I've never been clear on what, exactly, Luke says here. The script says he's saying, "Never-r-r!" but it has always sounded more like "DARTH!" or something else with only one syllable.

Don't take it as concrete proof, but I specifically remember this being a question in Star Wars Trivial Pursuit from the 90s (incl. bonus cards with questions from the upcoming Episode I!). The answer was Never. I only remember this because a sibling's sugar-addled monkeycheese tweenbrain yelled SQUASH and it's been a sibling in-joke for years. hth

ESB's beginning and ending are some of the best things in all of Star Wars. RotJ has a good pulpy beginning and a good ending. The middles of each are ok. I can see liking RotJ more, but I can't see claiming it's better. It has too much plot to resolve verbally, rather than visually.

I went backwards, when I was a young kid I liked ROTJ the best, and then when I got older I fell into the conventional Empire love, but around the time of the Disney purchase when I was thinking about it more often I realized that Star Wars is the best Star Wars

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Luke shouts FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK at the top of his lungs in TLJ.

Then he rips a dude’s face off with his robohand.

It’s a frightening scene that seems reaaallllly out of place.

I used think that Empire was merely okay but that the Hoth, Dagobah, and Cloud City parts were great. Then later I realized that the entire movie takes place on Hoth, Dagobah, and Cloud City.

Well, it totally could have been filmed at a better angle but yeah, I'm pretty sure most people never even notice it because it's such a quick moment and their attention is half-diverted by Boba Fett flying by in the background. Also because they're not watching the movie a million times within a short span.

It's just funny to look at in slow-mo. I don't think the poster is seriously slagging on ROTJ just because a fast-paced action sequence meticulously analyzed in slow motion quite predictably loses some of its illusion of realism.

I never noticed that in all the times watching the movie before I saw the GIF, so it's fine. That guy is being a huge dweeb for thinking it's an attack on ROTJ and not just funny though.

It’s so drat ugly. Probably the worst shot in any Star Wars movie.
