Up. Clone Wars might start somewhat childlish, but eventually grows into serious story almost necessary to really understand how eventa of episode 3 came to be and explaining many parts of it (like true origins of clone army, clone betrayal, Qui-gon)
Anakin’s story is probably one of the best tragedies done in sci-fi. It’s something we all wish we couldn’t relate to but a lot of us do. Because we all think of ourselves as good people. We try to be good people but sometimes life puts us in position when we are forced to drift that line. It’s a story of in Lucas’s words “How does a good person become evil.”
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 You’ve never hurt people and drove them off? You never accidentally insult people? I mean that last one is a stretch compared to what goes down in the movie. But there’s very few people who are good all the time. Sometimes you hurt people, especially the ones you love.
I like how this movie showed that when people see someone struggling in life and choose to ignore that person's problems, it can cause that person to feel all alone and have no choice but to commit horrible sins to make things better for themselves. The jedi were portrayed in that way in this movie in my opinion, they were ignorant towards Anakin and lacked faith in him which caused him to question his allegiance to them and the jedi not helping Anakin, made him feel all alone and that's what caused him to take drastic action in order to save Padme, even though that backfired on him!
@@jermainehaslam5634 It also goes to show how bad rigid systems can be. Anakin broke the rules and knew that going to the Jedi about his secret life would have been bad. Which led him to go in the opposite direction. We have seen this play out with most organized religion over the years.
The reason R2D2 is so unique is because he's never had a routine memory wipe. All droids develop personality quirks after time, so they're given memory wipes to reset them. Anakin refused to have R2's memory wiped, so by the time of Ep 2, he's developed a strong personality and ingenuity that other droids don't have (the memory wipe issue even comes up in an episode of the Clone Wars TV series). By the time of Ep 6, R2 has gone more than 40 years without an annual memory wipe. CP3O, however, receives several memory wipes, therefore doesn't remember everything that happens during the saga. So in Ep 4, 3PO legitimately doesn't remember Obi-Wan, while R2 knows exactly who he is.
In the comics, he does remember stuff, but to him it is like dreams he can't remember or what they are. Just like a hard drive that is formatted, there are fragments of files floating around.
@@ItApproaches No, he says he doesn't remember ever *owning* a Droid. Which is true...from a certain point of view. Whether he recognizes the droids remains unanswered.
@@j0hnf_uk That is not the same as the inevalability of destiny. That is essentially what "tragic" means. Trying to avoid something and in doing so, causing it.
Yes, I understand that this was said by Master Oogway in Kung Fu Panda but he is not the originator of the quote. The quote was originally said by Jean de La Fontaine, a French poet of the 17th Century.
Is that why they blended two takes together? There is a point in it where you can see Anakin's posture change without him moving. He simply morphs into a higher-seated version of himself.
Fun fact that a buddy of mine told me. When Obi Wan said “Don’t try it.” He knew Anakin was going too try too use the same move that he used too kill Darth Maul in the past. He warned Anakin not too try it, but he didn’t listen.
@@Fatalbeast22 That’s probably exactly what Obi Wan was asking himself as Anakin combusted. He seemed to lean just enough towards Anakin being a danger that he chose to leave him.
As promised from previous reaction: Just a few months before his death, Christopher Lee aka Count Dooku told the reporter that the he and Anakin's fight scene was drastically different than what was shown. Per Lee, during the first scene, Dooku taunts Anakin, telling Anakin that Dooku hired the raiders to kidnap and slowly torture to death Anakin's mother. Then after Anakin goes berserk and "disarms" Dooku, Dooku is in the process of telling Anakin that he did it at the order of Sidious/Palpatine but Anakin cuts Dooku's head off before he can finish. After they filmed the scene, they thought it was going to be too dark, so they changed it. It slightly changes the scene and why Anakin would go Dark Side, along with how far ahead Palpatine planned in advance and manipulated people.
Each Episode of The Prequel Trilogy featured a funeral. Everyone that Anakin ever cared for: Qui-Gon Jinn - A father figure, that representing his loss of innocence. Shmi Skywalker - his mother, that representing his loss of mercy. Padme Amidala - his wife, that representing his loss of love. Each one leading him further into darkness. Each time a piece of himself was dying And in the end Anakin Skywalker died... Only Darth Vader remains
And in the extended universe Anakin becomes more and more cruel trying to find ways to bring back Padme. He lost his love for her, and instead became obsessed. It was no longer about what she wanted, but rather about creating a Utopia for himself with her as a part of it.
@@SirMan48 yes technically Darth Vadar was still Anakin Skywalker. HOWEVER, Obi Wan kenobie said the Anakin was seduced by the dark side and once he was led to the dark side the good man that was Anakin Skywalker CEASED TO BE and he vecane Darth vadar. So in a way yes Anakin did die. But then years later when Luke saved him he basically resurrects the good man Anakin Skywalker he used to be long ago and he was no longer Darth Vadar.... Kind of reminds me of Saul from the Holyy bible. God's chosen people feared him. On the road to Damascus he saw Hesus and lost his physical sight. Days later hid phsyical sight did return. But it took him being physically blind amoung other things to finally see the TRUTH AND THE LIGHT. And he was Saul no longer. And he our beloved brother Paul the Apostle. In Jesus Christ we can find salvation, Redemption forgiveness and mercy from our Heavenly Father God for our sins. And in him we are born again and made into a new man or woman in Jesus Christ. So for me and other Christians we also go through a spiritual transformation when we are born again spiritually when we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. We become a new man or woman in Christ. So for us, it's perfectly understandable why Saul ceased to be and he became Paul. A completely different man. No longer our enemy. But our brother in Christ. You can often find in movies even in Narnia and other films examples that we Christians can see another storyline and representation of our Lord or someone we know in the Bible
He stole it from Padawans he killed. Windu's comment about how he runs and hides like the coward that he is, makes it clear that Grievous is not considered a threat to fully-fledged Jedi. The movie and TCW is the true version, because they come from Lucas, not the miniseries and the EU, which are licensed fanfiction.
@@Verebazs Lucas signed off on all sorts of things that he changed at will when designing new movies, and has since signed over full rights to Disney. He doesn't care nearly as much about the cannon lore as fans do, and he doesn't deserve to have a say in what is true cannon, especially after selling the rights. Also I'm sure Grievous would run from Windu, but Windu, Yoda, and even Obi Wan are a bit ahead of most other masters, never mind knights. If we are simply judging Grievous' combat strength on how he matched up against Obi Wan then it would be odd to think he couldn't take on average Jedi especially knights. People somehow frequently under-rate Obi Wan's combat prowess, despite his ability to consistently take on opponents that should be outside his weight-class. I think a big part of that is his humility and caution, being misidentified as fear or weakness.
The reason Obi-Wan warns Anakin not to try it when he has the high ground, is because he knows how to defend against an attack like that, thanks to his use of that low ground attack against Darth Maul in Ep. 1. Also, to understand why Anakin does all this shit, you have to try to see things from his perspective. He left his mother at like age 8, which is far older than most younglings are accepted by the Jedi, so he already has a deep-seated fear of never seeing his mom again, and of losing people he admires and cares for, like when Qui-Gon was killed soon after freeing him. His childhood as a slave was pretty bleak, and then he's left with only one guy, Obi-Wan, who initially didn't want him along and is training him out of respect for his dead master. Kids can pick up on that kind of thing. Then, as a teenager, he's having to deal with Obi-Wan who is a strict master as that is normally how Padawans are trained since they don't normally have all the emotional baggage that Anakin has, hence his rebellious teen angst, combined with the fear of losing someone else he cares about, Padme, after the attempt on her life. He's angry at Obi-Wan for treating him like a child and not listening to his feedback, and he's old enough to understand the importance of "The Prophecy" that he is the Chosen One of, so he's got a bit of an inflated ego from that and instead of his mentor talking through things with him, he reprimands him. Then, he starts having nightmares of his mom dying (which it has been posited that Darth Sidious was projecting to him via the Force), and he blames the Jedi for keeping him busy on security detail as the reason he couldn't get to her in time (and growing up on Tatooine he knows how savage the Tuskens are). One can see why Anakin is having a hard time at this point. Couple this with the Jedi's diminishing control of the Force thanks to Darth Sidious weakening the Light Side through his fomenting the war with the CIS, which spreads fear and anger throughout the galaxy, and the Jedi are struggling to keep up appearances as the ever-wise and benevolent organization they portrayed themselves as, so Anakin starts to see the cracks in the facade. He also sees the corruption in the Republic and the hypocrisy of the Jedi, in allowing the slave trade in the Outer Rim to exist, and how those worlds are exploited by the Core worlds to enrich themselves. After the events of Ep. 2 Obi-Wan realizes that he needs to be less of a dick and more of a friend to Anakin, and during the Clone Wars the two do indeed become like brothers, saving each other numerous times in battles against evil. During the events of the series, he encounters representations of the Force on Mortis, where "The Son", the representation of the Dark Side, shows him visions of a terrible future (of Darth Vader specifically), and Anakin is so horrified by these premonitions that he willingly accepts the power of the Dark Side to keep them from becoming a reality. Ultimately his memories of this encounter are erased and he remains a Jedi, but the potential was shown that he sees the Dark Side as nothing more than a means to an end, not as an "evil" power to be avoided. Combined with his frustration with the patience required to master the Force and with how he sees the Jedi Council holding him back, he is particularly susceptible to the Dark Side at this stage. Finally in Ep. 3, the Jedi push too far in requiring him to be a spy on another of his mentors, Palpatine, which he views as an egregious breach of trust, and also evidence of the Jedi's corruption and desire for power, real or imagined. Being kept purposefully in the dark about matters, and then demanding he betray a friend's trust further divorce him from the Jedi way of thinking. His ego doesn't do him any favors either when he is allowed as an observer on the Council but not made a Master, despite his skill, power, and heroic deeds during the war, and is treated like a child again by Mace Windu. He only trusts Obi-Wan at this point and is sorely disappointed when his friend and mentor basically goes along with the Council in wanting him to spy on the chancellor. Yoda also betrays his trust when he goes to him after having the nightmares of Padme dying (also surmised to be planted by Palpatine) and Yoda tells him essentially "nah bro, emotions don't mean anything, just let go of those things and everything will be fine", which obviously he can't do, so he feels again that the Jedi just don't care about him. This is why when he tries to do the right thing and tells Windu about the Chancellor being the Sith Lord, and then goes to make sure the Chancellor isn't killed (because he is so desperate to save Padme at this point that he will do anything to gain the power to do so), he sees Mace Windu doing the same thing he chided himself for doing: summarily executing a political prisoner, and his faith in the Jedi Code is broken. This isn't helped by Mace's particular Jedi style (he has a purple saber because he is able to draw on both the Light and Dark sides without being corrupted, and is very aggressive), and Anakin decides in the heat of the moment that the Jedi are not worth his allegiance anymore if they're willing to do all this bad shit that they berate him for doing, essentially deciding that they don't practice what they preach. He has misgivings afterwards, but is so fearful of losing Padme and of losing the chance to learn how to, he pledges himself to Palpatine, because again, he sees the Dark Side as a tool, not as a corrupting force. He goes to Mustafar to carry out the execution of the Separatist leaders, which he knows isn't exactly right, but does so anyways. The moment on the balcony overlooking the lava, you can see tears running down his face, because he can see that he's straying from the ideals he once lived by, but he can't stop himself because of his near obsession with saving his secret wife now. As soon as he sees Obi-Wan step off of Padme's ship, he feels that she betrayed him because she was the only person he told where he was going, hence the choking, and then when Obi-Wan essentially writes him off immediately as a bad guy without even trying to help him, he feels even more betrayed. At the end, when he is lying there on the lavabank, all of the emotion that the Jedi have taught him he needs to suppress comes out in that "I HATE YOU!", and part of that is Obi-Wan's fault because again, he just wrote him off as a lost cause as soon as he did one bad thing. "Only a Sith deals in absolutes", he says, not caring that that too is an absolutism. As Vader he also hates what has been done to him by the Emperor, who he comes to understand has tricked him into doing a lot of things that benefit the Sith Lord, and does actually attempt to kill him, but the Emperor defeats him and leaves him broken on a backwater planet, saying that if he survives, he can return to his side as his apprentice, which of course, he does, through sheer hatred. It isn't until the end of Ep. 6 that he sees in Luke the Jedi he used to be, and that letting the Emperor do to his son what was done to him is unacceptable. That's why ultimately he redeems himself when he throws the Emperor down that shaft and saves Luke. He feared unleashing a new evil upon the galaxy, and this time his fear led him to do the right thing. Anakin Skywalker is a tragic character, and to fully appreciate him one must understand that he didn't just decide to be evil one day. A combination of factors over a long period of time made it happen. If in that same situation, could you really say you'd react any differently? The really sad irony is that Sidious couldn't have helped him save Padme. He lied to him to gain his trust. The Sith method of achieving 'immortality' is that of Essence Transference, where they invest another person or object with their consciousness (something the Jedi know about, as they actually have in the Archives an object containing an old Sith Lord's essence). This method would only work for a force-user, which Padme was not. Same with the Jedi method: becoming a Force ghost (like Obi-Wan and Yoda did in the original films). Again, only for a force-user, so Anakin would have lost her anyway, unless he had chosen NOT to listen to Sidious which is what actually led to her death :P
There is one little bit you're glossing over there, and that's the wholesale slaughter of the younglings. Even as a diehard RotS fan, I can't imagine any reason that the Anakin we knew would stoop that low, until after Padme's death. Probably the only real inconsistency in his character, and I chalk it up to the filmmakers wanting serious shock value.
