Dont mention that horrible movie ... where Keira once again proved that she cant act anything other than a MODERN TEENAGE GIRL, which doesnt fit that story at all.
Two of my favorite Qui-Gon Jinn lines in this movie are: "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent" (So useable for so many people in real life) "There's always a bigger fish."
I love this movie. I watched it in cinema/theatres on premiere day in the early 2000s, absolute banger of a movie. It's one of my favorite star wars movies.
@@markhamstra1083 The movie was created for the 20th Century by 20th Century Studios, therefor in many ways it did premiere one year after in dubbed versions across many theatres and cinemas, that's how it works if you didn't know that. :)
@@cougar-town 🤣🤣🤣 Riiiiight, when a movie is released in year X, everyone knows that it doesn’t premiere until years later. Admitting that you made a mistake would be much more convincing than the silly excuse you offered.
@@markhamstra1083 A release day is different from a premiere day. It's a different word that might be too complex for you to comprehend. You trying to get people to admit they're wrong on the internet is a bad strategy especially when you're the one that is wrong about the thing you're talking about. Seems logical to me that you just don't understand the thing you're talking about.
37:34 Amidala was played by Natalie Portman. She was 16 yo at the time. The Bodyguard was played by Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean). She was 12/13 yo.
During the scenes inside Yoda’s hut in Episode 5, Yoda does tell Force Ghost Obi-Wan that Luke was “too old” to begin the training. The statement was accurate. The Jedi Order started training children from a young age. But, Yoda was also playing mind games with Luke as a test of his character. When Anakin was being tested by the Jedi Council in this film, the issue of Anakin being too old was raised.
The "rat tail" of Obi Wan shows that he is a padawan learner, an apprentice, not a Jedi Knight yet. The final fight, sounding "Duel of the fates", it´s one of the best in the franchise for me. Legendary.
You're so right! Plus, Qui Gon is labeled as a "Grey Jedi". He has a much less dogmatic view of the Force and would've told Anakin his feelings were natural, and attachment wasn't all bad. There are a number of works saying Anakin never would've turned Sith under Qui Gon's tutelage. Anakin did under Obi-Wan's because Obi-Wan's view of the Force and being a Jedi was rigid, with no room for nuance. It essentially told Anakin to repress all the things he was naturally inclined to, or else he'd be a failure. It's like when kids who grow up in repressive, strict households lash out as they grow up
Yeah but Palpatine would have probably found a way to kill him. He wanted Anakin as his apprentice, like he says at the end. "He will watch his career" line
Shmi Skywalker: "There was no father." Anakin's birth is a clear parallel with a certain other messianic story from long ago. A virgin birth, caused by the All Powerful. In this case, it is the Force!
... but "the force" is RETCONNED to "midiclorines" in this movie, so it has nothing to do with "nonexistent skydaddy" and is rather closer to "genetic manipulation" combined with "artificial insemination" (it seems unlikely Shmi was a virgin at her age, especially since she was a slave).
@@Muck006 ... The parallel is thematic - not literal. You're taking it too literally. The particulars in the story (the midichlorians) are irrelevant. Anakin is said to be the Chosen One, the Messiah, the One Who Will Save Everyone.
I think you're gonna love the next two movies girls! A bit of trivia - "Darth Vader" is pidgin Dutch for "Dark Father". Thanx for another great reaction. 😎👍 Virtual hug! 🤗
*We boys just see the fight scenes.* That's why I like watching these two. They're actually watching the story progress and reading faces and body language.
Natalie Portman played Queen Padme Amidala, and Keira Knightley played her decoy. Both were quite young here, but Natalie, at this time, was more well known as actress.
