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.
Harrison Ford told George Lucas, _You can write this sh t, but you can't say it!_ He wanted George to say the lines ... and George could. He knew how it was supposed to sound. That's why the dialogue is so wooden in some scenes. _Jar Jar is the key to all of this._ ~George Lucas
Destroying the last Sith Lord after being redeemed isn't bringing balance to the galaxy. 🤣 Sorry, this is sort of *spoilery* if you haven't watched *The Clone Wars* or the sequels. Even if Palpatine were "unable" to return, there are so many Sith artifacts and teaching relics, they could return at any given time. Quite a few Sith imbued their essence into antiquities, such as masks, rings, weapons, monuments, etc. Every holocron, every aspect would need to be destroyed. _"If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess...then you have nothing."_ ~Obi Wan Anakin's first step was ending the way things were done in the Mortis realm. This isn't something he would do in one fell swoop. Stories never end. They're just abandoned.
You’ve got qui gon wrong. He was right, anakin was the chosen one, just not in the way people think. The Jedi at this point have lost their way and become overly dogmatic (you’ll see more examples of this later) then once the empire rises Anakin is the one who destroys the emperor finally bringing balance to the force. The song during the last fight is called “duel of the fates” because if qui gon survived that fight, his more knowledgable way of the force would’ve been enough to raise Anakin with the father figure he needed to not join the dark side, qui gon not surviving is the first reason that Anakin is set upon the dark path. Qui Gon is only in one film and will always be my favourite character, extended lore in other series expand how important his death was and makes this film feel more impactful
@@AbbyJaneReacts Because of he died that make Anakin fate changes. Imagine is Qui Gon still alive, Darth Vader wouldn't be create. Qui Gon is the father figure that Anakin needed, not Obi Wan. Obi Wan was not prepare to hold that responsibility to take care a young padawan when he still a young padawan also. Obi Wan still young to become a father figure to young Anakin. He still so much to learn how to become one.
Jake Lloyd was bullied in school, but you need to understand that was over 25 years ago. His problems later in life are caused by his mental illness. He's trying to get help aided by his mother but he does have slip-ups once in a while
There was a bunch of bashing of Jake by the fandom but his mom was able to keep him away from seeing it mostly (like Alaskan said, 25 years ago lot easier to stay off the internet) he struggled with bullying and mental health issues in school then fell on hard times but he’s doing a lot better now after getting treatment. His mum did a interview recently ish and said he still loves Star Wars and is up to date on most everything, and he’s getting his life back on track. Feels good man. (But yeah grown ass people did shit on a kid for like whatever reason they didn’t like him, whack)
Anakin is literally space Jesus. The Force created him, hence why he's so talented with the Force. The story is more complicated but long story short, no there was no father.
I love Star Wars so much, and I love so much your reactions because you´re so perceptive. It´s great to see someone who catches, thinks and analizes without stopping enjoying. I´ll follow you till the end!
Great reaction!!!! Like I said in an earlier post you had, this one was a little slower and not my favorite but it is building the story to progress into episodes 2 and 3. Also, glad you finally got the "Young Padawan" reference I have been using for you in my comments lol. Glad you know I wasn't being wierd or something :). Anyway, may the Force be with you young Padawan!!!!!
I personally LOVE this movie for almost all. This trilogy was very attacked without sense and without reason, when was released. Now, with the time, has had its deserved recognition.
Star Wars fans hardcore are very weird and behave stupidly sometimes. Attacking Jake Lloyd and crucifying these prequels. I thought these prequels. What are some of the best of Star Wars and to this day I still believe that.
@@MI-hz1cp Not liking the prequels means not liking George Lucas's vision for Star Wars, it's simply not liking Star Wars. And those who harassed Jake Lloyd and the actors are not true Star Wars fans, they're just jerks, the same goes for those who bash people for enjoying these films just because it's become trendy to criticize them to seem "cool".
And yet Vader would have never beaten the Emperor until his son interfered. Or if he ever did, it would have only been to replace him and carry on the evil Sith agenda. And if you take the newer lore seriously, it wouldn't have worked anyway and would have just ended up with Palpatine taking over Vader's body. With all of that said, if Lucas says that Anakin was the Chosen One, then Anakin was the Chosen One.
Yes, what you heard about Jake Lloyd being bullied related to his role in this film. It is a tragic story that you may want to explore on TH-cam at some point now that you've seen the film, but as a fan, it sickens me that other human beings can be so cruel to a child, especially one who is trying their best to deliver the performance George directed.
Qui-Gon was right! Indeed Anakin was the chosen one, we just didn't think it was going to go this way as him being bad because if you remember, at the end of "Return of the Jedi" he did destroy the Sith by killing the Emperor as he was saving his son but also destroying Darth Vader by becoming Anakin again, returning to the light side. Therefore, no more Sith.
When it comes to Yoda, in the original trilogy he was a puppet. I like to call him a Muppet because George Lucas went to Jim Henson and Frank Oz to create Yoda. Frank Oz also voiced Yoda so if you compare Yoda's voice to Miss Piggy and Fozzie from the Muppet Show or the muppet movies, who Frank Oz also did the voices for, then you'll hear some similarities in the voices.
You should be happy with the way Yoda looks, when the movie first came out they did use a puppet! You can find the original version of Yoda and he looks incredibly creepy in my opinion, I’m glad it changed 😂😂
They were all famous BEFORE this movie. Nathalie Portman was in Leon, Liam Niesson in Schindler's List, Ewan MacGregor in Trainspotting etc. There were times when actors were fighting to get a role in Star Wars...
They were somewhat famous, Jackson having been in Die Hard 3 and Jurassic Park prior to this. But they became household names because of Star Wars except for Liam Neeson since he had already been in an Oscar winning movie with Shindler's List.
Yes the actor who played Young Anakin is Jake Lloyd and his school mates bullied him. His parents tried their best and seemed to have done a good job to shield him from bullging from the rest of the fandom. But public media figures like late night hosts would make hokes at the kid's expense. The actor who played Jar Jar almost ended his own life from the hate he got because original trilogy fans were so hateful towards him for being that character. Star wars has a long history of the actors getting A LOT of hate. It has kinda nevee gone away. It just changes targets.
The deal with the prequels is basically they have a generally interesting story: how Anakin falls to the Darkside, the Clone Wars, how the stage is set for the Empire to rule the galaxy eventually, etc. Some parts of this are really well done, but others not so much. UNFORTUNATELY they often fail in the execution of that story. Some stuff isn't explained well or really doesn't make a ton of sense when you think about it too hard, and the dialogue and acting is often poor or even quite cringe at times. The action is generally great though. So it's a mixed bag, and some fans are more willing to overlook its faults and embrace its strengths than others. Many who generally like these films admit to these flaws but like them anyway. The upside is some of the cringe or silly bits often make great memes. Often, fans who like them well enough enjoy taking jabs at this stuff, leading to some thinking all these fans hate them, but they're really not that hated. The critics at the time blasted them pretty hard though. A LOT of fans really love episode 3. There is a small contingent who basically only like the originals though.