@@HRPufnsting You know, I talked about it with a friend yesterday, and I changed my mind lmao. Dude clearly didn't value anybody's lives in front of Padme's, child or not
"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."
You gotta appreciate the genious of Palpatine's plan, as evil as it is. Ep.1- he stakes a crisis on his homeworld that results in the old chancellor's dismissal AND generates sympathy for him to get elected. Ep. 2- as his term is coming to an end, he provokes another crisis that grants him emergency powers. He does that by having his new apprentice, Dooku, hijack genuine movement dissatisfied at the corrupt state he's turned the Republic into (and thus the most likely to oppose his takeover) and force it into separatist war with the Republic. It also lets him create an army secretely loyal to him, and him only. Clone Wars and Ep. 3. - both Separatist and Republic societies are exhausted by incredibly destructive war and more willing to accept any regime as long as it means peace. The Jedi are spread thin as field commanders across the galaxy, with Palpatine's soldiers (whom they grew to trust) at their backs... Also, Jedi being in charge of war on both sides (Dooku used to be an esteemed Jedi Master) makes population blame them for the war. On top of that, he gets the Jedi to commit actual treason by spying on him and trying to overthrow him/murder him. Additional brilliance point- in the ancient history the Sith waged many open wars against the Republic and Jedi. This is what the Jedi thought the clone wars was. It always failed- but under Palpatine, it's the Republic that destroyed the Jedi.
Evil is relative. The books are far more detailed than the movies which, as movies do, concentrate certain things and omit others. The Old Republic, to be honest, is corrupt to the bone and the Jedi are a "do as we say" inquisition style police force that has no patience with "alternate views" - hence the "Dark Jedi" and their joining with the Sith. The universe seeks balance. :) And, yes, Palpatine's plan was eloborate and worked out quite well - the first time the Sith (pre and post Darth Bane) managed to get the upper hand. Didn't last, though. :)
@@Johnadams20760 - That's right to a point. While there was a lot of time between the movies, the books kept coming. And the Old Republic background was only ever hinted at back in the classical episodes as the empire was already around. When they did episode I the content clashed a bit with the books. The classical episodes didn't really dive into the history of the empire or the Jedi (with only Obi Wan and Yoda around anymore) that left room for the books to create a somewhat less idealistic view on the Jedi as a whole. There is a brief glimpse of that when Mace Windu tries to just kill the chancellor and disregards the law, echoing the Jedi mantra: WE are the law. :)
@@haraldschuster3067 i guess i am thinking of the original trilogy the most. by the time the prequels came out there was 16 years of expanded universe stuff, albiet most of it had to be ok'd by lucas, but the concept of the movies were movies, and books simply gave extra detail. where as most movie series are based on existing books and they shorten them. i guess that is why star wars is meant for the big screen more than anything!
"He knows. How does he know?" He's the one who sent the vision to Anakin. That wasn't a true vision of the future. Palpatine manipulated him until it was a self fulfilling prophesy.
The lengths to which Star Wars fans tend to overexplain things never ceases to amaze me. Where in the movie is that in any way infered? Just because a Sith can see things through the force that might happen to others? It is rather as Yoda said it to Luke in "TESB". "In constant movement the future is, hard to see". No one other than the force itself sent Anakin that vision.
It's a fan theory. Some versions of it are that Palps saw the vision too, but knew that it was only a possible future and he'd have to manipulate events to get there. Another version is that Palps knew about the marriage from his contacts on Naboo, him being the former senator from the planet, and did a mix of bluffing and subtle force manipulation to push Anakin to where he wanted him. I think it's a bit of a mix of these - Palps saw the vision and sent an edited version of it to Anakin, then dropped the "tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise" on him, leaving him ready to be manipulated into joining the dark side through persuasion and manipulation. Side note, Darth Plagueis was Palpatine's master, so he was speaking from experience about how Plagueis was killed by his apprentice.
@@evanflynn4680 Ah... a fan theory... Those fans that theorized that Palpatine was a clone... I remember the ludicrous discussions fom 2002 very well. ;)
Christopher Lee did an interview before he died. In the scene where Anakin kills Dooku, Lee says originally he taunted Anakin and told her he sent the sand people to torture his mother so he would experience that before these of his wife. That footage was edited out yes but it was the original intent according to that actor.
The animated film and series, The Clone Wars, fills in the gaps between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith; after that is The Bad Batch, Rebels and The Mandalorian
@@gabbygarant-grenon4911 Rebels comes after RotS and leads right up to before Rogue One - it definitely fills in some gaps and is absolutely a must-watch to complete the saga having said that though.
The irony of Anakin turn to the dark side and Padme death. I’ve always looked at it like Palpatine had a hand in it. Anakins turn was to stop Padme death. And her death was b/c of what Anakin was willing to do. I have always liked the visual of Padme death synchronized with the rebirth of Anakin into Vader. To me I felt like maybe Palpatine took Padme life to same Anakin. Like a life for a life. The losing the will to live never felt right. Glad you enjoyed
Qui Gon is not alive. Qui-Gon discovered how to, communicate with living people even after he died. 'cause Jedi don't exactly die, they "become one with the force", their spirit becomes part of the Force.
I thinks sort of an advanced Jedi Master skill. If strong enough and trained a Jedi can commune with the living as force ghosts. That would explain why all Jedi cannot necessarily do it. Yoda was going to teach Obi Wan and then he was able to help guide Luke even after passing over.
@@FreddieHg37 Anakin wasnt that powerfull after he lost all of his arms and legs, its explained in several books if a force user loosing limbs he looses midichlorians
If you‘re sad, that it’s over, there is a tv show called Star Wars the Clone Wars. It is considered by many people the best thing, that Star Wars ever brought out. It has great world building, great new characters and fleshes out the relationships between already existing characters to an extent that movies can’t even dream of. If you want more Anakin and Obi-Wan, watch the series. If you want to more R2-D2 and C-3PO, watch the series. If you want more of the Clones, General Grievous Yoda or the other Jedi and Sith, watch the series. *It is literally so good!* The universe is far from explored. You said you were thankful to experience this world, but there is so much more. You have no idea how big this universe is. So if you want, Clone Wars is a show that was made with so much love, there is no way someone couldn’t like it.
I couldn't stand Ahsoka calling R2 "Artooie" and pretty much all of the nicknames. What season does that stop? I also didn't like the opening where the announcer sounds like he's trying to announce for Movie Fone or something. How much can I skip, because I would like to see the GOOD episodes. Any Clone Wars advice?
Lol.... Wasnt expecting that "Fuck You" when palpatine was talking to yoda.... Lmao... Made me almost spit out my drink with laughter.... U was feelin that F U too blue ... Haha .. awesome 🤣
General grievous is a cyborg internal organs only the rest machine. He has the good lightsabre colours because he has killed multiple jedi and took them as trophies. His bodyguards use electostaffs that are made using a rare metal called phrik which is lightsabre resistant. Great reaction blue 😃
@@IDyce88 He's a Kaleeshi warlord, who hated the Republic and the Jedi for siding with the enemy in a war the Kaleesh started but were getting beaten in :P He was nearly killed in a shuttle accident and rebuilt into the cyborg he is now.
@@lordmortarius538 thereby Said the Shuttle Crash was illustrated by the CIS to force him to serve them out of debt and by using his allready given hate for the Republic and Jedi
The reason Palpatine was able to take out so many masters at once, but not Windu is because his saber style is specifically designed to counter the forms that most Jedi use. He doesn’t banter with the flashies, he just goes for the weak spot and an immediate kill; whereas most Jedi are trying to incapacitate or disarm their opponents. Mace Windu has a purple saber because he’s at balance between light and dark sides. He’s able to use anger, but in a righteous way, and Palpatine has never fought someone who is a Guardian (duel focused) that has come to peace with the dark side of the force as well. Windu’s force ability is also to see “shatterpoints” which is basically the ability to intuitively know where the weakest point of a person or structure is. Mace Windu and The Skywalker bloodline are the only Jedi in existence that would have even a chance against him. (But that’s also all info from Legends which was retconned for the sequel trilogy)
Isnt it also said that his style of lightsaber combat is exceptionally dangerous because it draws on the Dark Side and grows exponentially more powerful the further in the Dark Side his opponent is?
the notion that the Legends were "retconned" is false. to be clear, the Expanded Universe operated under levels of canon, the lower levels bowing in favor of the higher levels, essentially nothing was really canon unless specifically stated in the movies, the G-Canon, the highest level. all this was organized and cleared up with the introduction of the Legends, the lower levels of Canon were now legends and only the true canon, the Movies George had made, was left. so to say that they are "no longer canon" is false, since they never really were.
