Don't get too wrapped up in looking for the One Thing that turns Anakin. It's alot of things through his life. So look more at all the little events that contribute.
Yeah good advice mate, I'll try and enjoy it all 👍
Thanks for the comment
Such a good piece of advice. So many people miss all the little things that contribute because they're looking for that "One Thing."
@@WhatKindOfNameNow deffo mate 👍
Completely agree everyone looks at the biggest part focused on near the end and I’m like that’s not it. It’s everything that lead to that, everything surrounding it, from Episode I-III. A lot you can infer as well.
@@ProJatior yeah deffo mate
You can see that Anakin was a very kind, loving child. I think that that is what Luke felt in him and why he knew he could turn him back
Yeah, it's just such a shame that he turns to the dark side. I'm guessing something really bad is going to happen in the next movie
Anakin's strength as a jedi was his compassion and how much he cared for others. It was also his downfall and ultimately what led him to become Vader. That was still there as Vader, and knowing his son was there and said there was still good in him (like Padme said too in episode 3) that sort of flipped a switch in him
The musical track accompanying that final lightsaber battle was called the Duel of the Fates. It’s been explained by Dave Filoni, Lucasfilm producer, that the “fate” of the boy rested in that fight. Qui-Gon was to be the father figure that was missing, and due to his death, Obi-Wan was reluctantly tasked to train him to the promise he kept to his master. Thus, the fate of Anakin was altered and started his path to becoming Darth Vader.
Ahh yeah that's a great point. Qui-Gon would have definitely treated him like a son and that death is a huge turning point.
Really interested in seeing the transformation
@@SofaandChill For the FULL transformation -- and it's up to you if you want to react to it -- you should watch the Clone Wars animated series between Episodes 2 and 3. The show IS canon, and after the second season becomes some of the best Star Wars content available.
If you do decide to watch the show, I recommend watching it in the chronological order listed on the official Star Wars website, and don't watch the final four episodes until after watching Episode 3. If you decide to react to it, I recommend grouping story arcs into a single reaction video.
The animated shows -- Clone Wars, The Bad Batch (which is still ongoing, they're producing season 2 now), Rebels -- set up a LOT of content that shows up after the original movie series (episodes 4-6 and 1-3) finished up. There's also upcoming live action shows for Disney+ that will feature live action versions of a number of characters that previously only showed up in those animated shows.
That is one of my favorite musical pieces in cinematic history. Positively iconically epic! ⚡️☀️🔥✨⭐️💫💥🌟
Playing the queen's bodyguard was Kiera Knightly first movie role. I think she and the queen speak in that monotone so that it is harder for others to tell them apart.
Ahh I wondered why I recognised her. Thank you for that 😃
This wasn't actually her first role, though it was the role that pushed her to stardom. In 1995, she was in a movie called innocent lies. She also did some tv work too.
Your genuine reaction at anakin's reveal was amazing!
Thank you my friend! was an amazing moment
36:25 The thing is, the Jedi Council kind of made a Self-fullfilling Prophecy regarding Anakin. Notice how Yoda explains to Anakin, that " *Fear* is the path to the Dark side"? Yet, when discussing Obi-Wan taking on Anakin as an apprentice, he says "Grave danger I *fear* in training him"? Yoda, and the Jedi Council at large are acting like hypocrites, and this is not the only instance through-out the trilogy. By continually showing distrust towards him, they gave no reason to Anakin to trust them. Which was exploited by Palpatine quite brilliantly.
Yeah he did use the Jedi council by making them out to be hypocrites. Always playing to his ego and then telling him he could learn how to cheat death. The one thing Anakin always wanted, he even said it to Padme
@@SofaandChill another thing is how the Jedi order fear the dark side, but yet fear leads to the dark side
@@SofaandChill Yeh but they played into SIdious' hands by actually being hypocrites. You can look at EU stuff that goes back to the ancient Jedaii and the Jedi majorly lost their balance in the force by fearing the dark side and completely denying it. The ancient ones balanced light and dark within jedi and if one got too much of one side or the other they had to do work to rebalance.
