emperor tempts luke

[Flaseris]

There is no 7:09. The emperor must have done something with youtube

[savvy12510]

god I love this. can't they rerelease THIS movie in 3D instead of Phantom Menace??

[bluedeath911]

@savvy12510 Don't worry they will get around to showing this in 3D.

[Lenangreal]

i love this actor interpreting sidious.

[Krylov223]

I was always frustrated that the emperor would have been killed in the Death Star explosion regardless of whether luke had confronted him. Luke would have helped more fighting on Endor or in an X-Wing.

[kanaric]

The Emperor is the ultimate troll

[bgiles26]

Palpatine was an awesome villain. The way he taunts Luke was a work of art. He would get your blood boiling as he is laughing at you because he knows that you are too easy.

[OSTube1]

Moreover, it means he openly places his trust in a power far greater than hatred, anger, fear or lust. A power overlooked by the Emperor. The power of compassion. Of Love.

[Joey100816]

I've never known why he threw his lightsaber away. Turning it off and not killing vader was enough proof that he hadn't turned. He didn't have to throw it away and deprive himself of his only weapon when the emperor was sat there ready to kill him

[OSTube1]

@Joey100816 At this point in the saga we're not supposed to be thinking that Luke should've have kept on fighting - "go on, kill the Sith, Luke!"

We are supposed to see Luke's virtue, and realise that if he had fought - there could only be one winner... Palpatine.

By not fightning, by not giving in to his anger, by not giving Palpatine what he wants - then that is how Luke wins. The cycle of fear and hatred is finally broken.

Throwing the saber = Luke overcoming the temptations of the Dark Side

[eastwing329]

It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father, are now... mine. I love that line. I know this scene has been made fun of before but that line says a lot about the Emperor. He doesn't say because it is cliche, he says it because he believes in it.

[Spydi1231]

and the end of your insignificant rebellion lol

[Cr3scendo]

At 6:35 what does Luke realize when he looks at his hand and then at the cut off arm of Vader?

[SmithSmithery]

@Cr3scendo He realizes that he's going down the path to becoming his father if he follows through with killing Darth Vader. He would be playing right into the Emperor's hands and would take his father's own place as the Emperor's lapdog. At his point in the story, you remember that Luke's hand is robotic due to the events of The Empire Strikes Back.

[00Kuja00]

sad that the emporer was so goofy in the new films, he just laughed and jumped around. its a shame when u see how creepy he was when he just talked and tempts (witch he should do!)

[TheZacula]

I will admit this about the prequels: Maul was badass, I liked the designs and environments, Ewan McGregor did a good job as Obi-Wan, and Ian McDiarmid did a good job as the Emperor.

[aidanproductoins4]

emperor:gaurds leave us.

gaurds:not fair i want to see this epic part.

[AngeloNiklis]

@aidanproductoins4

Don't worry, if you look carefully you can see them peeking in every now and then.

[hokiepiratejedi]

2:58-3:15 Condescending douche!

[capacopkilla123]

@hokiepiratejedi hahaha I know i'm watching this amazing scene again as an adult and Palpatine is fucking hilarious! Brilliant acting and script writing

[crisvanfan]

@hokiepiratejedi LOL reminds of that line from the family guy spoof " you dont have to be a dick about it"

[theonewhowasonce]

"I'm looking forward to compliting your training. In time you will call *me* master." A perfect line for a wedding speech.

"Your over-confidence is your weakness." No, the Emperor's weakness is his total disability to shut the f**k up.

[TheeJackOFLanterns]

@theonewhowasonce He needed to give that boy a talking to as he did not know his place...

[EzZodd]

@theonewhowasonce LOL, master of bater?!?!

[sk8rocgirl]

thats not the emperor, that's ET's grandad!

[KawanahaJesusFreak]

best scenes in movie history.

hands down :)

[edinscot56789]

Obi Wan, Yoda, Qui Gon and Padme - they all would have been so proud of Luke standing up to the Emperor.

[edinscot56789]

3 people are Emperor's Hands

[superheadfreak]

1:23 I`d s*** my pants if that guy walked up to me like that. Love this scene.

