Sophia's a keeper!! She's following everything just fine. It's nice seeing first time watchers enjoy and appreciate SW and taking it for what it is. The good story-telling, weird transitions, heroism and betrayal, cheesy humor, even the sometimes questionable dialogue are all part of what fans come to enjoy about the galaxy far, far away. Critics not so much. Thanks for the reactions, you two!!
The more I rewatch the sequel, the more I think Hayden Christensen is the best Anakin we could have had and I really dont understand why a lot of people hate his performance. Maybe episode 2 but it was part of the process of shown who Anakin is.
I do love Hayden, but I wish Lucas had had him portray Anakin like the one in Clone Wars. Watching Anakin in the Clone Wars legitimately makes it so sad when he turns to Darth Vader because of how charismatic and heroic he is in that show
@@shotsofpadronthat's the problem with CW Anakin. He is way too charismatic. Anakin was a troubled youth, grew up as a slave and was emotionally unstable. His demeanour in CW makes very little sense most of the Time. Haydens portrayal is the most logical, accurate and most faithful portrayal of Anakin, and is also the original first portrayal of teen/young adult Anakin, making anything that deviates from it, unfaithful adaptations of the character.
@@kamixakadio2441 I mean, I get what you mean. But there were still plenty of times when Anakin acted pretty unstable in Clone Wars, despite being charismatic. He gave into his anger pretty often, usually when being protective of the ones close to him. I personally prefer the depiction from the Clone Wars because it makes his turn to Vader so much more sad, and his redemption in Return of the Jedi all the more satisfying
Common mistake to idealize Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon defiant character will lead Anakin to the dark side just faster. Most people don't understand. Jedis don't need a father. Moreover this type of relations is dangerous and forbidden.
Sofie is SO PERCEPTIVE! She hit it ON THE HEAD when The Chancellor and Anakin were having their talk at that show. Yeah, Palpatine WAS the Sith that killed his master Plagueis, except it wasnt Palpatine that created Anakin, it was Plagueis, but she was SO CLOSE to it! As for Grevious, hes an android, a being in a robotic skeleton. He was a powerful warrior that needed the robotics to stay alive. It was actually Dooku that created the "accident" that required Grevious to need the suit and become more powerful!
no need clone wars (made by Disney & not Lucas) for this--just listen attentively to what the cloners say to Obi-Wan on Kamino. And also the dialogue between Jango & Obi-Wan. Everything is there. Clone Wars & the sequels were made by Disney to milk more $$$ from SW fans, but Lucas (the original creator) hates them all.
@@carlop.7182 lmfao, Clone Wars seasons 1-6 were created before Disney bought Star Wars. Only season 7 was created by Disney and the last 4 episodes of that season are arguably some of the best of the entire show by far and some of the best Star Wars content ever. And George Lucas produced and worked very closely with the show. It was his idea to make the show and he came up with a lot of ideas for the show, including Ahsoka being Anakin’s padawan (and the fact that he has a padwan at all) and bringing Maul back
@@Wolf_Dominic The cloners literally explain why the clones turned so easily. They said they were genetic nmodified to obey and to feel less emotion. I don't understand why we need to watch a kids cartoon to explain it.
This is by far my favorite of the Star Wars movies, but only because the build-up that took place in the first two makes this one so much more powerful.
It's so crazy that everything he does is to keep Padme from dying, yet in the end, it's everything he does to keep her alive that kills her! He goes bad to save her, but in the end, she loses the will to live because of the monster he's become, because "HER ANAKIN" the boy she fell in love with, is gone.
In Anakin's defense, on why he didn't see Palpatine was the big bad earlier. Palpatine began grooming Ani right from the start. All of that conflict within himself was created by Palpatine, as a caring, fatherly mentor, who regularly excused and justified behaviors and actions that directly contradict the Jedi ideology. Literally, every turn was masterfully manipulated by Palpatine/Sidious from the very start. I've never dug into the canon to confirm this, but my belief is that Palpatine was even behind Ani's mom getting abducted by the Tuscan raiders to create a situation that would assuredly push Ani to cross that line.
Anakin did NOTHING 'for' Padme. All he did was for himself. Not once did Anakin say 'Padme doesn't deserve to die' or 'I want to save my unborn child', ect. ect. It was always 'I won't lose you' and 'I can't live without her'. 'I' this and 'I' that. He doesn't consider how his actions will affect Padme. He doesn't ask Padme what she wants. He does not care about ANYTHING other than how he feels. What he wants. If he would have, for a second, actually considered how his turning would do to Padme he would have known that there was ZERO chance she would stay with Anakin.
EXACTLY. And that's why these movies are so beautifully and poetically written. Just as Anakin ironically states, the Jedi are selfless and only think about others, whereas the Sith are selfish and only think about themselves.
Loosing Qui-Gon Jin was a huge reason for Anakin turning imo. Had he lived things most likely would have been different imo. You need to do Obi-Wan next if you want to see Obi-Wan & Anakin talk briefly with each other about what happened
Actually Anakin was sent to the Jedi to bring love back to the Jedi the Force had seen that the Jedi had strayed from the path and Anakin was sent as a course correction When Luke started training Jedi he allowed and in fact encouraged relationships
Common mistake to idealize Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon defiant character will lead Anakin to the dark side just faster. Most people don't understand. Jedis don't need a father. Moreover this type of relations is dangerous and forbidden.
It might hurt but Anikin was the chosen 1. He brought Balance to the force by killing all the sith when he destroyed the emperor The prophscey was true!
I like that they tied it together like that. They also dropped subtle hints throughout that he was a strong believer in totalitarian rule. He saw democracy as inefficient, and in times of war, something that results in people getting needlessly killed. In his misguided way, he thought he was bringing peace to the Republic, something he thought was a noble cause.
22:07 Lucas was very intentional with everything… he is coughing because he is a cyborg.. Grievous is the precursor Vader… and if you really dig deep: each villain introduced in the prequels represent a part of Vader: the cyborg (Grievous), the hate (Maul) and the fallen Jedi (Dooku).
There is an animated show called Star Wars Clone Wars. It’s aimed for kids so maybe when you guys have some, if you don’t already, you could watch it with them; but that show takes place basically between episode 2 and 3 and really helps set up more of anikin’s strife with the Jedi council. As well as, introduces you to Asoka. I remember watching this movie back in the day and always felt ani’s anger towards the council came out of no where and that show really helped explain to me, it didn’t. I’m also writing this well before I get to that part of the movie so maybe you don’t even feel the same way I did haha
In addition to the problems the council caused in The Clone Wars, only masters on the council are allowed access to the holocron vault. Anakin wanted access to knowledge he could use to save Padme, and being denied the rank of master denied him of that opportunity, hence his reaction.
The first 6 movies are basically the story about Anakin Skywalker. A gifted young boy becoming a jedi. His turning to the darkside and his redemption by his son in the end.
Dying from an broken heart, Its common. Anakin is the reason Padme died. The future he saw was the one he created. If he didnt pursue to find a way to help Padme it probably never would have happend.
@@xsemag24 Would've made more sense if she banged her head hitting the floor - not sure how you can die of a broken heart when you've just given birth to two children - surely mother instinct would take over?
In the novelization, Padmé’s death is explained as her suffering medical complications as a result of being choked and dropped/thrown to the ground. She’s given a choice of saving herself, in which case her children will drown inside of her; or saving the children, in which case she’ll bleed out before the surgical droids can save her. Her grief over the loss of Anakin and her love for her children leads her to choose the latter and she dies insisting- hoping- that he could someday find his way back to being the good man that he was.
