Mad respect for the emotion you’re feeling at Shmi Skywalkers death and why it means for Anakin. 🖤
Man I was afraid in episode 1 for this… 😩
adding a little bit to why they said he was 'too old' initially. Not because they need every available second to teach him but he'd already form relationships as a human being. Once that is experienced, damned hard thing to break. Had he never met his mother this probably would have not affected him. He'd also already experienced his own arrogance in the pod races and experienced suffering. All in all difficult place to start for a Jedi. Too bad Qui-Gon wasn't still around to support him. Could have gone differently ;)
Emotion is a BAD guidance though ...
@@Muck006 but there is no peace, only passion 😈
You was amazing as both Xavier and Picard....legend!!! ;)
Keep in mind Padme was the youngest queen ever to sit the throne of Naboo. She is five years older than Anakin. This film 24 and 19 respectively
Yeah I think she definitely had to mature quick for that role… I feel bad for her too, probably repressed a lot of things for “the greater good”
Aye, she was 14 back in episode 1.
@@NiaMakiReacts”The Greater Good!”
17:20 He wanted a Clone to raise as his son.
Background: Jango had a very tought life... he never found a partner that could keep up with him, but he wanted to be a father.
He got Boba and wanted to raise him like he would have liked to be raised, to be able to give him everything he never had.
As a Mandalorian (Which Jango is) it is not uncommon to take any child as their own. So a Clone as your child might be uncomman, but neither the less, he would be accepted as his child.
14:51
Yes Boba Fett is the unaltered clone that they spoke about. Unlike the other troops, he is the exact age (10) that he's supposed to be when they began the program. He grew up as an actual human. And he's also the bounty hunter from the Original Trilogy that was after Han.
Owen is Anakin's step-brother, not half-brother. Shmi Skywalker is not Owen's mother, rather she is his step-mother. There is no shared DNA between the Skywalkers and the Lars families. Cliegg Lars apparently had a previous relationship which produced Owen. Based upon Owen's apparent age relative to Anakin's, I would say Owen is a bit older.
And, never really understood, or approved of the jedi as a whole... which explains why he wouldn't let Obi-Wan anywhere near Luke.
BUT in the original story that for some reason George Lucas decided to change when he did the prequels: Owen was Obi Wan's Brother. Did you know this?
@@elsacristina9 It is possible that they are trying to re-introduce Obi Wan's sibling. See the Obi Wan Kenobi part 3 video for reference. It has also been indicated that Rey (Solana) Skywalker has a connection to the Kenobi family on her mother's side, perhaps Obi Wan's niece. If Obi Wan's brother had a daughter, that woman may have grown up to be Rey's mother and married Palpatine's "son" to produce Rey.
The Death Star was actually designed by the Geonosians and taken by Darth Tyranus a.k.a Dooku.
that makes sense
3:49 Anakin is 19, Padmé is 24.
13:30 Yeah, if you watch carefully, Padmé's been sending mixed signals from the moment of their reunion ("My goodness you've grown!"You'll always be the little boy from Tatooine."), even in this scene, why would she put on such an elaborate dress, in an informal setting, with just the two of them, when visiting a romantic location, that she herself picked for their retreat? Especially considering later in the movie, she has no problem picking less outstanding outfitts, and hiding in less extravagant places?
14:05 That's precisely it. She never had a private life. Her first and only crush, she can think about when asked, was when she was 12. She's surrounded by politicians with an agenda, advisors and bodyguards 24/7, who only ever treat her as their boss. She had to live her life never showing her true emotions. Anakin's stumbling straight forwardness is something she's never experienced, so even if he comes in too hard, she can't help but admire his honesty.
16:12 No, the stormtroopers from the OT are drafted/enlisted soldiers, sourced from the population of the Galaxy. The Jango Fett clones are in their late-50s by the time of those movies, since because of their accelarated growth they aged 40 years in the span of 20.
