First Time Watching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back | Group Reaction

Yes, there are flashback scenes. It’s called the prequel trilogy movies

[@sam_c95]

1:19:46 "Now I wanna know even more of what actually happened. I hope there's a flashback type thing." Yeah that would be cool. If only there was a trilogy of prequel movies...

[@rxlxviii]

The reason why the sound quality is good is because all the sound today is based on the technology created by Lucas for these Star War movies. Companies created by Lucas are THX, ILM, and Pixar among others. All of them play a part in the movies you see today.

[@deepnthought.]

Thank you

[@verush27]

Yeah, the original was in Dolby Stereo and for the remasters they only remixed it for THX and Dolby Surround with almost no alterations, except the altered scene with the emperor I guess...

[@novocode]

@@verush27 Lucas made a LOT of alterations to the original movies over the years. There are 3 youtube videos that actually show the alterations made from original release to the blue rays, to today. If you can't find them, I can get you the link to episode 4, you can find 5 & 6 on the same channel.

The score of the Star Wars films were created by John Williams, who is an absolute LEGEND. He also made iconic scores for Harry Potter, Jaws, Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park.

[@idgaf23547]

When you add in him doing the Superman score, E.T, Schindler's List, Home Alone, and Saving Private Ryan. It's almost like he scored every iconic piece of cinema music. Obviously Elfman, Giachinno, Zimmer, Silvestri, etc. are all phenomenal composers but Mr. Williams seems to have had the biggest resume. I suppose being second in most Oscar nominations ever behind Walt Disney isn't so bad either.

“The force is with you young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet.” Is probably in my mind the most iconic line of any movie ever and always sends chills down my spine. This movie is perfect. Sets up so well for the final movie.

[@DigimonFan814]

Most of this movie is just infinitely quotable. It easily stands the test of time as the best film in the saga.

I saw this in the movie theater with my children when it was first released. I was so impressed that I saw it a few days later.. alone. My first Star Wars film and my favorite as well.

[@brucechmiel7964]

Superman came out in 79' and has one of the best soundtracks ever recorded. Jhon Williams has arguably the greatest list of achievements in the business. You guys do realize this film was scored by the London Symphony Orchestra right? The greatest collection of musicians in the world. Of course it sounded fantastic.

[@RyanBlazeheart]

Fun fact: Mark Hamill was in car accident in the interim between parts, so that's why he looks so different in this movie facial wise.

[@meghanmonroe]

You mentioned that the music (especially The Imperial March) sounds more contemporary than 1980, so I thought I'd pop in to say that it might be because the composer was John Williams - the genius behind basically every Spielberg film, the first four Harry Potter films, the Star Wars films, and plenty of others. His sound is iconic.

the confusion with the princess's name started in the first movie, where it was pronounced differently several times.later translations from English deepened the chaos. even in Bulgarian I can immediately list several options:лея,леа,лейа, лейя, лийя....as I said, chaos - of planetary proportions!

The astroid theme is incredible

[@AlexSilverCat]

Already adopted the 'Use the Force!' mantra whenever there's a problem- true Star Wars converts! Light sabers are a cheat code- kinda. They've got some downsides/weaknesses, but those were mainly invented/explored in the books and extended universe, rather than the movies. Seeing people react to Yoda for the first time is awesome! He is, indeed, a literal troll. ...there's actually a lot to unpack in Vader calling the Emperor 'Master,' if you do a deep dive into the Star Wars universe. Welcome to the source of the memes. See you next movie!

[@lukastace3154]

Yep, like how Ahsoka made a lightsaber explode to kill an Inquisitor

The movie where the biggest revelation of science fiction occurs but at the same time the biggest spoiler of science fiction. 😂😂😂

For a long time it is a big spoiler and not at the same time. It is not because of Prequels and that it became so popular that even those who didn't watched Star Wars know it.

