Huh.... 2:16:58.... he really is wearing Hans clothing.

Charles Koeppel

fuck you mean convenient he obviously used the force, just use your head

Starting in the mid 90’s George Lucas re-released the original films as his first wave of “special editions” to “more align with his artistic vision”, but in reality it was to make more $$$. He would then make new “special editions” with even more changes and dates CGI in 2004 and in 2010. There are several videos that compare scenes from the theatrical cuts to the various “special editions”. The easiest way to know if you’re witnessing a “special edition” change is if you see anything CG in the shot, and most (by most I mean 95%) of these “special edition” changes at best did nothing to improve the movies and at worst made the movies worse than before.

Huh? What are the special editions?

Michael

I'm glad that this movie was ruined the least by the "Special Editions".

Eliteguard99

"Only what you take with you:, is the best line in star wars

MenacingScone

I was really happy you didn't sus it out ahead of time. It made your reaction to it genuine :)

In Dutch, "vader" (which means "father") is pronounced as "VAH-der". The first syllable, "va," is pronounced like the "fa" in "father" (with an "ah" sound), and the second syllable, "der," is pronounced like "duhr" (with a soft "r" at the end).

52:00 C3PO had Captain Obvious installed in his software. I was lucky enough to meet Darth Vader (his body David Prowse) Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and C3PO (Anthony Daniels) at a Science Fiction convention just before this film came out.

Hhound42

The Wampa scene was added because Mark Hamil had been in a serious accident that had needed extensive facial reconstruction I believe and they needed to explain why he looked different

Andy me

It's astonishing how correct both of your analyses are just from this film

Sunny Biscuit

What's interesting is that Vader is still so powerful even though he is being limited by his suit. When the Emperor saved him, he intentionally made his suit with glaring flaws so that Vader wouldn't be strong enough to beat the Emperor in case of a betrayal. Funnily enough though, once the Emperor was sure of his loyalty, he offered to give Vader a new suit, but Vader declined because he'd gotten so used to the current suit, and because it afforded him certain strengths a different suit would not have, like it's increased weight, and brute strength over maneuverability. If I got any lore wrong, please let me know.

Camden Weisz

Let's be real, Obi-Wan may straight up be the best Jedi ever no matter the style. The only one I'd put over him is Qui-gon

Graxdon

for disney to save it they must fire everyone in Lucasfilm except the janitor.

Petter Uppvall

Yeah that “other hope” was written out of the series when Disney took over. You find out what it is in the next film but that’s it. We still have legends tho

Nightmareman99

God loving the Star Wars content. A little fun fact. The original actor for chewie has dialogue for the first 3 films. He would speak his lines during filming then they’d dub chewie’s iconic voice over it. So scenes where Han is arguing with Chewie it’s not one sided at all they go back and forth 😂😂😂 You can still find some behind the scenes clips on YouTube of their banter

Nightmareman99

I am glad you noticed all the blocking by obi-wan because there are different lightsaber fighting styles and the one obi-wan mastered is specifically geared towards blocking and defense and he was considered the best jedi ever in this style.

Lucifer Moon

"is that a bounty hunter ship" ... that interstingly enough is slave 1

Lance Ivy

gotta watch the xmas special so you can see the rest of chewies family

Lance Ivy

Star Wars Episode V = 3 years later

J-Rod

Lego Star Wars or Battlefront 2 (either the original or newer one) are great for doing co-op stuff. Also now you get where Gran Torino's goofy "who are you?" into being a badass personality comes from.

Ash Rose

Please please please play star wars battlefront 2 on stream. It has amazing multi-player and got ride of all it's microtransactions so it is actually a fantastic game now and it allows you to play every battle from the entire franchise including all vehicles, weapons, races, troop types, heroes and villians. It is so good.

