I hope u had tissues ready.
Not exactly a deep character, but my favorite star wars character is palpatine. Hes just the epitome of someone rotten to the core, he is filled with every kind of bad quality, just unfairly powerful and clever for the entire galaxys sake and without any redeeming features.
@@borbafet9206 UGh he is a manipulative bastard! No one suspects him to be evil until it's too damn late
Favorite from the prequels is definitely Anakin
My favorite characters from the Prequels are the three main leads. Anakin was my Luke Skywalker as I said in a previous post. I am still a Anakin apologist to this day. He is the most well rounded character I have ever seen. Padmé was a great strong female character, she was feminine, and beautiful, but she could fight and kill if she wanted and needed to. Which is the way I like strong female characters in stories. We definitely need more of them like her. And Obi Wan was awesome! He was a good friend and brother figure. Very loyal, and generous. I am a fan of all the original six films. And will always love them. Plan to show them to my kids one day.
Mace's true downfall was never letting Anakin feel trusted. Palpatine knew this, and made sure to isolate Anakin from leaving for battle, and to keep those who trust him off-world.
Palpatine knew too well how to manipulate Anakin. Damn mastermind
@@VerowakReacts Probably helped that Palpatine was Anakin’s father figure
I think the worst part was, when Mace was supposed to be an enforcer of the Jedi Way, he decided to break it just to kill Palpatine. If I were in Anakin's situation there, it would prove that the jedi were hypocrites for holding me to a standard - punishing me harshly for not following it - and then going ahead and breaking it themselves.
Why would they trust Anikan. Anikan had been lying and deceiving everyone for years. He was disrespectful to his master and routinely ignored and/or broke the Jedi code. The only error the council made was allowing Anikan to be trained in the first place. They all could sense the danger in his training. The only Jedi that carries blame for Anikan's downfall is Qui-Gon. He took Anikan from his mother. He allowed Anikan to fall for Padme. He guilted Obi-Wan into training Anikan knowing that Obi-Wan was against it in the first place. It was Qui-Gon that filled Anikan's head with all the chosen one crap that planted the seeds for Anikan's arrogance and sense of entitlement. Qui-Gon openly defied the council/code in front of Anikan leading Anikan to do the same. Mace didn't do ANYTHING to make Anikan turn. When he tells Anikan not to come with when they went to arrest Sidious he was right. He sensed the conflict in Anikan and was 1000000000000% correct. Anikan didn't want to help arrest Sidious but rather insure his survival. If Anikan simply, for once, did as instructed and waited, Sidious would have been killed and it would have been over. No Darth Vader. Padme lives. It kills me that people want to blame any and everyone for Anikan's actions but Anikan himself. The code had worked for over a thousand years but they were supposed to change everything to not hurt poor little Anikan's feelings? Really? How about Anikan does as he is supposed to and all is well. The code forbids attachment. The EXACT thing that leads to Anikan's downfall.
@Spice Kai the Jedi DIDN'T ALWAYS deny Anikan. He went on plenty of missions. He just acted like a spoiled baby when he didn't get the missions he wanted. How many other Knights were sent to destroy grevious or arrest Sidious? None. He wasn't a master nor was he ready to be. He was arrogant and felt entitled. Not to mention he was deceiving and lying to the Jedi for years
"Goodbye, old friend. May the Force be with you."
That's the last thing Obi-wan says to Anakin before he becomes Vader.
I feel like that part will hit harder next time I watch this movie
@@VerowakReacts yeah it will..
@@VerowakReacts also, notice how when anakin says goodbye to obi-wan, he's obscured in shadow while obi-wan is illuminated in the light, symbolizing their fates.
and i just realized something just this minute as i'm writing this. obi-wan is light up by the evening sun as it's going down in the afternoon. he's going off to the twilight of the jedi and the republic before it falls to darkness. and when he and vader meet on mustafar, its dark and fiery. as in the galaxy has burned and is now left to darkness.
the PT have so much to dig into if people just take the effort to look.
One thing I love about the Prequels that we can talk about now that you've seen them all, is how all 3 of the prequel specific villains represent the major aspects of Vader. Maul represents his anger and aggression, Dooku represents that he was a former Jedi, and Grevious represents his transformation into a Machine.
I never noticed that, but that's so neat! Thank you!!
Dooku also represents his intelligence and regal attitude
And Palpatine?
@@brucewayne1894 Palpatine was still just Palpatine, the manipulator behind it all. It was the prequel specific villains that all shared aspects of Vader.
@@brucewayne1894 Palpatine is just local Thanos of SW. Started with good goals and hope for greater good, made sacrifices when met obstacles, and eventualy lost all good he started with and left only with sith lust of power. In very beginnng Palpatine was dreaming of great state of justice and prosperity. He even actually built it - most of people were liked Empire.
I love how the phrase, “Only a Sith deals in absolutes.” is also an absolute.
Seems everyone is a sith then 😂
It plays into what Sidious told Anakin, about how the Jedi and the Sith weren't so different. He also said, "he was to dangerous to be left alive" to Anakin about killing Dooku. Later on Windu says the same thing to Anakin about Sidious.
But, it is the type of absolute expressed that is important. That said, some pieces of writing are better off unwritten.
insert meme *the 2 spidermen pointing at eachother* 😂 .. you know the one lol
"Do or do not, there is no try"
Seems like Yoda was a sith lord too with such an absolute statement.
The Jedi kid that defended senator Organa is my favorite in this. With all the hell around him, you could tell he was in the zone, trusting in the Force, doing what was necessary despite being a Padawan.
That Jedi was awesome! Comes out of nowhere kicks ass, takes names. I really liked that scene
@@VerowakReacts can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of the SW content. I really hope you enjoy it.
He's also George Lucas's son.
Anakin has always been my favorite character from the prequels. I loved Haydens performance in Revenge of the Sith especially, he really killed it. Ani's feelings of self-doubt and feeling like no one sees the potential in him are feelings I totally connected to when I watched the prequel trilogy as a kid. Tbh, I always felt Anakin was more relatable as a character than Luke was, and his story is one of the most beautifully written downfalls/redemption arcs I've ever seen in cinema.
Anakin is such a great character, he's my second favorite character of the prequels. I'm with you, Hayden's performance in this one is just fantastic, he did so well
@@VerowakReacts who’s your favourite? 😳
Except there was no redemption. All he did was save his own son. That in no way redeems for complicity in the deaths of billions. And unless you count the child in episode one, Anakin was never a likeable person.
