I love when Bail Organa checks on the Jedi temple and the Clone trooper says “There’s been a Rebellion sir.” Not knowing that he is literally talking to one of the three founding members of the Rebellion in the future.
Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) first played that role in 1983 when he was 37 years old. George Lucas saw him in a play where he played a much older character. They had an interview, and he was cast. When Lucas went to make the prequels, he called McDiarmid and said “do you know anyone who wants to play an Emperor?” McDiarmid was about the right age to play the character at that time, and he still pops up here and there in newer Star Wars content. It’s a role he’s aged into. By the time we meet the Emperor in ROTJ, the character is about 90 years old. The actor is now almost 80 - he’s that good
One thing I love while watching all these new first time reactors of the prequels is how you're all able to pick up on a lot of the subtext. Like Anakin's emotional vulnerability, how Palpatine has been giving him the emotional validation that the Jedi weren't, the parallels of Anakin being freed by the Jedi from slavery only to become a slave to the Sith, Anakin's imprisonment by his bad choices literally being embodied by Darth Vader's constricting armour. You know, the things that all the "HARDCORE STAR WARS NERDS" completely missed when they were trashing the prequels when they first came out! It really shows how empathetic readings can be more important then analytical analysis.
Revenge of Sith is literally my favorite Star Wars film next to Return Of The Jedi . It's aged like fine ,sweet wine and it's John Williams at his finest! Loved your reaction to this!❤
The way Padme’s funeral theme turns into the Empire’s theme when the camera focuses on vader watching the death star is just… emotional wreckage lol. The music in this movie supplements the story so darn well that words cant describe how epic it is. Lovely reaction as always!!
Funny you mentioned nobody questioning Palpatine's face at the Senate because I made a joke once to my mom that Padme should have asked what was wrong with his face in front of the Senate. But then my mom said, "He'd would just publically ask her who her baby daddy is to shut her up" 🥴😆...
“There is no part of me that believes this is all from being zapped” I’ve watched many TH-camrs react to this movie as it’s my favorite one, and you’re the first person to say this. That is very perceptive! There is a fan theory floating around out there that Palpatine really does look like this but uses some sort of Dark Side Sith alchemy to present himself to the public as Senator Palpatine, but after this he drops the “cloak” and lets the public see him as he really is to really believe that the Jedi tried assassinating him
She's right. You can see his fingernails growing as he gets zapped. Lightning doesn't do that (and if it did, that would have happened to luke in ROTJ)
I love your insights about all this. Anakin told Padme "Love won't save you". Years later Luke put himself at risk so that ONLY the love of Anakin could save him. Excellent reaction to all of these - thanks! Would love to see you react to the Obi-Wan series too. :)
I must say that you brought me to tears with this reaction. I have always thought ROTS was Shakespearean level storytelling. Palpatine's plan was flawless. He played a war from both sides, took over the entire banking system, eliminated the only real opposition via those soldiers they trusted and set up his Empire uncontested. He was very patient. A total of thirteen years to achieve his end goals. Watching your reaction to him has been so much fun. I hope you will react to Rogue one next. It takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. And if you really want to dig into this story, watch the Clone Wars series. I'm along for the ride!!
33:14 I wish more reactors would consider this. Anakin essentially just ended the war that had nearly torn the galaxy asunder. He probably feels vindicated in his belief that the Dark Side is the only way to get shit done. In his mind, he's a war hero whose ends justified his means, ultimately saving the Republic from both within and out.
You have some surprisingly amazing insight into the psychology of Anakin Skywalker and how everything unfolded. I've seen a lot of Star Wars enthusiasts and people educated in philosophy break down and analyze the Star Wars movies. Your take seems more on point than all of them. I am impressed. Also, you are funny. You made me laugh a lot.
General Grievous is a modified Kaleesh, not a droid. But to be fair, I had to look that up a couple times since I watch this movie and the Clone Wars animated series.
Star Wars has always been very Shakespearean, IMO. On top of the parallels to Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet, Vader's fall is pretty similar to Macbeth's own fall from grace.
I always thought the story of Anakin's fall to the dark side was more similar to a Greek tragedy than Shakespearean play. It has all the themes 1, trying to prevent a prophecy brings it about 2, the tragic character is convinced they are doing the right thing or being helped and 3, the story ends with their tragic end or the consequences biting them in the butt and now they have to live in suffering.
In the Jedi temple scene, the kid's startled jump backwards was real. Hayden had screamed "BOO!!!" loudly, which wasn't in the script. As soon as they had the shot, he spent a lot of time with the kid and made sure he was OK. During editing, they removed the sound. At the exact second his body pulsed from the scream, they used CGI to activate his lightsaber, so it looks like he's powering it on angrily.
@@kahlareacts I think they are talking about the Novelization, which is just as good if not better than the movie. Obi-Wan even reveals that he know Anakin and Padme love each other to Padme, and that he pretends not to know (He doesn't know about the marriage or the babies though).
@@gabethebabe3337 If the volume's up loud enough, I can hear "Padme, help" right before the faceplate clicks on. I like that they carried that over to the movie.
12:28, heck in the novel they said Obi Wan kinda knew that Anakin and Padme were banging. But because it made Anakin happy, he turned a blind eyes He just didn’t know they were actually married.
"You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force... not leave it in darkness!" "I HATE YOU!" "You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" Fun Fact: The images of the volcanic eruption on Mustafar is real footage of Mt. Etna in Italy, which erupted at the time of production. Method Actor Fact: George Lucas deliberately made the Darth Vader suit top-heavy (for instance adding weight on the helmet) to make Hayden Christensen not appear "too accustomed" to it in the movie. 501st Legion Fact: The squadron of blue-striped clone troopers that Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) leads into the Jedi Temple is called the 501st Legion, named after an organization of costume fans, also known as Vader's Fist. They make appearances at conventions, parades, and do charity work. Action Star Fact: Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor began rehearsing their climactic lightsaber duel long before it was shot. They trained extensively with stunt coordinator Nick Gillard to memorize and perform their duel together. Ian McDiarmid is doubled by a trained stuntman for his lightsaber battles and more physically demanding shots, such as when Palpatine scrambles away from Mace Windu. As with Sir Christopher Lee, computer effects were used to put the actor's face over the face of the stunt double. McDiarmid stated in numerous interviews that he was pleased that his character, even if not himself personally, was finally involved in some action sequences. For the sword fight between Windu and Sidious, however, the demands for camera angles and close-ups meant that stunt coordinator Nick Gillard had to teach the two actors the entire fight sequence, which was then shot partly with the stunt performers, and partly with Samuel L. Jackson and McDiarmid.
The "romantic moments" in episode II are a bit not uderstandable, due to the deleted scenes that they cut. In the original footage you can see more of how the relationship grows. If you can take a look at these deleted scenes of Padme and Anakin, you will understand them quite more.
@@BennysGamingAttic But then they would have to delete some scenes to equal out the original runtime. Aside from maybe 1 scene, I can’t think of any other that isn’t important.