Lucifer Moon

Awesome didn't know that

Jaffar Black Fang

wait actually? Thats sick I didn't know that

Rellius6669

"GET THIS DEVILISH BASTARD OUT OF HERE!" --Klcoma, getting swayed heavily by Lando Calrizzian

Daniel Siegfried

I wonder if Ba Sing Se and Season 2 of Avatar took a ton of inspiration from Empire strikes back

Jaffar Black Fang

He's fine think it was just someone who looked like him what's crazy is that he's actually Ewan McGregors uncle

Daniel Gonzalez

WEDGE NOOO Man the rogue squadron games on the N64 and GameCube made me huge fans of him Hope Alicia checks those out

Jaffar Black Fang

48:06 Alicia's unintentional Wilhelm scream

Nathanial Nero

Darth Vader actually had two actors, one who wore the suit and did the physical acting, and then James Earl Jones, who gave him his iconic voice. Jones actually died very very recently at the age of 94, just 2 or 3 weeks ago in fact. RIP to a legend.

AbsurdToastling

No way han solo was frozen for 1-3 years bro 😭

Douglas Ribeiro

Bro where tf did you get that information from, that's impossible

Douglas Ribeiro

If you mean the 2d version, I loved that one!

khaliqtessi

I am so happy that this old fucking movies are still so captivating for newcomers. Seems like these movies did something right.

MoD+

nuh uh

Vincent

Vader has been described as a "Juggernaut", and watching the original trilogy, we can see why: dude's a force of nature

Kaz

I think they meant the mini-series version by Gennedy Tartakovsky.

unknown organism

So mean to post first 2 so close together then make us wait on last one

JP RN

i think Alicia should get Jedi Robes for her model if she is in for the ride also for the animated clone wars series there is a certain order episode order i recommend you to follow for it to be chronologically in order because it can be confusing occasionally

Vincent

What is your source for that? I'll be honest that doesn't track with the progression of episode 5. A week, maybe 2 but not 6 months. Between the time of escaping Hoth and the showdown in Bespin I agree it is impossible to track Luke's passage of time properly. But we can easily track Han and companys' time. Escaping the Empire, hiding in the throat of the Exogorth couldn't have been more than a day maybe 2. Powering down and hiding behind the Star Destroyer it probably wasn't more then a few hours maybe a day before they jumped to hyperspace and left dropping trash and allowing the crew to fly to Bespin without lightspeed. After that the trip would probably take a few days maybe. Then after arriving things started moving very fast so maybe another few hours at best before Luke arrives to confront Vader. I think you must be thinking of Luke training after Episode 5 before the start of Episode 6. But with that time period it is a little fuzzy with the official canon exactly how much time passes . I've read anywhere from 1~3 years, most agree with meeting in the middle and saying 1year and six months.

Matthew Williams

Thank you

Aaro Tiljander

For the love of God, stop spreading lies you read somewhere

Karou

but vader is a bad bitch tho'

Yagi di Hoshi

yo, coma & i both did not simultaneously think "cock monster" in the swamp at the same time did we...

Yagi di Hoshi

The Empire Strikes back is generally considered the best of the Star Wars movies by much of the fanbase, but I can totally respect loving the first movie more, especially with just having watched them back to back like this. The first movie really does an amazing job of introducing the main cast of protagonists and the Star Wars universe, and is just super charming. The second movie really focuses on building those characters, truly introducing Vader as a terrifying villain, and having some of the most iconic and epic moments of the franchise, but it's also less of a fun romp than the first movie was probably.

xsithspawnx

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is couch co-op with controllers only.

N00B

I haven’t played the most recent Star Wars Lego game but I’m sure it’s co-op, they all normally are. And if you’re up for a shooter there’s the original battlefronts that got remastered, dunno if they’re doing better than when it released, and then there’s the other battlefront 2 which I think ended up pretty good despite it’s original controversy. Hell watching these movies again is making me wanna play it!