@@MrCzerillo Everyone has their own opinions and what they find likeable or unlikeable about people
@@MrCzerillo He didn’t kill billions, that’s a little exaggerated. It was Tarkin who ordered the Death Star to destroy Alderaan not Annakin/Vader.
To explain Anakin's scars: he became a heroic figure in the public during the three years the war lasted, not only due to his winning streak, but also due to putting himself on the front line ahead of his troops, ensuring an extreme lack of trooper deaths.
He also quickly began reinforcing his cybernetic arm, along with wearing a glove over it, to keep it off his mind, and to avoid scaring civilians.
Wrong. Ventress gave him those scars while fighting 1v1 on coruscant
@@anakinvader9120 Not canon.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 that is canon, the clone wars are canon, and its referenced there
@@joshpauley289 That comic is set in the 2003 series, and a few months before ROTS, so no.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 no, it’s in the canon animated series
Due to the babies being force-sensitive, Padme could sometimes feel things as an extension.
Right before Obi-Wan decided to dramatically show himself, Padme could feel the light in Anakin returning, only for it blur away into the darkness when thinking he had been set up.
It's also why Padme suddenly broke down during the Jedi Temple attack, the babies could feel Anakin in pain while he was killing everyone.
Light returning to Anakin is a load of BS but Jedi Temple part actually makes some sense.
Maybe padme was strong with the force in her own right? Maybe not to jedi levels, but more than average?
"Anakin's going to kill them all, isn't he? And not just the men. But the women. And the children"
You absolutely broke me with this line. I had to pause for a full minute so I could regain control.
That damn Anakin! Slaughtering everyone 😭
@@VerowakReacts I saw this in the theater. In the scene where Anakin is about to slaughter the padmes' (childen) the whole audience let out a gasp.
@@ocfernan I can just imagine!
@@VerowakReacts In his mind it was a mercy kill since the children weren’t given a choice to become Jedi, they were taken from their families when they were babies. Also, the life of a Jedi can be dangerous, and hard.
@@jmwilliamsart So many were left behind, so that the Jedi could play god
His fall to the Dark Side is utterly devastating to him, everyone he loved and the entire galaxy. The Star Wars episodes 1 - 6 are the story of Anakin and that’s who Return of the Jedi is referring to, not Luke. I’m an OG-era fan but this episode is in my top 3 of all episodes. I love it. Loved your reaction. Thank you!
The managed to read the novel from '05 a few weeks before the movie hit the theaters man,
There is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon, there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker. That it was all you. Is you. Only you. You did it. You killed her.
Between the Jedi not trusting or fully accepting him, and Palpatine manipulating him for years, Anakin was pushed towards the dark side. In the comics it shows that Anakin did feel remorse for killing the Jedi younglings. He didn’t think that there was anyway back for him, and that he didn’t deserve love or forgiveness. Neither Padme nor Luke gave up on Anakin, and she was right about there being good in him.
This is the best one by far. Return of the Jedi being #2
@@jmwilliamsart Don't absolve Anakin's role in his fall and push it on the Jedi.
I think the OG trilogy is better overall but I honestly think Revenge Of The Sith is the only true masterpiece star wars movie. Revenge Of The Sith is the only movie that feels on the same level as the animated shows imo.
Mr. Ian McDiarmid also played The Emperor in Episode VI. I love how they brought him back for these movies.
He thought he was too old to do it but Lucas reassured him and he took the part.
@@scottb3034 I think you mean too young. McDiarmid is younger than Harrison Ford (Han Solo) and he was playing a very old man in 1983
@@SJHFoto No I meant old because I am not referring to 1983, I am referring to when Lucas cast him in Episode I 16 years later.. McDiarmid thought the Emperor was supposed to be young like Obi-Wan in Episode I, not a 40-50 something year old like he was.
@@scottb3034 Oh
I remember seeing this in 05 and I was left speechless, emotionless, frustrated when I left the theatre! Absolute 10/10 movie for me! George nailed the hell out of this movie. Such a dark, sad and epic movie.
The movie is perfect for me. Dark, sad, epic movie!
All the threads came together. I love this movie. The Obi-Wan speech, while Anakin is defeated, is heart-breaking, but one of my favorite speeches of all time. So powerful. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
This movie to me is basically perfect. All the aspects are well done and captivating. Damn Anakin and Obi-Wan at the end, the performances were just heartwrenching
Obi-Wan: "Anakin killed children."
Padmé: "Not Anakin. He wouldn't."
Me: "You mean he wouldn't do it *again.* "
Yeah she seems to have forgotten all about what happened on Tatooine
This is the only Star Wars film that made me emotional. Watching Anakin's descent, Order 66, then the duel with Obi-Wan - nothing for my heart to do but break. Loving your reactions and reviews!
Just heartbreak after heartbreak dammit!! It was so great to watch, the actors did fantastic
A theory that I personally think makes sense is that Palpatine actually killed Padme through the force and used her life force to save Anakin. We heard him talking about being able to save the ones you cared about from dying using the force, and if you listen closely while Anakin is getting the suit, at the beginning you can hear his heart beating quickly, then it stops for several seconds, and then when the mask is put on him his heartbeat resumes, which could support that he was actually clinically dead and was revived.
I like that theory (I find it interesting), the mirroring scenes.
Interesting theory that I haven‘t heard before. Certainly not unreasonable, given how evil Palpatine is.
makes sense especially since ep 9 makes force drain canon
Something that came way later after the movies. These days folks got a theory for everything. Wonder if there's theories to why anakin didnt just agree with obi wan to get onto land instead of jumping right towards him.
@@LifeisANovel These people always go quiet when one mentions Carrie Fisher's mom died the same way Padme did.
Being in the theater upon release, I felt the same way as you. The feeling of sadness when Anakin finally submits to Palpatine as his new master. The tears shed when Anakin shouts "I hate you!" to Obi-Wan. Indeed this is an emotional film. The best of the Prequels.
It's all just so emotional and heartbreaking! For both Anakin and Obi-Wan 😭
The sad part is that Anakin realize that Palpatine was right all along, they were going to kill him, and maybe the only possiblity to save her where gone forever. Or save the old man who was with you support you and so on
"Let go of everything you fear to lose" is simple for Yoda because if you think about it, he lived 900 years. During his lifetime he probably lost hundreds of people he cared about simply because he outlived them. But of course it's not that simple for the average person.