There was a comedy movie that came out in 2009 called Fanboys. It's about a group of friends in 1998 going to Skywalker Ranch so they can see Episode I before anyone else since one of the group is dying and won't live long enough to see it in theaters. It's a pretty good movie and I'd recommend reacting to both it and Spaceballs which parodies the original trilogy.
I've never understood why people hated Jar Jar so much or why anyone disliked the prequels. They're great movies that added to the lore and expanded the universe. And Jar Jar wasn't that bad of a character at all.
The original release of this movie did in fact have Yoda as a puppet. He weirdly looked older than he does in the original films. Subsequent DVD/ Blu- Ray releases remastered it to his CGI form that we see in this version. This film was indeed targeting a younger audience. I think with so many kids growing up watching Star Wars and all the toys/ merchandise around it aimed at younger children for so long it only made sense at the time to cater to that demographic. Great for families to introduce their kids to Star Wars but it also lost some of the grit of the originals. Another thing, Lucas had free reign to basically do what he wanted with these films with very little push back, unlike the originals which was more of a collaboration between him and other producers/ directors. He's great at world building, not so much on dialogue and character interaction. Something he had a lot of help with on the originals. Great reaction. Hope you stick with it. It's a fun ride all said and done.
I would agree with this. The world-building and Ian's performance are the best parts of the prequels. Meanwhile, I found the dialogue and character interaction to be a little off in American Graffiti as well. I actually have no idea why that one became a hit. But I always watch Star Wars in its entirety, that's what makes it great to me. The one big story about Anakin Skywalker and Sheevy pulling the strings. And their interactions are always the highlights throughout. I do think Rogue One is up there with the OT, it's a decent addition. And I am looking forward to Andor season 2.
In the theatrical version, Yoda was a puppet for Episode I. They CGI'd him for the DVD release. (for continuity, just like replacing Original Anakin Sebastian Shaw in ROTJ with Hayden Christensen). Puppet did look younger and a little awkward. Short version- Jedi vs. Sith: Jedi use/embrace the Light side of the Force, Sith employ the Dark side of the Force. Sith are not necessarily Jedi, but you can be seduced from the light to the dark side ( as Vader had).
first time watching one of your reactions ill have to check out your other star wars uploads. you are absolutely adorable and a work of art. keep up the good work darling
The reception for the prequels has only gained traction in the years since their release, and rightly so. Jar Jar aside, they gave us wonderful characters and an amazing backstory to a universe we love. Great reaction.
Anakin actually does bring balance to the force, the Jedi have ruled the galaxy for centuries, so it was the sith’s turn. Plus anakin later kills Sidious and turns back to the light side
I agree with your observation that the tone was a bit "childish". I think that was a marketing approach to capture the youngest fans for toys and merchandise sales. They were seeking a new generation of fans to the franchise, but money was always a motivator. Jar Jar is an example of a character that was thrown into the mix for the little kids.
You are correct btw. I think the tone of this one is meant to be that bit more child like probably to mirror Anakin’s own innocence during this time. I saw this in 1999 at the cinema when I was 10 and I had already grown up with original trilogy on VHS during the 90’s. So I had high expectations even at that age and while I really enjoyed it and still do, it’s nowhere near the level of the original trilogy. Episodes 2 and 3 progressively get darker, more adult and more violent. I think you will get a lot out of episode 3 in particular just because of the order (the correct order and best way in my opinion) you have watched them in 🙂
Oh btw after you have watched episode 3, I really really recommend watching the Star Wars series Andor. It takes places 5 years prior to A New Hope and follows how the Rebellion gets going so moves away from the characters we are used to but you quickly get invested. It’s very thought provoking and moving in places
@@AbbyJaneReacts if you need any suggestions or help, let me know. I’ve helped a lot of my friends with their channels. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. You’re doing a great job.
@@AbbyJaneReacts I would love to help this channel in anyway get more subscribers. I have ideas. I’ve helped reactors that were friends of mine so if you ever need any suggestions or help, let me know you’re doing a great job.
I'd really recommend watching the clone wars series inbetween ep 2 and 3, it really builds up the universe, fixes some of the big issues with the prequels and adds so much weight to the whole story, its also pretty much the best star wars media thats ever been created besides old republic
I second that but I'd recommend doing it in chronological order instead of release order. When the episodes were released some episodes from season three were clearly meant to be watched with certain episodes from season one and season two since they pick up directly from plots in those episodes. Plus there's a few episodes sprinkled throughout the series that take place before the theatrical The Clone Wars movie that was released before the show premiered.
The Clone Wars miniseries from 2003 beats Filoniverse easy. No lorebreaking Mortis arc, no Ahsoka, no Maul. It simply fills the gap between Episdoe 2 and 3.
@@Sandlund93 gotta disagree with you there, ahsoka and maul were great additions imo, i also gave up caring too much about sw lore, they make up new rules and history with every project they make so why even stress
@@SinematicClips Yeah and that mess began with Filoni. By bringing back a character who was cut in half, he paved the way for where we are now. With characters sometimes surviving a lightsaber impalement and sometimes dying. And sure, if George agreed to bring Maul back, he deserves some criticism too. But at least he had a vision in mind, having Maul as the main villain of the sequel trilogy. Which would have meant for him to lay low for decades, biding his time like a true Sith. Instead, they ran out of ideas on what to do with him and decided to kill him off. Which meant that he achieved nothing, just like before. Because as with Starkiller, the canon didn't allow him to become someone of note. Unless he did it in hiding, leaving the story until at least Episode 6. So his death on Tatooine just becomes an anti-climactic waste and disappointment. All those hours I tried to give a crap about his ambitions and that's what it boiled down to? Yet another failure. As if he had learned nothing in the 30 years since Episode 1. How is that even possible? I have no idea why people keep praising it. And the story of Anakin was already told before they invented Ahsoka, she was superfluous from the start and remains so. In fact, why didn't she help Luke on Bespin and the Second Death Star? I guess Mandalore was more important, because Filoni wrote himself into a corner with her surviving the Clone Wars. And it's not like fans are craving an explanation anyway, which I find even more weird. As for the history, I guess that's mainly coming in Dawn of the Jedi. But at this rate, I bet they'll find a way to botch that too.
1. Of the prequels I like this one the best, mostly for the POD race and the underwater sequences, 2. Jar Jar is mostly comic relief since we don't have C3PO 3. Liam Neeson was very busy with various productions at the time and was in huge demand and agreed to do this episode because Qui-Gon Jinn dies, and he won't be held to do more. 4. Divine conception? 5. It's easy to know why this one didn't start the series because of the lack of CGI back in 1977.
Put Watto up against Quark (DS9), his Dabo tables, and his rules of acquisition and let them face off for the most miserly, tight-wad in the cinematic universes.
