Without a doubt fav moment is when Luke snaps at Vader. The music, the way it's shot, everything is just perfect.

[@Robkinggozer]

Yesss. You really feel like the whole saga and also the soundtrack has been building up to this moment. I get goosebumps just remembering it. The soundtrack is such a big part of what makes Star Wars epic. I love the prequels soundtrack as well. At least Williams didn't dissapoint. And I'm sure he won't this time.

[@orinanime]

Andy Liv me too! Holy Hannah! It's the best scene of the entire trilogy!

[@TrueNorthProductions]

YES!

[@TrueNorthProductions]

Luke: ARRRGH! -Vader turns with a quick exhale and inhale- I loves it

[@orinanime]

TrueNorth Productions Luke doesn't just scream/shout. He cries out "NEVER!!!" which is why it's so epic

[@EvanSol919]

Lucas changing things is just a punishment to fans for not liking the prequels.

[@PJVids83]

EvanSol919 That's not even close to being true. Lucas has been changing things since 1995. He said that the VHS tapes were the last time we would ever see the original versions. Four years later, in 1999, The Phantom Menace came out. So, we had four years of tinkering before the prequels disappointed us all.

[@EvanSol919]

***** Fine, Lucas felt the need to destroy his own legacy before the prequels for some reason.

[@PJVids83]

EvanSol919 I wouldn't even say his intent was to destroy Star Wars. It's simple greed. He wanted to bilk more money out of people.

[@EvanSol919]

***** And yet the fans would have bought the original movies with better audio and clarity.

[@PJVids83]

EvanSol919 Well, I don't know how to rectify that part of the situation. It makes no sense to me. It could also be the nitpicky way in which Lucas looks at his own creation.

[@abcdefzhij]

I actually think Episode VI has the most interesting story of all the Star Wars movies, it's just that the directing and general flow of the movie was a lot worse than Episode V. The movie was a lot slower and less action packed, but the story was awesome and the scene with the Emperor, Vader and Luke is by far my favorite scene from any Star Wars movie

[@lloydshanahan154]

just because a film is slower and has less action doesn't mean it's worse. I see it more as film taking it's story more seriously.

[@SaikyoNoFyuujon]

I didn't mind the Ewoks. The only part that stood out as ridiculous to me is when the Ewoks used 2 logs to to destroy an AT-ST. You'd think they'd be more durable than that.

[@Mayeur000Donz]

+ThePrinceOfSaiyajins We'll just assume that those Endor trees make redwoods look like rotten driftwood.

[@TheJ0hnPrest0n]

[@jessemarano5644]

+TheJ0hnPrest0n link?

[@legoman7041]

+ThePrinceOfSaiyajins Actually that's the part that makes the most sense. You got these two giant heavy logs changing their potential energy into kinetic energy of walker crushing death.

[@Tracer_Krieg]

+ThePrinceOfSaiyajins You do realize the mass and kinetic power of those logs right? And the Scout Walker are VERY lightly armored. So it's basically a tine can with meat versus two hammers.

[@kendaar9002]

If the ewoks were replaced by wookies it would have made so much more sense, ewoks killing storm troopers? That should have been impossible but wookies they are beasts, they are what you would get if humans and grissily bears had babies, they are badass and could totally take on stormtroopers

[@MonkeyMagicMonk]

+jamie fuller.... I disagree. You have explained exactly why it would be really stupid for the Empire set up a base next to a Wookie Village- too dangerous. Whereas they underestimated the Ewoks due to their size and they used some guerrilla tactics on the Stormtroopers. If Lucus went with Wookies instead of Ewoks, it would also take quite a major re-write to the middle section of the film. The Wookies wouldn't have captured Han and Luke like the Ewoks did because of Chewy. The Ewoks, on the other hand, were about to cook and eat Han Solo and only stopped when Luke levitated C3PO. That was quite a good scene ... but it would need to be replaced with something else more "friendly" that would resemble the dreadful Holiday Special. Did you see the Hoilday Special? - I think it ruined any chance of the Wookies being used for Return of The Jedi.

[@kendaar9002]

Monkey Magic I suppose your right... also I did see nostalgia critics review of the wokkie Christmas speacial

[@TheGeorgeD13]

+jamie fuller Well... Yoda DID say: "Size matters not."

