I like how often Dasha says "Oh, I see." It's like her catchphrase, and it's appropriate too. She's very perceptive especially for someone who seems so innocent.
Here is some trivia about the film: 1. When fully dressed and in make-up, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley resembled each other so much that even Knightley's mother, Sharman Macdonald, who visited the set, had trouble identifying her own daughter. 2. In the original Theatricle release version (and all versions up until the DVD release) Yoda was a puppet, just like how he appeared in Episodes 5 and 6. There were in fact tests to do him digitally and a digital version was used in one shot (a high crane shot where he promotes Obi-wan to Jedi Knight). It is only in all the releases since the DVD that he was replaced with a digital model.
Very FEW people, have a keen enough eye, to tell Knightley and Portman apart. I sure don't. It's not all that surprising, under all that make up, and they aren't speaking in their real voices. I'm always SUPER impressed with the people that catch that twist though. It took me decades, to find out Portman wasn't playing both roles. Also gotta love Lucas changing his movies, he couldn't wait to add more CGI, lol.
@@sfodd1979 I can barely see it now that I know there's a difference. No way I'd have caught it on my first watch. Other than maybe recognizing Natalie Portman as Padme. I watched phantom menace for the first time at like age 5, so I can't really test it objectively.
I've watched a few of Dasha's video now, and I'm impressed by her understanding and usage of english. And also she understands the concepts quickly watching a movie that isn't in her native language. And she really pays attention to the deatails going on in the movie to be fully immersed in it. Thats cool. And she got goosebumps the same time I did seeing R2 meet Threepio for the first time. And she immediately caught on the who Anakin was as soon as he introduced himself. That is a very clear indicator that she really pays attention to the movies and remembers the impactful characters. And Queen Amidala is also one of my favorite characters. Well done.
For me and a lot of fans who grew up with the original trilogy, the idea of the midichlorians was confusing to say the least. It was not needed in the original trilogy and makes me wonder if a blood transfusion and a little bit of practice could make anyone capable of moving things with their mind. But oh, well, it's there in the movies and became canon of the Star Wars Universe. More importantly, I love your reactions, keep them coming. Your sweet heart and all of you, make watching your reactions a very enjoyable experience.
Yeah Lucas could made Anakin work without that "EPO" bs. Movie is not phD dissertation. Or study in ge sequence. Agree. Originals just hinted mystery and special gifts via energy and cosmos. That was enough to get feel for that. Mysteriousness was big charm of force IMO.
Midichlorian's were just dumb, they were supposed to be a big part of the sequel trilogy, too. Snoozefest. Lucas had some good ideas and some bad ideas. My biggest criticism of his is he just didn't make movies. Some where good, some were okay (like Disney). At least Disney is using the IP.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 true, still better than the sequels tho. I think this was Lucas' way of "proving" the strength of the Skywalker bloodline, although it's pretty dumb.
Yoda: "Afraid to lose her, I think" Anakin: "Not really... I just won a huge pod race, and rather than use the cash prize to free my mom from slavery, I used it to buy a new ship engine for some guy I just met. Then I abandoned her and came here..."
Does the Tatooine tourism board just advertise come to our planet to stare wistfully into the double sunset while soaring music plays because every time they go to Tatooine someone does just that.
@@kenlangston3451 - Kenobi described Mos Eisley as, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy". But pretty much the entire planet is that way from what I've seen. Sandpeople try to kill you, Jawas steal all your shit. And the rest of the species that drift in and out of there, would just as soon kill you as look at you.
His mother wasn't part of his destiny and she didn't want him to grow up as a slave as she had. He didn't abandon her and he had to help his new friends because that the kind of person he was(shame he couldn't stay that way).
Dasha, your confusion about the source of the force was shared by a lot of fans. Many fans preferred that an explanation wasn't given so that the force remained mysterious and yes, "magic" as you say.
Its so nice to see someone just watch and enjoy the movie instead of bouncing their feelings off how others feel about it. Im liking this channel more and more
In 1978, I was working in a small printshop in Toronto, Canada. We were printing Star Wars colouring books for Children. Not only the original Episode 4, but also 1, 2, and 3. The first 3 episodes had already been written way back in the 1970s.
Midichlorians just feed off the force, and help you tap into it. That's to say, the stronger you are in the force, the more you'll have inside you. The force itself is still magic, midichlorians are basically just a way of ranking a Jedi's power level. They don't actually matter that much in the grand scheme of things.
Depends on if you go by the original canon or the new disney canon...well, actually in both you are wrong. In Original canon the Midichlorians are the physcial manifestation of the force, its the "living" force Qui-Gon mentions. It allows Jedi to communicate to the force, because they are its physical form. In Disney canon, anyone and their mother can become a Jedi if they learn about it and you can be born being able to do anything if you are powerful enough, a total oxymoron of itself.
I have always been so impressed that you can read and speak English so well !!!! never doubt yourself!! (Lets see Chris Tucker speak Russian and if not, you can say "...do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth??..." ) I noticed quickly that your not just a young pretty Russian girl doing reactions videos, but your very intuitive an smart and seam to figure out a lot of the move story plot lines that move hard core fans!!.. I could not move to Russia and pull off what you are doing, so Bravo to you!!! keep up the good work!!
Dasha if you like Star Wars you should definitely check out the Clone Wars animated series. It has some surprisingly rich storytelling and is for sure more than just a cartoon. I really enjoyed it.
There’s plenty of other star wars things to watch besides the movies, which you have 7 to see. The other two prequels, the sequel trilogy, Solo, and Rogue One Then there’s the shows. Clone Wars (2D style), Clone Wars (3D style), Rebels, Mandalorian, The Bad Batch
Don’t worry about midiclorians. They ’re a very minor plot point just to show how strong Anakin is with the force. Remember “there was no father, I can’t explain it.” It’ll tie in when you get to episode 3. Speaking of episode 3, make sure you have LOTS of tissues when you watch it.
13:05 "Children should be with their moms" Yes they should, and DAMN the Jedi for recruiting the way they do. A lot of individual Jedi are good and heroic people, but as an institution, the Jedi Order was kinda awful.
Hi Dasha. I love your reactions. If Qui-Gon getting killed made you cry, all I will say is get your tissues ready. Can't wait for Attack of the Clones. Keep up the awesome work. 👍
You’re one of the few people I’ve seen catch that it’s Obi Wan in the beginning That’s actually Darth Maul’s face. His skin is red, the black is tattoos Technically Anakin rebuilt 3PO. He found his parts. 3PO is a very old droid. Anakin is pretty much SW Jesus Did you see the other of Yoda’s species on the jedi council? It was a female. Her name is Yaddle A big thing in the prequels is showing the flaws of the jedi at the time, including a shift from focussing on the scientific rather than the spiritual, hence the importance of the midichlorians. Also arrogance. “I do not think the sith could’ve returned without us knowing.” The sith have been around longer than they think. I hope you got that midi-chlorians are _not_ the force itself. The force communicates with people through them I can’t tell if you realized but Darth Sidious is the Emperor from the original trilogy. He’s not the emperor at this time since the empire doesn’t exist yet
I think the main reason that people don't recognize the Emperor early is because they don't say his last name in the movies. If you have only seen the movies, you won't know his name is Palpatine, which is mentioned in other media. When I saw Darth Sidious for the first time, I knew the Senator Palpatine/Emperor connection, so I recognized him.