Fun fact: one of the Queen's decoys is Keira Knightley in an uncredited appearance. Both she and Natalie Portman, who plays Padme/Queen of Naboo, went on to be nominated for multiple Oscars (Natalie actually won one). Fun how they essentially shared a role as children and ended up with similar careers. Did you recognize Anakin's mother being the Swedish queen from "Young Royals"? I hope you finish that show, eventually, because the series finale just came out, and it's soooooo worth the watch. You only have 2 more seasons (12 episodes). It's actually how I found your channel
@PatriotJedi It's not hard to forget! I do too! She's only in the background or disguised most of the movie. I'm not even sure she credited. I only know it's her because I saw her talk about it on the Graham Norton Show
Jyn & Ryl, if you really like Liam Neeson, check out one of his first films: "Excalibur" (1981) - a great story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Liam Neeson plays Sir Gawain.
Key take-away from this film.... 1. Anakin Skywalker and his mother (Shmi) were slaves. No one knows exactly how long they had been slaves or where Shmi is originally from...but they were owned by Gardulla the Hutt (crime lord). Gardulla was not very nice to her slaves, and she lost Anakin and his mother from gambling. So Watto became their new owner. Compared to previous owners...Watto wasn't the worst. He was probably the "nicest" owner they had...but still treated them poorly. 2. Anakin is around 8-10 years old when he is found by Qui Gonn (Jedi) and has lived a harsh life in such a short time. Jedi are normally found early (very young) and are taken to be trained, so their attachments are limited and most barely remember their lives prior to becoming a Jedi. They are also taught how mitigate their emotions from an early age. So for Anakin, he is extremely close to the only person that has ever shown him love, his mother, and he has been treated horribly his entire life being a slave. 3. Anakin is upset when he must leave his Mother behind, but he promises her he will become a Jedi and then return to free her. 4. Qui Gonn brings Anakin to a completely new place with new people and is put in front of the Jedi Council to be "test" (judged). While there, he is interrogated and ultimately told he will not be accepted as a Jedi and that he future is clouded. So Anakin has just been rejected, judged, and deemed too old/dangerous to train. This was his dream, to become a Jedi, and to eventually be able to free his Mother from Slavery and get her away from Tatooine, but the Jedi Council have just taken that from him. 5. Anakin has also experienced "love at first sight" with Padme. Which is forbidden for Jedi. 6. Qui Gonn is the only one that believes in Anakin and he takes him under his wing to teach him. Very much like a Father-figure to a young boy that has never had a male role model. Unfortunately, Qui Gonn is killed and the one person that believed in Anakin is gone. Plus, Qui Gonn is very unique in his approach with the force and treats it more like a religion than the current Jedi Order. The current Order have become too political and act more like a police/military force than a religion. 7. Obi Wan only takes on Anakin as his pupil due to Qui Gonn's last dying wish/statement. The same Obi Wan that has said "Why do I sense that we have picked up another pathetic life form?" and "The boy is dangerous. They can all sense it. Why can't you?" Plus, Obi Wan was still in training when Gui Gonn died and taking on an apprentice so early is not typical. So relatively inexperience Master...and older apprentice that had a horrible life growing up.
Virtual hug. Y'all remind me of me and my sister. Luke's faja lol Inconceivable!! Love that y'all are watching some good movies. I like the first. A new hope through return of the Jedi. The first three with the back story with Anakin. Y'all are in for a treat
3:20 I'm watching this after you uploaded episode 3, so I'm not spoiling anything, when you're busy wondering about the queen's decoy you're probably not thinking about the other senator's voice sounding familiar. 😉
I remember seeing this film when it first came out in the 90s when I was 10 and it was so exciting to have a Star Wars film come out in my lifetime but after I saw it I thought I wish they had showed more of Darth Maul. It was a bit annoying how little screen time he actually got considering how much merchandise they were trying to sell.
The actor in Pride and Prejudice is the queen's decoy.😄 Even their own mothers in real life couldn't identify them on in full Queen Amidala's make up,lol.
Jedi can use Force Speed Boost. Fear is the Ally of the Sith. Anakin is anxious about a lot of things but there is one domain he fears nothing, piloting. He is in his element. Qui Gon lightsaber combat style was not the most approriate in narrow spaces. Obi-Wan style is more focused on defense with small and fast moves. If you are verse in music, just listen the end parade theme... see if it doesn't ring a bell...