[@TalhaMansoor]

george lucas wanted storm troopers to be defeated by primitive wokies but chewbacka was seen with techonology so he reversed wokie into eiwok and made them small and furry.

[@MonkeyMagicMonk]

Heitor Mello Personally I like the Ewoks in general ... but I do agree that the Ewoks traps & weapons could have been better & more vicious. Instead of that rocks scene, maybe they could have had trap doors in the ground & with some pet monsters in to attack the stormtroopers... or instead throw in some home made bombs. Also they could have hid in carved out regions of the trees with some bigfuckoff cross bows that pierced a stormtroopers skull!!!

[@DarkMProductions]

My favorite part of Jedi is the Jabba's Palace sequence. I know it takes too long, and so on. But, remember we had just come from Empire Strikes Back, a movie where the heroes never win once. There is only a small victory at the end when the heroes escape, and it's a hollow victory. But that's it. Now, we get to Jabba's palace, and again, the heroes are already loosing. Leia gets captured and put in a compromising position, Han gets captured again, Luke even gets captured and is without his lightsaber. At this point you're like; "Please, just give them one victory, I don't care how small". And then it happens, R2 launches Luke his new lightsaber, and after a badass action scene, the heroes emerge with a great victory, and one of the most satisfying villain death's in film history. This is the point where you're just cheering, and completely pumped up for the rest of the film, because this was the heroes first victory since blowing up the Death Star in the first film. This is why I love the Jabba sequence, and why it's so important to have.

[@hugecock1960]

I liked the Jabba sequence because Princess Leia looked hot as fuck

[@lanceearlwoods528]

[@LeadMuncher09]

To me the ghost change "broke my back". It was disrespectful to Sebastian Shaw, it made no sense story wise, and it taints the ending because Anakin from the prequel does not belong in the original trilogy at all. It is a completely ridiculous change that just pisses me off. That and Boba Fett's voice change. Other changes like adding extra CGI scenes and characters, changing lines for no reason, and the "no" part were all ridiculous and annoying, but Boba Fett's voice change and the ghost change feel downright disrespectful.

[@barkley8285]

Yes it did

[@Moviefan2k4]

+LeadMuncher09 The prequels established that Boba is a clone of Jango, which is why Temuera Morrison was brought in to re-record his very few lines. As for the changing of Anakin;s ghost, how does it disrespect Sebastian Shaw? Its not like he performed much in that moment; the bulk of his screen-time was Vader's death scene, and Lucas left that intact.

[@goncalomendes6828]

+LeadMuncher09 more disrispectfull is the fact that the man that wore the suit of vader for the 3 movies David Prowse, shot the same scenes and was betrayed wen Lucas cast Shaw for just those 2 mts

[@LeadMuncher09]

+Goncalo Mendes Good point about the suit actors. It's mostly an annoying change really. It just doesn't make much sense to change the ghosts storywise either.

[@CarEdy23]

thegreeenbeast yeah you win

[@HyraxusPrimus]

thegreeenbeast In all fairness to the Ewoks, they did take a huge pounding. They only excelled with help from the Rebels and while in large numbers against infantry, and with a whole lot of cleverness against vehicles. If they had been Wookiees instead, the battle would probably be over as soon as Chewbacca gave the first Wookiee growl. Plus, let's not forget key fact #1: they're Stormtroopers. "Entire legion of my best troops" means one is allowed to get a lucky shot on R2, a lucky shot on Leia, and hold Han prisoner for two seconds, and kill two Rebel soldiers and a bunch of Ewoks, because they did kill a bunch of Ewoks. They acknowledged the fact that they weren't as potent in a fight as the Empire. "Short help is better than no help"-Han Solo. And those two lucky, wounding shots were against targets without any cover and they were standing still. Yep, still Stormtroopers. They are only accurate against Sandcrawlers while offscreen. Now, if they were Sand People...

[@coltallic3114]

I heard it was originally supposed to be Wookies in place of Ewoks.

[@jakobrogers625]

Coltallic I heard they couldn't have wookies because they couldn't find enough people like Peter Mayhew that were 7 ft tall but they were able to find people like Warwick Davis that were 3 ft tall so Lucas changed the Wookies to Ewoks. Not because of merchandising, but because of lack of really tall actors.