35:45 he did bring balance back, he killed the Sith Lord, to save Luke. in the end he turned back from the dark side. i saw this 3 times in the theatres when it came out, i thought it was a great addition! enjoy the rest of the films! great reaction 👍
i absolutely love this trilogy. partly because i grew up with it but also because of the toxic romance between Ani and Padme xD its so tragic! get ready for crazy emotions in episode 3 lmao
Thanks for another awesome reaction. I enjoy that you've been genuine in your reactions and opinions about these movies. Most people who grew up with the originals share much of your opinions about this one. However, in time, after some rewatches and viewing of future content you may come back to find yourself having a higher opinion of this trilogy. It's just disappointing on the first watch because as a fan, you know they could have done better. Imagine having to wait 15 years for another star wars movie and this is what they follow up the original 3 with.... :/ 15...years... lol Lot's of time to think. Plan. Consider fandom fiction ideas. Get feed back. Have a budget and an idea to make something really really incredible and innovative. And we got Jar Jar Binks. 10 people using a grappling gun like batman to ascend a floor of a building. A kid who manages to win the war by happenstance just to beef up the hype of his character's future legacy. And perhaps even a CGI Yoda. The movie is more childish in nature. You are 100% correct. Think about all of your favorite movies as a kid. They probably share the commonality of not dumbing down their content to appease to a younger age group. One of the best things the original movie did was to show the burnt Skelton corpses of Luke's foster parents. You don't have to be over the top graphic but you do have to show a level of truth to enjoy the pay off of the motivation that it gives the characters. Hunger is the best spice. Hurt and cruelty is the ying to the yang of purpose and bonds.
Bullying has been happening since children have been hanging around each other. It happened to me in the 70s in Southern California.... Social media has made more "mainstream" ... 🙄😕
Once anakin got there all the council did was judge anakin and focusing on his future instead of focusing on the present and helping him lol especially mace windu. And I thought yoda was wise but nah
Exactly, instead of seeing Anakin through a lens of compassion and understanding the way that Qui Gon did they looked at him through a lens of judgment.
@@jmwilliamsartmore like a lens of caution. They weren’t exactly judging him, they were just too afraid of his potential to notice the path he was heading down.
Anakin actually did bring balance to the Force. If you remember in Return of the Jedi, how he tossed the Emperor down the shaft, that's how he did it. Qui-Gon wasn't wrong. The Force was imbalanced because the Emperor was in power and the dark side of the Force was stronger for a long time until Luke and his friends came along.
Speaking of how easy it would be to fall to the Dark Side... Not seeing the "bad part" about people - in this case many Gungans - dying, and just shrugging and going "oh well" is definitely a large leap towards the Dark Side. Other such moves towards the Dark Side would be judging people as less than because of their species, their mannerisms or their looks. Not to mention wishing death on anyone, even the enemy. So, yes. Falling to the Dark Side is absolutely quite easy, and it can happen in subtle ways, without you even realizing it. The good thing is though, that if one does happen to fall to the Dark Side, they can in many, if not most cases be redeemed, and brought back to the Light. They do, however, have to want that. I guess it's a good thing is that the "Dark Side" is fictional. Well, at least in the way it's depicted in Star Wars. If the Force was real in our world, it might not quite be in balance.
Jake Lloyd wasn't the only one who had a bad experience because of this movie. Ahmed Best, who mo-capped Jar Jar and voiced him, received so much hate mail that he considered suicide.
While the original trilogy was much better than the prequel trilogy, I never thought the prequel trilogy was as bad as many thought. As you watch the other two films in this trilogy, you can see how much more of what are in the following movies could have been put into this movie by not spending so much time on Anakin's childhood and the pod races (pod races to sell video games), and Jar Jar (to sell toys).
So Abby the phantom menace ; is Darth Sidious ! who is the single greatest representation of the Sith emerging from - thought (extinction) .. but Darth Sidious plan was to infiltrate the republic and create division which would ultimately effect the Jedi order, .. which was his primary target!! so in this movie Darth Sidious creates a trade dispute preventing access via trade routes to Naboo, however Ben Kenobi’s master Qui Gon realised there is no purpose in it, thus allowing the senate to focus on a way in which to settle the dispute!! and at the same time without being detected!!!allow Darth Sidious the necessary time to begin play for a place within the senate and then make way for his true mission …. eradicate the Jedi order ….

Also, if Anakin had stayed at the temple, the droid control ship wouldn't have been destroyed and they would've lost the battle. Hell, they basically DID lose the battle until Anakin destroyed the ship and caused all the droids to deactivate.
25:20 Yes, much inspiration for the idea of Jedi came from Buddhism, Japan etc. And yes, Zen int he meaning of not being consumed by emotions. There are also downsides of falling to the Dark Side. It destroys a Sith. Literally. Both mentally and physically.
I have to say it is nice to see your innocence about online bullying and the hate pushing in social media around these pop culture properties. Yes Lloyd was bullied as a young kid and it ruined his life. Ahmed Best the guy that does the motion capture for Jar Jar was driven to the point of suicide by the online fandom community. It does not stop with Star Wars and it continues even to today. There is money to be made in online hate. TH-cam, Tik Tok and various podcasts and forums where people call themselves "real fans" of something and they get rewarded for clicks and traffic that their hate produces. Many actors in video games that do the voice work have been attacked online and sent hate. I am dreading the second season of The Last of Us because in the game the actor for the character that is an antagonist to the story is going to be played by a new actor on screen. The voice actor got so much hate she had to drop social media until things blew over. Sci Fi and Fantasy fandoms have come after people from Marvel to Star Wars and to The Last of Us. People will just not like a storyline or the fact a woman or minority is playing a character. The best these actors can do is get off social media when their project comes out. I am to the point that I don't want people to know I am a Star Wars fan because I don't want to associate with some of these people. I honestly think my days of giving any money to a popular franchise is over because I think they all breed a very negative fandom.
@@rnkelly36 yeah it is such a sad reality and I hate that people target the actors because at the end of the day they’re just doing a job. The whole ‘go woke go broke’ wave that’s going around isn’t helping, because as soon as these people see a woman or a person of color like you said they just become extremely hateful :(
@AbbyJaneReacts Hate is a natural response to aggressive and subversive attempts at propaganda. Don't p*ss on my head and tell me it's raining. You don't get to play the victim when siding with the billionaire classes propaganda. Jake Lloyds bullying has nothing to do with current backlash against the regimes attempts to introduce subversive ideas
Sith, are not always fallen Jedi. They are Force sensitive beings though, that rely on their passion for their power, vs the Jedi being more compassionate. Typically the Jedi take children as young as 3 years old to begin their training as Younglings, so they don't have any emotional attachments. "Being too old" is a common thread in the Star Wars saga (Luke, Anakin). R2 wasn't Anakin's droid, but Padme's.
26:00 the Sith are a dark cult of Force-wielders who are the archenemies of the Jedi. They are known for their red-bladed lightsabers, black clothing, and use of aggressive emotions. The Sith are driven by anger, pain, and greed, and their ultimate goal is to destroy the Jedi and rule the galaxy
@25:58 a Sith is much more than a fallen Jedi, or "Dark Jedi" as they are called in lore. The Sith have a code, and purpose. Their enemy has been and forever will be the Jedi. Dark Jedi tend to pursue less grandiose, more selfish goals. Without allegiance to any code or group.
