ABOUT STAR WARS: EPISODE II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES
The story is set ten years after The Phantom Menace, as thousands of planetary systems slowly secede from the Galactic Republic and join the newly-formed Confederacy of Independent Systems, led by former Jedi Master Count Dooku. With the galaxy on the brink of civil war, Obi-Wan Kenobi investigates a mysterious assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala, which leads him to uncover a clone army in service of the Republic and the truth behind the Separatist movement. Meanwhile, his apprentice Anakin Skywalker is assigned to protect Amidala and develops a secret relationship with her. Soon, the trio witness the onset of a new threat to the galaxy: the Clone Wars.

What is your favorite Star Wars movie ever? Don’t forget to leave a LIKE if you enjoy the reactions ❤
Return of the Jedi but Clones is honestly up there.
Might just be Top 3.
Revenge of the Sith
Revenge Of The Sith
Funny things.. the plaza you identified as "definitely Italy" is actually a location in Spain.
For Naboo they shoot in Spain, and in Italy.
The "lake region" is actually lake como ( or lake Garda never remember which one they shoot in) and some of the palace interior are shot in Italian royal palaces
I'm basic so it's The Empire Strikes Back. It's the absolute best Star Wars for me, return of the Jedi closely behind it as I saw then when it was first released in theaters.
Kim losing her mind and getting turned on for Obi wan and Anakin is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. I needed that. Get ready for the next movie, it’s the best.
Kim's pondering about the impact of Obiwan's relationship over Qui Gon's was absolutely on point and totally what Dave Falloni has said.
Yep. Kim gets it!
And Filoni got it straight from Lucas.
So yeah, that's the story. Straight from the source.
No, Filoni came up with that himself. Lucas has never stated or implied that Anakin would have had a better handle on his problems if Qui-Gon had survived and taught him.
Sidious would still be around, trying to undermine Anakin’s trust in the Jedi even if Qui-Gon was Anakin’s teacher. Sidious would always be telling Anakin the flattering thing and tempting Anakin with the easy way, while Qui-Gon would be telling Anakin what he needed to hear.
And really, despite what fandom claims, there’s no indication that Qui-Gon is so different from the Jedi that his lessons would be all that uh, different from what Obi-Wan or Yoda provided.
@@GrapeCheckerBoard Apart from how we are told that Qui-gon repeatedly _clashed_ with the Jedi Council, you mean? And that he wouldn't have been a "big brother" to Anakin, he would have been a father figure. Obi-wan was just too young to train a problem case like Anakin right after he finished his own apprenticeship, and too young to be a father figure to him. Without Qui-gon, That role was taken by Palpatine.
Isn’t that why the track was called duel of the fates?
Kim is in a league of her own with these movie reactions man.
I agree. Her insight has been serving her well with this journey. I know you said Kim that you’d like to learn more. In that case I’d recommend watching the animated series The Clone Wars. It bridges the gap between episodes 2 and 3. I hope you enjoy Revenge of the Sith!
@@nerdscholar316 I'm late to the party but yes!, she picks up on stuff the average person can't or simply ignores, she really inmerses herself in the world and story of the movie, really refreshing. All of the aforementioned and she's THIRSTY LOL
Indeed she is... Her extroverted personality is perfect for reactions.
Kim's thirst levels are off the charts once again. And this is why these are my favorite Star Wars reactions!
Edit: Oh and since you're asking, they are 24 and 19. Yeah they elected a 14 year old to Queen on Naboo. That planet is WILD
OSHA would have a field day with them and their bottomless pit reactors with no guard rails.
@@caseyhastings9219 It's pretty clear there's no OSHA in the Star Wars universe after one look at the interior of the Death Star.
@@caseyhastings9219 geonosians must’ve designed it…
@@insomnaholic Vader would just force choke all the OSHA inspectors anyway. 😅🤣🤣
And she's not even the youngest elected lol
You're kinda right about Quigon being the one who should have mentored Anakin. When you know why it's called "Duel of the fate" it makes sense.
I mean it's the different between a father and an older brother mentoring or raising someone. Both will do a good job, but the older brother doesn't know as much, and probably will teach differently. Obi does his best to live up to Qui Gon, but it's hard, and impossible to at points
I don’t think this follows the whole “chosen one” storyline… Qui-Gon wasn’t meant to train Anakin. Anakin brings balance to the force in the end.