Hello, Ladies. I just wanted to let you know I'm not seeing your reactions showing up in the random "reaction videos" too much anymore. I've given a thumbs up and left this message in hopes of helping you out. You are really good commentators, you don't talk over the movie and are very respectful to each other. Keep being yourselves.
The Force can’t just be used whenever you like. Obi-wan was already using his entire Force concentration to fight Maul, using another force power would have degraded his fighting technique.
If you want to know what will happen, you'll have to watch episodes 2 & 3--I won't give you answers to not spoil your experience. But you both have a good grasp at the storyline. Have a nice day.
37:34 _"I_ am Queen Amidala. This my _decoy."_ The original trilogy set an _incredibly_ high standard that, of course, the _prequel_ trilogy could not measure up to. Stylistically, and cinematically, it's just not as good. But strategically, I would dare to say it's actually a good movie. At what point in the original movie does anyone make use of decoys or diversions?
40:26 This part is _also_ very good strategy. I mean, there's this _huge_ battle that makes a very convincing display of an alliance trying to accomplish one very substantial _objective._ In pressing it, the alliance is forcing the Trade Federation to direct combat resources to the battlefield that is opening holes in its defense of the Viceroy which is where the _actual_ attack is. The _apparent_ attack is _huge_ and _loud._ It makes _noise_ and commands _attention._ In so doing, it draws attention away from the _actual_ attack which is much smaller and more _subtle._ Sun Tzu would approve.
I was blessed to see first trilogy starting in '77 at 6 yro. Was as big a Star Wars fan as there was. But hated this cgi, chock full-o-celebreties trilogy when it hit. Especially this kiddie flick!😅 Years later when i asked my nephew born in '93 which Star Wars was his fave he said EPISODE 1!!!😅 Just goes to show differences between generations. Generation before mine felt our flicks were just as "silly". And about 20 years from now, "Source" willing, y'all be saying the same about the next Generation's god-awful flicks!😅 To each their own! May the "Source" be with you! 🤘🌎❤️
It comes down to this: It's all just entertainment! Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, Narnia..... It doesn't matter if some people love certain episodes while others hate them. Watch whatever you want and like whatever you want. They're just movies. It's entertainment! 🙂
Nah ... the DISNEY sequel trilogy is a special kind of STUPID ... and if any offspring of yours thinks they are good, take away their right to vote, because they have no brainpower to see flaws. And as it stands now ... STAR WARS IS DEAD anyways.
You should watch/listen to The Saga Begins by Weird Al Yankovic. It's a parody song about this movie and you'll love it. :) You did well noticing the different faces. I'm bad with faces myself but I've seen a lot of reactions and the only person that noticed was someone who already knew the actress Natalie Portman. You didn't have that advantage so it was great to see. Thanks for another great reaction. ***hugs***
Queen Amidala / Padme was played by Natalie Portman (age 16/17* at the time); the decoy handmaiden was played by Keira Knightley (Bend it Like Beckham, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc. age 13/14* at the time). It's unclear exactly what age the Queen is supposed to be, but a teenager, for sure. Portman and Knightley were cast because of their resemblance to each other. But you saw through that much more quickly than most! Young Anakin was played by Jake Lloyd (age 9/10* at the time). Nine or ten isn't really a "little" kid, but I think because of his round face and youthful acting style, he comes across as younger. He got a lot of flak from school classmates, and the press, and the public, over his part in this film. Hardcore Star Wars fans who disliked the prequels thought that the part of young Anakin was played for laughs, thought that Jake was a bad actor, blamed him for problems with the script (which were of course not his responsibility) and other things. Poor kid had a hard time of it, which was totally unfair to someone so young. He retired from acting shortly after Star Wars, due to personal reasons. In later life, he has suffered from many mental problems, which might be genetic. Quite sad, really. *actors' ages are approximate, based on filming year and birth year; they might have been slightly more or less, depending on birthdays and such. But about those ages.
