  • Lucas had nothing to do with this scene and probably fought against putting it in the film.

  • "Do, or do not. There is no try" Sage advice

  • fuck neo

  • Remember now matter how bad ass Vader got. He never was stupid enough to go after Yoda. what we need is Yoda movie. Base in a time when Yoda was young. Young Yoda kicking ass and taking names.

  • Seeing this makes it officially Christmas! : )

  • Thumbs up, you must give

  • I dont believe it!....THAT'S WHY YOU FAIL!!

  • One the best scenes from the whole series in my opinion......

  • 2:20 ..thats what she said??!

  • So Luke wasn't a full Jedi for over ten years just like a normally trained Jedi would be. One thing to know the basics and another to be a master at using them. That's what Anakin didn't understand. He's powerful but impatient and not wise enough to know that because you can doesn't mean you always should. Luke had to learn the same thing.

  • awesome, awesomer, the awesome-est

  • 1:05 Favorite!!!

  • Yoda should have won the best suppourting Oscar for this!

  • One of the most emotional performances in this movie was by a muppet.

  • "That.. is why you fail." - You tell him Yoda!

  • When you think about it this is kind of stupid. Luke trains for like what couple of days if not that a couple of years and HE'S A JEDI. That's retarded. It took Anakin like 10 years and HE'S THE CHOOSEN ONE.

  • @ValkyrainVII Anakin never trained with Master Yoda I dont think... And Anakin was a winey Little Bitch

  • @Stormdragon1976 Okay So I guessing you don't know that Count Dooku also trained with Yoda and it took him the same amount of time as Anakin. Yeah you just lost.

  • @ValkyrainVII Dooku was found as a baby and trained. Anakin was found at age ten so he had to do all that in half the time. Luke was very rushed and didn't do the normal training but the Jedi crash course on the Force. Hell Yoda knew he wasn't ready when he left the first time and that his training was still not complete when he died. Luke's the one who said 'OK, I'm a Jedi now' and did do it under duress so he had ultimate on the Job training. EU wise he wasn't ready to teach for a decade.

  • @ValkyrainVII he trained with obi-wan too a little

  • @IsArtanisAzn yeah barely for like a day

  • @ValkyrainVII Subjectively we really have no idea how long it took the Falcon to get to Bespin or how long they stayed. C-3PO got blasted the day they got there and was probably found the next day but we have no idea how long Vader had them captured or tortured Han to get Luke's attention. It could been weeks between Luke leaving Hoth for Dagobah and Luke getting a vision of Han and Leia and taking off again. Still not a lot of time but hardly a day.

  • @ValkyrainVII no since he was a little kid

  • All the Prequel can't even compare to this 5 mins of the Empire strike back.

  • This Yoda is much better than the CGi Yoda!

  • How did Lucas go from Yoda's elegant explanation of the Force here to the midichlorian bullshit in the prequel movies???

  • @kashattack

    To be fair Midichlorians were arbitrary and unnecessary to the plot, but they don't really contradict anything that's said here.

  • 0:44 lmao

  • Like a peanut.

  • "You must unlearn what you have learned."

    While "do or do not" and "that's why you fail" are great quotes, I find the one above to be the truest of them all. People sometimes fail to realize that almost everything they do in life was taught to them. Sometimes we screw up simply because our methods were faulty from the get-go. The solution? Unlearn them. Come up with your own approach. Change your perception of "success" and "failure." Stop listening to your TV set.

    This is a great movie.

  • @RafaHenryBorges arent you listening to your TV set when you listen to that?

  • "You must unlearn what you have learned."

  • Fuck Midochlorians and Lucas

  • @theguy134 Yeah I hated that part when they speak about some Midochlorians. That's ruined the whole feeling.

  • read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. He show's you how to unlearn what you have learned. its the only way i know how

  • Comment removed

  • I like doll Yoda more than CG Yoda. Cute !!

  • "I shall assume full responsibility for losing them, and apologize to lord Vader."

    Captain Needa is the bravest guy in the entire Star Wars legacy.

  • @ImmortalfireTheMod You know, he could have been the top graduate of his class at the Imperial Naval Academy and overall an excellent officer. I never liked summary executions on account of failure. 

  • The origional films had a gritty realism that made them so much better than the prequels.

    Yoda is awesome. Why did Lucas ruin him?

  • @eragonsaphira777 Which is why I prefer the original editions :)

  • Shame that the prequels weren't this good.

    If anyone disagrees with that statement, go watch the red letter media reviews, and then tell me you don't feel stupid for origionally liking the prequels.