I have waited a long time for THIS moment.... Yeah, basically, Lucas knew that technology was a LONG way away from creating his vision of the first part(trilogy) of the saga, so he began where he did(and even THAT wasn't up to his vision, but he "made due" and created what he could for the time). Watch "Empire of Dreams" for a better/longer explanation of what I mean. Also, you should watch the Clone Wars, Bad Batch, and Rebels animated series. You'll get a LOT of context for character development in them. I should warn you, though... the final 4 episodes of the Clone Wars series run concurrent to this movie. Meaning, they detail events going on at the same time as this movie, but from a different perspective. You might want to have tissues around for that... The Bad Batch begins right at the end of the Clone Wars, and generally takes place immediately after the end of the war. The overall timeline goes like this: Episode I, Episode II, The Clone Wars(movie and series), Episode III(with the final 4 episodes of Clone Wars interweaving with it), The Bad Batch(animated series), Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, Episode IV, Episode V, Episode VI, The Mandalorian(Live action series, takes place 9 years after Episode VI), Episode VII, Episode VIII, Episode IX. Coming in December, we have "The Book of Boba Fett" live action series, but I won't tell you where it fits in the timeline right now. That would be a spoiler. Next year, are several Live Action series, and the Bad Batch season 2. But don't discount the animated series... they are REALLY well done, both visually, and written wise. 20:50 - Remember, Palpatine is from the same planet(Naboo) Padme' was. No doubt he had spies there, which informed him of the wedding. Of course, it's only speculation about that, and he could have simply known through the Dark Side of The Force... 21:50 - Yes. Grievous was once a fully organic being. There's a story there, about how he became like this... but too long for a simple reply. 22:43 - "If what you've told me is true, you will have gained my trust." .... Mace literally admitted that he didn't trust Anakin in this statement. Not that he really hid it completely before, but at this point, he literally told Anakin, "Hey, kid... I haven't trusted you since the day I met you. Right then, I said you shouldn't be trained....(think back to Episode I)... but maybe, just maybe, I was wrong.(insert obligatory Samuel L. Jackson "Motherfucker" in there somewhere 😉😁🤣🤣🤣) 23:18 - A "Sith Ability"... Force Scream, I believe it's called. It disorients your opponents for a few seconds, to give you an advantage. 26:52 - As Meatloaf said in that song.... "I would do ANYTHING for Love..... But I won't do THAT....." ;) 37:00 ish.... - George Lucas has always said that the Saga has rhymes, and parallels... With that in mind, notice here, as Padme' lay dying, so does Anakin.... and as Luke and Leia are born, so truly, is Darth Vader. 39:02 - No, Qui-Gon isn't alive.... but, if you watch the Clone Wars animated series, you will see that he learned how to (partially) manifest himself after death(like Obi-Wan did in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi). That's the most I'm going to tell you..... watch the series, and you'll find out what I mean.
I love Revenge of the Sith and it's definitely my favourite star wars film! This is the one out of all the movies that manages to leave me fucked up emotionally, the fall of the jedi, Anakin's tragic turn to the dark side, Obi Wan and Padme's grief of losing Anaking to the dark side, a sad story with great lightsaber battles
When married couples have been together for 60+ years and one passes away often the surviving spouse doesn't live long after, and you can understand why, their being is shattered in two, the other half of themselves is gone. That's what Padmé was feeling and she just couldn't live on without the Anikan that she knew and loved.
I hated that part of the movie for years, as I thought it was really dumb that Palme died from a case of the sads. It was only when Debbie Reynolds died of heartbreak a day after Carrie Fisher passed, that I finally understood.
@@homiedclown And Anakin was correct too when he said he can’t live without Padmé, from a certain point of view. After she dies, the only thing keeping him alive is machinery and he truly abandons his old self and embraces being Darth Vader.
Even though this is true, I am myself partial to the theory that Palpatine actually channeled the life of Padme into Anakin to make him survive his wounds. Maybe that was only possible due to the fact that Padmes will had been shattered by the heartbreak.
I like how when Anakin killed count dooku, he was holding the red lightsaber and the blue lightsaber symbolizing his confliction with the light side and the dark side. He chose to kill him, which meant his eventual fate to the dark side.
The scene is also a mirror of the final confrontation in Return of the Jedi, right down to the architecture of the room. In both, a Jedi stands over a fallen Sith and is told by Palpatine to kill him. One does, the other doesn't.
That “combover” born out of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise was 🔥 Vader actually didn’t kill her by force choking, it was that she lost the will to live knowing Anakin was lost to the Dark Side, even though she knew there was good in him. And that’s where the Emperor lies to him, saying in his anger he killed her.
@@SpeedOfThought1111 It's never been confirmed but I've always assumed that Anakin created a connection with Padme through the Force. When he turned on her he severed that connection, which is like cutting an artery. As soon as that happened she was doomed. The droids can't explain what's happening because it's not a medical issue, it's a mystical issue, a Force problem. They say she's lost the will to live but actually, she held on long enough to make sure her children were born and would live.
@@jedsithor In my opinion I believe that Sidious was draining Padme's life force and using it to keep Anakin/Darth Vader alive long enough for the suit's life support systems to start functioning. All that losing her will to live is lazy writing in my opinion, and giving birth to two children should be motivation enough to want to live.
@@2apocalypsex I do not think it is lazy writing. It is setting up the fact that no one outside of Sidious (Plegueis being dead already) knows that manipulating mediclorians into saving and taking life is possible. The medic droid cannot explain that. Yoda and Obi Wan have no idea it is possible. I personally think it is solid writing because explaining it makes even less sense and looking more into Sidious and Plagueis explains just how hard this was to actually achieve. We should be thinking "this is bullshit, her 2 children are reason enough to live", and therefore we should be using what we know and can find out to explain why it happened the way it did.
@@danielcooper3289 100% I think the writing works along with the fact that sidious using sith magic and I heard if you listen really carefully you can hear two heart beats as anakin is reborn into Vader padmes stops
When you look at mythology in general, it emerges out of religion, and the mythology itself is presented as a cautionary tale, it tells us how to conduct ourselves. The thing I love about Star Wars is that it shows that you can be human and still live that same story, and to me it is awesome how you immediately went to examples out of your own life - that means you underatood the message of the movie, but also you are adding to its mythology in a way. I really enjoyed these reactions, and hope I will see you look at Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, as well as Solo: A Star Wars Story, after that there is the Clone Wars Animates Series, as well as the Mandalorian - there is a lot of Star Wars lore left to unpack. Even the episodes 7, 8 and 9...
actually the council was wrong too. this movie is a series of failures with Anakin, by the Jedi, by obi-wan and by Yoda. and The Chancellor explored these failures and made the most tragic outcome. "meeting your destiny on the way to avoid it" Anakin taught he was doing everything to avoid the death of Padme when actually he was going towards that fate. And The Jedi were entrenched in tradition and dogmatism to help him properly when he needed them
27:10 Oh, he plotted more then that, He had the Clone Army produced, he plotted the Seperatist, he created the whole war and everything around it, some even say he even constructed the birth of Anakin.... this whole conflict from Episode 1 on...it just went JUST AS PLANNED
36:20 Yeah, you're right. Out of love people can be able to do horrible thing and acts of extremely courage. Some cultures treated love as a disease that blind and get people mad. But I sense that those wise words that you said are pretty heavy for your hearth. You identify yourself in some things with Anakin and I guess we all do. Hugs to you.
39:34 “She’s so beautiful.” Padme was holding the little japor snippet that Anakin had given her when they first met on Tattooine. For me, that is the saddest detail of the movie.
I haven't seen one series finale where you haven't cried (trust me I cried too) AND I AM HERE FOR IT!!!! It's impossible not to cry at these moments, and I want to thank you for letting us see your vulnerable side.
I love to see people enjoy and understand the prequels as they were meant to be enjoyed and understood! No biased influence… just pure, real, reaction to the story. So awesome to see these movies get the love they deserve!
You are still missing a piece of your puzzle, you need to watch "Rogue One" great movie; think of it as Star Wars 3.5 takes place between this movie and "A New Hope". Probably best depiction of Darth Vader in his prime.
Ehhhhh, just see the Vader scene by itself. That story was told far better in the "Rebel Dawn" Han Solo novel; compared to that Rogue One was the worst piece of Star Wars content ever released; I'd rather watch the Holiday Special twice than see Rogue One ever again
Never forget the theory that Jar Jar was supposed to be the big Sith Lord for this trilogy, possibly even Emperor's master and Darth Plagues. I can actually see that being true. Lucas did his "It's like poetry, they rhyme" and started with Jar Jar as a "comic relief", just like wih Yoda. However, he went way overboard (you could argue even offensively) and investors or shareholders were clearly happy with the money the movie made, but told George to lose the character immediately.
@@CalciumChief Why do people think this is good, original, logical or suitable? Seriously, make the slapstic comic relief the villain and you think anyone would take him seriously? Do you forget how pathetic was Grievous in TCW because they used him as a joke? This will be much worse because Jar Jar doesn't even look intimidating. And no, Lucas didn't plan this out. He said that Jar Jar was inspired by Goofy. We already had two Sith in Phantom Menace and Palpatine was obviously the mail villain of the trilogy. Jar Jar played his role - was a fool manipulated by Palpatine in 2nd film.
I can't help but tell you in the nicest way that you awesomely look like if Orlando Bloom had a younger sister. Legolas: "They've taken the Hobbits to Isengard!"
Anakin's greatest weakness is his fear of loss; he fears losing the ones he cares about...obviously as we know this started with his mother. In the Clone Wars he made both good and bad decisions that made him a heroic figure in some people's eyes and less so in other's eyes. Anakin lost comrades then as well but Obi Wan and Padme were the ones that mattered to him most. The three major Jedi Masters; Master Yoda, Master Mace Windu and the third Master Cin Drallig (who was supposed to have a scene in this film where he fought Vader and defended the Jedi Temple but it was taken out due to time restraints) they all had their own skills and their own views of Anakin. Yoda was probably the most balanced...always concerned about him but tried to give him the benefit of the doubt...kind of like Obi Wan. Master Windu was the best duelist and didn't overly trust Anakin, he could sense the darkness growing in Anakin but he couldn't tell where it was coming from. Master Drallig was cautious and more of a teacher but he was brilliant in using force abilities; when the rest of the Jedi went into space in the Clone Wars he was trusted to stay behind and protect the Jedi Temple. Drallig could sense Anakin had amazing potential but also recognised his fears made him very susceptible to manipulation.
25:00 Almost exactly the same discussion Anakin had with Palpatine in regards to Count Dooku but reversed. Palpatine knew from the beginning what Anakin cared most about was family and losing them and used that to become a father figure to him. The jedi at this point were arrogant, and it showed by being afraid of telling the Senate how their abilities in the force had diminished among other things. They had become too passive and complacent and paid dearly for it. If Gui Gon had taught Anakin instead of Obi One, his outcome could have been much different. However, in the end Anakin did bring balance to the force. Each side essentially had one master and one apprentice.
Qui Gonn isn’t alive, he’s a Force Ghost. That’s why Yoda said he discovered the path to immortality. It turns out because he was a mystic and studied so many different things about the Force but especially the Midichlorians and the Living Force, he accidentally preserved his consciousness in the Cosmic Force, he teaches this ability to Obi Wan which is how he becomes a Force Ghost in the old trilogy.
I mean technically. It's a really good thing Anakin wasn't killed off by Obi-Wan. If he did kill him. His prophecy fulfillment would never have succeeded. Since ultimately without Anakin's help. Luke would just simply not have been able to take on Palpatine alone. So in the end Anakin did fulfil his prophecy and brought balance back. Also about Anakin killing Padme. It's actually talked about and almost accepted that Palpatine was actually the ultimate killer of Padme. Essentially what is believed is that, because Anakin was so critically injured he was dying. So Palpatine used Padme's life force for Anakin while he was being operated on in order to save him but in turn also killed her.
Two interesting facts about Star Wars, General Grievous's cough was actually a recording of George Lucas when he was sick and Samuel L.Jackson asked George Lucas to make his light saber purple because it was his favorite color and so that he could see himself onscreen.
This is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. You are amazing. So glad the algorithm suggested you. I cried with you and felt everything you did through this. You have such a big heart.
Most of the seasons are random filler like that time the droids went to search for a republic memory card for 5 episodes... which adds nothing to the movies like the rest of the arcs.
@@wolfpredator1000 I would disagree. There are a few arcs that are fillers, but I feel like most of the series is great character building. The animation is great, and the action is fantastic. But I do respect your opinion. I am sorry you did not feel like the series was worth your time.
@@JangTheKim Characters that have nothing to do with the movies, not actually end as part of a conclusive story with a meaning behind them, like the clones, they just die to add drama. The 2d animation did all it needed to be done, Anakin's knighthood, the kidnap of Palpatine and Anakin learning to to use the dark side in battle, all in two hours, no need to pull endless side stories
@@wolfpredator1000 I think they actually did a great job giving the clones life. I was invested in them. Giving the clones life made order 66 way more meaningful. Although the prequals were about Anakin turning in Vader, it was more than just that for me. It was about the all the Jedis and why and how they were exterminated. It was also about the relationships between everyone and how those relationships were torn apart. The relationships between the Jedis and clones are included in this. But no anger towards you. Everyone has a different view on Clone Wars and Star Wars in general. So, thanks for sharing your viewpoints. I am not here to convince you to like the Clone Wars. I just think it's worth Blue's time. And don't forget Ahsoka. She's one of my favorite characters.
