I always loved that bit right at the start where Padme’s decoy gets blown up and her dying words are “I’m sorry m'lady, I failed you”. No, you pretty much just fulfilled the job description to a T
Bro she is dying and is shell shocked, she doesn't know what she is saying or what is going on. I swear you prequal haters love grasping at straws, just think about it for 2 seconds and you'll find an explanation. Everything in the films is made that way for a reason and almost all of it is explained at one point or another, just pay attention.
@@BoleDaPole Dude, you are projecting. You’ve got to be grasping at straws to defend such a bad script. It’s ok to like stuff that isn’t good. There are things to like about these films, but the dialogue is not one of them.
In the Imperial period, the Romans executed lots of people by letting them get gored and killed by wild animals in the Colosseum. Sometimes the shows would be designed to replicate mythological stories, sometimes not. A lot of early Christian martyrs were killed this way, like Perpetua, who was gored and trampled by a mad cow.
@@krzychuka Not necessarily. Plus if they regularly had these sort of executions for less important people then the quality of creatures involved could vary.

My consciousness turned on when I was about 3 years old watching this movie for the first time in the movie theater. That Jedi Battle on Geonosis is the first thing I remember in my life.
“If you were a changerling what would you change into?” “Anything else, I simply would not stay exactly the same” Words of wisdom I wish George Lucas was as smart as you two
God i can't wait for Revenge of the Sith COG, which hopefully will consist of 40 minutes of James & Mason repeating "You won't get away this time... Dookuuuu"
I saw a first-day showing in San Francisco. When Anakin told Padme he was in agony, someone in the crowded theater yelled, “So are we!” The place went wild. It was perfect.
The Jedi Council: “ok guys…we’ve gotta protect Senator Amidala from our old friend Christopher Lee who’s trying to do a Civil War. Anakin! You’re a hormonal teenager with an obvious crush who has trouble controlling his emotions….YOU take her! Go to this romantic lakeside villa and be sure to keep an eye on the Senator while we do nothing about this mysterious army that practically fell into our laps. Someone ordered it right around the time we found out the Sith were back but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence. We’ll meet you on geonosis right after Windu over there decapitates Jango Fett in front of his child/clone. “
After the DVD came out, the seismic charge sound was something I would play on repeat though through my 5.1 setup. The bass from my subwoofer would rattle the my windows and scare the HELL out of my mom and siblings. I would say I don't do such things anymore and chock it up to being a teenager at the time. But, as married 35 year old adult, I still do stuff like this. I'm not sorry.
@@HOTD108_ they are, in fact, a species of subterranean canine known for their deep, resonant bark. The rich sound this highly sought-after creature makes is also known as a "woof", which is why they are most commonly referred to as "subwoofers".
Obi Wan is actually an incredible detective in this movie. He tracks Jango to the separatist planet meaning that Dooku must have known the clone army the entire time and allowed them to be created and therefore they can't trust the clones.....the only mistake he makes is that he forgets to tell anyone so the third movie can happen.
18:49 So that's 2 generations of Fetts then who died due to jetpack malfunction. Boba didn't need to take over from Jabba, he could've just sued the jetpack company and buy an even bigger palace.
I’ve always liked AotT more than TPM, I like the detective storyline with Obi-Wan and love the look and aesthetics of Kamino, and the fight with Jango. Christopher Lee elevates Count Dooku, IMO, just brings a certain gravitas to the role,and I think the general political narrative is more interesting, with the Galactic Senate breaking and leading to a civil war.
when I say Clones is my favorite prequel people usually look at me funny, so it's nice to hear there are others who like it for the same reasons I do. Gumshoe Obi-Wan is best Obi, love Temuera as Jango, Dooku is an interesting take on a Sith lord, a lot of the visuals and music is fantastic and the action scenes are all stellar.
Do you mean AotC? Otherwise I probably agree for the most part about it being better than TPM. I think Phantom Menace makes less missteps in telling it's story, but when JarJar is involved it's like saying you made the perfect ham and cheese sandwich except that you accidentally used wallpaper paste instead of butter. It's just one mistake but I don't want to eat it any more.
@@deathboyinc I remember as a kid I had this dvd and I would just skip to the Obi-Wan scenes, then just watch from the factory on. The dvd chapters lined up perfectly with this.
How dare you not mention Padme getting knocked off that aircraft, falling, being knocked unconscious by the fall, being woken up by a clone trooper, and immediately saying "We gotta get to that hangar!" Amazing writing.
@@harrambou9468 That George Lucas on many occasions demonstrates the "shitty is good enough" philosophy of filmmaking. He didn't bother coming up with a *reason* Padme would know where they went. He just knows Padme needs to show up there (oddly, she really didn't) so he puts it in the script despite the fact that it doesn't make any sense.
I legitimately couldn't stop chuckling when Anakin and Obi-wan's death via power couplings was being chronicled. It's why Caravan of Garbage is the best in the business!
I was about to criticize the lack of discussion about the Clones and their role in this movie, but then I realized that you were simply being accurate to how the movies treated the Clones anyways.
27:16 this recap is perfect, I've literally never thought about this scene that way and it makes it so much better. It genuinely rivals cosmonaut's recap of the assassination plot.
@@jokerknight1247 Hell yes. My favorite part though is when Anakin is talking to Padme and telling her how beautiful she is, then Cosmonaut puts deep breathing sounds over Anakin’s zoomed in face 🤣.

