Star Wars The Force Awakens {SPOILERS} : Audience Reactions | December 17, 2015

[@nathanmorton7728]

In my theater, when Chewie shot Kyle after he killed Han, someone shouted "YOU GET HIM CHEWIE!"

[@nathanmorton7728]

Kylo*

[@Mwal00]

same here

[@phantasmsa]

Sorry guys, that was me!

[@hellowhat890]

In my theater, I had someone shout, "Fuck that little shit up Chewie!"

[@metalmk6839]

That’s awesome 👏

[@TheGamingGoomba1]

I have to say, opening night of The Force Awakens was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced. That was my first time seeing a Star Wars movie in theaters. I was all the way down in the 3rd row but I didn't care. I was one of those idiots clapping for every single little thing. The snow battle gave me chills all the way through it. Finally, when the end credit music started playing st the end I had one of the most satisfying feelings I've ever felt.

[@floral_bunni1076]

+TB25 Productions You had every word coming out of my mouth right there.

[@jonsampson3030]

Same. With everything you just said.

[@doctorsloth6106]

Exactly, except I was on the second row. XD

[@yourgirlsx]

Snow battle. Chills. I see what you did there.

[@SneakyCustard]

The Film Enthusiast I agree, it was such an amazing moment. It felt like what my mom and aunt told me it was like seeing the very first one, like I was witnessing history. I felt like I was with family for the whole movie :)

[@JoefromNJ1]

was there just silence when han died?

[@AudienceReactions]

Yes, and thank u for asking he right question. Because others just wine abut that part, never ask if it was silent because everyone was shocked.

[@anakin87654]

Was it also silent when Luke turned around?

[@MrMegasFromTheTown]

+Chris Stanley lol Darth Vader Style I would've been like "wtf is that noise?"

[@MrMegasFromTheTown]

***** lol I bet man

[@eekthefireuser3372]

When Snoke said that Han Solo was Kylo's Father, I heard someone in the back row yell "BULLSHIT!"

[@jjsnacks8511]

Getting chills all throughout this video remembering that night in the theater when the movie came out

[@sevtosaze]

Derrick Rose Very little cheering in my theater on second night. At the beginning and then when Han & Chewbacca appeared but at that point people were realizing what a disappointment the movie was shaping up to be. Mostly silence from there on. People openly criticized the film as the credits rolled and spoke of what a let down it turned out to be as they exited the room. You could sense the disappointment as the crowd exited.

[@acatwood11]

4:53 damn, her voice is soothing.

[@matthewlee4834]

aaron atwood I know right. Something about British ladies makes their voices so soothing and seductive

[@mtg_matt_the_gladiator]

Matthew Lee Dang! You’re right.

[@King_Colombia_Inc]

aaron atwood She’s Fucking Taeko Okajima. GOD DAMN RIGHT HER VOICE IS SOOTHING!

[@operationstratos1013]

Rey: "The garbage will do." Me: "GARBAAAAAGEE!!!!" XD

[@Angyali]

Luke: "What a piece of junk!"

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

Such an unoriginal film right?

[@ryanklip24]

Retrovirus what

[@federicoorlandini7587]

I actually can't believe that there isn't an original 1980 "I Am Your Father" audience reaction XD

[@damandelorean]

xD

[@Optimegatrongodzilla]

I would love to hear that!

[@elementengine]

Cameras didn't exist back then

[@dubbeking]

+rise_plague Then how did they film the movie?

[@PrettyGoodSamuel]

That would be amazing to see

[@alexheadley762]

It feels like a sitcom. People laugh at the funny parts and cheer when beloved characters show up

[@AudienceReactions]

Those are real fans

[@natsirt69]

Literally sounds like a sitcom omg

[@CartierRoses]

Tristan Andrew I would've been pissed

[@ryanklip24]

Tristan Andrew it’s 6 minutes out of an hour and a half long movie. I’m sure they weren’t laughing their ass off the whole time.

[@118halospartan]

At my theatre, when Han died, I remember some guy scream-crying "BULLSHIT!" at the top of his lungs.

