Guess what? The actress playing Queen Amidala's decoy (AKA the one we see dressed up and acting as Queen until Natalie Portman reveals herself as the real queen) is Kiera Nightly! AKA Elizabeth Swan from Pirates of the Caribbean! She was only like 12 in this!

@@johndesalvo3348 George lucas literally said watch them in chronological order. He says star wars is the story of Anakins fall and then his redemption. Thats how he wanted it viewed.
Bro you are the man for putting this back up, don't let negativity get to you. There are so many more people who are here because they love you and your reactions!
Being it a tragedy arc, it does not take from the experience. We're supposed to see the character get a bad hand in each step of the way, until his final and unfortunate disgrace.
We learn Luke’s father was Anakin, who became Vader in the original trilogy. In episode 4 we learn that Obi Wan knew Luke’s father by the name Anakin Skywalker. We then learn in Empire that Vader is Luke’s father, and in Return of the Jedi Luke refers to him as Anakin when he talks to him. Palpatine being the Emperor is more of a surprise.
LEO PLEASE NEVER CHANGE. U ARE ONE OF A KIND. STAY GENUINE!! Will always enjoy watching my favorite movies with u, and seeing u experience it for the first time!
The Jedi use their abilities primarily for defense, knowledge, and to maintain order in the Republic. The Sith use their abilities for personal gains, passion, anger, and offensive abilities. The Jedi and the Sith are essentially opposites of the same coin. The lore surrounding the Force is very nuanced.
I’m so glad you liked jar jar! That’s awesome. This movie was my childhood (the whole prequel actually was). These films hold a special place in my heart and I’m glad you are watching them (and enjoying them)!
😂 too many people on you for not uploading episode one on this channel, thank you for getting it out, you always aim to please, love and appreciate you Leo 🫶🏻💕🫶🏻
Believe it or not Darth Maul didn't die. He was brought back in the Clone Wars TV series and remained a formidable opponent. His showdown at the end of the final season was amazing. Even though it's animated, they brought back the original Maul actor to do the fight in motion capture. Also, the actor that did Maul's voice in this movie was Peter Serafinowicz, who has appeared in countless films and shows from John Wick 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, to Shaun of the Dead.
Yeah, I think George L. once said that he always regretted "killing" Maul, that it was a mistake, and he ended up bringing him back, which I think was a second and bigger mistake. Maul would have had a great legacy just on the Ep 1 fight by itself. The new content Maul was brought back for could easily have had an improved version of Savage Oppress (Maul's brother) inserted in - and then just don't kill Savage (which happened - he was killed too). Yes, Maul was a great character, but bringing him back from an "abdominal separation" is too far-fetched.
@@tuttleberry I can see where you’re coming from because I remember when he was first revealed in the clone wars, I was a little peeved about it. It was like 🙄🙄🙄 whatever. But I think they justified him coming back by giving him a really solid story that went full circle in rebels where Obi-wan finally ends him once and for all.
It's so wholesome the way anakins mother just let's 3 strangers crash at there house for a few days and eat all their food even though she's broke and litterally a slave 🥺goerge Lucas is the GOAT! true magic ✨
Basically, the Sith have all the bells and whistles of a Jedi. Focus, skill, force wielding abilities , they can fight they can control Minds etc etc. however , what makes them different is their temperament. Their power lies in passion and anger where’s Jedi power lies in clarity and patience.
I was 8 when this came out and I remember seeing it in theaters. A lot of ppl got bad things to say about it but it was my intro into star wars and Qui Gon is MY FAVORITE 💯
I was 18 at the time and totally geeked out over it but I always wondered what it was like from your perspective and what it was like for that to be the intro for Star Wars for kids your age.
imagine if those idiots in the comments didnt tell our brother that anakin is darth vader, that would have been the most epic reaction ever when they finally reveal! lol
I just realized I've been following all your channels and watched all of your reactions. That means you are my absolute favorite. I've even overlooked your poor taste in football teams! You MUST be my favorite 👍
Leo, you are the Man! One thing that's so cool is that Queen Amadala's decoy and ruse is so effective even the Jedi didn't catch on. I saw this opening night and stood iin line for like an hour, and my town then was relatively small! JarJar grew on me after a couple watches. Some people really dislike these movies but they're buggin'.
you're damn good at reading that opening crawl out loud, that shit always went by too fast for me to keep up, not only can you keep up, you're fast and smooth enough to comment on it as you're reading it, very impressive side note, I'm a huge fan of yours, I don't watch every one of your videos, but whenever I'm notified about a movie or show you watched that I am into, I always get the same fantastic experience, super excited turns into thoroughly entertained and then turns right back into super excited for the next treat you have in store for us also... your theme song... absolute FIRE!