Although it was a joke, in all honesty The Temple of Doom had a lot more care for the screenplay and script writing than the first two prequels. Still one of my favorite movies of all time
They had lot of problems filming it too. Ford was injured while filming so they had to adjust it to salvage the movie and it's a testament to everyone's skill that the movie works. Honestly I think it has a much more coherent narrative than Raiders does, with a very clear character arc for Indy.
@@Lukkilikka a more coherent narrative? How. I mean all three films have mostly simple understandable narratives becuz they are adventure films. In the case of temple of doom there's all this weird stuff about voodoo, slave labour, sacrifices, all this background stuff about the people and these stones and their magic etc etc. All that Raiders is: Nazis want Ark which can unleash great power. We don't need to have all this random stuff explained to us, just that the ark is powerful, its mysterious and simple. Temple of Doom is overly complicated and spends most of the film just in one place. There is very little action except in the final 20-30 minutes where all of its condensed in one big overlong set piece. Raiders spaces out the action and actually provides adventure for the main character to go on.
The one thing I hate about Temple of Doom is there's a callback to Raiders where someone comes at Indy with a sword and he casually reaches for his gun - but he doesn't have his gun! Oh no! - which only works as a gag for the audience, because Temple is chronologically earlier. So by Raiders, he had learned to... always have his gun on him, I guess...? He doesn't check with his eyes at any point. Maybe he can tell by the weight.
I strongly dislike temple of doom. Huge missfire with annoying characters, cringe cultural elements, and an unpleasant tone throughout. Honestly it's only better than crystal skull because of the awesome opening scene.
Anakin and Padmè's romance in this film is the worst cinematic romance I have ever seen. Anakin: "I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead. Every single on of them. And not just the men. But the women... and the children too. They're like animals so I slaughtered them like animals! I HATE THEM!" Padmè: "Yeah, whatever, wanna go save Obi-Wan and get married later?"
You know what's funny about Shmi's death and the effects it has on Anakin? There's literally no reason for him to believe that she was still a slave for all that time. He never blames himself for not freeing her, not on screen at any rate. He never blames the Jedi for not freeing her, or not letting him go and free her. He blames the Tuskens for killing her, and himself for not being able to save her. I can't think of any good reason, considering all that, why Anakin couldn't know that his mother was freed by Lars. We can make the Jedi look well-meaning but ineffectual by having them send somebody to pick up Shmi, only to find that she's already been freed, then shrug and go "Ah well, no point in hanging around here now" and report back. If Anakin mentions his nightmares to Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan just tells him: "Your mother is safe, don't worry about it, remember to let go of attachment" then what really changes in Anakin's motivation? He can still make the choice to abandon his protection duties and jet off to Tatooine; he didn't go there to free Shmi, but because he was having prophetic nightmares about her. It's not like he was likely to go and visit her as a free woman, when he never managed to get time to visit her when he thought she was a slave, promise to free her be damned.
Admittedly this part is a big vague in the film but thankfully gets covered in the Episode II novelisation , but from what we can assume from the film is that Anakin didn't feel a need to free his mother as she worked for Watto doing basic domestic labor, and was later freed. We can also assume that he could feel she was happy or content, because he felt her pain later on which made him go find her. I'm sure he would've wanted to go back home but he was far too busy training to become a Jedi. It's almost like the film is trying to teach us about sacrifice , idk 🤷♂️
I don't think freeing slaves was the job the Jedi. It is clear in the first episode that not even Padme could free her, even though she had political power. Qui-gonn and Obi Wan see all the slaves in Tatooine but do nothing about it because in a way they exist to uphold the current political order. They are not just "guardians of the galaxy" in a trite sense where any wrondoing is punished by them. They are still an arm of the Republic and tatooine is run by mafia-like people that are very difficult to uproot, just like on planet Earth. In a way, part of the Jedi training was letting go of attachment regardless of whether the people you are attached to during childhood are safe or not. I mean, letting go of attachment is not only "I let go when I know they are safe" but also the opposite, "I let go even though I know they are in pain", which can instil fear and anger into a Jedi etc etc...
I think people don't give enough credit to some of the creativity in this film, especially on Geonosis with the battle at the end. You've got a desert world that feels different to Tatooine, flying bug people, each of the arena monsters feel very unique. Even Kamino, it's not just a water world of fish people that you see in countless sci fi stories, the people have long necks and the buildings are on stilts, with a harsh white interior. The ST had some cool ideas like the salt planet Crait and the junk planet Jakku, but a lot of the worlds just felt bland. The Obi-wan plot is good. It's really the Anakin/Padme Romance that really drags the movie down to most people. But when I first saw this as a kid, I was at that age where it seemed like *all* movies had a "boring talking bit" before you got to the good stuff.
That's a good point you made about Geonosis that I hadn't noticed, it's a dessert planet but not like any we've seen, but then the sequels just give us two more dessert planets that look identical to Tattooine
@@more-reasons6655 Well, I at least give Crait and Jakku credit for putting somewhat of a spin on it. (The red sand and salt for Crait, the crashed ships for Jakku). But yeah, they look so similar lots of people thought Jakku *was* Tatooine when the trailers first came out.
i love the idea that anakin (being way more powerful than he realises) is accidentally making padme fall in love with him because she actively does not like him, and the more she is in proximity to him the more she falls for that absolute psycho manbaby
People are quick to throw out this explanation, when the most we ever see Jedi do with mind altering is trick "weak minded" into repeating everything they say in a monotone. That kind of subtle personality influence just isn't shown anywhere else. I'm don't know why people are so eager to use "Anakin is an unintentional date rapist" as an excuse when "it's bad relationship writing, just ignore that part" is a much less gross excuse.
Or we go with what Padme says in the film, that she does like Anakin but she is a lot more level headed to realise that people in their position and walks of life cant be together. She brought up whether or not Anakin was allowed to love, she brought up the story about a boy she liked to make him jealous and it's most likely the first time she's been without a pack of security since her time on Tattoine with Anakin so got to feel like a regular person rather than a queen/senator
