STAR WARS: RETURN OF JEDI Clip - "Speeder Chase on Endor" (1983) Sci-Fi

[@marshroanoke]

You know what’s blowing my mind is the absence of a score. The sound effects are the soundtrack

What’s blowing my mind more is that JJ Abrams made the same decision for the Death Star wreckage duel and yet got hate because he didn’t add a score to the duel….

I can only imagine what it was like watching this in the theater in 1983. My Dad told me stories as to how the crowd was going absolute apeshit throughout the movie during the intense battle scenes. That had to have been one of the best human experiences ever!

[@Uzbug]

It was mind blowing to watch. And when ever I've gone for a walk in a park or forest track with family, this scene ALWAYS comes up.

[@lockonstratos31]

I got to experience it when they re released Return Of The Jedi for its 40th anniversary.

I was 10 years old when this was released. Mind blowing then. Got to see it on the big screen again this month. As awesome an experience now as then.

I still remember watching this and being glued to the back of my seat fighting the g forces. And when Vader threw the emperor down the reactor shaft the theatre went utterly insane.

[@Falloutrxcky]

Fun Fact: While Production was filming this scene, George Lucas told Peter Mayhew (the actor inside the Chewbacca costume) to not leave the set. So hunters wont kill him by mistaking him as big foot.

[@fox2mike28]

I love how while Luke Skywalker (at least the classic incarnation seen here) is courageous and badass, he is never without humanizing moments. Even when he does something heroic, such as successfully hitting the exhaust port with proton torpedoes or slicing off the steering vanes of the attacking speeder bike with his lightsaber, he tends to breathe a huge sigh of relief afterwards. That humanization, in concert with his strength as a Jedi, makes him so appealing.

[@RD-zx6py]

Well considering he'd just killed a million people when he blew up the deathstar I'd say that was pretty natural. The pilots who dropped bombs on Hiroshima were said to have been pretty scarred by it rather than whooping with joy.

[@japetox]

@@RD-zx6py copiummmmmmmmmmm

[@japetox]

@@RD-zx6py the deathstar was that, a DEATHSTAR a weapon made to destroy planets. Not comparable with hiroshima where a bomb was dropped over a city. Deathstar was a military base/weapon, like destroying an aircraftcarrier with a weapon which destroys planets. Two BILLION people were killed at alderaan. Innocent civilians. Be smart when making comparisons. Instead of repeating the bs.

[@RD-zx6py]

​@@japetox I'm comparing taking hundreds of thousands of lives in a second. Not claiming Hiroshima was a deathdealing super weapon. No need for a further response from you as you've already clowned yourself here trying to be a smart alec and totally missing the mark. Five bucks says you try to play some silly semantics game here rather than admit that and keep it moving.

[@japetox]

@@RD-zx6py You are comparing killing civilians in a city vs killing military personal in a massive planet killing weapon military base. "The pilots who dropped bombs on Hiroshima were said to have been pretty scarred by it rather than whooping with joy" No scars or remorse by killing filthy dark side militars which killed 2 billion innocent civilians living in a planet and were about to destroy a moon with more people on it.

[@sarcasticguy4311]

I'll never grow tired of watching Luke deflect blaster shots from the bike. They even did the pyrotechnics to bounce them in to the trees and make the trunks explode. I always wondered if Luke intentionally sliced off the control vanes or if he was aiming for the Trooper and missed. Either way he was going to cut the bike in half.

[@TroublesomeSlateTruck]

2:20-2:21 And 2:22-2:23 Scout Trooper: Huh? AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! (Crashes Into A Tree And Died In Explosion).

[@TheLambdaTeam]

Not sure if he was focusing on a precise target, especially if his target was moving so ultimately fast; he struck, and as long as it was a hit, it was fine.

This scene looks so fun and cool. You know the old trilogy was made by heart and with a big ammount of creativity. You will not forget these scenes because they are so iconic. The newer saga showed some new CGI tricks that were cool and fresh that time, I understand it, because it was all new, some scenes were iconic - especially the lightsaber duels... but man, the newest episodes... some scenes were interesting, but I nearly don´t remember a shit from these. And the story, eh...

[@thecaseclosedpikachufiles]

For me personally. And I might have said this a hand full of times already on other star wars related videos. but Return Of The Jedi is still to date my favorite star wars film out of the original three films. I think that the Ewoks are one of the things that made the film really work out for me and this scene as well witch is the speeder bike chase scene. I mean a lot of what I saw worked out really well and Episode 6 was really enjoyable. And when I heard that episode 6 was the fan boys least favorite film out of the three originals. I was a little bit shocked to say the least and also a little bit disappointed. But ether way who am I to judge?