Actually Qui-Gon wasn't wrong Anakin was the chosen one he did bring balance to the Force when he betrayed his master Darth sidious to save his son the prophecy doesn't say how he brings balance to the force or when he does it it just says that he will. In episode 6 return of the Jedi the title return of the Jedi is not referring to Luke Skywalker it is referring to Anakin Skywalker returning back to the light destroying the emperor saving his son and becoming a Jedi once again
When the 'Phantom Menace' came out, it'd been 16 years since ROTJ was in cinemas. So the expectation for this film was through the roof. There is no way it could have possibly lived up to expectations and it was a huge disappointment at the time. All anyone wanted to know was - How does Anakin become Darth Vader...... But what we got was 2 hours of very confusing politics & pod racing! 25yrs later "The Phantom Menace" has aged pretty well but in 1999 it was a massive let down.

Anakin's path to bringing balance to the force was not a straight one. I'm fact it was the messiest it could have possibly been. But he did get there eventually. Eventually he did destroy the sith and being balance to the force
I think you would like to know that Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader was the chosen one and he did bring balance to the force. It was a prophecy and you already saw how he ultimately succeeded in bringing balance when he killed the emperor and removed the threat of the Sith. That was a huge part of his redemption arc. Also the Mandalorian and Boba Fett shows expand on the nature of the Sand People of Tatooine.
So it begins... 😅. But seriously, if you're going to watch star wars; do yourself a favour by at least not skipping Andor, or the Clone Wars TV series. In my humble opinion, The bad batch, &/or Rebels are also worthy additions, but their not remotely on parr with the former pair. Regardless, they all provide sooo much context for the greater franchise. Now, for the sake of continuity here's the order they should be watched in (it's ok to watch them out of order of course, but the overall narrative is more confusing if you do). Attack of the Clones, Clone Wars TV series, Revenge of the Sith (seriously, if you still retain the empathy you show in prior videos, then this one WILL make you cry; especially after watching the clone wars TV series), The Bad Batch, Andor, Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, A New Hope. Also; if you REALLY wanna dig deeper into this universe, I dare you to read or listen to the book; Darth Plageus: by James Luceno (it also hints pretty heavily at answers to questions you ask during this reaction). Set before the phantom menace, it gives LOADS of extra material about alot of things (phantom menace included). Star Wars really is a DEEP rabbit hole (possibly matched only by the Warhammer 40,000 universe: particularly its Horus Heresy era); at least if one goes by Legends continuity, it's that good. As for me, I personally don't acknowledge significant portions of Dysney's timeline. Not to spoil things, but two great examples of the expanded context can be found in the Trade Federation; & Maul. Plageus does a decent job of elaborating on both (as expected, seeing as neither are main characters in that book), but Rebels & the Clone Wars TV series do WONDERS at making Maul into a fully fleshed out character. I swear; if you truly absorb all three of those previously mentioned entries in the Star Wars saga, and not end up at least understanding why that guy is the way he is, I'll be seriously surprised... Oh; other guys you might wanna observe. If you decide on diving into the rabbit hole that is... Firstly; Count. Dooku (particularly in light of your reaction to the Phantom Menace). Won't say anything about him yet though; that would only spoil the next 2 main films. Not to mention the Clone Wars TV series; & several episodes of the Bad Batch. Buuut... I will say that reading Dark Rendezvous: By Sean Stewart, & Legacy of the Jedi: By Jude Watson, do humanise him. Like Maul, he's also best viewed in film & TV through other books. Plus certain bits from Tales of the Jedi (segments of that conflict with legends, but their still good to watch). Then there's Grand. Admiral. Thrawn. Ohhh boy, your in for a treat when you first see him 😎. Although; a word of warning, thanks to Disney taking advantage of his popularity in Legends, they've SIGNIFICANTLY altered his Cannon timeline (particularly through Rebels). So you'll have to bear that in mind when observing him. Nevertheless, there's a reason he's so loved by fans, no matter which continuity one acknowledges. Heir to the Empire, & it's trilogy: by Timothy Zahn, is critical if going by Legends. Otherwise, the Ascendancy & Thrawn trilogies; also, by Timothy Zahn, are great for understanding him better if acknowledging dysney cannon. Regardless of whether you choose to peruse the wider tales of this franchise however, congratulations & thank you, for dipping your toe in. 🎉 Ps: Hope these recommendations didn't take up too much of your time ☺️.
Wow I knew there was a lot of Star Wars content but there’s a lot more than I imagined! My plan was to watch the movies first and then if there was any interest to watch some of the series to watch some of them as well. I will probably end up watching every single show just not sure which ones I will make videos out of. Andor has been requested a few times so that one I’ll react to for sure! The clone wars is quite long so I’m not sure if I’ll make any videos about it, I’ll ask if it’s something people want to see, but I will watch it for sure. I love getting recommendations so thank you ! 🫶🏻

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.
Harrison Ford told George Lucas, _You can write this sh t, but you can't say it!_
He wanted George to say the lines ... and George could. He knew how it was supposed to sound. That's why the dialogue is so wooden in some scenes.
_Jar Jar is the key to all of this._ ~George Lucas
Anakin eventually did bring balance by killing the Emperor so Qui-Gon wasn't actually wrong Anakin really was the chosen one
@@burakyagz5886 I mean he did cause a lot of damage before that tho 😂
@@AbbyJaneReacts well yeah unfortunately that's true but at least he died protecting his son and fulfilling the prophecy
@@AbbyJaneReacts Well the prophecy doesn't mention that. It just says "He will destroy the sith and bring balance to the force" ^^
Destroying the last Sith Lord after being redeemed isn't bringing balance to the galaxy. 🤣
Sorry, this is sort of *spoilery* if you haven't watched *The Clone Wars* or the sequels.
Even if Palpatine were "unable" to return, there are so many Sith artifacts and teaching relics, they could return at any given time. Quite a few Sith imbued their essence into antiquities, such as masks, rings, weapons, monuments, etc. Every holocron, every aspect would need to be destroyed.
_"If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess...then you have nothing."_ ~Obi Wan
Anakin's first step was ending the way things were done in the Mortis realm. This isn't something he would do in one fell swoop.
Stories never end. They're just abandoned.
@@DaleESkywalker The Sith will Rise again..
You’ve got qui gon wrong. He was right, anakin was the chosen one, just not in the way people think. The Jedi at this point have lost their way and become overly dogmatic (you’ll see more examples of this later) then once the empire rises Anakin is the one who destroys the emperor finally bringing balance to the force. The song during the last fight is called “duel of the fates” because if qui gon survived that fight, his more knowledgable way of the force would’ve been enough to raise Anakin with the father figure he needed to not join the dark side, qui gon not surviving is the first reason that Anakin is set upon the dark path. Qui Gon is only in one film and will always be my favourite character, extended lore in other series expand how important his death was and makes this film feel more impactful
@@yeeticus7206 im still mad that he died haha
@@AbbyJaneReacts Because of he died that make Anakin fate changes. Imagine is Qui Gon still alive, Darth Vader wouldn't be create. Qui Gon is the father figure that Anakin needed, not Obi Wan. Obi Wan was not prepare to hold that responsibility to take care a young padawan when he still a young padawan also. Obi Wan still young to become a father figure to young Anakin. He still so much to learn how to become one.
About the “no father” bit… it’s a reference to mythology. It’s evoking the concept of immaculate conception.
James Earl Jones--- AKA Voice of Vader--- rest in peace.