Exactly it! Yoda it's been centuries since Yoda first trained I assume, so it's easier said than done
@@VerowakReacts Yoda knows that, it's why he initially refused to have Anakin trained back in episode 1, saying he was too old. You're supposed to start your jedi training while you're still too young to have attached yourself to anyone.
If Palpatine indeed remote-impregnated Shmi Skywalker to cause Anakin's birth, he deliberately chose someone living on a remote planet outside of republic control to ensure Anakin wouldn't be discovered by the jedis before he was too old to be trained to not have attachments. Everything proceeded as he had foreseen.
@@Pikachu132 Palpatine was lying about creating life/stopping death. That's what he does. Lies.
Thas why WISE Master Yoda wasnt that WISE in many situations
I disagree. Most of the Jedi are of species that are shorter lived (many human Jedi). The Jedi were correct that Anakin was too old, and also a wild card. But also, after watching the prequels, Palpatine is an idiot by Return of the Jedi. If there is anything that lights Anakin's fuse, it is the death of someone he loves (his mother, his wife). Palpatine himself played on this, so how does he think he can torture and kill his son in front of him? MADNESS!
Also the move Vader tries on Obi is actually the same one Obi used to chop Darth Maul in half. But in his arrogance he didn't think of the fact that while Obi knew how to perform it he also knew how to defend against it.
Episode 3 is easily my favorite star wars episode ever, this one is full of goofy lines and the ending never fails to bring out tears.
I love Obi-Wan and Anakin's interactions in this movie! The actors were great
One of the best reasons to watch Episode III before Episode VI is how much it improves the birth scene by turning it into the sister reveal. Instead of just going through the motions ("Yes, we already know she's giving birth to Luke and Leia") a viewer who hasn't seen Return of the Jedi is as surprised as Obi-Wan that Padme is carrying twins. And when Padme names the second child "Leia" it's such a great reveal! (Much better than Luke just guessing it.)
When you watch Return of the Jedi again, it will be an improved experience. For example, when Luke says, "I've accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father," and Vader replies, "That name no longer has any meaning for me," dialogue like that will hit differently.
Or when Yoda warns Luke, "Do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will." After witnessing Anakin's fall in the prequels, Luke's potential fall to the Darkside in Return of the Jedi actually becomes credible. Especially after he shows up super cocky, dressed in all-black with a robotic hand, and Force-chokes Jabba's guards!
Watching Episode VI after Episode III also makes Vader's Emperor toss much more gratifying. In release order, seeing cinema's most iconic villain throw away everything to save the life of a son he barely knows is quite the whiplash-inducing about-face. After Revenge of the Sith, that toss is an extremely satisfying moment of Anakin throwing off his chains and freeing himself from years of manipulation.
This finally highlights the real reason that Obi-Wan and Yoda were hiding the truth from Luke. They knew that his basic instinct would be to try to save him. And they had witnessed an entire galaxy go down the drain because of everyone's noble but failed attempts to save Anakin. They didn't want their last hope to be just another in a long line of people trying to save someone that just seems determined not to be saved.
In the end, everything worked out so no harm done right? 😬
And that's also why Luke succeeded, he grew up not being berated for having attachments to others. He knew how to handle it without mass destruction.
I think you'll enjoy Rogue One. Many people do. There will be some familiar faces in the scenes, but this is a stand alone movie with a fresh cast of actors. It's their story.
I love Rogue One. Easter eggs in it from the prequels and the original trilogy, even a cartoon show (Star Wars Rebels) - it really ties the two trilogies together.
Broken-heart syndrome is a rare but real condition that causes heart failure. Most commonly seen when an old person dies shortly after their spouse, but not impossible in other heartbreaking conditions. When it feels like your heart is breaking, it literally is being affected by your emotional state. Normally not dangerous though, so don't panic just because you feel heartbroken.
I always thought that was a made up tale for heartbreak. Interesting
@@VerowakReacts I know right ? I was confused at first but then I looked it up and yes you can actually die from a heartbreak !
The more you know .
I always kind of interpreted Padme's death as a combination of this, childbirth, and *being Force-choked by her husband literally right before childbirth.* Strangulation right before something as physically strenuous as childbirth is really not a good combination.
Broken-heart syndrom is not only easy to diagnose (all that is needed is an ecg coupled with an x-ray of the coronary arteries and a recent history of high levels of stress) but also to treat. No person suffering from this would ever be declared: "Medically, completely healthy."
Fun fact dooku’s lightsaber has a curved hilt because Christopher Lee was a proficient fencer and it was easier for them to allow him to use a fencing style rather than teach a man in his 80s how to fight with a lightsaber
Thank you for that fact! That's really great how they made the hilt like that for him
My favorite line in the movie is when Palpatine tells Anakin to leave Obi to die and Anakin says "His fate will be the same as ours". He couldn't be more right. They all three die on a Death Star and all three are technically killed by Anakin/Vader.
That's so neat, not something I thought of
Here's and interesting fact. That creature Obi-wan was riding, is the only reason he's alive. It wasn't screaming on the way down because it was scared of falling. It was screaming because the moment the blast hit, it keeled back, taking ALL the shrapnel to protect Obi-wan... it was screaming because it was in pain.
That poor creature. It deserves so much better :(. I didn't notice it took all the shrapnel
@@VerowakReacts You won't. That was described in the novel
I always took Padme's death as the emperor taking her force and giving it to Anakin so he could survive. There is so much about Palpatine we don't know.
That's not a bad theory. I like it!
I wish they would have showed that better. It would have made much more sense to the audience.
There a reasons Padme's Death:
1) She got a weak nerves after Anakin told her that she will die on childbirth, after she heared that her husband turned to the dark side that broke her heart
(pregnant woman shall not be worried to much, cause if she have a weak nerves, then she might die or her child will die)
2) While like george lucas said that she had more than 45k midichlorians it was twin babies inside her, both had a 23k midichlorians. Babies's midichlorians needs their mother's blood
3) Sidious's force manipulation: taking her health energy to give her husband to save him (not a save him, but giving him more suffering due a failure on the mustafar)
I agree, this is my headcanon too, although I don't think it ever has been confirmed. But Palpatine is strongly hinting at having the capability of doing something like this.
@@staffan- When?
"His fate will be the same as ours"
All three then proceeded to die aboard a Death Star
I love this piece of info!