Obi-Wan vs Anakin (The Battle of the Heroes) is the longest movie duel of all time. There’s a really dope 30 min documentary about how it was made and it took over 1,000 people. I love this movie!
Keep in mind that the sequels are NOT George Lucas’s story. In fact, when Disney bought Star Wars from him, they actually rejected his story treatments for the sequel trilogy in favor of letting different directors make up the story of each film as they went along, and it shows. You can leave the sequels for last, last, last.
See how Palpatine manipulated both Anakin AND the Council into making sure both Obi-Wan and Yoda were both off of Coruscant at the crucial time? And made it look like both parties acted of their own agency. He knew exactly how the Council would react to him suggesting Anakin lead a campaign, immediate nope. Not saying for certain things would have been different but Anakin desperately needed Obi-Wan. Making sure he wouldn’t be there for Anakin was super important for Sidious’ plans.
You are a lucky man, Sophie is so intelligent and gorgeous, she figures things out so quick. I love how loud she is and when her eyes light up and that smile, wow.
When people watched these movies for the first time as were released, we had a couple years to discuss, tear apart the movies, and forget what we felt. When you watch them back to back, you feel like you still know these characters when they were young and innocent. It’s harder to watch.
THE INSIGHT, SOPHIE. I'm blown away. You figured out that Sidious (and Plagueis) created Anakin. That was something I never figured out or put together but got TOLD. And I got told YEARS after the first viewing. And you guys were both right. Padme died because Anakin was dying but ... he actually DID kill her. Not on purpose. He was basically fighting to live and through their bond and his power, he drained her life syphoned it away, to stay alive. He literally did not know at the time that's what he was doing (the Jedi did, indeed, keep MANY secrets about the Force, light and dark). Sidious totally knew. Technically, that kind of life-drain is a Sith ability. One the Jedi would never use. At least, not Jedi who hadn't fallen. And Anakin was already more than fallen at that point. He was already full Sith. Interesting side-fact ... the Sith reinforced their dedication to the dark side through a Sith Sacrifice--not just one. It basically amounted to "kill/destroy what you value most to prove your dedication to and affirmation of the dark side." It worked for more than one reason, as shown with the scene of the little padawans at the temple. Anakin murdered a crap-ton of Jedi and padawans, some of whom were, and I cannot overstate this, TODDLERS. If you're half-in on a plan or goal, but then you decide to keep going to the point of killing all your friends and some toddlers? You're not gonna ever be "half-in" again. You go FULL THROTTLE because: "I just murdered my peoples, EVEN the little kids ... there's no backing out, now." The Sith Sacrifice was more than a formality, it was brain-washing and consciously so. The Sith were consciously binding themselves to the dark side and THAT LIFE by killing anything they loved or valued that could rival the dark side and the quest for power. Sealing their own fates so that all they ever had left was the quest for MORE POWER. And each sacrifice was compounded by every kill, thereafter--especially if it was something they loved or valued. As an aside ... I really doubt that Sidious could have made a Sith Sacrifice--a true one. Because he never actually loved anyone nor anything. Not even his own family, whom he murdered. I wouldn't even call him Sith, if I had my druthers. Sith WILL sacrifice what they love for the power or goals they want ... but they DO experience love, even if it's just of the tenets of the Sith Order. They live and DIE for their Order and its goals. Sidious has never had such a Sacrifice or choice to make and is utterly incapable of loving or valuing things beyond their use. Nor does he care about Sith philosophy (it means nothing to him, nor does anything else but his own power) beyond how he can use it to further his own ends. He understands and wields Sith philosophy, and likes the trappings--it's a useful tool and the black cloak-uniform is pretty awesome, but he's never once loved and sacrificed, nor even loved and lost. If anything, Vader was the LAST of the Sith because whatever Sidious was, other than an a-hole, he wasn't exactly a Sith. Anyway, sorry for the ramble. You guys are so much fun to watch a movie with. CHEERS, and thank you for making my evening great!
24:00 it's was all palpatine. Palpatine set up anaking to be a war hero Superstar during the war. He was very famous and a Big Warrior by then. So the way the jedi is acting in this movie makes no sense, anaking should be respected. But the thing is, it's palpatine who placed anaking in the Best scenario to shine in the war, giving him the 501st clone unit. Also, the jedi failed ashoka (anaking's Padawan) during the war.
Anakin's descent into darkness was well portrayed. Because some Jedi never completely loved him, didn't respect him, didn't trust him, didn't take him seriously and even despised him. As a child before Obi-Wan started teaching him, he was hated and psychologically bullied by other children "Anakin is a slave to his feelings" and that was only because of envy because he was much more gifted and skilled than them. . . . And many other things and sufferings he and his padawan, Ashoka Tano, the Jedi like to cause. Yoda during the Clone Wars, he met the spirit of Darth Bane in Sitt's tomb, which is created by the rule of two. And later in his visions he saw Anakin becoming Darth Vader and didn't do anything about it because I thought it wasn't worth it. Anakin was a slave all his life - Tatuine, Jedi, Love, Dark Side. He became a father figure to Qui-gon Jinn, during his stay in the temple he was psychologically bullied and called by others "Anakin slaves to his own feelings", he lost his mother, the Jedi never married him all the time and without proper evidence he accused Ashoka and caused her to leave and finally he was afraid of losing Padmé. The only and worst support given the events was Palpatine who was a fatherly substitute for Anakin from the beginning. When he used Mace Windu's hand and after killing the Jedi he was already in the dark as the dark side itself showed him to the planet Mortis The One Son. On Mustafar, Padme almost got him from the dark side, but Obi-Wan discovered him and screwed it up. Anakin "Vader" built his castle on Mustafar and thanks to the two sbosobs he tried to revive Padmé but he could not see it due to the fact that Luke and Leya were already born, they were the only ones preventing it with their existence. Too bad he didn't find "Word between Wolrds" on the planet Lothal. He would create an alternate Reality or go through all of history. ;) . . . You have to find out about the lost 20 Jedi like Count Dooku, about the fates of Jedi with the ability to see the future, young apprentices who were not taken by any Jedi masters to learn, who showed little talent for the force and were not shown to the temple which in some cases was quite drastic, . .. Blinded by ego, aronance, pride, absolute help to people and not following the path of forces. Honor to the exceptions and one of the true Jedi was Master Fey. The Jedi and the Fallen Jedi (Sith) have betrayed the memory and message of their common ancestors of the Je'daii Order by their actions and the endless battles of their Civil War. 😊 May the force be with you.

Sophie gets a W from me.. She's basically on top of all this.. But one thing to remember is that the audience can see its Palpatine as the emperor, but the characters cannot.. The chancellor is just a good friend in Anakin's eyes.. It would almost be conspiracy theory if the Jedi took seriously the idea that the chancellor himself was the sith lord..
y'all reading the opening titles had me weak lol. Especially Sophie yelling out "WAR". I dont know how much time you have on your hands, but I would highly suggest watching the Clone Wars animated series. Its 7 seasons but it picks up where ep. 2 leaves off and ends right after ep. 3
Sophie in particular is ready for another Star Wars content. The Force is strong with her and her understanding of both the narrative and the characters. Consume as much Star Wars as possible: Rogue One first... then dive into Clone Wars, Rebels, the Mandalorian, ( seasons 1-2 ), The Book of Boba Fett, Mandalorian (season 3), and Tales of the Jedi, and then you'll be able to watch Ahsoka by then. As for the others like Episodes 7-9, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bad Batch, Solo, etc., those can be watched at random after. They aren't must-watch content like the ones previously mentioned. Take an even larger dive into this world. You won't regret it.
