Why is this entire fight so unforgivable? Why is it so fun to see Luke go fucking crazy.

For me, it's when vader trips on his cape and falls back on the railing before losing his arm.

>>219850610
Why didn't Vader just teleport away, make copies of himself, and gangrape Luke like he did against Starkiller several years earlier?
>>
>>219850552
should they have made him get closer? to me it never seemed like he really considered switching. i still find the buildup enough, especially with the prequels, to make this such a powerful ending

I think this is probably the moment that I fell in love with his character. He goes insane but see what he has become and throws away his lightsaber for his father.

When Vader just gets down on the floor for luke to start just hitting his sword before chopping his hand off is sort of a bad moment in this fight. And I always thought it was stupid in Empire when Vader starts using the force to slowly hurl styrofoam boxes at luke who's like pretending he can't hit them and is getting very injured by them hitting him. Two small flaws in three of the best movies ever though
>>
>>219850552
He doesn't almost fall to the dark side. It's never even hinted he wants anything evil. Being sort of ruthless toward Jabba is not evidence of being evil. He has literally no reason to align with Palpatine and Palpatine just like asks him once and then decides to kill him.

Visually it looks amazing. From the color to the shots to the costumes.
Then you have the stakes but also a story that is being told that is far more than just who is winning and losing the fight. Vader is highly conflicted. Despite the fact that Luke is beating Vader to death in the final moments he's actually losing. He gives into his hatred and fear and because of that he genuinely reaches his lowest point in his entire story. The visual of him seeing his father's severed hand and looking at his own is perfect. Instead of giving up, though, he turns his lowest moment into his greatest triumph. By refusing to kill his father and resigning himself to die as a jedi, like his father before him. From this moment he wins on a spiritual level, regardless of what happens next. But, of course, the love of his father wins out.

People talk shit about Return as if it's some terrible prequel level film but the most important parts of it are the genuine heart and soul of Star Wars. There is no all-encompassing moment that shows everything Star Wars is about more than the Throne room scenes in Return.

Just rewatched these trilogy kinos (Harmy Despecialized editions).
I gotta say is STAR WARS 1977 actually underrated? People act like Empire is lightyears ahead but I think the quality is a lot more even across all 3 flicks.
Return has pain points but the whole Jabba sequence and the Throne Room are incredible.

he wasnt as well trained as the older generation of jedi

It's my favorite of the three. It's just so unbelievably well paced. Empire and Return are great, but there are some sections that drag a little bit for me.

It's not just that. Luke taps into the dark side and becomes super strong, to defeat Vader like that. Vader is mostly strong mechanical robot. Luke's just lean and fit not real strong.
>>
>>219852161
His temptation to the darkside is using his anger to protect his friends and family. He goes bonkers when Leia is mentioned but then calms down when he realizes hes about to kill his father.

I think the entire point is that hes there to redeem his father, if Leia was threatened by any other Sith Lord its likely Luke would have turned to the dark side as he realized he didnt have the power to save his friends. The true power of the light side isnt in brute strength but is more mystic and loving and the entire point of the scene is about self sacrifice and selflessness aiding a greater good as Vader realizes his entire motivation to the Dark Side was to protect the ones he loves and he was about to lose Luke. Its basically a massive juxtaposion of motivations where Luke is being tempted to the dark side to protect the ones he loves through total power but rejects it as his father needs to learn the lesson and be redeemed. Vader feels trapped by the darkside but Luke is the one who shows him the path out.

Do you think Obi Wan's ghost told Luke the specifics of how Anakin became Vader? Like him cucking Ani so hard Ani murdered him own wife, the younlingcide, the whole high ground gambit, "noooooooo", etc. I feel like Luke wouldn't want to redeem the guy who did that, might even laugh at him.

It had the most interesting dynamic of any lightsaber duel in Star Wars. Vader having to face the fact that he's replaceable to the Empire while both try to turn Luke to the dark side, the way Luke only gives in once he sees that the rebels are losing, the fact that Vader is impressed by his son but also hurting. It's all so interesting.

