Darth Vader's "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!".
Exactly why did this bother so many fans?
I'm not turning my nose in the air, I seriously want to know.

Probably because it was cheesy.

Because it made the evil, brooding, and altogether awesome Dark Lord of the Sith sound like a whiny bitch.

Yeah, basically it just sounded REALLY dumb coming out of such a badass character.

And every time I see this, I comment with this:
This is not the 20 years later Vader, who's old and accepted how smurfed up his life is and is taking out on EVERYBODY.
This is the "I just got roasted on a lava planet, like an hour ago, by my best friend/father figure, am now living in this bodysuit for the rest of my life with numerous limbs replaced with machinery, and I just found out that I more or less caused my one true love to die, which the exact opposite thing I wanted to happen by making this Sith deal" Vader.
Wouldn't YOU scream like that?
And I also toss major kudos to James Earl Jones: his voice acting wasn't the "typical"/20 years later Vader. It was whiny Hayden Christensen Vader. Even though we probably all waited decades to hear him again, he stuck to the story and gave us the Vader who was in the here and now.

Someone falling to their knees and screaming 'NOOOO!' is kind of a cliché, and a cheesy one at that. Take that, and add James Earl Jones deep evil voice and you make the thing unintentionally hilarious.

I've seen a youtube clip where they edit out the NOOOOOOO, and a decent James Earl Jones sound-a-like just makes a "RRRRrRRRRRRRAAAAAGHHHHHHHHH" noise.
It actually didn't seem cheesy at all.
In my opinion, they needed to have the NOOOO trail of into just a random yell.
It's kinda like falling off a cliff. Nobody actually yells just words. They yell: HOLY SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT GAGAGAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *splat*

Star Wars Obsessive Fan: Damn it....this movie has actually been somewhat enjoyable....what am I gonna bitch about online now? Jar Jar was hardly there....I didn't notice any huge inaccuracies...... Darth: Noooooooooooooooooooooo Fan: That'll work. |

I laughed out loud when he shouted no.
That whole scene is horrendously stupid in my view.
Emperor basically f***s him over big time, by making him do things he did not want to do, and he still manges to get his love killed... and as a form of retaliation... he shouts NOOOOOOOOOOOO. At least attack the Emperor, or attempt to do so. THE GUY JUST LIED TO YOU, and you are a robot now!

There were machines blowing up left and right, he obviously tried to do something. |

Its really not that dumb for him to react like that. If I went through all that, and found out the love of my life has died, I'm sure Id probably let out a big "Noooooo!" as well. But on the other hand, it is kind of tacky and funny. |

I don't have a problem with it. It made me giggle the first time just because I never expected it. But by the 2nd viewing, I started to like its placement. It's the apex moment of the tragedy. Consider it the moment that finally shattered the man. The breaking point that sent him off into becoming the quiet, evil, bad-ass darklord. From that point forward the whiny little bitch was gone, and the dark, brooding, broken man took over.

Basically, it seemed out of character for the Dark Lord of the Sith. I mean, it's Vader! But yeah, in terms of context, it's very suitable. This is young Vader who just lost everyone he loves, and it was entirely his fault, not old, "more machine now than man, twisted and evil," Vader.

It sounded silly, but what else would really be an appropriate response there? Also, it gives a little more weight to Vader's later desperate (and yes, that is what they were) attempts to have Luke join forces with him.

Let me put it this way. The first time I heard it, I laughed out loud, nearly fell out of my chair. You should NEVER laugh at Darth Vader, intentionally or otherwise. Nothing he does should ever even have the possibility of being funny.

It must be a family thing. So Luke's NOOOOOOOOO is more acceptable than Vader's NOOOOOOOOOOOOO??? I never hear anyone complain about when Luke did it.
