Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Commentary - Collider Video

[@roninglx]

love watching Harloff and Ellis friendly banter and Shnepp is like their older brother, great team

[@ricogreenberg]

R.I.P. Jon Schnepp. Miss you big guy.

[@Juveenyle]

Why are the other videos monetized half of them were copy strikes by Lucas film people really enjoy these and getting to watch Jon Schnepp hilarious reaction is amazing and the other guys as well why don’t you guys stop trying making money off of them and ask Lucas film to lift the strike smh if not can you please point me in the direction I can go watch them all

[@jyoundt8345]

"He was married, you fucking weirdos." ~Schnepp. That's fucking hysterical.

[@TheGreatMerman]

This is funny to listen to even without watching the movie. Just hearing the movie just enough on screen to know what's going on makes it easy enough to follow along. You guys are awesome. Can't wait for Man of Steel Commentary.

[@migoabuel27]

I can't wait to see the Force Awakens commentary especially to see Mark's part

[@colin4758]

Yes

[@WeThePeople_76]

Hell yeah

[@MsLm97]

+MigoTheGamer tell that to Kanjiklub!!!

[@granddaddy_funk]

MigoTheGamer dissapointed?

[@migoabuel27]

yes

[@senpaigarr]

Just re watched this. Man I miss Schnepp. Those were the days.

[@nolanfonseca6914]

Forreal dude. Watched these guys every day back when it was “peak collider”

[@MrBlackychan305]

Hello to who ever runs this channel. Thank you for keeping these up I miss schnepp all the time and love coming back to these old commentary’s . Is there any chance you can make revenge of the sith public again. Thank you

[@theprofessor5592]

I agree with Harloff Empire is a PERFECT MOVIE and also in my opinion the best Sequel ever!!!

[@theprofessor5592]

You mean it is thank you have a nice day

[@dtevol]

The mix of humor during the most intense moments in the final act is why The Empire Strikes Back still resonates for me. My favorite movie, ever!!!!

[@nrs10001]

The Indiana Jones movies would be great to see you guys watch. Watching the star wars movies with these commentaries shows me star wars in a new way or informs me on something I didn't know about the movies. It would be fun to do the same with Indiana Jones.

[@Tylermike75]

The scene with Luke's head in Darth Vader's mask isn't necessarily a hint that Vader is Luke's father. It could be interpreted as that, but I'm almost completely certain that it is a symbolic lesson from Yoda. If he were to strike down Vader in anger and hate, he would fall to the dark side and become just as bad as Vader (or literally the new Vader by the Emperor's side, because that is exactly what he wanted Luke to do in Jedi). It's kind of like Yoda is telling him that he is no better than Vader if he were to do that.

[@Xesthan]

+Tylermike75 I also like the symbolism of when Luke gets his new hand. He's makes him more like his father. When it gets shot in ROTJ, he covers it up with a black glove. In the entirety of ROTJ we can see Luke getting closer and closer to the dark side until he ultimately rejects it. This is one of the reasons why I like rewatching these. You notice something new every time.

[@eval7952]

Xesthan I used to think Vader deliberately exchanged his body parts for robot parts because being a robot is more efficient, bionic arms and all like robocop. Ben kenobi also makes a comment Vader is hardly human now.

[@Joelbaileysmith]

there are moments in this where y'all are so enthralled and still that I have to check and see if my phone has lost signal. it's how I imagine I look when I watch Empire. motionless.

[@nvrules27]

Yep! The look frozen

[@nvrules27]

+nvrules27 *they

[@BoilingKoolaid]

I love these commentaries so much! I see the first six movies a few times each year, and I saw TFA 4 times already. I am watching this commentary at work without playing the movie with it. I still know exactly what is on the screen while you guys are talking!

[@grayden4138]

When Ben tells Yoda, "Was I any different when you taught me?", he meant when he was a youngling considering the context of the conversation at that moment was about Luke being taught the basics of the force. I don't think it was a canon problem since Yoda taught all younglings before they became Padawans.

[@earlchatterton9133]

I saw Empire when it originally came out. I was 6 years old and it's one of my oldest memories. Never forget how the audience just started cheering as soon as the title came onscreen. Made a huge impact on me at that age. Still have some of the cardboard photos from the film they were selling in the lobby too.

[@WeThePeople_76]

Hell yeah the empire strikes back is not only the best star wars movie but it's one of the best movie's ever.

[@BearIslandComics]

Man...Schnepp was the best of us. What a legend. What a loss. Rest In Peace.

[@chriscossin]

My rule of thumb is if it happened one way in the film first, and then in canon they explained it differently, I stick to what happened in the film. Miss Schnepp #RIP

[@theburningside9733]

please do the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings Extended Editions!