Jake Lloyd was bullied in school, but you need to understand that was over 25 years ago. His problems later in life are caused by his mental illness. He's trying to get help aided by his mother but he does have slip-ups once in a while
Also to note that he was mostly bullied by kids on his generation/school, a normal happening
There was a bunch of bashing of Jake by the fandom but his mom was able to keep him away from seeing it mostly (like Alaskan said, 25 years ago lot easier to stay off the internet) he struggled with bullying and mental health issues in school then fell on hard times but he’s doing a lot better now after getting treatment. His mum did a interview recently ish and said he still loves Star Wars and is up to date on most everything, and he’s getting his life back on track. Feels good man. (But yeah grown ass people did shit on a kid for like whatever reason they didn’t like him, whack)
Anakin is literally space Jesus. The Force created him, hence why he's so talented with the Force. The story is more complicated but long story short, no there was no father.
I love Star Wars so much, and I love so much your reactions because you´re so perceptive. It´s great to see someone who catches, thinks and analizes without stopping enjoying. I´ll follow you till the end!

I personally LOVE this movie for almost all. This trilogy was very attacked without sense and without reason, when was released. Now, with the time, has had its deserved recognition.
Me too
Totally agree
No, the prequels are bad and thats why they were ridiculed, this film is an absolute slog to get through
Star Wars fans hardcore are very weird and behave stupidly sometimes. Attacking Jake Lloyd and crucifying these prequels. I thought these prequels. What are some of the best of Star Wars and to this day I still believe that.
@@MI-hz1cp
Not liking the prequels means not liking George Lucas's vision for Star Wars, it's simply not liking Star Wars. And those who harassed Jake Lloyd and the actors are not true Star Wars fans, they're just jerks, the same goes for those who bash people for enjoying these films just because it's become trendy to criticize them to seem "cool".
He was the chosen one. He killed the emperor in Return of the Jedi. Luke was getting beat until his dad interfered
Obi-wan would disagree. He said Luke was the Chosen One.
@@jeffburnham6611 george lucas said that obi wan was wrong
And yet Vader would have never beaten the Emperor until his son interfered. Or if he ever did, it would have only been to replace him and carry on the evil Sith agenda. And if you take the newer lore seriously, it wouldn't have worked anyway and would have just ended up with Palpatine taking over Vader's body.
With all of that said, if Lucas says that Anakin was the Chosen One, then Anakin was the Chosen One.
@@shawnpatrick1877 th-cam.com/video/B-gqLG5z8RE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uRl5ZGXXQSbARNAa sorry bud George Lucas says otherwise

Yes, what you heard about Jake Lloyd being bullied related to his role in this film. It is a tragic story that you may want to explore on TH-cam at some point now that you've seen the film, but as a fan, it sickens me that other human beings can be so cruel to a child, especially one who is trying their best to deliver the performance George directed.
11:50 Yup, that's Jake Lloyd. He allegedly was bullied so mercilessly that he got schizophrenia.
@@saveritas731 that’s horrible 🥲
This movie was edited really well and the audio was great. Really enjoyed your reaction.
@@frankducky6130 thank you!
The Prequels are awesome🔥
Remember Obi Wan in Episode IV "The force can have a strong influence on the weak minded". Watto wasn´t among weak minded for sure.
Especially when, Luke’s Jedi mind tricks doesn’t work on Jabba the Hutt.
He is a toydarian. His species is immune to mind tricks.
I was able to 'overlook' Jar Jar because Watto is so well realized.
Qui-Gon was right! Indeed Anakin was the chosen one, we just didn't think it was going to go this way as him being bad because if you remember, at the end of "Return of the Jedi" he did destroy the Sith by killing the Emperor as he was saving his son but also destroying Darth Vader by becoming Anakin again, returning to the light side.
Therefore, no more Sith.
When it comes to Yoda, in the original trilogy he was a puppet. I like to call him a Muppet because George Lucas went to Jim Henson and Frank Oz to create Yoda. Frank Oz also voiced Yoda so if you compare Yoda's voice to Miss Piggy and Fozzie from the Muppet Show or the muppet movies, who Frank Oz also did the voices for, then you'll hear some similarities in the voices.
You should be happy with the way Yoda looks, when the movie first came out they did use a puppet! You can find the original version of Yoda and he looks incredibly creepy in my opinion, I’m glad it changed 😂😂
Im gonna have to check it out now 😂
They were all famous BEFORE this movie. Nathalie Portman was in Leon, Liam Niesson in Schindler's List, Ewan MacGregor in Trainspotting etc. There were times when actors were fighting to get a role in Star Wars...
They were somewhat famous, Jackson having been in Die Hard 3 and Jurassic Park prior to this. But they became household names because of Star Wars except for Liam Neeson since he had already been in an Oscar winning movie with Shindler's List.
@@passionsquietrage Sam Jackson had also been in an Oscar-winning movie, Pulp Fiction, so I'd say he was already a household name before Star Wars
@@c.alderman True, I forgot about that one completely.
Yes the actor who played Young Anakin is Jake Lloyd and his school mates bullied him. His parents tried their best and seemed to have done a good job to shield him from bullging from the rest of the fandom. But public media figures like late night hosts would make hokes at the kid's expense.
The actor who played Jar Jar almost ended his own life from the hate he got because original trilogy fans were so hateful towards him for being that character.
Star wars has a long history of the actors getting A LOT of hate. It has kinda nevee gone away. It just changes targets.
None of that hate made any sense and wasn't warranted or justified in any way. People suck.
The deal with the prequels is basically they have a generally interesting story: how Anakin falls to the Darkside, the Clone Wars, how the stage is set for the Empire to rule the galaxy eventually, etc. Some parts of this are really well done, but others not so much. UNFORTUNATELY they often fail in the execution of that story. Some stuff isn't explained well or really doesn't make a ton of sense when you think about it too hard, and the dialogue and acting is often poor or even quite cringe at times. The action is generally great though. So it's a mixed bag, and some fans are more willing to overlook its faults and embrace its strengths than others. Many who generally like these films admit to these flaws but like them anyway.
The upside is some of the cringe or silly bits often make great memes. Often, fans who like them well enough enjoy taking jabs at this stuff, leading to some thinking all these fans hate them, but they're really not that hated. The critics at the time blasted them pretty hard though. A LOT of fans really love episode 3. There is a small contingent who basically only like the originals though.
Lets just appreciate that Maul was perfectly willing to run over some random child to get to Qui-Gon?
There was a comedy movie that came out in 2009 called Fanboys. It's about a group of friends in 1998 going to Skywalker Ranch so they can see Episode I before anyone else since one of the group is dying and won't live long enough to see it in theaters. It's a pretty good movie and I'd recommend reacting to both it and Spaceballs which parodies the original trilogy.
I've never understood why people hated Jar Jar so much or why anyone disliked the prequels. They're great movies that added to the lore and expanded the universe. And Jar Jar wasn't that bad of a character at all.
That’s Luke’s dad Darth Vader
Dead beat daddy
The original release of this movie did in fact have Yoda as a puppet. He weirdly looked older than he does in the original films. Subsequent DVD/ Blu- Ray releases remastered it to his CGI form that we see in this version. This film was indeed targeting a younger audience.