Kiera Knightley was 12 during principal photography and 13 during pickups (if she participated in those). Jake Lloyd was 8 and 9 during those periods. You are correct that Natlie Portman was 16 and 17.
@@Stogie2112 Quite true. In any case, whether they're a good child actor in a bad movie, or a good child actor in a bad movie, or a bad child actor in a bad movie: bullying any child is hurtful, for any reason. If one didn't like the film, complain about the director, or the screenwriter, or the gaffer or the best boy, or the adult actors if you must. But leave the kids alone; they're just kids. I wish that more people could agree on that, at least.
15:05 Ana kill is right. The guy killed Obi-wan. He blew an entire planet in front of his own daughter, killing the people who raised her. It traumatized her so much, she made out with her only brother in front of her boyfriend. It won't surprise me if he killed his kids' mother.
George Lucas went back in time to talk about the tragedy of Anakin SkyWalker and how he became Darth Vader. The Star Wars prequel trilogy was inspired by Richard Nixon's administration and the American Civil War. When you're telling a story, you're telling a story using the tools. You don't use the tools to tell a story. Star Wars the original trilogy was inspired by George Lucas's opposition to the Vietnam War.
The Star Wars film where George Lucas went heavy on the racial stuff! Japan archetypes for the trade people, Jewish archetypes for the slave owner .... and Jar Jar Binks as some sort of weird, I dunno, African stereotype? I don't have big issues with it, as I think people ARE surprising and different in different societies. Just surprised Lucas really leant into it XD
No do your research. Ahmed Best has said this is all BS. And this argument and hate against Jar Jar almost caused him to take his life. And in my view it’s an excuse for some people to explain why they dislike this movie without any discussion as they appear morally right knowing they’re racist themselves. Just my two cents. Nothing against you I understand things spread on the internet. Just wish people would understand this isn’t a issue or true statement in any way.
@@mikenadj.j4355 Ahmed Best's view doesn't negate mine. He's got a dog in the fight and a career to protect. I wish him well, but that character absolutely nods to the kind of "me um big jojo up mountain with big bongo drum or coconut" stereotype. People say it's Jamaican but to me it feels like a mishmash of that or African. Just like Watto absolutely nods to the hook nosed, greedy, beady eyed Jewish stereotype etc. Or the trade federation are basically space asians. It's no huge deal for me - I like films like Duck Soup and Airplane that have a few cringe moments, as I'm fairly relaxed about comedy going to strange places. Pixar movies etc are absolutely full of them. Dungeons and Dragons is full of them (but trying to remove them) etc. As you think there's not a scintilla of truth in what I say, I'm inclined to think you're being closed minded.
@@mikenadj.j4355 Such cobblers. They were obvious stereotypes, just like how Pixar films etc are full of them (and more). Don't try to whitewash me with your Big Brother-ish 'we the community declare you 100% false' cr*p. I wish Ahmed Best very well, and it was awful how people wanted to destroy him. But the characters were quite blatant. Some of my favourite films have dodgy characters in them (Airplane, Duck Soup etc) as I'm able to look past that or even enjoy them.
I didn't really like that famous actors and characters drop in this movie happened along side with important information Mace Windu (Samuel Jackson's character), Yoda and Ki-Adi-Mundi (long headed guy) were talking about the fact that the Sith were extinct for a millennium (as Jedi thought) and attack on the Qui Gon made not by some rouge Jedi, but by a warrior who had tattoo of the ancient Sith order was a pretty big deal
Hi girls. Virtual Hug. You pick up a lot of things really fast. Having read your comments section you need someone who has seen the fims to weed out any spoiler comments. Much love and looking forward to Attack of the Clones.