[@coltallic3114]

Jake The Snake Idk why they couldn't just reuse the same actors.

[@ivistheterrible5872]

The ewoks did almost eat han and luke. That leads me to believe that that was not their first rodeo. They knew how to kill with what they had

[@Bounsingonbongos1]

I think Leah is talking about her Alderan mother when she says that.

[@Moviefan2k4]

+Racist Bassist Luke specifically asks about her "real mother", and therein lies the problem now with the prequels. As the second-born, and with no Jedi training, Leia should be the one with no memory of Padme instead of Luke. The fact of the matter is that Lucas originally planned for Padme to survive, but changed it during production to heighten the drama of Vader's rebirth.

[@Stardweller1]

+Moviefan2k4 Yeah, but Leah might not have known that her Alderaan mother wasn't her real mother.

[@rikvulders2153]

+Eric Naylor but her Alderaan mother was probably still alive, at least when Star Wars went down. Hence Princess Leia, and not Queen Leia

[@Stardweller1]

rik vulders Except we don't actually know that she was. In fact, maybe this is our news that she wasn't. The fact that she was called Princess and not Queen could just as easily be due to her Alderaan father being alive, even if her Alderaan mother wasn't. Or, maybe politics are a little different on Alderaan - they certainly seem to be on Naboo.

[@rikvulders2153]

***** but in the first movie she is Princess Leia right? Which implies that at least one of her parents is still alive, and if it was only her dad he would probably tell Leia about her mother

[@death-king1834]

You know how you said you would have preferred Wookies instead of Ewoks? Well, according to sources I've read, one of the original scripts for Return of the Jedi did have Wookies in them. It would have basically been the same thing, except it would have had the Death Star being built over the Wookie's home planet of Kashyyyk. Though later Lucas said that the Wookies were too advanced and wanted a much more primitive race to fight against the Empire, that's where the Ewoks came in.

For me, the showdown between Luke, Vader and Emperor is still the best scene in Star Wars history. And that "entire legion of best troops"... The Emperor was referencing their marksmanship: they can actually hit targets.

[@squinteastwood4637]

I like how everyone puts on their thinking caps when it comes to ROTJ. Everyone always says Ewoks defeating the Stormtroopers is stupid because the Emperor claims they are his best troops. However, in the original film an ENTIRE death star filled with legions of troops cannot catch 3 teenagers, two (extremely suspect) droids and a, very loud, Wookie to escape. People fail to realize the importance of Ewoks in the film. The Ewoks are of diminutive stature, thus deceiving. You underestimate them, but like Yoda said, "Judge me by my size, do you?" They are the wisdom of nature overcoming the technologically superior forces of evil, using the labyrinth of the forest to aid them. Most importantly of all, they parallel the rebels themselves. They prove that no matter how small you are, you can still overcome evil.

I in no way support Hayden in Episode 6 as Anakin's force ghost, but I think the reason for it canonically is that by many people (Vader included), Anakin and Vader are two different people. Even Obi-Wan told Luke they were different people in Ep 4. So technically, Anakin died on Mustafar and was Reborn as Vader

[@andrewthorne3570]

[@PatrickWardActor]

I can only make one good argument for why George Lucas changed the ghost of luke's father to Hayden Christensen, it's because obviously the last time Anakin was a Jedi was when he was younger, since that time Anakin has been a Sith, NOT a Jedi, plus it doesn't really make sense why he's an old guy in his spirit form, the last time you see him before he dies, is a crumbled burnt face that looks like humpty dumpty, so why does he look unscathed or unburned in his ghost form? It doesn't really make sense.

[@MyProductBrand2]

Patrick Ward okay no it makes more sense for him to be his old age, yes he was burnt but why not have his spirit form look like him if he hadnt been burned on mustafar like the originals? And he died on the light side of the force making him a jedi again, isnt jedi just a title? If you become a force ghost you are 100% a jedi.

[@theavatar4668]

My logic for why Young Anakin would appear is because that was his last moment as Anakin Skywalker, that's how he looked before he became Darth Vader. The moment he became a sith was the moment Anakin died and Vader was born.

[@BlargeMan]

Yeah but he was Anakin again when he killed the emperor...