I feel like Palpatine was able to manipulate Anakin because he constantly gave high praise to him about his power and skill where as Obi Wan and the counsel did give Anakin some praise but were always tough on him
I like that we have four characters, with plot armor (they all are known to survive). Yet myself and a lot of viewers are still riveted to the fights. Fun reaction by the way.
As a huge Star Wars fan (mostly main stream stuff though), I somehow missed the theory on Palpatine creating Anakin! The comic Darth Vader #25 from 2018 seemingly suggests something close to it, but I don't know if the series is canon (I know Legends is not canon, but I don't know if that series is part of it). That's honestly a very good observation by Sophie, and it makes sense that purity (virgin Shmi) mixed with absolute evil (Palpatine) would create balance (Revan-esque idea of Anakin).
I love how the scenes parallel when Padme dies Vader is taking his first breath, she lost the will to live because the will to act and courage are opposite frequencies to cowardice and fear. Palpatine planted so much fear into Anakin and ironically drained Padmes will and love through Vaders fear and hate.
Grevious is not a droid, he is cyborg. Once he is been some great warrior and leader of his race but after war vs Old Republic and Jedi, his planet and race was destroyed and Count Dooky has turned him into cyborg. This is why Grevious hate all Jedi and that is why he hunt them. Grevious is one of the greatest light saber duelist in star wars and only who can fight him 1 on 1 is Obi-One!
Love the reaction! I don't buy into the hate these movies got, it was a tragic and moving story. A channel called 'Cinema Therapy' talks about how Anakin showed a lot of symptoms for Borderline Personality Disorder and they talk about all the symptoms and how it could have played a role in how Ani turned out. Definitely worth a watch. You guys should react to the Obi-wan Kenobi series sometime 🙂
I think Disney and the canon confirmed that Palpatine used what's known as an essence drain to take Padme's life essence to keep Anakin alive - as he was already going to die from his injuries sustained at Mustafar: and force heal is a Jedi technique that the Sith don't practice.
Dunno if you guys realized it, but the actor playing Palpatine/Sidious is the same guy who played him in Episode 6. He was 39 when Return of the Jedi came out, and was the perfect age when the Prequels came out to play the Emperor again, just without old man makeup
General Grievous was once a Kaleesh male named Qymaen Jai Sheelal, he had his entire body replaced with cybernetic parts in order to stand more of a chance against Jedi.
I think the emperor was the one who killed Padme. Whether or not she survived child birth, Palpatine would have killed her because an angry, hateful Vader served his needs rather than one with a satisfying marriage & family. That being said, the Jedi's strict policy of no attachments led to all sorts of problems. Anakin needed a family connection, as we all do, but the way he was forced to circumvent and deceive to get it, added to him being so possessive, which isn't a good thing.
It wasn't wrong that the Jedi have no close attachments, and this is precisely the reason why. It was perhaps the way Yoda approached Anakin's attachment that ultimately was unreasonable and cold. There was no way Anakin was going to cut ties with the one that he loved so deeply, and it only encouraged Anakin's conclusion that the Jedi were not necessarily in the right. But I do agree with you that Palpatine needed Anakin angry, and leaving Padme alive would not have served his interests.
It’s true Palpatine did kill his master Plagueis. However he never gained any of his master’s powers. Palpatine only grew more powerful with dark side surrounding him. Plagueis knows about the power to cheat the ability but he never taught it to Palpatine. While Anakin did have some depression and confusion for killing the Jedi however the Separatists he enjoyed killing them since he has been war with them for 3 years and they did unforgivable damage to the Republic. Anakin after losing all his limbs and getting burned alive got his mid chlorian decreased so much. Now his future potential is gone. Palpatine’s manipulation and careful planning went for nothing. The chosen one can no longer surpass him. Palpatine did wanted to abandon Vader for his failure but only saved him since there was no one left out their stronger than him. However Palpatine has always been looking for a new apprentice to surpass and kill Vader. Palpatine put Vader in that suit and tells him lies only to make Vader suffer for his failure.
death from a lack of will to live IS possible, but honestly I doubt it ever happened to someone who just became a mother. i feel like your children are your new will to live
Even if Vader beat obi Wan immediately and did learn the way to stop payment from dying she would still leave him. He killed children to save her while pregnant. Obi Wan dismmembing Vader was probably the most positive outcome for himself
Anakin didnt lie to Padme about the Jedi trying to overthrow the chancellor, he just didnt tell her all the details If you remember in a scene earlier the council members talked about removing Palpatine from office and the Jedi will have to take control to ensure a peaceful transition of power, before knowing he's the sith lord. Now for me personally I dont see why an unelected group of monks should even have that conversation in the first place
I remember sitting in the car on the ride home from seeing this when it came out, my senior year of high school I believe. All I could think at the time was "my life is complete."
Great story telling here.. you guys are on your way I’ve been a Star Wars fan all my life and I have great knowledge about these Saga and it’s great to see it new and fresh in someone’s alive you guys definitely need to watch the Obi-Wan series next to follow along with the story that’s going on now.
They way they explained it in the Vader “nooo” scene is a lot sadder in the novels they described something like he wanted to cry but his tear ducks were either removed or had to be removed because of the fire he also wanted to scream but his voice realistically is a whisper because the fire scorched his throat so he couldn’t even grieve like a normal person the only reason vaders voice is as loud and authoritative as it is is because there is a mic in his helmet that picks up on what he says and translates or transmits it out for everyone else to hear but how Vader sound in return of the Jedi when they took off his helmet in the end is how he actually sounds he didn’t sound like “weak” because he was dying that’s how is voice sounds after the fire it’s really tragic he becomes more machine than man he again literally can’t even cry no tears will come out he also has a tube that runs through his body and the craziest thing of all when they operated on Vader they didn’t give him anything to numb the pain so he felt every single thing they were doing to him he felt them carve up his body and replace the bits with machines he felt every little thing it’s really really sad there were some cases after this investigation vaders early years where he would put himself in situations to die there was one situation where the guy that designed the Vader suit basically shut it down on him and Vader was stuck in that shell but through his own rage used the force to move his arms and legs and to use to to help him breath and basically rages out and drops a whole building to n himself and the people he was fighting and he had a whole dream sequence with his wife only to wake up and realize that he didn’t die and he is still alive he was a very very depressed man “hurt people hurt people” kinda thing it wasn’t until he found out that the pilot in episode 4 was called “Skywalker” was when Vader personality kinda shift in the comics he even saved Luke a few times and went out of his way to punish those that seek to do Luke harm funny enough Vader makes his infatuation for Luke with the dark side and seeking an apprentice but at the end of the day it wasn’t that at all it was love in vaders mind Luke is all he has left of his wife and his life as Anakin he mixed that up with the teachings of the dark side but he truly did love his son and when he found out he loved Leia too he even comes to her as a force ghost to apologize he realized he did his daughter wrong and felt bad for it but Leia is very much her fathers daughter and didn’t accept his forgiveness she eventually comes to terms with the fact her father was Vader but Luke is much more like his mother than his father Leia for example wouldn’t be able to do what Luke did at least not during the time period Luke was she would of most likely fell to the dark side and killed Vader for revenge when Luke having his mothers heart would not and could not Leia during the movies was to emotionally compromised to become a Jedi she is very much like her father in that way love Star Wars hope yall watch the kenobi show Vader and obi interaction is the best part of that show
I couldn't talk about this film after seeing it opening night. When Mace Windu was electrocuted and tossed, I yelled "F U Palpatine!" incredibly loudly, and the whole audience laughed.