If you liked this one all i can say is the other two are better, which they are(😬)... But then you have 'Rogue One', watch that after 3 and see how good the first (1-3)and last(7-9) could have been. And I don't care about the abuse I'm going to get for saying that, I am one with the Force and the Force is one with me😎
The end of the fight between Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Darth Maul shows the difference between Sith and Jedi very well. When the laser partitions separated Qui Gon and Maul from each other, the Jedi began to meditate, calming down, and the Sith, on the contrary, walked in a rage like a tiger in a cage, filling himself with emotions. And when Obi Wan attacked Maul after the death of his master, you can see that he was filled with rage, which took him out of balance, since this is not the way of the Jedi and he does not know how to handle it, and Darth Maul, being a Sith who has been raised inside the order since childhood, who on the contrary feeds himself with emotions, easily he was defeated and thrown into the mine, and only when Obi Wan was able to calm down and return to balance, he was able to defeat Maul мне
Ah yes, the movie that introduced us to the worse character in Star Wars, Jar Jar. And those battle droids are a close 2nd. This was a time when the Jedi numbered in the 1000s. You're the first reactors that I follow who saw through the Senator's manipulations to become Chancellor. One good thing about this movie is it has the best lightsaber battle in all the SW movies. Jedi are trained very young, Annakin is too old because he has attachments, especially to his mother and attachments can be a problem
The problem was that George Lucas basically removed anyone who would QUALITY CONTROL him and his "story", thus he created a lot of stupid assets for MERCHANDISING PURPOSES (Queen Amidala and her "change outfits for every scene" for example ... and the droids were the new stormtroopers) ... where the REAL money of the movie is made.
"You could confuse her with a few other actresses." That's literally why she was cast as Padme. They figured it out early. Jyn and Ryl are big brains.
The actually used Keira Knightley as her decoy! They look so much alike!
the decoy was keira knightley from Pride and Prejudice
Dont mention that horrible movie ... where Keira once again proved that she cant act anything other than a MODERN TEENAGE GIRL, which doesnt fit that story at all.
@@Muck006 LOL, I know but they asked if Natalie Portman was in Pride and Prejudice, just trying to clear it up for them

Anakin was conceived by the Force. His mom was telling the truth. Thats why he's so powerful and special, and why he's the "Chosen One"
37:34 Amidala was played by Natalie Portman. She was 16 yo at the time. The Bodyguard was played by Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean). She was 12/13 yo.
That’s what I find out recently.

I remember seeing this film when it first came out in the 90s when I was 10 and it was so exciting to have a Star Wars film come out in my lifetime but after I saw it I thought I wish they had showed more of Darth Maul. It was a bit annoying how little screen time he actually got considering how much merchandise they were trying to sell.

Happy 25Th Anniversary Of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Virtual hug!
Yes, Darth Vader created C3PO
Good reaction once again. Quickly watch the other episodes.
*Yes! Before everyone here SPOILS them.* LOL
I like the world building of the prequels. Check out Fanboys..a Phantom Menace related comedy.
The actor in Pride and Prejudice is the queen's decoy.😄
Even their own mothers in real life couldn't identify them on in full Queen Amidala's make up,lol.
Jedi can use Force Speed Boost.
Fear is the Ally of the Sith.
Anakin is anxious about a lot of things but there is one domain he fears nothing, piloting. He is in his element.
Qui Gon lightsaber combat style was not the most approriate in narrow spaces. Obi-Wan style is more focused on defense with small and fast moves.
If you are verse in music, just listen the end parade theme... see if it doesn't ring a bell...
Can’t wait for the reaction to the next one 🔥

Hello, Ladies. I just wanted to let you know I'm not seeing your reactions showing up in the random "reaction videos" too much anymore. I've given a thumbs up and left this message in hopes of helping you out. You are really good commentators, you don't talk over the movie and are very respectful to each other. Keep being yourselves.
Senator Palpatine seems trustworthy. I wonder what will the Emperor do to him when he takes over.
After you watch these three episodes make sure you watch rogue one before you watch the last three

VH. Thanks for the reaction, ladies.
38:50 surprised you don’t recognize a specific face 🧐
The true problem why Anakin fell to the Dark Side was because Obi-Wan wasn’t the Master Ani needed, it should have been Qui Gon Jin.
i dunno, it might have been simply that he was too old and had attachments, despite any master.