Berserker Luke is my eternal GOAT movie scene. And I know it's pretty much all thanks to the music

It's so weird that there are now people who think he always said that. I've gone through so many emotions trying to cope with it. I can't fucking believe he did that. And it was one of the last things he did before selling Star Wars to Disney. It almost makes me wish he had sold it a little bit earlier. At least they wouldn't have done something like that to the original trilogy. It was the best scene in the entire saga and now I can't even watch it anymore. It's too infuriating.

I recently played both the 360 and Wii versions and I never saw that shit, so I don't even know why this convo happened.

>>219854420
Revenge of the Sith isn't cannon to me because of how ridiculous the story is. The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones made sense and flowed well despite their flaws. They could have at least been trimmed up. With Revenge of the Sith, there's no good story buried in there. It just needed an entirely different script. It was marketed as the movie that would finally show how Anakin became Vader and it didn't really do that, so I just feel like it kind of exist. Star Wars cannon to me is IV-VI and I and II. How Anakin finally became Vader remains a mystery to me.

The worst part is I can't find the 1997 version fucking ANYWHERE
It's either oldfags wanting the pure theatrical version of ROTJ, which is fair, or the fucking terrible 2011 version. Even the 2004 version with Hayden Christiansen pissed me off. I like Yub Nub but Victory was arguably better work on John William's part and I grew up with the 97 version, I prefer my Death Stars with ring explosions.

>>
>>219854624
It always bothered me how easily Palpy got Ani to kill people for him. I mean, Ani didn't even know for sure Padme would die, he didn't envision that. He just went along with murdering people because...war changes you? That could have been interesting if it took a Metal Gear approach but the movies never bothered. He never even seemed disturbed by war/constant fighting at all, never even brings it up. I guess he was just a psycho all along?
>>
because it shows the extent of his power, his rage, and reveals that despite both of those things, he still has restraint, compassion, and mercy. it establishes that through everything he has been through, he has come out of it as a true hero.

>>
>>219854800
I really think the reason he made Vader say no in Return of the Jedi is because he said it before cutting off Mace Windu's hand in Revenge of the Sith and he wanted to make a parallel. So he was ruining a good movie so that it would resemble a bad movie. He should have tried to make Revenge of the Sith match Return of the Jedi better, but he couldn't do that, so instead he had a ridiculous lightsaber duel over lava to compensate for the lack of tension.
>>
>>219854835
If he had made the prequels better, he would have had to fuck up the best scene in the saga to make it match this one tiny little detail. Anakin doesn't even strike me as the good version of Vader. He has none of the wit or intelligence that he has. He's intelligent in that he's good with mechanics, since I guess mechanics are the smartest people on earth. The prequels should have shown Anakin actually being intelligent and knowing what people are thinking or why they're doing things like Vader in the original trilogy, except good. Don't just be like "he built C3P0, so he's smart."

>>
>>219855001
It's so ridiculous because earlier on the same day he turned to the dark side, he was trying to help get Palpatine arrested, and within an hour, he's suddenly okay with killing children who know him by name. It makes no sense. When he kneels down to become a Sith, it's like there's a missing scene. That's why I feel like the movie doesn't really exist. It's not an actual story, it's characters being moved into place to set up a movie that takes place afterwards. I really feel like I was cheated out of seeing a real episode III. Like I said, I and II are fine as far as the story goes. They seem perfectly logical as far as what's actually happening. III doesn't even feel like a real story to me. There's a lot of stuff I find annoying about that movie that's more inconsequential, like the battle droids being used for full on slapstick instead of being the perfect mix of intimidating and comical like they were in I and II (I swear at one point they use Jar Jar's voice for one of the battle droids while it's being killed,) but it's the complete non-movie that it is that makes me just disregard it completely. Unfortunately, we never actually got an episode III. That's how I look at it.
>>
Its the mournful choir surging in the background during the onslaught; it was a recording that was very hard to locate until the internet came along.
>>
>>219855001
I thought it was so weird how he wasn't out fighting the war in episode III and was instead just kicking around Coruscant for almost the entire movie. When the clone wars are shown in that movie, it feels like more of a distraction, moving away from Anakin. I thought for sure before III came out that it was going to be a full on movie, not this weird biopic. Attack of the Clones ends with the outbreak of the clone war, so I thought III was just going to be a lot more of that.

