I was about ten when this movie came out. My best friend (who had no father) saw it, and told me about this scene. Spoilers. And it crushed him. And he refused to accept Vader was telling the truth. He kept saying “Do you think he is really Luke’s father? Or do you think he is just saying that?” I’m like wait til I see the movie first!!

[@jansonshrock2859]

what the vision on dagobah is saying is that if Luke confronts vader and opposes him with the dark side anger and agression that he has, then even if he defeats darth vader that makes him no better than darth vader in the end

[@runrunforrest]

“I know he’s got a round bed” is the most accurate description of Lando that I’ve ever heard in 30+ years. That’s now my headcanon for life 😂 I love Hannah and Ash so much.

@@zbynekurbanek3345 good point. I suppose the uncle could have been referring to the Tuskin Raiders that Anakin butchered. But I would think Obi Wan did tell them and stressed how important it was to keep Luke hidden ((especially his last name).

Anakin was reckless before turning into Darth Vader, they could have meant that Luke was also prone to taking unnecesary risks and jumping into danger head first.

[@SalvableRuin]

This was the best Empire Strikes Back reaction I have seen for the following reasons: 1. You guys not even knowing who Yoda was made it so nostalgic. It reminded me of when I first saw this movie when I was a kid. 2. Ash seeing Lando: "Oh my God, was a handsome man..." Perfect lol 3. You guys not knowing Vader was Luke's father, and your reaction to finding out was the cheery on top.

[@theduckfromthejoke152]

4. Hannah didn't want to believe it but Recognized he searched his Feelings and then realize the next movie Must be about finding out the answer 5. Finding out ash's mom needs anal lube 6. When when hannah says lando is not good for them right now.. Because right now. Is literally when he's not good but generally he is... 7. Hannah is just like ash's mom and needs anal lube 8.

To see someone actually react to "I am your father" after all this time is priceless! One of the biggest plot twists in film history and it hit you guys in the face! Also, the Yoda meeting is a throwback to the "stranger on the road" trope from Samurai films. The master would test the student on the student's journey to meet the master, while the student didn't know his real identity. It was usually some test of character, to see if the student was worthy of the power they would obtain, via knowledge of the sword.

@@rbrtck That wasn't foreshadowing, just a lucky coincidence. When the first movie was filmed Vader was not supposed to be Luke's father, he was just Tarkin's lapdog and supposed to die in the final battle. Having him survive was a last minute decision in case they wanted to use him again.

[@rbrtck]

@@philippschmidt80 I know, as I've been a fan since watching the original movie in theaters in 1977. And Leia kissing Luke wasn't supposed to end up the way it did later, either (you know what I mean). However, none of this is the way the story ended up, which is ultimately what matters. Everything doesn't have to be deliberate or planned out ahead. The story development process is its own separate story, not the story we actually got on the screen.

The "I love you" and the "I Know" response is about the fact that from beginning of movie Han knew she cared about him but wouldn't say, so when she finally did he was just reconfirming what he knew all along.

[@cubbiedog2814]

The line "I know" was a last minute idea. They knew that with Han being the rough and tough smuggler that he was, it wouldn't be easy for him to simply say "I love you too", those words were not in the character's vocabulary. So, the line we got was improvised by Ford after the director told him just come up with whatever he felt that Solo would say in a moment like this.

[@davidt1621]

Han understood that she wanted to make sure he was aware of her feelings for him. Him saying, "I know," is his way of telling her that he's more competent than she thinks. He's implying that he knows things that she's unaware of. It's a very dominant but empathetic mindset for Han to have, almost fatherly and consoling, but in a romantic way. It's not just a cold and distant uncaring dismissal of her feelings. It's exactly the opposite, and if that had happened to any woman IRL, she'd understand it in the moment. But they watch it and some are confused. I think I know why this is confusing for some, but it's inappropriate to discuss. Suffice to say that sweet Hannah probably knows nothing about subspace and that's not a sci-fi reference. It's a bedroom reference.

Yeah between that and him just putting together that Anakin is Vader so easily, the name Anakin being as rare as it is, and only being mentioned once in the movie way earlier on when the Emperor says "Anakin's son is out there" ..