Truly the most underrated Star Wars film. It's even better when you consider that you 100% already know where the story ultimately leads too, but it's still tense and engaging.
Yes! The fact that we already know how things end up yet it still has me hoping that Anakin does the right thing is just amazing
mos def! the aura when Padme is reeling with what Anakin has become, was chilling!
I remember after I saw this in theaters back in 2005. I came out feeling like someone punched me in the stomach and knocked the wind out of me. I felt bad for all of the heroes, and still do. I came away from this hating Palpatine a lot more then I already did.
That sums it up very nicely. Everyone has such a tragic life in this movie.. except Palpatine, that bastard
@user-df6ug1eh5x: I hate Palpatine
Palpatine: good good
My absolute favorite of the prequel trilogy. And tied with "Empire Strikes Back" as my all-time favorite of all the "Star Wars" movies.
That whole ending scene between Obi-Wan and Anakin(Vader) on Mustafar beginning with the lightsaber fight and ending with Obi-Wan's "You were my brother Anakin. I loved you" was the ab best part of the movie. Along with the Yoda vs. Emperor Palpatine fight.
Like Luke, Padmè believed that there was good left in Anakin in the end.
Looking forward to seeing what's next for you Star Wars-wise. I do highly recommend the "Clone Wars" animated movie before or during your "Clone Wars" series watch.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
I found a good list to follow for Clone Wars, and I think the animated movie is after 1 or 2 episodes. That's what I'll be following :D
That sounds like a chronological list. Good choice, it will help with understanding. I went with release order because I didn’t know about the chronological problems and was able to follow with only a few confusing moments but chronological is definitely better.
@@VerowakReactsWait are you going to react to the whole show then? Is so that is music to my ears. :)
@@TK-Titanium My plan was release since... well that should make sense, right? But I've looked into it and noticed there was a different order, so I asked around to others who have seen it and they recommended the chronological list :D
@@melkor3496 That's the plan! All reactions will be on Patreon, I just haven't decided how to edit it for UA-cam eventually :D
As Obi-Wan told Yoda, he wouldn't kill Anakin. So what he does instead is called a "mou-kei", a devastating strike that completely disarms/dismembers a dangerous opponent. Obi-Wan is the only known user of such a move, and he demonstrates it perfectly in this movie.
He also did it to Darth Maul in Episode 1.
Damn, great reaction! Loved the tears when Obi Wan told Anakin that he was like a brother to him. When you return to this movie after watching The Clone Wars show it will hurt even more, you can be sure of that. 🥺
That's just what I need.. MORE heart break 😭😂 I can;t wait!
@@VerowakReacts If you do watch Clone Wars, there is a chronological order as well.
I really like your reactions.
I love the way you make "dad" jokes and quote other unrelated movies, like saying Qui-Gon has a very particular set of skills, for example.
I love the fact that the things I find awesome are also the things you find awesome, and the things I find to be lame or even dumb, you do too.
I love that you aren't shy about saying something was dumb, like the romance dialog or everything Jar Jar - I think many other reactors are actors who pretend to love everything even when they don't, which is a good strategy for popular movies because they don't want to alienate possible views or subs by picking on movies we love. You are more real with your reactions than most.
Keep it up.
I'm bingeing you and loving it.
I love movie quotes so I use them when I can lol! I'm glad you're enjoying the reactions, Star Ward has been just amazing!
Henceforth, You Shall Be Known as Darth Verowak! ... RIIIISE!
Thanks for the great reaction, enjoyed it. Looking forward to all the upcoming Star Wars content (and any other content too, of course) 👍
Darth Verowak... it has a nice ring to it!! I'm looking forward to all the rest of the Star Wars content which is a lot !!
39:20 There is a theory that Padme doesn´t died on a broken heart, but her CONNECTION to Anakin was so strong, that her lifeforce was drained from her and transfered to Anakin, and that is one of the reasons he did survive.
There were a couple of lines between Yoda and Obi-Wan that were said in the book that wasn't said in the movie. When Obi-Wan said that he would watch over Luke. Yoda asked "Like a father figure?" And Obi-Wan said "No. More like a crazy uncle".
Palpatine: "Commander Cody... *Execute order 69."*
Cody: *"...Nice, my Lord."*
I loved your reaction to Obi-Wan dropping down near General Grievous and saying "Hello there." Lol
It was just so ridiculous yet awesome! Obi-Wan is always just so fun
@@VerowakReacts I hope you don't mind all the comments I'm leaving on your videos. I realized a little while ago how many of your videos I've watched & I've left a comment or 2 on a lot of them
Obi-wan and Anakin’s relationship is better because now Anakin’s a full Jedi knight and they don’t have the weird power dynamic they had during Anakin’s training. It’s kind of like how you and your sibling bicker and fight a lot growing up, but when you hit your late teens and early adulthood, you realize “damn, I kinda like this dude.”
Oh for sure, I think their change in relationship from Episode 2 to Episode 3 is great!
I really enjoyed following these along with you! This is one of my favourite films ever, the most emotive of all the Star Wars films.
George Lucas summarised the Skywalker saga as simply a love story. Anakin's fall was entirely down to the loss of (or fear of losing) the two people he loved most; his mother and Padmé. Even Obi-Wan was not able to save him from that. And then the original trilogy is the story of how the love that Luke had for his father (and ultimately vice-versa) was able to save him from the dark grip of Palpatine.
The recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series made by Disney was essentially a sequel to Revenge of the Sith; the obsession that Vader had with getting revenge on Obi-Wan, and how deeply Obi-Wan was affected by the events in this movie (made worse when he learns Anakin survived their encounter and his failure is compounded). I'm sure you're aware that pretty much everything made by Disney has had a mixed reception from Star Wars fans, and the Obi-Wan series was no different, but if you enjoyed Ewan McGregor here you will also enjoy him there; he continued to be fantastic.
I won't weigh in on the 'best' order to watch things in, just hope you enjoy whatever comes next!
I feel like I'll be able to enjoy a lot of whatever Star Wars has to offer!