Mair you did so good letting Sophie figuring out everything the first 5 movies. this one you was being Super Spoiler Man Leading her the whole movie. She was getting bro. You was so quiet the first 5 movies, you talked so much this one.
Highly recommend the mandalorian series as the clone wars, bad batch and rebels are all long watches and dive deeper into the clone wars and since Sophie is new to star wars she can always come back to it as she has seen the larger story. The mandalorian is very refreshing and not as heavy to watch
Did you know: Star Wars canon has since added a new, even darker, dimension to order 66; it has revealed the clones were implanted with inhibitor chips that forced them to obey and betray their generals.
Their final reactions to the original 6 movies is why I prefer new people to do Machete order. The series wraps up like a funeral. People who do a Machete order have a much difference experience with the whole trilogy. Return of The Jedi and Revenge of the Sith mirror each other ALOT. It also RAISES the stakes of Luke in Return of the Jedi, because you see how so much of what does (and had done) mirrors Anakin's journey. Story: 4,5 Flashback: 1,2,3, Conclusion: 6 But for the reactors, this was a PHENOMENAL reaction. I know people HATE on the prequels for certain things, but it is UNDOUBTABLY Star Wars. The Prequels actually inform you of what the actual stakes are in 4, 5, and 6. The audience only knows what Luke does in that point. However, the prequels give CONTEXT to things that you took for granted... ESPECIALLY in ESB (5) For example: When Yoda tells Luke that he is "too old" you don't get the sense of how RIDICULOUSLY OLD he was. Anakin at the age of 9 was too old. So by Yoda training Luke he is taking a HUGE risk. Luke not only is old, but has HUGE attachments to his friends. And by the end of the movie, proves this is a problem and FAILS (by stopping his training and going after Han / Leia). But again great reaction, and I encourage you to go back and rewatch Return of the Jedi. It will mean alot more to you now.
Anakin's actions are what killed Padme. She basically died of a "broken heart". The irony is that Anakin was "seeing" her death, but he caused it. His joining the Sith to "save" her was the very action that broke her. Paradox. Had he not done that, Padme would've never had to confront him about the truth. His killing the younglings and the "let's rule the galaxy together" was one of her greatest nightmares made true. Then him choking her out? What? That did it. Anakin laying hands on her? Unheard of in Padme's world with him. She literally and physically died after that, only staying long enough to birth her children. Even they weren't enough to keep her in a world where Anakin had done the most unforgiveable things.
The truth of Anakin Skywalker he grew up a slave with his mom but did not have a father Anakin was made in his mothers womb by the midi-chlorians. To to clarify why the Jedi council did not want to train Aniken was because he was too old because generally when they knew about a force sensitive child, they would take them from the parents never to be seen by the parents. Also, the reasoning for the whole series was because of what had happened in episode one the Phantom Menace between the duel of Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, since Qui-Gon Jinn was killed Anakin did not have the love and care that a regular child should have, but especially it was vital becoming the Jedi he was supposed to become see the newer Jedi thought that becoming stoic and objective were the best options to becoming a Jedi, but in the clone wars series, if they weren’t, they would often deal with “bad people “and that’s what eventually turned count Dooku over to the dark side (Count Dooku was Quí-Gon Jinn‘s master). If Qui-Gon have lived through the duel of fates (Darth Maul vs Qui-Gon Jinn) things would have been different. Basically objective + negotiative = Jedi also led Anakin to the dark side. Qui-Gon Jinn alive + caring + loving = no Darth Vader
Grievous has the cough due to an injury he got in battle from Mace Windu in the clone wars animated series. He started out as an organic being and was modified into a cyborg. He has a whole history with the Jedi and reason to hate them. See this link for his story. th-cam.com/video/Gf9J0GlPH6I/w-d-xo.html Also the Sith have a rule of 2. In that rule the student is expected to grow powerful enough to kill the master. Then the new master takes an apprentice and expects the same betrayal some day. It allows the Sith keep getting stronger over time.
No matter what the Jedi were doomed. Palpatine would have still killed alll the Jedi through order 66. Mace would not have known about Palpatine and would have gone into hiding like Yoda and Obi-Wan probably. Anakin was brainwashed from the age of ten by Palpatine to distrust the jedi through gradually more direct statements.
i love the new set ps: 21:20 Grevious is a cyborg ,just like Darth Vader(half man-half machine). he probably started like Anakin as a human with just a fake robotic hand, then more of his body parts were lost during combat and replaced until he reached that awful state eventually .
she makes me mad when she say being a Jedi you can’t have attachment but that’s physically impossible almost and there they send Anakin on a protection mission to protect Padme what did they think were going to happen Anakin and Padme are very good friends and could easily hook up neither the Jedi or the senate saw this coming people like Yoda can feel emotions and read minds yoda knew about Anakin and Padme but I did nothing to stop it 😂
Sophie figured out Palpatine killed his master and created Anakin, without reading the source material. That is some next level gut instinct lmao!

Thanks for the reactions, you two!!
The first time i was reading your comment, i accidently interpreted "SW" as "Sith Warrior" lol
She nailed it 👏
The more I rewatch the sequel, the more I think Hayden Christensen is the best Anakin we could have had and I really dont understand why a lot of people hate his performance. Maybe episode 2 but it was part of the process of shown who Anakin is.
Also the clone wars make it so much better
I do love Hayden, but I wish Lucas had had him portray Anakin like the one in Clone Wars. Watching Anakin in the Clone Wars legitimately makes it so sad when he turns to Darth Vader because of how charismatic and heroic he is in that show
@@shotsofpadronthat's the problem with CW Anakin. He is way too charismatic. Anakin was a troubled youth, grew up as a slave and was emotionally unstable. His demeanour in CW makes very little sense most of the Time. Haydens portrayal is the most logical, accurate and most faithful portrayal of Anakin, and is also the original first portrayal of teen/young adult Anakin, making anything that deviates from it, unfaithful adaptations of the character.
@@kamixakadio2441 I mean, I get what you mean. But there were still plenty of times when Anakin acted pretty unstable in Clone Wars, despite being charismatic. He gave into his anger pretty often, usually when being protective of the ones close to him. I personally prefer the depiction from the Clone Wars because it makes his turn to Vader so much more sad, and his redemption in Return of the Jedi all the more satisfying
Nah. Hayden didn't sell it. Simple as that. Definitely moved in the right direction in 3 but still wasn't quite the believable Anakin we could've had
"You were my brother anakin!"
That's the problem. He needed a father, not a brother. Qui gon dying made a huge impact
yeah he practically lost his "father", mother and then his girl
Common mistake to idealize Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon defiant character will lead Anakin to the dark side just faster. Most people don't understand. Jedis don't need a father. Moreover this type of relations is dangerous and forbidden.
Sophie’s quick! She has a good eye/ear for details of what’s really going on, and articulates it well. Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Sofie is SO PERCEPTIVE! She hit it ON THE HEAD when The Chancellor and Anakin were having their talk at that show. Yeah, Palpatine WAS the Sith that killed his master Plagueis, except it wasnt Palpatine that created Anakin, it was Plagueis, but she was SO CLOSE to it! As for Grevious, hes an android, a being in a robotic skeleton. He was a powerful warrior that needed the robotics to stay alive. It was actually Dooku that created the "accident" that required Grevious to need the suit and become more powerful!
Well, technically we dont know if Plagueis created Anakin.
@@szpyrk0 yeah Palpatine creating Anakin makes more sense and makes him an even more diabolical planner to take over the galaxy.
