Star Wars 2: In the Shadow of Yavin, Part Two

After hearing about James Earl Jones' passing, I thought I'd pay tribute to him by talking about what I think is his greatest scene.

The way James delivers this line absolutely destroys me. When Luke is trying to convince Vader to turn against the Emperor, he doesn't respond with the malice and arrogance of a Sith Lord but with the sadness and regret of a father who's forever lost any hope of salvation and desperately wants his son to give up trying to give him it because he thinks he can never reach it even though he knows he wants it.

It's a heart-shattering performance given by a legendary actor, and it's one of many reasons he will be dearly missed.

Ruby: You have GOT to see RoboCop, Penny! It's like my favorite film! It is SO GORY! like WAY gory than you'd expect! There's these government funded machines that just shoot innocent people! Like straight up gunning them down in the streets! But then it cuts to the government officials who approved it, and their just going on and on about how they're helping America, but then cuts back to the machines committing so many crimes! It's such a good satire of American hypocrisy! Oh, it's so GOOOOOOD, Penny! It's SO GOOD! What's YOUR favorite movie?!

Penny: ... um... I like... Muppets Treasure Island, Ruby...

Ruby: ...

Penny: ...

Ruby: ... I agree! That's such a GOOD movie! Tim Curry is GREAT as Long John Silver! He's such a joy to watch!

Penny: Oh. I didn't think you'd like this one as much since your favorite is so... R-rated.

Ruby: No, no, you need to judge movies based on what they're trying to do! One's trying to be cynical, the other's trying to be whimsical! And they both do a GREAT job! They're both VERY good!

Penny: Yeah! Yeah, that's a great way of looking at it!

Salem: WELL, MY FAVORITE MOVIE IS JURASSIC WORLD II!

Ruby: Oh, of course you'd pick a Chris Pratt film, you fucking normie!

From the earth.