A line I always like to point out, both Palatine after Dooku's death and Windu before his own death state, "He's too dangerous to be kept alive", and each time Anakin states how he feels, "It's not the Jedi way". In the moment, he is given yet another example of what he see's as Jedi hypocrisy. In that moment are they really that different from the Sith?
According to Star Wars lore, Obi-Wan was able to learn how to still communicate with the living once he became a force ghost (the term for Jedi who had given up their corporeal bodies). His old master Qui-Gon Jinn taught him.
Grievous is a Kaleesh warrior who was turned into a cyborg, and he use the sabers he stole from Jedi he killed, that's why the blade colors are blue and green!
I was lucky enough to see this at a midnight showing on release day. The theater was packed. Everyone cheered so loudly when Yoda and Palpatine dueled in the senate room! The audience was really into it the whole time, it was really fun. Those were the days…
Hi Blue. I know a lot of people are saying watch the clone wars series, and yes you should, but I think the biggest reason of all to watch it is to learn about Anakin's padawan and how she factors into everything. Although she was never mentioned in the films, she played an important part in the story of Anakin Skywalker.
Hope you will continue with the rouge one and solo movies and also episodes 7, 8, and 9 to see how the skywalker saga ends. Some people didnt like the last three movies but I thought they were entertaining.
23:25 “he’s just slaying them left and right…I thought they were masters…” Indeed…simply put…it can be difficult to translate into camera…but the simplest way of putting it is “he’s just THAT powerful” The scream/shout as he launched also if a dark side ability designed to overwhelm the force senses of others kinda like a force version of a flash bag grenade
The real-world reason is that Ian McDiarmid was doing the stuntwork himself-I’ve heard that Lucas wanted to get close-ups of Ian and Samuel’s faces; I’ve also heard that Ian’s stunt double was sick on the day of shooting. Regardless, the stunt coordinator got rid of the other three Jedi to make the scene less onerous on Ian (who isn’t a stunt fighter and didn’t show up for filming physically trained for stunt fighting).
@@GrapeCheckerBoard the majority of the dueling was using a face swap onto a double, same as the majority of the duel with dooku Whatever the real world reason, there are going to be those who ask “wait…how…?” The “scaling” of power makes things difficult to show…just look at dragon ball z for example…
Dark Sidious: "Your Arrogance blinds you Master Yoda." Trixy Blue: " Fuck you" The Emperor: "Good good I can feel your anger" Yoda : "....anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering." Trixy Blue.... angry (look at her face), hating ( Palpatine), and a little suffering (those tears) FULLY INVESTED!!!!!
@@raulh5457 you realise she has fan suggestions right? It's not like she magically found all these movies all at once. Also if you think it's fake why not go somewhere else for your reaction fix?
Clone Wars might start somewhat childlish, but eventually grows into serious story almost necessary to really understand how episode 3 came to be and explaining many parts of it (like true origins of clone army, it shows you the human side of the clones as well as their tragic betrayal, Qui-gon, it makes ten times sadder the anakin's fall and how by the seasons is losing it with the jedi, obi and anakins relationship a lot better than in the movies and the ahsoka character that is one of the best developments in a animated character ever
Anakin is the chosen one and brought balance to the force by having two children. Also you could say all 6 movies is the story of Anaking Skywalker from Light to Darkness and to Light again ^^
It's been amazing to go through this journey with you, to see how you relate to this world and these characters. For a long time I've had the belief that this story has always been about Anakin Skywalker. The prequels chronicle the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker and the originals chronicle the redemption of Anakin Skywalker. I hope you continue with the franchise via the Clone Wars series and Rogue One and Solo. If you watch the sequel trilogy I say try to keep an open mind and just remember that George Lucas didn't write ANY of it. LOL
@@jeremyfrost2636 It's nice to see someone not acting like the sequels don't exist and crapping all over them while trying to force someone not to watch them
@@paulgarcia9682 Exactly. I hope I never get to the point where I tell a reactor "Don't watch X", because honestly it's kind of a fascist thing to say.
"I can FEEL your anger" "OMG it sounds like he gets off on that" lmao I thought the same thing. Reminds me a little bit of Tim Curry talking about his weird floating fetish in the movie It.
Never fear, the Star Wars franchise is alive and well, and the adventures don't end here. While I can't recommend movie Episodes 7-9, I do suggest you watch Rogue One, next. This is a stand alone movie not part of the Skywalker Saga, and it forms a bridge between what you've just watched, to what happens hours before Ep 4, A New Hope. If you wanted to take a deeper dive into this franchise which you seem to enjoy, watch the Clone Wars animated series. You'll get a very deep immersion of what happens during movies 2 and 3, and there are some very heart-breaking moments in those 7 seasons (probably not something you want to do a reaction to since it would take a long time to get through the series. You also have the live action show The Mandalorian, set in the Star Wars universe...but just a word of caution: if you really want to understand more about the Mandalorian culture, the you must watch TCW and Rebels. So you see, Trixie, there is still a much larger world for you to explore.
Qui Gon has transformed into the force after his death. Yoda tells Obi Wan “how to commune with him, I will teach you”. So Yoda teaches Obi how to talk to Qui Gons ghost and about the immortality that Jedi have after death with the force. This is how Obi learns and is able to talk to Luke all the time after his death in episode 4.
I don't know if you're a reader, but the novelization is fantastic. Really delves into the inner monologs and tells some of the same scenes from different perspectives.
The novelization is arguably the greatest Star Wars novel of all time with the imagery and symbolism it delves into. Seriously, if anyone reading this only ever reads a single Star Wars novel, let it be the Episode 3 novel.
In the novels, it describes Palpatine’s speed as looking like a blur, plus as he used “force scream”, the other 3 masters had no chance. The only reason Windu was able to keep up is because Mace Windu used a fighting method that requires the fighter to tap into the dark side, which is why he was able to defend himself from Sidious attack.
The clones had chips in there head. Thats why the Jedi couldn't sense the betrayal, the clones would never do it by themself. It's working like a hypnosis, it's just clicked from one moment to another when they heard Order 66...
Is that a new canon thing? As far as I knew, they were genetically modified to be more obedient, therefore easier to get to follow even this kind of order.
@@sertaki They were modified, but if you watch clone wars, Rebels or Bad Batch you will see. In the Bad Batch they show you what happened right after order 66 and they explain the inhibitor chips in the clones.
Eh….if you have grown attached to these characters I would NOT recommend 7,8,9. 🤷🏻♂️ I myself have not even seen 9. It’s crazy to me but there is a Star Wars movie I have never seen 🤯. Thanks to 8 I have no desire to see it. Plus I saw the synopsis on TH-cam. It’s horrible. Although it’s pretty fresh to you so you won’t have decades to imagine their continued adventures and lives only to see that the powers that be only wanted to subvert your expectations. If you don’t have expectations you might not totally hate it, although you will find them incredibly repetitive. Different strokes for different folks but for me it ends with episode 6, followed by season one and two of Mando and frankly not sure if it will go past that. We will see 🤷🏻♂️
The way they show the birth of Luke and Leia just as their father goes from Anakin to Vader completely is so awesomely done, obviously having Padme pass away is super sad but it’s necessary to maintain continuity with the original trilogy
I’m 36. I saw this movie in theaters during my sophomore or junior year of college with a friend who was a senior at the time. He died at the age of 37 due to COVID. It’s hard watching this movie. I remember the entire theater applauding when it ended.
If you don’t want it to end, watch the Clone Wars animated series. It ran for several seasons and was really quite good.
It is a bit hit-and-miss however, especially in the early seasons.
But later on, when it takes off, it really does take off!
Up.
Clone Wars might start somewhat childlish, but eventually grows into serious story almost necessary to really understand how eventa of episode 3 came to be and explaining many parts of it (like true origins of clone army, clone betrayal, Qui-gon)
And watch Rogue One!
Season 7 was the best season imo
I say do a Let's Play of KOTOR.
Anakin’s story is probably one of the best tragedies done in sci-fi. It’s something we all wish we couldn’t relate to but a lot of us do. Because we all think of ourselves as good people. We try to be good people but sometimes life puts us in position when we are forced to drift that line. It’s a story of in Lucas’s words “How does a good person become evil.”
Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
I can really only take everyone else's word for it. I can't relate to it at all.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 You’ve never hurt people and drove them off? You never accidentally insult people? I mean that last one is a stretch compared to what goes down in the movie. But there’s very few people who are good all the time. Sometimes you hurt people, especially the ones you love.
I like how this movie showed that when people see someone struggling in life and choose to ignore that person's problems, it can cause that person to feel all alone and have no choice but to commit horrible sins to make things better for themselves. The jedi were portrayed in that way in this movie in my opinion, they were ignorant towards Anakin and lacked faith in him which caused him to question his allegiance to them and the jedi not helping Anakin, made him feel all alone and that's what caused him to take drastic action in order to save Padme, even though that backfired on him!
@@jermainehaslam5634 It also goes to show how bad rigid systems can be. Anakin broke the rules and knew that going to the Jedi about his secret life would have been bad. Which led him to go in the opposite direction. We have seen this play out with most organized religion over the years.
The reason R2D2 is so unique is because he's never had a routine memory wipe.
All droids develop personality quirks after time, so they're given memory wipes to reset them. Anakin refused to have R2's memory wiped, so by the time of Ep 2, he's developed a strong personality and ingenuity that other droids don't have (the memory wipe issue even comes up in an episode of the Clone Wars TV series). By the time of Ep 6, R2 has gone more than 40 years without an annual memory wipe. CP3O, however, receives several memory wipes, therefore doesn't remember everything that happens during the saga. So in Ep 4, 3PO legitimately doesn't remember Obi-Wan, while R2 knows exactly who he is.
In the comics, he does remember stuff, but to him it is like dreams he can't remember or what they are. Just like a hard drive that is formatted, there are fragments of files floating around.
@@tdrewman Is that from Legends or from new canon?
@@sertaki Canon
Though Obi-Wan says he doesn't recall R2 lol.
@@ItApproaches
No, he says he doesn't remember ever *owning* a Droid. Which is true...from a certain point of view.
Whether he recognizes the droids remains unanswered.
There is an old saying that goes like this. "One often meets their destiny on the path they take to avoid it."
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
@@j0hnf_uk That is not the same as the inevalability of destiny. That is essentially what "tragic" means. Trying to avoid something and in doing so, causing it.
Isn’t that from Kung fu panda
Yes, I understand that this was said by Master Oogway in Kung Fu Panda but he is not the originator of the quote. The quote was originally said by Jean de La Fontaine, a French poet of the 17th Century.
@@mfdslayer8810 jack black
Fun fact: In the opera scene, Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) was actually sick that day. But you’d never know it. A great performance of manipulative evil.
I never knew that. That's the best scene in the film, and he just nailed it.
Is that why they blended two takes together? There is a point in it where you can see Anakin's posture change without him moving. He simply morphs into a higher-seated version of himself.
@@coladict I believe you can see his posture change during the scene because of Anakin’s uneasiness.
Fun fact that a buddy of mine told me.
When Obi Wan said “Don’t try it.” He knew Anakin was going too try too use the same move that he used too kill Darth Maul in the past. He warned Anakin not too try it, but he didn’t listen.
Facts
It doesn't make much sense that Obi Wan was able to pull that move off against a trained Sith with that angle in the first place, but oh well.