I love that you said that about Dooku, that he was just a plant to get to Anakin. In the book they made for the movie that's literally Dooku's last thoughts, lmao.
@27:00 That’s when Anakin became Darth Vader. The biomechanical suit he wears after his fight with Obi-Wan is necessary to keep him alive and ultimately helps make him into the Darth Vader we all know from the original trilogy.
Revenge Of The Sith is my absolute favorite out of the prequels. The double climactic lightsaber duel that takes place toward the end of the movie, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader VS Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar and Yoda VS Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant in the Senate chamber are top-notch across the board. Musical score, fight choreography, visual effects, audio effects and emotional impact. I give them all an A+.
A lot of people think Mace Windu is too mean to Anakin, but he honestly had the best approach to the prophesy out of any of the Jedi masters. Even if he thought Anakin was the chosen one, he treated him like any other Jedi recruit. Actually treating a chosen one like they are special will go to their head very quickly.
I love this story for the major themes. Like you said, it's an operatic high tragedy like Shakespeare. It is a story of warning for individuals and societies to show how something so evil like the empire comes about--slowly and carefully. Evil gains power often not by force, but by election or tolerance. So much to learn from this story.
Qui Gonn spirit taught Obi Wan to become a force ghost, (at the end of the movie Yoda said to Obi that someone returned from the netherworld of the force). In all those years in solitude in Tatooine Obi Wan learnt it. That´s why he told Vader in episode IV: "if you strike me down, I´ll become more powerful that you can possibly imagine".
When the emperor fights Yoda, he was literally drunk of power and how good his plan executed. Fighting Yoda was a kids game after everything he just accomplished.
The unfortunate part about anakin....is that he was a slave as a child....then after escaping that he became (somewhat) of a slave to the jedis teachings, which caused a bit of conflict when he fell in love with padme....and that....unfortunately led to him becoming a slave to the emperor....who specifically designed darth vaders suit to be incredibly vulnerable to force lightning. The only time when he was truly free was when he killed the emperor....and then dies after those few small moments of freedom.
Disney just needs to make a Vader series, from his start as Vader all the way to his death as Anakin Skywalker, of course we would want Hayden back but if he didn't want to do it I would understand but I think adapting some of the comics and even adding stuff if done properly could be a great series, or a Mace Windu series
@@JakNasty69 while i like that idea, that would probably be a bit complicated because they would have to be very delicate in order to not conflict with with anything involving the original trilogy.
@@thegaminglion90 I completely understand I wish they could just find some way to do it, I think Vader deserves more than just cameos or a side character, and Mace Windu sure as hell deserves a lot more
Palpatine’s age varies by two years depending on source material. In the old Legends series, he was 50 by the time of The Phantom Menace, 60 by Attack of the Clones, 63 here, 82 in A New Hope, 85 in The Empire Strikes Back and he was 86 by the time of his first death in Return of the Jedi. He was resurrected in younger clone bodies BEFORE Disney created the Sequel Trilogy, and suffered three more deaths, two at age 92 and the last at age 93. In the new Canon, Palpatine was 52 in TPM, 62 in AOTC, 65 in ROTS, 84 in ANH, 87 in TESB, 88 in ROTJ during his first death and by the time of Rise of Skywalker he was chronologically 119.
All three of the secondary antagonists of the prequels embody one aspect of Darth Vader. Maul is the sith apprentice groomed from a young age. Dooku is the fallen jedi. And Grievous is the cyborg military leader.
Palpatine was working Anakin from the beginning..... he's the one who had the sand people torture & kill his mom, he's the one who was sending the nightmares to Anakin about Padme dying, and then the blatant manipulation. If Palapatine were out of the equation, he would have probably still gone the same route (it would've taken longer) due to his lack of character. With great giftings, come great responsibilities. I've heard it quoted "If you have great gifts without character, your gifts will destroy you." this was another great reaction Kahla, thank you, keep them going!
He has too much character that's the issue. The jedi want you to be detached and feel nothing. Anakin feels everything like me or you and the Jedi are cold to him because of this. They also have always been biased against him because he was trained against their wish. I don't think Anakin would've turned to the dark side eventually as the only reason he went that way was because Padme impeding death. He probably would've left the jedi and gone rogue.
I'm a little late but thank you. So many people react to this and say Anakin was garbage. He wasn't. He had so much tearing him apart inside. People sometimes do terrible things when they have experienced so much pain. To me, Anakin is what Maguire's Spider-Man would have been if he didn't take the right path.
There's a scene that didn't make the movie where Ob-Wan tells Padme that he has known about her and Anakin for a very long time. He didn't say anything about it because she helped keep Anakin steady and happy. If Anakin would have gone to Obi-Wan for help and told the full truth, a lot of the bad would have been avoided.
I love how Luke and Leia have combinations of both parents in them. But if I had to decide which kids was most like one parent....I would say Leia is definitely Anakin's daughter and Luke is definitely Padme's son. Luke, like Padme, loves Anakin despite his obvious flaws. He sees the good in him and believes in him...even when Anakin doesn't believe in himself. Leia, like Anakin, is a natural leader and passionate. People gravitate to Leia and respect her...and she is fierce for those she loves. Yet she has a temper and quick wit. Forgives probably does not come easy to Leia because she is so passionate and kind...that when someone breaks her trust or hurts her emotinoally...I would say it would be wise to stay away from her.
I really like your commentaries. So many things I agree with and others I didn’t even see until you mentioned it. I truly enjoyed watching your reaction to Star Wars! Ankin’s story is so sad to me, I feel sorry for the little boy who was a slave and I also feel sorry to the young adult who was lost and unfortunately followed the wrong person because of fear and anger. He never got to be truly happy. This is my favorite movie out of all of the different Star Wars parts.
That first half hour or so was basically the blueprint for the Clone Wars animated series. The first two seasons are definitely more geared towards younger viewers, but it quickly starts ramping up and has definitely become my favorite piece of Star Wars media.
Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) became a writer and a script doctor later in her career. Her job was to take viable scripts, and clean up the dialogue to help the scenes land better. I heard she doctored the script for this film, but I can’t confirm it. It would make sense for why the dialogue works more than Episode 2 did, and it’s a nice full circle story too, if true. Maybe someone else can confirm that. I have loved your reactions, keep going!
Anakin grew up without knowing his father, he was a slave when he was young, he was separated from his mother to be freed from slavery, he has not seen his mother for a long time, his mother died in his arms, the jedi never believed in him and that's the reason why he made bad decisions
Seeing Anakin go to the dark side is so heartbreaking. You Know he's a good person deep down but his ability to fight through manipulation is weak and Palpatine knew that and took advantage of him. Poor Anakin thought he was doing the right thing and all he wanted to do was save Padme. I feel so bad for Anakin and obi wan.
The idea Padme is dying of a broken heart doesn't make any sense to me: she has two babies! She's not going to abandon them. The idea that Palpatine is taking her strength to keep Vader alive makes far more sense.
