Great reaction video Mary Cherry. With regards to the prequels pretty much everyone didn't really like them when they first came out, for various reasons such as the CGI special effects having a plastic look/sheen and feel to them, that the first two films didn't have many characters that were familiar, and the dialogue being poor. However in recent years people have come to appreciate them more especially since the release of the sequels (7-9)

She literally says, in a surprised way, "Somehow, I've always known". Like, it's occurring to her in that moment that she's always felt a connection with Luke. That's probably why she didn't pursue a romantic relationship with him. Neither did he, for that matter.

[@riolkin]

@@BLSFL_HAZE Also, you can usually tell if there's some chemistry with a kiss. After that one where she tried to piss off Han, anytime afterwards it always looked very familial.

Vader died because the emperor’s lightning messed up his life support suit. Putting the helmet back on wouldn’t have saved him. Like he said “Nothing can stop that now”

[@charlesedwards2856]

Not to bring out the big guns of geek lore, but Vader actually chose to die. He only told Luke it couldn’t be avoided because Luke would never have willingly removed his mask. In the time between him killing the Emperor and dying on the ramp of the ship, Obi Wan’s ghost appeared to him and taught him how to become a force ghost because he knew Anakin would rather die than have people know he actually survived the purge and committed the heinous acts he did as Vader.

Jon Mercano I’m now wondering if I got myself mixed up when the SW Theory page on here was doing something about it, but I know I heard it.

You’re absolutely right, it IS a weird beard, and the reason it is, is because it is a hurriedly improvised fake. The actor who read for the part did so with a beard. He was given the role, and filming day he showed up... with no beard. The people from Lucasfilm were upset. He needed a beard, they said. The actor was baffled. There was nothing in the script or role that called for the character to have a beard... he wasn’t described in the script at all except in very general terms. Why did he need one? “Because we’ve already made your action figure for the toy line based on your appearance at the reading, and it has a beard!” So they had the makeup guys improvise a fake beard on him... which is why it looks so strange.

A few things: 1. Leia didn't mean that she knew she was Luke's sister. She sensed that they were connected, but didn't know exactly how until Luke told her. 2. Putting Vader's helmet back on wouldn't have saved him. The Emperor's lightning damaged his suit, which works as a life-support system that he needs due to injuries he got in the past (the Prequels expand upon this).

[@charlesedwards2856]

#2 is slightly incorrect. Somewhere in the multitudes of novels it explains that Vader chose to die rather than live and be revealed to the galaxy as Anakin. People would never trust him after what he had done. He told Luke keeping the mask on wouldn’t help because he knew Luke wouldn’t remove it if he thought there was hope. In the short time between killing the emperor and dying on the ramp of the shuttle, Obi Wan spoke to him and taught him how to preserve himself as a force ghost, thus how he was able to do it when he hadn’t ever been taught on screen.

[@Cenindo]

Plainly the "Luke and Leia are siblings" reveal wasn't really planned out from the start. Nor was it even planned that this was going to be a trilogy and not an ongoing series with even more parts. But by the third movie, George Lucas felt burnt out (and was also in the middle of a divorce), so he decided to just wrap up the Star Wars story for now. However, in the previous movie they had let Yoda say that "there is another" than Luke that might save the galaxy. What was originally planned was that Luke would eventually discover that he had a long-lost sister ("Nellith" was one possible name for her), so that she was the "other" Yoda spoke of. However, when they decided that Return of the Jedi was to be the last movie for now, there was no time to go into any elaborate plots regarding Luke's sister. To explain Yoda's remark about "another", it was decided that none other than LEIA was in fact Luke's sister! In hindsight, that made some kissing scenes in the previous two movies a bit awkward, though those were never any really passionate kisses. Leia gives Luke a little peck "for luck" on the first Death Star, she kisses him wholly and solely to annoy Han "Entitled Jerk" Solo in the following film, and also gives him a little "get well" peck after Vader has chopped off his hand. And that is all, really. It was only the first movie that hinted that Luke was crushing just a little on Leia. Already by Empire Strikes Back he seems to accept that Han and Leia are drifting towards one another (even if they are both screaming and kicking, as it were), and Luke respects that.