28:49 no spoilers but in the Clone Wars, it actually explains how and why the clones so easily turned on the Jedi. It’s actually pretty interesting!
no need clone wars (made by Disney & not Lucas) for this--just listen attentively to what the cloners say to Obi-Wan on Kamino. And also the dialogue between Jango & Obi-Wan. Everything is there. Clone Wars & the sequels were made by Disney to milk more $$$ from SW fans, but Lucas (the original creator) hates them all.
@@carlop.7182 lmfao, Clone Wars seasons 1-6 were created before Disney bought Star Wars. Only season 7 was created by Disney and the last 4 episodes of that season are arguably some of the best of the entire show by far and some of the best Star Wars content ever. And George Lucas produced and worked very closely with the show. It was his idea to make the show and he came up with a lot of ideas for the show, including Ahsoka being Anakin’s padawan (and the fact that he has a padwan at all) and bringing Maul back
@@carlop.7182You really don’t know a lot about the Clone Wars do you?
@@Wolf_Dominic The cloners literally explain why the clones turned so easily. They said they were genetic nmodified to obey and to feel less emotion. I don't understand why we need to watch a kids cartoon to explain it.
@@Prince_the_One Maybe people just watch it because it’s a good show.
This is by far my favorite of the Star Wars movies, but only because the build-up that took place in the first two makes this one so much more powerful.
It's so crazy that everything he does is to keep Padme from dying, yet in the end, it's everything he does to keep her alive that kills her! He goes bad to save her, but in the end, she loses the will to live because of the monster he's become, because "HER ANAKIN" the boy she fell in love with, is gone.
Yoda: Into exile, I must go.
Sophie: Ohhh.They done stressed Yoda out.
Sophie is the best.
In Anakin's defense, on why he didn't see Palpatine was the big bad earlier. Palpatine began grooming Ani right from the start. All of that conflict within himself was created by Palpatine, as a caring, fatherly mentor, who regularly excused and justified behaviors and actions that directly contradict the Jedi ideology. Literally, every turn was masterfully manipulated by Palpatine/Sidious from the very start. I've never dug into the canon to confirm this, but my belief is that Palpatine was even behind Ani's mom getting abducted by the Tuscan raiders to create a situation that would assuredly push Ani to cross that line.
Anakin did NOTHING 'for' Padme. All he did was for himself. Not once did Anakin say 'Padme doesn't deserve to die' or 'I want to save my unborn child', ect. ect. It was always 'I won't lose you' and 'I can't live without her'. 'I' this and 'I' that. He doesn't consider how his actions will affect Padme. He doesn't ask Padme what she wants. He does not care about ANYTHING other than how he feels. What he wants. If he would have, for a second, actually considered how his turning would do to Padme he would have known that there was ZERO chance she would stay with Anakin.
EXACTLY. And that's why these movies are so beautifully and poetically written. Just as Anakin ironically states, the Jedi are selfless and only think about others, whereas the Sith are selfish and only think about themselves.
Loosing Qui-Gon Jin was a huge reason for Anakin turning imo. Had he lived things most likely would have been different imo. You need to do Obi-Wan next if you want to see Obi-Wan & Anakin talk briefly with each other about what happened
Actually Anakin was sent to the Jedi to bring love back to the Jedi the Force had seen that the Jedi had strayed from the path and Anakin was sent as a course correction
When Luke started training Jedi he allowed and in fact encouraged relationships
Common mistake to idealize Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon defiant character will lead Anakin to the dark side just faster. Most people don't understand. Jedis don't need a father. Moreover this type of relations is dangerous and forbidden.
It might hurt but Anikin was the chosen 1. He brought Balance to the force by killing all the sith when he destroyed the emperor The prophscey was true!
I like that they tied it together like that. They also dropped subtle hints throughout that he was a strong believer in totalitarian rule. He saw democracy as inefficient, and in times of war, something that results in people getting needlessly killed. In his misguided way, he thought he was bringing peace to the Republic, something he thought was a noble cause.
Until the sequels threw that all out the window.
@@Caedus696 Yeah clone trials to eventually sidious.... The others looked like Thalidamide babies
22:07 Lucas was very intentional with everything… he is coughing because he is a cyborg.. Grievous is the precursor Vader… and if you really dig deep: each villain introduced in the prequels represent a part of Vader: the cyborg (Grievous), the hate (Maul) and the fallen Jedi (Dooku).
There is an animated show called Star Wars Clone Wars. It’s aimed for kids so maybe when you guys have some, if you don’t already, you could watch it with them; but that show takes place basically between episode 2 and 3 and really helps set up more of anikin’s strife with the Jedi council. As well as, introduces you to Asoka. I remember watching this movie back in the day and always felt ani’s anger towards the council came out of no where and that show really helped explain to me, it didn’t. I’m also writing this well before I get to that part of the movie so maybe you don’t even feel the same way I did haha
But you can also watch it if don’t have children
In addition to the problems the council caused in The Clone Wars, only masters on the council are allowed access to the holocron vault. Anakin wanted access to knowledge he could use to save Padme, and being denied the rank of master denied him of that opportunity, hence his reaction.
@@MatthewJamesKalasky exactly 👍🏻
Season 7 is not made for kids imo
@@Vendetta744 season seven came like a decade after the show ended.
Poor Anakin,had all these people in his head and it just destroyed him😞
The first 6 movies are basically the story about Anakin Skywalker. A gifted young boy becoming a jedi. His turning to the darkside and his redemption by his son in the end.
Sophie! I need you to do a video on the skin routine! It's giving! The glow is glowing mama!
A lot of Biblical references in the Star Wars franchise. One of my favorites being, Anakin looking like a Lucifer painting right here 35:35
18:20 - first time I've ever seen someone pick all that up first watch
The fan theory for Padme's death is that the Emperor was using Sith sorcery to drain her life to keep Anakin alive.
Ultimately you can die the way Padme did. Carey Fisher's mother also lost the will to live, and died a few days later after her.
Which is crazy because the actual reason she is dying is because George Lucas is a terrible writer.
Dying from an broken heart, Its common. Anakin is the reason Padme died. The future he saw was the one he created. If he didnt pursue to find a way to help Padme it probably never would have happend.
@@xsemag24 Would've made more sense if she banged her head hitting the floor - not sure how you can die of a broken heart when you've just given birth to two children - surely mother instinct would take over?
@@chand911said nobody with even a half-moderate understanding of writing
In the novelization, Padmé’s death is explained as her suffering medical complications as a result of being choked and dropped/thrown to the ground. She’s given a choice of saving herself, in which case her children will drown inside of her; or saving the children, in which case she’ll bleed out before the surgical droids can save her.
Her grief over the loss of Anakin and her love for her children leads her to choose the latter and she dies insisting- hoping- that he could someday find his way back to being the good man that he was.
Obi-Wan vs Anakin (The Battle of the Heroes) is the longest movie duel of all time. There’s a really dope 30 min documentary about how it was made and it took over 1,000 people. I love this movie!
All this could have been avoided if the Jedi didn’t cheap out and just payed for Anakins moms freedom
Believe it or not this is actually addressed in the new canon novel Queen's shadow
or if windu just took the chancellor to trial
@@epicmonkey6663bro sideous wasn’t going to trial
@@mansoorahmed1676 I AM THE SENATE.
@@epicmonkey6663 Nobody would have believed Mace windu over the Chancellor that was the entire point.
