  • Single-handedly the most EPIC climax of any trilogy.

  • Vader: What?!!! Hands off my son you sith spit!

  • Deep down I believe Vader realized following his defeat at the hands of Luke.. how he had once defeated Count Dooku in ep3.. and how Sidious had sold out Dooku for Vader ordering a kill. In much similiar fashion Luke was literally been groomed as his replacement before his eyes.. and Sidious just as well was having Luke off Vader as did Vader off'ing Dooku. At that point.. Vader just up and kills Sidious..

  • @TheSWFuniverse I suppose...but I still agree with Mr Plinkett, there was nothing much at stake between Dooku and Anekin other than the fact that Dooku was a 'bad guy' where as here theres betrayal working on all sorts of different levels. From Vaders betrayal of his son, the emperors betrayal of Vader and then Vaders ultimate 'betrayal' of the emperor which leads to his own redemption. Theres basically more going on here than 'sour grapes' between the emperor and Vader.

  • @BelatedCommiseration While I strongly agree with you.. and completely understand that.. I feel at some point whether high or low.. that had to have been running through his mind.

  • @TheSWFuniverse I think this is another case where what can be laughingly called 'the backstory' provided by the sequals is doing much to muddy the waters of the principal trilogy and takes away from the plot even more 'in-sidiously' than the crappy little extra bits Lucas just keeps adding. The original trilogy came first and was made to stand on its own despite what came after. Thats why I think its dangerous trying to link the two trilogies together.

  • It's the E and then the O, bro.

  • wtf how the fuck darth vader died from 2 seconds of lightning shock but luke survived from 2 minutes of that shit?

  • @jzouYaKnow Luke didn't have a short circut in his armour.

  • @jzouYaKnow Firstly Luke wasn't already nearly dead,therefore didn't need armor that was short-circuited.

    Nextly,The Emperor wanted to torture Luke to death,with Vader he just wanted him dead for such betrayal,he probably amped up the power of the lightning.

    Besides they both last longer than Windu without a lightsaber and one -handed

  • how that film called?

    aaaa, just a joke :)

  • The old stars wars movies are so hokey. The newer ones are the epitome of awesome though.

  • @fvgdfbdokd Lol.

  • I still don't get why the emperor exploded ath the end.

  • @Ph4ntomContact Because he was thrown into the Death Star II"s reactor core.

  • @Ph4ntomContact his body disintegrated on impact, the explosion was actually all of the dark side energy inside of him being destroyed as well.

  • Quem é do Brasil,adora essa cena e é viciado por Star Wars ,dá um joinha ae !!!

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

  • the Emperor officially became my all time favorite villain after Revenge of the Sith. an uncompromising psychopath who masterminded a war which would help lead into a hostille takeover of the entire Galaxy, the creation of an army which mindlessly acted on his authority when it became convenient, turning an impressionable and ultimately good man against everyone by convincing him he was doing good, and had almost an entire army of warriors and protectors killed to make it ALL happen is now DEAD!

  • @futuremovieactor I agree. Say what you want about the prequels (and I've said plenty myself), Ian McDiarmid was a joy to watch. Star Wars is now as much Palpatine's story as it is Anakin Skywalker's. After seeing the prequels, watching Anakin finally free himself of palpatine's influence is more satisfying than ever. Best ending to any saga ever.

  • I cast sith lord! He shoots bolts of lightning at your luke skywalker!

    Oh yeah? Well I cast darth vader!

    1,000 years later

    Luke: any day now

    Vader: wha? Oh yeah! *Kills palpetine*

    Vader: have a nice trip palpetine *puts sunglasses on* see you next fall.

  • I luv how vader justs stands there for 5 minutes until he actually does sumthing

  • LOL imagine how funny this was when they were shooting it with out the effects

  • @Vip3rC4in0022 I saw a documentary showing this scene without the ligthing-bolts and I found it just as epic.

  • @EvilDarkChris What's the name of that documentary, did you see it here on YouTube?

  • @heihererjeg45 Yeah, I saw it here. I think it was called ''Return of the Jedi - The Complete Documentary'' or something like that. It basically shows the entire movie with behind-the-scene cuts and some comments from the actors recorded in the 80s.