@@david2869 I think it's a failing of the movies here. People familiar with the spin off material like the RotJ novelisation know that Palpatine becomes the emperor, but if you don't know that, it's not at all clear and is left shaded. It's like the film is working with two different audiences and engages them differently. It feels awkward.
she will find out in her own time, quit telling her spoilers (aka the last line) Most of us knew right away but if they dont realize then DONT SPOILER IT... it will make for a better future reaction
Saw this in theaters when I was a kid, it was...underwhelming for the most part. Though it did get a lot more hate at the time than it deserved (and how people treated Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best was inexcusable). The lightsaber battle is arguably the best in the entire film franchise and the score is amazing (Duel of the Fates, yesss). The rest of the film is just...a bit annoying and somehow boring at the same time. At least in my opinion. But I don't begrudge anyone for enjoying TPM, it definitely did have some great moments.
This movie was too much flinging from one side to another. Episode IV has politics, but only a little. It has comedic relief in C-3PO, but only a little. In this movie, we have a huge political emphasis and another (not needed) comedic relief, too much, imo. I can stand behind the political emphasis, but Jar Jar was annoying. Very much.
@@IMFLordVader Yup Jar Jar was really bad. The pod racing battle took WAAAY too long too. Should have been about half that length. Then you can inject just a little more Darth Maul story so we can feel something instead of just a random bad guy they cut in half. Hell, I would've taken a little bit more Galactic Senate over that pod race.
"The easier it is...to interact with the force" is a great way of putting it. It leaves the possibility for people with lower counts to still develop their abilities through greater will and effort. I remember some people initially disliked the midi-chlorian concept because it seemed to make the Force open only to those born with "the right blood."
@@waterbeauty85 Ya, someone can be born with all of the talent in the world but if they choose to party, drink and do drugs then they will be surpassed by people with less natural ability that practice and work hard. I never minded them.
One of the best explanations about it I've heard thus far. It also explains how some people who do have a high count and do put in the work towards that control can make massive power jumps in short periods of time. Some people just have a natural knack for things.
@@Spidercat616 Kenobi has the lowest count out of all the jedi in the order and it is his ability to dive in and focus on practicing his skills and that's what made him a master.
Yeah well... Midi-Chlorians are a thing. Some (including me) still like to think they don't exist and Jedi are like superhuman people, It makes it feel more magical like you say.
Interesting fact, Morgan Freeman and Tom Hanks were considered for the role of Qi-Gon Jin. Just imagine Morgan Freeman explaining midiclorians in his famous voice. But the current actor was amazing and I do believe no one plays the role like he does.
Shields are suppossed to stop high velocity objects or laserbolts, but if you approach slowly you can cross it. Force fields are a different thing, you can't cross it unless is deactivated
In the Meta: There are TWO KINDS of shields in SW. This is why there are 2 shield domes visible on every star destroyer. Ray Shields stop energy attacks and can hold atmosphere pressure inside ships. Partical Shields stop all physical objects from passing while they are up. These are effective against fighters and missiles. Partical Shields were the first invented, to keep ships safe from meteoroids they might run into while traveling through space. Ray Shields came into.being later when laser weaponry became common. Ever see those scenes where fighters can dock in a larger starship's landing bay, while the atmosphere is still being held in the ship despite the open docking bay door? That's due to a Ray Shield being up that the fighter can pass right through. Speed has nothing to do with shields in the SW verse, that's entirely a Dune verse thing.
Great Video Dasha! I love how overjoyed you were to see R2-D2 and C-3PO again. Also nice to see your reaction to Anakin. I remember I felt the same way you did. I too wondered " What could have happened to this sweet little boy to turn him into DARTH VADER?!? Again, I enjoyed your video very much. Keep em coming.
I don’t want to sound like I’m making fun of you because I’m not, I think your English is amazing for a non-native speaker. But I thought it was so funny that it’s was obvious just reading the opening text crawl in this movie was harder for you. And it’s totally not your fault! The truth is it was hard for us English speakers to understand the first time we read it lol. The first three movies were written to be exciting and fast, talking about Rebellions and evil Empires, Death Stars and Jedi. On the other hand The Phantom Menace is talking about trade routes and taxation lol.
I always admire Darth Maul as a villain, I see him as a Dark creature who is the master of the dark side for an apprentice like himself who is loyal to his master and always answer to him no matter what.
Without the father figure that Qui-Gon was supposed to be, Obi-Wan reluctantly became his master due to his promise, and thus Anakin’s path to becoming Darth Vader has begun.
16:00 "Honestly, honestly, I thought that the Force and all that they have is, uh, is a pure magic, but apparently, it's more about, um, the _body_ cells." In 1977, when _Star Wars_ first came to theaters, the Jedi religion was loosely based on Taoism. Otherwise, they've added and removed parts pretty gingerly, as they've deemed necessary, to create tension within the plot.
Great reaction Dasha! Oh my friend…”Rouge One” and “The Mandalorian” are absolutely amazing and something you should definitely be excited about watching !!! The last trilogy and “Solo” that were made recently , I would consider fan fiction. Episode 2 is one of my favorite films in the Star Wars universe!
Fan fiction would imply fans made it, not greedy corporate types who tried to manipulate social movements to peddle half-assed poorly written and directed schlock. Fans may have been involved as extras, but you can't tell me they were involved in the actual production. I compare it to how the original Turtles TV show pissed on the original comics. OR making a PG rated Robocop... or an R rated Kite. Or making a Ghostbusters relaunch without understanding that the "straight dialogue" is what made the original funny. The people making these things don't care about the originals, and sure as the hell aren't fans.
@@jasonknight1085 I hear ya and totally understand where your coming from. The biggest mistake made there was letting Rian Johnson make whatever film he wanted with no regards to the outline created by J.J. Abrams for the trilogy. It had great potential if Abrams had helmed all 3. I think Kylo Ren was an excellent character…especially in the first film. But alas it wasn’t meant to be. Thank god for Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni though….true fans!
IMHO Solo is great, very flawed but best Disney Star Wars (Rogue One is good too). Comes closest to capturing the spirit of the OT. Sequels are terrible.
16:00 you where absolutely right, Yoda explaind in SW:V what the force was and how it worked. They retconned it for absolutely no reason. (But no fear, those "midichlorians" where never mentioned again in later Movies, because every Star Wars fan hated it. 😊 )
Not every Star Wars fan hated it, some of us actually thought they made sense. I've never understood why there was such an issue with the Force being explained that way. Bear in mind that by the time Today explained it to Luke, the knowledge of midichlorians along with pretty much all of the Jesus teachings and knowledge had long been forgotten or destroyed.
Glad to finally see a reactor catch there moment when Qui Gon addresses Obi Wan. Go Dasha! Yeah, that was our general reaction to midichorians as well. Prior to this the force WAS basically magic.