34:50 Yoda can only do that, by drawing heavily on the Force, which is exhausting in it's own right. It's not something to be wasted on trivial matters like walking.
36:32 Yeah, pretty much. Sidious and Dooku created a puppet state to rebell against the Republic, and they secretly created the clone army so that the Republic could fight back effectively. It's an entirely engineered conflict, using the pre-existing griveances caused by the corruption of the Republic Senate.
yes, in the first movie Anakin is 10, not 6 , and Jedi USUALLY begin between 4-7 , THATS why the Masters were like "he is too old"
@@hephner78 Well, 9 to be exact. Their ages were 9 and 14 in Episode I and now 19-24 in Episode II (as it's 10 years later).
Good summary. I woud only add that Sidious and Dooku created the separatists from those who were already fed up with the centralisation going in the republic.
@@csabas.6342 Kicsi a cyber-világ, testvér!😁
@@Verebazs 😏
29:05 Basically, Darth Sidious is somewhere pulling the strings in the Republic and Dooku is using the Separatist to his advantage as well. So which ever side wins, our heroes will lose either way.
16:10 so despite this, later stormtroopers are established as recruits; at the time of the original trilogy, only a few stormtroopers are clones, with the only known legion to still contain a significant number of clones being the 501st Legion, aka "Vader's Fist".
When you speculated that Padme is attracted to Anakin because she can do with him stuffes she didn't as senator, you're absolutely right! She fell for him because he was always honest with her about his thoughts and always himself with her - and that was very refreshing to Padme, as she was constantly surrounded by politicians that were often two-faced and calculated.
And regardless of future of their relationship, in THIS movie it IS healthy, because they are honest with each other and try navigate their journey together. Living in secret - thing that Anakin suggested (I won't spoiler wheter or not they decide to keep it secret) - might not be best way to function in day-to-day life, but I don't think that necesserily made the couple unhealthy (such situation might be unhealthy, but pair can still make it work and be good to each other).
Your explanation about Padme is the first argument I've ever seen as to why she would be attracted to him in the first place. I got it in the Clone Wars because he seemed more mature, more heroic, more manly, but in this one it always seemed like she viewed him as a kid until they kissed, at which point I had no idea where it was coming from (I get a feeling that one or two scenes may have been switched around in this regard). So thank you for giving me a good explanation for the first time in the 20 years I've seen this movie
@@brianalambert1192 Aww, you're welcome! (I personally think they could cut the scene of their argument in Royal Plaace of Naboo and left the deleted scenes where they visited Padme's family. It would have more sens show them having a nice moment just before their first kiss, instead of angsty one.)
There's this long but very educated video about all things in Anakin's character that made Padme fell for him: th-cam.com/video/4hhfEzgfvZ8/w-d-xo.html
Check, if you want :)
Yeah, the relationship itself isn't unheathy here, it's just anakin specifically that's an unhealthy person.
@@jaernihiltheus7817 Agree.
Anakin acts a little "creepy" because he KNOWS she's attracted to him from the start. He can read her thoughts and/or emotions. Imagine KNOWING that someone likes you but they are acting like they don't. As a 19 year old, it would be tough to ignore that, especially if you really like her too.
in Star wars episodes 2 and 3, it was the era of The Clone Wars. Clones fought for the republic. After the Clone Wars ended, the Galactic Empire takes over, and had no use for Clones. The Galactic Empire had Stormtroopers (Episodes 4-6), who were mainly Humans, who either Volunteered or were drafted to serve under the empire.
Between Clone Troopers and Storm Troopers. Clone Troopers are better soldiers, because they grow up in brotherhood, and are created only to fight, and are trained to fight from a very young age. The saddest secret about the clones is that they have inhibitor chips in their heads, which force them under control by specific people.
Storm Troopers on the other hand are just people that are loyal or forced under the Empire. The empire didn't keep the clones because the empire wanted the trust of the people, and what better way than to make them into soldiers (or give out jobs in other terms...) with benefits. Some people were convinced that serving the empire was Honorable, and would lead to a luxurious life.