  • @heihererjeg45 Ok, I found it, it's called ''Returning to Jedi - The Complete Documentary - MUFF Edition'' :)

  • @EvilDarkChris Thankyou so much!! You're a star ;)

  • @heihererjeg45 No problem ;)

  • YES PAPLPATINE DESERVED TO DIE AND I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL!!!!!!!!!

  • 11:33 dddddddduuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Comment removed

  • One of the strongest scenes I've ever seen in a movie. It's always been a big thing for me.

    Such shivers everytime. And I almost always close to start crying.

  • then mark hamil goes in to INSANE JOKER MODE. and shoot palaptine

  • darth vader: *throws palpatine down to the engine* darth vader: hav a nice fall x)

  • You have paid the price for your lack of vision!

  • WARNING: Emperor: Shot lightings at you! Please beware it from Reactor Cores!

  • RIP Benedict XVI

  • ya no, i never understood y palpatine explodes when he dies....

  • I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!

  • he got what he deserved

  • Emperor Palpatine: You will die!

    Vader: I don't fucking think so.

  • What a great Father-Son activity

  • Luke: Father... PLEASE!!!

    Vader: You just cut off my hand son. What the hell do you expect??

  • @redshark618 One for One.

  • The current Pope has always reminded me of him...

  • yea and u know, lukes ok straight away as soon as the emperor stop electrocuting him

  • The emperors kind of a dumbass it's like of course he's going to kill u he's electrocuting your son in front of u. He's not a genius after all :P

  • most epic betrayal ever too

  • He was very evil, but I actually was sad when he died.

  • I guess I should creep the actor emperor palpatine.... he's such a FUCK!!!!!!

  • Guy at bottom of the hole: Dammit, first the Red guy with spikes in his head now this old dude? Where did I get this job? *sweeps body away*

  • Good job Anakin, you fulfill your destiny as the chosen one after killing all of your fellow jedi, your wife, your master obi wan, and nearly killed your son......(sigh) oh well.

  • lol at 0:48

    Darth Vader: "Maybe I should do something..."

  • Anakin Skywalker!

  • So be it Jedi

  • NNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    

  • What a shocker..

  • oh yeah you and what lightning hands

  • LOL emporer

  • LOL emporer

  • lol emporer

  • i must say

    *puts on sunglasses* that was very shocking

    YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

  • Luke kinda reminds of Justin Bieber... :/

  • I just realized how inconsistent the prequel made the emporer's death.... Think about how many times Jedi and Sith disregarded a high fall.. Characters (Jedi or not) fall from high ledges, moving cars all the time in the Star wars universe. You'd think one of the most powerful sith lords ever would deal with that fall nicely.

  • @donluchitti But at the same time, he was thrown down. And perhaps he was taken by surprise because it was so sudden.

  • Looks like the Emperor.

    *puts on sunglasses*

    Has fallen out of grace.

    YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

  • Palpatine should have installed a OFF switch for that force power.

  • @JustinBieberSucks it is canon. lucas THE CREATOR gave the authors permission to make the novels set after rotj.

  • If I was Luke I would've stood up and been like "GOD DAMN IT DAD! COULDN'T HAVE YOU DONE THAT SOONER!!?"

  • lawl, why didn't vader just cut palpatine in half with a lightsaber? bahaha xD

  • In the super duper unedited director's cut you can hear Vader saying "suck it bitch!" as he throws Palpatine down the hole.

  • LOOKS LIKE THE EMPEROR

    *Puts on sunglasses*

    WAS OVERTHROWN

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • @TheMegamario89 funny...today in S.S class we had to do a report on emperors being overthorwn.

  • Emperor, not Emporer lol !

  • It's Emperor. No shit, sherlock, you're thinking.

  • However, Sith Lords usually don't like being killed just like that. They don't want their remains scattered all over the place after being stabbed by a lightsaber because that's just embarassing. I mean, how would you like your opponent to smirk at your dead, dismantled body as he violently kills you? You're this uber-powerful, really evil Sith Lord and then you just die like that. No. You have to fall down honorably so you can say "Fuck you! What a cheap way to kill me!" while falling down.

  • All Star Wars Sith Lords are required by their own ideas to build a huge pit somewhere in their ship. This is because if they're confronted by a worthy opponent, such as a Jedi Master, their fight will be dramatic. They want to send that opponent down the pit and smile at him as he falls down hopeless of life.