Luke's face being that busted was more than special effects and make up . His actor , Mark Hamil had a pretty severe car accident , and some facial reconstruction surgery altering his look . The scene with the beast was a plot device meant to explain his face

[@leonrussell9607]

Mark hamill has actually said thats not true

[@red_haired_ken]

Fun Fact: during the filming of the “i am your father scene” both the actor for Vader and Luke didn’t know the true line, the “i am your father” was added in after when James Earl Jones did the voice over for Vader. During the filming the original line was “obiwan killed your father”. This was even Shocking to Mark Hamill (Luke) as he was even shocked when seeing it in theaters. That’s how committed they were to keeping the twist a secret

[@sebastianoleary2743]

Mark Hamil actually did know, George Lucas and Director Irving Kershner told him right before they filmed the scene, it was Harrison Ford (and everyone else) who didn't know. When he saw the scene, he leaned over to Mark and said, "Hey kid, that wasn't in the script."

@@TotalDramaHarold Adjusting the tv to watch 3D, was a thing for many decades. I was answering their question about how long 3D has been a thing, and that it was different from today’s 3D. Saying that there was 3D, even in the 20’s, in no way implies I was there. TV’s didn’t exist in the 20’s. So equating my statement, about adjusting our tv’s to see it, to my claiming I was doing so in the 1920’s, is ignorance of history. TV’s weren’t available to the public until 1938. I will edit my original post, to clarify that the second statement is about my childhood.

28:35 Movies have had rudimentary 3D since the 1960's, you've seen like those old school red and blue glasses right? Only a few movies came out then with that type of 3D and then the fad faded out quickly, the effect wasn't all that great for the day. I think one of the last big movies to come out with that old style of 3D was Jaws 3-D (a few other horror movies also tried it but mostly were low budget garbage that were quickly forgotten)

Vader is the emperors disciple. Among the Sith Lords there is a rule that it can only be the master and his apprentice. The master can only be replaced if the apprentice manage to kill him. In that way the siths made sure that every new master was stronger then the previous.

Don't let anyone tell you there's only one way to pronounce Leias's name. There are two common ways. Lee-uu and Lay-uu have acceptable.

Lay-uu always seemed to be American adults preference so a lot of us becoming adults in the US felt compelled to switch over time.

[@patticrichton1135]

The way you put to "uu"s after Lee and Lay would make most people think her name is pronounced like this "Lee- you" or Lay - you" It would have been better phonetically to type "Lee -uh" or Lay -uh"😊

LOL You guys. "When I think of an old film, I think of it being bad quality...' As if 1980 was "Old". Film have been capable of being extremely high quality for nearly 100 YEARS now. But for early high quality it came down to how much money you wanted to spend. If you gentlemen would like to see what the Best of the Best could do nearly 90 years ago, then I highly recommend you watch 1938's "The Adventures of Robin Hood" That movie cost a fortune when it was made and it shows. Not only that, it's a fun fantasy action movief and a landmark of film history. But even so, 1980 is NOT old! :D Believe it or not, the standard 35mm film stock at that era had resolution *better* than 4k Blu-Ray. Not standard 1080p, it's roughly equivalent to 2160p. It was usually just the transfer to Home Viewing that made them look poor.

[@torikazuki8701]

In regards to your reaction to Vader revealing he was Luke's Father, I know you guys didn't mean anything by it, but to mock it by bringing up 'White Privilege' & that nonsense... Really? I'm White, my Father was also White, he also got married when he was in the Vietnam war, to a Vietnamese Woman, had two kids with her, then abandoned her when his tour was up, without divorcing her. Then he married my Mother, and had My Older Brother and myself. He was abusive to them both and my Mother finally left him when he threw his 4-year-old Son through a Wall. He fled the State without paying any child support, then remarried again. In 1989 he molested his 10-year-old Daughter. Luke's reaction to finding out his Father was a Monster was perfectly appropriate and thinking 'Race' had anything to do with it is beyond absurd.
