    “I’m a rhyming Jedi like my Father before me.” Is not only a reference to his line “my father before me” but also because Vader vs Hitler 1-3 is a thing. You should react to those too.

  • @olandir
    @olandir Před 3 lety +752

    Some nice subtle things I think you missed in the duel that just shows their level of attention to detail.
    1) Luke actually aged throughout the rap battle. 1st verse he was his younger self (thus the squeaky voice) from the first movie. and then the 2nd and 3rd verses he was older. He basically represented the transitions through the three movies.
    2) In the second verse when Luke said that Harry "couldn't pull in the win with a tractor beam" he force grabbed Harry's wand and snapped it in half, representing the fact that Harry's wand was broken in the final book. Then in Harry's third verse, he pulled out the elder wand to do his final spell with "Mischief Managed"

      I don't remember if the incantation for it was ever used in the books or movies, but I absolutely remember "Incendio" being used as an incantation for a fire spell in at least one of the Harry Potter games. I feel like there's probably a list on Wikipedia of spells from Harry Potter and each instance said spells are used, so if debating it here isn't good enough for anyone, checking for that would probably be a good idea.

    Caught this like a year later but the "I'm so icy" line from Luke could be a rebuttal to Harry calling him lukewarm. It comes off in his deliverly too where Harry is more hyped up or "on fire." Luke is calmer, cooler, and more chill. Luke isn't trying to be hot, he's tryna be cold asf.

    Great reaction, you caught most of the lines and I loved your analysis. However, just really quickly, there are 3 small lines I think you might have missed (Maybe you did catch them, just thought they were self-explanatory or not worth mentioning). Firstly, Luke starts off his first verse I think with a line about "You better have a bad feeling about this" or something like that, with "I have a bad feeling about this" being a famous star wars quote since it has appeared in every single star wars movie, its kinda like an easter egg. Secondly, at 18:49 during Harry Potter's second verse, he says "So go on, try and FORCE more of your disses" Kind of an obvious one, don't know if you missed it or just thought it wasn't worth mentioning. Finally, at 27:00 Harry Potter says "It's over Luke, I've got the high ground advantage", Obviously referencing the Obi wan/Anakin scene. Again, don't know if you caught it but it was too obvious, or if you missed it. Either way, I love the channel and the reaction and I'm not trying to send hate at all. Have a good day!

    It's Nice Peter that does the intro voice over on the ERBs, would love to see a joint breakdown with Scru Face Jean, he's been breaking these down for a while now. Love the depth you put into these.

    Knox, please react to more of the "Epic Rap Battles of History"! As usual, I loved your reaction and analysis.
    By the way, I am pleasantly surprised! I can't believe that you knew so many details of the fandoms, I think that's it's really cool that you know so much!😊

    I think you're the first reaction video for this ERB who knew in-depth knowledge of both! Props!
    You also the first that I've seen to catch "fantastic on these beats" word play, nice!