[@Angyali]

"That's not how the Force works!"

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

Forget the haters. It has its flaws, but TFA is a good movie.

[@CC-ii1sy]

Every movie has flaws. Except maybe Empire Strikes Back.

[@harvestercommander3250]

I agree. The Force Awakens is up there for me.

[@crisrattlehead2573]

It was, but The last jedi surely was a piece of crap

[@lumionesty5045]

It ruins the rest of Star Wars, the sequels are horrible

[@largechips]

I didnt like how lightsabers could only do a scratch and not cut an entire organ off. Other than that it was fine but tlj was ruined by basically having too many jokes.

[@bryanegelhoffsanimationtec257]

Some of the best experiences I've had at the theaters in recent years is going to see these movies with my brother and dad. My dad grew up with the OG trilogy. Me and my bro grew up when the prequels were being made. Even if not everyone likes these newer films, all 3 of us have the time of our lives seeing them together.

[@elmantishrimp1689]

honestly who HASN'T laughed at the BB-8 thumbs up

[@ChristianMaracleOFFICIAL]

+Andrew Rosillo (SirPlatypus06) It indeed was a thumbs up, but it looks more like a middle finger.

[@s1mp4m00n]

5:52 reminded me off when captain america caught thor's hammer in endgame

[@denis7453]

R.I.P CARRIE FISHER MAY THE FORCE BE WITH HER

[@PaulFury02]

the humor in this film was way better than the prequels

[@darthgamer9468]

"I have a bad feeling about this" The most quoted line in star wars ever.

[@fluffytoaster427]

I'm so glad you got the BB-8 thumbs up in there lol

[@TheUnpredictable2020]

fuck we are never going to have a such hyped film ever

[@TooCooFoYou]

All we have to do is wait another 20 or 30 years and reboot the Star Wars franchise with Rey, Poe, and Finn being the wise, old mentors :D

[@iampedro1018]

cesarmanuel51 hell naw

[@SuperMovieLvr933]

Episode 8 will be insane trust me.

[@SuperMovieLvr933]

EsechavaHD Okay fine. You just wait. When they release the title, trailer, Star Wars celebration, etc. everyone will go bananas.

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

It better fucking be original.

[@colonelquack]

Makes me glad audiences are generally not this loud and distracting.

[@sebastianquintero1834]

Yeah these guys sounded like a laugh track

[@shanrimoldi6727]

Mick Quack I'm not sure how to explain it, but it's great. I love total silence when seeing a movie. But I saw Episode VII on opening day at the IMAX in Sydney, and the audience was cheering through the whole movie, and it was great.

[@ticktock2162]

I absolutely loved it. Having everyone in the theatre cheer made it one of the greatest movie-going experiences I have ever had. EDIT: I will never forget the chills I felt when Finn turned on the lightsaber in the snow battle and the whole IMAX cinema shook due to the bass. So dang cool.

[@robert04872]

WTF you talking about? This is what you go to a theatre for.

[@LordTucker]

And Han Solo's death?

[@Leftyslayer7]

That should definitely be there. I remember you could feel the audience's shock in that scene.

[@ThatBrayKidd]

All you would hear is people sniffling.

[@martingenero6328]

Jajaja, te veo en todos lados maestro

[@LordTucker]

Martin Genero xD

[@ЯСмерть-ф5п]

You mean princess Leia?

[@Dynja-kaiR]

When Star Wars becomes a sitcom

[@nicholasnolan2086]

crawlingninjabear ahahahahahahahahaha

[@illaxx8448]

Star Wars The Force Awakens was filmed in a live studio audience..

[@thedarksyde3085]

I gotta be honest I'm kind of disappointed you didn't show their reaction to Han Solo's death

[@AudienceReactions]

Trust me your not the only one

[@thedarksyde3085]

lol yeah because I know when I went the first night there was a guy sitting in front of me soon as it happened he got pissed off threw his popcorn everywhere and left lol I was like damn you knew it was coming eventually

[@AudienceReactions]

The Darksyde Lmao! I was just pissed but quite at the same time.