  • Love when he says "Father please!!" but idk why...

  • This death scene is so much better with Vader yelling "Nooooooo!"Isn't it (sarcasm)

  • Every star wars villain dies by falling off some shit.

  • @thecheatlord999

    Only two or three do, and Dark Maul was actually dead before he hit the bottom anyway. I don't know whether to count Boba Fett or not.

  • @apexcreatures Boba Fett never died surprisingly. If you read the Star Wars comics (which George Lucas himself said they are CANON) Boba Fett was rescued by another bounty hunter before he got eaten, and then Boba Fett lived a happy life with his wife and kids. Pretty gay I know :P

  • @MysticalPiplup non canon

  • @JustinBiebarSucks No, Lucas said himself that it was canon.

  • Like. I Messed Up On Bottom Comment.

  • 100 lIKE >:D

  • And the prophecy of The Chosen One was fulfilled.

  • @LordMortis315 Many, many, many years too late. lol

  • @WafflezDay Hey, there never was a deadline for the Prophecy LOL

  • @LordMortis315

    Ironic, huh? He ended up destroying the Sith... Sidious and himself. The Jedi just didn't bother to look deeper and find out that there may be costs along the way.

  • lol he just picked him up and threw him to his death

  • when the emperor said now luke skywalker u will die he should have said now emperor u will die lol

  • Fuck the Emperor! He deserved to die.

  • Must've been a been a pretty awkward scene for Mark Hamill without all the effects. Just moving around and screaming on the floor.

  • nohw...NOHHHHHHHHHH

  • Darth Vader had more betrayals than kills.

  • am I the only one that's wanted to do this to someone? Mock them while they get a dose of force lightning :P

  • @Vyna80 Hell yes. I'd love to have the powers of the dark side.

    Besides everyone know bad guys roll better. they get the pimped clothes, the epic vehicles, the sexier female subordinates and the good old benefit of an army of unintelligent meat shields willing to die for them.XD

  • looks like a piece of shit going down the toilet

  • I can really say the emperor....

    *puts on sunglasses*

    Is falling for Vader

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAH

  • why couldn't he have done that when Mace Windu was being electrocuted by the Emperor? DAMN YOU ANAKIN!!!!!!!

  • @NathanH97

    The only reason Anakin a) kept the Emperor allive and b) joined the Dark Side was to save Padme. Only an Ability trained in the Dark Side could save Padme, so thus Anakin was blinded with flase hope.

  • POOR LUKE GOT TORTURED..... DAMN YOU EMPEROR YOU ALMOST KILLED POOR LUKE >:( -FLAMES APPEAR AROUND SELF-

  • And most of all, people DO NOT cause a strange, gigantic explosion when they die. Therefore, I personally get the impression that Vader must have done something with his Force directly to the Emperor's body when he was lifting the Sith Lord up, so that he would die from a "Force Explosion" inside his body. And he threw the Emperor down to the reactor because that big explosion shouldn't kill him and his son as well.

  • 4 dislikes. Those are from 4 emporers who were mad because "emperor" was misspelled

  • Technically it was the sith lightning that killed Palpatine. Consider that from that tower it's a 50 mile drop to the reactor.

  • @dragonridley no, the sith lightning killed Anakin.

  • @kaizoisevil

    It killed both of them.

  • @dragonridley the lightning killed Anakin. The fall killed Palpatine. Palpatine was the one shooting the lightning, so it could not have backfired on him (Anakin had no lightsaber to deflect it back)

  • @kaizoisevil

    Ok, I had thought that he had lost control when Anakin/Vader picked him up. The fall thing must have been something that the produces didn't think through thoroughly, then

  • @dragonridley Apparently, the Emperor was not thinking clearly when he put a shaft that leads straight to the core.

  • @kaizoisevil yeah sounds like a serious design flaw. should've planned ahead with force insight Palpatine.

  • @kaizoisevil Of course the lightning did kill Anakin but look at Anakins body - his body is mainly metal and since electricity can pass through metal, Palpatine could have electricuted himself when Anakin lifted him up. The lightning went through Anakin but was transferred through Anakins metal body into Palpatine. The lightning affected Anakin more though so he died, as for Palpatine he was just stunned enough to the point that he couldnt do anything when he fell to his death.

