    I remember seeing this back in August of 1983. The moment Vader grabbed the Emperor, the audience started going nuts. And when he chucked him down the reactor shaft, the cheers were so loud & wild, you almost couldn't hear the music anymore. To this day, 40 years later, I still get emotional during this scene.

    For any kids who grew up with a father with an addiction, this scene gets more poingnant over time. We all wished our true dads made the same choice as Vader and threw their Emporer into a chasm. Deep down, we knew it wasn't really our dad shooting the pain at us. Anybody who saw or sees this scene this way, has become a better person for it. Thanks, George.

    Anakin still sticks with his own philosophy seen in the prequels here, his fear of losing a loved one is so big that he would do anything to stop the people he loves from dying, after Padme died he tought he had no one left in the universe, thus making him fully convert into Vader, remember he thinks Obi-Wan is a traitor and he fears Palpatine, but never truly likes him, but when he met Luke, the whole sentiment he had for his loved ones back in the prequels kicked right in, and he finally realised that Palpatine was the true menace that was trying to kill his family, and he finally realized he was wrong this whole time, and died as Anakin regretting every single choice he made as Vader

    I could only imagine what it would have been like to be a kid during these movies. The hero you've grown to admire is completely defenseless and suffering and he's alone. You try imagining ways he'll get out because the hero always wins, but there's only him and two really evil bad guys in the room and his friends aren't even on the same ship. And then suddenly the imposing villain of three movies that scared you whenever he came on screen saves your hero. And now you have to work out what happened and maybe you start to believe there can still be good in bad people like Luke did.

      ​@@jonnyfevertv3170 Yeah im a Young Adult now and I can't really find anybody that stands out, but I think that's okay, Star Wars is amazing, and I enjoy it every year with my Dad who grew up with it, but in current day media I think things start to lean towards creating your own person within fictional universes instead of embodying a specific character. Take the Spiderverse movies, they are amazing movies that should be considered art and you see people creating their own spiderman with a unique twist that represents them.
      Despite this though (in terms of star wars), I think a lot of people from my generation look up to Hayden Cristensen and Ewen McGregor as they were like our 'Luke and Vader' growing up, (and Hayden literally plays Anakin/Vader really well).
      Also screw the sequels, they do not compare at all to the OG or even the prequels in terms of storytelling (prequels got weird with CGI but they got better in the 2nd and 3rd installments haha)

      I mean Star Wars takes multiple really cool approaches to endings. Revenge of the Sith was another awesome idea where not only do the good guys “lose,” but they also get massacred as we see our favorite characters either die or have everything taken from them. And it’s not even like Infinity War where everyone comes back to life later; in ROTS, everyone stayed dead and were only avenged about 30 years later.

    Thank you for uploading this clip. I wasn't born yet in 1983 but I'll never forget the emotions while watching this scene for the first time. In the action movies there's usually the fight between the good guy(s) and the bad guy(s) at the end. This was the first time when I saw the good guy refusing to fight. It was something completely new for me. I was shocked and legit afraid Luke would die, that was something I had never felt before about any other protagonist. Vader's sacrifice was another thing I didn't see coming. It was a huge surprise, but what an amazing one! I was so used to seeing happy endings in other movies, that I was in complete awe of this beautiful bittersweet ending. Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie, no other movie made me so emotional.

    You know, you have to imagine what's going through the audience's mind at this very moment in time. Up until then, we hadn't really seen the Emperor or even knew how powerful he was. Hell, we didn't even know force lightning was a thing until VI. The audible gasps give an indication of the shock many must have felt in the moment, and the crying and the screams of terror of what's unfolding before them - _Will Luke die?? Is Vadar gonna let this happen??_ It's impactful moments like these that really make a film memorable and/or good. And then the clapping at the end when Vadar, at the cost of his life, picks up Palpatine and throws him off the balcony - they're rooting for the now-redeemed villain.
    Truly, Star Wars was something else.