[@hockeysong]

Vader had no soul, Anakin died when Padme died, and Anakin was completely burned so even if he was old his face and body were not sustainable, Anakins young body was healthy and strong so thats why they switched the old Anakin to the young Anakin (aka Hayden) which i like and it also gives a reason why they should bring back Hayden for episode 8 and 9 as a force ghost

[@Batman1989King]

1. Star Wars 2. The Empire Strikes Back 3. Return of the Jedi 4. The Phantom Menace 5. Revenge of the Sith 6. Attack of the Clones

[@savagenature1]

Personally I feel like one of Lucas' greatest mistakes was having Anakin Skywalker kill children. The whole sequence and scenes of Vader approaching the Temple with the troops and everything were done really well however when it comes to redeeming a character there is a line where there are certain bad things they should not do. Before the prequels I was with everyone else in seeing Darth Vader as redeemed. However Killing Children in the prequels (he does it in both 2 & 3) made Darth Vader in my eyes an unforgivable villain.

[@CreatorsOfCataclysm]

He also killed thousands of people in between 3 and 4 lol whether they were men, women, or children

[@savagenature1]

Well there you go.

[@popo0129]

savagenature1 I would of rather the clones killed the kids. I mean we have to believe Anakin has some good in him left like Padme said in ep 3 but, I kind of didn't see it at all. To me, after nearly killing his wife which he tried to save by kiling all the jedi and separtists, and killing kids plus siding with Sidous after he chopped of Mace Windu's hand and letting him die, I didn't really see any good in him at all. In ep 6 I saw it more because, well he has a kid and that is the one big thing that Padme left in the world, and what they both had together was luke and leia so, I did end up seeing good in him then. I think he eventually had some good in him once luke came around but before that, fuck no lol

[@CreatorsOfCataclysm]

popo129 yes, the appearance of a son and daughter gave his life more meaning

[@popo0129]

Creators of Cataclysm So your saying he was emo or gothic until they came :p

[@BanesBasement]

***** I think Luke was turned away from the dark side by his own actions, not the Emperor's words. When he chopped off Vader's hand, he looks at his own prosthetic hand and realized what he had done. He was becoming Vader. And I also think the scene where he checks his hand and grips it while looking at Vader solidified his belief that there was good in Vader: he saw the similarities between them in that moment. The Emperor was just tossing words out the Sith dictionary for extra effect.

[@nicole.z.624]

I love Luke's reactions when Vader's taunting him when he's hiding in the dark. He's super worried and concerned about his friends and about Leia. I always get goosebumps when I watch that part. :)

[@ravagetime]

I have never minded the Ewoks. They were originally going to have them be Wookies but that would have looked like the Star Wars holiday special was wedging its way into the final chapter. I would have gotten tired of all that growling. I think it's cool how they took on the empire with sticks and stones, sticks and stones! Not CGI.

The firs 30 minutes of the movie, along with the ending are 2 of my favorite star wars moments. The whole Jabba's palace sequence (minus the dance number) is amazing, especially once Luke comes in as a now epic Jedi. Then, there's the RANCOR, the best star wars creature in star wars bar-none. The whole rescue is just awesome to me, and has been since I was a kid. Also, the best moment in the trilogies to me isn't the "I am your father" scene, but Vader's Redemption, again minus the stupid blu-ray changes, but even with it the scene is still absolutely amazing b/c of the redemption. Anyway, ROTJ is my favorite despite flaws b/c as a whole it's just soooo good, and its one of my favorite movies of all time. I know plenty of people would criticize and rave about ESB which I also love, along with the original star wars, but this is the one. Star wars wars goes from 1-6 in terms of worst to best imo.

[@thegoodthebadandthesandman7340]

6. Attack Of The Clones 5. The Phantom Menace 4. Revenge Of The Sith 3. Return Of The Jedi 2. Star Wars 1. The Empire Strikes Back

[@leepicciotto]

It's often overlooked but I like that vadar ultimately fulfilled his destiny/the prophecy when he destroyed the emperor.

[@teacake_94]

I don't like the way the Star Wars skips so much stuff in between movies. Luke's a badass Jedi now! .....well, that would have been nice to have seen.

[@TheCountofToulouse]

You never mentioned the space battles, which I think are great, some of the best action and acting in any of the films. The scene when they attack the death star and the Falcon goes in is just great. I wish they'd done more space battle stuff, really.