  • @broman178 I guess you were right, but in that case, the lightning only indirectly killed him. It was still the fall that killed him, with the lightning stunning him to prevent him from doing something.

  • i think darth vader didnt like his breath

  • Lukes a pussy! The best part is the Emperor does not really die. His soul goes through space until it finds one of his hidden clones. Long Live the Emperor!

  • Voldemort's death had nothing on this.

  • This is the death of the most evil movie villian, NO VILLIAN CAN BEAT EMPEROR PALPATINE in my opinion. Nothing is worse than ruling a GALAXY and destroying a PLANET which can kill more than millions, so Palpatine is number 1 in my list. Im glad Vader killed him, he deserved it.

  • @broman178 What about the million Workers on the Deathstar when the Rebels blew it up? The Emperor was the good guy! He kept the Galaxy at peace. The rebels threw it in an endless civil war! Read the books...

  • @WraithSKA2 No, Palpatine was evil because he created a war to get power in the galaxy and he killed MILLIONS just because he wanted to get power. In his path for power, he destroyed almost all the jedi, corrupted Anakin skywalker into becoming Darth Vader as well as destroying planets just for punishments. None of his actions were good, the Rebels were the real good guys as they only protected the galaxy from him, he was not really keeping it at peace.

  • @broman178 Yes he was Evil in his own way and yes he did kill the Jedi but after he did all that the Galaxy was at Peace. Then the Rebels starting killing people and blowing up stuff. The Rebels killed a Million workers on the Death Star so how are they any better than the Emperor? The Emperors power and evilness kept the Galaxy in check so that was a GOOD thing...

  • @WraithSKA2 Well thats all your opinion but to me HE IS EVIL and the most evil movie villian. This scene of Palpatine shocking Luke before he was killed was PROOF that he was always evil even though he may have brought peace to the galaxy, Im glad he died.

  • @WraithSKA2 If Palpatine was good then why did he have Anakin kill a bunch of younglings? He could've trained them to become Sith instead since I doubt the younglings would know any better. Also what about the innocent people who were destroyed on Alderaan by the Death Star? Was that The Emperor orders or was that all Grand Moff Tarkin's doing?

  • @TheCajunGambit1 The destruction of Alderaan was mainly Grand Moff Tarkins doing but since Darth Vader did nothing to stop him, Vader could have been the one who gave Tarkin the order to destroy Alderaan. And since Palpatine was the one who made Anakin Skywalker become Darth Vader, it was really all Palpatine's doing. Palpatine was in a way indirectly responsible for the destruction of Alderaan.

  • @broman178 Darth Vader did seem kind of hesitant though when Tarkin was talking about destroying Alderaan by the way he said "What do you mean?" I guess maybe he felt bad a little since that was the good in Vader but there was nothing Darth Vader could've done if he tried to stop Tarkin he would've been punished by Palpatine probably.

  • @TheCajunGambit1 Palpatine was Evil but at the same time he brought order that was never matched. He had to kill the Youglings because they that was not the Sith way. The sith way was one master & one apprentice so he did not need anymore. As far as destoying Alderon that was Grand Moff Tarkins doing if you remember him telling leah that because she was there & being a bitch he decided to show the Empires power on her home world. The Emperor was not week, he just wanted everyone to think that

  • @WraithSKA2 Leia was no bitch please dont call one of my favourite Star War characters that. Her name is Leia, not leah. The real reason why the Rebel Alliance was formed was to remove Palpatine from the galaxys rule because they would never accept an evil sith lord and tyrant like Palpatine. They wanted a good person to rule the galaxy not an evil one like Palpatine. They worked against him the moment he BECAME Emperor and far more INNOCENT people were killed by Palpatine than the Rebels.

  • @broman178 Sorry she reminds me of some Crazy Liberal who only thinks about the momment and not the big picture. Now Im not saying she was always that way & that everything she did was dumb but she decided to be involved & Alderon was destroyed because of who she was & where she was from. I see you have no problem forgetting that the Rebels killed Millions & plunged the Galaxy into Chaos for the end of time! Palpatine did some evil things but he kept peace & order in the Galaxy!

  • @WraithSKA2 Also If I were you I wouldnt really make comments that Palpatine is good and that he brought peace to the galaxy because we all know that Palpatine is just an evil, ruthless tyrant who ultimately deserved to die. He ruined the lives of many of my favourite Star War characters including the Jedi (killed), Yoda (disgraced and died), Padme (died because of sad events), Anakin (corrupted and killed), and Obi Wan (disgraced and killed).

