My Wife Reacts To Darth Vader's Reveal

I am a HUGE Star Wars fan. My wife has never seen any of them. I secretly filmed her while she watched The Empire Strikes Back to see how she would react to Darth Vader telling Luke that he is his father.

When my grandkids were born, I "banned" anyone from showing them the Star Wars movies because I wanted to show them when the grands were "old enough" to truly understand the movies and I could experience their reactions. My grandson was seven when he saw the original 3 with me. In the ESB scene of Vader revealing his true relationship to Luke, my grandson's mouth was drop-jawed like your wife's and with a bewildered face, he said in a voice struck in pure awe, "I did NOT see that coming." I will cherish that moment to my dying days.

Graham Strouse I thought so as well. Absolutely loved her reaction though. I don't think it was to different from mine when I originally watched this in the movie theater so many years ago.

[@peterweisgerber]

Patrick Taylor I loved it too! it's such a genuine reaction

[@patricktaylor8173]

Peter Weisgerber So have you converted her to a fan? After you guys get the the prequels don't forget to introduce her to the Clone Wars. I think this is some of the best visual and story line work done for the Star Wars universe. I catch a lot grief from some of my friends about watching cartoons. But the stories are just so good. Besides cartoons were originally made for adults.

[@peterweisgerber]

+Patrick Taylor she is definitely enjoying the films! She's not a super fan like me quite yet...but she likes watching them! I agree about the Clone Wars. The animation and story lines are top notch

[@user-fi6wp5ui8l]

I like how a lot of people always question the reveal when they first hear it lol

[@littlewinterflower1831]

Kathy Diaz Yeah, they're like "He's lying! he MUST be lying!!" LOL

[@peterweisgerber]

+Kathy Diaz I think a lot of people's initial reaction is to assume he is lying

[@tb4522]

Lol. I did in the theatre in 1980! I didn't think he was lying, but was so shocked. I love that their are still people out there who the reveal isn't spoiled for them!

[@tb4522]

@Stepping Playlist 1 okay, but didn't post this video?

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

When I first saw it that was my reaction as well, “nah Vader is making it up”

[@davidpick1076]

Congrats on never spoiling her with episodes 1-3 that definitely takes away the reveal in episode 5.

[@peterweisgerber]

+David Pick I agree! We waiting until we watched the original trilogy to watch the prequels

[@makingbabytaylor]

Have you considered Machete order?

[@northplayyyer3453]

In my opinion they should be watched in the order they came out. First you see the story of Luke and then You see the story of his father, Anakin.

[@edictzero]

for the best effect someone who has never seen any should watch 1-2 then skip to 4-5, that way the reveal stays intact. Then, watch episode 3 to figure out how that went down, then finish with 6. People might think darth vader is count dooku if they believe obiwan in ep4 which adds a cool element of surprise

[@northplayyyer3453]

Hmmm. That is actually a pretty cool thing to do. But isnt the name Anakin Skywalker revealed before ep 6. That gives away that Vader is not Dooku. Otherwise that is a good order.

[@l.clevelandmajor9931]

What about when it is revealed that Princess Leia is Lukes Twin Sister? You gotta show her reaction to that also!

[@kylekatarn852]

MMM TWINCEST!

[@l.clevelandmajor9931]

Kyle Katarn That's funny, but she only kissed Luke to try and make Han jealous! I think Leia knew about it already, but was in denial. I think Luke did too, and was also in denial.

+SirCopperBullet isn't it amazing? I could watch her reaction over and over

[@littlewinterflower1831]

SirCopperBullet I felt the same way! sometimes I wish I could forget that scene so I can re experience it all over again... I can't imagine how people must have reacted to Vader's reveal in the theater,all the way back in 1980 😮

[@AugustHawk]

I was there in the 80's at 14 years old, we gasped in pure shock. Afterwards, it was non-stop talk - "Is it true? Is Vader tricking him? How could this be?" We had our theories from belief to doubt until The Return of the Jedi came out. Much like all the banter about Rey, Kylo, Finn, and Poe today. ENJOY IT! :)

I was in my 2nd year of college when Empire came out and I saw it over 20 times. I went every other afternoon after I got out of class...and went to the matinee to see it. Loved every moment, but my favorite scene was the Falcon in the asteroid field.

