Return of the Jedi (1997) "Victory Celebration" Ending [HD]

[@dragon5521]

By far the best version of the ending. The added scenes of Cloud City, Mos Eisley, and Coruscant, Victory Celebration instead of Yub Nub, and Sebastian Shaw instead of Hayden, and really good quality to boot. Perfection.

If I was him, I'd have wanted to tell George it would have been better to let me perform the scene for real instead of using BTS footage of me just standing there not knowing it's gonna be cut out and tacked on over Sebastian Shaw.

Much better than the original ending. It's great to see scenes of people across the galaxy rejoicing after the defeat of the Empire at Endor, and I also like how Sebastian Shaw was included instead of Hayden Christensen like in some other versions. Anakin Skywalker was in his 40s when he died, and it's logical that his force ghost will be around the same age as when he passed. The music is also nicer!

[@terryrocks2j]

@@empirestate8791 Exactly, it proves Luke's point that there was still good in him, that Anakin was still Anakin in Vader. When this gets brought up, then some fans who defend Hayden will say oh, it's because young Anakin returned briefly. It's an excuse after and excuse. If you like it, fine but old man Anakin makes far more sense since he never truly died as Luke mentioned. Don't forget, Lucas did not have this concept until the 2004 releases. He keeps changing what is what years after years. He finally stopped simply because he sold the franchise.

This is the true ending of Star Wars. There are no sequels, no loose ends. The story ends here. Palpatine and Vader are dead. Anakin Skywalker was redeemed and destroyed the Sith once and for all, fulfilling the prophecy as the Chosen One. The Empire has fallen, the Rebels have won. The Skywalkers go on to rebuild the Jedi.

You know your true Star Wars. There is little value in the brand for all those fans who don't know its meaning, but turn professional when it comes time to reciting all the additional nonsensical details the owners made up after the fact. Those details aren't the real Star Wars, and most of them aren't worth a thing.

I'm definitely not at all in a pit of hate towards the Sequel Trilogy. That said, I would agree that they probably should've left well enough alone.

[@47of74]

As it's all just a movie (and now) novel, comic books, games, TV show, etc I just try to relax about it all. Either Sebastian or Hayden being in as Anakin's force ghost is plausible and I don't think either would be unreasonable. In the new canon "Shadow of the Sith" novel Skywalker flashed between his old and new appearances so his appearance to the physical world might have been influenced by the Force. I also once saw a meme that suggested that Anakin and force ghosts could choose their appearances and once they learned that from Anakin both Obi-Wan and Yoda turned themselves into much looking me. (With Yoda wanting to haunt a Mos Eisley cantina during ladies night).

[@futuremovieactor]

I don't mind Hayden in there that much and saw nothing wrong with adding Naboo too (even with "Weesa free!" in the mix haha). That said, Sebastian Shaw in his limited screen-time as both Anakin Unmasked and then as a Force Spirit is SO perfect, that's not something to mess with.

[@KentKaliber]

@@futuremovieactor Exactly, Anakin Skywalker MATURED into Luke's father before his death, and there's something so fatherly and special seeing him there.

[@diegoyqulki]

[@justinturley7071]

0:07 My Favorite scene in any Star Wars Movie is right here. So emotional. All 5 Movies were built to this moment in particular. From Anakin to being a slave with his Mother, to becoming a Powerful Jedi, to being conflicted at what to do, his turn to the Dark, which led to the loss of Padme, loss of limbs, burnt and living 22 years in constant pain of the suit he was wearing and constantly being reminded on how he got to that point, pain of Padme and Obi-Wan Haunted his dreams, until Luke came into his life, beforehand Vader had always thought that his children died with Padme, which was wrong, Luke was Obi-Wan and Yoda's last Hope, Vader basically lost it when Luke would've rather died than joined his father in the Dark Side, which is why Vader said, "Bring My Shuttle!" In A pissed off mood, but it all came to a head in this movie, the constant manipulation Palpatine put into Anakin since he was 10 and now look at him, a broken man in a painful suit to stay in the Dark Side. But when Luke would've rather get murdered by Palpatine than joined the Dark Side, really spoke volumes at just how much he loved his Father. Luke knew their was good in Vader, but just then as Luke was getting attacked by Palpatine's force lightning, he remembered things from his past, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Padme and the children they had together, from that, Anakin broke free from the shackles and killed Darth Vader right then and there and killed Palpatine. Thus bringing Balance to The Force and Fulfilling the Prophecy, but most importantly saving his son. Anakin Loved his son Luke and Daughter Leia. It was those who brought him back to the light. And Anakin Skywalker was able to die in peace. And Become One with The Force. Anakin's turn hurt the Galaxy, but his redemption was what saved the Galaxy.

I wish the '97 versions were perserved along with every other version. I myself watched the dvd boxset of the 2006 limited editions so the ones I remember are the 2004 version and the GOUT version which was the one I watched the most and the one that I know the best it's "my version" after I discovered what was on the bonus disc, but I know my older cousins that their version was this '97 version and like the original version this too has been lost I feel. It's weird because I like watching the '97 version in context to the 90s even though I'm more of a purist because it's very much a product of it's time. I think my problem is that after The Phantom Menace came out is when they dropped the 'Special Edition" branding and began pretending like this is the way it always was. After the Prequels when more changes were made, they became a weird hodge podge because then it was a movie trilogy from the 70s and 80s which had digital early CGI effects added from the 90s then some inconsistent CGI touch-ups, weird sound mixing, magenta filtering, and prequel era additions in the 2000s. They have been ran through so many filters at this point that they just look weird and inconsistent. Like why was Jabba the only CGI model updated and not Sy Snoodles and the rest of the epanded Max Rebo Band, or the sarlacc or the low resolution Ronto that walks in front of the camera.