A love story makes perfect sense, Anakin and Luke/Anakin. I really just love the characters in Star Wars, they all have their good parts. I've definitely seen how the fanbase is divided in SO many ways, but mostly about anything that Disney has made. I feel like Obi-Wan could just be Ewan McGregor living alone on Tatooine and I would find it enjoyable :D
Minutes after "Hello There", you're already becoming a prequel memeologist, and multiple more times throughout the movie. 😂
The music in this movie along with what was going on during the scenes it was playing in, and the scenes in general, just destroy my emotions every time I watch this movie. You can just feel the pain Obi-Wan is going through when he talks to Anakin/Vader. 😭😭
This movie is so amazing!! I can't wait to rewatch it once I finish Clone Wars!!
The music is phenomenal all throughout
You are so very much intelligent, you almost 100% predicted and understood every twist and development. Compared to so many pretty female reactors that fail to understand what is going on let alone predict what will happen in this movie and other ones it was extremely nice to be surprised with your reactions. Sub well earned.
Because you were wondering about Padme's death. There is a real heart condition called "Broken Heart Syndrome" that can be triggered by sudden intense emotional stress, which weakens the heart muscle and in rare cases can even lead to death. So as strange as Padme's death seems, there is still a somewhat plausible explanation for it. :)
That's a perfect alternative subtitle to this movie; 'Star Wars Episode III: Stupid Anakin'
I happy you decided to include the Clone Wars animated series in your list of Star Wars shows you watch. It fills the space between episodes 2 and 3 with tons of context and develops Anakin and the clones as well as the Jedi who died in this one. I know you're only posting it on your Patreon but please post the final 4 episodes here. It is the ultimate culmination of years of content and it bleeds into the events of this movie.
This is the most emotional Star Wars ever made and it also has the most emotional light saber battle. To me Episode III is an absolute masterpiece.
"The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural." Gives me chills every time. Love that opera scene.
Hey, Veronique! Well, you got wise to Palpatine before the reveal but still had a great reaction! Lucas provided visual and vocal cues since "Phantom Menace" that Palpatine and Sidious were one and the same. Ian McDiarmid plays the Emperor in all the Star Wars films in which he appears. He's the one character having a total blast throughout the prequels because he's pulling everybody's strings! His seduction of Anakin is masterful.
The absolute best line of the Prequel trilogy goes to Natalie Portman: "So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause."
Wookiees live for hundreds of years! In "Revenge of the Sith", Chewbacca is 181 years old!
It is a popular belief that Padme's life force was drained out of her and channeled into Anakin by Palpatine which is why her death and his re-birth are juxtaposed by Lucas. Therefore, Palpy is directly responsible for the death of the person he convinced Anakin he could save prompting his betrayal of the Jedi in the first place! A very cruel manipulation.
One of the Jedi Order's problems is that they had become ossified by dogma and had lost touch with their true purpose. This made them vulnerable to manipulation by the Sith and blind to their own shortcomings. Iconoclasts like Qui-Gon sought esoteric knowledge beyond ordained teachings to plumb deeper truths and were viewed as troublesome for suggesting the Order had become complacent and stagnant. The knowledge Yoda imparts to Obi-Wan at the end is his discovery of the path to immortality. His spiritual journey is chronicled in the animated "Clone Wars" when he is instructed in the deepest mysteries of the Force. Jedi immortality manifests as the Force-ghosts you see in the Classic trilogy. This was an ability unknown to the Order until Qui-Gon contacts Yoda which is why there are no Force-ghosts in the Prequel trilogy.
The Jedi are all but exterminated by Order 66 much like how the Knights Templar were rounded up on a single day, Friday the 13th, in October 1307, by order of the French King Philip IV in a series of coordinated, simultaneous arrests. Emperor Palpatine initiated a smear campaign to vilify the Jedi and expunged any mention of them from the historical record. Philip IV did the same to the Templars demonizing them with false allegations of larceny, murder, sexual perversion, sedition and Satanism that led to their mass burning at the stake with the blessing of the Papacy! Palpy achieved control of a galaxy with his scheme while Philip was simply dodging the crushing debt he owed the Order!
The clones are tragic pawns in Palpatine's scheme. They were bred by the Republic and were loyal to their creators serving through thick and thin with their Jedi Generals. The animated "Clone Wars" does a magnificent job of individualizing the troopers. However, they were engineered with a fail-safe to force them to obey executive decisions without question. Initiating Order 66 flips the switch in their brains forcibly turning them against the Jedi whom they previously would have died for. It's a horrifying betrayal not least of which to the clones themselves.
Although the Separatist leadership was led by Count Dooku, they weren't privy to the collusion between Dooku and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Each Sith Lord led a faction in the Clone Wars to play both sides against each other creating chaos they could manipulate to their personal advantage! The populations of the worlds which aligned with one faction or the other truly believed in their respective causes which were socioeconomic and geopolitical. The layman had no idea he was just a pawn in Palpatine's grand scheme. With the Jedi exterminated, the greatest threat to his plan was taken off the board and he sent Vader to dispose of the Separatist leadership so he could consolidate power over the organizations they represented. The Separatist worlds relied on the support of those industries and institutions so those worlds would fall in line once those support systems were firmly in the Emperor's grip.
The japor snippet pendant Amidala was buried wearing was the same one Anakin carved for her in "Phantom Menace".
Senator Bail Organa orders C-3PO's mind to be wiped but R2-D2's CPU is left intact. Artoo REMEMBERS EVERYTHING!
Your next stop is to revisit the Vader-Kenobi duel in "A New Hope" right here on You Tube for an incredible update in SC-38 RE-IMAGINED by UA-camr FXitinPost!
Your decision to see the standalone films prior to the Sequel Trilogy is a good one. Chronologically, "Solo" comes first beginning 6 years after "Revenge of the Sith", then "Rogue One" occurs just before "A New Hope".
If you wish to see the live-action "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series set 10 years after "Revenge of the Sith", I highly recommend you do it after seeing the animated "Clone Wars", 'Tales of the Jedi", "Bad Batch" and "Rebels". The live-action show steals from the animated series and is a regrettable dumpster fire that wastes McGregor. It's better to start with the good stuff. Of the live-action shows, "Andor", set 5 years before "A New Hope", is easily the best!
ur reactions are the best its like watching with u :3
Thank you! Hearing that makes me happy
Star Wars lore specifies that Palpatine drained the last piece of life from padme in order to save Vader on the operating table who was dying
Great reaction! Episode 3 was released in 2005 during the early Iraq war. There's a lot of parallels in this movie to the sense many had about deomocracy after 9/11, the Patriot Act, and the Iraq invasion. I'd say you can see a bit of Karl Rove in Palpetine's portrayal.