[@kevinnelson66]

IIRC, the original 1974 draft for "The Star Wars" did reference Jedi twins, but they weren't Luke and Leia. In that original draft, Luke was a 60 year old rebel general and Vader was a 60 year old Imperial general. Han Solo was originally a green skinned alien and R2-D2 was capable of human speech.

*NO SPOILERS:* When it comes to the prequel trilogy...they're just...different. They have a different aesthetic, visually. They're a little denser plot-wise, so there is a lot more nuance and subtlety to keep track of and appreciate. There is more CGI and green screen as compared to the original trilogy, but keep in mind that's probably because CGI wasn't really a "thing" in the late 70s-80s. Some people don't like them, but most "younger" people tend to be perfectly entertained by them, so I imagine you will like them all the same. It's definitely a more tragic arc, there will be some tough things to witness that happen to various characters. But there will also be a lot of fun surprises as well. The most polarizing character is Jar-Jar Binks (Actually, "polarizing" suggests that people are split, but in fact he's pretty universally hated lol). Anyway, looking forward to your reactions to those. I've already subscribed, take care!

Fun fact. Femi Taylor who played Oola in the theatrical release of Return of the Jedi, returned 14 years later remarkably looking the same as she did during filming of her scenes for Return of the Jedi, to record a brief sequence of new footage for the 1997 special edition, Darth Vader’s screams of the word no were added for the 2011 blu-ray special edition, if you remember back to Jabba’s appearance in a New Hope, you might have noticed that he’s a digital effect in that sequence, originally that sequence wasn’t in the movie, since it was cut out, and in it’s place Lucas used the sequence with Greedo, for the 1997 special edition Lucas had the original human actor for Jabba digitally replaced with a CGI turd, that was later revised for the 2004 special edition release to be more in-line with Jabba’s appearance in Return of the Jedi, Greedo’s death was also a victim of special edition changes, from the Disney plus version adding in dialogue in Huttese for Greedo which essentially translates to Greedo saying that this would be Solo’s end, before Greedo fires, to Lucas changing the footage to have Greedo fire first in the 1997 special edition, and then later changing it to have them fire at roughly the same time in the 2004 and 2011 special editions.

This was such a delight. Watching you react and take your first steps into this universe is interesting.

[@eloivallsferriz842]

i'm from spain and i really enjoy a lot your videos. Don't stop never :)

A Leiuke shipper watching ep. VI for the first time? This is gonna be fun.

[@SleepySloth2705]

10:07 fun fact: the old man to the right is canonically a clone trooper, Commander Rex 😁

[@darla4528]

No way. For real?

[@callumpears1523]

First of all, that's a pretty big spoiler if she watches TCW/Rebels. Secondly, no he isn't. That guy is Nik Sant and Dave Filoni said he didn't want to overwrite him.

"No more kissing on the mouth for you guys" 😂 I've been anticipating for the big reveal since the A New Hope lol

[@bluebirdsigma]

I've been looking forward to this.

[@JediS1138]

Yeeeesss someone else who loves the “Dark” series!!! Such a great series!

[@EricGraham94]

A common criticism of Leia in this movie aside from the slave bikini is how she turns to emotional mush. That was the whole point of her arc: transitioning from an idealistic princess to a more mature feminine young woman. But Leia’s femininity and vulnerability - her homeworld being destroyed, admitting her feelings to Han before he is frozen, being Jabba’s slave, finding out the shocking family revelation - doesn’t take away from her fighting spirit at all. That’s why the OT is a character-based trilogy’s

[@ShadGMoore]

"Wow! Wow! OMG the Emperor is dead! The Emperor! This is huge!" Kathleen Kennedy: "Hold my glass of wine."