[@JPQFilms]

The Darksyde that guy needs to chill

[@benmontero5880]

I saw this on the same day & the reactions were similar. I laughed so hard at the BB-8 moment at 2:40, but I think everyone did!

[@PimpMasterT]

That one girl screeching at the top of her lungs was just ridiculous, lol.

[@JMotion]

I'm literally here to relive those first few moments when the theatre fell silent, then roared to life when the title appeared. I've never been in a theatre this hyped before. Australia typically doesn't make much noise during movies.

[@AudienceReactions]

The Death scene and Luke scene didnt show up because no one reacted. Ugh now stop asking like little 9 year old it's already annoying after i posted this smh

[@jaminschmitt]

Or many, like myself, saw it coming. I'm not suggesting I'm an expert at predictions. The film itself threw out warning signs. By the time Han reached Kylo on the bridge all I could think to myself was, "Do it already!" :/

[@sevtosaze]

maxcrazycam03 No, it's because the audience had already realized what a let down of a movie they were seeing was and were at that point only mildly curious. I watched it in the theater on the second night and the audience not only seemed disappointed but I overheard a couple of conversations about how much of a let down it was as people exited the room. People didn't even try to hide their disdain for this Disney disaster. But hey, Rogue 1 was pretty good.

[@AudienceReactions]

Yes...Yes I am ;)

[@nguyeneric4576]

AudienceReactions bitch ass

[@Zero-cu1wr]

AudienceReactions Really? I’m surprised that no one would be screaming their lungs off when Han Solo died.

[@Anaksunamen999]

This is wonderful to see! The audience I sat with didn't have as exciting a reaction as these folks did.

[@dymoure]

It's moments like this when I think: how can anyone not like this movie? The experience was just so special, especially watching it the first time.

[@SpeedyEric1]

With the laughing and applauding, the audience is making The Force Awakens feel like a primetime sitcom.

[@felipejimenez126]

I wish my audience would had been like that

[@jackdonohue7893]

Felipe Jimenez I'm glad it wasn't

[@sakarieklund4305]

Imagine if "Kylo Ren Outtakes" lines would be in this movie:D

[@VeelouC]

people would be falling off their seat from laughing

[@BlazeStar2095]

Specially the part where Kylo Ren is supposed to be interrogating Poe, but ends up torturing him with a Rihanna song instead. XD

[@kinggordoproductions6203]

Watching this for the first time in theaters was an unforgettable, magical experience. I went back to theaters like 4 more times just to watch Force Awakens again and again. Say what you will about the Sequel Trilogy and it's recent negative reputation, but nothing will ever replace this movie in my heart!

[@Zeddyboi86]

One thing I'm kinda amazed that this movie was able to do was that it had a lot of 2015 humor, but it didn't compromise the story. This cannot be said about The Last Jedi.

[@vanillaconk]

I don't mean to sound like a killjoy but honestly I would be pissed off with the constant clapping

[@goktas42]

Ambs Jackson yeah the same for me. Its cool but fastly annoying

[@davidandersson7642]

No way. The Force Awakens screening was a giant party and I loved it.

[@sanabriaadrian]

Ambs Jackson ikr... Laughing, screaming sometimes, gasping, etc., but clapping?..., it's not an opera or play... Idiots.

[@davidandersson7642]

Adrián Sanabria Sanabria Please leave room in your lives for fun and happiness :( The Force Awakens is designed as an event movie.

[@Wild_Bytes]

I find it kind of strange when people clap for something that's already pre made. it's not like a love performance. although I do understand clapping at the beginning and end. For example like at amusement parks people clap and holler after the ride is done. the ride has run a thousand times and no one is there to even clap to, to congratulate them on making a good ride. see what I mean? There's no one there to say to "hey great movie I like what you did".