This point regarding the Jedi Order is something to keep in mind when rewatching the Sequels (especially The Last Jedi)
@@rayg2724 No, no, no! Don't even go there! The rehash-trilogy, and especially TLJ lacked any sence of the nuance, that made this plotline work in the prequels.
Luke's entire rant is way off the mark. Yes, the Jedi Order was flawed and lost it's way. No they did not "allow Palpatine to amass power". That was the Galactic Senate, which the Jedi chose to subject themselves to, precisely because they did not want to become the sole authority in the Galaxy.
When it comes to Midi-chlorians, I believe that the higher amount of them you have, the more powerful you can POTENTIALLY become.
Yoda may have less Midi-chlorians than Anakin, but Yoda also have several hundred years worth of training as a Jedi, so he has managed to basically utilize far more of his potential power than what Anakin has himself.
Ahh right, that makes sense mate...just think of what potential Anakin had if he could have had a few hundred years honing his skill!
Like what the Film Theorists said the midi clorians are like mitochondria. The powerhouse of the cell ( or stronger starting connection to the force) like those with athletic talent can come from both good genes and hard work
The actor who played young Anakin was Jake Lloyd, who played the kid in "Jingle All The Way." After the film released, it gained mixed to negative reviews. Jake suffered severe bullying at school and quit acting all together. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia and was involved in a high speed road chase keeping him behind bars before being moved to a psychiatric facility.
The actor who played Jar Jar Binks is Ahmed Best. He was also blamed for the negative reviews of the film. He even almost committed suicide but didn't.
I love this film and its such a shame that people blame actors like this.
Jesus Lewis yeah that's pretty messed up like. Being bullied instead of being classed as a little legend for playing Anakin is crazy!
Your excitement during this movie reminds me of when I first watched it when I was 8; seeing a brand new Star Wars film for the first time blew me away
Absolutely...I actually feel like a kid while watching them :)
The original script actually didn't involve Qui Gon at all, he was added to the story later on. Early concept art shows obi wan meeting the trade federation alone.
That aside, Qui Gon does still have a role to play if you pay attention.
Yeah deffo, I noticed there wasn't a mention of him until episode 1 and I did wonder if they decided to write him in to the story later. Thanks for the comment Ariel ☺️
I was a little skeptical of the enormous amount of CGI when I saw it in the theater, but liked it over all. Most people did. It made pots of money. But then the internet came into it's own. In LOTR, King Théoden says "what can a man do against such reckless hate?" That sums up what I feel about the intervening decades; useless, pointless hate.
Yeah I enjoyed it too, Shame it was slated so much. People seem to have mixed feelings about it but I thought overall it was a good movie.
Most people did? Were you 10? The reception at the time was absolutely terrible. I quite enjoy the prequels, with all its flaws, but the first movie was not well recieved.
The funny thing is that phantom menace has more practical effects than the entire OT combined
@@omgnuub no he’s actually right you can look up peoples reactions upon exiting their first showing and the reception was overwhelmingly positive. There’s a reason there all use the same clip of one guy saying ‘thumbs way down’ and it’s because there was very little negative feedback until after the trilogy had been completed for a few years
@@AgntFL I saw them in theaters.
17:09 This must’ve been an exciting scene for Lucas to create. He loved to race cars. Watch his movie before Star Wars called American Graffiti. He also crafted many homages into the Star Wars series. This was an obvious Ben Hur reference.
Yeah I bet, it's a really great scene and a very obvious Ben Hur reference I agree 👍
A little background information for the Podrace: Normally that thing is for Aliens only. Human reflexes are to slow for that. Anakin could only participate and win because of the Force within him :)
You could tell he was special from the first moment he was on screen. It's great watching the podrace and seeing his reflexes as they have away that he had abilities
@@SofaandChill I still like the prequels. Yes, Jar Jar was a little annoying sometimes and it was especially hard for Jake Lloyd playing Anakin, but he didn't deserve all the hate, wich later developed towards him. He was just a child and you can't await, that a child could have such great acting skills like Christopher Lee or Ian McDiarmid.
And after watching Episode 7 & 8 (i REALLY don't want to spend money for Episode 9) i even enjoy the romance scenes with Padme and Anakin in Episode 2.