@@MimMdance he just got lucky
I always think "Did Obi-Wan really have to leave anakin there to set on fire?"
@@Fatalbeast22 That’s probably exactly what Obi Wan was asking himself as Anakin combusted. He seemed to lean just enough towards Anakin being a danger that he chose to leave him.
As promised from previous reaction: Just a few months before his death, Christopher Lee aka Count Dooku told the reporter that the he and Anakin's fight scene was drastically different than what was shown. Per Lee, during the first scene, Dooku taunts Anakin, telling Anakin that Dooku hired the raiders to kidnap and slowly torture to death Anakin's mother. Then after Anakin goes berserk and "disarms" Dooku, Dooku is in the process of telling Anakin that he did it at the order of Sidious/Palpatine but Anakin cuts Dooku's head off before he can finish. After they filmed the scene, they thought it was going to be too dark, so they changed it. It slightly changes the scene and why Anakin would go Dark Side, along with how far ahead Palpatine planned in advance and manipulated people.
THAT would been a lot better
wow, yeah it would have changed so much of the mood
i never knew that. and there is very little that passes me by. thanks!
This version would definitely have been better, but would've also deprived us of the iconic "dew it!"
I never knew this. it would have made more sense!
Each Episode of The Prequel Trilogy featured a funeral.
Everyone that Anakin ever cared for:
Qui-Gon Jinn - A father figure, that representing his loss of innocence.
Shmi Skywalker - his mother, that representing his loss of mercy.
Padme Amidala - his wife, that representing his loss of love.
Each one leading him further into darkness.
Each time a piece of himself was dying
And in the end Anakin Skywalker died... Only Darth Vader remains
And in the extended universe Anakin becomes more and more cruel trying to find ways to bring back Padme. He lost his love for her, and instead became obsessed. It was no longer about what she wanted, but rather about creating a Utopia for himself with her as a part of it.
Until Luke brings him back
Anakin never died. Vader is Anakin.
@@SirMan48 yes technically Darth Vadar was still Anakin Skywalker.
HOWEVER, Obi Wan kenobie said the Anakin was seduced by the dark side and once he was led to the dark side the good man that was Anakin Skywalker CEASED TO BE and he vecane Darth vadar.
So in a way yes Anakin did die.
But then years later when Luke saved him he basically resurrects the good man Anakin Skywalker he used to be long ago and he was no longer Darth Vadar....
Kind of reminds me of Saul from the Holyy bible.
God's chosen people feared him.
On the road to Damascus he saw Hesus and lost his physical sight.
Days later hid phsyical sight did return.
But it took him being physically blind amoung other things to finally see the TRUTH AND THE LIGHT.
And he was Saul no longer.
And he our beloved brother Paul the Apostle.
In Jesus Christ we can find salvation, Redemption forgiveness and mercy from our Heavenly Father God for our sins.
And in him we are born again and made into a new man or woman in Jesus Christ.
So for me and other Christians we also go through a spiritual transformation when we are born again spiritually when we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.
We become a new man or woman in Christ.
So for us, it's perfectly understandable why Saul ceased to be and he became Paul. A completely different man.
No longer our enemy.
But our brother in Christ.
You can often find in movies even in Narnia and other films examples that we Christians can see another storyline and representation of our Lord or someone we know in the Bible
He has the "good color" lightsabers because he stole them from jedi he killed. Grievous is WAAAAY more dangerous in combat than they show in the movie
He stole it from Padawans he killed. Windu's comment about how he runs and hides like the coward that he is, makes it clear that Grievous is not considered a threat to fully-fledged Jedi. The movie and TCW is the true version, because they come from Lucas, not the miniseries and the EU, which are licensed fanfiction.
@@Verebazs no lol
@@TheCryptofHorrors-DerCryptaxis yes lol.
@@Verebazs Lucas signed off on all sorts of things that he changed at will when designing new movies, and has since signed over full rights to Disney. He doesn't care nearly as much about the cannon lore as fans do, and he doesn't deserve to have a say in what is true cannon, especially after selling the rights.
Also I'm sure Grievous would run from Windu, but Windu, Yoda, and even Obi Wan are a bit ahead of most other masters, never mind knights. If we are simply judging Grievous' combat strength on how he matched up against Obi Wan then it would be odd to think he couldn't take on average Jedi especially knights. People somehow frequently under-rate Obi Wan's combat prowess, despite his ability to consistently take on opponents that should be outside his weight-class. I think a big part of that is his humility and caution, being misidentified as fear or weakness.
@@Verebazs It was not first fight of Obi Wan and Grievous and before Grievous nearly killed Obi Wan, he barely managed to escape.
The reason Obi-Wan warns Anakin not to try it when he has the high ground, is because he knows how to defend against an attack like that, thanks to his use of that low ground attack against Darth Maul in Ep. 1.
Also, to understand why Anakin does all this shit, you have to try to see things from his perspective. He left his mother at like age 8, which is far older than most younglings are accepted by the Jedi, so he already has a deep-seated fear of never seeing his mom again, and of losing people he admires and cares for, like when Qui-Gon was killed soon after freeing him. His childhood as a slave was pretty bleak, and then he's left with only one guy, Obi-Wan, who initially didn't want him along and is training him out of respect for his dead master. Kids can pick up on that kind of thing.
Then, as a teenager, he's having to deal with Obi-Wan who is a strict master as that is normally how Padawans are trained since they don't normally have all the emotional baggage that Anakin has, hence his rebellious teen angst, combined with the fear of losing someone else he cares about, Padme, after the attempt on her life. He's angry at Obi-Wan for treating him like a child and not listening to his feedback, and he's old enough to understand the importance of "The Prophecy" that he is the Chosen One of, so he's got a bit of an inflated ego from that and instead of his mentor talking through things with him, he reprimands him. Then, he starts having nightmares of his mom dying (which it has been posited that Darth Sidious was projecting to him via the Force), and he blames the Jedi for keeping him busy on security detail as the reason he couldn't get to her in time (and growing up on Tatooine he knows how savage the Tuskens are). One can see why Anakin is having a hard time at this point.
Couple this with the Jedi's diminishing control of the Force thanks to Darth Sidious weakening the Light Side through his fomenting the war with the CIS, which spreads fear and anger throughout the galaxy, and the Jedi are struggling to keep up appearances as the ever-wise and benevolent organization they portrayed themselves as, so Anakin starts to see the cracks in the facade. He also sees the corruption in the Republic and the hypocrisy of the Jedi, in allowing the slave trade in the Outer Rim to exist, and how those worlds are exploited by the Core worlds to enrich themselves.
After the events of Ep. 2 Obi-Wan realizes that he needs to be less of a dick and more of a friend to Anakin, and during the Clone Wars the two do indeed become like brothers, saving each other numerous times in battles against evil. During the events of the series, he encounters representations of the Force on Mortis, where "The Son", the representation of the Dark Side, shows him visions of a terrible future (of Darth Vader specifically), and Anakin is so horrified by these premonitions that he willingly accepts the power of the Dark Side to keep them from becoming a reality. Ultimately his memories of this encounter are erased and he remains a Jedi, but the potential was shown that he sees the Dark Side as nothing more than a means to an end, not as an "evil" power to be avoided. Combined with his frustration with the patience required to master the Force and with how he sees the Jedi Council holding him back, he is particularly susceptible to the Dark Side at this stage.
Finally in Ep. 3, the Jedi push too far in requiring him to be a spy on another of his mentors, Palpatine, which he views as an egregious breach of trust, and also evidence of the Jedi's corruption and desire for power, real or imagined. Being kept purposefully in the dark about matters, and then demanding he betray a friend's trust further divorce him from the Jedi way of thinking. His ego doesn't do him any favors either when he is allowed as an observer on the Council but not made a Master, despite his skill, power, and heroic deeds during the war, and is treated like a child again by Mace Windu. He only trusts Obi-Wan at this point and is sorely disappointed when his friend and mentor basically goes along with the Council in wanting him to spy on the chancellor.
Yoda also betrays his trust when he goes to him after having the nightmares of Padme dying (also surmised to be planted by Palpatine) and Yoda tells him essentially "nah bro, emotions don't mean anything, just let go of those things and everything will be fine", which obviously he can't do, so he feels again that the Jedi just don't care about him.
This is why when he tries to do the right thing and tells Windu about the Chancellor being the Sith Lord, and then goes to make sure the Chancellor isn't killed (because he is so desperate to save Padme at this point that he will do anything to gain the power to do so), he sees Mace Windu doing the same thing he chided himself for doing: summarily executing a political prisoner, and his faith in the Jedi Code is broken. This isn't helped by Mace's particular Jedi style (he has a purple saber because he is able to draw on both the Light and Dark sides without being corrupted, and is very aggressive), and Anakin decides in the heat of the moment that the Jedi are not worth his allegiance anymore if they're willing to do all this bad shit that they berate him for doing, essentially deciding that they don't practice what they preach.
He has misgivings afterwards, but is so fearful of losing Padme and of losing the chance to learn how to, he pledges himself to Palpatine, because again, he sees the Dark Side as a tool, not as a corrupting force. He goes to Mustafar to carry out the execution of the Separatist leaders, which he knows isn't exactly right, but does so anyways. The moment on the balcony overlooking the lava, you can see tears running down his face, because he can see that he's straying from the ideals he once lived by, but he can't stop himself because of his near obsession with saving his secret wife now.
As soon as he sees Obi-Wan step off of Padme's ship, he feels that she betrayed him because she was the only person he told where he was going, hence the choking, and then when Obi-Wan essentially writes him off immediately as a bad guy without even trying to help him, he feels even more betrayed. At the end, when he is lying there on the lavabank, all of the emotion that the Jedi have taught him he needs to suppress comes out in that "I HATE YOU!", and part of that is Obi-Wan's fault because again, he just wrote him off as a lost cause as soon as he did one bad thing. "Only a Sith deals in absolutes", he says, not caring that that too is an absolutism.
As Vader he also hates what has been done to him by the Emperor, who he comes to understand has tricked him into doing a lot of things that benefit the Sith Lord, and does actually attempt to kill him, but the Emperor defeats him and leaves him broken on a backwater planet, saying that if he survives, he can return to his side as his apprentice, which of course, he does, through sheer hatred.
It isn't until the end of Ep. 6 that he sees in Luke the Jedi he used to be, and that letting the Emperor do to his son what was done to him is unacceptable. That's why ultimately he redeems himself when he throws the Emperor down that shaft and saves Luke. He feared unleashing a new evil upon the galaxy, and this time his fear led him to do the right thing.
Anakin Skywalker is a tragic character, and to fully appreciate him one must understand that he didn't just decide to be evil one day. A combination of factors over a long period of time made it happen. If in that same situation, could you really say you'd react any differently?
The really sad irony is that Sidious couldn't have helped him save Padme. He lied to him to gain his trust. The Sith method of achieving 'immortality' is that of Essence Transference, where they invest another person or object with their consciousness (something the Jedi know about, as they actually have in the Archives an object containing an old Sith Lord's essence). This method would only work for a force-user, which Padme was not. Same with the Jedi method: becoming a Force ghost (like Obi-Wan and Yoda did in the original films). Again, only for a force-user, so Anakin would have lost her anyway, unless he had chosen NOT to listen to Sidious which is what actually led to her death :P
Wow and its kind of sad nobody replied
Thank for Information,
Kinda feel bad for Anarkin Skywalker.
There is one little bit you're glossing over there, and that's the wholesale slaughter of the younglings. Even as a diehard RotS fan, I can't imagine any reason that the Anakin we knew would stoop that low, until after Padme's death. Probably the only real inconsistency in his character, and I chalk it up to the filmmakers wanting serious shock value.
Anakin had already killed children, he murder sand people children, so him killing the younglings isn’t even his rodeo.