The tragedy of Anakins fall is a perfect representation of someone building their own prison and trapping themselves in it... Its also a textbook example of the "sunk cost fallacy", Anakin makes one choice he knows is bad and when faced with another he feels he HAS to continue as he has already committed so much to his goal...
It's depressing... I'm depressed now...
(;_;)
Great reactions...by the way your smile is contagious...and your reacts are on point...you are really into Star Wars..and i love it...and the Rogue One was crazy good...thank you...Jean-Marc
I didn't think I would be this much into Star Wars, but I'm loving it!!
@@VerowakReacts it has been in my life since day one, will never leave...beautiful story, Amazing music, Amazing..enjoy
When I watch Anakin kinda pull himself up from the lava, I keep thinking of the meme where lil boy Anakin is sitting with Obi Wan as QuiGon is on the funeral pyre. In the meme Obi Wan turns to Anakin and says “This will be you… twice. “. LOL
Here's a little trivia (if nobody has mentioned it): the duel between Mace and Palpatine was actually performed by Sam Jackson and Ian McDiarmid. Even at their age, they were pretty adamant that they do the duel and not use stunt doubles. I always found that to be intriguing. Great reaction! It was definitely the most emotional episode of the entire franchise and, as an OG-era fan, it will always rank very close to Empire Strikes Back (my personal favorite) as the absolute best films of the series.
I do like it when the actors themselves do the fights, it just makes it that much more believable/better. I'm very curious to rewatch these movies after watching all the rest of the Star Wars content and see how I enjoy them differently :D
They definitely have an infinite re-watch factor (aside from one episode, which was highly disappointing for my tastes), but I'll leave that decision up to you as you'll probably know which one I'm talking about later on. And, I'm sure you'll get to them eventually, but definitely put the Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett and the Obi-Wan series on your list of must watch.
Ian McDiarmid must have had a blast playing Palpatine haha
Palpatine seems like such a great character to play! I bet he had fun in both the OT and the prequels
There is a behind the scenes video, where his make-up is applied, and in the end he grins in the mirror. He definitely had fun with this role.
I believe he was in his mid-30s, when he play the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. His portrayal as an frail old man that suddenly becomes ultra powerful was very good back then. It was lucky that he had the right age to resume this role in the prequels.
Yes, his acting can be over the top at times, but that‘s just how Palpatine is as soon as the reigns come off.
Great reaction! You are gonna love the Obi-Wan series, cant wait for you to watch it!
I'm so excited for it!
This isn't really important but I find it absolutely hilarious: At the part where Grevious escapes on that wheel vehicle ,you can see a droid and a clone having a boxing match in the background.
I'm going to have to go back and find that! That feels like just a fun random addition to the scene
@@VerowakReacts Hah ,there's actually a ton of Easter eggs in the movies if you know where to look ,they really had a blast with it.
@@lazerfluxxy7370 Now I want to look up the easter eggs and spot them on a rewatch :D
The opera scene is absolutely legendary..small subtle sounds in the background music definitely so much foreshadowing in the scene it’s fucking brilliant
Great video and glad to see you liked this one! Ep 3 is one of the only movies I made a point to see in theaters multiple times when it came out. Not sure how much time you have to read, but the ROTS novelization is definitely worth a read and helps answer some character motivation questions (like why Obi Wan leaves Anakin alive after removing his pesky arm and legs)
Some random trivia for you: While this was the first on-screen appearance of General Grievous, he first appeared in the 2003 Clone Wars animated series. This is not the same as the later 2008 The Clone Wars CGI series, but a traditionally animated series that was made in the style of Samurai Jack.
I would have also gone to see this in theatres multiple times! I just recently found out that there are movie novelizations, so they've been put on my to read list for sure!
I'm confused about when you were talking about Ian McDiarmid overacting. I think he played the manipulation scenes perfectly. If you're referring to the second half of the movie, killing Windu and onwards, it is deliberate. The evil mastermind, after decades of careful and patient planning, finally destroys the Jedi and takes over the galaxy. He's having the time of his life, without restraints.
Yep, and George Lucas directed him to act that way. He wanted it over the top. However, I do agree it was just too much. I still enjoy it though. Wish he would've done his voice a bit differently The frog croaking sound isn't good.
@@MeanMrMustard1Disagree with your statement but you can have your opinion
@@erikstrickland96 So you like the over the top frog croaking sound?
@@MeanMrMustard1 It’s creepy as shit and makes sense with palpatine fully embracing the dark side after so many years going back and forth so yeah it’s awesome lol
You’re right about Obi Wan being the wrong teacher for Anakin. The right teacher was Qui-Gon Jinn. Anakin’s fate was decided back in Episode I.
Obi-Wan tried his best. Qui-Gon would have been a great teacher for Anakin
One might think that Qui-Gon and Maul had a Duel of the… Fates? And the dark side won.
Definitely, Qui-Gon had that rebellious streak just like Anakin, Anakin and Qui-Gon would've been like a 80s buddy cop movie, Obi-Wan was too straight laced, and this why him and Anakin clashed.
@@VerowakReacts Anakin's fate being decided in episode 1 is actually why the Maul fight music is called "duel of the fates" , the duel is over Anakin's fate
That was a brilliant reaction, I'm impressed by how perceptive you are. As soon as you heard the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, you immediately wondered if he had anything to do with the creation of Anakin. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I didn't put two and two together for years. But it is implied in the pre-Disney novel "Darth Plagueis" that Darth Plagueis and his apprentice Darth Sidious were responsible for the anomaly in the Force that resulted in the creation of Anakin, and that's solidly in my headcanon.
Also I'm glad you have such good taste, most people don't care for Count Dooku as a villain. But I think he's one of the most interesting characters and would like to know more about him!
I've started watching Clone Wars and I'm liking that Count Dooku is important during that time!! It makes sense that Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious were experimenting with the Force, definitely feels right up their alley to discover more power!
“Is Anakin alright?” Her “about that.” 💀
It's hard to believe it's nearly been 20 years since these came out. About the same time that passed since the Original Trilogy came out when this movie released.
Definitely hard to believe it's been around 20 years, and then 40 years for the OT. Such a long spanning universe!
It's been very rewarding to watch you go through the originals and prequels, I'm really glad you enjoyed them so much. It is very greek tragedy, very shakespearean in how the later events of the prequels seem almost inevitable once all the pieces fell into place. I do agree that maybe the direction given to Ian Mcdiarmid might've been a bit theatrical and campy at times. For better or worse, it's become a bit of a meme now.