@@Wastelander1972 Nah, I'll listen to GL.
I'm sure you'll hear it a lot, but you'd love The Clone Wars (and the other shows as well), and it would expand upon the story quite a lot and fill in a lot of blanks and answer a lot of questions.
Especially the D Squad arch of Star Wars the Clone Wars
You seemed to get what was going on in Episode II better than most people that react to it. I cannot wait for Episode III. I think that you will find it answers the questions. You do get more of Obi-Wan in it. It is sad since these stories are telling of the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker.
The romance between Anakin and Padme being awkward makes a lot of sense. Anakin was first a slave and worked as a child. He then joined a monastic order than basically forbade intimate human interaction. Padme served her people from a very young age and was burdened with responsibilities up to and including a war. Then she became a Senator where she continued serving her people. What experience did either of them have in intimate human interaction?
Exactly, that’s why it makes perfect sense that both of them were awkward when it came to romance.
Still cringey in its execution
@@angramainyu9220 That's sort of the point though. You're supposed to cringe at their dialogue, their awkward movements, and their interactions. You're supposed to feel like it's weird. Cause it is.
@@kampy19 I meant cringe as in the way it was acted and whatnot.
@@angramainyu9220 Again, it's very intentional. The acting was *directed* that way to emphasize the awkwardness of both Anakin and Padme exploring these emotions neither had experience with.
Clone Troopers aren’t the same thing as Stormtroopers, but you are right that they lead into each other. The Clone Wars animated series fills in the years of the war, and you really get to know the Clones and the different Jedi better. It’s a great watch after Ep 3 Revenge of the Sith, in machete order; but it’s also seven seasons.
She'll would've found out. Also if I'm not mistaken, before Disney's acquisition, the clones becoming stormtroopers was canon; which explains video games like Battlefront II showing clones transitioning to stormtroopers.
@@hailchristandmary That was only the 501st legion I think though right? and they were still phased out because of their accelerated aging.
@@ItsAv3rageGamerThey still do transit into each other in some way. After all Stormtroopers still does remain being a special force inspired by the german stormtroopers from ww1 and the Waffen-SS troopers from nazi germany from ww2. The usual troopers the imperium used right after the Clones were shown in the war scene from Solo for example. So the usual Clones are different to the Stormtroopers simply by their role assignment. This is why in Bad Batch it is shown that the Stormtroopers are getting trained by Clone Commandos instead of regular Clonetroopers. But well y the Clones are first being absorbed into the Empire but get quickly replaced by imperial Troopers and afterwards the Stormtroopers. One could also say that the Clone Commandos do transit into the Stormtroopers.
@@hailchristandmarywhile most of the stormtroopers are regular people.
Kim squealing with delight when Anakin and Obi-wan show up just made my whole day. ❤️ And I too bet that she could take them both...in a fight!
Well.....kind of a fight??? Lmao 🤣🤣
😏
@KimEllendale Kim are going to watch clone war tv seires before 3 film?
@@KimEllendaleAfter you finished Episode 3 you should go watch these 6 short episodes Tales of the Jedi.
Star Wars Tales of The Jedi series are only 6 short episodes (max. 15-20 minutes) where there are more Jedi stories than Anakin and his ("y. sis. ") , Count Dooku and Qui-gon Jinn's relationship.
And if you will be more that you can watch clone wars Movie and series, Bad Batch and Rebels,... Or just watch tributes.
Later maybe Obi-Wan Kenobi Show, Mandalorian season 1,2 book of boba fett, Mandalorian season 3, and now Ahsoka series come out.
Luke doesn't cut off another hand, its the same mechanical one. When he does that's when he realizes that he's becoming more like his father, both having a mechanical hand
For me it's more like it links back to the cave scene on Dagobah. If he attacks out of fear/anger, he becomes the tyranny he's trying to overcome.
"Clone wars" is a whole series with a several seasons, and a magnificent piece of art, strongly recommended.
Born a slave. Slave to the Jedi. Slave to Palpatine. Finally freed by his son in his last moments. As beautiful as it is sad
And always a slave to his inevitable, unavoidable dark future. 😔
Love your analysis of Obi-Wan and Ani's relationship - you take everything in, and still take the time to have fun. The next one is the best by far, you're gonna love it.