Keep in mind that the sequels are NOT George Lucas’s story. In fact, when Disney bought Star Wars from him, they actually rejected his story treatments for the sequel trilogy in favor of letting different directors make up the story of each film as they went along, and it shows. You can leave the sequels for last, last, last.
See how Palpatine manipulated both Anakin AND the Council into making sure both Obi-Wan and Yoda were both off of Coruscant at the crucial time? And made it look like both parties acted of their own agency. He knew exactly how the Council would react to him suggesting Anakin lead a campaign, immediate nope. Not saying for certain things would have been different but Anakin desperately needed Obi-Wan. Making sure he wouldn’t be there for Anakin was super important for Sidious’ plans.
I loved how invested you both were, just shows how well the prequels storyline holds itself! The commentary is spot on from you two as well! 👌🏻
You are a lucky man, Sophie is so intelligent and gorgeous, she figures things out so quick. I love how loud she is and when her eyes light up and that smile, wow.
Theres no way You guys just gave me the perfect midnight snacking perfect vídeo to watch.
When people watched these movies for the first time as were released, we had a couple years to discuss, tear apart the movies, and forget what we felt. When you watch them back to back, you feel like you still know these characters when they were young and innocent. It’s harder to watch.
Y’all got some dope, authentic reactions.
Real reactions no gimmicks 🎉
THE INSIGHT, SOPHIE. I'm blown away. You figured out that Sidious (and Plagueis) created Anakin. That was something I never figured out or put together but got TOLD. And I got told YEARS after the first viewing.
And you guys were both right. Padme died because Anakin was dying but ... he actually DID kill her. Not on purpose. He was basically fighting to live and through their bond and his power, he drained her life syphoned it away, to stay alive. He literally did not know at the time that's what he was doing (the Jedi did, indeed, keep MANY secrets about the Force, light and dark). Sidious totally knew. Technically, that kind of life-drain is a Sith ability. One the Jedi would never use. At least, not Jedi who hadn't fallen. And Anakin was already more than fallen at that point. He was already full Sith. Interesting side-fact ... the Sith reinforced their dedication to the dark side through a Sith Sacrifice--not just one. It basically amounted to "kill/destroy what you value most to prove your dedication to and affirmation of the dark side." It worked for more than one reason, as shown with the scene of the little padawans at the temple. Anakin murdered a crap-ton of Jedi and padawans, some of whom were, and I cannot overstate this, TODDLERS. If you're half-in on a plan or goal, but then you decide to keep going to the point of killing all your friends and some toddlers? You're not gonna ever be "half-in" again. You go FULL THROTTLE because: "I just murdered my peoples, EVEN the little kids ... there's no backing out, now." The Sith Sacrifice was more than a formality, it was brain-washing and consciously so. The Sith were consciously binding themselves to the dark side and THAT LIFE by killing anything they loved or valued that could rival the dark side and the quest for power. Sealing their own fates so that all they ever had left was the quest for MORE POWER. And each sacrifice was compounded by every kill, thereafter--especially if it was something they loved or valued.
As an aside ... I really doubt that Sidious could have made a Sith Sacrifice--a true one. Because he never actually loved anyone nor anything. Not even his own family, whom he murdered. I wouldn't even call him Sith, if I had my druthers. Sith WILL sacrifice what they love for the power or goals they want ... but they DO experience love, even if it's just of the tenets of the Sith Order. They live and DIE for their Order and its goals. Sidious has never had such a Sacrifice or choice to make and is utterly incapable of loving or valuing things beyond their use. Nor does he care about Sith philosophy (it means nothing to him, nor does anything else but his own power) beyond how he can use it to further his own ends. He understands and wields Sith philosophy, and likes the trappings--it's a useful tool and the black cloak-uniform is pretty awesome, but he's never once loved and sacrificed, nor even loved and lost. If anything, Vader was the LAST of the Sith because whatever Sidious was, other than an a-hole, he wasn't exactly a Sith.
Anyway, sorry for the ramble. You guys are so much fun to watch a movie with. CHEERS, and thank you for making my evening great!
24:00 it's was all palpatine. Palpatine set up anaking to be a war hero Superstar during the war. He was very famous and a Big Warrior by then.
So the way the jedi is acting in this movie makes no sense, anaking should be respected.
But the thing is, it's palpatine who placed anaking in the Best scenario to shine in the war, giving him the 501st clone unit.
Also, the jedi failed ashoka (anaking's Padawan) during the war.
Anakin's descent into darkness was well portrayed.
Because some Jedi never completely loved him, didn't respect him, didn't trust him, didn't take him seriously and even despised him.
As a child before Obi-Wan started teaching him, he was hated and psychologically bullied by other children "Anakin is a slave to his feelings" and that was only because of envy because he was much more gifted and skilled than them.
.
.
.
And many other things and sufferings he and his padawan, Ashoka Tano, the Jedi like to cause.
Yoda during the Clone Wars, he met the spirit of Darth Bane in Sitt's tomb, which is created by the rule of two.
And later in his visions he saw Anakin becoming Darth Vader and didn't do anything about it because I thought it wasn't worth it.
Anakin was a slave all his life - Tatuine, Jedi, Love, Dark Side.
He became a father figure to Qui-gon Jinn, during his stay in the temple he was psychologically bullied and called by others "Anakin slaves to his own feelings", he lost his mother, the Jedi never married him all the time and without proper evidence he accused Ashoka and caused her to leave and finally he was afraid of losing Padmé.
The only and worst support given the events was Palpatine who was a fatherly substitute for Anakin from the beginning.
When he used Mace Windu's hand and after killing the Jedi he was already in the dark as the dark side itself showed him to the planet Mortis The One Son.
On Mustafar, Padme almost got him from the dark side, but Obi-Wan discovered him and screwed it up.
Anakin "Vader" built his castle on Mustafar and thanks to the two sbosobs he tried to revive Padmé but he could not see it due to the fact that Luke and Leya were already born, they were the only ones preventing it with their existence.
Too bad he didn't find "Word between Wolrds" on the planet Lothal. He would create an alternate Reality or go through all of history. ;)

You have to find out about the lost 20 Jedi like Count Dooku, about the fates of Jedi with the ability to see the future, young apprentices who were not taken by any Jedi masters to learn, who showed little talent for the force and were not shown to the temple which in some cases was quite drastic, . ..
Blinded by ego, aronance, pride, absolute help to people and not following the path of forces.
Honor to the exceptions and one of the true Jedi was Master Fey.
The Jedi and the Fallen Jedi (Sith) have betrayed the memory and message of their common ancestors of the Je'daii Order by their actions and the endless battles of their Civil War. 😊

Sophie gets a W from me.. She's basically on top of all this.. But one thing to remember is that the audience can see its Palpatine as the emperor, but the characters cannot.. The chancellor is just a good friend in Anakin's eyes..
It would almost be conspiracy theory if the Jedi took seriously the idea that the chancellor himself was the sith lord..
Sophie said WIFE with her chest! I love it!
I'm convinced Palpatine implanted the dreams of Padme's death into Annikin's mind to manipulate him into his fall to the dark side.
y'all reading the opening titles had me weak lol. Especially Sophie yelling out "WAR". I dont know how much time you have on your hands, but I would highly suggest watching the Clone Wars animated series. Its 7 seasons but it picks up where ep. 2 leaves off and ends right after ep. 3
Sophie in particular is ready for another Star Wars content. The Force is strong with her and her understanding of both the narrative and the characters. Consume as much Star Wars as possible: Rogue One first... then dive into Clone Wars, Rebels, the Mandalorian, ( seasons 1-2 ), The Book of Boba Fett, Mandalorian (season 3), and Tales of the Jedi, and then you'll be able to watch Ahsoka by then. As for the others like Episodes 7-9, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bad Batch, Solo, etc., those can be watched at random after. They aren't must-watch content like the ones previously mentioned. Take an even larger dive into this world. You won't regret it.