Maybe women don't like the idea that a woman could have irrational baggage holding them back in a relationship and a man could still love her, thereby being the one with more power in the relationship.

[@KHL_ZEIT]

An insight on the whole "I love you - l know" between Leia and Han: The whole movie they refuse out of pride to tell each other openly what they both feel until that point. When Leia realizes he could die, she drops the game and tells him, just for Han to say "I know", meaning: "I have also been silly, but l know, because l do love you too". It's two people deciding to leave pride aside and realizing what's important above all: the love they feel for each other.

The best SW movie ever made. And every fan has always been hoping every single other movie to at least come close to this one. Great simple fun story, well written, with characters that grow and have authentic and funny interactions, plot twists that make sense (and not made for the stupid “just to subvert expectations” aspect that in reality is just an egotistical thing), and a touch of non pretentious philosophy. The prequels feel like fast food, and the sequels like pre-heated food that tastes like plastic. So crazy that we never got Star Wars at this level again. The only ones I can remember getting close are Rogue One and Andor.

[@Performing_Nerd]

Han Solo's "I know" is kind of like Westley's "As you wish" from The Princess Bride. It does mean I love you, but it's more about the unspoken connection. Han has always had some sort of zinger or sly comeback, but it this moment, the simple acknowledgment and acceptance says more than any canned romantic phrase would. Leia knows how he feels, and Han knows how Leia feels. I think it also shows Hans acceptance of his own death and sacrifice. He loves Leia, but he accepts that he won't ever see her again.

You’re going to find out whether Darth Vader was lying or telling the truth about being Luke’s father. The question is, do you want to find out by just going on to episode 6 (following the “release order”) or do you want to find out by watching the episodes 1,2,3 to get the “backstory” (the so called “machete “ order), and then going on to episode 6 to tie it all together?

So the director just told him to go with what felt right and “I know” came out. It is certainly a very Han thing to say. Especially since he is still growing as a character.

[@Travelinmatt1976]

It's crazy growing up with these films and seeing others who know absolutely nothing about them. They are such a huge part of pop culture, so many things reference Star Wars.

[@kingscorpion7346]

that twist has been in pop culture since 1980. it's so nice to see people who have never heard of it react! and that controversy went world wide until the 3rd movie.

[@sammylane21]

😂😂. "No. I am you're father!", this quote/line has been stunning adults and even making some cry in disbelief since 1980, 40yrs+.

[@sambutler8839]

When you said it makes you feel like you're 3-4 years old, that got to me. I first saw this movie when I was 3, because my Dad had the original trilogy on VHS. He died when I was 9. Years have passed, and I'm 22 now and this is a movie I'll cherish forever.

[@TrthBHld]

Says Ash with pigtails in his hair..."This film is making me feel 2, 3, 4 years old." 🤣😂

[@muninraven3327]

I love how Hanna can say some of the craziest sounding shit, but more often than not there is a genuine, solid reasoning to her logic. She just comes at it from a different angle that seem to bend space and time, before arriving at her point.

[@Wombat118]

This has to be the best reaction to this movie out there. The fact that you knew NOTHING and were able to nail down some of the most intricate "Symbolisms" is magnificent.

[@DTex]

Haven’t seen a “mind blown” reaction like that at that “I am your father” scene in a bit…🤯😂

[@aiden22theastronaut72]

You 2 are truly 2 or my favorite entertainment personalities ever, A list Hollywood and all, keep up what you do, it’s so great! Gives a single dad like me some laughter when my daughters are at their moms.

[@stephenfitzgerald9769]

I am so happy that you two got the symbolism of the cave vision right off. That and Yoda’s ‘size matters not’ speech are two of the most spiritually profound moments in this franchise. And you’re absolutely right about the meaning, too: “master your anger, or your anger will make you into a monster.” So accurate and so true. And it’ll be important again in _Return of the Jedi! _

[@dabreal82]

"cut a bear open and crawl inside it" is the most hannah thing that hannah has ever hannahed😂😂😂

Ash, quite excited, demanding a movie for Lando. He has no idea how happy he will be when he sees Lando's great role and participation in the next episode. Excellent reaction from both of them.