      Force was not so forceful in that period 😁Biggest trick was tossing things around, rest was the lightsaber combat and Emperor did not have any. We all expected he would do something, but no one expected he would totally overpower Luke. Luke was built up by Episode VI, and he was shown to be powerful Jedi, seconds before beating Vader. Thus him being on the floor, helpless, pleading his father to help him (father whom he just humiliated ), made enormous contrast and impact on audience.

      @@aleksazunjic9672 The Emperor was very skilled in lightsaber combat, it's just in the original trilogy according to the later canon, he thought lightsaber combat to either be barbarous or that he just wanted to conceal himself as a Sith Lord to the galaxy population. The only Jedi that put up a fight against Sidious were Mace Windu, and Yoda. Had Vader not burned on Mustafar and put into a life support suit, Vader could've put up a fight against Sidious as well.
      The broader population never really saw Palpatine after the Empire was founded. They were aware of his rule, but never really saw him. Like did the Empire really put up propaganda posters on buildings with Darth Vader or himself on them? Not any that I saw. He became recluse and studied the dark side in secret which only Darth Vader really knew.

Force Lightning was never hinted, Jedi were shown to move things around with the Force and that was it. In combat they used lightsabers. Yoda also did not have one, but he was shown as hermit, sort of old monk- sensei known from eastern marshal arts movies.

    It never even crossed my mind that this is how they would do it at all, much less in a way that worked for everyone.

    I think that we get a greater appreciation of Anakin's motivation for his rescue of Like here in Return of the Jedi after we also watched Anakin in the Prequels. In Attack of the Clones, Anakin received visions of his mother dying and not being there to save her, and in Revenge of the Sith he foresaw the death of Padme during childbirth. He lived with decades of regret and he couldn't permit himself to fail his son now.

    Between 1982 and 83, I saw both E.T. and Return of The Jedi in theatres, twice. Both had endings that have remained with me since I was that 7 year old sitting in the theatre, awe struck. I can still remember the audience gasping when the Emperor began electrifying Luke Skywalker, and loudly cheering when Vader picks up the Emperor and throws him. Audiences also cheered when those bicycles flew at the end of E.T. and I cried. These are just beautiful vivid memories. Much like Disney, The Wizard of Oz, or Singin In The Rain enhanced the imaginations of my parent's and grandparents' childhoods, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg did the same for the imaginations of 70s/ 80s kids.

    Hard-core fans all!
    The emotion of the patrons in the theater as this scene built was palpable!
    When Vader lunged forward, grabbed the Emperor and flung him over the railing, there was a roar the likes of which we thought would bring the roof down!!

    Such a good quality for a videotape from the 80s, I would have liked to be there, I already assumed the audience would applaud when Vader grabbed the Emperor from behind. You can tell that this audience feels the same as I do when they watched this scene, I feel pain listening to Luke's screams, and I always liked how Ian McDiarmid delivers each line of his, an incredible performance, he's the only Emperor Palpatine. Also when Palpatine is killed and we see all those ghostly shadows, amazing vfx from 1983, after ESB, ROTJ has the best visual effects from the OT.

      Let me break this down:
      1. The quality is extremely high for something filmed in the 1980s. In that alone, this is already a suspicious video. The person who uploaded the video tries to account for this lapse in logic by putting in the description that a 'local news segment' filmed the audience reaction, but I'm calling bullshit on two accounts.
      a) It's a felony to record movies in the theatre, period. No exceptions.
      b) As another commentor mentioned, there's people making meme noises.
      2. The uploader claims that this clip was a 'newly discovered clip,' and yet it's nowhere else on the internet. Are we actually supposed to believe that the guy who's already posted audience reactions to Star Wars movies in the past and constantly indulges in Star Wars stuff on his CZcams channel is the finder and sole possessor of this film footage? Isn't it interesting that the uploader provides no details for the film footage as it exists today? Just conveniently, all of the details provided cannot be factually verified or checked?