this whole debacle could've been avoided if it was established that the dark side corrupts your mind and clouds your judgement and it takes skill to wield it and not turn into a complete lunatic. like palpatine was trained in the dark side and could plan all his intricate schemes with clear mind while anaking embraced it for the first time and it completely overwhelmed him

I think it's more that his love for his family and friends is what brings him to the light, and that in turn inspires Vader to do the same. Vader threatening Leia obviously sends him into a homicidal rage because he loves her, but as soon as he collects himself, he realizes trading the love of his father for the love of his sister isn't right. The moment where he looks at Vader's severed hand and then to his own is as much an affirmation that they're father and son (similar to the Dagobah cave scene in Empire) as much as it is a warning of what will happen to Luke if he gives in to the dark side. Vader is his father, and he senses a mutual love in him, so he won't abandon him.
>>
>>219854415
Well she is descended from the evilest man alive. They should've had her crash out entirely and kill everyone and become the succubus empress of the universe. That would've been equally stupid but exponentially more entertaining compared to the real ending.

How come Anakin murdering a bunch of children is treated like such a minor thing?

Obi Wan struggles to even utter the words while Padme doesn't even believe it. That scene was horribly acted though.
>>
>>219854126
Empire is severely overrated. It's still a 10/10 level film, but people act like it mogs the original, and even Return, when it doesn't. The original is just as good of a film.
>>
>>219856084
But Obi-Wan believes Anakin can be redeemed, it's not like he stole something, what he did was irredeemable
>>
>>219855001
Within a couple of hours of turning to the dark side for a chance to MAYBE save his wife (but not right now) he is willing to massacre children en masse. It's pretty poorly escalated.

About what? Not being recognized enough? About his mom dying? Well it makes literally no sense they didn't just buy her after the first movie so it's another giant plothole.
>>
>>219856176
meh, even if you don't include the prequels, destroying Alderaan meant killing a lot more children than Anakin did at the temple so Vader isn't off the hook if you just stick to the originals either. I guess with the Death Star Vader didn't pull the trigger, he was just there.
>>
>>219855777
Meanwhile Luke in the sequels has a "bad feeling" about his nephew (the son of his sister and best friend) and decides to kill him in his sleep... or something
>>
>>219856820
It takes many people to make a film and the group of people who made the original films were a very different group from the ones who made the prequels.
>>
>>219856839
And being held back. Being a real person who wasnt indoctrinated early enough to truly accept their doctrine too, and everything you mention. The mother issue wasn't a plot hole, it was another example of the jedi being so disconnected from regular people. If qui gon had lived that wouldnt have happened. Qui gon and Luke were the only true jedi
>>
>>219856872
>destroying Alderaan meant killing a lot more children than Anakin did at the temple
That's completely different than personally killing children who know you by name. Even understanding that the latter results in less death, a non-psychopath would have a harder time doing that. It certainly isn't the kind of thing you do on your first day of being evil.
>>
>>219857127
If the jedi are that retarded it's just going to be a crappy story all around, and completely defeats the purpose of the original trilogy, so another giant problem with the prequels
>>219857122
Ya and star wars isn't just great because of the story, though the story is good, it's the ship and world designs, costume designs, alien designs, musical score especially, and special effects
>>
>>219857420
You're correct it makes literally no sense for Anakin Skywalker, or any person, to behave how Anakin does in Revenge of the Sith. People claiming this is the good one are really strange to me
>>
>>219857460
>>219857420
That said I still say Vader is pretty hard to redeem, but as
>>219855777
pointed out, he is still redeemable to Luke in the last bit of the third movie. And clearly things done by "anakin" and done by "vader" are a bit different.
>>
>>219857440
>completely defeats the purpose of the original trilogy,
Not at all. There's a reason there are only 2 jedi left and they're hiding out in the middle of nowhere. They fucked up really badly. Mostly yoda.
>>
>>219857614
They can't be as stupid as the prequels need them to be for the plot to make any sense at all and still keep the characters that existed in the originals intact.
>>
>>219857653
>>219857653
They can. Yoda and obi wan had 20 years to think about how they personally fucked up and the jedi as a whole.

