I like how the reimagining captures Darth Vader’s canonical fighting style. You can feel he swings his lightsaber hard and his strikes are very aggressive. He’s fighting with a controlled and focused rage at Obi-Wan while he just deflects and parries, only striking when he has an opening.

You mentioned a facial smirk at 5:48. The hint of a smile is because: A) Obi Wan sees Luke and Leia together for the first time since their birth. B) Obi Wan is the only one who is totally aware of Anakin's, Luke's and Leia's relationship to each other.

Vader is really fighting like he's still pissed about being thrown in the lava, it's great

the part where they flashed back to Anakins defeat always got me. You could feel the sadness and hate between the two of them in those last moments.

I get chills watching this 🔥🔥🔥 The voice overs, the absolute *Rage* in Vader's strikes, Vader's extensive use of the aggressive Form V Lightsaber Form (his preferred Form Djem So/Shien [The Way of the Krayt Dragon]), the fight choreography--everything. If you look closer, Obi Wan keeps the point of his lightsaber blade as a threat to Vader nearly all the time when retreating, like a real life swordsman.

In Battlefront 2 when you play with Obi-Wan and there is a Darth Vader on the opposing team, he will tell his old friend: "You are more machine than man now"

I was honestly re-watching this yesterday, so glad you guys finally got to see this. It's epic!

I especially like what they did with the end, where it's not the door closing that stops Vader: it's him still sensing Obi-Wan and not understanding what's going on (plus the plan to track the Falcon back to the rebel base). Cause let's face it: Vader could rip that door right out of the wall if he wanted to.

Just listening to the dialogue from Episode 3 in the background when Anakin saying "I hate you!" and the "You were my brother Anakin I loved you" from Obi Wan had me almost cry and gave me goosebumps. Ik a lot of people don't like the prequels but when they have there moments it sticks.

Rogue One takes place about two decades after the events depicted in Revenge of the Sith and just before those in a New Hope - which means 11 years after the Gorse Conflict and four before Operation Cinder.

I could literally listen to you two geek out for hours. Best reaction channel there is. You know when to talk, when to react and when to let the footage shine.

if you love star wars i STRONGLY RECOMMEND "Maul - Hatred" its a masterpiece

I noticed you didn't use headphones or earbuds, so two things might have escaped your notice: First, "You were the Chosen One!!" right at the end is NOT the only Ep. 3 dialogue voiced-over as a memory. Listen close after Obi-Wan Pushes Vader. Second, listening even more carefully between the closure of the Blast Doors and "Run Luke, run!" There is the sound of a Force Push, but nothing moves. These guys answer a question I've had for decades: Why doesn't the raging psycho murder-borg get through the door and kill the fleeing rebels??? "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." I think we hear a Force Push because Vader is trying to rip open the blast doors, but the now "stricken down" Kenobi is counter-pushing, thus nothing moves, keeping the Psycho-Cyborg out of the hanger... that's why they have him saying "...Kenobi..."

watch "the chosen one" all about the conflict within vader and his journey to the darkside to save padme, its really quite emotive! anyway keep up the great work guys! youre killin it!!!!

They have to add this to the original film, that would be so awesome! Thank you for reacting to it 🙏

I love watching reactions to this remake thanks for posting this

I love how this ties with the fighting style of episode 3 and with the small voice overs as well. Another video I think you two might like is called “Before the dark times” by MrRazNZ. It’s when “Ben” first meets Luke and talks about his past/Luke’s father.

Now if they would've thought about adding this kind of scene for Star Wars Episode IV, then it would still be made with the newest backgrounds of each scenes was created!👍🏿👌🏿

This is an awesome reaction. I'm a lifelong starwars fan (old enough to remember watching the original at the cinema with my Pops). I only saw this vid for the first time a few weeks ago. Now I want to see folks reactions to it, so I know that I'm not a traitor for loving it. It blew my mind at how good it was. It was so nice to see genuine fans enjoying it as much as I did. I guess I wanted reassurance. I got it. Thank you 🙂

luke showed more emotion at a death of a old man he met few hours ago then seeing his aunt and uncle turn into BBQ

Star was sc 38 Reimaginined yesss check out Star Wars trilogy 100% the best reaction ever keep those vids coming close to 29k

I like how it shows some emotion between the two, and how Vader lets Obi-wan stand up, so he can beat him fairly. It shows respect for their prior friendship. (Also, I like that in 2021 Obi-wan is in your auto correct, requiring the hyphen.)