[@joedigger9919]

I saw it 9, but that was as a 17 year old with the special editions that were released in 1997. Seeing as I was like 5 months old in May 1980, I coulda seen it 100 times and not remember a damn thing :-)

[@masamune2984]

FINALLY an "I am your father" reaction video where someone says, in very logical fashion, what we've all been thinking when we all watch adults react to these. "I've heard the famous line, but I never put it all together." And with that, I am completely sold on this being genuine. Btw, loved the intro, it was very sweet and you seem to have a lovely family!

[@AudioAndroid]

2:23 Yea, that's his dad, you know a lot of people don't realize this but the real reason the second Death Star was running behind completion schedule and half completed wasn't due to man power it was actually the result of the Emperor having to tap into the Empires Emergency Funds to pay off Anakin's Back Child Support.

[@henryhammond7393]

I know it's a famous line but is he really his dad? I never put it together. Tragically I was a child of the 90s who had that whole twist explained to me by my uncle before I ever saw the friggin movie...

[@TheGuitarpro3]

Henry Hammond Lol have you not seen the entire saga? Yes that's his father.

[@henryhammond7393]

Me? No, I was quoting the wife in question in the video. Guess I should have put that in quotations... I've seen the whole saga, but I still had the ending of Empire spoiled for me as a kid before I saw it. I'll never have that jaw drop moment that all the people in these reaction videos get...

[@TailsKitsune7]

Henry Hammond Yeah i hadnt seen a single Star Wars movie either when I figured out Vader was Luke's dad The thing I didnt know was that Leia was Luke's sister that was spoiled to me too XD My first Star Wars movie was The Force Awakens. When I found out Kylo Ren was Han Solo's son, I was like: What?! Then, I was like: Wait a minute... This reminds me of the old movies... XD I then saw 4,5 and 6 I havent seen 1-3 yet or Rouge One

[@ChasterProductions]

You gotta see rogue one, it's one of the best. People will always debate about 1-3, but if you want more star wars they are always there. (If you watch ep.1 first, im sorry, 2 and 3 are much better for obvious reasons)

[@henryhammond7393]

Rogue One is decent, but pretty much only if you're already a Star Wars fan. It doesn't really stand well on its own, it's sort of "Fan Service the Movie." Hell, I'm a Star Wars fan and I was prepared to love it, but I just sort of the left the Theatre feeling mildly disappointed because it was just sort of... okay. But it's fine for their first attempt to do a standalone Star Wars spinoff.

[@animalyze7120]

Thanks for this! I still tear up thinking what they did to the franchise. Nothing in 7 or 8 can stun someone new to the series like the reveal you just showed. It was written different at 1st but Lucas decided to combine Anakin and Darth into 1 being and it was EPIC! It's sad how the new age people can't understand why we were so angry with the new films, they cry racism or Sexists when none of that was what the originals were about. Lei was the Mold by which all female hero's were modeled after the 77 release of the movie. She gave us Strong Women in SciFi and it was ground breaking. May the Old Movies still thrill and excite you!

I love the quality of this video. It's not an ordinary reaction video with someone freaking out in a room, but a true sharing of one fan's special moment sharing this piece of cinematic history with his wife. The intro was great and really grabbed at me. My wife is Vietnamese and she's never seen the films and only knows Darth Vader because I have a figure of him near my computer. I can't wait to go through the films with her and see what she thinks.

[@Ambaryerno]

As deeply ingrained as these films are in popular culture it surprises me that there's still people out there - not just kids, but adults - who are still surprised when they see this scene. I actually envy them; I was so young the first time I saw Empire that I can't even remember how I felt when I learned that Vader was Luke's father. I just always knew.

[@peterweisgerber]

+Ambaryerno that's how I was too! I love that she got to experience it like this!

[@kupodrinksmilk]

Awesome reaction man! Thanks for sharing! The one thing I really appreciate from this reaction is you don't give confirmation to her question of Vader being Luke's father. As a kid, I vehemently denied this and knew in my heart Vader was lying. My aunt wouldn't say anything about it when I asked her until we watched RotJ after. It really helped the viewing experience and I hope your wife felt the same.

+kupodrinksmilk Yep! She had to wait for Yoda to confirm it!

[@aaaaaaaaooooooo]

I love how she is not like, "whatever, any weird thing can be true inside of a movie"

[@seaneehumanbeing]

Priceless! I'm sort of envious of her. I would love to be able to still feel that awe and wonder witnessing that moment in the film as if for the first time.