[@YoungVinny]

5:49 why does that remind me of Captain America wielding Mjolnir😂

[@jamdude13]

I saw it opening night, but it was late so the theater wasn't that lively.. went back the next night with my son to see it again and the theater was hoppin! atmosphere was electric, everyone was cheering and clapping. Glad my son got to see his first star wars movie on the big screen that way

[@seanbotti5385]

I love it when The Stormtroopers walk away after they see sparks when Kylo Ren destroys the chair in his rage.

[@AudienceReactions]

Its in HD special for yall for being patient. :) (By the way, this was supposed to be posted hours age but I had KZbin problems like always SMH)

[@alexborak3314]

+AudienceReactions Have you seen Deadpool?

[@marjorieflores5187]

+Alex Borak chip

[@Digital_Flayer]

AudienceReactions where was Hans death?!

[@michy552]

Yesssss! I've been waiting forever for this audience reaction!

[@mats34]

Feel like I'm watching a comedy

[@jck1794]

I mean, naturally the majority of the clips in a reaction video are gonna be from the snip bits of humor that draw laughter.

[@ryanklip24]

mats34 yeah cause they showed 6 minutes out of a an hour and a half long movie lmao

[@fryPS]

mats34 Sitcom

[@danial5870]

Yeah, the director kind of ruined the whole ‘Star Wars’ vibe and made it feel more like a comedy.

[@CuriousChronicles82275]

Hey guys dont you think that the prequels are devoid of humour. Jar jar binks did not save the day. The original trilogy had humour so this means you havent seen the original trilogy if this made you think TFA looks like comedy.

[@alecrohrer742]

Being there that day, the atmosphere, unlike anything I've ever experienced. There will never be anything that gives us that felling again

[@TiltedShot25]

December 22nd, 2015. My very first Star Wars movie in the theater, and I'll never forget having that lucky seat in the back, waiting for the note to drop and seeing how everyone would react after waiting a decade for a new Star Wars. Safe to say that I was beyond satisfied. Clapping and cheers from every isle. I knew we were all in for a good time.

[@galbert117]

Dang it C3P0, pulling a Scott Lang...

[@iReiGNxx]

No one reacted to Luke's reveal...?

[@WhipplyWorld]

I saw it opening night and my theater was dead silent when we got to that part. I assume maybe the uploader's theater was as well? I dunno.

[@jopadvi]

+bortkupo same thing in Mexico All were silent

[@iReiGNxx]

***** Wish I went there

[@NinjaWiener]

+The Lizard King I was there too!

[@NicholasNRG]

This sure beats watching sitcoms with laugh tracks!

[@matthewlee4834]

Nicholas NRG Lol

[@Pichu441]

I know the internet is very split on this movie, but I adore it. Seeing it for the first time with an emotional and excited audience was fantastic.

[@joeytaylor1021]

4:07 was unnecessary

[@JokeRatedR]

I'm not so much a fan of Star Wars but when you hear the theme song (or Darth Vader's them) you say FUCK YEAH!

[@johanstevens5824]

Angry Nostalgia Nerd darth vader's theme is the imperial march which is most definitely not the theme song.

[@blyzer7373]

Jean-Louis Stevens It is. It's Darth Vaders Theme and it's fuckinh awesome.

[@JohnCena2305]

What about the reaction for Han Solo getting killed?

[@MultiPollop]

Edgy

[@freddyramirez9934]

Community Watch That's not funny. That's sad.

[@pictureofatruck3848]

Freddy Ramirez Yeah we know. He's wondering about their reaction to him when he died.

[@areljacobcarballaldiaz5643]

Ah... the fanservice. It made the episode VII great, but it killed the franchise on the long run

[@jdb2002]

5:16-Smartest Stormtroopers ever.

[@KentKaliber]

Can you include the reaction of when KYLO STABBED HAN and when LUKE was unveiled?

[@no-ic6bu]

Kent Kaliber the room was silent when this happened

[@KentKaliber]

Same at my theater but one girl SCREAMED when the saber ignited.

[@natedawg3926]

I wish my theater had an audience like this! All I ever hear is laughter and talk, no excitement from the audience while i'm the only one who cheers and gets excited when something amazing happens in a movie!