    Yoda was awesome back when he wasn't a computer special effect.

  • @eragonsaphira777 red letter media is a whiney bitch, but yes the prequels weren't even close to being as good, though I did like episode 3

  • Concentrate!!!!!!!!!!!! lol funny moment

    

  • zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzZZZZZZzzzz­zzzzzzz

  • wish I had a friend like yoda. someone to look up to.

  • This is fucking magic...puppet beats CG every time, Hamill's ridiculous charisma , real fucking sets - i don't envy kids growing up with the prequels...

  • CONCENTRATE!!!!!!!!!

  • Always with you it cannot be done

  • Luke: "i...i dont believe it."

    Yoda: "THAT, is why you fail."

    FAIL LUKE.

    16 people don't believe and thus fail.

  • Comment removed

  • 0:16

    

  • Puppet Yoda has so much more personality than CGI water-looking Yoda. Screw you, George Lucas.

  • Millions of dollars to make the 3D Yoda, and the old puppet is still better...

  • the music when yoda lifts the xwing is so epic and beautiful

  • perfection

  • “Size matters not, ... Look at me. Judge me by size, do you?” Grand Jedi Master - YODA

  • this why yoda had more of an impact on us than he did in the prequels. we learned meaning to our lives from him in this movie. what did we learn from the prequels? dumb action scenes with him dancing with Count Dooku. yeahup that means alot to me -_-

  • @jmiester25 Exactly, couldnt have said it better myself. Instead of a real Yoda who taught us things about life, we get a cartoon Yoda who is there to show us video game shit.

  • 16 people were judged by there size.

  • 'Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.'

    Won badminton in straight sets last nite. Thanks Mr. Yoda!!

  • Yoda: size matters not.

    Leia: that's just what we tell guys to make them feel better.

  • this is heartbraking to watch. after suffering through the prequels, this scene is such a relief. it's so wonderful, so brilliant, so sublime,

  • I watch this and remember a time when i did not need pizza rolls to make me happy.

  • Concentraaaaaate!

  • 0:55 to 1:35

    the perfect message

  • @taleisyn

    The best!

  • Muppet Yoda > CGI Yoda

  • George Lucas never really understood Star Wars...

  • @KodierungHerz I think he fell out of touch with what made the trilogy so beloved. People didn't love Star Wars solely for the special effects, it was the magic behind it all, scenes like this that inspired so many children both when the movies first came out and later.

  • @Phoenix117UK True. And I, for one, much preferred the puppets and characters in makeup to all the CGI characters used.

  • Yoda in the original trilogy is a wise, old master. Yoda in the prequels is goofy with cheesy fight scenes, terrible dialog, dumb half-backwards dialect. There are many scenes in the OT with no equal in the prequels in terms of mood, realism, character, emotions evoked. Perfect examples: the Star Destroyer chasing the Rebel ship, Luke and the setting twin suns, the AT-ATs bearing down on the retreating rebels, Yoda revealing he IS Yoda, the tense moments before Vader and Luke fight, etc.!!!

  • @Phoenix117UK

    It's possible he never understood what made the originals so great and the limitations of the time are what kept him in check. "George Lucas never really understood Star Wars" makes a lot of sense given the stark differences in quality between the two trilogies. He pretty much went crazy with gimmicks and garbage special effects in the 90s and 2000s.

  • Last words: I apologise to Lord Vader.

  • Lucas never learned the obvious lesson here. No Ewoks, no Jar Jar --> best movie ever.

    He just had to turn it into a dumb kids show & ruin his own masterpiece.

  • THERE AREN'T ENOUGH DEWBACKS IN THAT SCENE!

  • only different in your mind!! you must unlearn what you have learned!!!

  • Empire is such an improvement over the first Star Wars movie.

  • 16 people still didn't believe it and still fail.

  • 2:23 - 315 is my favorite part of these scene

  • DO or DO not! there is no try.

    awesome <3

  • Magic.

    George forgot about what made Star Wars different. he forgot his own product. now we have star wars 3D dvd's coming out. I hate him for that.

  • @xwingclass I feel your pain my friend.

  • @charles125 i am glad someone does thanks.

  • Lern english you should, before teach you do! :-)

  • Personally I think this scene alone is probably 1,000,000 times better than all the star wars prequels combined

    fuck you star wars prequels fuck you

    

  • There is more magic, heart, and soul in this one scene than in the entire prequel trilogy.

  • I like this Yoda much better than the fake Yoda from the prequels.

