The long-demanded follow-up to Mimi's reaction to Vader's reveal in Empire (https://youtu.be/QSuuqNnbHZw). She typically has a lot to say and express throughout entire viewings, so I knew just recording the often-requested last scene with Vader and the Emperor wouldn't be enough.
Two things I feel are worth clarifying are that we traditionally watch movies with subtitles on since she's a little hard of hearing at 89 years young, which is why you may see her mouth some lines despite never seeing the film before. We also watched this and the previous films with a friend who requested not to be spotlighted, hence why I stuck with vertical screen dimensions on my iPhone.
There are several moments I was unable to catch from her due to having to conserve hard drive space and battery, but I can assure you that she was absolutely disgusted by Jabba (She even told me afterwards she hated him more than the Emperor), and perhaps her biggest laugh came from the face Han makes when he discovers Luke & Leia are siblings at the end.
Mimi has found your responses and love for her enthusiasm wonderful, and though we're taking a break from Star Wars for now, you can certainly count on seeing more of her reactions to iconic films in the future.