After seeing and hearing from obi wan what Ani has done broke her heart. She couldn't believe someone who protects others before himself would kill younglings and slaughter his comrades. Then when she seen him on mustofar she knew he was gone
Dying of a broken heart is real, and is grief that black & white. Depression isn't logical to most. Hell, I feel that's what happened to Debbie Reynolds when Carrie Fisher died. She told her son that she wanted to be with Carrie while they were doing funeral arrangements and she died only a few hours later, literally the day after Carrie's passing. Carrie wasn't just her daughter. That was her best friend. It may not make sense to some, but it's real...
@WJS774 For crying out loud, it's an actual thing. It's literally called "Broken Heart Syndrome". Or are you saying that the MEDICAL EXPERTS that have declared this are wrong? Do some research 🙄...
@WJS774 *sigh* It's literally called "Broken Heart Syndrom" and it's a real medical thing. But I guess you know more than medical professionals and years of research studies. Please actually research things before you try spout your ignorance around as "fact" 🙄...
I really like your reactions because you pay good attention to the movie and don't act. Just keep in mind that if you feel like crying but at the same time try not to, it'll have an effect on you. 🙏 This movie always makes me cry when I watch it and it did again here, it's really intense and a lot of feelings come up within me...🙏
General grievous weren't always a cyborg, Grievous was originally Qymaen jai Sheelal, an organic reptilian humanoid native from the planet Kalee. The Kaleesh were at war with the rival Huk species and Sheelal was considered a demigod by his people for his victories in the Huk War. He basically got very hurt in a shuttle crash, that was orchestrated by Count Dooku, just to blame it on the Jedi, so they basically took what was left of him, like organs n stuff and gave him a cyborg body, he was denied to be a jedi, because he lacked the ways of the force. at least what i found on Google, stil wish we could see more live action with him, before it happened.
Great observations! I think it was purposefully done to show that Luke could have fallen like Anakin did if he had taken the same choices. The two are meant to reflect each other, but we know that one of them made the wiser choice.
Time Code: 39:52 - greetings kahla, padmé did not die from child birth or a broken heart. force drain - the darkside ability to suck the lifeforce from others, to stay alive. this can be done, even millions of away from their victims, but it has to be someone a force user has a strong connection with. darth vader, unknowingly, did this with the "knowing" guidance of darth sidious, to padmé when she was giving birth to the twins & that is why she died... but it was not from a broken heart. This was the secret of darth plageus, "who had the ability to keep others from dying". force heal: luke skywalker does the opposite to his knights, if they are gravely injured or sick, on other planets, he can give them force energy, to stay alive, until that person can be treated. luke skywalker, of the new jedi order, is the only force user who can do this, because he's the most powerful force user, ever recorded in 10,000 year history of the jedi. this can be verified in the star wars novels & comics... before the Disney takeover.
It’s so refreshing watching someone so sincere go through Star Wars for the first time. Most of us have been here for a while and can get hyper fixated on one trilogy or disparaging of another. Thank you for bringing such a redemptive quality. Please do the sequels!
Anakin brought balance to the Force not by destroying the Jedi, but after he was redeemed by Luke by destroying the last remaining Sith lord Darth Sidious. Balance comes by destroying the Sith because the Sith throw the Force out of balance through their selfish use of the Force
Upon release of this film (19 years ago this May), many said(at release and in the years since) that Anakin's turn was too quick. I frequently say that Palpatine spent 13 years preparing Anakin to become Vader. The 3 years of the war are almost responsible as Sidious was. That Mustafar fight wasn't sped up. Ewan and Hayden were REALLY that fast(and if certain projects are any indication, those 2 haven't lost a step). ROTS is my favorite prequel film. Music, visuals, story.....all were and ARE incredible
Yoda is like 900 yrs old!! he's seen plenty of friends come and go.. He cannot expect Anakin to to be so nonchalant about like he is. that said? This is the how the Jedi are supposed to think, and Anakin knows this. He is usually good with other people dying, but Padme?? Nah..
"Droids not cough". Grievous in fact is not a droid, is a cyborg Kaleesh. Even if modified his only "living" parts are the eyes , the brain and the life organs kept inside the synthetic sack that Obi Wan shoots to kill him
This movie shows why Anakin had to wear his suit as Darth Vader. It wasn't just for looks, it was for survival. Take away the armor and life support systems, and he's a quadruple amputee with 4th degree burns (the kind that go all the way to the bone). Getting his limbs cut off was bad enough, but leaving him to burn to death is what truly sealed his hatred for Obi-Wan
Grevas is a cyborg, part droid part biological. Between movie episodes 2&3 watch the cartoon the Clone Wars and Tales of the Jedi. It expands on the story line. Maybe Star Rebles too. Then live action Ahsoka.
Actually none of those tell the full story. The Eyes of Revolution from Star Wars: Visionaries is the first full telling of how the Kaleesh warlord Qymaen jai Sheelal became a feared and deadly Jedi Killer. Put it simply, 10 or more years before the clone Wars, The Kaleesh and the Huk were at war. Through some manipulations Supreme Chancellor Velarium sent Jedi to assist the Huk without knowing they were the aggressors. The Kaleesh were all but wiped out and the Warlord tried to continue the fight. But Darth Sidious had a bomb planted on his ship. Sheelal's body was soo mangled that he needed a full body prothstetic to survive. Sidious told him the Jedi were responsible for his condition and offered him revenge by becoming The leader of a new droid army. Enraged Sheelal requested that he have a flexible combat oriented body that resembles the Kaleesh god or something like that. He killed his first victim at the First battle of Geonosis (Episode 2). But his first official appearance was in the 2003 Clone Wars micro series. Where he is absolutely terrifying.
Regarding General Grevious' organs-- You assumed in this reaction that they were not his, but in fact they are. Grevious is a cyborg. Grevious is actually an alien species called Kaleesh, where he was an accomplished war lord amongst his people. His people were at war with another race of aliens, this war was completely unrelated to the Clone Wars. However, eventually Dooku became aware of Grevious' abilities and accomplishments as a leader of war and wanted to take advantage of his skills. So, Dooku sabotaged Grevious' ship and Grevious nearly died in a vicious crash. This crash was so brutal and left him so disabled that, when Dooku's agents found him, they had to remove everything but his essential organs in order for him to survive. Thus, Grevious became a cyborg with a mostly robotic body. This also explains how he eventually became trained to effectively use lightsabers by Dooku, though it is important to note that Grevious is NOT a force user. He's just an impressively effective warrior and tactician. Hope this helps!! Awesome video
Having fun w/Boogers aside, you're definitely getting SW. "Cheek Bones" is Tarken from Episode 4. Your Shakespeare (Romeo & Juliet / Hamlet) comparisons are interesting. As is your analysis of Anakin (manipulated & a victim of others, but also victim also of his own choices, ambitions & limitations). Good u see fault on both sides (it's realistic). When Padme said in the Senate chamber "This is how Liberty Dies, w/Thunderous applause" - we can parallel wht's arguably happening in our own society (good Sci-Fi looks at the present to warn us of a possible future). In the fall of the Republic (like in our own Republic) we can see & blur Heroes & Villains on both sides (it's confusing). We hv manipulation (from both sides) in our society both dividing & against "the People." Episodes 1, 2 & 3 really looked at the Politics of SW. Looking fwd to your "Rogue One" reaction. Rogue One will really tie things together in the overall story arc (fills a cool gap).