Yes, Yoda is old and walks with a cane. But when the Force flows through him, he can move very quickly.
"Can you beat that?" is just an expression, the equivalent of "can you believe that?".
Also, Owen isn't Shmee's child by birth, he'd be her stepchild after she married his father.
The fact that she heard that and leapt to that conclusion honestly cracked me up 😆
Like Padme said, "If the Senate votes to approve an army, II am certain it will push us towards a Civil War." So, basically, Sidious' plan all along was to create a crisis that would require the use of an army.
More to the point, to create a crisis that would grant him emergency, dictator-level powers.
So palpatine was a dictator once given emergency powers and wouldn't give it up because war allows him to remain In office and keep his power
Reminder, 1 unit has lots of clones. 200,000 units consists of billions. The total estimate of the galactic republic in its prime was 30+ billion clones at the same time.
If you remember the bounty hunter who took Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt in eps V and VI, was Bobba Fett. This small kid, son unaltered of the clones host Jango Fett, it´s Bobba.
That wasn't the same double at the beginning. The actress who played the double in the Phantom Menace was actually Kiera Knightly. It was her first major film role.
I think Yoda's speed and agility in his duel with Dooku was only a temporary boost. I'm not sure how it works, but it'd make sense that he'd tap into the Force to move properly in a fight, but not abuse it all the time just to feel young.
Young Boba's story continues in The Clone Wars series, as he gets taken in by his father's fellow bounty hunter associates, like Bossk (the big lizard alien seen briefly in Empire Strikes Back) and Aurra Sing. Even at a young age, Boba was trained well and took on bounty hunting gigs of his own, after a failed revenge scheme against Mace Windu.
Oh the gems you had in this one Nia!! Count Doodoo, Count Dookie, and the Yoda isn't that nimble just before he fights Dooku!! Along with the typed comments like "disapproving mom", I laughed a lot!! Can't wait until Episode 3!!
14:34 Interesting fact: In the Novel campanion to the book, it is explained how Padme feels so attracted to Anakin and how it confuses her and she sees him in a totaly different way and does not realy understand why she feels so pulled towards him.
Force Augmentation. Yoda and Dooku are essentially using the force to enhance their physical abilities. Without it, Yoda would just be an old man with a walking stick. It would not last forever though. If Anakin was able to drag the fight out longer, Dooku would just get tired, as you see him taking a deep breath after cutting off his arm. And if you remember, Sifo-Dyas ordered the making of a clone army. It never states whether he did, or someone else did under the alias of Sifo-Dyas, but nevertheless, he was killed around the time of The Phantom Menace, and that the clone army was not authorized by the Jedi Council, implying that this is all a ruse.
i laughed in the last reaction when you said "She's like a big sister to him"😂
btw i think Padme is about 24 here and Anakin is about 20 or so- so it's not that large of a gap in their ages.
Lol I felt so bad for her, she had no idea what she was in for 😅
You almost right
Padme Amidala was born in 46 BBY
Anakin in 41 BBY
Anakin would date with Ahsoka.
Anakin Is Born in 41 BBY and Ahsoka Is Born in 36 BBY
and ani does help free his mother by making her feel complete and moving on from this world and freeing her
12:05 so this plan formation is from ancient times, hatched by Darth Bane, who had a vision regarding bring an end to the Jedi and democracy from within, his plan was to enter under disguise!! however before he could see it brought into fruition he was killed, in dual in a final duel against his apprentice Darth Zannah. it was his successor many years later Darth Plaguis who wished to execute its brilliance, but he too was killed, and it’s his apprentice Darth Sidious which has began to opperate it,
Sifo-Dyas, manipulated by the Sith Lords, .. and before notifying the Jedi was murdered, had a hand in the destruction of the Jedi Order in his effort to save it, by falsely authorising the creation of the Clone Army, .. which it’s true purpose would eventually emerge
The Kaminoans are cloners. They were hired by the now deceased Jedi to create an army to serve the Republic.