Palpatine's face got all weird because Windu's lightsaber reflected lightning back at him. I subscribe to the idea that Padme was dying was because Palpatine was leeching her life to keep Anakin alive, but severe heartbreak is known to be a predictor of death. Yoda's training for Obi-wan is presumably how Obi learns to become a force ghost later on.
I'm going to post a really, really long gushing ramble about Palpatine's insane plot over the years now, my sincere apologies in advance for how long this ended up being:
Palpatine's masterful conspiracy to bring down the Jedi and the republic is probably the top reason why I love the prequels so much. The Sith order had gone underground for a thousand years by this time, using the Rule of Two ("Always two there are, a master and an apprentice.") to concentrate their power and preserve their knowledge throughout the centuries, and to finally escape the scrutiny of the Jedi.
All of that culminating in Palpatine's decades long infiltration of the top levels of galactic government, where he become senator for Naboo. He then used the Trade Federation to manufacture a crisis on Naboo to get himself elected supreme chancellor. Upon learning of Anakin's existence, he seizes the opportunity to obtain an even more powerful apprentice by becoming a mentor and friend to the young Jedi.
He then leverages the real issues of corruption and gridlock of the senate to create an entire separatist movement. He gets tries to assassinate Padme, who is known to be outspoken in the senate, and when that failed; uses the Jedi to shuttle her away from Coruscant. As she wasn't there, he was able to manipulate her less capable stand-in to convince the senate to vote new emergency powers for the office of the chancellor. He retroactively authorizes the creation of the clone army in a galactic republic that had managed to avoid having a permanent force under arms for the last millennia.
Palpatine then, controlling both sides, gets the visible separatist leaders of Count Dooku and General Grevious to move against Coruscant directly, "abducting" him in a massive escalation. To any in the senate and the core worlds who remained aloof, this was no longer some periphery conflict, this hit home now. He continues to fuel Anakin's anger and frustration against the Jedi, appointing him to be his personal representative, and sows seeds that the Jedi are plotting a coup against the republic. He causes Anakin to have those nightmares of Padme dying in childbirth, which lets him slowly introduce the idea that maybe Sith teachings could save her; create the problem, sell the cure.
Anakin's anger at the hypocrisy of the republic and Jedi both are at an all time high now (which is expanded upon greatly in-depth in The Clone Wars animated series). Then comes the revelation of Palpatine as the Dark Lord of the Sith, Windu's attempted at arresting him, and Anakin's divided loyalties and fears for his wife's life. He makes the wrong decision, and is forever damned for it. The grief and exhaustion and betrayal of it all breaks him.
He does not react honestly and dispassionately like a Jedi, but rather emotionally and fearfully like a Sith. Anything to save Padme. Anything to avoid the truth: that he was manipulated by someone he thought a friend. Anakin will go on to project all of this onto Obi-wan and the Jedi shortly afterwards: that the Jedi were manipulating him, they were scared of his power, they tried to launch a coup, they are the ones who are evil. Admitting otherwise would mean admitting to being powerless, and Anakin cannot let himself do that. Powerlessness will not save Padme.
Palpatine finally achieves the goal of all Sith from over a millennia ago, and effectively annihilates the Jedi with Order 66. He gets Anakin to march into the Jedi temple and kill children, before being told to clean up the now used and worthless separatist leaders. Atrocities that solidify Anakin's desperate commitment and helpless isolation, a monster now known only to the very person who put him there. His failure to best Obi-wan and final descent into becoming Vader highlight the very lack of power he has now. And Padme's death will be a final condemnation of this delusion that Anakin was ever anything other than powerless the moment he surrendered to Palpatine.
Palaptine proclaims a new order to the galaxy, and crowns himself Emperor to the sound of thunderous applause.
The prequels is the Sith version of the Count of Monte Cristo (in space!) and no one can convince me otherwise.
Commenting for the algos to help out! Nothing else to say but great job with these reactions! Looking forward to more
Thank you! I appreciate it
Anakin sounded so "drugged up", hypnotized & exhausted after joining the Sith.
Everyone watching knows that even HE didn't really believe the words that was coming out of his mouth.
Anakin went from a well-intentioned but troubled hero into becoming a giant overpowered asthma inhaler.
@Verowak Reacts Great reaction. I feel the same about Padme's death. It always rang hollow to me.
I don't know if this is true, because they don't say it in the movie, but someone else commented that there is lore somewhere (books? maybe a show I missed?) that says that Palpatine was draining Padme's lifeforce to save Anakin. That would explain why she died. Not because she "lost the will to live" but because she was literally drained of her remaining life.
Yeah Padme's death is just a ... it is what it is to me lol
You are correct. There is more happening behind the scenes with Padme/Anakin at the end.
George Lucas confirmed Padmé died of a broken heart. It was NOT Palpatine. Good theory though.
I think it wold have been better if she went to Alderaan in hiding and died between the movies. Then Leia's memories would make sense as well.
@@Brandon-yy5cc Not doubting George Lucas, but it is hard for me to believe how Darth Sidious could have known that Padme had died. He wasn't there, and nobody else could have told him. It is true that he might be able to sense it, but his use of foretelling the future has always been sketchy at best. He also had Darth Plagueis transfer essence technique. There isn't enough reason for it to be in the story other than manipulating Anakin. I will see if I can find that interview because 'I find the answer disturbing.'
This is the best Star Wars movie by far
It really is, it was absolutely fantastic!
@@VerowakReacts Indeed
SO this is how Liberty dies, with thunderous applause. Kinda like reality (NOW)
That is such a good line. And it's so true 😨
Count Dooku is no slouch when it comes to Lightsaber sword play. He is top tier. Top 5 for sure.
Seriously recommend you watch Obi Wan Kenobi Series after this movie. It takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith and it is kind of a sequel for it.
I think Obi Wan will be the first live action TV series that I start watching. I'm starting Clone Wars but will also be doing a live action along with it
Just be aware that anything made by Disney doesn't care a lot about canon/rules from the original 6 movies. Not a deal breaker for everyone, but it can be off-putting for some.
@@joshuawiedenbeck6944 Don't lie to her just because you don't like certain things Disney made. There is NOTHING that doesn't make sense that Disney made. She will be her own judge.