A detail people overlook in regards to Anakin blaming Obi-Wan for his mother's death: Obi-Wan didn't believe in the visions Anakin was having, specifically because of him being a learner still.
True, but Obi Wan should’ve believed in Anakin’s visions.
@@jmwilliamsartbut he didnt thats the point lol
I swear it’s always “OBI WAN ITS ALL UR FAULT!”….”ITS BC OF OBI WAN!” ….”OBI WAN IS HOLDING ME BACK! “ Anakin..have you ever thought to take the blame for your wrongdoings? STOP BLAMING IT ON MY OBI! 😉
@@NotPadméAmidala Because it is his fault.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 debatable
The animated show The Clone Wars makes such a good job at depicting the actual friendship between Anakin and Obi-Wan, which is missing a bit from the movies. Would be amazing to see you react to it. If it (understandibly) is a little too much, you could perhaps get help from someone reliable to pick some of the most important arcs of episodes to watch.
Anyway, the amount of editing you do in these is unparallelled and amazing. Great work!
The way Kim says Qui-Gon's name ... sounds like Guy Gone.
Which is fitting since he is ... well, gone.
😂😂😂😢
because she doesn't want to "Qui" because he's Gon
@@VexNovaYT *squints eyes at dad joke* : Get Out!!! xD
@KimEllendale question are you watching clone wars tv series before 3 film?
@@VexNovaYT HAHA, THAT GOT ME!
Interesting fact about the tatooine homestead - they returned to Tunisia to rebuild the set for this film, only to find out the original set from 1977 was still there. Turned out the land owner decided to keep it as a tourist attraction and agreed to let them film the scenes they needed for this movie. So they are in the original homestead during this film
Episode 2 is underrated. Anakin's relationship with Anakin was so well executed. I remember watching the Yoda fight in cinema. It was pandemonium in the theater. Minds were exploding
Just to be clear since its a common misconception, this is indeed the genesis of the army that became the stormtroopers. However, by the time of the original trilogy most of the clones had been replaced by normal recruits. So some stormtroopers are clones but not nearly all of them
It makes a lot of sense that Anakin chafes against authority and not being able to take lead and make the decisions; he was a slave for the first 9 years of his life. Same reason he loves being a pilot, it represents autonomy.
On one hand that's definitely true.
On the other hand he's also shown to have internalized the authoritarian structures of his upbringing, believing that one strong leader should decide for everyone and that a dictatorship is actually not that bad if it works.
It also explains his passionate support of the Supreme Chancellor, who he sees as the aforementioned powerful leader who can make things work.
@@Slashycentell when you consider that Anakin grew up on Tatooine which was ruled by the Huts (authoritarian rule) it’s understandable that he would feel that a strong leader is capable of making the correct decisions. Also considering how corrupt most if not all of the senators are, and how the senate is stifled by bureaucracy, that there’s not enough interest in the common good, I can’t entirely blame Anakin for not having faith in the Republic.
The tragedy of the clones is furthermore shown in the clone wars animated series.
The show as well gives more insights into anakins mind.
It might be too long for reaction videos but I full heartedly recommend watching it as it is a true expansion to the story of star wars.
39:33. Padme: This situation is getting a little too intense, I’d better shoot him down gently. Where’s my most “I’m not interested” outfit?
It is like a Greek Tragedy. Lucas himself collectively referred to these six movies as "The Tragedy of Darth Vader".
It’s worth noting that clone troopers are NOT stormtroopers. Common misconception for first-time viewers due to the similar armor, but the stormtroopers came later.
I mean.....come on. That is a minor technicality that isn't even distinguished in the films themselves. Everything the films tell you storytelling wise is that these are Storm Troopers 1.0.
@@Biggiiful not true. The films tell us that the clones have growth acceleration, meaning they would be at least in their sixties by ANH, which the stormtroopers clearly aren’t.