I so hope they do that
The Disney stuff is dogshit
In that crash landing --- Palpatine was genuinely scared that they would possibly die XD
I feel like Palpatine was able to manipulate Anakin because he constantly gave high praise to him about his power and skill where as Obi Wan and the counsel did give Anakin some praise but were always tough on him
When Bail Organa asked for the protocol droid to be mind wiped he was referring to 3CPO not R2-D2 ....
Grievous isn't a droid or robot, he's a cyborg, he was originally a warrior from kaleesh but got badly wounded so he became a cyborg
I like that we have four characters, with plot armor (they all are known to survive). Yet myself and a lot of viewers are still riveted to the fights. Fun reaction by the way.
As a huge Star Wars fan (mostly main stream stuff though), I somehow missed the theory on Palpatine creating Anakin! The comic Darth Vader #25 from 2018 seemingly suggests something close to it, but I don't know if the series is canon (I know Legends is not canon, but I don't know if that series is part of it). That's honestly a very good observation by Sophie, and it makes sense that purity (virgin Shmi) mixed with absolute evil (Palpatine) would create balance (Revan-esque idea of Anakin).
The senator said to have the protocol droid's memory wiped, so only C3PO had his memory wiped, not R2-D2.
They were right to wipe his memory. As we all know, C3PO doesn't know when to shut up.
I love how the scenes parallel when Padme dies Vader is taking his first breath, she lost the will to live because the will to act and courage are opposite frequencies to cowardice and fear. Palpatine planted so much fear into Anakin and ironically drained Padmes will and love through Vaders fear and hate.
Sophie nailed it.
Grevious is not a droid, he is cyborg. Once he is been some great warrior and leader of his race but after war vs Old Republic and Jedi, his planet and race was destroyed and Count Dooky has turned him into cyborg. This is why Grevious hate all Jedi and that is why he hunt them.
Grevious is one of the greatest light saber duelist in star wars and only who can fight him 1 on 1 is Obi-One!
I feel like I'm watching with my homies when I watch you two. Thanks much appreciated.
Love the reaction! I don't buy into the hate these movies got, it was a tragic and moving story. A channel called 'Cinema Therapy' talks about how Anakin showed a lot of symptoms for Borderline Personality Disorder and they talk about all the symptoms and how it could have played a role in how Ani turned out. Definitely worth a watch. You guys should react to the Obi-wan Kenobi series sometime 🙂
I think Disney and the canon confirmed that Palpatine used what's known as an essence drain to take Padme's life essence to keep Anakin alive - as he was already going to die from his injuries sustained at Mustafar: and force heal is a Jedi technique that the Sith don't practice.
18:55 got DAMN she’s on top of it
Dunno if you guys realized it, but the actor playing Palpatine/Sidious is the same guy who played him in Episode 6. He was 39 when Return of the Jedi came out, and was the perfect age when the Prequels came out to play the Emperor again, just without old man makeup
Epic reaction. The fights and drama of this movie are untouched.
General Grievous was once a Kaleesh male named Qymaen Jai Sheelal, he had his entire body replaced with cybernetic parts in order to stand more of a chance against Jedi.
I think the emperor was the one who killed Padme. Whether or not she survived child birth, Palpatine would have killed her because an angry, hateful Vader served his needs rather than one with a satisfying marriage & family.
That being said, the Jedi's strict policy of no attachments led to all sorts of problems. Anakin needed a family connection, as we all do, but the way he was forced to circumvent and deceive to get it, added to him being so possessive, which isn't a good thing.
It wasn't wrong that the Jedi have no close attachments, and this is precisely the reason why. It was perhaps the way Yoda approached Anakin's attachment that ultimately was unreasonable and cold. There was no way Anakin was going to cut ties with the one that he loved so deeply, and it only encouraged Anakin's conclusion that the Jedi were not necessarily in the right. But I do agree with you that Palpatine needed Anakin angry, and leaving Padme alive would not have served his interests.
Yooo 18:40 you just slammed the whole plot line of plaguis and Palpy. I’m floored hahaha
It’s true Palpatine did kill his master Plagueis. However he never gained any of his master’s powers. Palpatine only grew more powerful with dark side surrounding him.
Plagueis knows about the power to cheat the ability but he never taught it to Palpatine.
While Anakin did have some depression and confusion for killing the Jedi however the Separatists he enjoyed killing them since he has been war with them for 3 years and they did unforgivable damage to the Republic.
Anakin after losing all his limbs and getting burned alive got his mid chlorian decreased so much. Now his future potential is gone. Palpatine’s manipulation and careful planning went for nothing. The chosen one can no longer surpass him. Palpatine did wanted to abandon Vader for his failure but only saved him since there was no one left out their stronger than him. However Palpatine has always been looking for a new apprentice to surpass and kill Vader. Palpatine put Vader in that suit and tells him lies only to make Vader suffer for his failure.
The problem is palpatine kept close tabs on anakin and fed his ego since he was little
death from a lack of will to live IS possible, but honestly I doubt it ever happened to someone who just became a mother. i feel like your children are your new will to live
i missed the second one be back in an hour lol 👍👋
Even if Vader beat obi Wan immediately and did learn the way to stop payment from dying she would still leave him. He killed children to save her while pregnant. Obi Wan dismmembing Vader was probably the most positive outcome for himself
Anakin didnt lie to Padme about the Jedi trying to overthrow the chancellor, he just didnt tell her all the details
If you remember in a scene earlier the council members talked about removing Palpatine from office and the Jedi will have to take control to ensure a peaceful transition of power, before knowing he's the sith lord. Now for me personally I dont see why an unelected group of monks should even have that conversation in the first place
When Anakin leapt,Obi knew the move Anakin was going to do. He'd done it to kill Maul
this movie aged like fine wine
I remember sitting in the car on the ride home from seeing this when it came out, my senior year of high school I believe. All I could think at the time was "my life is complete."
Also ayo I'm liking this new setup ya'll got! Lots of opportunity for decoration with your favorite movies/shows.
8:39 my gf always leaves me hanging too for high fives 😂 great reaction guys
Love the reaction hahah the screaming is so accurate
(Applause and cheering): Right on Sophie!

That prediction tho 👀👀
Great story telling here.. you guys are on your way I’ve been a Star Wars fan all my life and I have great knowledge about these Saga and it’s great to see it new and fresh in someone’s alive you guys definitely need to watch the Obi-Wan series next to follow along with the story that’s going on now.
I liked the couch because y'all was hugged up but I can see it was uncomfortable so...
It's not that everyone is trying to tell Anakin, it's that they're all pulling him in different directions.