Nice reaction! They captured Vader's rage very nicely in choreography, which would have been the case very much in the fight. No intricate saber work, just brutal power and hate at what Obi-wan represented and reminded him of what was lost. Pretty epic stuff!

I 100% agree the Original Trilogy is the best and Empire Strikes Back is the Best of the Best. Awesome reaction. I cannot wait to watch more videos from you both.

I love this so much, it was done so well. Also them adding the voices from the prequels just adds so much to the moment. I would seriously suggest that you watch Vader: Shards of the Past. I think you'll enjoy it. All the best to both of you.

One thing I love most about this. Something that not a lot of people realize. Obi Wan goes toe to toe with Darth Vader at the beginning. But towards the end of the fight Obi-Wan was losing.

I had tears in my eyes when I heard "You were the Chosen One!" with Vader walking off scene.

Amazing reaction!! Definitely a great video!!

I'm a massive star wars fan! Gotta say my favourite is revenge of the sith, followed closely by empire strikes back. I would highly recommend watching the clone wars TV show as it has some of the best star wars ever. If not on the channel (although that would be amazing) in your own time. Love you guys.

Amazing reaction i loved it. Thank you so much i had a very boring day and this video put a smile in my face .

Glad you and Bethany got to witness this. If you can, there is a Star Wars fan film called "The Apprentice" you should definitely check it out.

Compared to the technology of back then, this can be considered a masterpiece within the series. The fight was pretty much an artistic piece, and the visual effects were naturally way, WAY better than back then. I love Star Wars, man..... The Force will be with us, always.

Definitely a great remaster....DarthMaul Apprentice is an equally epic little flick...love yalls reactions....

There's few enemies that scared me in Star Wars as a child, but being saber-locked with Vader as he says "There is no escape" is mortifying this day.

This really was amazing. I love their attention to the original and the voice overs. Gorgeous. Also I agree with your thoughts on Gandalf. In the book he was way more Wizard with fireballs and exploding power and growing huge etc.

It was beautifully done, with them trying to blend the old scenes with the new and trying to stay loyal to how both Obi-Wan and Vader would fight. Obi-Wan with more fluid agility and Vader with more aggressive strength. But considering both of their age and how much they have grown in the passed twenty or so years, I think they did pretty well in making it overall enjoyable, creative, and close to the lore as best they can!

Episode IV at even a 10 million budget in 1975-76 was cutting it close to the bone in what Lucas could spend, which meant essentially NO stunt doubles for either Prowse or Guinness. Prowse, not a trained.swordsman, was hampered in both vision and movement by the Vader outfit, and Alec Guinness, to be honest, was an old man who (unlike Christopher Lee), had never been a fencing enthusiast, and his stage fighting experience was decades behind him. Also, the "blades" of those lightsabers were particularly fragile-- they just couldn't withstand impact like the later movies.

Hey I hope your day is good I have sent you everything I know for kda at your insta I learned everything yesterday

I still tear up while watching this. They did such a great job with this. If you guys haven't I strongly recommend the Clone Wars show on Disney Plus the first season is a bit slow, but it really picks up.

she on the edge of her seat every sec, love that. 3:16 this was a great reaction XD This kind of joy brings a smile to your face

Awesome reaction, I agree with everything you both said. And that is a great video you had mentioned to about what the Jedi did to the Sith. Gives so much more backstory and understanding, which lends weight to the battles in the movies.

great reaction. I recommend the video of darth maul the apprentice. its a very good video that you will both enjoy

I love this reimagined fight. Once you know their background in the prequels and series, this is how they would throw down -- Vader's anger as he blames Obi-Wan for everything, his loss, his pain. So every swing of the saber is meant to kill and then he just starts punching him. You can feel Vader's anger in this fight with every swing of the saber.

That's just not what LotR is about. If you know how powerful a Balrog is, then you'd be impressed by Gandalf's showing.

Did y’all react to the Shadow of the Republic fan made mini movie?