@@HRPufnsting You know, I talked about it with a friend yesterday, and I changed my mind lmao.
Dude clearly didn't value anybody's lives in front of Padme's, child or not

well, you are. We all are. Earth is in space.
"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."
"His fate will be the same as ours." They all died on a Death Star.
38:24 you can hear vader trying to cry but because his vocal cords got destroyed by the fire it's hard for him to cry properly.
You gotta appreciate the genious of Palpatine's plan, as evil as it is.
Ep.1- he stakes a crisis on his homeworld that results in the old chancellor's dismissal AND generates sympathy for him to get elected.
Ep. 2- as his term is coming to an end, he provokes another crisis that grants him emergency powers. He does that by having his new apprentice, Dooku, hijack genuine movement dissatisfied at the corrupt state he's turned the Republic into (and thus the most likely to oppose his takeover) and force it into separatist war with the Republic. It also lets him create an army secretely loyal to him, and him only.
Clone Wars and Ep. 3. - both Separatist and Republic societies are exhausted by incredibly destructive war and more willing to accept any regime as long as it means peace. The Jedi are spread thin as field commanders across the galaxy, with Palpatine's soldiers (whom they grew to trust) at their backs... Also, Jedi being in charge of war on both sides (Dooku used to be an esteemed Jedi Master) makes population blame them for the war. On top of that, he gets the Jedi to commit actual treason by spying on him and trying to overthrow him/murder him.
Additional brilliance point- in the ancient history the Sith waged many open wars against the Republic and Jedi. This is what the Jedi thought the clone wars was. It always failed- but under Palpatine, it's the Republic that destroyed the Jedi.
and also, when ani was 9 remember at the end "we will watch your career with GREAT interest" grooming him since day 1
Evil is relative. The books are far more detailed than the movies which, as movies do, concentrate certain things and omit others. The Old Republic, to be honest, is corrupt to the bone and the Jedi are a "do as we say" inquisition style police force that has no patience with "alternate views" - hence the "Dark Jedi" and their joining with the Sith. The universe seeks balance. :) And, yes, Palpatine's plan was eloborate and worked out quite well - the first time the Sith (pre and post Darth Bane) managed to get the upper hand. Didn't last, though. :)
@@haraldschuster3067 starw ars movies came out first, than books.
@@Johnadams20760 - That's right to a point. While there was a lot of time between the movies, the books kept coming. And the Old Republic background was only ever hinted at back in the classical episodes as the empire was already around. When they did episode I the content clashed a bit with the books. The classical episodes didn't really dive into the history of the empire or the Jedi (with only Obi Wan and Yoda around anymore) that left room for the books to create a somewhat less idealistic view on the Jedi as a whole. There is a brief glimpse of that when Mace Windu tries to just kill the chancellor and disregards the law, echoing the Jedi mantra: WE are the law. :)
@@haraldschuster3067 i guess i am thinking of the original trilogy the most. by the time the prequels came out there was 16 years of expanded universe stuff, albiet most of it had to be ok'd by lucas, but the concept of the movies were movies, and books simply gave extra detail. where as most movie series are based on existing books and they shorten them. i guess that is why star wars is meant for the big screen more than anything!
"He knows. How does he know?"
He's the one who sent the vision to Anakin. That wasn't a true vision of the future. Palpatine manipulated him until it was a self fulfilling prophesy.
The lengths to which Star Wars fans tend to overexplain things never ceases to amaze me.
Where in the movie is that in any way infered? Just because a Sith can see things through the force that might happen to others?
It is rather as Yoda said it to Luke in "TESB". "In constant movement the future is, hard to see".
No one other than the force itself sent Anakin that vision.
Is that in the novelization? Because I don't recall anything like that being mentioned in canon.
It's a fan theory. Some versions of it are that Palps saw the vision too, but knew that it was only a possible future and he'd have to manipulate events to get there. Another version is that Palps knew about the marriage from his contacts on Naboo, him being the former senator from the planet, and did a mix of bluffing and subtle force manipulation to push Anakin to where he wanted him.
I think it's a bit of a mix of these - Palps saw the vision and sent an edited version of it to Anakin, then dropped the "tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise" on him, leaving him ready to be manipulated into joining the dark side through persuasion and manipulation.
Side note, Darth Plagueis was Palpatine's master, so he was speaking from experience about how Plagueis was killed by his apprentice.
@@evanflynn4680 Ah... a fan theory...
Those fans that theorized that Palpatine was a clone...
I remember the ludicrous discussions fom 2002 very well. ;)
Christopher Lee did an interview before he died. In the scene where Anakin kills Dooku, Lee says originally he taunted Anakin and told her he sent the sand people to torture his mother so he would experience that before these of his wife. That footage was edited out yes but it was the original intent according to that actor.
i had never before cried with this movie, but holy shit, seeing you so emotionally invested in it made me cry like a baby

The irony of Anakin turn to the dark side and Padme death. I’ve always looked at it like Palpatine had a hand in it. Anakins turn was to stop Padme death. And her death was b/c of what Anakin was willing to do. I have always liked the visual of Padme death synchronized with the rebirth of Anakin into Vader. To me I felt like maybe Palpatine took Padme life to same Anakin. Like a life for a life. The losing the will to live never felt right.
Glad you enjoyed
Qui Gon is not alive. Qui-Gon discovered how to, communicate with living people even after he died. 'cause Jedi don't exactly die, they "become one with the force", their spirit becomes part of the Force.
Liam Neesom was suspose to have a cameo but he broke his leg
I thinks sort of an advanced Jedi Master skill. If strong enough and trained a Jedi can commune with the living as force ghosts. That would explain why all Jedi cannot necessarily do it. Yoda was going to teach Obi Wan and then he was able to help guide Luke even after passing over.

If you‘re sad, that it’s over, there is a tv show called Star Wars the Clone Wars. It is considered by many people the best thing, that Star Wars ever brought out. It has great world building, great new characters and fleshes out the relationships between already existing characters to an extent that movies can’t even dream of. If you want more Anakin and Obi-Wan, watch the series. If you want to more R2-D2 and C-3PO, watch the series. If you want more of the Clones, General Grievous Yoda or the other Jedi and Sith, watch the series. *It is literally so good!*
The universe is far from explored. You said you were thankful to experience this world, but there is so much more. You have no idea how big this universe is. So if you want, Clone Wars is a show that was made with so much love, there is no way someone couldn’t like it.
Amen to that :)
Amen x2 and Obi's Love life
Bad batch is great too
The last four episodes of the last season were basically an off the chain movie...So good
I couldn't stand Ahsoka calling R2 "Artooie" and pretty much all of the nicknames. What season does that stop? I also didn't like the opening where the announcer sounds like he's trying to announce for Movie Fone or something. How much can I skip, because I would like to see the GOOD episodes. Any Clone Wars advice?
Lol.... Wasnt expecting that "Fuck You" when palpatine was talking to yoda.... Lmao... Made me almost spit out my drink with laughter.... U was feelin that F U too blue ... Haha .. awesome 🤣
General grievous is a cyborg internal organs only the rest machine. He has the good lightsabre colours because he has killed multiple jedi and took them as trophies. His bodyguards use electostaffs that are made using a rare metal called phrik which is lightsabre resistant. Great reaction blue 😃

@@lordmortarius538 thereby Said the Shuttle Crash was illustrated by the CIS to force him to serve them out of debt and by using his allready given hate for the Republic and Jedi
The reason Palpatine was able to take out so many masters at once, but not Windu is because his saber style is specifically designed to counter the forms that most Jedi use. He doesn’t banter with the flashies, he just goes for the weak spot and an immediate kill; whereas most Jedi are trying to incapacitate or disarm their opponents. Mace Windu has a purple saber because he’s at balance between light and dark sides. He’s able to use anger, but in a righteous way, and Palpatine has never fought someone who is a Guardian (duel focused) that has come to peace with the dark side of the force as well.
Windu’s force ability is also to see “shatterpoints” which is basically the ability to intuitively know where the weakest point of a person or structure is. Mace Windu and The Skywalker bloodline are the only Jedi in existence that would have even a chance against him.
(But that’s also all info from Legends which was retconned for the sequel trilogy)
Isnt it also said that his style of lightsaber combat is exceptionally dangerous because it draws on the Dark Side and grows exponentially more powerful the further in the Dark Side his opponent is?
the notion that the Legends were "retconned" is false. to be clear, the Expanded Universe operated under levels of canon, the lower levels bowing in favor of the higher levels, essentially nothing was really canon unless specifically stated in the movies, the G-Canon, the highest level.
all this was organized and cleared up with the introduction of the Legends, the lower levels of Canon were now legends and only the true canon, the Movies George had made, was left.
so to say that they are "no longer canon" is false, since they never really were.
It is a bit annoying that power levels in star wars are essentially a very convoluted rock-paper-scissor competition.
I have waited a long time for THIS moment....
Yeah, basically, Lucas knew that technology was a LONG way away from creating his vision of the first part(trilogy) of the saga, so he began where he did(and even THAT wasn't up to his vision, but he "made due" and created what he could for the time). Watch "Empire of Dreams" for a better/longer explanation of what I mean.
Also, you should watch the Clone Wars, Bad Batch, and Rebels animated series. You'll get a LOT of context for character development in them. I should warn you, though... the final 4 episodes of the Clone Wars series run concurrent to this movie. Meaning, they detail events going on at the same time as this movie, but from a different perspective. You might want to have tissues around for that...
The Bad Batch begins right at the end of the Clone Wars, and generally takes place immediately after the end of the war.
The overall timeline goes like this: Episode I, Episode II, The Clone Wars(movie and series), Episode III(with the final 4 episodes of Clone Wars interweaving with it), The Bad Batch(animated series), Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, Episode IV, Episode V, Episode VI, The Mandalorian(Live action series, takes place 9 years after Episode VI), Episode VII, Episode VIII, Episode IX.
Coming in December, we have "The Book of Boba Fett" live action series, but I won't tell you where it fits in the timeline right now. That would be a spoiler.
Next year, are several Live Action series, and the Bad Batch season 2. But don't discount the animated series... they are REALLY well done, both visually, and written wise.
20:50 - Remember, Palpatine is from the same planet(Naboo) Padme' was. No doubt he had spies there, which informed him of the wedding. Of course, it's only speculation about that, and he could have simply known through the Dark Side of The Force...
21:50 - Yes. Grievous was once a fully organic being. There's a story there, about how he became like this... but too long for a simple reply.
22:43 - "If what you've told me is true, you will have gained my trust." .... Mace literally admitted that he didn't trust Anakin in this statement. Not that he really hid it completely before, but at this point, he literally told Anakin, "Hey, kid... I haven't trusted you since the day I met you. Right then, I said you shouldn't be trained....(think back to Episode I)... but maybe, just maybe, I was wrong.(insert obligatory Samuel L. Jackson "Motherfucker" in there somewhere 😉😁🤣🤣🤣)
23:18 - A "Sith Ability"... Force Scream, I believe it's called. It disorients your opponents for a few seconds, to give you an advantage.
26:52 - As Meatloaf said in that song.... "I would do ANYTHING for Love..... But I won't do THAT....." ;)
37:00 ish.... - George Lucas has always said that the Saga has rhymes, and parallels... With that in mind, notice here, as Padme' lay dying, so does Anakin.... and as Luke and Leia are born, so truly, is Darth Vader.
39:02 - No, Qui-Gon isn't alive.... but, if you watch the Clone Wars animated series, you will see that he learned how to (partially) manifest himself after death(like Obi-Wan did in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi). That's the most I'm going to tell you..... watch the series, and you'll find out what I mean.