[@Pattriot303]

When Leia says, that she rememberd her mother...maybe she talks about her stepmother. Because she was adopted and maybe her stepmother died, when she was little.

[@dylankaiser5546]

i think luke asked her about her real mother but maybe she didn't knew she wasn't born on alderaan

[@biskuti81]

Order of Star Wars movies from best to worst (my opinion remember) 1. Star Wars (A New Hope) 2. The Empire Strikes Back 3. Return of the Jedi 4. Revenge of the Sith 5. The Phantom Menace 6. Attack of the Clones

[@Oz1976]

1. Empire Strikes Back 2. Revenge of the Sith 3. Return of the Jedi 4. Star Wars 5. Attack of the Clones 6. The Phantom Menace I'm a Sith at heart obviously.

[@biskuti81]

hmm interesting list. i change my list: switch revenge and return

[@SuperNovaJinckUFO]

Seriously, what the hell's wrong with Attack of the Clones?

[@SuperNovaJinckUFO]

And not what's covered in the RedLetterMedia review.

[@blinkblank9945]

SuperNovaJinckUFO Is this guy serious?

[@Fear605]

"Let's all just hang out, have a BBQ and sing the yub yub song." Freaking awesome line!

[@Deltasquad382943]

The Ewoks should've been Wookies.

[@carealoo744]

Looked down to read this after he said that!

[@llshmoolj7744]

I think Vader and Luke's conversation on Endor is my favorite part of the movie. Luke tries to convince Vader that he can still break away from the Emperor, but Vader says that it's too late for him. He doesn't say that he likes being a Sith. He doesn't say that he has a choice. He knows that he's become a villain, but doesn't think he's strong enough to change himself. I feel like that really humanized Vader, and gave his character true depth. What's better, is that it's the first time he calls Luke "son." When Luke says that "his father truly is dead", you can tell that it hurts both of them. The scene ends with Vader, staring out the window in solemn contemplation. It really helped to set up the final act in the Emperor's throne room, and it's just a great and powerful scene.

[@BlargeMan]

The Ewoks were originally supposed to be wookies...but Lucas said that they couldn't make that many wookie suits because of budget concerns

[@Oz1976]

You're wrong about the Ewoks Jeremy. Get the special edition blue ray set, he talks about the creation of the Ewoks. Endor originally was going to be the home of the Wookies, but due to the popularity of Chewbacca and how he developed as a character who was technologically proficient, he had to come up with another race to use that was primitive to maintain the over-arching theme of the movies that the technologically superior can be undone by the underdog.

[@iwillkillyouhehehehe]

That might be true, but the whole thing could have been handled better. It just made the stormtroopers look completely useless.

[@LordVader1094]

Sgt. Rex Power Colt Yeah. No matter what anyone says that was NOT the 501st on Endor!

[@matthewmspace]

Don't know if you'll see this, but there's a great version of the Star Wars movies out there called the "Despecialized Edition." It's made by a bunch of fans to combine all the good new special effects (better looking lightning, not the Anakin replacement) with the original theatrical version. Do some Google searches and watch the original trilogy in its original form.

[@JonathanLuke98]

10 years later jermery would be happy that bobba is indeed alive

[@HejaWolf]

I agree with Jeremy on the best part being Luke confronting Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. I never get tired of seeing that scene.

[@ikesteroma]

The best thing to happen to Star Wars since the release of the original release of Return of the Jedi is for the franchise to be taken OUT of the hands of Lucas.

[@mungus5273]

Ike Evans that’s what you thought

[@AnthonyA0424]

If the shield generator was a trap, why would it be the real shield generator protecting the Death Star?

[@ThatOneNamekian]

You know why I really loved the Ewoks? Even though it's rumored that Lucas put them in the film just so he could sell more merchandise, they did play a cool part in the movie. They were the only race that looked so cute and cuddly, yet were still somehow deadly. I liked seeing that. It showed that not every deadly creature in the galaxy had to look big, mean and strong. Sometimes it's the ones you least expect that end up trying to kill. Or help fight alongside you.

[@justinmartin4570]

the best part about the special edition for jedi for me is the music at the end. it felt alot more epic than the yub yub song. felt more gratifying.