[@TopCheeseBarDown]

Oh wow yeah the LOTR movies would be awesome.

[@Melchiorblade7]

+The Burning Side Yess, would be the best

[@furrywallsps5926]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSS!

[@lemon7979]

but JOHNNNNNNNN Where is Campea?

[@ColliderLadiesNight]

+Liam “PsychyLiam” Wilson Keep watching ;-)

[@lemon7979]

+ColliderVideos Ok you got me :P

[@garrettstefanko96]

No John is the best

[@castertroy6347]

+Liam “PsychyLiam” Wilson He was in the bathroom that whole time

[@Vyngraven]

+Liam “PsychyLiam” Wilson 1:20:14

[@thefilmeffect6089]

My single favorite film of all time!

[@rjnldj97]

Ellis' comments are hysterical. LMAO! Harloff "Yoda must smell like an alley cat"

[@thebendu33]

Damn! Schnepp was such a cool guy.

[@Afineaddition]

MoS commentary after Return of the Jedi and Force Awakens?

[@PrettyGoodSamuel]

Well now we know the Schmoes were right about Han and Leia

[@MrCrapheadist]

Right? I guess their chemistry was genuine

[@ryanisjaminup]

I would absolutely love you guys if you do commentaries on the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy

[@juliangarcia5598]

Finally, I was waiting for Empire Commentary since they started the prequels. Easily my favorite film of all time.

[@scottkollar9593]

John Williams has been scoring movies since 1958. Think about that!

[@raffdwyer8490]

Huge fan! Absolutely Love everything you guys do. I was brought up on star wars. But..... I've always thought this watching Jedi Council and this video is the best example of it. Don't let the weakest link join the crew over half way through (the best star wars movie of all time) a video. John Campea, i absolutely respect how switched on you are,, but im not a big fan. Cannot fault any of the other members. I know of this channel through schmoes knows. GET DASH STAR ON MORE OFTEN!!!!! But John Campea.... I'll tolerate you, its hard work, but i'll do it, provided you're there from the start. Rocking up over half way through made me want to shut down my browser. You should be thankful I was watching commentary of one of the greatest movies ever made. Big ups to the schmoes knows and old mate Schnepp. Sorry I had to rant, but I blame John Campea. You guys fucking rock! But John is the weakest link. Goodbye!

[@absalomcrane131]

I would love to see commentaries for the Lord of the Rings movies as well as for Dune (the David Lynch film).

[@NickMichalak]

I'm rather surprised at Campea not realizing for the last 12 years that Boba Fett's voice has been replaced. Also, that belief Han was wearing a jacket or vest in the carbon freezing chamber has been debunked for just as long. In the Empire of Dreams documentary the behind the scenes footage showed that a shadow from the lighting setup was cast on Ford's shoulders causing that illusion on film. They chose to change it to alleviate the issue of the lighting continuity from shot to shot not properly matching.

[@TheGuyderman]

Not just my favourite Star Wars movie but my Personal Favourite movie of all time!

[@donnyst.pierre3820]

same here

[@philipfry352]

I know I'm super late to the party because I refuse to own the special additions so had to wait till they were on tv, so no one will probably see this...but the Rebel symbol is Galen Marek's family crest. Galen was Vader's apprentice, and when the Emperor tasked Vader with finding all the leaders of the different rebellions (because they weren't allied yet, it was just different rebellions throughout the galaxy) Galen brought them all together under the guise of uniting them, then they were all arrested. Somehow after, Galen was convinced of the evil intentions of the Empire and helped the rescue of the leaders by fighting Vader to distract him while they were being rescued. He was killed by Vader and the newly formed Rebel Alliance chose to use his family crest as their symbol in order to honor him. Super cool story.

[@tomperdue3580]

Ellis had me cracking up throughout the whole thing. Great review guys. I never really appreciated the scenery of Empire until you all mentioned it. Adds to an already awesome film. Keep up the great review commentary!

[@carelesswhispersasmr]

Them: *chat chat chat chat* Me: SHUT UP SO I CAN HEAR WHERE YOU'RE AT AND SYNC IT UP

[@L1LT4T3R]

ikr lok

[@shaunlester7429]

Thank you so much for committing to this guys, especially considering that you're all incredibly busy at the moment. Ignore the haters as most of us are very appreciative of these commentaries and other recent additions to the Collider channel, such as the trailer reactions. Can’t wait for the Schmoes Know show to make its long-awaited return!

[@iam3mondoot]

I watched all the originals in the theatre . empire was the 1st video I ever rented and watched it 3 times in a row . best film ever made .