@MeanMrMustard1 There is a lot of Disney Star Wars that ignores cannon and established rules. Three words: Gravity in space.
@@joshuawiedenbeck6944 Stop lying. Go be a party pooper somewhere else.
YES
The Death Star that was being assembled at the end of Episode 3 wasn't the one from Episode 4... it was a smaller "proof of concept" model. That would ensure they wouldn't waste all those resources building a full-sized one only to find out afterwards that all that new technology created for it didn't work right. They could work out all the bugs on the smaller one and then, once they were confident they knew what they were doing, supersized the hell out of it.
General Grievous is not a droid and hates being mistaken for one, he`s a Kaleesh cyborg and was a war hero on his home planet for centuries before joining the Separatists as a droid commander. He hates Jedi with a passion and collects their lightsabers as trophies after he kills them.
hello there! i'll probably post a second comment when the video is out, but since I guess you'll be even more likely to read this one, allow me to give you now some more suggestions :D.
You know about Clone Wars, i'm sure you'll watch it. But actually, idk if you planned to watch the movie Rogue One, which is very good! If so, i'd suggest you to watch the SW TV show Andor first (it's actually designed to be a Rogue One prequels). This show is incredibly well written, and it won't spoil you about the other tv shows. The only thing is that it's written in arcs (group of 2,3,4 episodes as for Clone Wars) of 3 episodes. So i'd suggest you to watch 3 episodes at once each time, otherwise it could be feel a bit slow.
I'm actually going to be watching Rogue One before any TV series. The TV series will be done sort of after the movies, except I'm starting Clone Wars for Patreon this week. I was going to watch Obi-Wan Kenobi next, but maybe I should watch Andor instead?
@@VerowakReacts that’s cool you’ll enjoy clone wars for sure!
so for next week, since you’ll watch them both, i guess it doesn’t really matter (but i would lie if i say i liked Kenobi, Andor on the other hand is amazing, and not just as a SW show).
So if you switch to Andor next week, i’m really not going to complain! especially if that makes you watch it before Rogue One. Otherwise both options are good i guess :)
Note that Andor and Rogue One have the same actors in it.
Oh and btw don’t forget to follow the chronological order list for Clone Wars (which means the show actually begins with season 2 ep 16), otherwise it’s a TOTAL mess and it kills the experience for the viewer, really ;)
@@pianoman1857 I;ve found a guide for the chronological order of the Clone Wars so that's what I'll be doing :D
if your going to do any TV series, I would 100% start with the Clone Wars
I actually am starting with the Clone Wars!
17:07 spot on, there is a lot of back and forth on it but the theory is either Anakin was born purely of the Midichlorians by some rare natural event in the force, or it was Palpatine's very master Darth Plagueis (who was assassinated by palpatine around the time of episode 1) who set the plan in motion to get the ultimate apprentice. Its theorized that Plagueis basically was the father, he gave Shmee the child through the force, Sidious used the trade federation blockade to lure the jedi towards Tattooine, it was all this massive plan to slowly groom anakin and create the ultimate sith, born purely of the force.
One interesting thing that not everyone picks up on is that the actor Palpatine, Ian McDiarmid, is the same actor from Return of the Jedi in 1983. He's also seen in Empire Strikes Back, but that was an edit done in 2004
watch "SC38 Reimagined" its short but Great 🥰
You are about the BEST at predicting the plot lines!
I feel like I'm pretty good at predicting how series develop. Standalone movies I have a much harder time
Twigged that Grievous must be a cyborg, rather than a sick droid, faster than anyone I’ve ever seen.
Never seen a droid cough before, only living creatures. Took an educated guess and it was right!!
As with Episode II, I missed Episode III in theatres. I was still in high school and lived out in the middle of the Great Canadian Nowhere, with the closest theatre being 30 minutes away in the city. But, as soon as it came out on DVD I bought it, watched it, and loved it. Obi-Wan is my absolute favourite character from the prequels and I can't wait for you to watch the Obi-Wan Disney+ series. Thank you for these reactions. They're fantastic!
I'm scared that if I watch Obi-Wan, there won't be more Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan afterwards :(
@@VerowakReacts I felt the same way when I watched it, but, in my opinion it was still worth watching. Especially for someone like me who'd been waiting seventeen years for Ewan's return.
Actually, it was Palpatine who killed Padmé through the force drain. He only said it, was because he wanted Vader to give in to the dark side.
One of the things I regret most is being so into star wars as a kid that I knew Ani lost his limbs in the battle on mustafar. As a child, I imagined it was Ben kicking him into the lava during the battle.
Watching this as an adult in the theatre, I just kept waiting for him to be injured and couldn't really be immersed in the emotional context of the battle.
@Antonio-Gransci I never said I didn't like the prequels, calm your ass down
Great reaction!
Those of us who had been along for the entire ride beginning in 1977 had been anticipating the climactic Obi Wan-Vader duel for decades. Lore from the beginning said that Vader's suit and respirator were necessary because Obi Wan had thrown him into a volcano in their duel. I think this might have been explicitly stated in the novelization of the first movie, but it's been ages since I read it and I might have that wrong.
"Palpatine... What a brilliant bastard." - If you ever wanted one sentence to sum up the entirety of Star Wars.
He's brilliant and I hate him 😂
40:48, Qui gon was studying to become a force ghost and the training is teaching him how to commune with Qui Gon so he can learn to become a ghost in Episode 4.
'Want to be apart of everything,' ah so the Sam Witwer approach. He's been apart of so many Star Wars products it's ridiculous. So talented too.
How *dare* you call me a petulant child with that Jim Carrey Smile?! This is *outrageous, it's UNFAIR*
🤣 Time to use sand attack against Anakin
Terrific job as always!
Thank you!!
20:26 you know the old saying, _"To be forewarned is to have four arms."_
Ian is amazing as Palpatine his intonation his theatrical performance just fits this type of character. It’s a space drama!
Can’t wait for you to watch Kenobi!! The last episode is amazing!!
Palpatine's stunned and disappointed expression when Vader/Anakin asks him: "- where is Padme? is she safe?..." is just priceless!So many lies and manipulations, and finally what does he hear from his dream student!??
"Jedi keep losing their light sabers..." Yup. Guess they never heard of a lanyard. 😉😄
I'm not sure what it is, but I gotta say, your reactions have helped me let go of a lot of the long-standing scorn I've held for the Prequels.