[@taylorwinkler5260]

Thank God Disney took Star Wars away from Lucas

[@joeymartinez1866]

Matthew Brant Disney is exactly what Star Wars needed.

[@qotsawhiskey86]

Yeah...seeing him as an older Anakin Skywalker totally makes sense. It makes the viewer realize that when he killed the Emperor in order to save his son, he redeems himself and dies being right with the force...turning away from the dark side. Showing young Anakin just confuses people. Like they're trying to make a reference to when he was good ages ago? Wtf?

[@M1nd_Fl4y3r]

Kick-ass Palpy impression there, Jeremy

[@hiccupjames6154]

I hate what the Ewoks stand for, but I do love them just because they make me feel good about that movie. That last party with the Yub Nub song made me happy, partly because of those Ewoks man. And when that one died and his buddy tried telling him to get up and he stayed down... Sad shit.

[@FJAR1635]

Return of the Jedi is my favorite in the saga. It was just really fun!

[@josephl.4142]

Yo jeremy i am gonna be 15 soon and i and i just wanted to point out to you and all the starwars fans out there that I LOVE THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY even though i saw the prequals first

[@philipmarsh2172]

The scene where Vader is conflicted over the Emperor frying Luke is the best acting by a man in an immobile mask EVER.

[@jurrell1986]

something something dark side, something something dark side.

[@andyfox8377]

No mention of the greatest space battle of all time!

[@Harusame_kon]

Hi, Jeremy! Just finished watching all your Lord of the Ring and Star Wars reviews for like... the 7th time since you posted them. They're like a good movie you have at home and like to rewatch from time to time! Thank you for the vids and keep up the great work! PS: Love your personifications! d^_^b

[@maxwinters6458]

My favorite part of Return of the Jedi has always been when Lando outruns the explosion in the Death Star. It's just so tense, but the you always feel so good when he makes it out and he lets out that "Yeee-ha!!"

[@leo.oliveira.trailers]

Best moment in the movie. When Vader threatens to take Leia to the Dark Side and Luke just snaps.

[@ValpasKankaristo]

Luke facing Vader in this movie is one of the best scenes in all Star Wars movies...

[@andrewpatterson4976]

I know this isn't the strongest one in the series, but it's still my personal favorite. :) The music is gripping, the characters and dialogue are memorable, the effects are great, and it arguably has some of the best and worst deaths in movie history. My favorite parts are Jabba's Palace, Yoda's death, the fight between Darth Vader and Luke and the aftermath. But the best part is when the Ewoks are celebrating to the Victory Celebration/Yub Nub, and you get to see all the other planets celebrating, while everyone's dancing and celebrating, and Luke hangs back and sees Obi-Wan and Yoda's ghost, and all of the sudden Anakin (Sebastian Shaw/Hayden Christensen) appears, and you feel happy and sad at the same time, because you've reached the end of the best movie trilogy of all time. Thank you, Jeremy, because you've helped me come out of my shell critically and say what I want to about movies. Oh, by the way, Revenge of the Sith is #2.

[@andrewpatterson4976]

Thanks, that really means a lot to me

[@MaaZeus]

Return of the Jedi is also my favourite. Yes I hate the Ewoks with passion and they were the first sign Lucas was slowly turning insane but that is pretty much the only complaint I have (not counting the special edition garbage). Even after 20 years when I first saw the movie the final confrontation with Vader, Luke and Palpatine keeps giving me goosebumps. The music, dialog and just the general atmosphere is insanely good. No movie since have had the same effect on me.

[@StanleyFallsNoah]

I watched this with my ewok teddy bear in hand......

[@joeschmoe3665]

Agree with you buddy if you've grown up with star wars (The Originals) you loved,them but mostly for the effects, the action and fucking lightsabers man !! But the greatness of Star Wars and the epicness lies in the story about good and evil, it contains everything that gets people emotionally invested in anything: friendship, sacrifice, struggle, temptation of evil and the power of forgiveness and reconciliation in the end.

[@matthewmetz3610]

Fun fact: the ewoks only exist cos George Lucas didn't have the budget for wookies. Originally it was gonna be wookies

[@gutz1981]

Who is to say once the original Death Star was destroyed, this one was built to replace that? Perhaps shortly after contraction of the first Death Star started, their was more being built and they prioritized to get number 1 finished to deal with the growing threat of the rebellion. Then put their efforts into finishing the other(s)?