@@Anthyrion yeah I enjoyed them those scenes too. I did feel really sorry for Jake Lloyd, he really had no chance lol. I really enjoyed the prequels and after I have done the stand alone movies, clone wars and the Mandalorion I will do the sequels 😃
@@SofaandChill Clone Wars and Mando have better writing then the sequels, but i don't wanna spoiler here. See them and judge by yourself. For me, the Saga ended with Episode 6.
いいリアクション
エピソード2も楽しみ！
That's a good reaction.
I'm looking forward to episode 2 too!
Thank you :)
Now that you've watched all 6 of them... the final cheerful music is actually Palpatine's theme. The exact same notes (obviously because that's the beginning of his rise).
This is when you realize every time C-3PO says "thank the maker"... He's actually saying thank Darth Vader
So enthusiastic loving the enthusiasm, as a big Star Wars fan i love it when others are enjoying this even in 2021, can i suggest you react to SC38 remastered from FixItinpost and see how the fans can make good content, also loving the edit of the film. Excellent work
Thanks Michael, I'm really pleased I have left it until now to go through them all. It's always something I have wanted to do but just never got round to it. Starting a reaction channel has given me the opportunity to do the franchise and allow people to follow along with me. I'm loving it mate 👍
"I'm a prisoner. My name is Anakin" . I hadn't realized how shocking that line was
The line is "I'm a person. My name is Anakin."
For a person like me, who was 3 years old when the originals came out, someone who was raised watching the movies on TV and VHS, who got all the toys and all the PJs and bed sheets and lunch boxes and back pack etc, to go to the theater to see the phantom menace, to hear the first notes of the song at the beginning, the rush of it was AMAZING. Same happened when The force awakens came out. I'm a SW fan who liked all trilogies, so it was something I will never forget AND never regret
If you think Darth Maul is a good fighter in this, you'll love him in Darth Maul: Apprentice, where he fights six Jedi at once.
Darth Maul: Apprentice? is that in clone wars mate?
@@SofaandChill No, it's a fan film. Trust me, it's very well done. The fighting choreography is absolutely perfect.
@@SofaandChill you should watch Clone Wars though!!! UNREAL. Slow season 1 and 2 but after 3 onwards it just gets better and better. The climax is insane.
I love your child-like enjoyment of these movies. I also found Jar-Jar very funny!
Thanks Treena :)
Just rewatching this and Kevs face when the boy reveals he is Anakin
😂🤣
Midichlorian count is basically "channel strength." It's not power in the force, and not even strictly speaking potential. It's how easily/freely you can sense it. Think of ones ability with the force like a radio, and Anakin was born with a particularly strong reciever. And like is typical with tech, if part of it is top of the line, the rest is liable to be of high quality as well. So it's a very strong indication of his force potential. But there are likewise beings with a high midichlorian count, but who can't use the force.
I always compare it to Wi-Fi, Anakin's got 5G.
The Force is Anakin's Father that is why he has more medichlorians in his body than any Jedi in existence
So awesome to see this. I saw when it first came out, first show. Was amazing. Waited long weeks in line. Best time in my life. Over time it seems ok. Ep 1. It’s Star Wars. Lol. So glad you’re seeing this and watching you’re amazing reaction! So cool!!! Please keep up with your reactions. I’m now watch8 g you. I watch a ton of reactors. You’re great! 👍🤓 can’t wait till you see Ep 3!!!
Thank you so much for the comment mate, really means a lot. Yeah on totally loving it at the moment and watching the next episode over the next couple of days. It's been an amazing journey so far so I get the feeling it's only just beginning. Thank you so much for watching 😃
Glad you liked The Phantom Menace it’s a great movie, can’t wait for your episode 2 reaction it only gets better from here, by the time you finish the main saga in episode 3 your mind will be blown
Yeah I thought it was great mate, I have absolutely no idea how the franchise goes (apart from Anakin going to the dark side) but no idea how or what happens. Extremely excited to find out 😃. Thanks for watching man 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed your reaction. Your criticisms were valid. Lucas was never an Actors Director and it showed sometimes.
Thanks mate, really appreciate the comment :)
Young Anakin was same kid from Jingle All the Way with Arnold who wanted a Turbo Man doll. lol
Battle Droid Commander 00M-9 was a actual ace In this film.