New follower guys ..only 5 minutes in and I love you two guys ... looking forward to seeing all your stuff
They way they explained it in the Vader “nooo” scene is a lot sadder in the novels they described something like he wanted to cry but his tear ducks were either removed or had to be removed because of the fire he also wanted to scream but his voice realistically is a whisper because the fire scorched his throat so he couldn’t even grieve like a normal person the only reason vaders voice is as loud and authoritative as it is is because there is a mic in his helmet that picks up on what he says and translates or transmits it out for everyone else to hear but how Vader sound in return of the Jedi when they took off his helmet in the end is how he actually sounds he didn’t sound like “weak” because he was dying that’s how is voice sounds after the fire it’s really tragic he becomes more machine than man he again literally can’t even cry no tears will come out he also has a tube that runs through his body and the craziest thing of all when they operated on Vader they didn’t give him anything to numb the pain so he felt every single thing they were doing to him he felt them carve up his body and replace the bits with machines he felt every little thing it’s really really sad there were some cases after this investigation vaders early years where he would put himself in situations to die there was one situation where the guy that designed the Vader suit basically shut it down on him and Vader was stuck in that shell but through his own rage used the force to move his arms and legs and to use to to help him breath and basically rages out and drops a whole building to n himself and the people he was fighting and he had a whole dream sequence with his wife only to wake up and realize that he didn’t die and he is still alive he was a very very depressed man “hurt people hurt people” kinda thing it wasn’t until he found out that the pilot in episode 4 was called “Skywalker” was when Vader personality kinda shift in the comics he even saved Luke a few times and went out of his way to punish those that seek to do Luke harm funny enough Vader makes his infatuation for Luke with the dark side and seeking an apprentice but at the end of the day it wasn’t that at all it was love in vaders mind Luke is all he has left of his wife and his life as Anakin he mixed that up with the teachings of the dark side but he truly did love his son and when he found out he loved Leia too he even comes to her as a force ghost to apologize he realized he did his daughter wrong and felt bad for it but Leia is very much her fathers daughter and didn’t accept his forgiveness she eventually comes to terms with the fact her father was Vader but Luke is much more like his mother than his father Leia for example wouldn’t be able to do what Luke did at least not during the time period Luke was she would of most likely fell to the dark side and killed Vader for revenge when Luke having his mothers heart would not and could not Leia during the movies was to emotionally compromised to become a Jedi she is very much like her father in that way love Star Wars hope yall watch the kenobi show Vader and obi interaction is the best part of that show
Palpatine is the devil, he fooled everyone using them as tools and bretrayed them. The stupid dude is Anakin.
This is my favorite of the prequels. And your reaction was great. 😃
I couldn't talk about this film after seeing it opening night. When Mace Windu was electrocuted and tossed, I yelled "F U Palpatine!" incredibly loudly, and the whole audience laughed.
Bro Sophia even understand the fan theories first watch?? She’s observant asf
told y’all you’d be crying by the end!!!!!!
Why would you cut out the entire Yoda Palpatine fight in the senate room? Dang....
Mair you did so good letting Sophie figuring out everything the first 5 movies. this one you was being Super Spoiler Man Leading her the whole movie. She was getting bro.
You was so quiet the first 5 movies, you talked so much this one.
Highly recommend the mandalorian series as the clone wars, bad batch and rebels are all long watches and dive deeper into the clone wars and since Sophie is new to star wars she can always come back to it as she has seen the larger story. The mandalorian is very refreshing and not as heavy to watch
Did you know: Star Wars canon has since added a new, even darker, dimension to order 66; it has revealed the clones were implanted with inhibitor chips that forced them to obey and betray their generals.
The emperor Darth sidious was very insidious
Their final reactions to the original 6 movies is why I prefer new people to do Machete order. The series wraps up like a funeral.
People who do a Machete order have a much difference experience with the whole trilogy.
Return of The Jedi and Revenge of the Sith mirror each other ALOT. It also RAISES the stakes of Luke in Return of the Jedi, because you see how so much of what does (and had done) mirrors Anakin's journey.
Story: 4,5
Flashback: 1,2,3,
Conclusion: 6
But for the reactors, this was a PHENOMENAL reaction. I know people HATE on the prequels for certain things, but it is UNDOUBTABLY Star Wars.
The Prequels actually inform you of what the actual stakes are in 4, 5, and 6. The audience only knows what Luke does in that point. However, the prequels give CONTEXT to things that you took for granted... ESPECIALLY in ESB (5)
For example: When Yoda tells Luke that he is "too old" you don't get the sense of how RIDICULOUSLY OLD he was. Anakin at the age of 9 was too old. So by Yoda training Luke he is taking a HUGE risk. Luke not only is old, but has HUGE attachments to his friends. And by the end of the movie, proves this is a problem and FAILS (by stopping his training and going after Han / Leia).
But again great reaction, and I encourage you to go back and rewatch Return of the Jedi. It will mean alot more to you now.
I don’t care what anyone says, this is my favorite Star Wars movie 🤘🏽 So damn quotable!
I always get teary watching this one
Anakin's actions are what killed Padme. She basically died of a "broken heart". The irony is that Anakin was "seeing" her death, but he caused it. His joining the Sith to "save" her was the very action that broke her. Paradox. Had he not done that, Padme would've never had to confront him about the truth. His killing the younglings and the "let's rule the galaxy together" was one of her greatest nightmares made true. Then him choking her out? What? That did it. Anakin laying hands on her? Unheard of in Padme's world with him. She literally and physically died after that, only staying long enough to birth her children. Even they weren't enough to keep her in a world where Anakin had done the most unforgiveable things.
Darth sidious was making him dream those dreams its in the book that is one of his powers gift
The truth of Anakin Skywalker he grew up a slave with his mom but did not have a father Anakin was made in his mothers womb by the midi-chlorians. To to clarify why the Jedi council did not want to train Aniken was because he was too old because generally when they knew about a force sensitive child, they would take them from the parents never to be seen by the parents. Also, the reasoning for the whole series was because of what had happened in episode one the Phantom Menace between the duel of Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, since Qui-Gon Jinn was killed Anakin did not have the love and care that a regular child should have, but especially it was vital becoming the Jedi he was supposed to become see the newer Jedi thought that becoming stoic and objective were the best options to becoming a Jedi, but in the clone wars series, if they weren’t, they would often deal with “bad people “and that’s what eventually turned count Dooku over to the dark side (Count Dooku was Quí-Gon Jinn‘s master). If Qui-Gon have lived through the duel of fates (Darth Maul vs Qui-Gon Jinn) things would have been different. Basically objective + negotiative = Jedi also led Anakin to the dark side. Qui-Gon Jinn alive + caring + loving = no Darth Vader
Grievous has the cough due to an injury he got in battle from Mace Windu in the clone wars animated series.
He started out as an organic being and was modified into a cyborg. He has a whole history with the Jedi and reason to hate them. See this link for his story. th-cam.com/video/Gf9J0GlPH6I/w-d-xo.html
Also the Sith have a rule of 2. In that rule the student is expected to grow powerful enough to kill the master. Then the new master takes an apprentice and expects the same betrayal some day. It allows the Sith keep getting stronger over time.
Okay Mair! Come on falsetto!!
No matter what the Jedi were doomed. Palpatine would have still killed alll the Jedi through order 66. Mace would not have known about Palpatine and would have gone into hiding like Yoda and Obi-Wan probably. Anakin was brainwashed from the age of ten by Palpatine to distrust the jedi through gradually more direct statements.
sophie really got sheeragon cause the way she got everything right is crazy
i love the new set
ps: 21:20 Grevious is a cyborg ,just like Darth Vader(half man-half machine). he probably started like Anakin as a human with just a fake robotic hand, then more of his body parts were lost during combat and replaced until he reached that awful state eventually .
Glad you got to see the Star Wars movies. Now you're done. There are no more star wars movies.
she makes me mad when she say being a Jedi you can’t have attachment but that’s physically impossible almost and there they send Anakin on a protection mission to protect Padme what did they think were going to happen Anakin and Padme are very good friends and could easily hook up neither the Jedi or the senate saw this coming people like Yoda can feel emotions and read minds yoda knew about Anakin and Padme but I did nothing to stop it 😂