[@ognastyjash832]

1:54:00 Check out Campea's reaction to Kristian lol

[@WackySwackyAdventure]

It'd be awesome if you guys did commentaries on the Indiana Jones trilogy.

[@jasoncreedfilms]

When I heard of the post-Campea Collider, I was sold immediately when you mentioned that you will have more movie commentaries. For me, that's the big deal.

[@oooSKYLIGHTooo]

Watch when Luke tries to lift the X-Wing again. Yoda isn't just watching Luke fail. When he closes his eyes he's sensing what is stopping Luke from succeeding. He knows exactly what Luke is capable of. Yoda was litterally movie magic. An awesome character written, voiced and performed to perfection. Go back and see the behind the scenes of filming and you will understand how amazing that is considering the problems they had during the filming on the Dagobah set.

[@theresamonroe1651]

FUCKING FINALY !!!!! Thank god I've been looking forward to this. My son just died and now I no longer care 👼

[@alrightagain4605]

What

[@thesonofsuns2154]

That's pretty fucked up.

[@PJVids83]

+Theresa Monroe LOL

[@beduffrangerz2]

+Zero Cool bravo

[@abeschreier]

+Theresa Monroe This commentary was a bigger disappointment then your son.

[@ibiz617]

Mark and Kristian called the Fisher and Ford affair hahaha

[@giovannycanas1208]

Man of Steel commentary before BvS!!!

[@vcr1232]

Please do Man of Steel before BvS comes out!

[@VooDooChild6971]

The KZbin video I've been waiting for

[@dimejinky99]

watching empire again on a saturday night with the collider lads :) sure what else would i be doin?? lets go!

[@BLSDOOMCREW]

47:22 Ellis you were right carrie admitted a affair with ford just recently

[@Nick94956]

It's a testament to how amazing Empire Strikes Back is that even the Special Edition changes are good.

[@imjeffreyrex8537]

Great to see you're finishing the Star Wars commentaries! Would like to see a The King of Comedy or Taxi Driver commentary in the future. A Winter Soldier commentary prior to the release of Civil War would make a lot of sense too.

[@liamarnold2452]

I dare you guys to do the Christmas special.

[@tha1edge]

yes!! I nominate the Christmas Special also..

[@Mike-fc7ut]

+DannyDankTv CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!!

[@tha1edge]

+james Cole true, but I would love to hear the guys rip it apart.. wouldn't you?

[@johnnyherman4657]

I love you guys. I also love all the fans:) Star Wars makes me happy.

[@thefilmeffect6089]

FINALLY, Collider has put up THE COMMENTARY!

[@5925-p1b]

The Empire Strikes Back introduced us to the best character in film history. Its score is the best of all time, it contains several of the best scenes ever created, has one of the best movie duels and ends with arguably one of the biggest twists in movie history.

[@Thunderer0872]

I didn't know CP3O had a silver leg either, until I saw a model in Forbidden Planet shop. and I saw these films in the cinema.. I'm 46 in October and I missed that too all these years!

[@jasoncreedfilms]

If Campea is available to be in Heroes and other Collider shows, it would be great to have the 4 of you on commentaries. It's only 2x a month, right? Thoughts?

[@geesterfunk]

once again great vid lads... good to share these films together, looking forward to more... stay frosty

[@Psychoclaw]

"I watch the Golden Girls and wonder if any those girls ever made out" Oh Mark, never change.

[@jedibusiness66]

"I'm not really interested in your opinion, Threepio." lmao I love the dialogue in this movie.

[@edashton8003]

lol love the Darrel Green comment! Mark's fascination of snakes, and Leia getting some loving... curious

[@greyjackal]

And then a wild Campea appeared

[@JustWandering]

About 1:27:40.... Leia is literally proven to be Force-sensitive with the whole - 'Luke wasn't on the Death Star. I could feel it.' - thing, plus being able to hear him through their mental connection. So... it's obviously her....

[@hewamamyounis6096]

Damn im so happy that John Campea eventually came but i really hope that he is gonna be there through the whole thing with return of the jedi and the force awakens

[@tapramen30]

Thanks for making this commentary. Your comments were perfect! And yes, Harrison Ford was crushing it all day long. lol

[@blueroninstudios]

Holy SITH you guys have a nice office setup over there at Collider! I wanna sit on the couch and geek out with y'all, too now! Pass the popcorn, sweaties!

[@Wimplo86]

Technically, Luke's call sign was not "Rogue One" but "Rogue Leader" (listen to Wedge's dialogue), so it is possible with Mark's theory of the "Rogue One" call sign being retired.

[@andylikesstuffchannel]

I'm watching this again for the God knows how many times always go back to it great times 💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@LanaStanczak]

This honestly made my day.