Dasha, I know you are watching the prequels, but when you finish, you must watch Rogue One because it ends precisely when episode 4 starts. If you don't watch Rogue One you will miss a lot. It explains how and who built the Death Star and why.
@@alaneskew2664 I agree with not watching the sequels, but IMO, Rogue One is the best written and best executed of all of the movies, but again, that's just my opinion.
Hey, Dasha! You picked out Obi-Wan right away! Good for you! A lot of reactors don't realize who Ewan McGregor is until halfway through the movie! You didn't notice the decoy swapping! 14-year-old Keira Knightley played the decoy Sabe! The decoy tactic was a security measure against the Trade Federation; Portman was herself when performing her duties but concealed herself whenever she was in transit and exposed. You also caught glimpses of the Emperor in his hooded Sith guise as Darth Sidious. However, this is the time of the Republic and he is operating in the shadows. Who is he unhooded? Lucas provides multiple visual and vocal cues as to who he is so let's see if you figure it out before the BIG REVEAL! The prequel films are overly reliant on CGI which forced the cast to work with green screen backgrounds resulting in somewhat stiff performances from otherwise highly accomplished actors like Liam Neeson, Sam Jackson and Natalie Portman. There is also a romantic element later on that strains credibility. However, Lucas had complete control of these films and there is an internal consistency and scale of ambition that the more recent Sequel trilogy lacks. Many who grew up with the Prequel trilogy love it as much, if not more, than the Classic trilogy. Judge for yourself. Jar Jar Binks is probably the most absurd character in all of Star Wars. He is universally reviled. Fortunately, you don't see much of him beyond this movie. The poor actor who played him, Ahmed Best, suffered such a professional and personal backlash for his portrayal, he became suicidally depressed. He has since made peace with his Star Wars past, thankfully. Jeez, what was George thinking? Jake Lloyd would certainly have appreciated your appraisal. He, too, was ridiculed for his performance as young Anakin and so badly bullied in school that he dropped out. He turned to drugs and has been in and out of trouble with the law his whole life! You wouldn't know it from the film but Anakin RESTORED a discarded C-3PO. He didn't actually create him. The two droids are meant to be the witnesses of the saga and appear in eleven of the twelve films. Lucas got the idea of servant witnesses from the Kurosawa samurai classic, "The Hidden Fortress". Anakin is the product of a virgin birth like the Christian Jesus. Shmi tells Qui-Gon she became pregnant without a lover. In truth, the Force itself -- the universe as it were -- created her son. Who knows? Lucas decided to get metaphysical. It's kinda like Nature restoring balance. It's also kinda weird. The Sith are Dark Side Force-users who are the ancient enemy of the Jedi. The Emperor and Vader were Sith. There were once legions of Sith but then a fellow named Darth Bane instituted the Rule of Two 1,000 years in the past. Since then, it's been a Master and an Apprentice jockeying for power and supplanting one another. Midichlorians are based on real-world mitochondria that exist symbiotically in all our cells with their own DNA. If you remember high school bio, they produce the energy that powers our cells. In Star Wars, they are microscopic organisms that exist symbiotically within all living beings. The greater the number, the more one's ability to tap into the Force. Lucas was just establishing a biological basis for his space magic. Some people hate the idea. I think it's cool. Jedi are trained as early as possible and removed from their families so they develop no attachments other than to the Jedi Order. Anakin already has emotional attachments which will cause him all kinds of trouble. The Jedi practice this to temper emotional outbursts and prevent any compromise to the psychically powerful adepts who constitute the Order. An uncontrolled rogue Jedi is like an ambulatory nuke! You probably wondered about the efficacy of the Gungan shields since the droid troops marched so easily through them! Shields have different properties in Star Wars. The Gungan shields are likely impervious to fast-moving objects or objects with a high energy yield such as cannon blasts but are completely permeable to slow-moving objects or objects with a low energy yield. Maul is the coolest villain. His species is called Zabrak. The red and black coloration are facial tattoos. Everyone's jaw dropped when they saw that double-sided lightsaber in the trailer! It's hard to kill a Sith, though; check out the animated "Clone Wars" for much more Maul! He impressively reappears in that series despite having been cut in half!
A lot of your surprises come down to a writing term called "retrowriting." Especially common in sci-fi, retrowriting is when the writers change things AFTER they have already been established, or simply re-envision.things differently later. "Metachlorians" was a retro-written explanation for the Force that Did Not Exist in the first trilogy. In the first trilogy the Force was mystical and spiritual, the way MANY fans think it should be. But for some reason Lucas decided to invent a more scientific explanation for the Force. Maybe he embraced a more atheist philosophy in those intervening years? Also C3P0 being built by Anakin was retrowriting. Also R2D2 being associated with Ben Kenobi was retrowriting. Remember in A New Hope Ben says "I don't recall ever owning a droid"? Little Alzheimer's, there , old man?
Darth Maul is a Zabrak, a near Human species who all have variations of horns on their head, native to the planet Iridonia. Maul however was born and raised on a planet named Dathomir. The Zabrak on Dathomir all live under the matriarchal rule of the Nightsisters, female dark side force users. All female born Dathomiri Zabrak are raised to become Nightsisters. However, the males are all separated and raised in packs to become strong warriors and are then either sold off to work as mercenaries, or if they are strong enough in the force, they will be trained to become Nightbrothers, some of the best assassins in the entire galaxy. Maul has been given to Darth Sidious while he was still a child, and Sidious raised him to become a living weapon. BTW the word Darth is a title given to Sith Lords, not a name.
force Sensitive children are taken from their parents when they are very young almost at birth... And they're raised by the Jedi ..They Start their teachings very early...
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." Remember that when you watch the next two movies. It's key to everything that unfolds---and there's much more Yoda in II and III.
At the risk of getting ahead of things, it would be awesome if you would consider doing The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Mandalorian after you complete the prequels.
you asked about the shields and how the droids got in. bascially the way they work is the stronger something is the more they resist it so weapons fireing bombs and laser blasts are strong so it hits them back with equal force and it can't penetrrate, they droids got in by going real slow for a second giving the shilds little resistance. btw. the pod race, my dad had told me it was very inspired by the chariot race in the 1960s movie Ben Hur. i had went to go watch it, it really does :) also, remember how yoda and ben told luke the force is strong in their family? this thing with the midicholorians sort of explains that to a degree i guess. the guy who plays darth maul (the apprentice to sidous, is ray park, he is a real martial artist and swordsmen which is partly why this looks so amazing. have you picked up on one thing so far? every star wars movie has the line somewhere "i have a bad feeling about this" oh. btw, remember back to Empire strikes back when chewie and c3po on his back, and chewie was throwing people around and one of the bouny hunters was ready to shoot him? but darth vader/ankin blockes the guy's arm . this make sme think he remembers building him and dind't want him destroyed.
You have a kind heart. Congratulations. Please react to these CLASSICS: "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial"(1982), "An American Tail"(1986) and "Babe"(1995). You will love them. Greetings from Arica, Chile
There are 9 episodes in this series. After episodes 1,2,3 there's the sequel trilogy.....7,8,9. Don't let anyone tell you not to watch them. Decide for yourself if you like them. I'm betting you will like it.