I’m case no one else has explained it yet, anakin was created by accident by Darth Plageuis who could influence the midichlorians to create life. This also explains why he has the highest record midichlorian count of any Jedi. It would also explain his tendency to go a little towards the dark side
Wowza, didn't know that at all. I guess it would make sense as to why Anakin was so powerful
That was from a book that’s not canon anymore unfortunately and anakins birth hasn’t been explained in the new canon yet
It wasn't Plageuis exactly, Anakin is a manifestation of the living force. It was Plageuis and Palpatine messing with unnatural Sith alchemy, which is touched on is episode 9, the force was influenced into creating Anakin. Cause and effect.
So good to see somebody react to this for the first time. Brings back memories as a kid.
The “one” thing is WITHOUT A DOUBT the death of Qui-Gon Jinn.
so that pod race , my dad had told me, and I did look it up later. was very inspired by the chariot race in teh 1960s ben hur
@26:27 'What the Sh*t on Toast!'
Best Reaction Ever.
🤣🤣 hahaha yeah sorry about that... I don't have a filter and sometimes the things I say are quite random lmao
@@SofaandChill Filters are boring, express yourself, mate.
@@IndySidhu88 haha I most certainly will mate 😃
(long reply coming) I was 10 years old when "Star Wars" came out(at the time, it wasn't subtitled "A New Hope"... that came later, once the movie was a success). Unlike many OT(Original Trilogy) fans, I actually enjoyed Episode I. I have ever since I saw it in theaters. The version of Episode IV, V, and VI that you saw, were the "Special Edition" versions. You can get "Despecialized" versions of the original movies(if you can find a place to download them from), that basically have the original effects, but upgraded to 4k. It's also possible to track down the VHS versions of the OT... or at the very least, you can check out some videos detailing the differences between releases. I recommend doing so... that way you can get a feel for what we actually saw in theaters back in '77, '80, and '84.
Anyway.... I'm glad you have so far watched them in release order. That's how we got the story back then. But, from here, you can watch everything chronologically(even though some was released outside of chronological order). That includes the animated series'.... which I will detail later in this reply.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is just a Padawan here.... his Master(teacher) is Qui-Gon Jinn(Liam Neesen).
OH! While I'm thinking of it(4:00 in).... turn on Subtitles. It will help you with some terminology and speech patterns. Not to mention character names.
6:10 - You like Jar Jar Binks.... (not so) fun fact: MANY Star Wars fans HATED the character when this movie was released. Ahmed Best(the actor who played him) got a LOT of hate, which honestly, I think was unwarranted. Both he, and the young actor who played Anakin(Jake Lloyd) got a shitload of hate mail, and fan backlash. It's really sad, to think about.
10:20 - Remember, even Adolf Hitler was a child once...
13:29 - This plot point got a lot of people riled up. I don't want to post spoilers... but IF you pay attention(as you have been doing so far), you'll figure it out. While I haven't replied to your pervious videos, I have watched them. A lot of people call him "Space Jesus"....
14:07 - Midichlorians were another "controversial plot point". Lucas actually had them written about in his original draft for the overall story... so they aren't exactly new. They weren't mentioned in previous movies, however. Basically what Obi-Wan is saying here, is that Anakin is more powerful in The Force than even Master Yoda(who, at this time, is the "Grand Master" of the Jedi Order).
15:43 - Yep. That's the whole point. In the back of your mind, you KNOW what's going to happen.... but as you watch it, Anakin is so "nice", that you forget about it consciously.
16:00 - Holy Hell... I absolutely LOVE your slang! I'm assuming you're British from the accent... and I'm familiar with much of the slang you use. I just find it funny as Hell, as I'm an American with a good amount of "worldly knowledge".
21:04 - Originally, Yoda was a puppet like he was in Empire, but being honest, the puppet looked like shite. When the VHS/DVD came out, he was replaced with this much better CGI version. Which looks a LOT more like a younger version of Yoda than the puppet did.
21:10 - Also, notice that just right of Liam Neesen's character... there is another one of Yoda's species sitting on a chair. Her name is Yaddle.