I think with so many kids growing up watching Star Wars and all the toys/ merchandise around it aimed at younger children for so long it only made sense at the time to cater to that demographic. Great for families to introduce their kids to Star Wars but it also lost some of the grit of the originals.
Another thing, Lucas had free reign to basically do what he wanted with these films with very little push back, unlike the originals which was more of a collaboration between him and other producers/ directors. He's great at world building, not so much on dialogue and character interaction. Something he had a lot of help with on the originals.
Great reaction. Hope you stick with it. It's a fun ride all said and done.
@@masterdark598 thank you 😊
I would agree with this. The world-building and Ian's performance are the best parts of the prequels. Meanwhile, I found the dialogue and character interaction to be a little off in American Graffiti as well. I actually have no idea why that one became a hit.
But I always watch Star Wars in its entirety, that's what makes it great to me. The one big story about Anakin Skywalker and Sheevy pulling the strings. And their interactions are always the highlights throughout. I do think Rogue One is up there with the OT, it's a decent addition. And I am looking forward to Andor season 2.
In the theatrical version, Yoda was a puppet for Episode I. They CGI'd him for the DVD release. (for continuity, just like replacing Original Anakin Sebastian Shaw in ROTJ with Hayden Christensen). Puppet did look younger and a little awkward.
Short version- Jedi vs. Sith: Jedi use/embrace the Light side of the Force, Sith employ the Dark side of the Force. Sith are not necessarily Jedi, but you can be seduced from the light to the dark side ( as Vader had).
first time watching one of your reactions ill have to check out your other star wars uploads. you are absolutely adorable and a work of art. keep up the good work darling
@@blackpatflynn thank you!
Qui gon wasn't wrong anakin does bring balance to the force by killing the Emperor
The reception for the prequels has only gained traction in the years since their release, and rightly so. Jar Jar aside, they gave us wonderful characters and an amazing backstory to a universe we love. Great reaction.
Anakin in the end did indeed bring balance to the force by killing the Emperor, he is/was always the chosen one.
Darth Maul Is my favourite Dark side Jedi in Star Wars Battlefront 2 PS4 his amazing in the game
Anakin actually does bring balance to the force, the Jedi have ruled the galaxy for centuries, so it was the sith’s turn. Plus anakin later kills Sidious and turns back to the light side
I agree with your observation that the tone was a bit "childish". I think that was a marketing approach to capture the youngest fans for toys and merchandise sales. They were seeking a new generation of fans to the franchise, but money was always a motivator. Jar Jar is an example of a character that was thrown into the mix for the little kids.
That wasn't a bad thing though.
You are correct btw. I think the tone of this one is meant to be that bit more child like probably to mirror Anakin’s own innocence during this time. I saw this in 1999 at the cinema when I was 10 and I had already grown up with original trilogy on VHS during the 90’s. So I had high expectations even at that age and while I really enjoyed it and still do, it’s nowhere near the level of the original trilogy. Episodes 2 and 3 progressively get darker, more adult and more violent. I think you will get a lot out of episode 3 in particular just because of the order (the correct order and best way in my opinion) you have watched them in 🙂
@@leadzeppbelly yes I watched 2 yesterday and really enjoyed it 😊
@@AbbyJaneReacts Aw excellent! In that case you will definitely love 3 then!
Oh btw after you have watched episode 3, I really really recommend watching the Star Wars series Andor. It takes places 5 years prior to A New Hope and follows how the Rebellion gets going so moves away from the characters we are used to but you quickly get invested. It’s very thought provoking and moving in places

Vader found out that mind tricks do indeed work on that species, but it usually kills them
Yeah Anakin was always the chosen one. Luke was just the catalyst for Anakin to finally fulfill the prophecy
This is where the fun begins 😉🔥
31:15 It gets worse, it means that in A New Hope, Aniken is the one who nearly killed R2 in the TIE Advanced.
31:50 The music track is called 'The duel of Fates'. Because they are fighting for the Anakin's fate...
I'd really recommend watching the clone wars series inbetween ep 2 and 3, it really builds up the universe, fixes some of the big issues with the prequels and adds so much weight to the whole story, its also pretty much the best star wars media thats ever been created besides old republic
I second that but I'd recommend doing it in chronological order instead of release order. When the episodes were released some episodes from season three were clearly meant to be watched with certain episodes from season one and season two since they pick up directly from plots in those episodes. Plus there's a few episodes sprinkled throughout the series that take place before the theatrical The Clone Wars movie that was released before the show premiered.
The Clone Wars miniseries from 2003 beats Filoniverse easy. No lorebreaking Mortis arc, no Ahsoka, no Maul. It simply fills the gap between Episdoe 2 and 3.
@@Sandlund93 gotta disagree with you there, ahsoka and maul were great additions imo, i also gave up caring too much about sw lore, they make up new rules and history with every project they make so why even stress
@@SinematicClips Yeah and that mess began with Filoni. By bringing back a character who was cut in half, he paved the way for where we are now. With characters sometimes surviving a lightsaber impalement and sometimes dying.
And sure, if George agreed to bring Maul back, he deserves some criticism too. But at least he had a vision in mind, having Maul as the main villain of the sequel trilogy. Which would have meant for him to lay low for decades, biding his time like a true Sith.
Instead, they ran out of ideas on what to do with him and decided to kill him off. Which meant that he achieved nothing, just like before. Because as with Starkiller, the canon didn't allow him to become someone of note. Unless he did it in hiding, leaving the story until at least Episode 6.
So his death on Tatooine just becomes an anti-climactic waste and disappointment. All those hours I tried to give a crap about his ambitions and that's what it boiled down to? Yet another failure. As if he had learned nothing in the 30 years since Episode 1. How is that even possible? I have no idea why people keep praising it.
And the story of Anakin was already told before they invented Ahsoka, she was superfluous from the start and remains so. In fact, why didn't she help Luke on Bespin and the Second Death Star? I guess Mandalore was more important, because Filoni wrote himself into a corner with her surviving the Clone Wars. And it's not like fans are craving an explanation anyway, which I find even more weird.
As for the history, I guess that's mainly coming in Dawn of the Jedi. But at this rate, I bet they'll find a way to botch that too.
1. Of the prequels I like this one the best, mostly for the POD race and the underwater sequences,
2. Jar Jar is mostly comic relief since we don't have C3PO
3. Liam Neeson was very busy with various productions at the time and was in huge demand and agreed to do this episode because Qui-Gon Jinn dies, and he won't be held to do more.
4. Divine conception?
5. It's easy to know why this one didn't start the series because of the lack of CGI back in 1977.
Put Watto up against Quark (DS9), his Dabo tables, and his rules of acquisition and let them face off for the most miserly, tight-wad in the cinematic universes.
Dear Abby, i would love to recommend you, Labyrinth from 1986
35:45 he did bring balance back, he killed the Sith Lord, to save Luke. in the end he turned back from the dark side. i saw this 3 times in the theatres when it came out, i thought it was a great addition! enjoy the rest of the films! great reaction 👍
Thank you!