About the Gandalf power discussion: You mentioned that he should have had that massive magical power scene which would've been cool but Lord of The Rings is a world known as 'Grounded Fantasy' where it still has fictional creatures and elements like dragons, orcs and elves but its still semi realistic and doesn't explore magic as much as High Fantasy genres would. I suppose the only other scene I can think of in LOTR apart from the Balrog bridge section is the end of the Battle of Helm's Deep where Gandalf burst through on top of the hill with the Rohirrim.

I can't speak for Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings but I feel in this reimagining, it makes sense that Obi-wan didn't use abilities or was extremely aggressive. In canon Obi-Wan was a master or lightsabre form 3 which is a very defensive lightsabre form. Also your point on Jedi being more held back and calm is a great one.

God's honest truth, I would absolutely LOVE to see George Lucas' reaction to this, assuming he hasn't seen it yet.

I love how a small couple is growing so fast love you guys

When the music starts idk why but I always get so emotional

Don't forget that another limit to the fight scene filmed in 77 is that the Light Sabers were made of GLASS It wouldn't have survived one strike

That was so really well done!

Thanks for react to this Amazing reimagine scene ☝️☝️

I hope you have the vader fan film shards of the past on your bucket list. It's a gem :)

Keep in mind the original scene was done with CORDED light sabers. That's a lot to work around for a fight, keeping the cord out of view. You can't really throw the thing across the room, if it's plugged in.

See’s channel name in new uploads feed. See’s video they are reacting to, hits like button. Watches video 🍿

A big reason why they don't do a lot of big magic with the Force or with Gandalf is that they are "Soft" magic systems - not really detailed or explained, so if you use it frequently you start to run into the issue of the plot feeling weak if you can just fix things with magic. a lot of "Hard" magic systems like in avatar the last airbender or the Brandon Sanderson Novels there are clearly defined rules where the audience knows what the magic can do vs what it can't do, which allows the characters to use their wits on how to apply the magic to resolve the plot instead of just having Gandalf walk around fixing everything with magic, since the audience doesn't actually know the limits of Gandalf's power. its the same with the force.

You're right, in that this reimagining is probably how it would've been done if A New Hope had been made now. I like the aggression and added mobility in the duel. I think, even older as they both are, and Anakin having to manoeuvre in the suit, it fits with how Jedi Masters would still be able to fight. It's Battle of the Heroes Round 2, but they're too old for flips and jumps now! 😂

“This is way more aggressive than how I remember the first fight.” Well, yeah.

Your wife was very cute how she was soo geeking out over this. SC 38 reimagined is what disney needs to be doing to the star wars universe.

Cool 😎 love your my favorite KZfaqrs 🍾

This will be a long day remembered. It was the end of Obi-Wan and soon the end of the Rebels.

If you haven't watched Clone Wars or Rebels. You should. It's definitely worth it and show you more about character progression or introducing. And for Clone Wars you're learning about the clones too and you may get attached to some of them. And this series making the prequels so much better in context than the films could themselves. I love it. And you will love Star Wars even more.

This was uploaded on my birthday!

Gandalf is a pretty good example, except Gandalf and the other Wizards were actually not allowed to use their full powers in Middle Earth. This coupled with the fact that all of them are stuck in old bodies means that they can never achieve their full potential during their time in Middle Earth.

the remake of the fight scene more closely tied in their fighting style from Revenge of the Sith. With how aggressive their fight was in episode 3 vs the original sc38 fight... in ep2 seeing Yoda use the force to help his aging body be able to still hold his own against younger opponents. this showed how Obi-wan was indeed older but should still have been able to fight somewhat more aggressive than in the original fight. same with Vader. Also the call back voices put into the fight... I feel like had the story been made in chapter order, George probably would have done something similar.

Highly appreciated for this !

Hey you guys, Great reaction and I'm also a huge fan of the original star wars, and empire strikes back is my favourite. Please can you react to star wars rogue one darth vader, (spoilers) I just hope that you have seen rogue one already.

Love this content ❤️ you guys should definitely react to the new Elden Ring trailer 🤘

Oh god I'm glad this one popped up in my recommend

The best fights always tell story between the fighters.

There was three inserts from the episode 3 the iconic but understated lines “I hate you” / “you were my brother ani I loved you “ and you were the chosen one all of these lines were from the battle of mustafar

This may or may not be a bit off topic, but speaking if novels, the best I've read is the Republic Commando story line. I know there are others, and I'm working my way to an thru them, but so far the above mentioned story line is my favorite.