@@starwarsnerd100 That's the most we see *intentionally* We know that untrained force users don't know they're using their abilities they just think they're lucky or charming
In the fight with Dooku, why does Yoda struggle with the giant rock instead of just pulling Obi wan and anakin out of the way with the force? And yes Yoda should never have used a light saber he should be so powerful he doesn't need it, nevermind all that jumping and spinning daftness.
If you want Yoda to use a lightsaber have him wield like 12 tiny ones with his mind and Yoda just stands there motionless while they spin and twirl around him in perfect unison
Sith shouldn’t have used lightsabers either. The emperor calls it a “Jedi weapon” as if sith are above that. My assumption was that Vader only used one because he was an ex Jedi. But now they all do and they’re red cos they’re the bad guys. So fucking lame.
@@Bloodynine606 I always thought the Sith should have more powerful and varied force powers than the Jedi, but they are just better at lightsaber fighting + have lightning. Also the fight in Palpatine's office is the worst example of this, where the guy who calls it a jedi weapon apparently has a custom one himself. The fight should have been Palpatine killing the Jedi without a saber, and then being forced to use one to fight Windu.
you know, now that you bring it up, that lightsaber really wasn't with the skywalkers long. Anakin had it for like 3 years, the obi wan kept it in a box for 20, Luke used it for maybe a year, then it sat in someone else's box for another 20.
Regarding the Anakin legacy lightsaber, that's such a good point that the sequels get so wrong. Why is Anakin's lightsaber s important? Luke barely uses it and it disappears on his hand. Then, in The Rise Of Skywalker, when touching the dagger, Rey mentions it's seen terrible things, despite literally always using the Child-killer 5000!
What? Rey literally has a huge trippy nightmare that makes her run away and says "I’m never touching that again" when she picked it up. And that was BEFORE she had harnessed and understood her connection to the force.
@@siobibble9078 Rey's vision has almost no reference to Luke or Anakin using the lightsaber, if anything the vision is more of her own past and future. She is scared of the lightsaber but not because of what the lightsaber has done
Man I was already in my mid-teens and halfway through high school when this came out, saw it back-to-back with the first Spider-Man alongside my mom, kid bro and a couple of other students from a homeschooled collective (we were all being homeschooled in high school at that point, with a number of dual-enrollment courses included before college). And this was also the age when I was REALLY getting interested in movies and one year before I took a summer filmmaking course at NC-School of the Arts in Winston-Salem (with the filmmaking department being recently added to the others then, now it's part of the official UNC system.) Just over two decades ago, boy has time really flown by!
In retrospect I thought it really nailed the whole "Incel to fash" pipeline they had going on with Anakin.That impressionable naive binary moded stunted emotionality victimized outrage proto hitler youth thing, I felt made sense and was the right approach. I think that's emotionally accurate As for the yoda fight I just thought it was a bad call having him fight like that, I remember kinda liking it for what it was , it was just on the edge of cringe at the time. I thought he would be more reliant on the force like maybe have multiple lightsabers hovering about or maybe he should've been more like Luke in TLJ where it's high passive subterfuge and misdirection.
Yoda feels like a character they massively wasted the potential of in the prequels. When I was a kid watching Empire Strikes Back i always imagined Yoda being this being who used to be a powerful jedi, but has grown so old that that was part of his real distant past. The idea of him having a focus on force power in his old age during this era would have been *really* cool and would have given his scenes a real presence, it would make them really stand out. Instead he's just... a regular, slightly quicker, way goofier looking jedi like any other. I don't mind it, but t's real silly and could have been so much more. To put my view into context, I think every film post-Empire is flawed in its own way, but the fun outweighs the flaws and I love every one of them for what they are anyway.
I was living in Philadelphia and a co-worker of mine helped out at a rehab center. He had a box with Taco Bell and Phantom Menace logos on it. I got him to open it up and it was filled with bunch of unsold Jar Jar Binks cups from 1999. If you’re looking to complete your collection there’s a half way house in north Philly with a ton of those things.
I would argue that if yoda had to have lightsaber combat skills, it would all be defensive and even have an edge of mischief where in he uses the flow or his opponents attacks to make them run into their own mistakes as they begin to lose focus of their emotions growing frustrated with the way a true master of the force fights. A true Jedi. Like imagine he strifes jukes and guards with his lightsaber and only ever guards and he does it almost like a rhythmic dance moving in Harmony with the flow of the force. Imagine neat lore shit like that which would not only strengthen a character arc but also make more sense cohesively with the over all themes of the story
I never understood why in that dialogue scene with Dooku the captured Obi-Wan was so resistant, like "I'll never join you." 1) Why not? Maybe hear him out? He doesn't sound completely unreasonable, and 2) Maybe *pretend* like you're going along with it, and then escape? Or kill him? I don't know. These movies are bad. I love them.
@@busyak Obiwan is so focused on following the Jedi code that it makes total sense for him not to agree with Dooku plus the movies were about showing that the Jedi were definitely not perfect and May have caused their downfall in revenge of the sith
Oh please do a Caravan of Garbage for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! I remember enjoying it as a child when my dad rented it but I recently fell asleep with thirty minutes during an attempted viewing.
Honestly, I’ve always felt that the true sin of the sequel trilogy is not producing pieces of music on par with the prequels. Duel of the Fates, Anakin and Padme’s Love Theme, the theme of Revenge. All great and really, only Rey’s Theme can hold a candle to any of this
I did enjoy the fight with Jango, the colosseum scene and the fight with Dooku but most of it was enjoyable as a kid. Not so much now. It wasn't as good as I remember
We are clear that the best one can say about any of the prequels is that there are redeeming features, yes? There’s no sane universe where one can call these films “good” in any measurable way.
You must be new around here. Get ready to have your entire understanding of cinema and storytelling questioned once the Prequel crowd find this comment. XD