I can't think of anybody that criticizes anything with Luke and Vader. It's just that the rest of the movie is goofy and inconsequential. It's tonally bizarre to have Ewoks juxtaposed against pure absolute kino with Luke on the Death Star.
>>
>>219852650
Considering he has basically a mechanical lung, I imagine he just got so exhausted he could barely breathe and then fell down, he's he's also a very old man. At least as old as Obi-Wan, plus having multiple physical disabilities.
>>
>>219857810
Vader is a lot less agile than anakin. He relies on being a tank with raw force power. Luke has the same level of power and youth and added rage at that moment on his side. Vader was old and conflicted, his heart wasnt in it.
>>
>>219857719
I do not agree, but it's not totally impossible. That doesn't let the prequels off for their dogshit storytelling though. If the story and characters were good in the prequels everything else would be fine

>>219857882
the ewok battle scenes are not great but the ewok village celebration and theme is amazing. Definitely should not have been ewoks though

The opening at Jabba's is obviously stupid if you think about it even a bit, but I still find it a very fun part of the film.

What's stupid about it? It's definitely one of the best parts of the entire trilogy for me
>>
>>219857810
The EU causes this, both the new and old. Anakin being an amazing duelist is completely fine. The idea that Vader was some giga-godlike fighter that just raped everyone and everything is what makes it stupid.

The force is guiding Luke's actions so stuff goes as he believes it will. Jabba is totally insignificant to his story and no matter what happens he's going to easily save his friends from him. It demonstrates how far he's come from the first film when things were often outside of his control
>>
Great thread by the way, adult discussion about a movie

It's rare that I can agree with all points made - especially those explaining why the throne room scene is so great.

I also agree that the entire movie wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. The attack against the death star, the trap by Palpatine, the heroism that breaks the huge star destroyer, similar to the bismarck... the entire, very easily readable space war (as opposed to the prequels) was always just pure excitement for me

Never seen a space battle as cool and as understandable as that.
>>
>>219858181
NTA but besides the fact that the entire plan they have makes no sense, Jabba's Palace is essentially a separate movie. Remove it and absolutely nothing changes about the main story, and you also lose no valuable information.
>>
>>219858339
2nd battle of endor is so fucking good. The music in the prequels gets a lot of praise but it's really not as good as what was in the originals, probably because Williams was scoring a much worse movie

Vader by RotJ is old af, unsure about what he wants and conflicted
Luke in that moment wants a singular thing above all else (protect Leia)
It's a flashback one of those moments where Anakin lost it because his family was hurt (Shmi's death, Padme in danger, Ahsoka in jail, Mortis). That shit put him on demon time, nothing in the galaxy could withstand being between him and that goal

in regards to the rey mary sue argument this is why i don't get the rebuttal of
>b-but luke was good at the force instantly too!
no! fuck no! look at this shit. he's just swinging his saber like a fucking bat with nails on it. he's a dumbass and that's why we love him

>>219852370
its has the peak fight and moment but the weakest entry isolated
>>
>>219854126
its the empire ending being so good, but ANH i go back to with harmy very often, very comfy, i hope harmy becomes the default way to consume star wars for everyone everywhere