Are you crazy, those abominations are a permanent stain on the Star Wars legacy. And if she does watch them it should be explained to her by someone who is well verced in the lore as to how they mess things up.
Loved your reaction again!!! I think you will like episode #2 but you will LOVE episode #3 - make sure you bring your tissues for that one lol. Спасибо....покаааа. keep smiling 🤘 🙂
Great reaction from you,yes R2D2 is the real hero of this film series great to see Yoda he's one of my favourites as well and your right Jar Jar isn't very good to put it mindly.
Hi there new sub to your Chanel from England just thought I would say how much I enjoy your video's and are glad you are liking the star wars films they are one of my favourites
Anakin is a prophecy it was for told that he would come and bring balance to the force and in a way he does. They touch very little on it by saying he had no dad. He was born by the force. The clone wars tv series touches on it and anakin actually meets the good and evil side of the force in human form.
There’s an “Easter egg” at the end of episode 1 credits. As the music is ending, they added the sound of Darth Vader breathing, so you know he is coming. After episode 3, watch Rogue One. The end of Rogue One is technically where episode 4 (the 1977 movie) starts. Episodes 7, 8, and 9 close out the series. Hope you watch them too.
16:04 , yea a lot of people arent happy with this change. Before it was more about belief and goodness, then it was retconned to be what genetics you were born with (midichlorians) will decide how powerful you are with the force.
Not a spoiler, but speculation: In Episode 6 Luke suddenly has a green lightsaber. There's a deleted scene where he goes to Obi Wan's hut on Tatooine and builds it from parts he found there. But where did he get the green Kyber Crystal that would give his saber its green color? It's speculated that Obi-Wan kept Qui Gon's lightsaber, and Luke used the crystal and is carrying an important part of Qui Gon's saber in Return of the Jedi. I love this theory.
While the prequels weren't my favorites I realized I wasn't the target audience, these movies have always been made for kids that adults happen to like as well. Many adults positively hated the character of Jar Jar Binks but a lot of kids loved him because they thought he was funny so in that regard, they were a success. Whether you love or hate the original trilogy, the prequels, or the Disney trilogy, it's all good because people have that right and should never have to defend why they love or hate a franchise.
Turn on Subtitles... it makes some of the terminology a lot easier to sort out. Especially Jar Jar's dialogue. 4:01 - Yeah.... I had the same look on my face when I saw that underwater city on the big screen back in '99. =D
The idea with the lightsaber fights in the prequels is that this is fully trained jedi in there physical prime. In the original trilogy Obi-wan is an old man, Yoda is 900, Vader has suffered massive injuries requiring a life support suit that hinders his movement, and Luke was basically got the speed course in Jedi training.
Once you have watched all nine movies of the saga then you must watch the smaller stories such as the han solo story , Rogue One, star wars the clone wars (cartoon),stàr wars rebels cartoon, The mandalorian series on Disney+ then you will be a fully pledged star wars Fan
This goes to my hypothesis younger generations of people aren't hating this movie. I really like Phantom Menace but agree the Midichlorian criticism because well it can be used to explain why some people are force sensitive it doesn't explain everything about the force. And in a way the Midichlorians take away the fantasy that anyone can learn use the force, it loses some of the mysticism with it. I think Lucas put these in there to lay ground work to what would become of the Whills which would've been part of his sequel trilogy but that's a path we'll never know.
Dasha: "I have a bad feeling about this."
Me: "yes, you have truly arrived in the Star Wars Universe!"
The phrase heard throughout all 9 movies in the Star Wars Universe
All 11 movies.
@@snarflcat6187 right, I'd forgotten about "Solo" and "Rogue One"
I like how often Dasha says "Oh, I see." It's like her catchphrase, and it's appropriate too. She's very perceptive especially for someone who seems so innocent.
far from innocent.. Don't let her cuteness fool you....lol

Again and again, “R2D2 is the hero of the whole thing.”
This is the best Star Wars Ep. 1 reaction I’ve seen! Genuine and unspoiled. I’ll look forward to your next reaction with great interest!
Here is some trivia about the film:
1. When fully dressed and in make-up, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley resembled each other so much that even Knightley's mother, Sharman Macdonald, who visited the set, had trouble identifying her own daughter.
2. In the original Theatricle release version (and all versions up until the DVD release) Yoda was a puppet, just like how he appeared in Episodes 5 and 6. There were in fact tests to do him digitally and a digital version was used in one shot (a high crane shot where he promotes Obi-wan to Jedi Knight). It is only in all the releases since the DVD that he was replaced with a digital model.
Very FEW people, have a keen enough eye, to tell Knightley and Portman apart. I sure don't. It's not all that surprising, under all that make up, and they aren't speaking in their real voices. I'm always SUPER impressed with the people that catch that twist though. It took me decades, to find out Portman wasn't playing both roles. Also gotta love Lucas changing his movies, he couldn't wait to add more CGI, lol.
@@sfodd1979 I can barely see it now that I know there's a difference. No way I'd have caught it on my first watch. Other than maybe recognizing Natalie Portman as Padme. I watched phantom menace for the first time at like age 5, so I can't really test it objectively.
The LOOK on your face when the kid said ANAKIN, priceless. ;)
I've watched a few of Dasha's video now, and I'm impressed by her understanding and usage of english. And also she understands the concepts quickly watching a movie that isn't in her native language. And she really pays attention to the deatails going on in the movie to be fully immersed in it. Thats cool. And she got goosebumps the same time I did seeing R2 meet Threepio for the first time. And she immediately caught on the who Anakin was as soon as he introduced himself. That is a very clear indicator that she really pays attention to the movies and remembers the impactful characters. And Queen Amidala is also one of my favorite characters. Well done.
Oh how shocking, there exist non-native English speakers that are actually very proficient in the language. What sort of rock do you live under.
@@musical_lolu4811 yo that guy is studying her like shes some test subject lol
Thanks for the analysis Dr.Edmund Woo. Can't wait to see your fully published peer reviewed study.
Now THIS is pod racing!
Its very refreshing seeing someone's genuine reaction during their first time watching this movie after the years of hate these movies were getting.
For me and a lot of fans who grew up with the original trilogy, the idea of the midichlorians was confusing to say the least. It was not needed in the original trilogy and makes me wonder if a blood transfusion and a little bit of practice could make anyone capable of moving things with their mind. But oh, well, it's there in the movies and became canon of the Star Wars Universe.
More importantly, I love your reactions, keep them coming. Your sweet heart and all of you, make watching your reactions a very enjoyable experience.
Yeah Lucas could made Anakin work without that "EPO" bs. Movie is not phD dissertation. Or study in ge sequence. Agree. Originals just hinted mystery and special gifts via energy and cosmos. That was enough to get feel for that. Mysteriousness was big charm of force IMO.