When Anakin Confronts Palpatine, and Palpatine says, "Are you going to kill me?'" and Anakin replies, 'I would certainly like to." Well Anakin turned Darth Vader would get that chance under different circumstances some 20 years later, when he helped and protected his son Luke, throwing the emperor over the railing and down the shaft to his death. Why did Palpatine look at R2D2 as to say, '"if you beep another sound, I'm going to spit on you, you little piece of sh_t!"
You were right about Darth Plagueis, he was Sidious's master and he used the Force to conceive Anakin. Sidious killed him and took over his plans to use Anakin to create the Empire.
I don’t know if someone already told you this but when palpating said: henceforth you will be known as… Darht Vader. He actually search the dark side for a name. Or something like that I heard about it in a video that explained Star Wars things.:)
They also said she died with child. This is why when Darth Vader sent Boba Fett to find the Force user who destroyed the Death Star he was told it was a young kid named Luke Skywalker he was full of rage because he knew Palpatine had lied to him and that Luke Skywalker was his son. Darth Vader knew something because he was so caught up by THE POWER OF THE FORCE in this person that he didn't feel Han Solo coming. Darth Vader was stun by the Power of this Force user.
Well now you've finally seen how Anakin became Darth Vader! As I've said if Qui-Gon Jinn hadn't died in the first place none of this would've happened. He would've trained Anakin the right way and kept him on the straight and narrow in being a Jedi. He also would've supported Anakin's feelings for Padme too and helped him to save and free his mother as well. By the way a lot more has happened after Ep2 and before THIS movie if you watch "Star Wars: Clone Wars 2003" and "The Clone Wars Series"!
To answer your question about Palpatine's face turning all messed up. You are correct that IS his TRUE appearance. Even though Sheev (his first name) Palpatine is a human, when someone is deep into using the Dark side, it turns their physical appearance into something horrible and monstrous. However he had been using Sith sorcery to alter his appearance making him look like a harmless old man. His face changed because he was using so much power shooting Dark sude lightning at Mace Windu that he couldn't maintain the "Force mask" and sumce he had already been exposed as a Sith lord, he also probably figured it was no longer necessary to alter his true appearance. Hope that answered your question
Say what you want about Palpatine, but the man is an evil mastermind who's always three steps ahead of any of his enemies. He told Anikan the story of Darth Plagiious the Wise, because he was his apprentice who killed him in his sleep. Remember Shmi Skywalker told Qui-Gon that she didn't know how she got pregnant, Palpatine had a hand in that, that's why he said "I'll watch your career with great interest" in Episode 1. He was gaining more power as the war kept going, because Sith get more powerful with fear, anger and hate, so what better way to gain greater power in the Force and annihilating his enemies (Jedi) at the same time. The Clone Wars series makes Order 66 feel a lot sadder, because the Jedi fought side by side with the Clones who were like brothers to them.
My obi ani is getting really fast irl and I’m starting to combo it together 🔥 Team Jedi forever I love the defense fighting form obi wan uses It’s my life long dream to be a Jedi my favorite is Luke skywalker/mark hamill he really inspires me, I’m also force sensitive in real life and I study the force in real life it’s real
its pretty clear that palpatine has been using the dark side to mask his true form and has always looked like that. the dark side effectively rots and decays you
It doesn't affect everyone the same way. The witches generally channel the dark side of the force for their magic but maybe that manifests itself differently
I always thought that. It would make so much sense that he would shroud his true appearance until the very end. If that was the case then why not continue with that charade? My thoughts on this are either he couldn't or he didn't need to bother once his plan was fulfilled.
In the novel, Darth Plageus, we learn the Force created Anakin in response the the experiments of the Sith. That novel isn't canon according to Disney but it's quite good.
44:41 Yes! This is something that stories and games set to the old republic era bring up. The Jedi definitely were not a perfect organization and they have some things common with the Sith.
I love when Bail Organa checks on the Jedi temple and the Clone trooper says “There’s been a Rebellion sir.” Not knowing that he is literally talking to one of the three founding members of the Rebellion in the future.
“I’d ask if he’s ok but you don’t cough like that if you fine”😂😂😂
I love this chick 😂😂😂
Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) first played that role in 1983 when he was 37 years old. George Lucas saw him in a play where he played a much older character. They had an interview, and he was cast. When Lucas went to make the prequels, he called McDiarmid and said “do you know anyone who wants to play an Emperor?” McDiarmid was about the right age to play the character at that time, and he still pops up here and there in newer Star Wars content. It’s a role he’s aged into. By the time we meet the Emperor in ROTJ, the character is about 90 years old. The actor is now almost 80 - he’s that good
That’s why I like about Ian McDiarmid as darth sidious.
This was his movie
Ian is the goat. The story is about Anakin but Sheev is the most interesting character. The perfect villain.
@@Sandlund93agreed
"The truth of you, now and forever more will be Sidious."

'Oh, there's Cheekbones again.'
First reaction to this I've ever seen where someone acknowledges Tarkin's appearance.
Eric from Blind Wave mentions it.
“Ooh, triggered” when Anakin is denied the rank of master 😂😂😂
I’m fkn dead
"Master Windu, tell me a joke."
"The rank of Master."
"I don't get it."
"No, you don't."
"..."
"Take a seat."
One thing I love while watching all these new first time reactors of the prequels is how you're all able to pick up on a lot of the subtext. Like Anakin's emotional vulnerability, how Palpatine has been giving him the emotional validation that the Jedi weren't, the parallels of Anakin being freed by the Jedi from slavery only to become a slave to the Sith, Anakin's imprisonment by his bad choices literally being embodied by Darth Vader's constricting armour.
You know, the things that all the "HARDCORE STAR WARS NERDS" completely missed when they were trashing the prequels when they first came out! It really shows how empathetic readings can be more important then analytical analysis.
Revenge of Sith is literally my favorite Star Wars film next to Return Of The Jedi . It's aged like fine ,sweet wine and it's John Williams at his finest! Loved your reaction to this!❤
The way Padme’s funeral theme turns into the Empire’s theme when the camera focuses on vader watching the death star is just… emotional wreckage lol. The music in this movie supplements the story so darn well that words cant describe how epic it is. Lovely reaction as always!!
Funny you mentioned nobody questioning Palpatine's face at the Senate because I made a joke once to my mom that Padme should have asked what was wrong with his face in front of the Senate. But then my mom said, "He'd would just publically ask her who her baby daddy is to shut her up" 🥴😆...