  • CONCENTRAAAAAAATE

  • Taoism, Zen, & Shinto given flesh and blood. Yoda; one of the greatest characters ever created.

  • @FASBOB3 why yoda? he's teaching wisdom that can truely apply to life in some way or another... u hate wisdom or somethin? what u have against that! or are u just being one of thoose immature peoples who just wanna get an uprise from others... u got an uprise from me!

  • @elcap22 U say that but who would have come up with star wars is george lucas didnt.... i'd think it would be better if he messed up a few rather than never make the movies at all!

  • 2:35-3:15 possibly the greatest lines in star wars ever.

  • fuck yoda

  • George lucas didn't write the screenplay for this movie and he didn't direct the movie either and he clearly didn't have a clue what he was doing for the prequels

    yoda having a lightsaber ruined yoda's wise teachings in the original movies

    FUCK YOU GEORGE LUCAS FUCK YOU

  • If this scene were done with the Prequels, you would have seen a near continuous shot of the X-Wing being moved. Here, it's clipped and you really don't see as much. However, you feel like you do. Star Wars isn't the only newer movies that miss out on what you don't see can influence even more than what you do see - how the creativity of older movies without technology let your mind & imagination carry some scenes

  • Here's the truth. Episodes 1-3 lost the meaning, but the production, fight scenes, and graphics were much better. Episodes 4-6 had perfect meaning, a great and continuous and easy to follow storyline, but few good fight scenes. Combining the two trilogies? Perfection.

  • Something i noticed after rewatching this is that Yoda doesn't talk like the fucking retard that they made him out to be in the new films. Also, it seems that Luke is the same whiny bitch that his father was!

  • Old Yoda was such a legend. God damn the CGI frog he became...

  • Thumbs up if you watched this video and it is a actually good advise for real life.

    'Do or do not, there is no try.'

  • Just one example of how great The Empire Strikes Back is not only as a Star Wars film, but cinema as a whole. Timeless.... Check out A NEW JEDI, it's a sweet montage.

  • luke and yoda training

  • "do. or do not. there is no try."

  • Concertrate!

    Best line of this scene.

  • @hieiJaganshi800 best line of the scene is 'luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.'

  • The people who thumbed this down either have the worst taste of all time, or are the worst trolls of all time.

  • 0:11-0:20 possible handstand? one hand?

  • Best Star Wars movie ever, the new ones rely too much in CGI.

  • 0:11-0:20

  • I watch this once a day.

  • This is where fail and epic fail came from :)

  • cant find a fuckin suitable hat to adapt to these god damn ears i cannot!

  • Freaking R2D2 keeps distracting Luke =p

  • Concentrate. ConcentrAAAATTTEEEEE!!!!!! lol

  • Highly englightening clip about how to create change: You have to believe before you see - if you want to see before you believe, real, profound change is not possible... brilliant!

  • @npflaeging I agree completely: It's brilliant. There is another point: If you believe, you do it and not try do it.

  • "luminous beings are we.... not this crude matter"

  • "size matters not...look at me.... judge me by my size do you????"

  • the 16 people that voted this down are fucking retarded!

  • @CrazeKillen They're probably atheists

  • @cpufightclub lol prolly!

  • Life creates it... makes it grow!

  • Yoda is the best Jedi of all time.

  • "It's too big!"

    "Size matters not. Judge me by my size do you?"

    haha Yoga's subtle innuendos

  • I think a very important message that is also being communicated is that we can learn from our inevitable failures. It is an opportunity to change ourselves in a very positive way.

  • I love this scene, and I will always do. It has such a moral; you really CAN do it.. If you really want to... :D

  • only a sith deals in absolutes.

  • star wars univers is one of the best if not THE best sci fi univers ever created..iam still in love with the movies and the huge story behind it.this was one the best scenes in the second movie.love it..love yoda

  • Seems like Luke's problem is R2's yammering.

  • Yoda is my master

  • Impossible ... this is the word that keep us from truly transforming as human. I hope more people would look back into our lives and witness those that believed.

  • 0:45 loooool

  • Yoda <333

  • zen

  • Anybody else sensing some spiritual undertones?

    Easily my favorite scene in star wars with regards to the force. Very strong!

  • @sharktrinity: the whole old trilogy is packed with spiritual messages... multilayer movies those were... not these crude matter, like the new films (prequels)... ;-))

  • @Alexyho out of curiosity, where is the spiritual message here?