[@bobhodgson6788]

GREAT reaction to the sibling reveal!! I chuckled every time you mentioned a love triangle. 😃 I was 10 years old when the first movie came out in 1977. To be that age when something that HUGE came out was VERY EXCITING!! I COULD NOT WAIT TO SEE IT. I've seen every one one the first day since Empire Strikes Back. Your reactions are PRICELESS!!😃

[@BenRai2k]

Happy you enjoyed the original trilogy! It is amazing to see the team destroy Jabba's sail barge at the start. The Empire Strikes back saw our heroes get beaten time and time again. So it was great to see them fly away from that explosion! Leia killing Jabba was a great moment, you'd expect Luke or Han to be the one to personally kill him, but having Leia do it was great.

[@Jedi120]

Please don’t listen to the toxic fans who trash the Prequel Trilogy. I personally loved them, and I grew up during the OT era. I always think it’s best to see them for yourself, and form your OWN opinion. I love watching your reactions, BTW. 🙂👍🏻

[@corbanwoosley6891]

I feel the same!

[@RockyHemingway]

Nah first two are bad. There's no getting around it. You have to have grown up with them to have any sort of affection for them.

[@corbanwoosley6891]

@@barreloffun10 You're a good example of a toxic fan who can't just let people enjoy things in peace. You are welcome to hate the sequels. She is smart and will make up her own mind without your negativity

[@Kap00rwith2os]

Ya Leia in the slave girl outfit was because they figured all the little boys who saw the original Episode 4 were now teens so it was kinda for them 😳. Carrie Fisher said that the bikini was made out of plastic so Boba Fett was standing on set in a place where he could "see all the way to Florida" when she moved 😅

[@seanmurphy637]

Looking forward to this.

[@JedHead77]

Leia’s “slave” costume is popular among female cosplayers I think because it empowers them, because although it seems to make the wearer helpless, it was Jabba’s downfall because it was this small woman who ended up killing him. A friend of mine happens to own the original costume in his memorabilia collection.

[@chm985]

Great reactions! Can't wait for you to see the next two trilogies!

[@phluke9578]

Love your amazing honest first time reaction! Omg. Super super Rare to see someone that has zero idea of what happens in Star Wars. Seriously my best thing in my life to see someone not knowing anything and honest reaction as if you saw in 77-83 ❤️. You and only one other I’ve seen. I can’t wait for more. And after Star Wars more films!!!

[@em23]

4:52 in 1983 we in the theater clapped like crazy!

[@Zerostarxx93]

"This is huge!" My immature ass: "That's what she said!"

[@Gundam944]

Sigh...The Vader redemption scene was so much better in its original form. There was no "No". Vader was completely silent when he saved Luke.

[@TheJoeyKnoxville]

Exactly. I really dislike the "no" in the re-release. It was more powerful when he said nothing. It was like they thought the audience was too stupid to understand Vader's inner struggle... The camera moving in on Vader tells a lot more than words..

[@carlosrob8423]

Personally I like the "no" included better.

[@kent_nelson]

Ikr, original was best.

[@lalalalisa41]

Agreed. I find it impressive that we're able to tell what Vader is feeling despite the mask on. That's a sign of fantastic storytelling and characterization right there honestly. There's no words needed to be said at times with Vader 👌

[@Luey_Luey]

IMO it would have worked best with a quiet 'no...' right as he was already turning to grab the Senate instead of the quiet no before he moves, and without the loud dramatic 'NOOOOOO'

[@gawainethefirst]

According to Carrie Fisher, the costume that she wore, if she turned a certain way you could see “all the way to Florida.” Her words.

[@DarthCaedus7]

When Carrie Fisher was asked about what she’d say to little girls who saw in her in the gold bikini, she straight said she’d tell them she murdered the guy who made her wear it

[@arnie019]

“Hanky panky” LOL

[@jonmercano1138]

Killing Jabba earned Leia the nickname Huttslayer from a species that was subjugated by the hutts

[@Robert_Douglass]

Also, it's mentioned, in the novelisation of "The Rise of Skywalker, think, that Leia had to tap into the Dark Side a bit to do so.

[@Signorasbutterfly]

The species is called Nikto :)

[@eviljbrian]

From my understanding, the Hutts even put a bounty on her head because of it.

[@armanghaloosian6130]

Awesome moment from Bloodline!

[@doryanburlison6998]

Fun Fact: the Ewok that found Leia in the woods was played by Warwick Davis who if you ever watched the Harry Potter movies played Professor Flitwick and was also the Leprechaun from those Leprechaun movies.