W mom
😆 Dang
“There is no part of me that believes this is all from being zapped”
I’ve watched many TH-camrs react to this movie as it’s my favorite one, and you’re the first person to say this. That is very perceptive! There is a fan theory floating around out there that Palpatine really does look like this but uses some sort of Dark Side Sith alchemy to present himself to the public as Senator Palpatine, but after this he drops the “cloak” and lets the public see him as he really is to really believe that the Jedi tried assassinating him
I was genuinely shocked when she said that. That’s like DEEP Star Wars theory lol
She's right. You can see his fingernails growing as he gets zapped. Lightning doesn't do that (and if it did, that would have happened to luke in ROTJ)
When he said “I’ll do everything you ask. Just help me save padme” I wanted to cry🤧
I love your insights about all this. Anakin told Padme "Love won't save you". Years later Luke put himself at risk so that ONLY the love of Anakin could save him. Excellent reaction to all of these - thanks! Would love to see you react to the Obi-Wan series too. :)
I must say that you brought me to tears with this reaction. I have always thought ROTS was Shakespearean level storytelling. Palpatine's plan was flawless. He played a war from both sides, took over the entire banking system, eliminated the only real opposition via those soldiers they trusted and set up his Empire uncontested. He was very patient. A total of thirteen years to achieve his end goals. Watching your reaction to him has been so much fun. I hope you will react to Rogue one next. It takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. And if you really want to dig into this story, watch the Clone Wars series. I'm along for the ride!!
33:14 I wish more reactors would consider this. Anakin essentially just ended the war that had nearly torn the galaxy asunder. He probably feels vindicated in his belief that the Dark Side is the only way to get shit done. In his mind, he's a war hero whose ends justified his means, ultimately saving the Republic from both within and out.
You have some surprisingly amazing insight into the psychology of Anakin Skywalker and how everything unfolded. I've seen a lot of Star Wars enthusiasts and people educated in philosophy break down and analyze the Star Wars movies. Your take seems more on point than all of them. I am impressed.
Also, you are funny. You made me laugh a lot.
Gen. Grievous is a cyborg. Living parts inside a droid shell.
Yes, I'd even add that he is from an alien species know as the Kaleesh, they're normally not cyborgs
"Yeah, but he was an unarmed prisoner."
Uh, yeah, because you cut off his arms. He was plenty armed before you did that.
General Grievous is a modified Kaleesh, not a droid. But to be fair, I had to look that up a couple times since I watch this movie and the Clone Wars animated series.
Me too
Star Wars has always been very Shakespearean, IMO. On top of the parallels to Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet, Vader's fall is pretty similar to Macbeth's own fall from grace.
I always thought the story of Anakin's fall to the dark side was more similar to a Greek tragedy than Shakespearean play. It has all the themes 1, trying to prevent a prophecy brings it about 2, the tragic character is convinced they are doing the right thing or being helped and 3, the story ends with their tragic end or the consequences biting them in the butt and now they have to live in suffering.
In the Jedi temple scene, the kid's startled jump backwards was real. Hayden had screamed "BOO!!!" loudly, which wasn't in the script. As soon as they had the shot, he spent a lot of time with the kid and made sure he was OK.
During editing, they removed the sound. At the exact second his body pulsed from the scream, they used CGI to activate his lightsaber, so it looks like he's powering it on angrily.
40:37 He's not wheezing, he says "Padme, help me." I didnt know this for nearly 20 years.
Wait, really?!? That makes that moment so much sadder
@@kahlareacts I think they are talking about the Novelization, which is just as good if not better than the movie. Obi-Wan even reveals that he know Anakin and Padme love each other to Padme, and that he pretends not to know (He doesn't know about the marriage or the babies though).
@@gabethebabe3337 If the volume's up loud enough, I can hear "Padme, help" right before the faceplate clicks on. I like that they carried that over to the movie.
I also watched this as a grown up and it stood the test of time. It was the saddest. I thought they were all so amazing.
12:28, heck in the novel they said Obi Wan kinda knew that Anakin and Padme were banging. But because it made Anakin happy, he turned a blind eyes
He just didn’t know they were actually married.
Such a Bro
There's actually a deleted scene depicting that.
"You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force... not leave it in darkness!"
"I HATE YOU!"
"You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!"
Fun Fact: The images of the volcanic eruption on Mustafar is real footage of Mt. Etna in Italy, which erupted at the time of production.
Method Actor Fact: George Lucas deliberately made the Darth Vader suit top-heavy (for instance adding weight on the helmet) to make Hayden Christensen not appear "too accustomed" to it in the movie.
501st Legion Fact: The squadron of blue-striped clone troopers that Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) leads into the Jedi Temple is called the 501st Legion, named after an organization of costume fans, also known as Vader's Fist. They make appearances at conventions, parades, and do charity work.
Action Star Fact: Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor began rehearsing their climactic lightsaber duel long before it was shot. They trained extensively with stunt coordinator Nick Gillard to memorize and perform their duel together. Ian McDiarmid is doubled by a trained stuntman for his lightsaber battles and more physically demanding shots, such as when Palpatine scrambles away from Mace Windu. As with Sir Christopher Lee, computer effects were used to put the actor's face over the face of the stunt double. McDiarmid stated in numerous interviews that he was pleased that his character, even if not himself personally, was finally involved in some action sequences. For the sword fight between Windu and Sidious, however, the demands for camera angles and close-ups meant that stunt coordinator Nick Gillard had to teach the two actors the entire fight sequence, which was then shot partly with the stunt performers, and partly with Samuel L. Jackson and McDiarmid.
💯💚
The "romantic moments" in episode II are a bit not uderstandable, due to the deleted scenes that they cut. In the original footage you can see more of how the relationship grows. If you can take a look at these deleted scenes of Padme and Anakin, you will understand them quite more.
I wish they kept those in. They're so good, in my opinion.
@@BennysGamingAttic
But then they would have to delete some scenes to equal out the original runtime.
Aside from maybe 1 scene, I can’t think of any other that isn’t important.
I love that you said that about Dooku, that he was just a plant to get to Anakin. In the book they made for the movie that's literally Dooku's last thoughts, lmao.
@27:00 That’s when Anakin became Darth Vader. The biomechanical suit he wears after his fight with Obi-Wan is necessary to keep him alive and ultimately helps make him into the Darth Vader we all know from the original trilogy.
Revenge Of The Sith is my absolute favorite out of the prequels. The double climactic lightsaber duel that takes place toward the end of the movie, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader VS Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar and Yoda VS Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant in the Senate chamber are top-notch across the board. Musical score, fight choreography, visual effects, audio effects and emotional impact. I give them all an A+.
thanks for understanding star wars and anakin's story arc
Mace Windu *knew* that boy was sus!
A lot of people think Mace Windu is too mean to Anakin, but he honestly had the best approach to the prophesy out of any of the Jedi masters. Even if he thought Anakin was the chosen one, he treated him like any other Jedi recruit. Actually treating a chosen one like they are special will go to their head very quickly.