Midichlorian's were just dumb, they were supposed to be a big part of the sequel trilogy, too. Snoozefest. Lucas had some good ideas and some bad ideas. My biggest criticism of his is he just didn't make movies. Some where good, some were okay (like Disney). At least Disney is using the IP.
@@alaneskew2664 You sound like you know more about that, than Mickey Mouse, guy.
@@alaneskew2664 Lucas made six movies in what? Four decades. That's ridiculous. All he was using the IP for was selling toys to kids.
I prefer to headcanon it as midichlorians are attracted to force-users, therefore they indicate the ability, but aren't the cause of it.
I love how the Russian reaction to "Midi-chlorians" is exactly the same as the American reaction, confusion.
Confusion & immense sadness that Lucas didn’t hire someone to help him with the story & dialogue..
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 true, still better than the sequels tho. I think this was Lucas' way of "proving" the strength of the Skywalker bloodline, although it's pretty dumb.
I personally prefer the magic of the Force rather than having a biological science explanation
Midichlorians are genius. It’s been proven it’s real. Lucas is either oblivious to his own genius or he’s an alien. Look up Candidatus Midichloria
Actually some of us Americans felt they made sense.
Yoda: "Afraid to lose her, I think"
Anakin: "Not really... I just won a huge pod race, and rather than use the cash prize to free my mom from slavery, I used it to buy a new ship engine for some guy I just met. Then I abandoned her and came here..."
It was the sand. The boy just really hated sand. 😉
Does the Tatooine tourism board just advertise come to our planet to stare wistfully into the double sunset while soaring music plays because every time they go to Tatooine someone does just that.
@@kenlangston3451 - Kenobi described Mos Eisley as, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy". But pretty much the entire planet is that way from what I've seen. Sandpeople try to kill you, Jawas steal all your shit. And the rest of the species that drift in and out of there, would just as soon kill you as look at you.
He didnt buy a ship part for anyone, the ship part was part of the bet along with freeing Anakin. Anakin gave the money to his mother.
His mother wasn't part of his destiny and she didn't want him to grow up as a slave as she had. He didn't abandon her and he had to help his new friends because that the kind of person he was(shame he couldn't stay that way).
Dasha, your confusion about the source of the force was shared by a lot of fans. Many fans preferred that an explanation wasn't given so that the force remained mysterious and yes, "magic" as you say.
Its so nice to see someone just watch and enjoy the movie instead of bouncing their feelings off how others feel about it. Im liking this channel more and more
In 1978, I was working in a small printshop in Toronto, Canada. We were printing Star Wars colouring books for Children. Not only the original Episode 4, but also 1, 2, and 3. The first 3 episodes had already been written way back in the 1970s.
fun fact: the dress and hairstyle of Amidala is actually based on traditional mongolian highstatus women hair and gown
The music played in the parade at the end is a happy, faster version of The Emperor’s slow, sinister theme in Return of the Jedi.
Dasha has the best takes on Star Wars. I love it.
Midichlorians just feed off the force, and help you tap into it. That's to say, the stronger you are in the force, the more you'll have inside you. The force itself is still magic, midichlorians are basically just a way of ranking a Jedi's power level. They don't actually matter that much in the grand scheme of things.
I agree to assume that as well.
Depends on if you go by the original canon or the new disney canon...well, actually in both you are wrong.
In Original canon the Midichlorians are the physcial manifestation of the force, its the "living" force Qui-Gon mentions. It allows Jedi to communicate to the force, because they are its physical form.
In Disney canon, anyone and their mother can become a Jedi if they learn about it and you can be born being able to do anything if you are powerful enough, a total oxymoron of itself.
I have always been so impressed that you can read and speak English so well !!!! never doubt yourself!! (Lets see Chris Tucker speak Russian and if not, you can say "...do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth??..." ) I noticed quickly that your not just a young pretty Russian girl doing reactions videos, but your very intuitive an smart and seam to figure out a lot of the move story plot lines that move hard core fans!!.. I could not move to Russia and pull off what you are doing, so Bravo to you!!! keep up the good work!!
Dasha if you like Star Wars you should definitely check out the Clone Wars animated series. It has some surprisingly rich storytelling and is for sure more than just a cartoon. I really enjoyed it.
Liking the video before I even watch it, your reactions are the best. 😊
There’s plenty of other star wars things to watch besides the movies, which you have 7 to see. The other two prequels, the sequel trilogy, Solo, and Rogue One
Then there’s the shows. Clone Wars (2D style), Clone Wars (3D style), Rebels, Mandalorian, The Bad Batch
Awesome reaction! I loved when you saw R2-D2. I've learned to like this movie more and more over the years.
That’s odd. Every time I see it, I’m left depressed, thinking of what might have been..
Hey I love your reactions. You are very genuine. Keep up the good work 😉
Don’t worry about midiclorians. They ’re a very minor plot point just to show how strong Anakin is with the force.
Remember “there was no father, I can’t explain it.” It’ll tie in when you get to episode 3.
Speaking of episode 3, make sure you have LOTS of tissues when you watch it.
The sad downfall of the SWU begins...
Anakin was conceived by the force.
@@JechtTheLegend Anakin having no father is like a Jesus and Virgin Mary thing
13:05 "Children should be with their moms"
Yes they should, and DAMN the Jedi for recruiting the way they do. A lot of individual Jedi are good and heroic people, but as an institution, the Jedi Order was kinda awful.
Hi Dasha. I love your reactions. If Qui-Gon getting killed made you cry, all I will say is get your tissues ready. Can't wait for Attack of the Clones. Keep up the awesome work. 👍
You’re one of the few people I’ve seen catch that it’s Obi Wan in the beginning
That’s actually Darth Maul’s face. His skin is red, the black is tattoos
Technically Anakin rebuilt 3PO. He found his parts. 3PO is a very old droid.
Anakin is pretty much SW Jesus
Did you see the other of Yoda’s species on the jedi council? It was a female. Her name is Yaddle
A big thing in the prequels is showing the flaws of the jedi at the time, including a shift from focussing on the scientific rather than the spiritual, hence the importance of the midichlorians. Also arrogance. “I do not think the sith could’ve returned without us knowing.” The sith have been around longer than they think.
I hope you got that midi-chlorians are _not_ the force itself. The force communicates with people through them
I can’t tell if you realized but Darth Sidious is the Emperor from the original trilogy. He’s not the emperor at this time since the empire doesn’t exist yet
I think the main reason that people don't recognize the Emperor early is because they don't say his last name in the movies. If you have only seen the movies, you won't know his name is Palpatine, which is mentioned in other media. When I saw Darth Sidious for the first time, I knew the Senator Palpatine/Emperor connection, so I recognized him.
@@david2869 I think it's a failing of the movies here. People familiar with the spin off material like the RotJ novelisation know that Palpatine becomes the emperor, but if you don't know that, it's not at all clear and is left shaded. It's like the film is working with two different audiences and engages them differently. It feels awkward.