[@luckystreet77]

" I'm so happy to share with her, something that means so much to me. " ....tha was the best moment in the hole vodeo. Every Star Wars fan Konws that feeling

[@peterweisgerber]

+cris morales it was a big moment for me! She is my everything so to share Star Wars with her is huge

[@rapliberationarmy089]

[@05dturner]

Seriously what I wouldn't give to be able to go back and watch them for the first time.

[@Zarik15]

Her reaction is awesome! You have a beautiful wife and kids man, good for you and I'm glad she finally watched star wars.

[@peterweisgerber]

+Zarik thank you so much! I'm so happy she has been watching them too!

[@sonofcy]

I saw all three of the originals at the time of their release, on what was the largest commercial screen in Europe at that time. It used 70mm projectors. When that scene happened you could hear the gasps.

[@rainbowbrony12]

How she's lived this long and never once heard that Darth Vader was Luke's father in her life bewilders me.

[@peterweisgerber]

+Kenpachi Ramasama it's wild! She just never had any interest in the films

[@butchentertainment931]

This video is wonderful. I have to admit it made me cry. Tears of joy and true understanding (especially because I felt the same way after Carrie Fisher's passing.) From one true fan to another...BRAVO!

[@peterweisgerber]

+Butch Entertainment thank you so much! I'm glad it was able to touch someone as much as it touched me seeing her reaction

[@vmbrister3278]

I saw it when it came out in 1980, I was 15. I saw it 5 times, and when the reveal happened....WHOA! There was many who GASPED! Some, OMG's! and along with several people, including Luke, I said,"NOOOO!" People were TOTALLY Freaked Out!.....It was a Great Moment that I shall never forget...The audience was completely Blown Away! And when Luke let go and fell, several Yelled, NO!!! It was Great!

[@calvincameron354]

"Nooooooooooo,Nooooooooo!" Man that is still so emotional to hear even now.

[@peterweisgerber]

+Calvin Cameron I love it! I agree it gets me emotional too

[@LegendaryGamer980]

[@telecleez]

[@amaniwolf]

Her expression is priceless! lol. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

[@Instantphojo]

[@4EyedAnimation]

Saw it at a midnight show in Boston...the collective gasp from the audience was amazing!

[@solidmyke]

She has a child-like reaction to the reveal. Very adorable

[@niceguyns3521]

Damn man, you need to make a documentary with your film editing skills. I was not expecting this quality and narration. Very nice!

[@peterweisgerber]

+Contrarian Libertarian thanks so much!

[@ajshim]

I will never get tired of seeing people's reactions to this great reveal.

[@peterweisgerber]

+ajshim I love how she reacted to it! I had to make a video about it

[@rjs3590]

I love the line "If you only knew the powwahhhr of the Dark Side" --- oh man... CHILLS to this day!

[@main.ignisha]

Oh wow, I remember seeing this early 2017, and then it finally reappears on my feed. Nice.

[@brianjohns4912]

I remember watching that scene in the theatre with my family and the feeling of immense goosebumps in my 14 year old body. What a moving scene that was. Consider that it was coupled with Harrison Ford's improv line in the Carbon Freezing Chamber where when Leia tells him that she loves him he simply replies: "I know...". Great scenes both of them. For the record my friend Scott and I saw Star Wars in the theatre well over sixty times I kid you not. Star Wars was a phenomenon and remained in the theatres for a year and half. It finally was taken from the theatres only to return six months later again in full release! That's how much of a phenomenon it was! It was unlike any other film that had come before it. It came at a time within a decade of many ground breaking films such as Alien, Terminator, Blade Runner, Die Hard and many other genre changers for the action and sci fi film market. It created the current merchandising medium we have today for toys, comics, wearables and other forms of merchandise. It was nothing less than a phenomenon. I saw Star Wars on its opening day at a drive in theatre with my family as well. So for us Star Wars was a family tradition right up until Phantom Menace. The guys in my family actually got together and had beer and wings before seeing Phantom Menace, having seen Star Wars from the time I was 9 years old. It really was full circle and a great feeling to see Phantom Menace with my brother(s) and my Dad prefixing it with beer and wings!

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

This is the best reaction I have ever seen, she really got involved, when anyone asks why SW is such a big thing This scene is it, and now the wonderful Vader scene in a Rogue One is all they have to see. I believe the acting in this scene is special also, Mark Hamill is a fantastic actor, Im so glad he is now getting the praise he deserves, they were all good in SW but he was brilliant

[@peterweisgerber]

+Ron Wylie I totally agree! Mark is amazing in this scene. I'm glad you enjoyed her reaction!
