Shepard; she was in constant significant pain and suffering from an untreatable cancer. She was 17 years old, and it was time. She was a good dog, but although she wasn't mine, and I didn't really know her, I still felt the anguish in him as he had to let her go. She was the most bestest.

[@ivaneames4354]

There was a book of short side stories published a while ago that revealed that the Rancor wasn't a monster, it had just been badly mistreated by Jabba's people. In fact the Rancor's keeper was just about to smuggle it and himself away from the palace and off to a safe new life. He really cared for it which was why he cried at its death. The sad thing is the escape was due to happen the very next day. Luke killed it the day before it could be free and happy.

Jabba was a practical puppet with three puppeteers inside. No CGI on Leia. She had to be kinda still because she kept "popping" out of the metal bikini. lol.

[@gruneflamme2013]

Jabba is the Gang boss because of his money and control over the "official" leaders in the Hutt controlled area space. He can order their deaths at any time. He is freakishly rich because he has gained control of all the spice mines in Hutt space after all the other gang bosses were killed. For most Hutts, the fatter you are, the higher your status is, and he moves around on his big slab bed because it hovers around. There have been Hutt Jedi and Sith though, and they were actually really fit and physically powerful warriors.

Obi-Wan probably didn't want Luke to know until he completed his Jedi training. Learning something like that might push you towards the dark side.

Anny redeemed himself and finally became a force ghost. :3

[@The_Texorcist]

What so many reaction vids fail to see is when Luke attacks Vader it’s not a triumphant scene, it’s a tragic one. As Yoda told Luke anger, fear and aggression are all paths to the dark side. When Vader finds out about Leia it filled Luke with fear. When Vader said that if Luke won’t turn to the dark side perhaps Leia would Luke lashed out at him with aggression/anger because of that fear. You can hear it in the music, by striking as he was and his wild lightsaber swings he was falling to the dark side. Once Vader fell and Luke kept swinging in a full rage he had given into the dark side. That’s why the emperor was happy seeing it. Luke only was able to take a step back from the dark side by seeing how he had become so much like his father.

[@spencernaugle]

Obi-Wan Never intended for Luke to interact with Darth Vader until he was fully trained as a Jedi by Yoda so that he wouldn't be tempted by his father to turn to the dark side. Not telling him Darth Vader was his father was a tactic to keep Luke away from Vader.

[@philippeamon7271]

3:33 It's a font/"language" called Aurabesh. Since Galactic basic in the Star Wars movies is just English, you could read it as a simple substitution cipher. 23:30 Luke is a bit of a special case, so he gets a discount on the technicalities... Some special reason, why he becomes Jedi, just by facing Vader. Hyperspace works like interstates, where it's somehow possible to go several times the speed of light. And Master drives like on the Falcon can go anywhere independently. After the Battle of Endor, the New Republic started taking over, but they were inexperienced in running a galaxy and always two steps behind putting out the fires, and managing the recession. Four decades later, they had become a cardboard government.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

The Aurabesh text seen in this film, is actually a repeating phrase with gaps in it, so would not become a full convertible alphabet until the first prequel film. Hyperspace can allow speeds of ten, even over one hundred million times, the speed of light. Allowing the galaxy to be crossed in days (or... sigh... faster, in the newer films) There are spacelanes where speeds can be maintained at a high level, versus 'cross-country' routes, that are less fast or precise.

[@oneironaut420]

You may or may not remember that in the first film, Leia was a senator representing her home planet of Alderaan in the Imperial Senate, as her father did before her. The Imperial Senate was a remnant of a legitimate senate that existed before the emperor took over. He kept the senate in place to give the illusion of democracy, even though he was really a dictator. Later in Ep.4 during the meeting on the Death Star, it was mentioned that the emperor had finally done away with the senate altogether, and gave control of planets and solar systems to special Imperial warlords called Moffs, who could rule as they pleased, answering only to the emperor himself. So it's implied that there will be a new senate and democracy.

Funny enough, the Emperor was very much a quantity over quality kind of guy.

little context for why vader is so whipped early on by the emporer: he has f'd up vaders life in so many ways and tormented and tortured him both physically and emotionally so thats why he says "it is pointless to resist my son" vader has tried to rise up against the emporer multiple times and every time he gets bitched hard the emporer is actually so powerful he just never expected vader to turn against him here

[@IDieHardForever]

Thing with the Dark Side really is like you completely lose your mind. But if one can hold it together, it's possible to weild both sides but it always messes things up. That stuff is explored later. Vader's redemption is the only time a full blown Sith Lord returned to the light, so it somewhat opened up this possibility of keeping your head while also being full dark side... I think of it like being hypnotized... Or like dark side mind trick that's all-encompassing and is done to the self ... or often egged on by a powerful minded Sith Lord like The Emperor.... Its not that the Emperor lost his tact, he's just doing a full blown mind -trick.

[@jdub910]

You gotta remember, when Obi Wan Kenobi told Luke in the first Star Wars movie that Darth Vader killed Luke's father -- that was the intended truth. It was only with the second movie that the writer of the movie thought to go with the plot twist of Vader being Luke's father.... so they had to ret-con the discrepancy. Hence, Obi Wan's "What I told you was true from a certain point of view."_

[@heathersantell1228]

Vader didn't know at first that Luke was his son. The Emperor is the one that told Vader that he sensed that Luke was the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.

[@oneironaut420]

Keep in mind that the prequels take place before the Empire, so there is no emperor and no rebel alliance. Instead, the ruling government is the Republic, which is a representative government with a galactic senate made up of senators from all the member planets (though not every planet in the galaxy is part of the Republic, especially the farthest outlying star systems). The leader of the senate is the Supreme Chancellor, kind of like the elected president or prime minister of the galaxy. There is no military because there's been peace for 1,000 years, thanks to the Jedi Knights who serve the Republic, but exist apart from it with its own rules and traditions. Centuries before, they defeated their ancient enemies, the Dark Lords of the Sith, who used the dark side of the Force to try to conquer the galaxy. It's believed that the Jedi wiped out the Sith, who used the title Darth. (In the comics and trading cards that came out in the 70s and 80s, Darth Vader is described as a Sith lord.) By the time of Ep.1, the senate has become corrupt and ineffective. Wealthy and powerful corporations are so influential that they even have their own members of congress, who manipulate the laws to their advantage while the voices of the people go ignored. One of these corporations is the greedy Trade Federation, which controls most of the trade routes through the galaxy. They are the apparent new villains, but they are secretly in cahoots with a familiar-looking hooded figure who not even the Jedi are aware of, and who is pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