21:48 - Pause it here, also... and notice that one of the aliens of the Senate are from Steven Spielberg's "E.T."... this was intentional.
23:02 - When Qui-Gon says that Obi-Wan is "ready for the trials", he means the "test" which will take him from being a Padawan Learner to the level of Jedi Knight. Thing is, the "Trials" effectively tell the Jedi Council not only IF a Padawan is ready to become a Knight, but also where they can best serve the Jedi Order. While Obi-Wan never actually takes the "Trials"(as they are different for each Padawan)... him defeating Darth Maul later on becomes his "Trial Test", thus granting him the title of Jedi Knight.
23:40 - Oh, my friend... not just "a scrap".... but one of the finest pieces of "classical music" ever written to go along with it.
34:47 - Well, it's you're opinion, and unlike what many would say, you're entitled to it. The thing is, Jake Lloyd(who played a 9 year old Anakin) had a decent chemistry with Natalie Portman, and he had the look of a very young Luke Skywalker. I think he did a decent job, especially when you consider how Lucas was as a director. He, more or less, would only tell the actors if they did something he didn't like, rather than actually direct them in how he wanted things to go. In other words, he allowed the actors(young and older) to do their job, and only said something when he felt their acting was "out of character" from his vision.
35:20 - Minor spoiler here; Maul survived being cut in half. He reappears in the Clone Wars animated series, with "droid" legs, and lower body. Part of the reason for this is that Lucas highly underestimated the popularity of the character, thus figured out a way for him to survive his injuries. But yes, Maul WAS the Apprentice to Darth Sidious(I use the name, as it was spoken in dialogue in this movie, so not a spoiler). So, again, after watching Episode II, I recommend watching the Clone Wars animated series(right up until the final 4 episodes)... you will learn a LOT of backstory about the characters you've grown to like, as well as being introduced to some new major characters who factor in heavily further into the timeline. Some reactors do videos on the animated series.... some don't. Either way you decide to go, I do recommend watching them anyway.
Chronological order: Episode I, Episode II, The Clone Wars(animated series), Episode III, The Bad Batch(animated series), Solo, Rebels(animated series), Rogue One, Episode IV, Episode V, Episode VI, The Mandalorian(live action series), (in December of this year, we get "The Book of Boba Fett", which takes place right after The Mandalorian season 2), Episode VII, Episode VIII, and Episode IX. I have to point out that the final 4 episodes of the Clone Wars series(season 7) take place "in sync" with Episode III, so you should skip those final 4 episodes until after you've watched Episode III. But the rest of the series leads up to that. The animated series are also part of the story.... and while you don't have to do reaction videos to them.... you should at least watch them. As well as the live action series The Mandalorian. I realize it's a LOT to take in.... but everything relates to everything else in some way or another. Which is why I recommend watching all of it.
As far as the timeline goes.... Episode I takes place 34 years before the events of A New Hope(which is considered "Year 0").... when the first Death Star is destroyed, that's the "Zero Hour", and everything prior to it is considered "BBY"(Before the Battle of Yavin), and everything after is considered "ABY"(After the Battle of Yavin). So, Episode I takes place is 34 BBY, Episode II takes place in 24 BBY, Episode III takes place in 20 BBY. Solo takes place in 10 BBY, Rogue One leads directly up to the events in Episode IV(which is 0 BBY), Episode V takes place in 1 ABY, Episode VI takes place in 3 ABY, The Mandalorian takes place in 13 ABY, Episode VII takes place 30 ABY, Episode VIII takes place directly after Episode VII, and I'm not sure exactly what year(ABY) Episode IX takes place.
One or two last things: I'm enjoying your videos, and have a habit of giving lots of information related to what you(the reactor) already know.... yet I do my best to NOT post spoilers. Also, I recommend watching not only the animated series, but you SHOULD do reaction videos to The Mandalorian(if nothing else).... those videos are VERY popular, and it would attract more long time fans to your channel. I only found it this morning, and marathon'd your Star Wars videos. I didn't reply to the older ones, as you've already learned what I would say anyway. But this one is new, so I thought I'd chime in. I've been a Star Wars fan since it's initial release in 1977. I loved it so much that I delved very deep into the lore, which is why I tend to leave such long replies. That said, I also try my best to not spoil things(with some minor exceptions here and there, only to encourage you to delve deeper yourself).