[@MechaSandvich]

I will be honest......I........am..........The guy who actually likes the ewoks.

[@sebgomez2688]

Same these guys are some fierce sons of bitches who eat there enemies and put there heads on wooden sticks and use there helmets as food bowls etc

[@theconnor8900]

Your comment and your avatar fits perfectly!

[@thejanglingman4]

This is my favorite star wars movie out of the series even if the other ones where almost perfect (i also think that they removed the noooooo dialogue in the blu ray version)

[@iFACEPLANTalot1]

I kinda like the ewoks, I just found it entertaining and silly, I love when a serious movie just goes in that direction for a few minutes.

[@sycoclips8228]

The noise you made when you were talking about the furry thing with a wield mouth who was with Jabba The Hut? Couldn't even contain my laughter

[@franckbass]

great review ! Concerning Ewoks...well : yes, it's a bit child-ish, and obviously made for merchandising BUT it will always be a thousand times better than f****** gungans in episode 1 anyway ! (and all useless cgi creatures from prequels)...it's also the only Star Wars i remember seeing on a big screen, so, nostalgia you know :) great review !

[@q.d.cproductions2221]

franck hermanny I agree fuk jar jar and his people I wish they died in episode 1 that would have been great

[@mikomikomiko3947]

Finally, I don't care what anyone says I liked Luke Skywalker he's also my favorite character.

[@charlietheanteater3918]

Episode 1: c - ( it had a few creative designs and awesome music but overall a bad flim) Episode 2: b- ( I liked obi WANs story with chasing down jango fett and geonsins, but the love dialogue sucks and Haden cristain is really bad In this) Episode 3 B+ (good but the dilouge still sucks and it has a lot of creative planets and Ian mcdreamind is the best actor in this movie) Episode 4 A+ (do I even have to explain why is good?) Episode 5 A++ (again do I even have to explain) Episode 6 A+ (do I have to explain)

[@issacflores2010]

Good

[@charlietheanteater3918]

I didn't consider the oringal triogly boring I gave them all an A

[@pauljohnsonii950]

Charlie Theanteater the story is good but other than that nothing really happens.

[@charlietheanteater3918]

I respect your opinion but a lot happens in episodes 4-6

[@pauljohnsonii950]

Charlie Theanteater not much happens, the few things that do happen are important however.

[@larrygarcia6356]

My favorite scene is not when Luke snaps after being pushed by Vader, but Vader reacting quickly when he turns his head.

[@oranginator]

Aww man sorry, you're right, should've won an oscar bro, soo amazing

[@noobbotgaming2173]

+SmytheSmythe Return, really. Take your nostalgia goggles off. It's insulting to the originals with a terrible/goofy beginning and it never has any high points. The ewoks and the final lightsaber duel suck. It has much better choreography and energy than the previous ones but it's way too short. There are great moments though such as the conversations with Luke and Darth Vader. What a shame. Menace: 7/10 I like it. Jar Jar sucks but he can't bog down the movie. It has one of the best duels ever. Clones: 5/10 Boring romance nice try GL Sith 10/10 my favourite SW movie. Best opening with an amazing space battle with great camera work and you really felt you were there. Best lightsaber duel. And Palpatine is wonderfully played and you buy into his character completely. SW: 7/10 first SW movie so it's understandable it's not that watchable. Best SW ending ever Empire: 8/10 good movie but the ending kinda sux Jedi: 4/10 Force: 7/10 A New Hope 2.0. Also has outdated camera work that even LOTR had back in the early 2000s with long panning camera shots.

[@nathanielpellikkaerlandsso9525]

[@led_tower]

Nates Moviereviews I guess. The original trilogy didn't have like a way for the jedis to fight, like ninjas fight but the prequels had too much of it.

[@nathanielpellikkaerlandsso9525]

Red Key True, but i want them to be better in the new trilogi than in the original. Because Luke are just hacking and slashing without any skill and when you have the force you should be able to let it control you.

[@BoilingHotCoffee]

Red Key I don't mind those faster paced lightsaber battles, as long as they don't looked too choreographed... like that one from the last battle in episode 3, when Anakin and Obi-wan are just spinning the lightsabers around their bodies, when one of them could just easily take a stab at the other and end the fight