A look at the Dooku episodes of 'Tales of the Jedi' wouldn't go amiss. A lot of depth to his character and visualisation to what we had been told before.
Perfect point about Dooku. If they actually stuck to that you couldve had more jedi switch to the dark side than just die and vanish. Then the sequels could've been Luke training Rei and the others to help with the re-emergence of the sith. Instead of a repeat of the originals
Eh. Having a bunch of other Jedi turn to the Dark Side makes Anakin less unique. Plus it goes against the whole "Rule of Two" thing. (Yeah I know EU stuff added the Inquisitors as other dark Jedi who technically weren't breaking that rule, but the whole PT emphasizes that there are only two Sith they're looking for). And for the ST, saying "oh yeah, there were a bunch of Order 66 survivors just waiting to come out of hiding" would have been seen as an ass pull just like "somehow Palpatine returned".
@@starwarsnerd100 come on bruh. Palpy returned because the dark side of the force is a path way to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He said it in the movie at some point.. I think.
@@starwarsnerd100 yea but at least we could get a real war like the og clone wars. Have Rei Finn and Po all defeat a sith with their own skills. And if Palpatine returns let Luke finish it. Kylo would be more vador like if when he showed up it was like the night king arriving. Then he has a final showdown with Rei and she talk no jutsu him to the light.
@@milespannell6266 Your second comment is so unrelated to your first comment i'm not really sure what point you're trying to make, other than having more people with lightsabers on both sides would have made for more action. Which I guess could have worked, but isn't really related to AOTC.
Personally, I love this film's love story within the context that Anakin is powerful enough with the force that he is unconsciously (or consciously?) bending Padme's will. That is why despite his terrible advances and murder admissions she is still falling further in love. It puts a pretty sinister spin on the whole movie. Almost makes up for that terrible lightsaber duel.
This is the first one of your videos I've seen, and I love it! Both the editing and your commentary is hilarious and entertaining. At the same time, you guys provide a lot of information. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to binge watch more of your videos . . .
Listened to the podcast version of this when it came out, just here to say that "the sound of the bomb going 'bwaaaaahm'". interceded by Maso saying that he likes that and the image of the guy with his headphones is exactly how I feel about that noise and the bombs I refer to as Hamburgers due to their shape in Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
The best parts of this movie are when (1) Yoda just held out his hand with a nonplussed look on his face and made his v sheer jump right into it; and 😎 (2) how Yoda only kicked ass when no one was watching, and then when witnesses show up, he grabs his cane and starts limping around again...🤣
Yoda should never have used a light saber in the films. defeats the whole purpose of him in the OT where this little green guy is not what he a appears and is really the most powerful wizard in the galaxy. so powerful that he doesn't even bother with a laser sword
The biggest cinema in oslo Norway got a brand new THX system, that rumor has Lucas himself helped set up for the premiere of attack of the clones.. And if I'm not mistaken we got it a few days early because of the deal he had made with that Cinema.. For anyone curious it's Colloseum Kino in Oslo
Dude. Darth Jar Jar is real. It makes sense from a storytelling standpoint as an echo of Yoda. Remember how Yoda was introduced? The comic figure in the swamp. Ok, that part only lasted about five minutes, but having Jar Jar introduced as a comic figure then be revealed as the Sith leader would have made sense.
The part that always tied my brain into a knot about the love story in this movie is when Anakin is talking blatantly about over throwing the Senate to a dictatorship during their date in the grass. And they just kind of laugh it off and pretend like he didn't just say that and it's always weird because padme had heard that and even responded to it but didn't dive deeper into that. Especially he follows it up later in the movie with the tantrum about killing the women and children. It baffles me that the relationship even got off the ground to begin with. The relationship and romance is the worst part of this movie. I remember when I saw this when I was 8 and I didn't like it then. Today I still don't really care for this movie either. It's my least favorite Star Wars movie.
All the behind the scenes info I learn about the prequels is “it was going to be revealed that [insert character] was behind [insert important plot event] in the next movie” and then none of these ideas were followed through on. I mean I can’t imagine that they would have made the prequels “good” films but these ideas sure sound more interesting than what we got. Just one more reason why these huge franchise series should really be planned out extensively ahead of time. The Jazz-FrenchNewWave-esque improvisational filmmaking really just doesn’t work when the poetics is the most important aspect of a saga.
30:15 as I understand it, the idea of having three villains in the prequels is to show the three facets of Darth Vader. Darth Maul: The sith assassin. Count Dooku: The fallen Jedi. Grievous: The cyborg. Put them all together and you get the ultimate sith apprentice. Darth Vader.
Here's a thing I noticed: the very last shot of the movie, when you see the troopers marching up the Star Destroyer ramp, for a brief moment the music turns into the Game of Thrones theme! GoT came much later obviously, so might just be a coincidence but it's very clearly the same music
I’ve always had the feeling that the lightsaber was a technology that replaces a past force power. Like it used to be a controlled force lightning or focused plasma that was used by high powered force users as a sword weapon and eventually got updated with different tech so it didn’t require as much power to use. Maybe the crystal was used with force lightning to create a plasma and then focused with telekinesis. Over time a power plant was incorporated into a handle and then eventually other electronics were used to control the plasma. It was just something about the way it was revered in the first movie that made it seem like a more dangerous weapon that couldn’t be used by non force users, but the incarnation that we know is just too easy for anyone to pickup and wield. Cause if it’s just the deadly aspect of it that requires focus and foresight to use, that can be said of any weapon. Idk, maybe it’s just a class thing and a lightsaber just meant anyone seeing you using one knew it meant you were highly trained and it would be kill or be killed. So to pick one up if not trained properly was just a death sentence from force users.
The funniest thing to me about this movie is that when the gunship drops off obi wan and anakin to fight dooku and then get blown up, a clone jumps off and tries to join them nuts get shot off the platform. Thinking about an alternate universe where the single generic clone joins them for the fight against dooku.