[@jimideth]

Yes all that stuff from “ prepare the star destroyer “ to that scene they filmed from ROTJ is added. Also yes I’m glad they took Luke’s scream out as well

[@AcbLynn132]

Love watchin the alpha male dynamic change in the room from Kristian to Campea and how Schnepp then perks up when Campea brings more order to the room. Love watching the dynamic of the group.

[@GrimmjawJack]

Blade Runner - I want to see Schnepp convincing Campea that this is a masterpiece.

[@slyaspie4934]

love these good times keep em coming

[@ChironBroderick]

"Honey I moved 2 inches today..." Hahaha

[@katevand]

Watched this today I'm sick as a dog. I miss you Schnepp

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

As for "replaced Emperor", I like the first replacement, which keeps the original dialogue except he says "Young Skywalker". That's the one version that DOESN'T raise the question, "Wait...Vader KNOWS Luke's name."

[@ashleysymons399]

Commentary for Man Of Steel (for Batman v Superman), other films that would be cool: Lord of the rings trilogy Harry Potter American Psycho Ghostbusters Taxi Driver Iron Man Fast & Furious 1-7 The Disney live action remakes (Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent & Cinderella) Pulp Fiction Kill Bill Saw Se7en Dark Knight Trilogy Some of the Universal Monsters films from the 30s? Superman Rocky Alien Die Hard Braveheart :)

[@RichboyJhae]

Mark's face when Kristian says Luke getting his hand cut off wouldn't hurt, lmao

[@StarWarsCommunitys]

I never thought the day would come ! Good stuff !

[@Chrisbeck34]

That is funny you said that Mark, Do or do not their is no try was my senior quote!

[@TheAlex9233]

I did a Star Wars trivia night late last year, and one of only a few questions I got wrong (the others were about the opening crawls) was "Who is the first person in the movies to use the phrase 'It's a trap!'" completely blanked on Leia saying it in this!

[@kpag3030]

"Luminous beings, are we.... ...not this crude matter". Love that Yoda line. That is the true essence of the force and the TRUE philosophic foundation of the Jedi. This, in my opinion was butchered in phantom menace.

[@72missdanielle]

hey guys, the probe droid voice is actually a sample from THX118:4EB the original student film George Lucas made before he remade it with Robert duvall. You can actually hear it very quickly in Empire of dreams when thery show clips from the original student film. ciao . xx

[@redhawking]

Hey Schmoes! Boba Fett's voice was originally done by Jason Wingreen. Also, The Imperial officer who shoves Leia around the corner when she's trying to warn Luke about the trap was played by Jeremy Bulloch.

[@mattmorales4320]

I absolutely cannot wait for your commentary on "The Room."

[@J_Michaels]

LOVE THE COMMENTARIES!!!

[@KnicksBasketball96]

I love this commentary so much

[@Dontuween]

"Nothing to do with claymation", Jon Schnepp. Jon, Ray Harryhausen would have given you a big THANK YOU!

[@arubial1229]

Pretty cool I have met some of the guys in the movie at Pensacon. Julian Glover (Veers), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba), Billy Dee Williams (Lando), Deep Roy (Yoda full body shots), and John Schnepp!

[@arubial1229]

Forgot about John Morton (Dak) Clive Revell (Emperor) too. Damn I've met half the entire cast and 1/3rd of the commentary.

[@dan95c]

Kristian with the game of thrones theme at the brother/sister kiss. Perfect

[@rock1er]

Great job guys!!! Would love if you did commentary videos for the back to the future trilogy in the near future!!!

[@kpag3030]

Han Solo's jacket when he goes out to look for Luke is the same jacket he has in the snow in Force Awakens.

[@lnsullivan422]

Not only is this the greatest Star Wars film IMO, this is the greatest film ever made IMO.

[@wolfieg4]

"Moving these little star dogs around" hahahahaha😂

[@johnnybone86]

Best commentary yet! Thanks.

[@johnnybone86]

+Robbin Nilsson until campea showed up...

[@alexl.4362]

Where are the prequel commentary

[@trashboat5544]

1. Empire strikes back 2. A new hope 3. Return of the jedi 4. The force awakens 5. Rogue one 6. Revenge of the sith 7. Phantom menace 8. Attack of the clones

[@darthwatson8274]

trash boat Where would you put The Last Jedi and Solo?

[@coleinone5959]

We need a commentary of the Holiday Special!!!!

[@IkeThe9th]

25:45 They didn't catch it, but few people catch the field promotion. Vader says Captain Piett, then says, "You are in command now, Admiral Piett."

[@joshuagordon5018]

I'd say the best directed and executed Satar wars film to me, but also my 4th fav. Still love it tho. And great commentary!