Boba Fett is a clone of his dad, Jango. Unlike the clone army, he wasn't engineered to age exceptionally fast, so that Jango can enjoy a halfways normal fatherhood raising his "son."
Anakin's meltdown against the Sand People is precisely why he was deemed "too old" to begin Jedi training: he had a strong emotional attachment to his mother! His anger was entirely unacceptable to the Jedi. Anger is a direct route to the Dark Side.
16:09 The Clones were force to retire slowly before the original trilogy. The Stormtroopers in those movies are just ordinary humans. It is sad though 😔
10:14 When I saw this scene as a kid, I wanted to be there with the other younglings 😂
Absolutely!!
Yoda can use the Force to enhance his body temporarily that's how he is able to fly around. Like how Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were super fast at one point in Episode 1, and how Luke super jumped in Episode 5 when Vader tried to freeze him.
Some scenes of Anakin and Padme connecting had to be cut for time. It's unfortunate cause one of the biggest complaints people have about this movie is that their relationship doesn't feel natural, and those scenes would've maybe helped some. Like, there are a few scenes of them visiting Padme's home & family. You can find the deleted scenes with a quick search, if you wanna^.^
The Clone Wars show also helped flesh out their relationship~~~
20:10 I like how the shadow on the wall is foreshadowing Anakin's fate, it gives the sentence another whole meaning like he really is Anakin for the last time
Adding my voice to the 'you should watch the clone wars animated series' train. Much of what you said you wanted to see and explore is told best there (as its main function) and oddly enough it contains some of the best story and character writing in the Star Wars universe. I'd strongly advise watching it before Ep3. and I'll definitely be there for the reactions, but even if you watch it on your own, I think you'd love it.
P.S. You have a remarkably wholesome and friendly bunch of commentators on her @Nia Maki. Well done for attracting such a lovely crowd.
That’s awesome!!! I was looking for a series I could watch but most people recommended watching most movies before starting. I’d be happy to start clone wars!
@@NiaMakiReacts make sure it’s the clone wars animated series. The CG version is good but I feel the animated series does a better and quicker job of bridging the gap between episodes 2 and 3
@@NiaMakiReacts The clone wars (CGI series) takes place right after Attack of the Clones, and I feel like it makes the next movie feel even more powerful and emotional. Lot of seasons, most reactors don't do it, so maybe you can trail blaze :) Either way, welcome to Star Wars, hope you love your stay.
@@vaneagles2639 I was talking the CG one, though I loved both and that drawn one is much more concise. (Hand Drawn over CG any day, as a medium)
@@NiaMakiReacts you can watch CW now but you have to stop at least at the end of season 5 (in the chronological order list) before watching ep III. Otherwise too many spoilers in the last episodes.
They also introduced here uncle Owen and aunt Berú, who took care with Luke on episode IV.
Shmi was not the mother of Owen. Owen (and Beru) are the two who raised Luke (in that house). Owen was Lars son, but not from Shmi.
Jango wanted a clone for himself, because he was an orphan and family/clan meaning is very strong in mandalorian culture
That's why I love the Mandalorians.
3:53 This time jump makes Padmé a very mature 24 years old, while Anakin is still a Jedi Padawan and teenager at the age of 19.
4:16 "She hardly even _recognized_ me, Jar Jar."
Anakin, she recognized you the moment she laid _eyes_ on you.
"It's been ten years? She doesn't look that old". That's because ten years makes her 24. Anakin was 10 and Padme was 14 in Episode 1 ;)
Obi-Wan was 25 btw. That makes him 35 here.
Besides some of the acting and dialogue this movie ain’t that bad this has a good story, highly recommend reacting to clone wars amazing show
the stormtroppers you see in ep. 4,5,6 are not clones they are drafted/volunteer soldiers. also Anakin screams red flags in this movie mass murder approves of dictatorship. I am still so confused that Padme was like I gotta get me some of that action :P
The idea of Anakin on the droid assembly line being foreshadowing for Vader is hilarious to me.