38:40 Sam Jackson has said he had a lot of fun working on Star Wars. He still wants to get involved every chance he can. He liked playing someone who was 100% Good. He wasn't an anti-hero or "secretly bad" or anything. Large portions of the fandom hate his character Mace Windu because Mace is doesn't immediately fawn over "Blond Haired, Blue-Eyed Space!Jesus" Anakin Skywalker. Many people watched the Prequels and didn't get that Anakin Skywalker was a Villain Protagonist. Still don't. 43:43 Okay, exactly what Midichlorians do is a bit fuzzy but I can try to explain it. The way George Lucas describes it, they are sort of like "moths" that surround a "luminous being" and the more of those "moths" a person has, the more Important they are to The Force. It isn't like Dragon ball Z and their Power Levels, that much is certain. Having more Midichlorians does not make you a Jedi. Anyone can be a Jedi. But being a Jedi is not for everyone. Through Self-Discipline, Meditation, Training, and Mindfulness you can divine what The Force Wants from you. In general the answer will be "be more selfless." BTW "Too Old" in this circumstance means that he cannot fit into the "preschool instruction" that Yoda would usually handle himself. That is where his ethics and the idea that lifting a spacecraft with a thought would be taught. Jedi vary rarely adopt children after the age of 4-5. Or their equivalent with another species. Although they are part of the family, they (for one reason or another) never feel like they fit in. Anakin's problem is that he was already couldn't Let Go of his mother. She is an adult and knew entirely what she was doing when she sent him away. She uses the money Qui-Gon got for her freedom. These are things that Anakin never emotionally accepts. Also the reason he kept feeling cold was because he was already reaching out to The Dark Side to cheat on his tests. 57:30 One more thing: Vader, Tyrannis, Sidious, Plagueis, and Maul are Sith. The Sith were the losers in a Jedi "Civil War" of sorts thousands of years before this takes place. They left for parts unknown but would form Empires to some degree or another and attempt to conquer the Republic and exterminate the Jedi until about 1000 years before Episode I when they lost and lost bad. One Sith survived, Darth Bane. Bane made The Rule of Two: There can only be 2, a Master to hold Power and an Apprentice to crave it. And that is how the Sith survived in hiding for centuries. It is also how The Dark Side "kinda works." here is George Lucas to explain it: th-cam.com/video/wiImoO5QkcA/w-d-xo.html
@@Mourtzouphlos240 Nothing no need to be like that. No it's just some star wars fans don't know about these details.

@@ReyRey-io5bq That happens sometimes, we forget or don't connect certain dots. It would have been interesting to see his reaction when he came to the realization himself. But on the internet some people point out everything you miss or get wrong, when to me, that is part of the fun. It's what makes watching a movie for the second time so great. You put all the pieces together that you missed the first time. Why does he need to know Anakin is Darth Vader at this very moment? It doesn't take away from the story at all. In fact, It could make the sequel trilogy better if you are unaware. If you don't know that Anakin will be a big time baddie later, it will be even easier to connect and sympathize with his character. And his fall to the dark side and switch to Darth Vader would be an actual surprise. Some people prefer chronological order over release order for this reason. He could have gotten the best of both worlds if people didn't remind him who Anakin was. It's not a huge deal, but it's still a shame.
No better feeling than sitting at the movies and the 20 Century Fox logo pops up lol then Lucasfilms then the greatest opening to any movie ever. Good stuff.
#1NJFan here. Hay L, you dropped both, so I watched back to back. Lol, I just sent that Cee-Llo @ Daryl's to my sister. You said a lot of real things in this video. "There's a difference between being smart and being intelligent" lol. Awesome reaction brother.
Aww, I actually wouldn’t have minded you not knowing Anakin was Darth Vader until it happened. Would’ve been a good twist for you. It’s fine either way, another great video Leo keep up the good work bro 🤘🏽
1. Of the prequels I like this one the best mostly for the POD race and the underwater sequences, 2. Jar Jar is mostly comic relief since we don't have C3PO 3. Liam Neeson was very busy with various productions at the time and was in huge demand and agreed to do this episode because Qui-Gon Jinn dies and he won't be held to do more. 4. How Jar Jar becomes a "general" is beyond me. 5. It's easy to know why this one didn't start the series because of the lack of CGI back in 1977.