No. The problem was inherent in Anakin.
@@firstenforemost INCORRECT!
Anakin is the greatest pilot in the galaxy ✌️
The Force can’t just be used whenever you like. Obi-wan was already using his entire Force concentration to fight Maul, using another force power would have degraded his fighting technique.
If you want to know what will happen, you'll have to watch episodes 2 & 3--I won't give you answers to not spoil your experience. But you both have a good grasp at the storyline. Have a nice day.
49:28 and many more reasons added to Anakin’s fall to the dark side. 🙂🔥🔥❤️👍
After ep 3 I recommend to you to see Clone Wars! 🙂
Awesome 😊
I can’t wait for your next reaction video to Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
37:34 _"I_ am Queen Amidala. This my _decoy."_
The original trilogy set an _incredibly_ high standard that, of course, the _prequel_ trilogy could not measure up to. Stylistically, and cinematically, it's just not as good. But strategically, I would dare to say it's actually a good movie. At what point in the original movie does anyone make use of decoys or diversions?
40:26 This part is _also_ very good strategy. I mean, there's this _huge_ battle that makes a very convincing display of an alliance trying to accomplish one very substantial _objective._ In pressing it, the alliance is forcing the Trade Federation to direct combat resources to the battlefield that is opening holes in its defense of the Viceroy which is where the _actual_ attack is. The _apparent_ attack is _huge_ and _loud._ It makes _noise_ and commands _attention._ In so doing, it draws attention away from the _actual_ attack which is much smaller and more _subtle._
Sun Tzu would approve.
13:26 He got rizz, he's no Captain Kirk. Kirk got rizz. Anakin uses the Force.
I was blessed to see first trilogy starting in '77 at 6 yro. Was as big a Star Wars fan as there was. But hated this cgi, chock full-o-celebreties trilogy when it hit. Especially this kiddie flick!😅 Years later when i asked my nephew born in '93 which Star Wars was his fave he said EPISODE 1!!!😅 Just goes to show differences between generations. Generation before mine felt our flicks were just as "silly". And about 20 years from now, "Source" willing, y'all be saying the same about the next Generation's god-awful flicks!😅
To each their own!
May the "Source" be with you!

It comes down to this: It's all just entertainment! Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, Narnia.....
It doesn't matter if some people love certain episodes while others hate them.
Watch whatever you want and like whatever you want. They're just movies. It's entertainment! 🙂
Nah ... the DISNEY sequel trilogy is a special kind of STUPID ... and if any offspring of yours thinks they are good, take away their right to vote, because they have no brainpower to see flaws.
And as it stands now ... STAR WARS IS DEAD anyways.
*Blessed? At 6 you don't get anything out of the movies aside from flashing lights and loud bangs.*
@@hulkhatepunybanner …. Maybe that’s all you got out of it.
@@Stogie2112 *Yes. I didn't take into account the 6yo boys who are mature enough to understand subtext and adult situations.* My bad?
You should watch/listen to The Saga Begins by Weird Al Yankovic. It's a parody song about this movie and you'll love it. :)
You did well noticing the different faces. I'm bad with faces myself but I've seen a lot of reactions and the only person that noticed was someone who already knew the actress Natalie Portman. You didn't have that advantage so it was great to see. Thanks for another great reaction.
***hugs***
Queen Amidala / Padme was played by Natalie Portman (age 16/17* at the time); the decoy handmaiden was played by Keira Knightley (Bend it Like Beckham, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc. age 13/14* at the time). It's unclear exactly what age the Queen is supposed to be, but a teenager, for sure. Portman and Knightley were cast because of their resemblance to each other. But you saw through that much more quickly than most!
