In hindsight, the other "audience reaction" video should've been obvious as a fake from the start. Camera equipment was still in the VHS phase in 1980, who's gonna be able to sneak something that big and bulky into a theater? Plus there were no real signs of age or tape hiss like in this one.

In time, the few who denied Vader was Luke's father came around to it (and those people were a minority group, the adults who denied thought Vader was lying as part of his evil plans, and many of that denile group were also children too as the idea of Vader being Luke's father was scary, this was documented at the time, but these people didn't "hate the movie" for it or claim it was badly made) , but the Prequels and Sequels remain to be universallly disliked by many fans because of bad writing, execution, plot, etc. Of which such complaints never arose for the OT. The PT of course is more liked today, but this is a side effect of the ST being so bad, they make the PT look good in retrospect. But their flaws are still there and are pointed out.

Even for 1980, the Stars Wars trilogy still holds up today to even modern CGI. Just great props and cinematography. That's why everyone can watch this movie over and over until the end of time and people will only watch the modern tribology just once or twice and never see it again.

I was like, "wait, what...NO, it can't end now!!".

I saw the ESB when I was fourteen when in it was released. Every time a main character appeared on the screen for the first time the audience erupted into applause. And when Luke's had his hand lopped off there was a collective "Oh my God!" Finally, Vader's revelation felt like a punch in the stomach.

My guess is Lucas just had his own preferences for dialogue, and didn't like some of the ad libs Kershner did on set. Lucas was going to use "I love you too" instead of "I know" until Kershner proved to him that test audiences liked it. Kershner filmed both the scripted lines and ad libs in different takes.

The reactions are moderate and honest unlike today where it’s just euphoria for the sake of it

I have a cassette recording my father made when we went to see Empire Strikes Back in theaters with audience reaction. I can't wait to find it and digitize it.

It's awesome how nobody reacted to I am ur father bc when u are in shock u dont say anything. What a moment I wish I was alive to see. I saw Rotj but I was 2. I do remember the audienc2 going nuts when Vader threw the emperor. This is awesome & historic thank u I also remember we saw esb when it was re released b4 jedi & my dad carried me out sobbing at the end bc of han solo being put in carbonite & Luke's hand. Its s very somber ending with just a hint of hope in the music. I honestly have these memories at 2 or so & why star wars meant so much is how it connected to our lives. A memory of my dad holding me as I sobbed over a movie scene is something that I cant forget. He was like 27 & in his prime . Love u dad. And I loved jedi bc its awesome but also going with my parents & brother & everyone standing applauding. We went to see my nana & I have a memory of my big brother & I excitedly telking her the whole movie & I remember this smile on her face looking at my uncle like " look at these two they are out of breath excited" she is long passed, & I miss her so much. But this is the magic of star wars great films & how it intertwined with our lives. That's why I guess I could not appreciate the prequels as an 18 year old . But the kids who watched & grew up with them I totally get that. But to me star wars is special bc even adults loved it too. Older people everyone. But I get why being a child makes these special. But the movies have to be at least good bc no kids took to the new ones. My friends & I got our kids pumped up for tfa my son 4 my little one only 1 so , not appropriate. He liked it but today he was taken to the next 2 & they have no impact on him . Not to his peers either. That's the problem with these new films. If they were good as well u care. These ones mean nothing to him or his entire grade. But marvel does. Bc they were well done films. He is like me in telling me about marvel infinity. It's not my thing but it's his. All the kids voted for it as their favorite movie . It's sad bc star wars really could have been this multi generational film. Like me taking my kids to the newest trilogy , I think how cool if they were good would it be that I at their ages saw the og trilogy. TfA I thought was so terrible. If they had one reunion scene of han luke & leia it would have been wonderful closure & passing of the torch . Instead luke shares not one scene with his sister & bff? Why bring them back ? I was so pissed when han died & luke was nowhere to be seen. Not even a line . Wtf

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out since “Darth Vader” directly translates into German as “Dark Father”. . .

No matter what Disney do to destroy the name of Star Wars, it's important that we continue to remember that there was a time when these movies were still pure and important. Disney can't ever take away how we felt (and should still feel) about the original trilogy.

"The Empire Strikes Back was filmed before a live studio audience..."

As someone who saw this in theaters in 1980 opening weekend, I can confirm we sat there in stunned silence at the twist.

In 1980, the practice was still in effect of releasing the biggest movies to the biggest theaters in the city and then rolling them out to the suburbs after 2 - 4 weeks. We stood in line for the second night showing for an hour. Luckily, there was no social media and social spoilers. When the plot twist was revealed, the sold out large theater of about 1000+ people fell COMPLETELY silent in their shock. No one reacted until applause when the Falcon finally jumped to hyper speed. GREAT moment! I have to say though, when the credits jumped on the screen, there was a sudden collective groan from half the audience with frustration over Han's fate, knowing they'd just witnessed a cliff hanger and would have to wait THREE years for the next installment.

it was this clear back then

I’m 15 and when I first heard this like when I was 5-8 I don’t know how I reacted. My guess, I was as quiet as this audience. Like it’s shocking as hell, but it’s SO shocking that you just shut up.

HelloGreedo has sent me here. This was great.

I love how the audience is audibly unsure how to feel about Han and Leia at the start and by the time of their kiss at the Falcon they've embraced it. That's how you know the writing is solid :)

I remember an audience reaction from when the trology was re released. Some idiot said you've seen it on TV! It's a struggle to sit through

HelloGreedo brought me here

Yeah, I wasn't shocked when Vader reveled himself to Luke because my idiot friend, who had read the novelization prior to the movies release, ran up to me on the school playground yelling "Darth Vader is Luke's father!!!". I still haven't forgiven him.

Happy Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you.

Great sound

2:47 My favorite line 😆

Fun fact: the Leia/Luke kiss was unscripted. Mark Hamill was caught completely by surprise, and his reaction to it is what we see.

No it wasnt, there are multiple out takes of that scene

No other movie franchise starts and ends the way the Star Wars movies do. I’m not talking about the opening crawl. I mean like the main title “STAR WARS” suddenly appearing and the end credits suddenly starting after the circular swipe. (Wasn’t sure what to call it)

History.

I don't think you'll ever catch the magic again of the original 3 movies

Great vid dude. Finally someone not posting fake stuff.

Disney needs to release a version with audience reactions 😂

And here's me keeping all knowledge of Star wars from my children until they're old enough to fully comprehend it. 2 more years should be enough!

What I remember about the im your father scene is... is how quiet it was.

I really wish one of these real audio ones existed for Return of the Jedi

What about the prequels and Disney movies

My parents told me that the audience reaction to "I am your father" at their theater (in Los Angeles, so they got it before pretty much anyone else, back in the days before internet) was an audible *gasp* from everyone in attendance. And a discussion after, whether Vader was telling the truth. My Dad always thought he was telling the truth since "Darth Vader" more or less directly translated to "Dark Father." But he was as caught by surprise as everyone else. Given the culture now, I don't think anyone can be caught by surprise with that information now.

Forget it, guys. We won’t get an OFFICIAL audience reaction to this film. If I were a time traveller, I would definitely go back to 1980 and record it.