Pretty sure every EP 01 Haters laughed and enjoyed this film when they first watched it just like you did. Also, not being the biggest star wars fan, I watched the star wars OT when EP 01's dvd came out. Had I not read the back side of the dvd, I would have never guessed that Anakin was Darth Vader (also that shadow on the wall). That one line from the emperor in EP 05 can be easily missed/forgotten. It's only when I rewatched everything as the blu rays came out is when I started becoming more and more of a Star wars geek that I am today. Thanks Leo. You are extremely real. All these people telling you shit have watched these movies 100's of times. Ignore them.
At its core, the Sith are Dark Jedi - their powers are more pronounced in the dark side of the force, like force lightning, manipulation, forbidden lightsaber forms. They gain their power from passion, hatred, and suffering. To help when you were reading about sith, It's pronounced, AN-TITH-e-sis, and it means the opposite of. The Sith are the opposite of the Jedi. Love your channel Leo, always appreciate your reactions.
I was in 6th grade when this movie came out, and my two best friends and I used to swim in their backyard pool wearing bathrobes and holding toy lightsabers, pretending we were Jedis, rofl.
"OG Juan Kenobi"!! LMAO!! Now I am picturing Danny Trejo as a Jedi knight!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can you imagine Mace Windu and "OG Juan Kenobi" battling The Empire together?!?! I would LEGIT watch that!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the film theory that JarJar Binx is a force-sensitive being but his "force powers" manifest in the form of clumsiness much like how Hon Solo's power of the force manifests in the form of Piloting Skills.
The siths are similar to jedis, except they use the dark side of the force, and they did have one in the previous trilogy, it was darth vader, just like the name darth maul in this movie.
I ABSOLUTELY *LOVE* how you are foing things like Dragon Ball and Star Wars, and Loki, but are you going to react to Moon Knight, and She Hulk: Attorney at Law, and What If...? ?!
I remember seeing Darth Maul for the first time in a trailer at the cinema. Just seeing that black and red demon with a double bladed lightsaber after only ever seeing single blades. Me and my boys completely lost our shit. We spent more time whispering about the trailer than watching whatever film we went to see.
Its crazy i just started rewatching star wars after playing first order. Started with revenge of the sith and watched empire last night (my favorite no lie) love palpatine and c3p0. Its crazy how u uploading this right when im catching up on it
57:58 - An-TI-tha-sis. basically means 'opposite.' The easy way to describe the Sith is 'evil Jedi,' but of course it's more complicated than that. While the Jedi philosophy teaches balance and equilibrium, the Sith believe that emotion and ambition are the keys to accomplishment. They tend to draw their power from the 'dark side' of the Force. Although there was a 'Sith' species long ago that followed the Dark Side, modern Sith are members of other species that adopted Sith philosophies. That is why Darth Vader can be called a 'Sith Lord' despite being human.
I love movie. It is very underrated. Im sorry people spoiled whos Anakin for you. This is the movie that introduced me to Star Wars. I remember I was going watch A New Hope with my Dad first but we ended up watching the prequels bc he hadn't watched them. So it was a big shock for me when I found out Anakin was Darth Vader.
Leo, we watch your videos to see YOUR reaction to the movies and shows we love. It sucks that Patreon has spoiled this trilogy for you, it would be nice to see you watch the entire trilogy and come to your own conclusions without them telling you what to think. You really weren’t supposed to find out for sure about Vader until episode 3. Please tell your Patreon subscribers NO SPOILERS
I kinda wish they didn't tell you, it would have made a unique reaction I wish I recorded my play through of red dead 2 because I didn't realise the family was the family/ the main character from red dead 1 the penny didn't drop until the house was finished & I was walking around the house I thought the old man look familiar & it kept bugging me I thought it was just he looked like the old guy from Toy Story 2, but I watch other peoples play through but they all remembered them
The funny thing with Natalie Portman (Padame) and Keira Knightly (her handmaiden, and decoy), their mom's couldn't recognize them either when they were in make up and on set. And if you look at side by side of them even now and days they look a lot alike.
real shame they told you who anakin was, i wanted to see your reaction when you realised, it is almost unheard of a reactor not knowing for sure and finding out on camera, it would have been great.
It's refreshing to watch this with someone that isn't super critical of the series and is watching through a microscope. also, "May the force be with you," "Muthafucka," is my favorite quote today.