3:47
So Anakin was 9 in Episode 1 and Padmé was 14. Episode 2 is 10 years in the future so he's 20 (he apparently turned 10, RIGHT after he joined) and Padmé is 24. Obi-Wan was 25, now he's 35. The reason why nobody aged except for Anakin is because they got all the same actors. Ewan only grew his beard out.
Notice that Yoda absorbed that last lighting shot from dooku. That charged Yoda like a battery.
Your the best reactor on YT right now. Edits are on point (smooth and not missing any key scenes), reactions are genuine, have pretty good foresight into what could be coming, and you cute as a button. Congrats!
Lol, it's hilarious to see you exasperated by the dialogue!
"He sounds like my toddler" - exactly!
Really enjoyed your review!!! Wait till you see episode III 😨
Love doesn't have to follow any rules sadly. Once it's got a hold of us we'll hold on to any tiny hope we can that it will work, somehow. Thanks for another great reaction. :)
Very true, the down fall for many 😂
Dooku was being honest with Obi-Wan. There's alot to Dooku you don't know, but he's not really an "Evil" guy. He's a guy who lost a lot, and lost his way a bit but was always trying to free the galaxy.
you must have missed some dialogue cues, Obi-wan say to anakin early in this movie "If you practiced your lightsaber technique as much as your wit you would rival master Yoda as a swordsman" , revealing the fact that Yoda is overall te best Lightsaber fighter among the Jedi
About the series, for more depth about the reationship Anakin/Padme and the friendship Anakin/Obi-Wan, you have to watch the animated serie Clone Wars, it's a really great show, even if there are some filler episodes in the first 2 seasons. And there is a fantastic character introduced in this serie...
And you make great reaction, and don't worry about overthinking, it's very pleasant to watch.
Don't worry if stuff in the prequels doesn't make sense to you, you're doing great with these reactions.
"I don't think it was a healthy relationship at all" - when the relationship so toxic the entire galaxy suffers lol
14:44 That's Boba Fett from the original trilogy. He's the bounty hunter from both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
I come back to this thought almost every time I think of this movie: In the original trilogy, the plot made sense to kids and adults could enjoy the humor. In the prequel trilogy, it's basically reversed: the plot makes sense to adults (and barely, sometimes!) and the humor is really geared towards kids.
Not that it was hard to follow at all, but mysteries are supposed to be confusing, aren't they?
34:02 This is where the fun begins! My man Yoda 🙏🏽
The goat!
This is where the fun begins 😏
26:38 so Palpatine’s true purpose is revealed in the next episode!! but in the mean time he wished to create division among the Star systems but incorporating Trade Federation's Nute Gunray, the Corporate Alliance's Passel Argente, the InterGalactic Banking Clan's San Hill, the Commerce Guild's Shu Mai, the Techno Union's Wat Tambor, promising them all great political influence/control within a new organisation which would replace the republic (obviously lie) Episode III is shockingly good 😨 .. in my opinion the best Star Wars movie in entire series!!!
The disapproving mom 🤣🤣🤣
10:44 You're on point here. And it's causing another issue. As someone who came so late/too old into the order, he was just different from the others, an outsider basically. He hadn't many friends, and to be the prodigy was no help as well in this regard.
I think you are one movie away from your most popular reaction video. I really love your channel. Been with you quite a while. I look forward to seeing your big finale next movie. Thank you for sharing your experiences. ~Love & respect.
31:50 Poor Boba. Well, he does become one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy in the future.
Poor baba indeed. I felt really bad for him
the reason yoda uses a cane most of the time but was super fast in the fight is becasue he is 875-878 years old here and needs a cane, but when he needs to fight someone, he is using the force to move and hwne he is done doing that, he retruns to just being his old (literally) self
@Nia Maki, the force can enhance the user's abilities, in yoda's case his advanced age and frailty.