[@Waterford1992]

Many of the aliens in Jabbas palace at start were CGI added into the film in 2011 for the blu ray release lol they did not have that sort of stuff in 1983

[@charlesedwards2856]

Nope, they were added in 2005 or whenever the DVD’s were originally released after the prequels finished up.

[@ThatBlakeCampbell]

If you’re talking about the band/singers, they were added in the 1997 special additions.

[@benv7933]

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. your reactions!!!

[@joshcampen9655]

I love that you called out that guys beard

[@lazymansload520]

The fact that they’re siblings shows that Lucas did not plan EVERY aspect of the series from the beginning as too many fans often claim he did.

[@MisterPrince01]

Yeah people claim he's such a genius and that he planned everything, which isn't the case. I don't think it's a big deal. The sequels suffered way more from not being planned through.

[@Logan_Baron]

Yeah even reading Lucus' claims on other things over the years, he's contradicted himself many times.

[@jonathanbowling2904]

George Lucas has said multiple times the Emperor is Satan in this story, whispering into Vader and controlling him. It's what makes the Original Trilogy so good. When we first meet Vader, we see him as the Main Bad guy and the Villain. When look fights him the first time, he believes Vader is the main villain and wants to defeat him, which ends up with Luke losing the fight and a hand. When Luke finally learns the truth of who Vader is, he grows compassion for Vader. something Vader rarely received in his life. Vader knows the Emperor intends to replace him with Luke, it is the way of the Dark Side. By Luke choosing to not kill Vader when he can, throwing his weapon, he proves the Emperor wrong and for the first time in forever, Vader realizes someone loves him, that HIS SON loves him. This is something the Dark Side cannot understand. It is what changes Vader to overthrow the Emperor, saving his son and sacrificing himself.

[@Mazecraft]

Oh man. I know we are talking about Star Wars right now, but the sinking of that "Dark" ship crushed me. They actually had real chemistry in S1!!!

[@monsterhanna6691]

My favorite Star Wars movie and probably one of my favorite movies of all time! 😍😍😍💚💚💚

[@Eivor85]

It took 3 people to be Darth Vader in the original trilogy, James Earl Jones did the voice,David Prowse wore the suit and Sebastian Stan as his face under the helmet

[@imuawarriors]

loved your reaction! these movies were a huge part of my youth.... I remember seeing the original in the theaters... the lines was soooo long.... and regarding the prequels - I like them! Star Wars forever!

[@shenran9164]

The person in the 1st ewok costume we see played parts in the rest of the up coming star wars movies after this one

[@jamesdee759]

The one thing that I do like is that at the very end it shows Anakin standing along side Yoda and Obi-Wan as Force ghosts which means that Luke and Leia still have a chance to get to know their Father to some extent.

[@postponedprogress6962]

Imagine the Team Luke and Team Han people in the 80’s. I bet Team Luke felt weird after the sister reveal.

[@VinVonVoom]

Mary: Genuinely enjoys Jedi Rocks The Entire Star Wars Fanbase: So you have chosen... _death._

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

It's too bad they didn't just choose to adapt "Lapti Nek" as a bigger production number. I don't hate "Jedi Rocks" by any means, it's just not as good of a song.

[@kifliotaya]

i watched it with timeline order, and it hit hard when u know anakin character

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

At first I thought it was a video with young Marguerite Moreau as presenter. Then I realized I was wrong.

[@dldd8778]

"No more kissing on the mouth for you guys" 😂😂😂 so true...lmao!

[@wolfofthewest8019]

Girl, you are some kind of genius. Do you know how many people watch these movies and think Han Solo is the coolest guy in the universe? Very few people have the insight and perception to notice that he's actually kind of a schmuck. He's arrogant, rude, cowardly, and not particularly competent. He's nowhere near the hero that Luke is, but he's the guy every guy wants to be. It really warms my heart to see someone else recognize that he's not the greatest thing since sliced bread.

[@jonmercano1138]

Allegedly the other wasn’t going to be Leia, but it was still going to be Luke’s sister, and she would’ve been a trained jedi.

