Rest in Peace James Earl Jones. We’re going to miss you greatly, sir.

[@alosim1541]

Han Solo, Darth Vader and Mace Windu are all in this movie

[@zlinedavid]

Not to mention Dumbledore and Boromir

[@jonesbrien460]

yep

[@jonnyb70]

and they're all on the side of the good guys

[@GusMcGuire]

If we’d had Dr Crusher in this movie it would have been a ‘full house’.

[@dahbay5801]

Owl from Daredevil and Torquil from Krull also make an appearance.

[@plissken2156]

What James Earle Jones should've said - "We would be honored if you would join us."

[@MatthewKearney69]

So true. He says they’re more comfortable without Jack around.. then welcomed by everyone and has a table and documents to read .

[@MatthewKearney69]

So true. He says they’re more comfortable without Jack around.. then welcomed by everyone and has a table and documents to read. If Adm Greer didn’t want him there he wouldn’t be there. Really odd way to welcome back a guy to cia who earlier u asked to return when Sean miller escaped.

[@plissken2156]

You're missing the point of my comment. "We would be honored if you joined us." is a quote James Earl Jones said to Harrison Ford back in 1 980's The Empire Strikes Back.

[@robertmorris8997]

@@plissken2156 I thought Darth Vader said that to Han Solo.....

[@plissken2156]

Yup. You're right. My bad.

[@Commonlogicguy]

Nice to have Darth Vader vouch for you. Wait, did darth Vader just vouched for Han Solos?

[@zatarawood3588]

How did he vouch for him? Was there some implicit message in something he said?

[@nkt1]

@@zatarawood3588 "You were explaining", i.e. you, not we. "...we would be better off, without him around here" a mild rebuke, i.e. we would be better off without a skilled and highly-motivated analyst? Really? "...or something along those lines" i.e. dismissive, and gives Marty an opportunity to backtrack, without explicitly contradicting him in from of a junior employee.

[@chinapoliticsfromtheprovin6133]

Note the red headed woman in the scene after the introductions, at her desk (2:01), looking at the monitor, doing her work. Pretty sure she reappears in the bathroom when Jack steps into the wrong one, and says that "one of us is in the wrong place". Real attention to continuity on the part of the director and production staff.

[@acer3573]

This scene was in my head the first time I visited Langley in 2008.

[@gpapa31]

And, did it live up to your expectations?

[@tandemfandom1]

I was there in 2001

[@ZeroKool7140]

I was there in 2001 for an award ceremony. DDO took my sister and I to his office and gave each of us a challenge coin from Clandestine Service. Coolest experience ever.

[@antoninoskomnenos1022]

Harrison Ford and James Earl Jones had such good chemistry in this movie. I wonder if they'd ever worked in any movies together before?

[@Lupinthe3rd.]

fun fact : this was the first film to ever have scenes shot at CIA headquarters in Langley

[@nizloc4118]

Love this scene. Its literally maybe 30 seconds long.... James Earle Jones has like 3 sentences, or so. And he nails it. Not because of his dialog. Its the dialog, and how he delivers it. For being just a side character in this series, he stood out in every scene. Guy has a great presence on screen.

[@sashaking1115]

Yes!!

[@northislandguy]

He literally owned the place 😂 what a boss to have

[@dman1737]

He’s the only Greer I know.

[@Melody_Raventress]

He just kills, no matter what. Fantastic.

[@roadwarrior144]

I think that a better line for Adm Greer would’ve been “You were just explaining to Jack how glad we are to have him back with us again…..or something along those lines.”

[@sroevukasroevuka]

Dont piss greer off. Jacks his protoge

[@Retsler54]

0:48 I love this "I have guys on it. Guys who know something about the IRA"

[@Mrz-sb1hw]

And with our combined strength jack we can rule the galaxy.

[@181stTIE]

Hey... the Jedi librarian got a promotion

[@nitrateodin]

0:53 Pretty sure that's a picture of JFK on the back wall. How appropriate for a picture of JFK to be in the CIA, a trophy.

[@alfredvalrie5541]

Ouch

[@GrayFoxROU]

Please do not feed the agents.

[@sitdowndogbreath]

They feed themselves

[@theefrankguy]

James Earl Jones to the rescue!!!.

[@tomsmith5584]

1:01 Darth Vader hires Han Solo.

[@mykovrivera8643]

Tom S. hooray to darth vader he saved my ass

[@Sunburn2007]

LOL

[@menzozabarrian]

I'm still having trouble having James Earl Jones saying, "We'd be better off without him . . ." Equates to him going back to work.

[@Retsler54]

Imagine Vader asking Han Solo that question. "Managed any SLEEP?"

[@airdriver]

As far as I’m concerned, the jury is still out as far as who made the better Jack Ryan. Harrison Ford or Alec Baldwin. They both played the part so well it’s hard to decide

[@jadenthomas1169]

I always thought this was a weird introduction to Rose. I know she's also in Clear and Present Danger, but this introduction here makes it seem like we should have known her before Patriot Games, but she wasn't in The Hunt For Red October. Is she a character in the Jack Ryan books by Tom Clancy?

[@jonnyb70]

not by that name that i'm aware of.

[@Beginstheman]

The name may have been changed for whatever reason, but I guess the canon character closest to Rose's would be Mary Patricia Foley.

[@juvandy]

@@Beginstheman possibly, but Foley is supposed to be younger than Ryan. Rose seems to be more of an admin assistant than an analyst.

[@theJukeboxHero40]

The music between 2:07 and 2:42 is absolutely taken from Aliens (1986). It's uncanny between 2:17-2:24. Horner struck gold and ran with it I suppose.

[@markusbjorklund5920]

Horner was heavily influenced by Aram Khachaturian's Gayane's Adagio.

[@Alapozo]

Yeah totally

[@robertmorris8997]

Horner was an amazing genius.

[@methos-ey9nf]

Got to love when music does the heavy lifting. If you mute it the first 30-40 seconds is literally a guy walking across the parking lot. Take it off mute and suddenly it feels dramatic.

[@ralphbuschman3364]

Once a spook at Langley, do you ever really leave?

[@commanderkeen3787]

The actor playing Marty was apparently so rude to other actors. Marcia Harden co-starred with him in Miller's Crossing and tells a story about him screaming at her

[@TrevorMoses312]

J E Freeman.

[@pontiusporcius8430]

He had issues, but he was great actor and an alright guy in his personal conduct from what I know. One of his last roles was the tremors prequel movie.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

as soon as that baritone voice starts it just shuts down the room

[@cheyenneasiafoxe292]

James Earle Jones the ultimate Admiral Greer!

[@danpartridge8584]

I'm on a James Earl Jones kick this morning. RIP to a true legend 💪

[@Yuurei21]

I am reading too much in it and being obvious. 0:28 that pause, in my head I hear Ryan asking himself, "You sure about this? Damn sure!"

[@lennarthagen3638]

Always has to play the hero couldnt play a bad guy even if he tried.

[@TrevorMoses312]

In "What Lies Beneath" he did.