He did do some crazy stuff like blowing up the death star in the A New Hope, but it took multiple tries, and he was already a trained pilot/dogfighter. Add in some luck, and it makes sense. Empire was just him constantly overestimating himself and getting humbled, almost jeopardizing everything. Return even starts out with him getting captured because he was too cocky and resorted to killing the whole criminal organization, a situation he put himself in. He nearly sacrifices himself in Sheev's sex dungeon so he can maybe almost kinda redeem Vader, hopefully. He accomplishes great things ultimately but takes his licks along the way.

>He doesn't almost fall to the dark side.
>Lashes out in anger, on the verge of killing his father
>Calms himself last minute
That scene is the definition of 'almost'.

This is by far the most insulting change that retard made to the OG trilogy.

Episode 6 would be my favorite movie in the series if not for the fucking Ewoks, I hate them so much, they ruin the entire film. The Empire taken down by fucking teddy bears...wtf was Lucas thinking?!
>>
>>219851263
it's robot skin from when the yeti got him on hoth

>>219852161
nonetheless, Sheev and Vader were autistic enough to think Luke could be turned

George I never doubted you - but please, forgive me.

nta but it's unironically good.

Hell no it's not.
Go read the old Clone Wars Dark Horse comics instead.

What is your issue with it?

Both can exist and be enjoyed on their own merit.

>>219861902
Star Wars is meant to be watched, not read. I couldn't care less for dull off-brand tie in shit.

>>219861917
Contradicts the PT, is generally lame and Ahsoka is a shit character.

Both can exist, but the CWMMP is better by miles and does a better job feeling like an actual conflict.
>>
>>219861954
>Contradicts the PT
not necessarily a bad thing since they failed to really flesh anything out in the movies
>is generally lame
sometimes, but other times kino, definitely written with a younger audience in mind
>Ahsoka is a shit character
counterpoint: orange space midriff

>>219862026
TCW didn't do anything the PT didn't already do. It's derivative.
Most of the time it's lame because it's treated like the kid cartoon it is. TCWfags only ever remember the handful of "good" moments and conveniently forget all the shit it's surrounded by, which is why they had to make a watch guide for it in order for it to be somewhat palpable.
>appeal to coom
No wonder you think it's good.

kek that should be recognized as a logical fallacy

It's not how you guys think. They don't think they're going to make Luke experience some bad emotions and then ask him to join the dark side for him to immediately be like "mwahahahaha, of course! Let's go do some evil shit!"
The idea is that in a moment of fear, anger and weakness he will relent and submit himself to their control as he fears that if he doesn't then he and his friends will die. From there he'll be a broken man who will do their bidding, regardless of whether he wants to or not and eventually they'll indoctrinate him to their cause.

He only directed the original star wars and all three films had people working alongside him to wrangle his ideas. Knowing his strength probably wasn't in directing, George wanted other people to direct the prequels to turn his creative vision into good flicks, but everyone he turned to refused, saying they were his to direct

the music is ethereal. it feels like spirits are lamenting, because Luke is in that moment succumbing to the dark side.

kek busted

It certainly mogs RotJ, which isn't even good. RotJ just looks good in comparison to what followed.
>>
>>219858185
There's also the retarded prequel Chosen One retcon.
>>
>>219864088
And the audience is falling right along with him. It's a moment of heroic triumph and righteous revenge that is simultaneously being re-contextualized as his own moral defeat against an increasingly sympathetic antagonist.
I love it. Goosebumps every time right in that moment.
This whole scene is what makes ROTJ such a great climax.

Buildup and narrative + good music

Can you post a link to the music that plays during this fight? I have no idea what it's called.

How much better of a movie would Jedi be if the Ewok's weren't part of the movie?

You most likely didn't realize this but the shadow on Luke's face shows he's conflicted.