[@iReiGNxx]

Tbh that could have been just as cool, if not, cooler.

[@jewsco]

that was the paln but they figured adding in a brand new character so late would have be confusing so they went with Leia

[@leoburgermanstudios3204]

Mary: Hates the Emperor The Emperor: Gooood!

[@brandonb.5304]

No more kissing on the mouth for you guys. Your comment had me in literal tears 😂 I've been binging your reactions and they're so great, Mary. So glad I subbed.

[@SuStel]

The upped production quality was CGI produced for the "remastered" version released in 1997.

[@melvinwren]

i learned a new term today. “shipping”...took me a couple times of you using it. but i get it lol.

[@kefestanton3800]

Anakin is with the Force now. Episodes 1-3 is the beginning of how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader

[@brianrogers7360]

The person playing Wicket also played Professor Flitwit from Harry Potter.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

It's far more surprising first learning Luke and Leia are siblings in Episode III. I don't know why so many people still think otherwise. : P And this whole movie has much more dramatic impact if you've seen all 5 movies before it and actually saw Anakin/Vader's full arc and the full scale of the Emperor's machinations, IMO. But what's done is done.

[@monsterhanna6691]

"Or he did a little hanky panky when he was younger." 😂

[@Jonas-xl4wg]

really wanted to see your reaction to the force ghosts

[@zomish13]

I have found in watching these first time reactions to Star Wars that most people who are watching these right in a row usually like the prequels as much and sometimes a little more (at least episodes 2 and 3) because of the upgrade in CGI quality. There are lots to love about the prequels (at least episodes 2 and 3) and if you get the time I would suggest watching the Clone Wars TV series, even if you don't react here to it. Your love for Obi-wan, Anakin and others you have yet to meet will grow exponentially!

[@StephenLuke]

4:02 Wilhelm Scream.

[@shotarohidari7417]

The emperor wanted Luke as his apprentice to get the powerful apprentice he has wanted. Vader was it but his injuries (see the prequels) hamper his potential. Luke except for his mechanical hand still retains almost the full potential his father does. Example is vader cannot risk using force lightning as it will damage him. His more sluggish movements due to his mechanics. As for Leia and Luke being related, we actually got a hint that Leia was at least force sensitive in Episode V. When luke reached out to her via the Force on Bespin and she heard him. Only a Force Sensitive could have sensed that. Fans have since speculated that their blood relation is what allowed leia to hear him even though she was untrained. I truthfully do not know where in production of episode V or VI that lucas decided to make them siblings. But I believe it is after episode V was done. As for the infamous metal bikini, The late Carrie Fisher has stated that if she stood a certain way, the cast and crew had um... unhindered view and she hated the costume but had come to hail it as a sign that women are powerful, even though society does things like that to them. I personally know a few who cosplay that costume and lemme tell you they are the most strongest women I know both physically and mentally. Enjoy the prequels.

[@MsMaggyW]

George Lucas' official stance has always been that everybody is Force-sensitive, but on differing levels. I think the Leia twist was purely thought of for ep 6 but because she felt close to Luke, and because Luke was trying hard to reach out to her, she was able to sense him.

[@Bobcat665]

No, Luke couldn't just put the mask back on. Remember that big lightning show when Vader threw The Emperor over the rails? That little stunt fatally damaged Vader's life support systems. It would've required the Star Wars equivalent of a rapid response medical team and a fully equipped ER to save Vader, and that just wasn't happening with the Death Star in tatters and about to blow up.

[@vincentsaia6545]

When Mark Hamel and Carrie Fisher were taken aside and told their characters were brother and sister just before starting work on this movie they looked at each other and said, "Ewewe!."

[@raezor82]

“What is that?” A very large Yorkshire Terrier

[@Charolette21]

14:10 Han recalls when Leia shoved her tongue down her own brother's mouth to make him jealous.

[@bartoszrebelski8571]

Vader's suit was damaged by the Emperor's lightnings and he would die anyway, with the mask or without.

[@raymondwilson293]

he is a quick learner I've always said that... 🤣