Young Anakin was played by Jake Lloyd (age 9/10* at the time). Nine or ten isn't really a "little" kid, but I think because of his round face and youthful acting style, he comes across as younger. He got a lot of flak from school classmates, and the press, and the public, over his part in this film. Hardcore Star Wars fans who disliked the prequels thought that the part of young Anakin was played for laughs, thought that Jake was a bad actor, blamed him for problems with the script (which were of course not his responsibility) and other things. Poor kid had a hard time of it, which was totally unfair to someone so young. He retired from acting shortly after Star Wars, due to personal reasons. In later life, he has suffered from many mental problems, which might be genetic. Quite sad, really.
*actors' ages are approximate, based on filming year and birth year; they might have been slightly more or less, depending on birthdays and such. But about those ages.
Young child actors are always hit or miss. Some can be really good, while many are not. A good director and script can make a big difference.
*Because women look at faces.*
Kiera Knightley was 12 during principal photography and 13 during pickups (if she participated in those). Jake Lloyd was 8 and 9 during those periods. You are correct that Natlie Portman was 16 and 17.
@@Stogie2112 Quite true. In any case, whether they're a good child actor in a bad movie, or a good child actor in a bad movie, or a bad child actor in a bad movie: bullying any child is hurtful, for any reason. If one didn't like the film, complain about the director, or the screenwriter, or the gaffer or the best boy, or the adult actors if you must. But leave the kids alone; they're just kids. I wish that more people could agree on that, at least.
Same thing with JarJar's actor
They start trading at around 3-4 years old.
Very perceptive you two are of Palpatine
15:05 Ana kill is right. The guy killed Obi-wan. He blew an entire planet in front of his own daughter, killing the people who raised her. It traumatized her so much, she made out with her only brother in front of her boyfriend. It won't surprise me if he killed his kids' mother.
to be fair, Anakin ended up killing Palpatine , he brought balance , a bit too late but he did .
Since Anakin built C-3po, is C-3po Luke's brother?
Virtual Hug ❤
Love you ladies ❤
See you in Attack of the Clones 😊
he is the father
Who?
So will you be reviewing Episodes 2 and 3 as well? Rouge One and Han Solo movies? This is all before A New Hope took place.
5:35 "I _spek."_

Wow, you too are hilarious
the queen or padme is her character is 12 years old on naboo kids rule the planet at a young age
Padmé Amidala was 14 years old when she was elected Queen. After her term expired, she was elected Senator.
@@Stogie2112 oops i knew it was 12 or 14 i just forgot off top of my head
@@RobertP-zk8vh ....S'all right, fellow Jedi. 😀
George Lucas went back in time to talk about the tragedy of Anakin SkyWalker and how he became Darth Vader. The Star Wars prequel trilogy was inspired by Richard Nixon's administration and the American Civil War. When you're telling a story, you're telling a story using the tools. You don't use the tools to tell a story. Star Wars the original trilogy was inspired by George Lucas's opposition to the Vietnam War.
Please everybody in the comments try not to spoil
There is no "try". You do not spoil anything. Not now, not ever!
The Star Wars film where George Lucas went heavy on the racial stuff! Japan archetypes for the trade people, Jewish archetypes for the slave owner .... and Jar Jar Binks as some sort of weird, I dunno, African stereotype? I don't have big issues with it, as I think people ARE surprising and different in different societies. Just surprised Lucas really leant into it XD
No do your research. Ahmed Best has said this is all BS. And this argument and hate against Jar Jar almost caused him to take his life. And in my view it’s an excuse for some people to explain why they dislike this movie without any discussion as they appear morally right knowing they’re racist themselves. Just my two cents. Nothing against you I understand things spread on the internet. Just wish people would understand this isn’t a issue or true statement in any way.
@@mikenadj.j4355 Ahmed Best's view doesn't negate mine. He's got a dog in the fight and a career to protect.
I wish him well, but that character absolutely nods to the kind of "me um big jojo up mountain with big bongo drum or coconut" stereotype. People say it's Jamaican but to me it feels like a mishmash of that or African. Just like Watto absolutely nods to the hook nosed, greedy, beady eyed Jewish stereotype etc. Or the trade federation are basically space asians.