Have a great day, and I look forward to your video on Episode II!
You ready to have mind blown? Wanna know why the song, played during the Darth Maul fight at the end of the movie, is called Duel Of The Fates? They are dueling for the fate of Anakin, because if Qui-Gon lived he would of trained Anakin, and he would make sure and help Anakin with his premonitions about his mom and Padmé; and that means Anakin wouldn't turn into Darth Vader.
Mind blown?
27:22 GREATEST. DOOR. OPEN. EVER!!!
Lmao, the Jesus parallels with Anakin with his immaculate conception. I never noticed it until my second watch of the prequel trilogy
🤣
that pod race announcer is comedian Greg Proops from the improv tv show Whose Line Is It Anyway
My friends and I stood in line for five hours for tickets to the first midnight showing of this movie. I dressed like Luke and my friend dressed like Han. It was awesome.
Joe that sounds amazing mate and extremely dedicated. you deserve immediate Jedi status and may the force be with you 👍
26:25 the thudding of the doors when they open all the way almost acts like a counter melody responding to the music. We get the two notes of the music and then in time with the beat of the song, the doors thud as they stop opening. Not sure if it was intentional, but I love it
I like your reactions, I'd love if you watched through the clone wars animated series after you go through all the star wars movies... its such a joy and I think you'd like it, especially the final seasons.
Thank you much for the comment, means the world. Yeah I've heard the animated clone wars is something I should add to the channel. Have you seen them all?
Definitely something I will add 👍
@@SofaandChill I have seen all 7 seasons of it, it’s worth it man. Your reactions are great, it’s fun to watch and see you learn new things
@@imperious8905 thanks Morgan, 7 seasons? Sounds like I'm going to be busy then 😃
@@SofaandChill it’s not as bad as it sounds, but yes you would be :)
@@SofaandChill There is a chronological order to the episodes though, the first few seasons were a little mixed up.
oh btw, remember how here we discover anikin built C3P0? well, think back to empire strikes back when chewie had a half put together c3p0 on his back and throwing bad guys, one tried to shoot them and vader put his hand down to stop the guy from shooting. it makes me think now that it is because it was his own creation
Years back, a short comic came out showing that the reason Chewie had the pieces of 3PO in his cell on Cloud City was that Vader recognized the droid and had him sent to the cell.
@@joeconcepts5552 interesting. i never read th comics but that is intriguing
This was awesome man!! Such a cool reaction. 😎
Thanks bro, really appreciate the comment :)
@@SofaandChill No problem I subscribed can’t wait to watch more of your reactions 😀
Fun fact: qui gon only had two apprentices in his time one that turned to the dark side. After the first he didn’t want another apprentices. And refused to take any. Obi wan was by his side for quite some time before he was Qui-gon’s apprentice. Later obi became an apprentice. This quick move that qui-gon would want Anakin to become his apprentice shocked the Jedi council, and showed them how much this meant to qui-gon as this wasn’t going to be easy.
I think Qui-Gon was killed off too early. He was such a good character and they could have used him a lot more
@@SofaandChill yes* I would have loved to see him more, but what would be really cool is if we could see the journey of Obi wan’s apprenticeship with qui gon. That would really show a lot of his character.
Clicked so fast. 👍😁
Hahaha, aww thank you :)
New subscriber here. I love your reactions- you had me at "holy shit biscuits" 😆
:) Thanks Sandra, is it really a reaction with "holy shit biscuits" lmao
Good movie, Greetings from Mexico
Soo...ill clue ya in on actors and actress' nataly portman...the queen...her double...kera knightly...leam neason is qui gon...RAY PARK IS DARTH MAUL he was toad in x men and snake eyes in gi joe...he also played the headless horsman in sleepy hollow
Wowza, wasn't aware that toad was Darth maul....thanks for that mate. Don't want to Google anything star wars related as I may get a spoiler 🤣
@@SofaandChill understood
Anakins actor did an awesome job!
Absolutely mate
Great reaction!
Loved how you appreciated ObiWan’s move that ended Darth Maul. You’d be surprised how many people don’t. The composure and lack of panic in such a dire situation, in order to think of that move.