Despite what anyone else says is a 2000s kid I was born literally 2002 raised up on a whole bunch of movies from the 80s as well as all of the Star Wars movies Indiana Jones James Bond a lot of classic movies But what I would have to say is the best Star Wars in my opinion this is up there
The voice in ur head, ur intuition. Your consciousness. Meditate my friend. You will learn so much about yourself. The force is like the divine spirit.
I LOVE WHEN LEO WAS STARING AT THE CHANCELLOR AND THAT REALIZATION HIT HIM AT QUI GONS FUNERAL LOL
Leo is clever, intuitive :)
I know, right! I was yelling at the TV, "Yes, you saw that shot and realized what it meant!" Great job, Leo!

Well it wasn't intended to be a spoiler . . . . Leo would have figured it out anyway.

2. Jar Jar is mostly comic relief since we don't have C3PO
3. Liam Neeson was very busy with various productions at the time and was in huge demand and
agreed to do this episode because Qui-Gon Jinn dies and he won't be held to do more.
4. How Jar Jar becomes a "general" is beyond me.
5. It's easy to know why this one didn't start the series because of the lack of CGI back in 1977.
38:38 DAMN IT I WAS DRINKING AND SPILLED MY HOT COFFEE WHEN YOU SAID THE WORD! 🔥🤣☕️
Pretty sure every EP 01 Haters laughed and enjoyed this film when they first watched it just like you did. Also, not being the biggest star wars fan, I watched the star wars OT when EP 01's dvd came out. Had I not read the back side of the dvd, I would have never guessed that Anakin was Darth Vader (also that shadow on the wall). That one line from the emperor in EP 05 can be easily missed/forgotten. It's only when I rewatched everything as the blu rays came out is when I started becoming more and more of a Star wars geek that I am today. Thanks Leo. You are extremely real. All these people telling you shit have watched these movies 100's of times. Ignore them.
At its core, the Sith are Dark Jedi - their powers are more pronounced in the dark side of the force, like force lightning, manipulation, forbidden lightsaber forms. They gain their power from passion, hatred, and suffering. To help when you were reading about sith, It's pronounced, AN-TITH-e-sis, and it means the opposite of. The Sith are the opposite of the Jedi. Love your channel Leo, always appreciate your reactions.
Yep Darth Maul has the force. He's a member of the Sith. They're basically the villain counterparts of the Jedi.
I was in 6th grade when this movie came out, and my two best friends and I used to swim in their backyard pool wearing bathrobes and holding toy lightsabers, pretending we were Jedis, rofl.
"OG Juan Kenobi"!! LMAO!! Now I am picturing Danny Trejo as a Jedi knight!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you imagine Mace Windu and "OG Juan Kenobi" battling The Empire together?!?! I would LEGIT watch that!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YESSS LEO IS BACK W/ TPM 😎🤙🏼Underrated Masterpiece 👌🏼💫
30:14 That dodge was perfectly in sync.
Nice to see Jar Jar Binks get some love 😂
Every time the lightsaber duel becomes really interesting, the film cuts back to the toy store commercial.
“This fish been in the gym 🐟💪” 🤣🤣🤣
No matter what, I'll always look forward to Mr. Video 🔥
yo man big fan! glad your watching these 1, 2, and especially 3 are some favorite movies
I love the film theory that JarJar Binx is a force-sensitive being but his "force powers" manifest in the form of clumsiness much like how Hon Solo's power of the force manifests in the form of Piloting Skills.
You crazy for having three channels bro!
Been waiting on these reactions for 2 years now. little did I know
The siths are similar to jedis, except they use the dark side of the force, and they did have one in the previous trilogy, it was darth vader, just like the name darth maul in this movie.
Your reactions are worth the wait, us real fans f with you long term 👍
you made me laugh so hard today with this omg we need the trilogy 😭
I ABSOLUTELY *LOVE* how you are foing things like Dragon Ball and Star Wars, and Loki, but are you going to react to Moon Knight, and She Hulk: Attorney at Law, and What If...? ?!
I remember seeing Darth Maul for the first time in a trailer at the cinema. Just seeing that black and red demon with a double bladed lightsaber after only ever seeing single blades. Me and my boys completely lost our shit. We spent more time whispering about the trailer than watching whatever film we went to see.