I love this story for the major themes. Like you said, it's an operatic high tragedy like Shakespeare. It is a story of warning for individuals and societies to show how something so evil like the empire comes about--slowly and carefully. Evil gains power often not by force, but by election or tolerance. So much to learn from this story.
Yup. My favorite of the prequel series. Anakin was so flawed but so good. His flaws consumed him.
So is my brother.
Qui Gonn spirit taught Obi Wan to become a force ghost, (at the end of the movie Yoda said to Obi that someone returned from the netherworld of the force). In all those years in solitude in Tatooine Obi Wan learnt it. That´s why he told Vader in episode IV: "if you strike me down, I´ll become more powerful that you can possibly imagine".
Makes sense
When the emperor fights Yoda, he was literally drunk of power and how good his plan executed. Fighting Yoda was a kids game after everything he just accomplished.
Yeah Sidious was on that "hold you by the head to watch your arms swinging" energy
The unfortunate part about anakin....is that he was a slave as a child....then after escaping that he became (somewhat) of a slave to the jedis teachings, which caused a bit of conflict when he fell in love with padme....and that....unfortunately led to him becoming a slave to the emperor....who specifically designed darth vaders suit to be incredibly vulnerable to force lightning. The only time when he was truly free was when he killed the emperor....and then dies after those few small moments of freedom.
Disney just needs to make a Vader series, from his start as Vader all the way to his death as Anakin Skywalker, of course we would want Hayden back but if he didn't want to do it I would understand but I think adapting some of the comics and even adding stuff if done properly could be a great series, or a Mace Windu series
@@JakNasty69 while i like that idea, that would probably be a bit complicated because they would have to be very delicate in order to not conflict with with anything involving the original trilogy.
@@thegaminglion90 I completely understand I wish they could just find some way to do it, I think Vader deserves more than just cameos or a side character, and Mace Windu sure as hell deserves a lot more
Palpatine’s age varies by two years depending on source material. In the old Legends series, he was 50 by the time of The Phantom Menace, 60 by Attack of the Clones, 63 here, 82 in A New Hope, 85 in The Empire Strikes Back and he was 86 by the time of his first death in Return of the Jedi. He was resurrected in younger clone bodies BEFORE Disney created the Sequel Trilogy, and suffered three more deaths, two at age 92 and the last at age 93.
In the new Canon, Palpatine was 52 in TPM, 62 in AOTC, 65 in ROTS, 84 in ANH, 87 in TESB, 88 in ROTJ during his first death and by the time of Rise of Skywalker he was chronologically 119.
The general is a cyborg. He was once fully organic. He was severely injured. Vader was given similar cybernetics
All three of the secondary antagonists of the prequels embody one aspect of Darth Vader. Maul is the sith apprentice groomed from a young age. Dooku is the fallen jedi. And Grievous is the cyborg military leader.
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to the Dark Side"
Your insight into movies is PHENOMENAL! It took me MULTIPLE viewings to pick up all the nuance!I just adore you!
Palpatine was working Anakin from the beginning..... he's the one who had the sand people torture & kill his mom, he's the one who was sending the nightmares to Anakin about Padme dying, and then the blatant manipulation. If Palapatine were out of the equation, he would have probably still gone the same route (it would've taken longer) due to his lack of character. With great giftings, come great responsibilities. I've heard it quoted "If you have great gifts without character, your gifts will destroy you." this was another great reaction Kahla, thank you, keep them going!
If Qui Gon taught Anakin there is no way Anakin goes down this path
That is literally a fan theory..Palpatine had nothing to do with The Sand People kidnapping Shmi..Not sure why fans believe that.
Dr. Sidious was Shmi's gyno.
Sick bastid.
He has too much character that's the issue. The jedi want you to be detached and feel nothing. Anakin feels everything like me or you and the Jedi are cold to him because of this. They also have always been biased against him because he was trained against their wish. I don't think Anakin would've turned to the dark side eventually as the only reason he went that way was because Padme impeding death. He probably would've left the jedi and gone rogue.
@LMaximus904 qui gon could have trained him and had him mentally ready. Obi was was a brother but not the father figure he needed
Seeing that Opera scene in the theater for the first time was incredible
Your reactions to Star Wars films are top tier! Especially the Shakespeare references. If you don’t watch the Obi-Wan series, ISTG….
The irony that he did it to save her and it actually is what led to her death
This movie saved the whole trilogy for me. Glad you´re reacted to it, was a fun ride :)
Hi Kahla. I've really enjoyed your SW journey & reactions. "What Droids have Eye Buggers?" OMG, I love it!!! :)
I'm a little late but thank you. So many people react to this and say Anakin was garbage. He wasn't. He had so much tearing him apart inside. People sometimes do terrible things when they have experienced so much pain. To me, Anakin is what Maguire's Spider-Man would have been if he didn't take the right path.
There's a scene that didn't make the movie where Ob-Wan tells Padme that he has known about her and Anakin for a very long time. He didn't say anything about it because she helped keep Anakin steady and happy. If Anakin would have gone to Obi-Wan for help and told the full truth, a lot of the bad would have been avoided.
What a pleasant reaction!
Had a great time. Thanks!
I love how Luke and Leia have combinations of both parents in them. But if I had to decide which kids was most like one parent....I would say Leia is definitely Anakin's daughter and Luke is definitely Padme's son.
Luke, like Padme, loves Anakin despite his obvious flaws. He sees the good in him and believes in him...even when Anakin doesn't believe in himself.
Leia, like Anakin, is a natural leader and passionate. People gravitate to Leia and respect her...and she is fierce for those she loves. Yet she has a temper and quick wit. Forgives probably does not come easy to Leia because she is so passionate and kind...that when someone breaks her trust or hurts her emotinoally...I would say it would be wise to stay away from her.
I really like your commentaries. So many things I agree with and others I didn’t even see until you mentioned it. I truly enjoyed watching your reaction to Star Wars! Ankin’s story is so sad to me, I feel sorry for the little boy who was a slave and I also feel sorry to the young adult who was lost and unfortunately followed the wrong person because of fear and anger. He never got to be truly happy. This is my favorite movie out of all of the different Star Wars parts.
That first half hour or so was basically the blueprint for the Clone Wars animated series. The first two seasons are definitely more geared towards younger viewers, but it quickly starts ramping up and has definitely become my favorite piece of Star Wars media.
In short Grievous is a cyborg that got his lungs crushed by Windu offscreen, the reason for his cough.
Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) became a writer and a script doctor later in her career. Her job was to take viable scripts, and clean up the dialogue to help the scenes land better. I heard she doctored the script for this film, but I can’t confirm it. It would make sense for why the dialogue works more than Episode 2 did, and it’s a nice full circle story too, if true. Maybe someone else can confirm that. I have loved your reactions, keep going!
I didn’t know she was a script doctor, but I know she’s a writer.