It's no huge deal for me - I like films like Duck Soup and Airplane that have a few cringe moments, as I'm fairly relaxed about comedy going to strange places. Pixar movies etc are absolutely full of them. Dungeons and Dragons is full of them (but trying to remove them) etc.
As you think there's not a scintilla of truth in what I say, I'm inclined to think you're being closed minded.
@@mikenadj.j4355 Such cobblers. They were obvious stereotypes, just like how Pixar films etc are full of them (and more). Don't try to whitewash me with your Big Brother-ish 'we the community declare you 100% false' cr*p. I wish Ahmed Best very well, and it was awful how people wanted to destroy him. But the characters were quite blatant. Some of my favourite films have dodgy characters in them (Airplane, Duck Soup etc) as I'm able to look past that or even enjoy them.
I didn't really like that famous actors and characters drop in this movie happened along side with important information
Mace Windu (Samuel Jackson's character), Yoda and Ki-Adi-Mundi (long headed guy) were talking about the fact that the Sith were extinct for a millennium (as Jedi thought) and attack on the Qui Gon made not by some rouge Jedi, but by a warrior who had tattoo of the ancient Sith order was a pretty big deal
Your comment on Palpatine not giving for anyone, you have no idea how accurate your comment is.
Hi girls. Virtual Hug. You pick up a lot of things really fast. Having read your comments section you need someone who has seen the fims to weed out any spoiler comments. Much love and looking forward to Attack of the Clones.
*You girls just didn't get it. LOL. The guy you keep saying you don't trust...is the Emperor*
You missed the part where they talked about the Senator being the Emperor. LOL
@@aqovix9683 ... Jyn & Ryl already know. They recognized Palpatine early on.
Spoiling movies for everyone is your Sith power.
@@Stogie2112 No they didn't
@@Stogie2112 Oh,,,so that's why they kept saying they dont trust him
If you liked this one all i can say is the other two are better, which they are(😬)... But then you have 'Rogue One', watch that after 3 and see how good the first (1-3)and last(7-9) could have been.
And I don't care about the abuse I'm going to get for saying that, I am one with the Force and the Force is one with me😎
Anakin= space jesus
Anakin sold his soul to become Vader.
Star Wars episode 2 attack of the clones Star Wars episode 3 revenge of the sith
The end of the fight between Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Darth Maul shows the difference between Sith and Jedi very well. When the laser partitions separated Qui Gon and Maul from each other, the Jedi began to meditate, calming down, and the Sith, on the contrary, walked in a rage like a tiger in a cage, filling himself with emotions. And when Obi Wan attacked Maul after the death of his master, you can see that he was filled with rage, which took him out of balance, since this is not the way of the Jedi and he does not know how to handle it, and Darth Maul, being a Sith who has been raised inside the order since childhood, who on the contrary feeds himself with emotions, easily he was defeated and thrown into the mine, and only when Obi Wan was able to calm down and return to balance, he was able to defeat Maul мне
Jyn & Ryl! Don't read the comments!!! They are full of spoilers!!!!
There’s always been speculation that jar jar is really a Sith Lord and just acting like an idiot to cover it up lol
You mean a Jedi?..
@@lolyungmulaBABY no…sith lord.haven’t you ever heard of the theories?😳

You’re a deeply unpleasant person, seek help.

Ah yes, the movie that introduced us to the worse character in Star Wars, Jar Jar. And those battle droids are a close 2nd. This was a time when the Jedi numbered in the 1000s. You're the first reactors that I follow who saw through the Senator's manipulations to become Chancellor. One good thing about this movie is it has the best lightsaber battle in all the SW movies. Jedi are trained very young, Annakin is too old because he has attachments, especially to his mother and attachments can be a problem
The problem was that George Lucas basically removed anyone who would QUALITY CONTROL him and his "story", thus he created a lot of stupid assets for MERCHANDISING PURPOSES (Queen Amidala and her "change outfits for every scene" for example ... and the droids were the new stormtroopers) ... where the REAL money of the movie is made.
They suspicious but dont know. So shhh
Ewoks are the worst.