The failure to hear Obi-wan's name is a recurring irritation with reactors. Glad she was paying attention. She's definitely perceptive.
she will find out in her own time, quit telling her spoilers (aka the last line) Most of us knew right away but if they dont realize then DONT SPOILER IT... it will make for a better future reaction
@@Deadganon that’s not really a spoiler. Visually it’s pretty clear. And he’s played by the same actor
Saw this in theaters when I was a kid, it was...underwhelming for the most part. Though it did get a lot more hate at the time than it deserved (and how people treated Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best was inexcusable). The lightsaber battle is arguably the best in the entire film franchise and the score is amazing (Duel of the Fates, yesss). The rest of the film is just...a bit annoying and somehow boring at the same time. At least in my opinion. But I don't begrudge anyone for enjoying TPM, it definitely did have some great moments.
You summed it up perfectly.
This movie was too much flinging from one side to another. Episode IV has politics, but only a little. It has comedic relief in C-3PO, but only a little. In this movie, we have a huge political emphasis and another (not needed) comedic relief, too much, imo. I can stand behind the political emphasis, but Jar Jar was annoying. Very much.
Jar Jar was and is a big mistake
@@IMFLordVader Yup Jar Jar was really bad. The pod racing battle took WAAAY too long too. Should have been about half that length. Then you can inject just a little more Darth Maul story so we can feel something instead of just a random bad guy they cut in half. Hell, I would've taken a little bit more Galactic Senate over that pod race.
I saw it as a kid at the theaters and freaking loved it. Still do.
I love the pod racing scenes! I don’t know why, reminds me of the PlayStation 2 Game I used to play maybe?
The sound design was fantastic!
I loved that game! Happy memories😀
Jedi power battles on dreamcast! One the best star wars games ever.
The more midichlorians in someones body, the easier it is for that person to interact with the force.
"The easier it is...to interact with the force" is a great way of putting it. It leaves the possibility for people with lower counts to still develop their abilities through greater will and effort. I remember some people initially disliked the midi-chlorian concept because it seemed to make the Force open only to those born with "the right blood."
@@waterbeauty85 Ya, someone can be born with all of the talent in the world but if they choose to party, drink and do drugs then they will be surpassed by people with less natural ability that practice and work hard.
I never minded them.
One of the best explanations about it I've heard thus far. It also explains how some people who do have a high count and do put in the work towards that control can make massive power jumps in short periods of time. Some people just have a natural knack for things.
True - I believe Kenobi actually has a low count but excelled thanks to practice
@@Spidercat616 Kenobi has the lowest count out of all the jedi in the order and it is his ability to dive in and focus on practicing his skills and that's what made him a master.
Yeah well... Midi-Chlorians are a thing. Some (including me) still like to think they don't exist and Jedi are like superhuman people, It makes it feel more magical like you say.
I've never understood why people had an issue with them to begin with. They made sense and an explanation for how force sensitivity worked was needed.
“He’s such an adorable kid you know” Yep, and that adorable kid grew up to be the most feared Sith Lord in the galaxy!
Great video react, can’t wait for the next! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 👋🏻
Interesting fact, Morgan Freeman and Tom Hanks were considered for the role of Qi-Gon Jin. Just imagine Morgan Freeman explaining midiclorians in his famous voice.
But the current actor was amazing and I do believe no one plays the role like he does.
Vin Diesel was also considered to play Qui-Gon Jin, but he couldn’t make it after committing to his role as The Iron Giant
Shields are suppossed to stop high velocity objects or laserbolts, but if you approach slowly you can cross it. Force fields are a different thing, you can't cross it unless is deactivated
In the Meta:
There are TWO KINDS of shields in SW. This is why there are 2 shield domes visible on every star destroyer.
Ray Shields stop energy attacks and can hold atmosphere pressure inside ships.
Partical Shields stop all physical objects from passing while they are up. These are effective against fighters and missiles.
Partical Shields were the first invented, to keep ships safe from meteoroids they might run into while traveling through space.
Ray Shields came into.being later when laser weaponry became common.
Ever see those scenes where fighters can dock in a larger starship's landing bay, while the atmosphere is still being held in the ship despite the open docking bay door? That's due to a Ray Shield being up that the fighter can pass right through.
Speed has nothing to do with shields in the SW verse, that's entirely a Dune verse thing.
I love how you are getting to know the Star Wars Universe
Penny: "Yeah. Jar Jar is _really_ dumb."
Rajesh: "Hey. _We_ can say it. _You_ can't."
Your reaction to hearing Anakin for the first time was priceless
Great Video Dasha! I love how overjoyed you were to see R2-D2 and C-3PO again. Also nice to see your reaction to Anakin. I remember I felt the same way you did. I too wondered " What could have happened to this sweet little boy to turn him into DARTH VADER?!? Again, I enjoyed your video very much. Keep em coming.
I am so happy your watching the prequals!!! 2 more to go sister!! Excited to see your reaction to the next two as things heat up!!
I don’t want to sound like I’m making fun of you because I’m not, I think your English is amazing for a non-native speaker. But I thought it was so funny that it’s was obvious just reading the opening text crawl in this movie was harder for you. And it’s totally not your fault! The truth is it was hard for us English speakers to understand the first time we read it lol. The first three movies were written to be exciting and fast, talking about Rebellions and evil Empires, Death Stars and Jedi. On the other hand The Phantom Menace is talking about trade routes and taxation lol.
13:50 "Oh. He's on their side."
Dasha, I'm pleased to hear you reach that conclusion so early on. I mean it's true, but it took me a lot longer.
I always admire Darth Maul as a villain, I see him as a Dark creature who is the master of the dark side for an apprentice like himself who is loyal to his master and always answer to him no matter what.
Anakin Skywalker has THE BEST LINES in this series.
Best Mutton '90's Chop/Sideburns belongs to Yoda.
Without the father figure that Qui-Gon was supposed to be, Obi-Wan reluctantly became his master due to his promise, and thus Anakin’s path to becoming Darth Vader has begun.
"I have failed you, Anakin. I have failed you."
I would love to see a what if scenario where Anakin wasn't clouded by his emotions and had thought with his head instead of heart.
'What do you mean, 'I'm NACKED !!'" best line in the film..
7:37 That adorable laugh. 😅💓
16:00 "Honestly, honestly, I thought that the Force and all that they have is, uh, is a pure magic, but apparently, it's more about, um, the _body_ cells."
In 1977, when _Star Wars_ first came to theaters, the Jedi religion was loosely based on Taoism. Otherwise, they've added and removed parts pretty gingerly, as they've deemed necessary, to create tension within the plot.
Great reaction Dasha! Oh my friend…”Rouge One” and “The Mandalorian” are absolutely amazing and something you should definitely be excited about watching !!! The last trilogy and “Solo” that were made recently , I would consider fan fiction. Episode 2 is one of my favorite films in the Star Wars universe!
Fan fiction would imply fans made it, not greedy corporate types who tried to manipulate social movements to peddle half-assed poorly written and directed schlock. Fans may have been involved as extras, but you can't tell me they were involved in the actual production.
I compare it to how the original Turtles TV show pissed on the original comics. OR making a PG rated Robocop... or an R rated Kite. Or making a Ghostbusters relaunch without understanding that the "straight dialogue" is what made the original funny. The people making these things don't care about the originals, and sure as the hell aren't fans.