Anakin grew up without knowing his father, he was a slave when he was young, he was separated from his mother to be freed from slavery, he has not seen his mother for a long time, his mother died in his arms, the jedi never believed in him and that's the reason why he made bad decisions
Anakin's father, is the Force itself.
I really enjoyed this reaction! Thank you!
Seeing Anakin go to the dark side is so heartbreaking. You Know he's a good person deep down but his ability to fight through manipulation is weak and Palpatine knew that and took advantage of him. Poor Anakin thought he was doing the right thing and all he wanted to do was save Padme. I feel so bad for Anakin and obi wan.
@@WJS774 well true, but still he was manipulated, I still feel bad for him.
there is a point once you cross u aint coming back.... he literally killed kids in the temple.....
27:00 Exactly! He became a slave again. It's a horrible loop back to slavery,.
The idea Padme is dying of a broken heart doesn't make any sense to me: she has two babies! She's not going to abandon them. The idea that Palpatine is taking her strength to keep Vader alive makes far more sense.
After seeing and hearing from obi wan what Ani has done broke her heart. She couldn't believe someone who protects others before himself would kill younglings and slaughter his comrades. Then when she seen him on mustofar she knew he was gone
Dying of a broken heart is real, and is grief that black & white. Depression isn't logical to most. Hell, I feel that's what happened to Debbie Reynolds when Carrie Fisher died. She told her son that she wanted to be with Carrie while they were doing funeral arrangements and she died only a few hours later, literally the day after Carrie's passing. Carrie wasn't just her daughter. That was her best friend. It may not make sense to some, but it's real...
@WJS774 For crying out loud, it's an actual thing. It's literally called "Broken Heart Syndrome". Or are you saying that the MEDICAL EXPERTS that have declared this are wrong? Do some research 🙄...
@WJS774 *sigh* It's literally called "Broken Heart Syndrom" and it's a real medical thing. But I guess you know more than medical professionals and years of research studies. Please actually research things before you try spout your ignorance around as "fact" 🙄...
@@WJS774 Because of the EMOTIONAL STRESS from losing her daughter. I gotta spell it out for you🤦🏾♀️...
I really like your reactions because you pay good attention to the movie and don't act. Just keep in mind that if you feel like crying but at the same time try not to, it'll have an effect on you. 🙏 This movie always makes me cry when I watch it and it did again here, it's really intense and a lot of feelings come up within me...🙏
General grievous weren't always a cyborg, Grievous was originally Qymaen jai Sheelal, an organic reptilian humanoid native from the planet Kalee. The Kaleesh were at war with the rival Huk species and Sheelal was considered a demigod by his people for his victories in the Huk War. He basically got very hurt in a shuttle crash, that was orchestrated by Count Dooku, just to blame it on the Jedi, so they basically took what was left of him, like organs n stuff and gave him a cyborg body, he was denied to be a jedi, because he lacked the ways of the force. at least what i found on Google, stil wish we could see more live action with him, before it happened.
Great observations! I think it was purposefully done to show that Luke could have fallen like Anakin did if he had taken the same choices. The two are meant to reflect each other, but we know that one of them made the wiser choice.
Time Code: 39:52 - greetings kahla, padmé did not die from child birth or a broken heart.
force drain - the darkside ability to suck the lifeforce from others, to stay alive.
this can be done, even millions of away from their victims, but it has to be someone a force user has a strong connection with.
darth vader, unknowingly, did this with the "knowing" guidance of darth sidious, to padmé when she was giving birth to the twins & that is why she died... but it was not from a broken heart.
This was the secret of darth plageus, "who had the ability to keep others from dying".
force heal: luke skywalker does the opposite to his knights, if they are gravely injured or sick, on other planets, he can give them force energy, to stay alive, until that person can be treated.
luke skywalker, of the new jedi order, is the only force user who can do this, because he's the most powerful force user, ever recorded in 10,000 year history of the jedi.
this can be verified in the star wars novels & comics... before the Disney takeover.
Indeed
It’s so refreshing watching someone so sincere go through Star Wars for the first time. Most of us have been here for a while and can get hyper fixated on one trilogy or disparaging of another. Thank you for bringing such a redemptive quality. Please do the sequels!
The sequels are not particularly good. Especially once they started purposely destroying the legacy of the former protagonists like Luke and Han.
The only one of the new movies that is good is Rogue One.
Best reaction to this movie I've seen. You pick up on a lot of things others missed
Great reaction and insight into characters!
Anakin brought balance to the Force not by destroying the Jedi, but after he was redeemed by Luke by destroying the last remaining Sith lord Darth Sidious. Balance comes by destroying the Sith because the Sith throw the Force out of balance through their selfish use of the Force
He never said he could teach this power, he didn't exactly lie about it, from a certain point of view.
Upon release of this film (19 years ago this May), many said(at release and in the years since) that Anakin's turn was too quick. I frequently say that Palpatine spent 13 years preparing Anakin to become Vader. The 3 years of the war are almost responsible as Sidious was. That Mustafar fight wasn't sped up. Ewan and Hayden were REALLY that fast(and if certain projects are any indication, those 2 haven't lost a step). ROTS is my favorite prequel film. Music, visuals, story.....all were and ARE incredible
No, that's not Palpatine's "true face". He is a human being. As you saw, the force lightning bounced back on him and disfigured his face.
Yoda is like 900 yrs old!! he's seen plenty of friends come and go.. He cannot expect Anakin to to be so nonchalant about like he is.
that said? This is the how the Jedi are supposed to think, and Anakin knows this. He is usually good with other people dying, but Padme?? Nah..
"Droids not cough". Grievous in fact is not a droid, is a cyborg Kaleesh. Even if modified his only "living" parts are the eyes , the brain and the life organs kept inside the synthetic sack that Obi Wan shoots to kill him
great reaction babe
Even being despicable, and so many decisions from his chair, he is also one of the best, if not the best swordsman of all time.
Vader went through the surgeries without anesthesia. Sidious wanted Vader to use his anger to suppress the pain.
23:10 Grievous is a Kaleesh Cyborg, so everything organic you see actually is his.
Palpatine had basically been grooming Anakin since Episode 1.
Palpatine is a predator working on Anakin for soooo many years.
This movie shows why Anakin had to wear his suit as Darth Vader. It wasn't just for looks, it was for survival. Take away the armor and life support systems, and he's a quadruple amputee with 4th degree burns (the kind that go all the way to the bone). Getting his limbs cut off was bad enough, but leaving him to burn to death is what truly sealed his hatred for Obi-Wan
Grevas is a cyborg, part droid part biological. Between movie episodes 2&3 watch the cartoon the Clone Wars and Tales of the Jedi. It expands on the story line. Maybe Star Rebles too. Then live action Ahsoka.
Actually none of those tell the full story. The Eyes of Revolution from Star Wars: Visionaries is the first full telling of how the Kaleesh warlord Qymaen jai Sheelal became a feared and deadly Jedi Killer.