OscarGrump

Calling a tauntaun a chocobo is wild 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes it's so bright yellow and feathery... Wait... Lol

Jorden Powell

Fun fact: Luke was training with Yoda for about 6 months.

Sorel2020

Loving this so much! Seriously, it's so amazing seeing someone so blind to Star Wars, but who gets it so well! And yeah, there is a reason Vader is one of the most iconic bad guys ever.

Seraphem

Hearing you say you've never seen the Star Wars movie or Indiana Jones is just mind blowing to me. I love seeing people watch the movies I watched as a kid.

Rokuta

Its so rare to ever see a reaction for star wars nowadays that is as blind as that, thats the good shit man

Lucas_Oreki

thing is, the head we see is also not the actor with the mask on, Vader had like four different actors for all the different parts of his appearance

Lucas_Oreki

idk man, its still spelled like it is in the original, so it doesnt sound like Vater much. To be fair, I cant even remember if I knew back when i watched it for the first time as a kid, was way to young to remember xD

Lucas_Oreki

She should react to Robot Chicken after the movies, its peak comedy

Lucas_Oreki

19:00 Chewie being a grown ass man ... yeah about 180 years old

Silver Blade

Yes sirrr I can’t wait til you go to clone wars

Jimmy Recinos

Nah, that first scene is filler but the battle of Hoth is supposed to highlight how, despite the destruction of the Death Star, the Empire still has vastly superior numbers and technology compared to the rebels, who still cannot beat them in a direct confrontation and are forced to retreat every time their bases are discovered.

unknown organism

R2 is the goat im sure you love him even more as the series goes on

AyatoMisubi

I was still in grade school when this came out. Our parents weren't interested in seeing it so they just dropped us at the theater. it was PG so we just saw it on our own. The darkness of the story, Luke's failure, the setbacks, Han is frozen and captured, betrayal, is Vader really his father? So very different from the triumphant ending of the first movie. It was a lot for a kid to take in. And now we were stuck waiting 3 years to find out what happens.

Vik Persson

I prefer Empire Strikes Back and its darker tone, but in general the set design, creature design and grandiose operatic story is top tier across the original trilogy

cyberspacecat

From a certain point of view I suppose you're technically correct

Brandon Dodge

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Brandon Dodge

25:33 Alicia the name of the theme is "Imperial March" if you ever want to listen to it later. 1:17:06 Darth Vader had 4 people portraying him. One for the voice, one for fighting, one for without the mask, and one for everything else. And now all of them are dead irl.

Trevor Appel

I can't believe you didn't know about the Vader reveal...man

Gildarts1#fan

Fun fact: Mark Hamill had a real bad car accident at the end of filming Star Wars which broke his face. The Wampa at the beginning scene is basically there to explain why Luke's face is all messed up.

Aerowind

to be fair I didn't even know who he was since a few years ago

Fenronin (Dorian Dubourg)

1:00:37 Her rant reminds me of the Robot Chicken Star Wars special where the Emperor went "Oh my god! I look like I have a scrotum for a face! What am supposed to call myself now, Darth Syphilis?!"

Elias Cristerna

I would say it is very easy to pick up stuff about this franchise from geek and cultural osmosis alone, so yeah it is surprising how little they actually knew going in but very happy to get a reaction to this with such fresh eyes.

ChaosSepher

Vater, is german is closely sounded like Father

Kevin

Why should they?

Setsuna

to be fair, darth vader did kill anakin skywalker

Joyo Boy

I've never link the two, that's why Hoth fells so detatched from everything else! They even put the rebels back on the run like at the end of IV. Hoth is a one piece filler.

Thaïsgrün

To be fair, knowing Alicia and her selective memory she could have been told the twist once off handedly years ago and it just wasn’t something that latched on to stay 😂

Flamemaster9

Living for the commentary on star wars so far lmao, actually fucking peak.

NekoSoophie!