After the DVD came out, the seismic charge sound was something I would play on repeat though through my 5.1 setup. The bass from my subwoofer would rattle the my windows and scare the HELL out of my mom and siblings. I would say I don't do such things anymore and chock it up to being a teenager at the time. But, as married 35 year old adult, I still do stuff like this. I'm not sorry.
I always chuckle when I hear the word "subwoofer". It sounds like some kind of strange dog.

Rogue squadron 2 had them and I loved spinning and dropping 3 at a time
what...a...badass....
Obi Wan is actually an incredible detective in this movie. He tracks Jango to the separatist planet meaning that Dooku must have known the clone army the entire time and allowed them to be created and therefore they can't trust the clones.....the only mistake he makes is that he forgets to tell anyone so the third movie can happen.
I never thought about that. 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, none of us could believe that this mystical, wise, old Jedi actually had this secret big cock.
And after he showed dooku his penis, he got out his light sabre.

I’ve always liked AotT more than TPM, I like the detective storyline with Obi-Wan and love the look and aesthetics of Kamino, and the fight with Jango. Christopher Lee elevates Count Dooku, IMO, just brings a certain gravitas to the role,and I think the general political narrative is more interesting, with the Galactic Senate breaking and leading to a civil war.
I agree. Plus, even though Anakin is a whiny teenager, at least he isn't a precocious little kid who can't wield a lightsabre.
Agreed. I've always said if you just skip the Padme / Anakin scenes , it's a great movie with lots of super entertaining scenes and concepts
when I say Clones is my favorite prequel people usually look at me funny, so it's nice to hear there are others who like it for the same reasons I do.
Gumshoe Obi-Wan is best Obi, love Temuera as Jango, Dooku is an interesting take on a Sith lord, a lot of the visuals and music is fantastic and the action scenes are all stellar.
Do you mean AotC?
Otherwise I probably agree for the most part about it being better than TPM.
I think Phantom Menace makes less missteps in telling it's story, but when JarJar is involved it's like saying you made the perfect ham and cheese sandwich except that you accidentally used wallpaper paste instead of butter. It's just one mistake but I don't want to eat it any more.
@@deathboyinc I remember as a kid I had this dvd and I would just skip to the Obi-Wan scenes, then just watch from the factory on. The dvd chapters lined up perfectly with this.

How dare you not mention Padme getting knocked off that aircraft, falling, being knocked unconscious by the fall, being woken up by a clone trooper, and immediately saying "We gotta get to that hangar!" Amazing writing.
...what’s your point 🤨
@@harrambou9468 That George Lucas on many occasions demonstrates the "shitty is good enough" philosophy of filmmaking. He didn't bother coming up with a *reason* Padme would know where they went. He just knows Padme needs to show up there (oddly, she really didn't) so he puts it in the script despite the fact that it doesn't make any sense.
@@harrambou9468 His point is it’s fucking dumb🤣
I legitimately couldn't stop chuckling when Anakin and Obi-wan's death via power couplings was being chronicled. It's why Caravan of Garbage is the best in the business!
I was about to criticize the lack of discussion about the Clones and their role in this movie, but then I realized that you were simply being accurate to how the movies treated the Clones anyways.
Anakin is very talented if he can chop max 5cm worms off a human body with a sword in one swing
27:16 this recap is perfect, I've literally never thought about this scene that way and it makes it so much better. It genuinely rivals cosmonaut's recap of the assassination plot.

He’s spent 10 years training having ONLY her and his mother to think about. ‘Never quite learned the game 😂