Its crazy i just started rewatching star wars after playing first order. Started with revenge of the sith and watched empire last night (my favorite no lie) love palpatine and c3p0. Its crazy how u uploading this right when im catching up on it
Some people hate this one, i like it though
57:58 - An-TI-tha-sis. basically means 'opposite.' The easy way to describe the Sith is 'evil Jedi,' but of course it's more complicated than that. While the Jedi philosophy teaches balance and equilibrium, the Sith believe that emotion and ambition are the keys to accomplishment. They tend to draw their power from the 'dark side' of the Force. Although there was a 'Sith' species long ago that followed the Dark Side, modern Sith are members of other species that adopted Sith philosophies. That is why Darth Vader can be called a 'Sith Lord' despite being human.
I really enjoy your content bro. Please, keep up the great work.
I love movie. It is very underrated. Im sorry people spoiled whos Anakin for you. This is the movie that introduced me to Star Wars. I remember I was going watch A New Hope with my Dad first but we ended up watching the prequels bc he hadn't watched them. So it was a big shock for me when I found out Anakin was Darth Vader.
To be honest, they name him in the OT. Remember Vader saying "That name no longer has any meaning for me!"
This is a marathon but definitely worth it. ❤️🎥❤️
Been a hot minute! So glad to see this! As usual you give priceless reactions and I look forward to seeing the next two. 🤩
YeeeeaHh OG Wakanobi is the best
But yes Leo ….Qui Gon ….is gone 🤣😂🤣😂
“ this is the way “
😉👍
Greets and cheers 🇭🇷✌️
MIK
It’s so funny to watch with ya Star Wars, when I drive around Europe it’s for me entertainment very important in my truck 😂😉👍
Dark Vadar???
Just teasing! 😂😂❤
Leo, we watch your videos to see YOUR reaction to the movies and shows we love.
It sucks that Patreon has spoiled this trilogy for you, it would be nice to see you watch the entire trilogy and come to your own conclusions without them telling you what to think.
You really weren’t supposed to find out for sure about Vader until episode 3.
Please tell your Patreon subscribers NO SPOILERS
I kinda wish they didn't tell you, it would have made a unique reaction
I wish I recorded my play through of red dead 2 because I didn't realise the family was the family/ the main character from red dead 1 the penny didn't drop until the house was finished & I was walking around the house I thought the old man look familiar & it kept bugging me I thought it was just he looked like the old guy from Toy Story 2, but I watch other peoples play through but they all remembered them
just a shame he waited soooooooooooooooooooooooooo long after episode 6 to watch episode 1, he must have forgotten everything :(
yea was thinking this. and hes really in for it if he goes back to Breaking Bad lol
Worth the wait you certainly have quite the back catalog to catch up on :)
I just finished part1 with you and it autoplayed to part2 your a savage🙌
Fun fact: Mace Windu was going to be played by 2Pac but he was replaced after his murder by Samuel L. Jackson
You picked up on the chancellor quick! lol glad you enjoyed that epic duel!
Lord have mercy Duel of the Fates never fails to give me goosebumps!
After Episode III, You should definitely watch:
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
The Mandalorian (TV series)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (TV series)
Yes!!!
Thanks for the reupload. You’re awesome man
The funny thing with Natalie Portman (Padame) and Keira Knightly (her handmaiden, and decoy), their mom's couldn't recognize them either when they were in make up and on set. And if you look at side by side of them even now and days they look a lot alike.
And Wynonna ryder
Leo is that dude. I’ll always light one up with the homie. Even if the TH-cam gods forbid bro from doing the same
real shame they told you who anakin was, i wanted to see your reaction when you realised, it is almost unheard of a reactor not knowing for sure and finding out on camera, it would have been great.
Yeah, that would’ve been a lot of fun. I wonder why they felt the need to tell him he was Darth Vader..
It's refreshing to watch this with someone that isn't super critical of the series and is watching through a microscope.
also, "May the force be with you," "Muthafucka," is my favorite quote today.
Lost it at @38:38 hahahaha, thank you Mr V!
Despite what anyone else says is a 2000s kid I was born literally 2002 raised up on a whole bunch of movies from the 80s as well as all of the Star Wars movies Indiana Jones James Bond a lot of classic movies But what I would have to say is the best Star Wars in my opinion this is up there
The voice in ur head, ur intuition. Your consciousness. Meditate my friend. You will learn so much about yourself. The force is like the divine spirit.
I will always enjoy the OT the most. BUT Episode 3 is so darn good you just gotta watch these too
LMAO "OG One" i like that xDD
41:09
Well,Leo,
That's because this movie was set 30 years before the events of the original trilogy
Hey, I thought your channel got smoked. Glad you're still here!