[@98Fraud]

This was so much different in a British audience, no one claps in a British audience, it's a lot better

[@True_Comrade]

Usually, no one claps in an American audience except at the end (sometimes). It's just that this film had everyone hyped and everyone was excited to see all the original characters return.

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

So it's just Star Wars fans? FUCK.

[@BlessedmanPlaysMC]

i feel like im back in the theaters again... i cant wait for episode 8

[@blinksone2768]

Nostalgia saved this movie. It was amazing for the first time but gets boring after a few times. Something the old movies missed, I could watch them many times without getting bored. Even episode 1.

[@theloniusjaha]

I can watch all of them over and over again and still enjoy them a ton, except Attack Of The Clones. ive never liked that one.

[@wwb16]

+Dintodo the force awakens is still enjoyable even after multiple viewings

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

Enjoyable yes, but at what expense? It's shamelessly unoriginal. It's not difficult to notice that it's almost a complete rip off of EP4.

[@chozzzen1]

Watching this movie in theaters is so much different than watching it at home! At the theater it was so much fun and euphoric not just the movie the experience its self watching people line up for hours to see a movie just the fact that a starwars movie was playing had everyone excited

[@esperanzamoore6655]

When Han died, I just was silent with my mouth open for the rest of the movie!! My friend said when she saw it, she stood up from her seat and yelled “WHAT!!!???”

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

What was easily the best aspect about this movie was the audience it's self. Laughing, awwwwing, and cheering together with the crowed was an amazing experience and the sad part is that I know I'm never going to see it again.

[@Gala-yp8nx]

People at my local movie theater were going bananas the entire way through.

[@JasonNation72]

1:34 When that scene happened, I knew this movie was gonna be really good and it didn't disappoint!

[@activewreck6230]

When the intro came on and I was at the movie theatre, i was like "FUH YUH NUGUUHHH

[@Paul-fl7fs]

Ahhh, this movie was the first ever Star Wars movie, i used to think it was boring but this movie completely changed my mind. I’ve become a huge fan of star wars and I can’t wait for the last jedi!

[@TheSlayerV1]

The night I went to go watch The Force Awakens, the theater had so much energy. Never seen that much energy for a film in my life. Glad I could be apart of it.

[@MTTT19]

One of the best experiences of watching The Force Awakens at the Midnight Launch is being part of all the crowds cheers and applauds.

[@MarkaNgamer]

Pretty much same reactions in my cinema aswell.

[@neofulcrum5013]

5:43 I'm glad I wasn't the only one laughing at that part.

[@NeonDefense385]

In my country everyone's like: oh yeah this is star wars's normal intro, nothing special.... But yours are like WHOOOOO *clap *clap *clap at every joyful scene

[@Nickman_1024]

Seeing This and Avengers Age Of Ultron On the Thurday Night Early Release in IMAX were 2 of the best theater experiences ive ever had. Mainly because in both showings the audience went nuts and screamed and laughed and i had never had experiences like that in a theater before, mainly because those were the first big movies i had seen on opening night in IMAX, because i just started goin to imax, it also helps that they were basically the 2 biggest most anticipated movies of 2015 How many times can you say the entire theater applauded and screamed when something happened

[@hightidekraken]

Can we just agree this channel, JJ, and John Williams are legends

[@baconandeggs2127]

When Han Solo and Chewbacca went into the Faclon and said "we're home" I literally couldn't hear the movie because everyone was screaming and clapping. When Rye and Finn got in the Falcon 4 people clapped LMFAO.

[@tomtrinchera8405]

2:18, we cheered even louder when we saw this at the Alamo Drafthouse in Yonkers NY.

[@rainbowrunner1550]

I remember seeing The Force Awakens for the first time and people let out an "awwwww" during the opening crawl at "Luke Skywalker has vanished!" I nearly teared up at Han's death.