14:40 the jedi order being a bunch of union busters is the type of content that elevates this channel above the rest, that and "all star wars character are 100m tall" theory.
Although it was a joke, in all honesty The Temple of Doom had a lot more care for the screenplay and script writing than the first two prequels. Still one of my favorite movies of all time
They had lot of problems filming it too. Ford was injured while filming so they had to adjust it to salvage the movie and it's a testament to everyone's skill that the movie works. Honestly I think it has a much more coherent narrative than Raiders does, with a very clear character arc for Indy.
@@Lukkilikka a more coherent narrative? How. I mean all three films have mostly simple understandable narratives becuz they are adventure films. In the case of temple of doom there's all this weird stuff about voodoo, slave labour, sacrifices, all this background stuff about the people and these stones and their magic etc etc. All that Raiders is: Nazis want Ark which can unleash great power. We don't need to have all this random stuff explained to us, just that the ark is powerful, its mysterious and simple. Temple of Doom is overly complicated and spends most of the film just in one place. There is very little action except in the final 20-30 minutes where all of its condensed in one big overlong set piece. Raiders spaces out the action and actually provides adventure for the main character to go on.
The one thing I hate about Temple of Doom is there's a callback to Raiders where someone comes at Indy with a sword and he casually reaches for his gun - but he doesn't have his gun! Oh no! - which only works as a gag for the audience, because Temple is chronologically earlier. So by Raiders, he had learned to... always have his gun on him, I guess...? He doesn't check with his eyes at any point. Maybe he can tell by the weight.
@@AnnDVine who is the gag supposed to be for if not the audience? What the fuck.
I strongly dislike temple of doom. Huge missfire with annoying characters, cringe cultural elements, and an unpleasant tone throughout. Honestly it's only better than crystal skull because of the awesome opening scene.
Ewan McGregor’s reaction to the AOTC title will never NOT be delightful.
Anakin and Padmè's romance in this film is the worst cinematic romance I have ever seen.
Anakin: "I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead. Every single on of them. And not just the men. But the women... and the children too. They're like animals so I slaughtered them like animals! I HATE THEM!"
Padmè: "Yeah, whatever, wanna go save Obi-Wan and get married later?"
29:03 "Maybe they only live for a couple of days" might be my favorite joke from any of your videos ever.
You know what's funny about Shmi's death and the effects it has on Anakin?
There's literally no reason for him to believe that she was still a slave for all that time. He never blames himself for not freeing her, not on screen at any rate. He never blames the Jedi for not freeing her, or not letting him go and free her. He blames the Tuskens for killing her, and himself for not being able to save her.
I can't think of any good reason, considering all that, why Anakin couldn't know that his mother was freed by Lars. We can make the Jedi look well-meaning but ineffectual by having them send somebody to pick up Shmi, only to find that she's already been freed, then shrug and go "Ah well, no point in hanging around here now" and report back. If Anakin mentions his nightmares to Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan just tells him: "Your mother is safe, don't worry about it, remember to let go of attachment" then what really changes in Anakin's motivation? He can still make the choice to abandon his protection duties and jet off to Tatooine; he didn't go there to free Shmi, but because he was having prophetic nightmares about her. It's not like he was likely to go and visit her as a free woman, when he never managed to get time to visit her when he thought she was a slave, promise to free her be damned.
Admittedly this part is a big vague in the film but thankfully gets covered in the Episode II novelisation ,
but from what we can assume from the film is that Anakin didn't feel a need to free his mother as she worked for Watto doing basic domestic labor, and was later freed.
We can also assume that he could feel she was happy or content, because he felt her pain later on which made him go find her.
I'm sure he would've wanted to go back home but he was far too busy training to become a Jedi.
It's almost like the film is trying to teach us about sacrifice , idk 🤷♂️
I don't think freeing slaves was the job the Jedi. It is clear in the first episode that not even Padme could free her, even though she had political power. Qui-gonn and Obi Wan see all the slaves in Tatooine but do nothing about it because in a way they exist to uphold the current political order. They are not just "guardians of the galaxy" in a trite sense where any wrondoing is punished by them. They are still an arm of the Republic and tatooine is run by mafia-like people that are very difficult to uproot, just like on planet Earth. In a way, part of the Jedi training was letting go of attachment regardless of whether the people you are attached to during childhood are safe or not. I mean, letting go of attachment is not only "I let go when I know they are safe" but also the opposite, "I let go even though I know they are in pain", which can instil fear and anger into a Jedi etc etc...
This is the funniest TH-cam series of all time. You guys make me laugh so much I just wanna say thank you. Looking forward to this one.
What, we’re some kinda…Attack of the Clones?
I believe spice can be mined and made into medicine legally. Well obviously it can't because it's not real but whatever
AH! Thank you!
I think people don't give enough credit to some of the creativity in this film, especially on Geonosis with the battle at the end. You've got a desert world that feels different to Tatooine, flying bug people, each of the arena monsters feel very unique. Even Kamino, it's not just a water world of fish people that you see in countless sci fi stories, the people have long necks and the buildings are on stilts, with a harsh white interior. The ST had some cool ideas like the salt planet Crait and the junk planet Jakku, but a lot of the worlds just felt bland.
The Obi-wan plot is good. It's really the Anakin/Padme Romance that really drags the movie down to most people. But when I first saw this as a kid, I was at that age where it seemed like *all* movies had a "boring talking bit" before you got to the good stuff.
That's a good point you made about Geonosis that I hadn't noticed, it's a dessert planet but not like any we've seen, but then the sequels just give us two more dessert planets that look identical to Tattooine
@@more-reasons6655 Well, I at least give Crait and Jakku credit for putting somewhat of a spin on it. (The red sand and salt for Crait, the crashed ships for Jakku). But yeah, they look so similar lots of people thought Jakku *was* Tatooine when the trailers first came out.
Christopher Lee is forever cemented as a villain and actor for the ages after his role as Dooku and Saurumon
The sound of the Geonosian cannons firing will forever live in my head rent free
I like how Yoda drops his cane and starts flipping. Wonka style
Padme: eh, he's just going through a rough time.
Anakin: Anyway, the amount of murdering I did...
i love the idea that anakin (being way more powerful than he realises) is accidentally making padme fall in love with him because she actively does not like him, and the more she is in proximity to him the more she falls for that absolute psycho manbaby
People are quick to throw out this explanation, when the most we ever see Jedi do with mind altering is trick "weak minded" into repeating everything they say in a monotone. That kind of subtle personality influence just isn't shown anywhere else. I'm don't know why people are so eager to use "Anakin is an unintentional date rapist" as an excuse when "it's bad relationship writing, just ignore that part" is a much less gross excuse.
Or we go with what Padme says in the film, that she does like Anakin but she is a lot more level headed to realise that people in their position and walks of life cant be together. She brought up whether or not Anakin was allowed to love, she brought up the story about a boy she liked to make him jealous and it's most likely the first time she's been without a pack of security since her time on Tattoine with Anakin so got to feel like a regular person rather than a queen/senator