17:17 Jango wanted to be a father, and have a legacy
Another fun reaction, thank you! You were right to be confused as Dooku used the truth to create mistrust with the Jedi. DARTH SIDIOUS just wanted to create a war for reasons that will be confirmed in the next movie.
There is a huge jump in time between episodes 1 and 2 , but there is a smaller jump between 2 and 3, and in between epsiode 2 and 3 is when the animated TV series CLONE WARS occurs. You DO NOT need to watch that series before you see episode 3, but I would recommend watching it before you decide to watch some of the other TV series like THE MADOLORIAN, and BOOK OF BOBA FETT, as some of the characters from that animated series will show up in the live tv series I just mentioned. Hope you decide to watch them later as they really help you immerse yourself more into the STAR WARS universe.
Can't wait for your next reaction! Keep smiling 👍😂
22:12 Anakin's first taste of the dark side.
@30:38 I thought this scene was epic. I was 11 years old hearing the music along with all the Jedi running towards the battle droids with their lightsabers drawn was insane to me. The prequels were something. Glad I was able to see them with my dad. We have watched every star wars movie released since Episode 1.
A young Rose Byrne is sitting near Padme. Jar Jar's detractors called him an "alien Step-in-Fetchit" in the year 2000.
20:26 Owen Lars was a young adult when his father Cliegg married Shmi Skywalker, a Mos Espa slave he'd purchased and then freed. After Tusken Raiders kidnapped Owen's stepmother.
Cant wait for the next movie!!
Hayden Christensen acted in the TV miniseries Love and Betrayal: The Mia Farrow Story. In the 1990's, Farrow found out Woody Allen and Soon Yi Previn "had a relationship".
love this one grew up watching it and love the clone troopers so much
Padme is 5 years older than Anakin. During the events of the Phantom Menace, she was 14 (yeah, she was elected as Queen at 14) and he was 9. During the Attack of the Clones they are 24 and 19.
Palpatine wanted both armys to help draw out potential threats of rebellion. The droid army exists to help him see who would oppose the Republic that he is shaping into the Empire. The Confederacy of Independant Systems (droid army) is a stronger Rebel Alliance with access to better weapons, more resources, and a manufactured army. The droid army was made to lose, and leaders of it (Dooku included) were enemies of the future Empire. That's why the rebels in the original trilogy are a smaller military force.
Owen Lars is the son of Cliegg Lars from a previous union, not the son of Shimi. That is why he says that he is Anakin's STEP-brother, not his HALF-brother. Owen and Beru Lars are the "Uncle Owen" and "Aunt Beru" raising Luke at the beginning of "Star Wars" who get BBQ'ed by the storm troopers looking for R2.
idk if you’ve watched ep III, i also think it would be a good a idea to watch at least some episodes of Clone Wars before (not in release order but in chronological order though)
17:12 Somehow I immediately recognized this as Obi-Wan's death sound from the Lego Star Wars videogame 💀
Seeing as people are already commenting on this, I might throw my hat into the ring. If you do decide to watch the CGI Clone Wars show (which I highly recommend), I personally think it's best watched after Revenge of the Sith. The reason is that while it does fill in the gaps between now and Revenge of the Sith, knowing how Revenge of the Sith ends going into the show adds this whole layer of insight and dread when you're watching the show.
The comparison that I use is that if you watch the show first, it's like watching the build up to a plane crash without realizing that's the end result, it's shocking and adds to a progression so you don't question it as you go. However if you watch Revenge of the Sith first, it's like knowing the plane crash has already happened and then you go back and see all the little decisions that led to it. We know what each of these decisions will lead to, and when something happens, we know why they made the choices that they did but we know how badly this is going to end and thus we feel this sense of dread as we get closer to the future we know is going to happen
Also, the discussion between the hand drawn and CGI shows, the CGI one is the one that's considered cannon. The hand drawn is still amazing but it does have a different storyline and the two shows do conflict with each other at points.