@@jasonknight1085 I hear ya and totally understand where your coming from. The biggest mistake made there was letting Rian Johnson make whatever film he wanted with no regards to the outline created by J.J. Abrams for the trilogy. It had great potential if Abrams had helmed all 3. I think Kylo Ren was an excellent character…especially in the first film. But alas it wasn’t meant to be. Thank god for Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni though….true fans!
IMHO Solo is great, very flawed but best Disney Star Wars (Rogue One is good too). Comes closest to capturing the spirit of the OT. Sequels are terrible.
Dasha: What's a midichlorian?
Me": Ohhhh boy.
It's not a visual after credits scene, but as they are finishing you can hear Darth Vader's breathing
16:00 you where absolutely right, Yoda explaind in SW:V what the force was and how it worked.
They retconned it for absolutely no reason.
(But no fear, those "midichlorians" where never mentioned again in later Movies, because every Star Wars fan hated it. 😊 )
Not every Star Wars fan hated it, some of us actually thought they made sense. I've never understood why there was such an issue with the Force being explained that way. Bear in mind that by the time Today explained it to Luke, the knowledge of midichlorians along with pretty much all of the Jesus teachings and knowledge had long been forgotten or destroyed.
Glad to finally see a reactor catch there moment when Qui Gon addresses Obi Wan. Go Dasha!
Yeah, that was our general reaction to midichorians as well. Prior to this the force WAS basically magic.
Dasha, I know you are watching the prequels, but when you finish, you must watch Rogue One because it ends precisely when episode 4 starts. If you don't watch Rogue One you will miss a lot. It explains how and who built the Death Star and why.
@@alaneskew2664 I agree with not watching the sequels, but IMO, Rogue One is the best written and best executed of all of the movies, but again, that's just my opinion.
Hey, Dasha! You picked out Obi-Wan right away! Good for you! A lot of reactors don't realize who Ewan McGregor is until halfway through the movie! You didn't notice the decoy swapping! 14-year-old Keira Knightley played the decoy Sabe! The decoy tactic was a security measure against the Trade Federation; Portman was herself when performing her duties but concealed herself whenever she was in transit and exposed. You also caught glimpses of the Emperor in his hooded Sith guise as Darth Sidious. However, this is the time of the Republic and he is operating in the shadows. Who is he unhooded? Lucas provides multiple visual and vocal cues as to who he is so let's see if you figure it out before the BIG REVEAL!
The prequel films are overly reliant on CGI which forced the cast to work with green screen backgrounds resulting in somewhat stiff performances from otherwise highly accomplished actors like Liam Neeson, Sam Jackson and Natalie Portman. There is also a romantic element later on that strains credibility. However, Lucas had complete control of these films and there is an internal consistency and scale of ambition that the more recent Sequel trilogy lacks. Many who grew up with the Prequel trilogy love it as much, if not more, than the Classic trilogy. Judge for yourself.
Jar Jar Binks is probably the most absurd character in all of Star Wars. He is universally reviled. Fortunately, you don't see much of him beyond this movie. The poor actor who played him, Ahmed Best, suffered such a professional and personal backlash for his portrayal, he became suicidally depressed. He has since made peace with his Star Wars past, thankfully. Jeez, what was George thinking?
Jake Lloyd would certainly have appreciated your appraisal. He, too, was ridiculed for his performance as young Anakin and so badly bullied in school that he dropped out. He turned to drugs and has been in and out of trouble with the law his whole life!
You wouldn't know it from the film but Anakin RESTORED a discarded C-3PO. He didn't actually create him. The two droids are meant to be the witnesses of the saga and appear in eleven of the twelve films. Lucas got the idea of servant witnesses from the Kurosawa samurai classic, "The Hidden Fortress".
Anakin is the product of a virgin birth like the Christian Jesus. Shmi tells Qui-Gon she became pregnant without a lover. In truth, the Force itself -- the universe as it were -- created her son. Who knows? Lucas decided to get metaphysical. It's kinda like Nature restoring balance. It's also kinda weird.
The Sith are Dark Side Force-users who are the ancient enemy of the Jedi. The Emperor and Vader were Sith. There were once legions of Sith but then a fellow named Darth Bane instituted the Rule of Two 1,000 years in the past. Since then, it's been a Master and an Apprentice jockeying for power and supplanting one another.
Midichlorians are based on real-world mitochondria that exist symbiotically in all our cells with their own DNA. If you remember high school bio, they produce the energy that powers our cells. In Star Wars, they are microscopic organisms that exist symbiotically within all living beings. The greater the number, the more one's ability to tap into the Force. Lucas was just establishing a biological basis for his space magic. Some people hate the idea. I think it's cool.
Jedi are trained as early as possible and removed from their families so they develop no attachments other than to the Jedi Order. Anakin already has emotional attachments which will cause him all kinds of trouble. The Jedi practice this to temper emotional outbursts and prevent any compromise to the psychically powerful adepts who constitute the Order. An uncontrolled rogue Jedi is like an ambulatory nuke!
You probably wondered about the efficacy of the Gungan shields since the droid troops marched so easily through them! Shields have different properties in Star Wars. The Gungan shields are likely impervious to fast-moving objects or objects with a high energy yield such as cannon blasts but are completely permeable to slow-moving objects or objects with a low energy yield.
Maul is the coolest villain. His species is called Zabrak. The red and black coloration are facial tattoos. Everyone's jaw dropped when they saw that double-sided lightsaber in the trailer! It's hard to kill a Sith, though; check out the animated "Clone Wars" for much more Maul! He impressively reappears in that series despite having been cut in half!
You’ll love episode II and episode III have your tissues ready Dasha.
A lot of your surprises come down to a writing term called "retrowriting."
Especially common in sci-fi, retrowriting is when the writers change things AFTER they have already been established, or simply re-envision.things differently later.
"Metachlorians" was a retro-written explanation for the Force that Did Not Exist in the first trilogy. In the first trilogy the Force was mystical and spiritual, the way MANY fans think it should be.
But for some reason Lucas decided to invent a more scientific explanation for the Force.
Maybe he embraced a more atheist philosophy in those intervening years?
Also C3P0 being built by Anakin was retrowriting.
Also R2D2 being associated with Ben Kenobi was retrowriting. Remember in A New Hope Ben says "I don't recall ever owning a droid"?
Little Alzheimer's, there , old man?
Loved your reaction to this movie. It has my favorite character in it, Maul, even though he gets chopped in half, but still good fight scene.
One of the best fights ever filmed.
"I thought the force was a pure magic." Welcome to the retcon.
Darth Maul is a Zabrak, a near Human species who all have variations of horns on their head, native to the planet Iridonia. Maul however was born and raised on a planet named Dathomir. The Zabrak on Dathomir all live under the matriarchal rule of the Nightsisters, female dark side force users. All female born Dathomiri Zabrak are raised to become Nightsisters. However, the males are all separated and raised in packs to become strong warriors and are then either sold off to work as mercenaries, or if they are strong enough in the force, they will be trained to become Nightbrothers, some of the best assassins in the entire galaxy. Maul has been given to Darth Sidious while he was still a child, and Sidious raised him to become a living weapon. BTW the word Darth is a title given to Sith Lords, not a name.