In the fight with Dooku, why does Yoda struggle with the giant rock instead of just pulling Obi wan and anakin out of the way with the force? And yes Yoda should never have used a light saber he should be so powerful he doesn't need it, nevermind all that jumping and spinning daftness.
If you want Yoda to use a lightsaber have him wield like 12 tiny ones with his mind and Yoda just stands there motionless while they spin and twirl around him in perfect unison
@@mitchellhorton9382 this is unironically the best idea for Yoda I've ever heard
Sith shouldn’t have used lightsabers either. The emperor calls it a “Jedi weapon” as if sith are above that. My assumption was that Vader only used one because he was an ex Jedi. But now they all do and they’re red cos they’re the bad guys. So fucking lame.
@@Bloodynine606 fuck, that's such a good point. now i'm even more mad at star wars post 1983 than i already was
@@Bloodynine606 I always thought the Sith should have more powerful and varied force powers than the Jedi, but they are just better at lightsaber fighting + have lightning. Also the fight in Palpatine's office is the worst example of this, where the guy who calls it a jedi weapon apparently has a custom one himself. The fight should have been Palpatine killing the Jedi without a saber, and then being forced to use one to fight Windu.

you know, now that you bring it up, that lightsaber really wasn't with the skywalkers long. Anakin had it for like 3 years, the obi wan kept it in a box for 20, Luke used it for maybe a year, then it sat in someone else's box for another 20.
Regarding the Anakin legacy lightsaber, that's such a good point that the sequels get so wrong. Why is Anakin's lightsaber s important? Luke barely uses it and it disappears on his hand. Then, in The Rise Of Skywalker, when touching the dagger, Rey mentions it's seen terrible things, despite literally always using the Child-killer 5000!
What?
Rey literally has a huge trippy nightmare that makes her run away and says "I’m never touching that again" when she picked it up. And that was BEFORE she had harnessed and understood her connection to the force.

I’ve always found Anakin cutting fruit with the force super satisfying. That is all.
I would do that if I had the Force, since I recently cut my thumb slicing fruit and had to get stitches.
Man I was already in my mid-teens and halfway through high school when this came out, saw it back-to-back with the first Spider-Man alongside my mom, kid bro and a couple of other students from a homeschooled collective (we were all being homeschooled in high school at that point, with a number of dual-enrollment courses included before college). And this was also the age when I was REALLY getting interested in movies and one year before I took a summer filmmaking course at NC-School of the Arts in Winston-Salem (with the filmmaking department being recently added to the others then, now it's part of the official UNC system.) Just over two decades ago, boy has time really flown by!

People voted for trump & kari lake. Lots of dummies floating around out there

Lol c'mon
Your interpretations of the scenes make them so much better, I wish the film actually had character moments like the ones you talk about
As a kid, Yoda's lightsaber battle with Dooku was the coolest thing ever.
In retrospect I thought it really nailed the whole "Incel to fash" pipeline they had going on with Anakin.That impressionable naive binary moded stunted emotionality victimized outrage proto hitler youth thing, I felt made sense and was the right approach.
I think that's emotionally accurate
As for the yoda fight I just thought it was a bad call having him fight like that, I remember kinda liking it for what it was , it was just on the edge of cringe at the time.
I thought he would be more reliant on the force like maybe have multiple lightsabers hovering about or maybe he should've been more like Luke in TLJ where it's high passive subterfuge and misdirection.
That bit about Obi-Wan flashing back and being like “this fuckin kid…I fought a giant crab monster” is so hilarious to me.
Yoda feels like a character they massively wasted the potential of in the prequels. When I was a kid watching Empire Strikes Back i always imagined Yoda being this being who used to be a powerful jedi, but has grown so old that that was part of his real distant past. The idea of him having a focus on force power in his old age during this era would have been *really* cool and would have given his scenes a real presence, it would make them really stand out. Instead he's just... a regular, slightly quicker, way goofier looking jedi like any other. I don't mind it, but t's real silly and could have been so much more.
To put my view into context, I think every film post-Empire is flawed in its own way, but the fun outweighs the flaws and I love every one of them for what they are anyway.
I was living in Philadelphia and a co-worker of mine helped out at a rehab center. He had a box with Taco Bell and Phantom Menace logos on it.
I got him to open it up and it was filled with bunch of unsold Jar Jar Binks cups from 1999. If you’re looking to complete your collection there’s a half way house in north Philly with a ton of those things.
This my favourite Star Wars film. So much nostalgia.

Hey! Lightsabers don't kill Younglings...
....angsty, post-teenage Jedi orphans do. 😁
I would argue that if yoda had to have lightsaber combat skills, it would all be defensive and even have an edge of mischief where in he uses the flow or his opponents attacks to make them run into their own mistakes as they begin to lose focus of their emotions growing frustrated with the way a true master of the force fights. A true Jedi. Like imagine he strifes jukes and guards with his lightsaber and only ever guards and he does it almost like a rhythmic dance moving in Harmony with the flow of the force. Imagine neat lore shit like that which would not only strengthen a character arc but also make more sense cohesively with the over all themes of the story
I never understood why in that dialogue scene with Dooku the captured Obi-Wan was so resistant, like "I'll never join you." 1) Why not? Maybe hear him out? He doesn't sound completely unreasonable, and 2) Maybe *pretend* like you're going along with it, and then escape? Or kill him? I don't know. These movies are bad. I love them.
Cause Jedi would never want to fall to the dark side???
@@arkanamaster4961 ONLY THE SITH DEAL IN ABSOLUTES