  • @damaband41: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

  • @damaband41: Now, replace "the Force" with "Holy Spirit", "Chi", "Ki", and you'll get the pinpoint of (almost) every religion on Earth: that everything that exists is bound by an invisible "Force", and furthermore: that everything that exists is essentially - One. Especially the sentence: "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." That what we can perceive in the "physical" world is of second value to the vast realm that lays beyond it. Couldn't be more spiritual to me. :-)

  • @Alexyho Well the new movies are still enjoyable in my opinion. I really enjoyed The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith although I don't really like Attack of the Clones. The television series Star Wars The Clone Wars is epically good as well and I really think that the animated series is on a level near that of the Original Trilogy.

  • "I don't believe it."

    "That, is why you fail."

    Best line in the series.

  • When I think of Star Wars, I think of this scene.

  • @gaoutlaw best line i use it on my kids after they ask me about there exams.

  • @gaoutlaw best line i use it on my kids after they ask me about there exams.

    actually this whole scene is for your kids during exam time. try do or do not there is no try!

  • @gaoutlaw best line i use it on my kids after they ask me about there exams.

    actually this whole scene is for your kids during exam time. try do or do not there is no try! they always tell me "come on you've been watching star wars again!" but its true.

  • @gaoutlaw best line i use it on my kids after they ask me about there exams.

    actually this whole scene is for your kids during exam time. "Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."

    they always tell me "come on you've been watching star wars again!" but its true.

  • "I shall assume full responsibility for losing them and apologize to Lord Vader." Proof positive that, bar none, Captain Needa was the bravest person in the entire saga.

  • rolf!

  • Yoda is a great jedi and a teacher :D

  • alright somewhere in this scence luke goes in these cave and fights vader, chops his head out and find out it him. can someone tall me what just happened i never got that part

  • @wilhelmscream25 remember Yoda telling him that he will only find what he takes with him!? What he takes with him is hate, fear and anger towards Vader and the wish to destroy him. Vader is not Vader, but he is what Anakin has become, and what Luke sees is what he is to become if he follows that path. So somewere he was killing himself, or on the way to do so, as his father did before! did before

  • Vader isn't vader? interesting view of identity ...

  • @TangomanX2008 Vader is only a name! Like the number of a house! Its what is behind it that is the truth! Its that what is to be feared in Vader. Of course he is called Vader, but I hope you understand what I mean?

  • oh, my comment was about your wording, not about the movie, I hope you understand what I mean ;).

  • @TangomanX2008 :-D I understand what you mean! Not alwais easy for me to express what I think correctly in english!

  • well, actually its not bad. You actually ran into a very important philosophical problem concerning the use of names and identity. Saul Kripke wrote a book called "Naming and Necessity" which involved identity statements of identity. Anyway, take care.

  • @TangomanX2008 There are lots of philosophical nots around. I find comments on youtoube and other sites are often a nice point to bring them up (peacefully from my point at least;-)). Im glad for peacefull replys, so thanks! You too take care! :-)

  • I think it was about Luke having to conquer himself, his fears within... I remember seeing it when I was 10, I didn't get it either... still don't, kinda : )

  • wilhelmscream25, I believe it's a vision Luke has in the cave, the cave is full of dark side stuff and so encourages these visions, Luke seeing his own face in Vader's helmet it a first subtle clue that 1) Vader is his father and 2) if he isn't careful Luke will go exactly the same way, that's how I always understood it

  • wilhelmscream25, the cave scene with Luke chopping of the dream Vader's head off and seeing his own face was a subtle clue to both him and the audience that Luke and Vader are connected in a way beyond just both being a Jedi and having force powers. The the other part is that Luke took his weapons with him when Yoda told him he wouldn't need them, so Luke too his own fear into the cave too.

  • individual work verse team work and unforeseen usage of virtue with fruits of labor is difficult to know

  • here's your FUCKING x-wing fighter, LUKE!!!

  • do or do not. there is no try. superbly used by yoda-horribly misused by managers the world over ever since

  • Yes Luke, You F A I L. ^^

  • Comment removed

  • Yoda`s like an old hippie master, with all this talk about the Force, living beings, universe etc

    And just like a hippie master totally stoned he is! His eyes lie, they cannot!

  • Why "hippie"???. He is like a master who really understands the world.

  • I meant that he looks totally stoned, dude. His appearance, his eyes... Lol

  • Lol Luke fails according to Yoda :p

  • The part where the x-wing flies toward Luke still reminds me of seeing this in the cinema when I was 6 years old.

  • That, is why you fail
