He then sacrificed himself to save his son's life, he attacked out of love for his son, not hate for the Emperor.

"They exchanged the other actor, Sebastian Shaw, with Hayden Christensen as the force ghost" She (VKunia) could already see this, she asked WHY they did it. The answer is simply that Lucas is an idiot with an irresistible penchant for changing things just because he has the power to. Once you go down that road you might as well replace all Alec McGuinness's force ghost appearances with re shoots using Ewan McGregor, or replace puppet Yoda with CG Yoda. The truly sad thing is that I've no doubt Lucas did consider exactly those steps - but he's well aware that if he changed Obi Wan's force appearance it would cause a real breakdown amongst the fans. I just hate that Sebastian Shaw was so disrespected by Lucas that he could so easily cast aside his only appearance in the film. It's just so petty and adds nothing to the film - soulless would be an understatement, whatever artistic instincts he had when he made ANH were long gone by the time he did the special 'editions', let alone the DVD alterations.

A thing to remember is that before this film, there WAS no Force lightning. The only things we'd seen the Force do were subtle things, like sensing a presence, semi-hypnotic suggestion and some light telekinesis (or heavy, in Yoda's case). The Emperor pulling out the lightning was an unexpected corruption of the power of the Force, representing his power and his evil. That's why I always disliked it appearing in so much other Star Wars media (eg. the video games). It trivialized what was supposed to be perceived as the ultimate power, the ultimate evil.

Because lots of his frustration and anger came from feeling put aside and not having the respect he wanted. But those are what if's. 😅 But you can also say that he turned for the best at the end and therefore should still be depicted as the older anakin.

19:12 Blocking Luke's attack on the Emperor wasn't to protect Palpatine, it was to protect Luke. If the Emperor thought that Vader wasn't going to protect him, he would protect himself. That means using lightning. Vader had battled with Luke before. He knows he is no match for the Emperor. Vader tells Luke to join him so they can destroy the Emperor. When he said that he didn't mean "Hey! I'm going to kill the Emperor by myself do you want to be my new number two?" He meant "If you join me and let me train you in the Dark Side we might have enough strength to overpower the Emperor." Really, the only way that Vader was able to kill the Emperor was because he was distracted from torturing Luke. Even then the Emperor was able to mortally wound Vader. So in conclusion, Vader blocked Luke's lightsaber because he had no chance at actually killing the Emperor. If the Emperor felt that his life was actually in danger he would have easily killed Luke.

I remember watching the first two at home, all the iconic scenes. And that some kid stole my little Yoda toy I had back then.

4:35 what always amazes me (especially in this film) is that a lot of the big landscape shots are matte paintings on glass shower doors. Any moving parts were filmed separately then projected in to gaps in the paint and then refilmed so that they fit seamlessly into the painting.

This version of the original trilogy, often called the Special Edition, has been altered by George Lucas - so when the original trilogy came out, there were a few differences to what you watched. In fact, over the years there's been numerous alterations to the original movies as Computer Graphic technology improved. The original special effects (which you were right using) were all practical effects, made with miniatures, blue/green screen projection, matte paintings (some of the incredible shots were hand painted onto glass! A lot of the Death Star shots were painted - even the scene where the Emperor arrives on the Death Star, only a fraction of the Imperials in the scene were there, the rest were painted in later) and some other techniques like rotor scoping. It's really cool to look into the making of the originals to see some of the incredible techniques used. This is about all three original trilogy movies. As Computer Graphics improved George decided to go back and tinker with the original movies (George had created the effects powerhouse ILM for Star Wars and they have worked on too many movies to count). Some changes, while dated by today's graphic standards, added some new action to scenes like the attack on the Death Star, while other changes were ...questionable, namely the infamous "Han Shot First" - where in the original version of A New Hope's Cantina scene, Han shot Greedo before the bounty hunter had a chance to shoot Han - setting up Han as no nonsense rogue without the moral standings of Luke. The newer versions, George wanted Han to be more redeemable, less cold hearted at this stage in the movie, so changed it so that Greedo shot first and Han "dodged" it or they fired at the same time. Another questionable change was in this movie with Darth Vader's/Anakin's force ghost. The original movie had the same actor who played Darth with the helmet removed, which makes more sense. George changed this more recently after the prequel movies to a younger Anakin. Some fans who had already seen the movies didn't love a lot of these changes, and also noted that the then new CG was quickly dated as our understanding of how to render better worlds grew. You can really see the difference with the Jaba scene in A New Hope, or the Sarlac pit's "venus fly trap" mouth thing - neither sit well next to the real footage. The story is basically the same and its still enjoyable though. There are some fantastic making of documentaries for the George Lucas era of Star Wars, that show warts and all. They're really interesting, seeing how of school effects were pioneered as well as early CG - and as much flack as the CG gets, both these special editions and the prequel movies were instrumental in allowing the seamless CG we see in movies these days

Just a small correction: Rotoscoping is the term. not rotor scoping. Just to get the terminology correct. that's all. Also the prequels were on the cutting edge because they helped pioneer digital filmmaking. That's why Episode II and III have a different feel/visual quality than the OT and Ep I. Feels almost smoother and dreamier than the clarity film does in high definition. Hard to explain but the point is Ep II was filmed entirely digitally which made the post-production and editorial work quicker. Nowadays filmmaking has gone more toward digital with holdouts like Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg still preferring physical film. Just wanted to add this to the discussion about SE and Prequel pioneering.

To me the reason Vader stops Luke from killing Palpatine isn't actually because he wants to protect Palpatine, it's because he wants to stop Luke from going down the same path that he did. Not only does that make his return to the light that much better to me, but I also believe it fits his character at that point because of how soft and sad he was showing himself to be, which only started coming out as he interacted with Luke more

Well, the stormtroopers came out of an Academy originally. Luke was getting ready to apply at the beginning of Episode IV, it was his need to help work on his Uncle Owen's farm that prevented it. So at some point, at least a portion of the Imperial troops were volunteers and not conscripted against their will. Like all academies, I assume there would have been an interview at some point in the application process.

@@danimalplanimal Look up Harmy's Despecialized Edition; it's the closest thing to watching the trilogy in its original format as released in theatres (the original theatrical releases have never been released in HD), but in the highest possible quality given the available sources. (There's also Team Negative 1's projects 4K77, 4K80, and 4K83, which in theory should be even closer for the most part - they're cleaned up direct 4K scans of the original films -, but 4K80, the Episode V restoration, isn't finished yet, and other projects like the Despecialized Edition might _look_ better; ideally Harmy or someone else should remake the despecialized edition using Team Negative 1's work as a basis, but that'd be an awful lot of work).

How about that...she had no idea who it was. Maybe it shouldn't have been changed. Bad story telling. The ONLY argument that supports it is fundamentally flawed anyway. The Vader plot in RoTJ was that there was still good in him, and he ultimately sought redemption. "you were right about me...." Ergo at the point of his death, he was good again. So it is complete nonsense in every way for his force ghost to be Hayden Christensen.