Honestly, I’ve always felt that the true sin of the sequel trilogy is not producing pieces of music on par with the prequels. Duel of the Fates, Anakin and Padme’s Love Theme, the theme of Revenge. All great and really, only Rey’s Theme can hold a candle to any of this
If only because its the only one that doesnt feel derived.
I did enjoy the fight with Jango, the colosseum scene and the fight with Dooku but most of it was enjoyable as a kid. Not so much now. It wasn't as good as I remember
We are clear that the best one can say about any of the prequels is that there are redeeming features, yes? There’s no sane universe where one can call these films “good” in any measurable way.
You must be new around here.
Get ready to have your entire understanding of cinema and storytelling questioned once the Prequel crowd find this comment. XD
@wespozo lol no
i disagree, ROTS is legit good and TPM is decent imo
A look at the Dooku episodes of 'Tales of the Jedi' wouldn't go amiss.
A lot of depth to his character and visualisation to what we had been told before.
Christopher Lee staring at anywhere is fucking hilarious. These guys never miss with the jokes
Perfect point about Dooku. If they actually stuck to that you couldve had more jedi switch to the dark side than just die and vanish. Then the sequels could've been Luke training Rei and the others to help with the re-emergence of the sith. Instead of a repeat of the originals
Eh. Having a bunch of other Jedi turn to the Dark Side makes Anakin less unique. Plus it goes against the whole "Rule of Two" thing. (Yeah I know EU stuff added the Inquisitors as other dark Jedi who technically weren't breaking that rule, but the whole PT emphasizes that there are only two Sith they're looking for). And for the ST, saying "oh yeah, there were a bunch of Order 66 survivors just waiting to come out of hiding" would have been seen as an ass pull just like "somehow Palpatine returned".

Dooku's lightsaber is the best. The curved hilt actually has a tactical advantage in swordfighting
Personally, I love this film's love story within the context that Anakin is powerful enough with the force that he is unconsciously (or consciously?) bending Padme's will. That is why despite his terrible advances and murder admissions she is still falling further in love. It puts a pretty sinister spin on the whole movie. Almost makes up for that terrible lightsaber duel.
That would explain why the Jedi have to live like monks.

I wish I could wish away this movie
33:45 I still remember everyone in the theater cheering like crazy for Yoda pulling his gat out.
The best parts of this movie are when
(1) Yoda just held out his hand with a nonplussed look on his face and made his v sheer jump right into it; and 😎
(2) how Yoda only kicked ass when no one was watching, and then when witnesses show up, he grabs his cane and starts limping around again...🤣
Jango's head falling out of the helmet will now be included in ever fan reedit of AOTC forever. And I thank you for this.

"Nah, Let's not bother."

Dude. Darth Jar Jar is real. It makes sense from a storytelling standpoint as an echo of Yoda. Remember how Yoda was introduced? The comic figure in the swamp. Ok, that part only lasted about five minutes, but having Jar Jar introduced as a comic figure then be revealed as the Sith leader would have made sense.
The part that always tied my brain into a knot about the love story in this movie is when Anakin is talking blatantly about over throwing the Senate to a dictatorship during their date in the grass. And they just kind of laugh it off and pretend like he didn't just say that and it's always weird because padme had heard that and even responded to it but didn't dive deeper into that. Especially he follows it up later in the movie with the tantrum about killing the women and children. It baffles me that the relationship even got off the ground to begin with. The relationship and romance is the worst part of this movie. I remember when I saw this when I was 8 and I didn't like it then. Today I still don't really care for this movie either. It's my least favorite Star Wars movie.
All the behind the scenes info I learn about the prequels is “it was going to be revealed that [insert character] was behind [insert important plot event] in the next movie” and then none of these ideas were followed through on. I mean I can’t imagine that they would have made the prequels “good” films but these ideas sure sound more interesting than what we got. Just one more reason why these huge franchise series should really be planned out extensively ahead of time. The Jazz-FrenchNewWave-esque improvisational filmmaking really just doesn’t work when the poetics is the most important aspect of a saga.
30:15 as I understand it, the idea of having three villains in the prequels is to show the three facets of Darth Vader.
Darth Maul: The sith assassin.
Count Dooku: The fallen Jedi.
Grievous: The cyborg.
Put them all together and you get the ultimate sith apprentice. Darth Vader.
Here's a thing I noticed: the very last shot of the movie, when you see the troopers marching up the Star Destroyer ramp, for a brief moment the music turns into the Game of Thrones theme! GoT came much later obviously, so might just be a coincidence but it's very clearly the same music
The Prequel Trilogy is a fucking masterclass of cinema and story telling when compared to the Disney Trilogy
force awakens is at worst an acceptable movie but definitely way better than 1 and 2
I’ve always had the feeling that the lightsaber was a technology that replaces a past force power. Like it used to be a controlled force lightning or focused plasma that was used by high powered force users as a sword weapon and eventually got updated with different tech so it didn’t require as much power to use. Maybe the crystal was used with force lightning to create a plasma and then focused with telekinesis. Over time a power plant was incorporated into a handle and then eventually other electronics were used to control the plasma. It was just something about the way it was revered in the first movie that made it seem like a more dangerous weapon that couldn’t be used by non force users, but the incarnation that we know is just too easy for anyone to pickup and wield. Cause if it’s just the deadly aspect of it that requires focus and foresight to use, that can be said of any weapon. Idk, maybe it’s just a class thing and a lightsaber just meant anyone seeing you using one knew it meant you were highly trained and it would be kill or be killed. So to pick one up if not trained properly was just a death sentence from force users.
The funniest thing to me about this movie is that when the gunship drops off obi wan and anakin to fight dooku and then get blown up, a clone jumps off and tries to join them nuts get shot off the platform. Thinking about an alternate universe where the single generic clone joins them for the fight against dooku.