While I've never been a fan of unnecessary changes to art, I can usually accept it if A ) the original version is still available somehow and B ) the changes are sensible and not just made out of paranoia or pandering.

I'm not against force ghost Hayden, it makes sense, but Sebastian Shaw put in a lot of effort and deserves to be seen, so I felt replacing him was unnecessary. This 1997 cut was the first version of the film I saw, as I was 6 when it was released, and I think I like this ending the most. The music the Ewoks play is more emotional than the original version imho, but I also like having Sebastian Shaw make an appearance with his body intact.

This is probably the best version of the ending. Naboo and Hayden were unnecessary editions. Though I can understand an argument for it since George did paint himself into a corner quite a bit when he made the prequels, considering Vader was supposed to be 45 when he died. And Sebastian Shaw does not look 45 lol. In fact I'd bet that originally the Clone Wars were probably supposed to have taken place at least 10 years earlier than they did in canon. But attaching the end of the CW to the formation of the Empire as well as the births of Luke and Leia into a neat package for the sake of the movie REALLY forced the issue. And now we're just supposed to believe that Obi Wan died in his 50's and Anakin in his 40's :P

Heck even when The Phantom Menace came out (and debatably Attack of the Clones), we didn't know how old Anakin was going to be when he turned to Darth Vader. It wasn't until Revenge of the Sith where they decided to make Anakin only 22 when he became Vader, and only 41-45 in the original trilogy. But before that most people thought he was much older in the original trilogy. Like maybe in his late 50s or 60s. Also Obi Wan was supposed to be older as well.

This ended the franchise well. Force awakens, last Jedi and rise of skywalker ruined everything.

[@bryanavalosacero4064]

Whos the third force ghost?

[@josebro352]

Sébastien Shaw. The original actor who played Anakin before Hayden Christensen was digitally inserted.

Return of the Jedi was never an ending for me Because there's still much work to do Rebellion needs to restore the Republic And Luke needs to rebuild the Jedi Order

[@Soup-man]

All of that shit happens in the books. The Disney stuff doesn't count.

@@Soup-man I know, I read some of those books. And I always wished they would make movies based on books

[@sgauden02]

This is exactly how everyone will celebrate if Star Wars ever gets out from Disney and Kathleen Kennedy's thumb.

[@johnmcclain2848]

The special editions are a blight on humanity.

[@DavidTheMovieGuy]

Eh, they're fine. It just sucks that the original versions aren't available in any official capacity

[@KentKaliber]

Sebastian Shaw > Hayden

[@Gabe69-d4v]

return of the jedi came out in1983

[@Gabe69-d4v]

this also isnt the modern one

[@DavidTheMovieGuy]

@@Gabe69-d4v Yeah, what this is is an HD upload of the 1997 special edition

[@Gabe69-d4v]

@DavidTheMovieGuy oh I didn't know

[@EduFisica.Pablito]

me gusta más esta versión de final... con Anakin Señor

[@spaceace4387]

And according to the ST this isn’t the real ending, this is just a fake ending, episodes 1-6 were all building up to bring forth a hero to destroy the Sith and save the galaxy and that hero’s name was Rey Skywalker.

[@dannybright8708]

You mean Rey Palpatine?

Yub nub, everyone. Yub nub.

Acolyte being cancelled lol

[@Darthlucy1]

For as much as I don’t like the Sequel Trilogy, I am honestly tired of the constant bashing more. It’s been almost five years since TROS, move on. Sorry I just hate how most Star Wars videos these days are full of constant negativity.

[@DavidTheMovieGuy]

Agreed!

[@greatBLT]

I know, right? People shouldn't let Disney Star Wars live rent free in their heads. It's not canon, anyway

[@DavidTheMovieGuy]

@greatBLT You missed the point of his comment completely lmao. They're canon. Let it go

[@greatBLT]

There's nothing to let go of. That's just the situation.

[@DavidTheMovieGuy]

@@greatBLT you came back a month later to say there's nothing to let go of? Idk man

[@NostalgicGamerRickOShay]

The horns at the very beginning or an obvious rip off of the Ten commandments.

[@hunterolaughlin]

No. It’s a reused sound effect from The Ten Commandments. It’s common practice for Hollywood to recycle sounds from other films. I mean, why else do you constantly hear the Wilhelm Scream in this one and millions of other films?

[@ManavJith]

Mark these words: This is the official end of Star Wars. There is no sequel trilogy

[@DavidTheMovieGuy]

There is a sequel trilogy

[@ManavJith]

​@@DavidTheMovieGuyFor true Star Wars fans,there is not. If there is, it could be The Mandalorian

[@DavidTheMovieGuy]

Whether you're a Star Wars fan or not, there is a sequel trilogy

[@Soup-man]

@@ManavJith I've heard the Heir to the Empire novels were the OG sequels. I haven't read them yet, but from the details I've heard, they sound way better than the garbage we got in theaters.

[@EternalEmperorofZakuul]

​@@ManavJithit's called the thrawn trilogy and it's miles better than baby Yoda the TV series