I knew R2-D2 would be your favorite

Ronix

So interesting note, the scene with Luke getting attacked in the beginning was added later to explain Mark's facial injuries from a car wreck right before filming started. So that might be why pacing is a bit weird there

Loki

And now Alicia and koma have washed the movie that had the biggest twist in cinema that's exciting now episode 7 and the the prequels and the clone wars let's go

dragon emperor ry

THEY DIDN'T KNOW VADER WAS VOICED BY JAMES EARL JONES?! JESUS IT'S AMAZING HOW LITTLE THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS FRANCHISE!

vincent shiflett

Just FYI for those unaware, Yoda is voiced by the GOATed Frank Oz who also voiced such characters as Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and even Skeletor. Next up, my personal favorite Star Wars movie. Let’s go!

BakaSama

So a behind the scenes fact after the first movie, mark hamill got into a pretty bad car accident that damaged his face it's why thay made the scene of him and the yeti, to give an in universe explanation as to why his face looks different

Ian (unimportant last name)

vaders actor in the suite is def not earl jones and the guy in the suit didnt know they wernt going to use his voice

Andrew

alicia's new them song "the imperial march"

Protector 7

I'm here with another Fun Fact: The seen with the Wampa (Yeti creature) was mainly included because Mark Hamill got into a motorcycle accident during filming and they needed a reason for him to suddenly have facial scars.

Wil DeYoung

So, something that Paul can confirm if asked is Vader’s name. Vader is German for Father. For people who know German, the Vader part wasn’t much of a twist

Lenny_has_arived

A blind reaction to Vader’s reveal in 2024 is like Really cool. Glad y’all having fun!

PrivateXimmy

I started the New Hope reaction apparently right when this was posted. I was hoping it wouldn't be a long wait for ep 5 after that first reaction. Imagine my surprise :D

MrYourgurt

HA!! Hilarious, (idk what time zone you’re in) but it’s almost midnight for me and I’m just about to start this, so I think I’m the forerunner on not sleeping tonight for this

Disciple Of Shaco

TFW when you finish Ep 4 reaction and see a new notification on Patreon >_> It's EP 5!

Memento Forever

OOO I just finished 4, and IM SOOO GLAD You watched this before reading any comments

Memento Forever

Let's go two in one day! Guess I'm gonna be tired tomorrow, but worth it!

M

honestly with how closely she interacts with the internet and nerd culture and pop culture as a whole, it's such a crazy achievement to have not known about this one, always awesome to see

Ellerian

The Imperial March is gonna be blasting like a motherfucker when Alicia is getting married. 🤣🤣🤣

RedRam-Ipsen

So, one of the oldest movies where the ends go for the bad guys, an epic one too, imagine seeing this on cinema and going like: wait... that's it? Nooooo!!!!! And having to wait more than a year for the next part Just like some of the MCU but better, i guess 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Faroth

YESSSS I just finished your IV reacion and here pops up V! :D :D :D

Timmetry

You're spoiling us with all this content!

subete_wa

"I love you" "I know" Annnnnd THIS is where you figure out that Asuna Han Solo'd Kirito in SAO Abridged 11, as they were fading from the game world when it all ended.

ArcaneAnomaly

Well, I guess I'm not playing Diablo tonight...*ahem* Or going to bed anytime soon. JUST finished Star Wars, then Empire pops up. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

rrrebo

Oh, lesgo! I just finished the A New Hope reaction, your timing is perfect.

J

No idea what to comment. Hype is too big. Brain is overstimulated. I’m just so, so happy you’re reacting to this and that you’re enjoying it. It makes my heart so happy ❤️

Chronos Hoffman

Oh I see, I ain't sleeping tonight. that's fine I wasn't tired anyways.

Jacob

No, you're not dumb. Obi-Wan is just a lying bitch. Props to both of you for not being spoiled about the most famous twist in cinema history.

Nate Zabinski

hmm just watched a great reaction let me f5 real quick OH SHIT NEXT MOVIE.