It's funny how nobody understands that anakin doesn't have a father... he is born from the force... he is the chosen one
i absolutely love this trilogy. partly because i grew up with it but also because of the toxic romance between Ani and Padme xD its so tragic! get ready for crazy emotions in episode 3 lmao
Kiera Knightley is the decoy queen mostly when she is heavy in makeup.
Prefer this type of plain and simple editing than the floating circle faces.
Thanks for another awesome reaction. I enjoy that you've been genuine in your reactions and opinions about these movies. Most people who grew up with the originals share much of your opinions about this one. However, in time, after some rewatches and viewing of future content you may come back to find yourself having a higher opinion of this trilogy. It's just disappointing on the first watch because as a fan, you know they could have done better. Imagine having to wait 15 years for another star wars movie and this is what they follow up the original 3 with.... :/ 15...years... lol Lot's of time to think. Plan. Consider fandom fiction ideas. Get feed back. Have a budget and an idea to make something really really incredible and innovative. And we got Jar Jar Binks.
10 people using a grappling gun like batman to ascend a floor of a building. A kid who manages to win the war by happenstance just to beef up the hype of his character's future legacy. And perhaps even a CGI Yoda.
The movie is more childish in nature. You are 100% correct. Think about all of your favorite movies as a kid. They probably share the commonality of not dumbing down their content to appease to a younger age group. One of the best things the original movie did was to show the burnt Skelton corpses of Luke's foster parents. You don't have to be over the top graphic but you do have to show a level of truth to enjoy the pay off of the motivation that it gives the characters. Hunger is the best spice. Hurt and cruelty is the ying to the yang of purpose and bonds.
@@Novaximus thank you!! Yeah I can imagine the disappointment, but attack of the clones is much better
It's always funny to me that so many people see the double bladed lightsaber and go "that's unfair" when he's outnumbered 😅
In the end, Anakin did bring balance like the prophecy stated... just not in the way anyone was expecting, but he did destroy the Sith.
Bullying has been happening since children have been hanging around each other. It happened to me in the 70s in Southern California.... Social media has made more "mainstream" ... 🙄😕
@@raybernal6829 im sorry 🫶🏻 yeah I just thought that bullying actors was more of a recent thing because of the way social media is now
Make sure to note that Kenobi was hanging by his hands, unarmed, and Maul had the high ground and it made zero difference.
Once anakin got there all the council did was judge anakin and focusing on his future instead of focusing on the present and helping him lol especially mace windu. And I thought yoda was wise but nah
Exactly, instead of seeing Anakin through a lens of compassion and understanding the way that Qui Gon did they looked at him through a lens of judgment.
@@jmwilliamsartmore like a lens of caution. They weren’t exactly judging him, they were just too afraid of his potential to notice the path he was heading down.
Anakin actually did bring balance to the Force. If you remember in Return of the Jedi, how he tossed the Emperor down the shaft, that's how he did it. Qui-Gon wasn't wrong. The Force was imbalanced because the Emperor was in power and the dark side of the Force was stronger for a long time until Luke and his friends came along.
Speaking of how easy it would be to fall to the Dark Side... Not seeing the "bad part" about people - in this case many Gungans - dying, and just shrugging and going "oh well" is definitely a large leap towards the Dark Side. Other such moves towards the Dark Side would be judging people as less than because of their species, their mannerisms or their looks. Not to mention wishing death on anyone, even the enemy. So, yes. Falling to the Dark Side is absolutely quite easy, and it can happen in subtle ways, without you even realizing it.
The good thing is though, that if one does happen to fall to the Dark Side, they can in many, if not most cases be redeemed, and brought back to the Light. They do, however, have to want that.
I guess it's a good thing is that the "Dark Side" is fictional. Well, at least in the way it's depicted in Star Wars. If the Force was real in our world, it might not quite be in balance.
A lot of people don't love this movie.
One thing this trilogy does justice to is Darth Sidious AKA the future emperor i think he comes out this trilogy looking the best
Don't worry most people hated this one too. Jar Jar was voted the most hated character in Star Wars.
And none of that hate has ever made any sense or been justified.
Jake Lloyd wasn't the only one who had a bad experience because of this movie. Ahmed Best, who mo-capped Jar Jar and voiced him, received so much hate mail that he considered suicide.
While the original trilogy was much better than the prequel trilogy, I never thought the prequel trilogy was as bad as many thought. As you watch the other two films in this trilogy, you can see how much more of what are in the following movies could have been put into this movie by not spending so much time on Anakin's childhood and the pod races (pod races to sell video games), and Jar Jar (to sell toys).
ANDOR THE BEST Star wars series
So Abby the phantom menace ; is Darth Sidious ! who is the single greatest representation of the Sith emerging from - thought (extinction) .. but Darth Sidious plan was to infiltrate the republic and create division which would ultimately effect the Jedi order, .. which was his primary target!! so in this movie Darth Sidious creates a trade dispute preventing access via trade routes to Naboo, however Ben Kenobi’s master Qui Gon realised there is no purpose in it, thus allowing the senate to focus on a way in which to settle the dispute!! and at the same time without being detected!!!allow Darth Sidious the necessary time to begin play for a place within the senate and then make way for his true mission …. eradicate the Jedi order …. The story continues

Yes Lloyd was bullied as a young kid and it ruined his life. Ahmed Best the guy that does the motion capture for Jar Jar was driven to the point of suicide by the online fandom community. It does not stop with Star Wars and it continues even to today. There is money to be made in online hate. TH-cam, Tik Tok and various podcasts and forums where people call themselves "real fans" of something and they get rewarded for clicks and traffic that their hate produces. Many actors in video games that do the voice work have been attacked online and sent hate. I am dreading the second season of The Last of Us because in the game the actor for the character that is an antagonist to the story is going to be played by a new actor on screen. The voice actor got so much hate she had to drop social media until things blew over. Sci Fi and Fantasy fandoms have come after people from Marvel to Star Wars and to The Last of Us. People will just not like a storyline or the fact a woman or minority is playing a character. The best these actors can do is get off social media when their project comes out. I am to the point that I don't want people to know I am a Star Wars fan because I don't want to associate with some of these people. I honestly think my days of giving any money to a popular franchise is over because I think they all breed a very negative fandom.
@@rnkelly36 yeah it is such a sad reality and I hate that people target the actors because at the end of the day they’re just doing a job. The whole ‘go woke go broke’ wave that’s going around isn’t helping, because as soon as these people see a woman or a person of color like you said they just become extremely hateful :(
@AbbyJaneReacts Hate is a natural response to aggressive and subversive attempts at propaganda. Don't p*ss on my head and tell me it's raining. You don't get to play the victim when siding with the billionaire classes propaganda. Jake Lloyds bullying has nothing to do with current backlash against the regimes attempts to introduce subversive ideas
PREQUEL GANG 🫡🔥🍻
Sith, are not always fallen Jedi. They are Force sensitive beings though, that rely on their passion for their power, vs the Jedi being more compassionate. Typically the Jedi take children as young as 3 years old to begin their training as Younglings, so they don't have any emotional attachments. "Being too old" is a common thread in the Star Wars saga (Luke, Anakin). R2 wasn't Anakin's droid, but Padme's.