I love Revenge of the Sith and it's definitely my favourite star wars film! This is the one out of all the movies that manages to leave me fucked up emotionally, the fall of the jedi, Anakin's tragic turn to the dark side, Obi Wan and Padme's grief of losing Anaking to the dark side, a sad story with great lightsaber battles
When married couples have been together for 60+ years and one passes away often the surviving spouse doesn't live long after, and you can understand why, their being is shattered in two, the other half of themselves is gone. That's what Padmé was feeling and she just couldn't live on without the Anikan that she knew and loved.
I hated that part of the movie for years, as I thought it was really dumb that Palme died from a case of the sads. It was only when Debbie Reynolds died of heartbreak a day after Carrie Fisher passed, that I finally understood.
@@homiedclown And Anakin was correct too when he said he can’t live without Padmé, from a certain point of view. After she dies, the only thing keeping him alive is machinery and he truly abandons his old self and embraces being Darth Vader.
Even though this is true, I am myself partial to the theory that Palpatine actually channeled the life of Padme into Anakin to make him survive his wounds.
Maybe that was only possible due to the fact that Padmes will had been shattered by the heartbreak.
I like how when Anakin killed count dooku, he was holding the red lightsaber and the blue lightsaber symbolizing his confliction with the light side and the dark side. He chose to kill him, which meant his eventual fate to the dark side.
The scene is also a mirror of the final confrontation in Return of the Jedi, right down to the architecture of the room. In both, a Jedi stands over a fallen Sith and is told by Palpatine to kill him. One does, the other doesn't.
That scene it also show that Anakin is the Chosen One, that he is in the middle, but his decisions make him go to one of the sides.
never noticed that.
That “combover” born out of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise was 🔥 Vader actually didn’t kill her by force choking, it was that she lost the will to live knowing Anakin was lost to the Dark Side, even though she knew there was good in him. And that’s where the Emperor lies to him, saying in his anger he killed her.
you would think she'd have the will to live to care for her newborn children though...
@@SpeedOfThought1111 It's never been confirmed but I've always assumed that Anakin created a connection with Padme through the Force. When he turned on her he severed that connection, which is like cutting an artery.
As soon as that happened she was doomed. The droids can't explain what's happening because it's not a medical issue, it's a mystical issue, a Force problem. They say she's lost the will to live but actually, she held on long enough to make sure her children were born and would live.
@@jedsithor In my opinion I believe that Sidious was draining Padme's life force and using it to keep Anakin/Darth Vader alive long enough for the suit's life support systems to start functioning. All that losing her will to live is lazy writing in my opinion, and giving birth to two children should be motivation enough to want to live.
@@2apocalypsex I do not think it is lazy writing. It is setting up the fact that no one outside of Sidious (Plegueis being dead already) knows that manipulating mediclorians into saving and taking life is possible.
The medic droid cannot explain that. Yoda and Obi Wan have no idea it is possible.
I personally think it is solid writing because explaining it makes even less sense and looking more into Sidious and Plagueis explains just how hard this was to actually achieve.
We should be thinking "this is bullshit, her 2 children are reason enough to live", and therefore we should be using what we know and can find out to explain why it happened the way it did.
@@danielcooper3289 100% I think the writing works along with the fact that sidious using sith magic and I heard if you listen really carefully you can hear two heart beats as anakin is reborn into Vader padmes stops
Ian Mcdiarmid (Darth Sidious) does such a fantastic job playing a Lucifer type character.
When you look at mythology in general, it emerges out of religion, and the mythology itself is presented as a cautionary tale, it tells us how to conduct ourselves.
The thing I love about Star Wars is that it shows that you can be human and still live that same story, and to me it is awesome how you immediately went to examples out of your own life - that means you underatood the message of the movie, but also you are adding to its mythology in a way.
I really enjoyed these reactions, and hope I will see you look at Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, as well as Solo: A Star Wars Story, after that there is the Clone Wars Animates Series, as well as the Mandalorian - there is a lot of Star Wars lore left to unpack. Even the episodes 7, 8 and 9...
Don't forget Rogue One and The Mandalorian. You'll enjoy them, A LOT.
clone wars first
And Solo. But yes, I agree with @Mye Mye, Clone Wars first.
Just avoid the sequel trilogy. They feel like fanfiction.
actually the council was wrong too. this movie is a series of failures with Anakin, by the Jedi, by obi-wan and by Yoda. and The Chancellor explored these failures and made the most tragic outcome. "meeting your destiny on the way to avoid it" Anakin taught he was doing everything to avoid the death of Padme when actually he was going towards that fate. And The Jedi were entrenched in tradition and dogmatism to help him properly when he needed them
LOL, all anakin had to so is wait, but he wanted everything at once. jedi code is about rules and anakin almost break every rules..
They were all wrong. But not Windu. Windu was always right. He was right about Anakin. He was right about Palpatine. But he was betrayed.
*Those tears, that was the proper reaction to the prequels. This was what George wanted.*
*Beautiful.*
27:10 Oh, he plotted more then that, He had the Clone Army produced, he plotted the Seperatist, he created the whole war and everything around it, some even say he even constructed the birth of Anakin.... this whole conflict from Episode 1 on...it just went

"I love me a man who can swing a lightsaber!" Nice one Trixy!
36:20 Yeah, you're right. Out of love people can be able to do horrible thing and acts of extremely courage. Some cultures treated love as a disease that blind and get people mad.
But I sense that those wise words that you said are pretty heavy for your hearth. You identify yourself in some things with Anakin and I guess we all do. Hugs to you.
39:34 “She’s so beautiful.” Padme was holding the little japor snippet that Anakin had given her when they first met on Tattooine. For me, that is the saddest detail of the movie.

You are still missing a piece of your puzzle, you need to watch "Rogue One" great movie; think of it as Star Wars 3.5 takes place between this movie and "A New Hope". Probably best depiction of Darth Vader in his prime.
Rogue One is a shiny gem of the Star Wars Universe
Ehhhhh, just see the Vader scene by itself. That story was told far better in the "Rebel Dawn" Han Solo novel; compared to that Rogue One was the worst piece of Star Wars content ever released; I'd rather watch the Holiday Special twice than see Rogue One ever again
Such a great film 👏
This movie is literally summarised by one line from Vader in New Hope. There is no puzzle there.
Agreed! It's one of the best.
This is my favorite star wars movie. It makes you feel every single emotion. The ending part of Episode III makes me cry every time.
the best Star Wars movie 😍😍😍😍😍
a masterpiece
The Story of Darth Plagues is 💯% true, and part of the Legends Series of STAR WARS
Never forget the theory that Jar Jar was supposed to be the big Sith Lord for this trilogy, possibly even Emperor's master and Darth Plagues. I can actually see that being true. Lucas did his "It's like poetry, they rhyme" and started with Jar Jar as a "comic relief", just like wih Yoda. However, he went way overboard (you could argue even offensively) and investors or shareholders were clearly happy with the money the movie made, but told George to lose the character immediately.
and then came Disney and ruined everything ...
@@CalciumChief Why do people think this is good, original, logical or suitable? Seriously, make the slapstic comic relief the villain and you think anyone would take him seriously? Do you forget how pathetic was Grievous in TCW because they used him as a joke? This will be much worse because Jar Jar doesn't even look intimidating.
And no, Lucas didn't plan this out. He said that Jar Jar was inspired by Goofy. We already had two Sith in Phantom Menace and Palpatine was obviously the mail villain of the trilogy. Jar Jar played his role - was a fool manipulated by Palpatine in 2nd film.
so Darth P created Anakin right?
@@cumexolaf3276 The story of Darth Plageis is also canon in the Disney era. His novel is not.
I can't help but tell you in the nicest way that you awesomely look like if Orlando Bloom had a younger sister.
Legolas: "They've taken the Hobbits to Isengard!"
Anakin's greatest weakness is his fear of loss; he fears losing the ones he cares about...obviously as we know this started with his mother. In the Clone Wars he made both good and bad decisions that made him a heroic figure in some people's eyes and less so in other's eyes. Anakin lost comrades then as well but Obi Wan and Padme were the ones that mattered to him most. The three major Jedi Masters; Master Yoda, Master Mace Windu and the third Master Cin Drallig (who was supposed to have a scene in this film where he fought Vader and defended the Jedi Temple but it was taken out due to time restraints) they all had their own skills and their own views of Anakin. Yoda was probably the most balanced...always concerned about him but tried to give him the benefit of the doubt...kind of like Obi Wan. Master Windu was the best duelist and didn't overly trust Anakin, he could sense the darkness growing in Anakin but he couldn't tell where it was coming from. Master Drallig was cautious and more of a teacher but he was brilliant in using force abilities; when the rest of the Jedi went into space in the Clone Wars he was trusted to stay behind and protect the Jedi Temple. Drallig could sense Anakin had amazing potential but also recognised his fears made him very susceptible to manipulation.
I had to wait almost 30 years to watch all 6 episodes. Blue pumps them out in a few weeks. That must be nice!!!!😀😀😀
25:00 Almost exactly the same discussion Anakin had with Palpatine in regards to Count Dooku but reversed. Palpatine knew from the beginning what Anakin cared most about was family and losing them and used that to become a father figure to him. The jedi at this point were arrogant, and it showed by being afraid of telling the Senate how their abilities in the force had diminished among other things. They had become too passive and complacent and paid dearly for it. If Gui Gon had taught Anakin instead of Obi One, his outcome could have been much different. However, in the end Anakin did bring balance to the force. Each side essentially had one master and one apprentice.
"always two there are, no more, no less, a master and an apprentice"
Having a good ending&redeeming himself because of his Luke right before his death was such a beautiful thing to this day
If you go back and watch Magy’s reaction with you on the old trilogy you’ll understand her facial expressions now.
Qui Gonn isn’t alive, he’s a Force Ghost. That’s why Yoda said he discovered the path to immortality. It turns out because he was a mystic and studied so many different things about the Force but especially the Midichlorians and the Living Force, he accidentally preserved his consciousness in the Cosmic Force, he teaches this ability to Obi Wan which is how he becomes a Force Ghost in the old trilogy.
A good choice is also to watch Rogue one. One of the better SW movies in my opinion, and it combines Episode 3 and 4 in a really good way.

I mean technically. It's a really good thing Anakin wasn't killed off by Obi-Wan. If he did kill him. His prophecy fulfillment would never have succeeded. Since ultimately without Anakin's help. Luke would just simply not have been able to take on Palpatine alone. So in the end Anakin did fulfil his prophecy and brought balance back. Also about Anakin killing Padme. It's actually talked about and almost accepted that Palpatine was actually the ultimate killer of Padme. Essentially what is believed is that, because Anakin was so critically injured he was dying. So Palpatine used Padme's life force for Anakin while he was being operated on in order to save him but in turn also killed her.
“One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.” Oogway
Two interesting facts about Star Wars, General Grievous's cough was actually a recording of George Lucas when he was sick and Samuel L.Jackson asked George Lucas to make his light saber purple because it was his favorite color and so that he could see himself onscreen.
Awe what a sensitive soul you are ❤️🙏❤️ It always gets me to when obi says you were my brother I loved you
This is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. You are amazing. So glad the algorithm suggested you.
I cried with you and felt everything you did through this. You have such a big heart.
Please watch The Clone Wars animated series. It's long but fantastic. It tells the story between episodes II and III. I think you'll like it
I agree. If you love the story, so much is explained in this series. Really fleshes out the universe and the story.
Most of the seasons are random filler like that time the droids went to search for a republic memory card for 5 episodes... which adds nothing to the movies like the rest of the arcs.
@@wolfpredator1000 I would disagree. There are a few arcs that are fillers, but I feel like most of the series is great character building. The animation is great, and the action is fantastic. But I do respect your opinion. I am sorry you did not feel like the series was worth your time.
@@JangTheKim Characters that have nothing to do with the movies, not actually end as part of a conclusive story with a meaning behind them, like the clones, they just die to add drama.