Thanks bro :)
Mate it is impossible not to be impressed with it, especially after what he just did to Qui-Gon Jinn. Such a brilliant move and executed perfectly....
Amazing stuff!
Lol…after your comment about it being Star studded, listed them & included Yoda!
:)
love your reaction. 9:40 made me laugh.
:) well I am pleased my humour gave you a laugh! usually people can not understand me haha
People hates the prequels when George Lucas was still in control....I wonder what those folks have to say about episode 7-9 now that Disney is in charge....at Least with George there was a story.
I really enjoyed the prequels mate, maybe because I did not have to wait so long between movies and could just jump straight into the next one. I didn't mind Solo but Rogue One was amazing. Such a great movie to watch
Wow. I have never heard anyone say the words “I like Jar Jar Binks” before.
Hahaha yeah I've heard people who have seen the clone wars think differently lol
I was 16 when this movie came out and I loved it then, and I love it now. The hate is exaggarated (and while it did get a lot of hate from the media and some aspects of the fandom, there were plenty of people 'in real life' I knew that also really liked it).
Certainly it's not flawless, and I will absolutely poke fun at the prequels (especially AOTC) but plenty of people love them and always have and I think they tell a really interesting story about how people (and institutions) fall. In some ways it's best to look at these movies as something like an opera - striking visuals, music and broad tropes/archetypes - but not exactly super sophisticated diologue, etc.
you see by having the lower ground obi had the advantage over maul
Sadly, something of this movie was spoiled with the release of the soundtrack... The track list included on a particular track "Death of Qui-Gonn" for anyone who hadn't seen the movie but read the track list... Spoiler as soon as soon as Qui-Gonn was introduced "yeah. you're going to love him, awesome actor. He's dead by the end of the film"
I remember just before Episode 1 came out. I was working in a clothing factory that made pjs and we were making Episode 1 outfits for kids. I initially thought Liam Neeson was Obi-Wan and Ewan MacGregor was Anakin before watching the movie and I didn’t think much about the guy with the helmet and goggles because I was focused on the Jedi characters. I was surprised that started when Anakin was so young.
People criticize this movie, but the “Duel of the Fates” between Jedi and Sith at the end is my favorite sequence of any Jedi fights I’ve seen. Short but awesome.
But, Lucas should have asked the fight choreographer for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to direct that sequence. Those fights make the Jedi sequences look amateurish by comparison. More intense, faster and they look more authentic.
Yeah that would have been a great move had they done that regarding the choreography. I feel sorry for the young kid playing Anakin as he was slated by most everyone. I really liked the prequels also, really looking forward to the clone wars now
@@SofaandChill I didn’t mind Jake Lloyd. Jar jar annoys me, though! Lol
I’m happy you seemed to like him.
btw, darth maul was played by Ray Park, he was actually a legit swordsman and martial arts expert.
Come for the reaction, stay for the pg-13 curse words. Nice. ;)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even Samuel Jackson mentioned it, so it is true :)
Well if Samuel said it then I know it's true 😊
Qui Gon is my favourite thing bout the prequels, I wish he was in the others too honesty
Hi ben, yeah Qui Gon was awesome and I am hoping they release something about his life in some upcoming movie or TV show
Jar Jar is a sith lord
He's a little shit box 😃
yes well Qui Gon Gin already knows that Padme is really the Queen also Warwick Davis can be seen in the crowd at the pod races the guy playing darth Maul is a Martial arts expert
Really enjoying your breakdowns. I hope you do episodes 7-9 as well. Keep it up, I'm a recent fan, but a big one.
Thanks mate and yeah I definitely will 👍
31:44 Darth maul gets cut in half.
Such a good move x
As a child, seeing this film in theaters, I loved it. As I got older, I went through a period of hate because I felt we were cheated because we believed the prequels were the last helping of Star Wars we would have for the rest of our lives. Obviously, that proved to be false with the Disney purchase. Now, with thr seeming never-ending cycle of Star Wars we have, the prequels can be viewed as serving a purpose and moving the story along just fine, unlike the sequels, which I'm sorry, cannot be redeemed. I hated them as I watched them and cannot make it through a viewing without large quantities of alcohol because they are woke clusterfucks with thr sole objective of throwing out all old Star wars like a bag of trash.