Put it simply, 10 or more years before the clone Wars, The Kaleesh and the Huk were at war. Through some manipulations Supreme Chancellor Velarium sent Jedi to assist the Huk without knowing they were the aggressors. The Kaleesh were all but wiped out and the Warlord tried to continue the fight. But Darth Sidious had a bomb planted on his ship. Sheelal's body was soo mangled that he needed a full body prothstetic to survive. Sidious told him the Jedi were responsible for his condition and offered him revenge by becoming The leader of a new droid army. Enraged Sheelal requested that he have a flexible combat oriented body that resembles the Kaleesh god or something like that. He killed his first victim at the First battle of Geonosis (Episode 2). But his first official appearance was in the 2003 Clone Wars micro series. Where he is absolutely terrifying.
Regarding General Grevious' organs--
You assumed in this reaction that they were not his, but in fact they are. Grevious is a cyborg. Grevious is actually an alien species called Kaleesh, where he was an accomplished war lord amongst his people. His people were at war with another race of aliens, this war was completely unrelated to the Clone Wars.
However, eventually Dooku became aware of Grevious' abilities and accomplishments as a leader of war and wanted to take advantage of his skills. So, Dooku sabotaged Grevious' ship and Grevious nearly died in a vicious crash. This crash was so brutal and left him so disabled that, when Dooku's agents found him, they had to remove everything but his essential organs in order for him to survive. Thus, Grevious became a cyborg with a mostly robotic body.
This also explains how he eventually became trained to effectively use lightsabers by Dooku, though it is important to note that Grevious is NOT a force user. He's just an impressively effective warrior and tactician.
Hope this helps!! Awesome video
Having fun w/Boogers aside, you're definitely getting SW. "Cheek Bones" is Tarken from Episode 4. Your Shakespeare (Romeo & Juliet / Hamlet) comparisons are interesting. As is your analysis of Anakin (manipulated & a victim of others, but also victim also of his own choices, ambitions & limitations). Good u see fault on both sides (it's realistic). When Padme said in the Senate chamber "This is how Liberty Dies, w/Thunderous applause" - we can parallel wht's arguably happening in our own society (good Sci-Fi looks at the present to warn us of a possible future). In the fall of the Republic (like in our own Republic) we can see & blur Heroes & Villains on both sides (it's confusing). We hv manipulation (from both sides) in our society both dividing & against "the People." Episodes 1, 2 & 3 really looked at the Politics of SW. Looking fwd to your "Rogue One" reaction. Rogue One will really tie things together in the overall story arc (fills a cool gap).
I love your Shakespeare reference
When Anakin Confronts Palpatine, and Palpatine says, "Are you going to kill me?'" and Anakin replies, 'I would certainly like to." Well Anakin turned Darth Vader would get that chance under different circumstances some 20 years later, when he helped and protected his son Luke, throwing the emperor over the railing and down the shaft to his death. Why did Palpatine look at R2D2 as to say, '"if you beep another sound, I'm going to spit on you, you little piece of sh_t!"
You were right about Darth Plagueis, he was Sidious's master and he used the Force to conceive Anakin. Sidious killed him and took over his plans to use Anakin to create the Empire.
I don’t know if someone already told you this but when palpating said: henceforth you will be known as… Darht Vader. He actually search the dark side for a name. Or something like that I heard about it in a video that explained Star Wars things.:)
I hope you eventually do Obi-Wan to see the “talk” between Obi-Wan & Anakin
They also said she died with child. This is why when Darth Vader sent Boba Fett to find the Force user who destroyed the Death Star he was told it was a young kid named Luke Skywalker he was full of rage because he knew Palpatine had lied to him and that Luke Skywalker was his son. Darth Vader knew something because he was so caught up by THE POWER OF THE FORCE in this person that he didn't feel Han Solo coming. Darth Vader was stun by the Power of this Force user.
Search your feelings, Kahla, you _know_ it to be true! 😆
Well now you've finally seen how Anakin became Darth Vader! As I've said if Qui-Gon Jinn hadn't died in the first place none of this would've happened. He would've trained Anakin the right way and kept him on the straight and narrow in being a Jedi. He also would've supported Anakin's feelings for Padme too and helped him to save and free his mother as well.
By the way a lot more has happened after Ep2 and before THIS movie if you watch "Star Wars: Clone Wars 2003" and "The Clone Wars Series"!
To answer your question about Palpatine's face turning all messed up. You are correct that IS his TRUE appearance. Even though Sheev (his first name) Palpatine is a human, when someone is deep into using the Dark side, it turns their physical appearance into something horrible and monstrous. However he had been using Sith sorcery to alter his appearance making him look like a harmless old man. His face changed because he was using so much power shooting Dark sude lightning at Mace Windu that he couldn't maintain the "Force mask" and sumce he had already been exposed as a Sith lord, he also probably figured it was no longer necessary to alter his true appearance. Hope that answered your question
Say what you want about Palpatine, but the man is an evil mastermind who's always three steps ahead of any of his enemies. He told Anikan the story of Darth Plagiious the Wise, because he was his apprentice who killed him in his sleep. Remember Shmi Skywalker told Qui-Gon that she didn't know how she got pregnant, Palpatine had a hand in that, that's why he said "I'll watch your career with great interest" in Episode 1. He was gaining more power as the war kept going, because Sith get more powerful with fear, anger and hate, so what better way to gain greater power in the Force and annihilating his enemies (Jedi) at the same time. The Clone Wars series makes Order 66 feel a lot sadder, because the Jedi fought side by side with the Clones who were like brothers to them.
Being a moisture farmer is rough. Owen and Beru age forty years on the next twenty
Grievous was a great warrior but was almost killed. He was made into a cyborg to continue life
My obi ani is getting really fast irl and I’m starting to combo it together 🔥
Team Jedi forever I love the defense fighting form obi wan uses
It’s my life long dream to be a Jedi my favorite is Luke skywalker/mark hamill he really inspires me, I’m also force sensitive in real life and I study the force in real life it’s real
Grand Moff Tarkin = "Old Cheekbones"😅
its pretty clear that palpatine has been using the dark side to mask his true form and has always looked like that. the dark side effectively rots and decays you
It doesn't affect everyone the same way. The witches generally channel the dark side of the force for their magic but maybe that manifests itself differently
@@killablackmambakbm7593The Witches use the Force externally through a medium like magiks and rituals. So your theory may very well be correct.
I always thought that. It would make so much sense that he would shroud his true appearance until the very end. If that was the case then why not continue with that charade? My thoughts on this are either he couldn't or he didn't need to bother once his plan was fulfilled.
In the novel, Darth Plageus, we learn the Force created Anakin in response the the experiments of the Sith. That novel isn't canon according to Disney but it's quite good.
Fantastic point about padme being like Ophelia. Great comments.
35:43 Yes, Battle of the Heroes music is as hardcore as it gets.
44:41 Yes! This is something that stories and games set to the old republic era bring up. The Jedi definitely were not a perfect organization and they have some things common with the Sith.