[@LukeMaynard]

This is everything I ever wanted in a reaction to this film. I've seen people who weren't spoiled on Vader yet. I've never seen people who were so totally innocent going in, AND understood every level of what they were watching. Of course this is a movie parents show their kids as soon as possible if they love it, so I've seen "I am your father" reactions from kids anywhere from age 3 to 10. None of them ever get hit by it the same way an adult does. Nobody ever is enough of a child to understand the Force and the father-son tension, AND enough of an adult to understand the romantic subtlety between Han & Leia. You two get the whole package, and it's brilliant. A girl who says with certainty "He doesn't love her," and a guy who says with equal certainty, "he does," tells you just how perfectly written that whole scene was. Brilliant. Best reaction to anything I've seen in years. I'm too young to have been there when this movie was released (I was born 9 months later, which makes me have some very weird feelings about how I got my name). But this is the first reaction that really captured how it must have felt being there.

[@jacobcrist3080]

Interesting story about the "I love you - I know" line. Originally Han actually was scripted to say "I love you" back to her but it didn't quite seem right and they weren't getting the scene to work so they had done several takes. At that point Harrison had heard her say I love you so many times he ad libbed "I know". They ultimately felt it was more in line with Han's character and used that line instead

[@christophercuk]

Irvin Kershner smashed this film out of the park!

[@5ilver42]

It's a shame he didn't direct many more films after this. Truly a talented craftsman he was.

How have they gone their entire life and NOT heard of the famous "I am your father" scene?

[@tehawfulestface1337]

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! That reaction to "I am your father." That was the best ever! That it was never spoiled for you after all these decades is a bloody miracle. I spolied it for myself. Weeks before the movie opened in theaters, I could not wait and I bought the book. When I read, "I am your father." I reacted EXACTLY like you guys did! I was alone in the house. I ran out the door and screamed at my neighbors! "Darth Vader is Luke's father!!!!" When I finally saw it in theaters, I waited for it...the theater let out the loudest gasp ever! People were screaming at the screen. No, No NO!!!! I discovered the thrill of reaction videos that moment. I saw the film over a dozen times. When it got to that scene, I turned around and watched the audience react. It was an adrenaline rush I got addicted to. The reason I watch reaction videos. Ash, Hannah you just injected it straight into my veins!!!! Hannah, your reaction to Han saying "I know" was exactly what Han intended for Leia. He thought he was going to die. He wanted to leave Leia upset enough to remain strong to continue fighting. Hannah, your reaction was what he hoped Leia would do too.

[@peterretep4009]

General Veers (the guy leading the ground assault) is played by the same actor as Grand Maester Pycelle (the old geezer in Kings Landing) in Game of Thrones.

Fun fact - mark hamil (Luke skywalker) had a real car accident before this movie and had scars from the crash - this is why the monster was put in at start of movie that scratched his face.

Oh my days. Best F-ing Reaction to this classic banger. Your reaction to the "big reveal" is THE best on the internet. And I know it's genuine, because you couldn't have possibly over-reacted because you literally had no idea it was coming and have no frame of reference for it. Thanks for making us all feel like nerdy kids again.

[@MonkGames666]

They originally had Han Solo say he loved her back but it did fit / sound right. Harrison Ford then said "I know" and they ran with it

[@Shiirow]

They only changed it because Harrison didnt feel that Han is the type of guy to say "I love you" or "I love you too" back. They did one take with him going "I know" and thats the one they stuck with.

[@skyezz9928]

Aw Hanna! When Han says "I Know", it's to say "I don't doubt that at all". Like she would never say it without meaning it. He fully believes her when she says it because of how honest and good she is.

Hannah is bright .. working out that Vader is Anakin, Luke lived with his uncle.. put the pieces together very quickly. I can't beleive this is the first time you guys have seen this but it's great to see and looks genuine. Brilliant. Also, I remember as a 7 year old in 1984 thinking the same thing as Hannah about Solo saying " I know". I thought, thats rubbish and off, he should say I love you too. It's in the years since people say its a cool line but maybe it isnt. Hannah saying he doesnt love her then - I swear she's spot on with so much. You know in real life, the actress who played Leia was in love with him but he wasnt, and it was his idea to add that line - it wasnt in the script.