I was looking through the comments and I didn't see anyone mention that there is evidence for jar jar to be a sith Lord
Just one thing to remember - midichlorians are NOT the Force. Like Qui-Gon says later, they are microscopic lifeforms. In a way, they are kind of like power level in Dragon Ball Z.
Thanks for the insight my friend. I'm still learning so really appreciate you explaining things I'm a little more detail... thank you sir 👏
Greetings, my friend! Regarding the portrayal of young, Anakin...you’re in the majority. After it had been released, many folks referred to the actor’s abilities, he got the moniker, “Anakin, the mannequin.” 😹
Also, the senator, with Darth Maul....without giving up any spoilers...Let me just say, it gives me Clark/Superman vibes. Meaning, how could a pair of glasses hide his identity? If you know, you know. If not, you will 😏
Yeah I think the poor kid was doomed from day one. I think it was his first acting role...a huge gamble if you ask me!
I understand bro :)
@@SofaandChill
True. Spielberg, his best friend & collaborator, had much better luck when casting children...ie. E.T., Empire of the Sun...Btw, I haven’t seen anyone react to that particular film. It’s the one that started my interest in cinematography. It also starred an unknown, Christian Bale 😉
I didn't care for the prequels when they came out. I didn't hate them, but I definitely didnt watch them as much as the original trilogy. Then I saw the Clone Wars tv show and saw them in an entirely new light.... except ep 1, which I still don't care for (and not because of Jake).
If you liked Darth Maul you should watch Darth Maul Apprentice, it's a fan made film, I think you'll enjoy it
so e.t's species show up in the senate vote of no confidence scene as a cameo. so i guess e.t is a star wars film?
I totally agree Scott 😄
Merci.
:)
I'd love to see you do Close Encounters with your son.
That's a great shout, thanks mate 👍
yeah about the age difference between Padme and Anaikin... errm
Yeah she is a lot older but that what's so good about them, she is like a big sis to him
They’re only 5 years apart. Anakin was 9 here and Palme was 14
@@jayjitsuu yeah it wasn't as bad as I thought lol
26:22 And Destiny played its hand, for the Duel of the Fates had begun yet again
Such a good scene mate
Hi, new viewer here. -For Halloween I dressed up as…..Darth Vader. You should’ve heard the gasps and The short sharp cries from girls and women as I walk through they Disneyland parking lot at night with my Black robe and lit red lightsaber.
- The Disneyland Neighbor
PS. Diehard Star Wars fan since 1977.
Hi Mario, thanks for the comment. Wow, now that is a Halloween costume and I give you a lot of respect for that!
I would love to see that sight at Disneyland lol
I've watched this movie so many times but I still think Jar-Jar was a liability. I agree with some critics that the boy playing Annakin gave a weak performance. Still love the movie but nobody's perfect.
Yeah Jar Jar is definitely a liability lol . I certainly wouldn't have him along on any mission where I wanted it to be a success lol
the prophecy states of a "chosen one" a being made up of the force entirely! that's why there is no father , Anakin is The Chosen One, who brings balance! seeing as you've seen the original trilogy you know what he does
and yes Midichlorians are the amount of power a jedi can possess, Anakin is the best man, FULL POTENTIAL Anakin is the most powerful being in the universe
29:28 Shoot.
ok go ep 2 and 3 quick !!!!!!
😃
When you watch closly the fight between maul and obi wan. the clothes flow not right. lucas has to slow down the speed of the movie, because mcgregor and parker ware so fast a fightin, lucas was thinking now one would belive that.
Wow, I don't know that mate, that's unbelievable. The choreography is absolute class to be fair and they must have worked on it for a hell of a long time
:D
Dude, you are Obi Wan.
😂😂😂
You ought to watch and react to the Clone Wars series(not the movie, god no). Bridges the gaps between 2 and 3. Just started watching your videos, I'm loving them, your reactions are awesome.
Thanks Robert mate, really appreciate the comment 😃
I hate this movie , and the next installment . I love your dialect 😀✔☕☕✨
:)
This was the worst SW movie.