  • @broman178 Well your NOT ME & I can say whatever I want cause I see past the lies of the Jedi. Sorry you liked a little green dwarf who smelled like dog farts. Padme was hot & strong but became week from hanging around Anakin who was kind of a brat. Vader was a great leader. Obi Wan was pretty good but not good enought to see what was happening right under his nose. The Jedi did some good but screwed up allot too. The REBELS did more damage then anyone in the history of anything!

  • @WraithSKA2 Ok thats your own opinion on Palpatine, the Jedi and the Rebels but I have a different view on them. To me Palpatine was nothing but an evil ruthless sith lord and the Jedi and Rebels were the REAL good guys and I read that the galaxy was at peace and the Jedi order was restarted after the Rebels and Vader defeated Palpatine and it was only the sith who put it in war again. But you can keep your opinions to yourself and so will I, lets leave it at this please.

  • lesson learned: don't zap Luke when Darth Vader is behind you or he will throw you off something very high in a giant space station

  • that stupid bastard killed Samuel L Jackson, motherfucker deserves it

  • I'm sure no one has pointed out that it's spelled "Emperor"

  • 1:57 Darth Vader skeleton face!

  • damn now thinking there finger nails must be black as hell o.0

  • I'm glad Vader threw him down the hole because he was a manipulator, he told the Clones to hunt Jedi, he manipulated Anakin, he was behind a war, he was shocking Luke with force lighting. So Palpatine got what he deserved.

  • why do all the badguys in starwars fall into big holes

  • am i the only person who wonders why on earth you would have a 200 mile deep hole in the floor in a throne room?

  • J.K. Rowling should have had it so that in the last Harry Potter book, Voldemort kills Harry, and just before he does, he sais;

    "And now young Potter... You will die. AVADAKADAVRAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • i love how like everyone that dies in the star wars saga is on this channel.

  • loool Emperor not Emporer

  • The Liking bar LooksLike A Lightsaber

  • im sorry this is amazing when high lol

  • sorry, but why the hell did he explode?

  • @EdNewey654 his electricity hitting a reactor or something.

  • Technically, this is his not a death scene because Palpatine did not die here. It was a great blow to him but his spirit traveled to the planet Byss and he was reincarnated in a clone body

  • @Tim92G

    But his clone body was not as strong as his real body and he just came back for one year.

  • @Tim92G

    Well, the "expanded universe" doesn't really count now does it??

    As far as Lucas and everybody else is concerned what matters is the movies. All those comicbooks, videogames and bad novels are just cheap cash-ins.

  • I think that this scene needs to edited because if Vader lifted Palpatine and got electrocuted and Vaders body is metal, surely Palpatine would have electrocuted himself. If it is edited it would show Palpatine electrocuting himself before getting thrown down by Vader.

  • This is one of the best star wars!

  • Well, it's nice to see a fitting villain get a good send-off...thank god nobody tried to ressurect him and have himself be farted back into existence cause they needed a villain, totally making Vaders sacrifice pointless huh? *puts fingers in ears* LALALALALA! SHUT-UP DIDN'T HAPPEN! LALALAALALALA!

  • this scene always gave me goosebumps and a tear to my eye

  • Darth Vader: Which seat should I takke??

  • 1:57

    OMFG VADERS SKELETON OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG

  • Luke was right, Vader does have good in him cuz he loves his son soo much :D

  • Wow, what a fantastic father, Vader is. He was never there, cut off his son's hand, and waits for Luke to feel the excruciating pain of Sith lightning for atleast one minute, before finally ending it by killing palpatine. The he decided to die.

    I'm totally kidding, this scene is awsome.

  • Thats the power of please kids!

  • @atom57 I believe that Star Wars was a rough interpretation, somewhat, of the Vietnam war. Vietnam were rebels, and they won. There was a huge controversy at the time. I could be wrong though.

  • Seems like that was

    *puts on sunglasses*

    A shocking experience

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAH

  • I hate this death scene. So poorly choreographed.

  • *Cries for his daddy* Father, PLEASE!! then EPIC BIEBER HAIR FLIP

  • after all