I'd highly recommend reacting to Kenobi by HFC. It's a really cool edit of Obi Wan's life with some really nice music as well.

aww I love you guys reviewing star wars and other media. keep it up AND do star wars battlefront 2 campaign. it delves deep into the books like the emperors contingency for if the empire falls

Respect the scene. That earns a like.

Regarding your comments about Gandalf... I feel like Tolkien (and Peter Jackson) were going for a different feel with "magic" in those stories. Remember that Gandalf was NOT a wizard, that's just what he was called by some of the people of Middle Earth. He was an Istari, an embodied angelic spirit, and his power was more subtle, and more tied to creation itself than to spectacular displays of power like you would see in wizard fights. His fight with Sauron in the more recent movies...light v. shadow... is a good example of their primal natures. I feel like it may be a bit erroneous to expect more magic-seeming things from divine beings.

You should react to “Rescue Mission” it’s a very well done fan film done about Darth Revan. It captures his character so well and I feel like you would enjoy it.

I would LOVE to see the original theatrical version of "Star Wars" with this replacing the original scene. This is what happens when you improve. Lucas never settled upon anything but rarely actually improved anything. This scene with the original is actually BETTER. Imo. Love your reaction, btw.

Fan film from Star Wars Theory. Vader Shards of the Past episode one. If you haven’t seen it. Is really well done. Amazing film taking place eight months after Anakin turns to Vader. Goes into his state of mind, thoughts and feelings. Reminds me of the Vader comic books.

only guy i remember from StarWars was Darth Maul with dual lazer sword, beast

This video weirdly reminded me of the ps2/xbox Revenge of the Sith games versus mode. Everyone hated playing as Old Ben Kenobi and said he was too weak and slow. But i always destroyed them easily. Never lost a match for years. XD

YESS GREAT REVIEW

best channel reaction ever!

One of the main reasons why they couldn’t have lightsaber duels like this in the original besides the budget which this may actually tie into the budget but the original lightsabers they used for filming were really heavy so being able to spin them around like now a days would’ve been hard if not impossible. But you can kind of see how in the original fight scene how they were heavy since Obi wan and Vader almost always held them around waist level and had them just slightly pointing upwards.

Much better than the original, you could really feel the rage and the hatred there.

The lady here mentioned the added aggression of Darth Vader vs. Obi Wan. I believe that this is added because, this is deeply personal for Darth Vader aka Anakin Skywalker, because Obi Wan and he have history, in that 20 years earlier during Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith, Obi Wan critically injured Anakin, during their famous duel. Darth Vader obviously has been looking forward to settling the score with Obi Wan Kenobi!

It was awesome. My only pet peeve is what nobody ever notices and it's an obvious thing. Never in Star Wars (I don't count the sequels, since they aren't Star Wars) the Sith NEVER lit their lightsabers first. The Jedi were always the agressors (the only excemption is probably the Darth Maul Qui-Gon fight on Tatooine but it's difficult to see in that fight who ignited their lightsaber first). So Vader turning on his weapon before Obi-Wan in this, is a bit of a non-continuity. An amazing segment. Something that should be enshrined in the Star Wars Hall of Fame.

Have y’all ever seen Star Wars Theory fan film Vader Shards of the past. He spent 125k of his own money!!! PS fixitinpost is reimagining the bespin fight. Teaser is on their channel

These 2 rock

Wouldn’t mind seeing movie versions of the purge comics or empire comics

a very good video to check out for a reaction is “Kenobi” from Hero Fan Productions. i think you’ll love it

... in a thousand years from now Star Wars will be like the Homer's Iliad and Odyssey !

This is my new canon.

There are such Jedi called Grey Jedi in the star wars universe, and if u want to watch the animated shows u might run into them, because some Jedi do leave the Jedi council

It isn't love if they aren't ready to help hide some bodies. :D

The best scene in Star Wars...made by a fan.

YES please react to the worst things the jedi did. Also, a related video to that can be this: Revenge Of The Sith Part 1 by DuduFilm on youtube. He has made numerous videos that compliments the Expanded Universe in Star Wars. Great reaction, was joyful!

I love star wars 👍👍👍 and RIP Cary fisher

WE GOTTA GET A SKYRIM TRAILER REACTION! Show some love!!!