[2Koranteng]

@superheadfreak you can say the word SHIT you know - noone will persecute you mate. :)

[shortstopshep]

I always thought that the reason Sidious failed to tempt Luke was because he tried too late. With Anakin, Sidious was able to slowly tempt him from the time he was a padawan child to the time he was a Jedi Knight. As Chancellor Palpatine, Sidious was able to become a close friend of Anakin so that by the time he revealed his true identity Anakin wouldn't outright kill him. Instead Anakin would follow his advice since he trusted him. But with Luke he had to try on a whim at the last minute.

[Pilaf1984]

@shortstopshep He comes across way too strong and fast with the whole evil thing with Luke. His temptation of Anakin actually involved coming across as a kindly father figure. He's no longer willing or able to disguise his evil nature at this point. He's sort of like Sauron after he lost the ability to take on a fair form.

[stansayer]

Are those cameras in the background at 2:21?

[Commanderlewis]

@stansayer hmm could be! but all we know it could be part of the death star

[cannonski]

Nice to see a fellow Scotsman playing an ubervillain ;)

[mackjsm]

THIS WILL NEVER GET OLD!!! The originals were dark and fun... the new ones are too "cute and colorful" we need a new trilogy: Dark and evil.. i.e. part 7, 8, and 9..

[TheSamuraiKoala]

Lucas was actually planning to do a sequel trilogy but cancelled it after he lost a tonne of money after some rights case

[XxComablackxX1937]

@TheSamuraiKoala

He is still planning the sequel trilogy, he said episode 7 would come in 2019 after he releases all 6 epiodes in 3D... Episode 1 comes out in 3D in 2012... So 7, 8 an 9 are coming although since i don't follow the Star Wars Universe unless Darth Sidious is there i honestly don't really care....He was easily what made Episode 6 an the best thing about the prequels.

An since Anakin is dead, there really isn't any need for further sequels but money talks.

[TheSamuraiKoala]

@XxComablackxX1937 Oh, thanks that's good to know :)

[jake11711]

@XxComablackxX1937 Lucas has constantly said that Star Wars was meant to be a six-part series, and he isn't making a sequel trilogy.

[satireknight]

@XxComablackxX1937 Uh, not as of 2007. He's repeatedly said it ends with ROTJ.

[XxComablackxX1937]

@satireknight

Money talks my friends, there even considering making a Boba Frett solo film with direction Joe Johnston... So while i hope it ends with return of the Jedi... Where's theres money there will be sequels, prequels, or Reboots.

[lance22me]

Anyone ever notice that Palpatine looks just like Joe Biden?

[mackjsm]

@lance22me  LMAO!!!!!!!!

[ASSHOLELA]

u missed the emperor's ordering of the death star fire!

[wulfshelmut]

Thats how I talk to the fag bitches on gamepro. They're such fags. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[keithkjj]

I like 4:40 he looks at vader like what are you going to do.

[ic3olate]

2:32 to 3:15....absolutely amazing.

[grayhawk777]

@ic3olate in that scene i turned to the dark side,TOTALLY.That scene made me a SW fan !

totally agree XD

[flareware123]

emperor just destroy luke!

[jacobkosh]

This is my favorite part of the entire Star Wars saga and its emotional and ethical heart. Luke throwing aside his lightsaber is the ultimate gesture of contempt for the Emperor's evil - he may die, but he will die on his own terms, as a man. And the Emperor's response carries its own grudging respect as he at last acknowledges that the dorky disco-haired farm kid we began this journey with is, at last, a Jedi.

[RojOdio]

This is probably the best part of the entire Star Wars saga.

[Grilledcheesedude]

Goooooooooood

[invaderzimislove1]

this scene - well, actually, this whole movie - is so intense. i love it!

[chri7]

FEFE ruled :)

[TheMesh]

He did :)

[guitarblazer4]

I thought I'd say Ian McDiarmid doesn't get the credit he deserves for his acting as the Emperor/Darth Sidious. He really brought a true villian to life in the Star Wars saga. I'm glad they used him for Episode XI and the prequal trilogy. One of the most underated actors of our time.

[Exodianecross1978]

Yes you are right. I'm a very big fan of him too, of all great british actors like Sir Christopher Lee, Sir Ian McKellan, Brian Cox, Ciaran Hinds! And let me tell you one thing, I'm a actor too. And if Sir Ian would offer me to become his apprentice I would call him "MASTER" too! Because he is one!