[@HulkVahkiin]

"but it didn't stay that way for the force awakens" hehe love that part XD

[@Ghidorah96]

imagine being so emotionally immature that you clap and cheer during a movie...

[@Mickelraven]

This is obviously fake since no one in reality is quiet when the Lucasfilm logo and "A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away..." text appears

[@starkill3r966]

I remember freaking the fuck out at this movie, every singles come just made me fanboy all over the place, I water all my life for a sequel to the OT, and I got it when I was the biggest fan boy of Star War in my life...

[@EmmaParvin1320]

The reaction to BB-8's thumbs up was fantastic!

[@timn11.04]

In German Cinemas no one ever claps, we laugh or cry or whatever but no one ever claps or cheers

[@1DeathEater]

When I went to go see it in my theater [Day 3], there was a standing ovation right as the intro started..

[@isaiahcrump1668]

Whos the person shreiking! That person is making this amazing! 😂😂😂

[@minusanimus]

I got goosebumps while seeing this scene in the cinema - 6:07 😂

[@RobTheWatcher]

I can't believe this is a Dec 17. crowd. I mean, I know every crowd is different but for a first day showing where you have to assume that the theatre is packed with hardcore fans this was surprisingly "quiet". I guess I was very lucky that of the eight times I saw it the crowd was louder than this every time. Still thank you for posting this. There's not a lot of these out there.

[@hohtari1]

The best part? when Chewie does that funny nod to hans asking face ofc!

[@kevinzhang3313]

i always found it funny how Han solo muttered 14 under his breath afterwards xD

[@KeeT4Life]

clapping in a movie theatre?! U guys are crazy^^

[@tomtrinchera8405]

"Oh, YOU'RE cold?" Love that they did a good job of bringing the humor back. The prequels were so humorless.

[@scabbarae]

What a great audience! There was barely any reaction when I saw it on opening night.

[@Balnazzardi]

well here in Finland ppl barely react to anything else, but the funny parts....its just our culture, where ppl will think you are weird and wants you to shut up if you are too loud in theater :P

[@kierangallagher567]

wow Americans sure do like clapping during movies

[@jacobsanford888]

Bro it's the first Star Wars movies since the not so liked prequels

[@rickvalentino6920]

You should go see a movie in Hollywood. Everyone always gets into it.

[@cinemaina666]

Kieran Gallagher in the UK it's mostly silent unless there's humour or a scare. Screening I've been sat in where people clap and holla at the film piss me off and ruin the experience. I'm trying to enjoy the art, I'm not at some rodeo

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

In the UK we just get idiots eating loud food thinking it won't ruin the movie.

[@thesmellysmellthatsmellssm4108]

Kieran Gallagher its horrible.

[@pvthawkeyes3646]

3:49 one of the best moment ever

[@joshuamarshall7360]

I love how this crowd didn't roar in laughter or cheer loudly, very respectful and normal.

[@drewdog3691]

My experience was similar, but not as much laughing, everyone was like so concentrated and so into it haha, but there was a lot of cheering, when Rey caught the light saber, everyone went ballistic, it was awesome!

[@atomicpaper1]

What a bummer man. Not only did I give a thumbs up like on your video but I felt that it was a great video overall. Kinda cool how you were able to put the words reactions on the Star Wars words as they were going off into the distance!

[@nik12100]

I went to see this at a late night viewing on the night before the release day, first time watching a star wars film in theaters. Had the time of my life. Funny thing is, since it was late, i overslept and missed school. No regrets.

[@lilyisacat29]

I remember when I saw TFA only a few days after the release. The entire cinema was screaming and cheering when the Star Wars logo appeared on screen.

[@channelforanartlover1293]

THIS IS THE CINEMA I SHOULD HAVE GONE TOO.

[@Jackferrett6781]

When I saw this movie people only cheered when the millennium falcon was found and when Han and Chewie appeared for the first time since 1983. It was complete silence when R2 was unveiled and when Han copped the saber

[@mtg_matt_the_gladiator]

Did anyone hear Han say “Oh really Luke called?” Instead of “Oh really you’re cold?”