You 💯 should watch the clone wars series.
You’re right for being confused. There’s a lot going on, which is why Lucasfilm has to make several tv series to retcon and explain events lol.
The Naboo scene when Anakin and Padme kissing for the first time was filmed in Villa Di Balbianello in lake como Italy. I was there in March of 2018 visiting Europe but was raining in lake como and Villa di Balvianello was closed
23:43
This is where his journey towards the dark side began.
It began with Shimi's death
Then it lead to him killing the Tuscans
Then he made a public declaration of hate.
That is the precursor to Darth Vader.
So at the end there when Dooku talks to the emperor. Another jedi that looks like Yoda shows up and fights Dooku but is unfortunately killed trying to stop whats happening. She tried saving him but failed
16:50
She actually did try to free her, but that occurred in the comics.
Not sure if it was explained before but this is the reason the Jedi take their initiates ONLY as toddlers, why Yoda didn't want to train a 9 year old Anakin and a 22-year old Luke. They want them so young so they can condition them to not have attachments, mother, father, siblings and loved ones. If you have them in your life you will want to do anything to protect them. Including things you shouldn't.
Before you get into the Disney movies/series, it's important to note, that they're for all intents and purposes licensed fanfictions, because George Lucas didn't work on any of them. Just like how a cover of an album done by a different band, wouldn't be considered part of the discography of the original performers, even if the cover was produced by the rights holder to the album.
Episodes 1-6 and the 2008-2020 "The Clone Wars" series are what constitutes George Lucas's vision of Star Wars, the rest, good or bad are just covers based upon that vision. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy them, it's just something to keep in mind, that they are the visions of different artists.
Funny thing is that Count Dooku was actually telling Obi-Wan Kenobi the truth about Darth Sidious.
Anakin was on a mission this whole movie😂
And succeeded though!!!
"why did they just give us an army?" Youre about to find out lol
Anakin: "and then I went on a murderous rampage, killing many innocent!"
Padme: "ooh poor baby!"
Ofc the reality is more nuanced than this, but not THAT much more nuanced. *who could have possibly predicted Anakin could turn to the dark side after this?*
In real life, if a person tortures and kills my mother, and I get a gun and kill them, and then a whole bunch of uninvolved people, including children...I would be sent straight to jail, and quite rightly so.
Padme fought the Good Fight Up Until 16:59. That's When Anakin Got Her. She Couldn't help herself.
Yoda is very humble 😅
Lets goo! Someone should’ve said the ages last movie but here it is!!
Anakin 9 years old > 19 years old

26:48 "I'm too blinded by Anakin's _mom's_ death that, like... not that I don't care, but like... I can't be a Jedi."
Yeah. The Jedi initially come off as people to really _envy,_ just because they know how to do a lot of really cool stuff with _lightsabers_ and the _Force,_ but in time, you see the Jedi life as a bit of a mixed blessing.
The _Sith_ have it rough, because their every _action_ is dominated by _anger, hate_ and _rage._ But, really, the _Jedi_ have it kind of rough, _too._ They can't be _close_ to anyone, they can't form or have long-term _relationships,_ and although they learn to do a lot of cool things with the _Force,_ they dare not _appreciate_ them too much, because somehow, one way or another, that leads to the _Dark_ Side.
Star wars bounty hunter video game gives more insight on How jango was chosen to be the clone army template.
You asked if they were also clones in movies 4, 5, and 6. No they weren't. Later on, the Empire phased out the use of clones to switch to regular people conscripted from various planets. This transition is shown in the series The Bad Batch.
In the end, Anakin kept the promise he made at his mother's grave when he saved Luke from the Emperor
I love your implementation of commentary through text when editing. Narrating your thought and visualizing your confusion. LOL totally worked. great content.

Sometimes I wonder if the Trade Federation dome ships were modeled off of Spaceball City.