26:00 the Sith are a dark cult of Force-wielders who are the archenemies of the Jedi. They are known for their red-bladed lightsabers, black clothing, and use of aggressive emotions. The Sith are driven by anger, pain, and greed, and their ultimate goal is to destroy the Jedi and rule the galaxy
Qui-Gon Jin wasn't wrong, miss. You've seen the original trilogy, yes? You should know this. Anakin kills the emperor at the end of episode 6.
Anakin still was the chosen one though, because he killed Darth Sidious in RotJ ending the reign of the Sith bringing the force back into balance.
@25:58 a Sith is much more than a fallen Jedi, or "Dark Jedi" as they are called in lore. The Sith have a code, and purpose. Their enemy has been and forever will be the Jedi. Dark Jedi tend to pursue less grandiose, more selfish goals. Without allegiance to any code or group.
poor jar jar 😭😭
Actually Qui-Gon wasn't wrong Anakin was the chosen one he did bring balance to the Force when he betrayed his master Darth sidious to save his son the prophecy doesn't say how he brings balance to the force or when he does it it just says that he will. In episode 6 return of the Jedi the title return of the Jedi is not referring to Luke Skywalker it is referring to Anakin Skywalker returning back to the light destroying the emperor saving his son and becoming a Jedi once again
You look like padma, By the way. From attack of the clones. An just a compliment by the way. But you think so?
When the 'Phantom Menace' came out, it'd been 16 years since ROTJ was in cinemas.
So the expectation for this film was through the roof. There is no way it could have possibly lived up to expectations and it was a huge disappointment at the time. All anyone wanted to know was - How does Anakin become Darth Vader...... But what we got was 2 hours of very confusing politics & pod racing!
25yrs later "The Phantom Menace" has aged pretty well but in 1999 it was a massive let down.
It’s still bad.
@@frankducky6130 Yeah it is BUT it's an absolute classic now when compared to the 2015 (and later) Star Wars efforts.
('Rogue One' gets an honorary pass)
@@Mantis_Toboggan_MD. Umm...nope. Force Awakens at least has energy and likeable characters. At least I was pulled into the storyline. PM is great for insomnia. The story was boring. Jar Jar Binks was stupid and offensive. The kid wasn't a good actor (no kid is). Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor look like they are about the fall asleep at any moment...
@@frankducky6130 First of all, Jake Lloyd did his very best and it's bullies like you who drove the actor to such terrible place in life. Second, The Farce Awakens is a blatant rip-off of the first film A New Hope. I'd rather something with the slightest touch of originality than that puke and many more are coming to that realisation.
If you don't enjoy films like this, its very simple: stop wasting your time with reaction videos and leave us who do like them the hell alone.
The army of the republic are not stormtroopers.
The clones are dedicated to the republic .
The stormtroopers are a mix of a doffret clone template ( s) & recuits ftom the army specficly the top 5% or so .
The stormtroopers have a shorter training cycle for starters 4 yrs vs 10 .
Various specialties like scout ,commando ,royal gaurd, possibility dark jedi
Anakin's path to bringing balance to the force was not a straight one. I'm fact it was the messiest it could have possibly been. But he did get there eventually. Eventually he did destroy the sith and being balance to the force
❤
Yes yoda was right. Anakin shouldn't have been trained but hindsight is 20/20.
I used to be so innocent
I think you would like to know that Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader was the chosen one and he did bring balance to the force. It was a prophecy and you already saw how he ultimately succeeded in bringing balance when he killed the emperor and removed the threat of the Sith. That was a huge part of his redemption arc. Also the Mandalorian and Boba Fett shows expand on the nature of the Sand People of Tatooine.
So it begins... 😅. But seriously, if you're going to watch star wars; do yourself a favour by at least not skipping Andor, or the Clone Wars TV series. In my humble opinion, The bad batch, &/or Rebels are also worthy additions, but their not remotely on parr with the former pair. Regardless, they all provide sooo much context for the greater franchise.
Now, for the sake of continuity here's the order they should be watched in (it's ok to watch them out of order of course, but the overall narrative is more confusing if you do). Attack of the Clones, Clone Wars TV series, Revenge of the Sith (seriously, if you still retain the empathy you show in prior videos, then this one WILL make you cry; especially after watching the clone wars TV series), The Bad Batch, Andor, Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, A New Hope.
Also; if you REALLY wanna dig deeper into this universe, I dare you to read or listen to the book; Darth Plageus: by James Luceno (it also hints pretty heavily at answers to questions you ask during this reaction). Set before the phantom menace, it gives LOADS of extra material about alot of things (phantom menace included). Star Wars really is a DEEP rabbit hole (possibly matched only by the Warhammer 40,000 universe: particularly its Horus Heresy era); at least if one goes by Legends continuity, it's that good. As for me, I personally don't acknowledge significant portions of Dysney's timeline. Not to spoil things, but two great examples of the expanded context can be found in the Trade Federation; & Maul. Plageus does a decent job of elaborating on both (as expected, seeing as neither are main characters in that book), but Rebels & the Clone Wars TV series do WONDERS at making Maul into a fully fleshed out character. I swear; if you truly absorb all three of those previously mentioned entries in the Star Wars saga, and not end up at least understanding why that guy is the way he is, I'll be seriously surprised...
Oh; other guys you might wanna observe. If you decide on diving into the rabbit hole that is...
Firstly; Count. Dooku (particularly in light of your reaction to the Phantom Menace). Won't say anything about him yet though; that would only spoil the next 2 main films. Not to mention the Clone Wars TV series; & several episodes of the Bad Batch. Buuut... I will say that reading Dark Rendezvous: By Sean Stewart, & Legacy of the Jedi: By Jude Watson, do humanise him. Like Maul, he's also best viewed in film & TV through other books. Plus certain bits from Tales of the Jedi (segments of that conflict with legends, but their still good to watch).
Then there's Grand. Admiral. Thrawn. Ohhh boy, your in for a treat when you first see him 😎. Although; a word of warning, thanks to Disney taking advantage of his popularity in Legends, they've SIGNIFICANTLY altered his Cannon timeline (particularly through Rebels). So you'll have to bear that in mind when observing him. Nevertheless, there's a reason he's so loved by fans, no matter which continuity one acknowledges. Heir to the Empire, & it's trilogy: by Timothy Zahn, is critical if going by Legends. Otherwise, the Ascendancy & Thrawn trilogies; also, by Timothy Zahn, are great for understanding him better if acknowledging dysney cannon.
Regardless of whether you choose to peruse the wider tales of this franchise however, congratulations & thank you, for dipping your toe in. 🎉
Ps: Hope these recommendations didn't take up too much of your time ☺️.
Wow I knew there was a lot of Star Wars content but there’s a lot more than I imagined! My plan was to watch the movies first and then if there was any interest to watch some of the series to watch some of them as well. I will probably end up watching every single show just not sure which ones I will make videos out of. Andor has been requested a few times so that one I’ll react to for sure! The clone wars is quite long so I’m not sure if I’ll make any videos about it, I’ll ask if it’s something people want to see, but I will watch it for sure. I love getting recommendations so thank you ! 🫶🏻