The 2d animation did all it needed to be done, Anakin's knighthood, the kidnap of Palpatine and Anakin learning to to use the dark side in battle, all in two hours, no need to pull endless side stories
@@wolfpredator1000 I think they actually did a great job giving the clones life. I was invested in them. Giving the clones life made order 66 way more meaningful. Although the prequals were about Anakin turning in Vader, it was more than just that for me. It was about the all the Jedis and why and how they were exterminated. It was also about the relationships between everyone and how those relationships were torn apart. The relationships between the Jedis and clones are included in this. But no anger towards you. Everyone has a different view on Clone Wars and Star Wars in general. So, thanks for sharing your viewpoints. I am not here to convince you to like the Clone Wars. I just think it's worth Blue's time. And don't forget Ahsoka. She's one of my favorite characters.
Such a genuine reaction. Hated seeing you cry but enjoyed your raw emotion. Watching you I can tell that you have a good heart and beautiful soul.
Your reaction is so sentimental that for a moment I reacted the same way to see the end of the battle of obi wan and anakin again.

Qui Gon discovered the ability to manifest as a Force-ghost, which he then taught Yoda and Obi Wan :)
The inability of him to let go of his fear ultimately led to his nightmare becoming true
Dokku was trained by both Yoda and Sidious, that is why he was so powerful.
Palpatine: Do it
Blue: do it
Anakin
Blue: he did it
Me: Quality content xD
I cried so much the first few times I saw this movie... The scene when Anakin gets defeated is horrific when you consider how he got there..
A line I always like to point out, both Palatine after Dooku's death and Windu before his own death state, "He's too dangerous to be kept alive", and each time Anakin states how he feels, "It's not the Jedi way". In the moment, he is given yet another example of what he see's as Jedi hypocrisy. In that moment are they really that different from the Sith?
According to Star Wars lore, Obi-Wan was able to learn how to still communicate with the living once he became a force ghost (the term for Jedi who had given up their corporeal bodies). His old master Qui-Gon Jinn taught him.
The prequals and sequels made a lot of Star Wars fans cry. Probably not for the same reasons, but at least we all had the same reaction.
THERE YOU GO ! ! ! 😂😂😂
Although, Rogue One and Mandalorian are really awesome!
@Michael Anderson. There are no "sequels."
@@tiredoffools8929 Well there are but no movies.
@@HowIamDriving Ah Yes.. you have a point there.
Grievous is a Kaleesh warrior who was turned into a cyborg, and he use the sabers he stole from Jedi he killed, that's why the blade colors are blue and green!
George Lucas is a genius. Pulls the emotional strings and reaches our inner humanity, love, hate, corruption...
I was lucky enough to see this at a midnight showing on release day. The theater was packed. Everyone cheered so loudly when Yoda and Palpatine dueled in the senate room! The audience was really into it the whole time, it was really fun. Those were the days…
“His fate will be the same as ours”.
Obi-wan died on the Death Star, Palps died on the Death Star, Anakin died on the Death Star.
More than 20 years watching Star Wars and this is the first time that i notice! Blew my mind
Hi Blue. I know a lot of people are saying watch the clone wars series, and yes you should, but I think the biggest reason of all to watch it is to learn about Anakin's padawan and how she factors into everything. Although she was never mentioned in the films, she played an important part in the story of Anakin Skywalker.
Hope you will continue with the rouge one and solo movies and also episodes 7, 8, and 9 to see how the skywalker saga ends. Some people didnt like the last three movies but I thought they were entertaining.
Well you are not alone they are great
The Skywalker saga ends in ep6.
Marey Sue is not a Skywalker
The third trilogy was complete garbage.
Entertaining maybe, if you forget what they've done to old characters and their victory.
@@zadaofficial8091 Don't talk about Luke that way!
You honestly kept it together a little better than I thought you would, episode III can get tough to get through for alot of people.
23:25 “he’s just slaying them left and right…I thought they were masters…”
Indeed…simply put…it can be difficult to translate into camera…but the simplest way of putting it is “he’s just THAT powerful”
The scream/shout as he launched also if a dark side ability designed to overwhelm the force senses of others kinda like a force version of a flash bag grenade
The real-world reason is that Ian McDiarmid was doing the stuntwork himself-I’ve heard that Lucas wanted to get close-ups of Ian and Samuel’s faces; I’ve also heard that Ian’s stunt double was sick on the day of shooting. Regardless, the stunt coordinator got rid of the other three Jedi to make the scene less onerous on Ian (who isn’t a stunt fighter and didn’t show up for filming physically trained for stunt fighting).
@@GrapeCheckerBoard the majority of the dueling was using a face swap onto a double, same as the majority of the duel with dooku
Whatever the real world reason, there are going to be those who ask “wait…how…?”
The “scaling” of power makes things difficult to show…just look at dragon ball z for example…
Dark Sidious: "Your Arrogance blinds you Master Yoda."
Trixy Blue: " Fuck you"
The Emperor: "Good good I can feel your anger"
Yoda : "....anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering."
Trixy Blue.... angry (look at her face), hating ( Palpatine), and a little suffering (those tears)
FULLY INVESTED!!!!!
29:03 seeing her try to drink from a huge bottle of water while sobbing was kinda funny. 😜
Sensible to hydrate while crying lol
It's a fake reaction
@@raulh5457 What makes you say that?
@@G1NZOU who in real life reacts like that? Also how convenient she recently discovered all these movies in her YT to react to...this is just cringe
@@raulh5457 you realise she has fan suggestions right? It's not like she magically found all these movies all at once.
Also if you think it's fake why not go somewhere else for your reaction fix?
Those four lightsabers General Grievous had were from Jedi Knights he'd killed and taken as trophies.
Clone Wars might start somewhat childlish, but eventually grows into serious story almost necessary to really understand how episode 3 came to be and explaining many parts of it (like true origins of clone army, it shows you the human side of the clones as well as their tragic betrayal, Qui-gon, it makes ten times sadder the anakin's fall and how by the seasons is losing it with the jedi, obi and anakins relationship a lot better than in the movies and the ahsoka character that is one of the best developments in a animated character ever
"Your arrogance blind you, master Yoda"
"Fuck you" 💀😂
I love the expressions of Sidious while Anakin and Mace are arguing, so we’ll done.
Anakin is the chosen one and brought balance to the force by having two children. Also you could say all 6 movies is the story of Anaking Skywalker from Light to Darkness and to Light again ^^
That's what Star Wars is mainly about. The story of Anakin Skywalker. 6 movies is good enough. So, there's no need for a sequel trilogy from Disney.
It's been amazing to go through this journey with you, to see how you relate to this world and these characters. For a long time I've had the belief that this story has always been about Anakin Skywalker. The prequels chronicle the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker and the originals chronicle the redemption of Anakin Skywalker.
I hope you continue with the franchise via the Clone Wars series and Rogue One and Solo. If you watch the sequel trilogy I say try to keep an open mind and just remember that George Lucas didn't write ANY of it. LOL
I love the part about keeping an open mind. Mature, rational adult comments about the sequel trilogy on here are giving me life lately.
@@jeremyfrost2636 It's nice to see someone not acting like the sequels don't exist and crapping all over them while trying to force someone not to watch them
@@paulgarcia9682 Exactly. I hope I never get to the point where I tell a reactor "Don't watch X", because honestly it's kind of a fascist thing to say.
"I can FEEL your anger" "OMG it sounds like he gets off on that" lmao I thought the same thing. Reminds me a little bit of Tim Curry talking about his weird floating fetish in the movie It.
Never fear, the Star Wars franchise is alive and well, and the adventures don't end here. While I can't recommend movie Episodes 7-9, I do suggest you watch Rogue One, next. This is a stand alone movie not part of the Skywalker Saga, and it forms a bridge between what you've just watched, to what happens hours before Ep 4, A New Hope. If you wanted to take a deeper dive into this franchise which you seem to enjoy, watch the Clone Wars animated series. You'll get a very deep immersion of what happens during movies 2 and 3, and there are some very heart-breaking moments in those 7 seasons (probably not something you want to do a reaction to since it would take a long time to get through the series. You also have the live action show The Mandalorian, set in the Star Wars universe...but just a word of caution: if you really want to understand more about the Mandalorian culture, the you must watch TCW and Rebels. So you see, Trixie, there is still a much larger world for you to explore.
Seconded on Clone Wars, both the 3D and 2D series. I'd star faaar away from Rogue One though
Qui Gon has transformed into the force after his death. Yoda tells Obi Wan “how to commune with him, I will teach you”. So Yoda teaches Obi how to talk to Qui Gons ghost and about the immortality that Jedi have after death with the force. This is how Obi learns and is able to talk to Luke all the time after his death in episode 4.
I don't know if you're a reader, but the novelization is fantastic. Really delves into the inner monologs and tells some of the same scenes from different perspectives.
The novelization is arguably the greatest Star Wars novel of all time with the imagery and symbolism it delves into. Seriously, if anyone reading this only ever reads a single Star Wars novel, let it be the Episode 3 novel.
In the novels, it describes Palpatine’s speed as looking like a blur, plus as he used “force scream”, the other 3 masters had no chance. The only reason Windu was able to keep up is because Mace Windu used a fighting method that requires the fighter to tap into the dark side, which is why he was able to defend himself from Sidious attack.
It was just poorly filmed
The clones had chips in there head. Thats why the Jedi couldn't sense the betrayal, the clones would never do it by themself. It's working like a hypnosis, it's just clicked from one moment to another when they heard Order 66...
Then you have an entire squad who’s chip didn’t work and disobeyed order 66
Is that a new canon thing?
As far as I knew, they were genetically modified to be more obedient, therefore easier to get to follow even this kind of order.
@@sertaki They were modified, but if you watch clone wars, Rebels or Bad Batch you will see. In the Bad Batch they show you what happened right after order 66 and they explain the inhibitor chips in the clones.
@@zoltannagyidai6141 ah ok.
Though I kinda wish you labeled that as a animated series spoiler, cause I am still working my way through the shows.
@@sertaki Don't worry about it. It's not really a spoiler. The shows will explain much more. Have fun with the series!
Funny how Anakin and Luke were raised in the same environment and yet they turned out so different.
Next movies to watch are Rouge One and Solo. Then eps 7,8,9. You can also watch the Mandalorian at anytime.
Mandalorian needs Clone Wars and Rebels. To understand backstory, hints, names, places....
I never think 7,8,9 is canon 😂
Also watch MASCARA 2
Eh….if you have grown attached to these characters I would NOT recommend 7,8,9. 🤷🏻♂️ I myself have not even seen 9. It’s crazy to me but there is a Star Wars movie I have never seen 🤯. Thanks to 8 I have no desire to see it. Plus I saw the synopsis on TH-cam. It’s horrible.
Although it’s pretty fresh to you so you won’t have decades to imagine their continued adventures and lives only to see that the powers that be only wanted to subvert your expectations. If you don’t have expectations you might not totally hate it, although you will find them incredibly repetitive.
Different strokes for different folks but for me it ends with episode 6, followed by season one and two of Mando and frankly not sure if it will go past that. We will see 🤷🏻♂️
LIPSTICK THREE should be after ROUGE ONE
Her face and reactions were priceless. Just a shame this generation can't see them in the theater. Big thumbs up.
The way they show the birth of Luke and Leia just as their father goes from Anakin to Vader completely is so awesomely done, obviously having Padme pass away is super sad but it’s necessary to maintain continuity with the original trilogy
It wasn't necessary to maintain continuity with the original trilogy, because Leia remembered her when she was very young, from episode 6.
I’m 36. I saw this movie in theaters during my sophomore or junior year of college with a friend who was a senior at the time. He died at the age of 37 due to COVID. It’s hard watching this movie. I remember the entire theater applauding when it ended.