[grayhawk777]

@Exodianecross1978 ME TOO! (totally agree in the third comment,such clever comments on this video!).I am a fan of two Ian Mc something (Ian Mc Diarmid/Ian McKellen) and you too.And Sid is master anytime he wants,just had to ask me.All hali British actors,they RULE.

[SirGaul]

You have my total agreement!

[foorocker91]

@guitarblazer4 i agree!

[grayhawk777]

@guitarblazer4 ow,man i so agree witcha.He bringed to life the most incredible villain EVER,and he just don`t get the credit.I think he is BRILLIANT on Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith(Although many people disagree).So,at least,I recognize him as a great actor and i am glad that youfeel the same way)

[Nik0Bellic95]

@guitarblazer4 episode XI?

[sesrunner08]

@guitarblazer4 wait episode XI?

[turc1656]

@guitarblazer4

absolutely agree. he kills it in every scene. he's the most evil villian i think i've ever seen. so much hate. so much rage.

the emperor adds a key layer to the story and cinematic impact. with vader, we can't see his face, but the face is where the emotion is. McDiarmid fills in that gap for us and his seething rage and villainy shine through in a wonderful "he's so evil but i love him" kind of way.

[turc1656]

@guitarblazer4

i love when (moments after this clip ends) he's electrocuting Luke and he stops just to say "and now young Skywalker...you will die."

stopping just to let him know that NOW he's going to kill him. hahah, you gotta love it. that's about as badass as it gets.

[TheShockMaster]

@guitarblazer4

Agreed. He was one of the few good things about the Prequel Trilogy.

[EvilDarkChris]

@guitarblazer4 I find it really annoying that almost every star wars fan thinks that whiny bastard Darth Vader is the most badass villain. It's the emperor who is the true and pure evil of the saga.

[TheShockMaster]

@guitarblazer4

Agreed, Ian McDiarmid was great. I would even say that he was one of the few redeeming things about the prequel trilogy.

[FilmmakerRyan]

@guitarblazer4 Episode 11????

[Bassman7608]

vader screams like a deaf retard at 5:59 lol

[poloxxx]

Why the f*ck did the noob threw the lightsaber away!!! rofl.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooood", love when palpatine says that xD.

[Agent2point5]

All Palpatine my dark lord and master!

[grayhawk777]

@Agent2point5 SIDIOUS FTW

[JShades18]

Music from 3:16 to 4:24? Or more specifically, the violin segment from 4:09 to 4:15? I want it!

[history1979]

palpatine is the ultimate movie villian of all time

[Snfear]

"Your faith in your friends is yours" Palpatine bombed him :o

[Mestaajaz]

He sure did. The comeback was so funny : )

[grayhawk777]

@Snfear if i was Luke,i would be crying like a baby,he OWNED him to the core XD

[Mildman1200]

GOOOOOOOOD!

[Foxystorm]

I love this scene...

I also love the family guy doing a parody of this.

something something something dark side,

something something something complete!

[Schwertfechter]

"With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant". Great line.

[grayhawk777]

@Schwertfechter nah ,all his lines the are FUCKING brilliant XD

[Balt21Raven]

Finally someone who just posts the scene without messing with it.

[youcandance12345]

I AGREE! i hate trying to watch clips from the movie and they're all just people trying to get a laugh.

[TurgonThinagar]

thanks

[tombmanthereal]

Best scene EVER!!!

[TurgonThinagar]

Can anyone tell me what is the first song name?

[GreatDestroyer84]

The Emperor's Throne Room

[Koszka89]

What's the name of the music at 5:25 ?????

[GreatDestroyer84]

I believe it is called "Final Duel" if I'm not mistaken. On the soundtrack it's called "The Battle of Endor 2: Leia Is wounded - The Duel Begins/Overtaking"

[polymath7]

Luke- "Your over-confidence is your weakness." Emperor-"Your goofy haircut is yours!" Luke-"Why are you such a hardass?" Emperor-"Well, my father was an alchaholic and he used to beat me..."

[BLACKWINGEDBEING]

Why does Darth always wear that same dress?

[ObiNobake]

Because if he takes it off he will die

[Rincewindcl]

LMAO.. good answer. Short and to the point. Bravo Red Leader!

[kaijuman]

"Something, something something, Dark Side...

Something, something, something, complete!"

;)

[kirin0664]

truly the best

[TurgonThinagar]

This is my favorite!