Woooow...so you've _never been with a lady,_ have you?
I just took a look at your channel. Go find someone else to troll you MAGA moron, or I'll report you to my reptilian overlords.
force Sensitive children are taken from their parents when they are very young almost at birth... And they're raised by the Jedi ..They Start their teachings very early...
Yes, that's Anakin Skywalker as a young boy. We meet him in the first movie here as a young boy.
Oh God Episode 3 is going to break you. It's definitely the darkest and most emotional Star Wars ever made.
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." Remember that when you watch the next two movies. It's key to everything that unfolds---and there's much more Yoda in II and III.
Especially from the original trilogy, Vader is the example of the suffering of Anakin.
At the risk of getting ahead of things, it would be awesome if you would consider doing The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Mandalorian after you complete the prequels.
She would really enjoy those.
you asked about the shields and how the droids got in. bascially the way they work is the stronger something is the more they resist it so weapons fireing bombs and laser blasts are strong so it hits them back with equal force and it can't penetrrate, they droids got in by going real slow for a second giving the shilds little resistance.
btw. the pod race, my dad had told me it was very inspired by the chariot race in the 1960s movie Ben Hur. i had went to go watch it, it really does :)
also, remember how yoda and ben told luke the force is strong in their family? this thing with the midicholorians sort of explains that to a degree i guess.
the guy who plays darth maul (the apprentice to sidous, is ray park, he is a real martial artist and swordsmen which is partly why this looks so amazing.
have you picked up on one thing so far?
every star wars movie has the line somewhere "i have a bad feeling about this"
oh. btw, remember back to Empire strikes back when chewie and c3po on his back, and chewie was throwing people around and one of the bouny hunters was ready to shoot him? but darth vader/ankin blockes the guy's arm . this make sme think he remembers building him and dind't want him destroyed.
You have a kind heart. Congratulations. Please react to these CLASSICS: "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial"(1982), "An American Tail"(1986) and "Babe"(1995). You will love them. Greetings from Arica, Chile
Oh, good shout for An American Tail. I'd be very curious to see how a Russian reacts to that movie.
There are 9 episodes in this series. After episodes 1,2,3 there's the sequel trilogy.....7,8,9. Don't let anyone tell you not to watch them. Decide for yourself if you like them. I'm betting you will like it.
Even a “bad” Star Wars movie is better than 70% of all movies. Lol
Are you crazy, those abominations are a permanent stain on the Star Wars legacy. And if she does watch them it should be explained to her by someone who is well verced in the lore as to how they mess things up.
I saw a few reactions and i think you have the best reactions i can clearly see that you get the whole story and feel it
Loved your reaction again!!! I think you will like episode #2 but you will LOVE episode #3 - make sure you bring your tissues for that one lol. Спасибо....покаааа. keep smiling 🤘 🙂
Great reaction from you,yes R2D2 is the real hero of this film series great to see Yoda he's one of my favourites as well and your right Jar Jar isn't very good to put it mindly.
Your reactions always make my day
Anakin is an insane spaceship pilot.
The midochlorian thing was extremely controversial when this movie came out.
I recommend the show the Mandalorian you would absolutely fall in love with baby Yoda
Anyone noticed what she says at about 17:21? 😅 Star Wars took control of Dasha
Hi there new sub to your Chanel from England just thought I would say how much I enjoy your video's and are glad you are liking the star wars films they are one of my favourites
Yup, great reaction Dasha!
Anakin is a prophecy it was for told that he would come and bring balance to the force and in a way he does. They touch very little on it by saying he had no dad. He was born by the force. The clone wars tv series touches on it and anakin actually meets the good and evil side of the force in human form.
There’s an “Easter egg” at the end of episode 1 credits. As the music is ending, they added the sound of Darth Vader breathing, so you know he is coming.
After episode 3, watch Rogue One. The end of Rogue One is technically where episode 4 (the 1977 movie) starts.
Episodes 7, 8, and 9 close out the series. Hope you watch them too.
Yeah I can't wait to watch you watch the mandalorian in due time
You're not the only one who can't understand half of what the Gungan characters say, I have trouble...and I'm English!
16:04 , yea a lot of people arent happy with this change.
Before it was more about belief and goodness, then it was retconned to be what genetics you were born with (midichlorians) will decide how powerful you are with the force.
If you like racing video games they made one based on pod racing. It's old, N64 old, but it's one of my favorite racing games.
11:31 My god, for a second I thought that was anakin 😆😆😆
Not a spoiler, but speculation: In Episode 6 Luke suddenly has a green lightsaber. There's a deleted scene where he goes to Obi Wan's hut on Tatooine and builds it from parts he found there. But where did he get the green Kyber Crystal that would give his saber its green color? It's speculated that Obi-Wan kept Qui Gon's lightsaber, and Luke used the crystal and is carrying an important part of Qui Gon's saber in Return of the Jedi. I love this theory.
in A weird way 3P0 is kind of Luke and Lisa's older brother.
Midecrorians are what give the Jedi their powers
You totally understand George Lucas’ vision. Great video! 🙌
While the prequels weren't my favorites I realized I wasn't the target audience, these movies have always been made for kids that adults happen to like as well. Many adults positively hated the character of Jar Jar Binks but a lot of kids loved him because they thought he was funny so in that regard, they were a success. Whether you love or hate the original trilogy, the prequels, or the Disney trilogy, it's all good because people have that right and should never have to defend why they love or hate a franchise.
Turn on Subtitles... it makes some of the terminology a lot easier to sort out. Especially Jar Jar's dialogue.
4:01 - Yeah.... I had the same look on my face when I saw that underwater city on the big screen back in '99. =D
Another cool fact darth maul survived the fall. And he comes back later in a tv series and fights Asoka and Vader 1v1v1
Excellent, a 22 year old film that changed the way we watched movie today ;)
Darth Maul is a Zabrak, hence the horns. Some of his face is tattooed as a symbol of his dedication to the Sith.
The idea with the lightsaber fights in the prequels is that this is fully trained jedi in there physical prime. In the original trilogy Obi-wan is an old man, Yoda is 900, Vader has suffered massive injuries requiring a life support suit that hinders his movement, and Luke was basically got the speed course in Jedi training.
Once you have watched all nine movies of the saga then you must watch the smaller stories such as the han solo story , Rogue One, star wars the clone wars (cartoon),stàr wars rebels cartoon, The mandalorian series on Disney+ then you will be a fully pledged star wars Fan
This goes to my hypothesis younger generations of people aren't hating this movie. I really like Phantom Menace but agree the Midichlorian criticism because well it can be used to explain why some people are force sensitive it doesn't explain everything about the force. And in a way the Midichlorians take away the fantasy that anyone can learn use the force, it loses some of the mysticism with it. I think Lucas put these in there to lay ground work to what would become of the Whills which would've been part of his sequel trilogy but that's a path we'll never know.