@@darthgrievous8055the clones made the transition to stormtroopers before being decommissioned by the empire, in the legends lore it’s explained that they weren’t on their prime no more after some years of transitioning to stormtroopers and there were no more clone production lines so they just recruited normal people. In the new canon you can see it on the last episodes of clone wars where some clones already have stormtrooper armor even before order 66. By the time ep4 rolls around, most stormtroopers are normal recruited people but the one’s that are under command of darth vader (501st legion) remain clones as he couldn’t trust normal soldiers so he kept his old squad up lol
@@luisga9352 yeah, that’s great that that’s what happened in Legends, except that’s DEFINITELY not what happened in canon, which you’d know if you’d watched Rebels or Bad Batch. It was a major plot point in Bad Batch about how the clones were decommissioned and replaced with stormtroopers. Also, we never see any clones wearing stormtrooper armor before Order 66 in Clone Wars. Hell, even months AFTER the rise of the Empire, stormtrooper armor is still radically different from how it looks later.
@@darthgrievous8055 also in canon. My bad about the armor, I thought the ahsoka inspired helmets from the 332nd squad resembled stormtroopers but I was wrong. Still it’s considered that the first squads of imperial stormtroopers were clones, a fast read through star wars wiki page of canon stormtroopers can clarify that. I understand that in bad batch the clones were feeling bad that these new wave of troopers were replacing them, but for the general public in the galaxy every soldier was a stormtrooper regardless if it was clone or enlisted or how they felt of each other.
50:32 It makes sense why he isn’t grounded. He was a slave for 10 years , then when Jedi came and took him away and trained for 9 years, he believed that since he is a Jedi now he is very powerful and invincible. Now that he has lost his mother he is questioning whether being a Jedi is the only way to power and to protect those he cares for . It really is sad to see him like this
Oh, I never thought of it like that before. That makes this scene so much more sad.
I love Anakin here, the way George was not shy to made him a full teenager with all the problems and flaws of his age plus the traumas of his past. Also, George was very vocal about Anakin and Padme's romance being very diferent from the Han and Leia romance going more towards a classic 40's movie romance, that's why most people see it as cheesy, but I think it works wonders here, we're in a less cinical age.
Yeah, I feel like audiences called it "bad writing" because they figured "well, anakin is the hero, so we're supposed to root for him, so tis is a badly written romance because it's creepy and stalker-ish and weird."
But like. That's the POINT. It's intentionally written as a very UNHEALTHY relationship between two people with VERY different values. Padme's fatal flaw is she tries to see the good in people TO A FAULT. She's so convinced that she can bring out the good in Anakin, that her love for him will be enough, that she doesn't realise how far he's fallen until it's far, FAR too late.
@Y34HT045T I agree. Anakin was not creep or a stalker. This criticism is an exaggeration. Yes, he came on to her strongly but in the fireplace scene when she says that they can't be together. Anakin backs off saying she's right and that being together will destroy them even though he really doesn't believe that. After this, Anakin doesn't bring up feelings again until later when Padme confesses her love for him.
This movie is a blast from the past, from the Creation of the Clone troopers to Anakins tragic path towards the dark side, and who could forget the all powerful "Space Jesus". I look forward to see the epic conclusion that entwines this whole story (...the franchise as well) all together.
Yess, one of my favorite episodes. It's all coming together nicely.
A few things:
Keira Knightley's Padmé-decoy was called Sabé.
The decoy who was killed at the beginning of this film was called Cordé and you should be nice to her. >:(
I find it very funny that you find Master Windu, of all people, to be too positive lol. He's known to be kind of a hater.
His saber is purple because Sam Jackson asked for it, so that he could stand out and find himself in the big battle scene lol.
Obi Wan undoubtedly lacks Qui-Gon's authority and is very clearly in over his head with Anakin in a way his master wouldn't have been.
At least not to the degree that the council's young, inexperienced poster boy Kenobi is. He's just such a boy scout.
Qui-Gon was a free-thinking maverick, just like Anakin, and a strong figure of authority with a real presence. Meanwhile, Kenobi goes down on Anakin's level, making them feel like bickering brothers at times when Anakin truly needed a father.
Qui-Gon also encouraged Anakin, freely shared his wisdom and openly believed in him, unlike Kenobi, who _does_ care deeply for him but is more sceptical, critical and reserved, making Anakin think that he doesn't believe in him and is holding him back from reaching his true potential.
So Qui-Gon's death left a void in Anakin's life that needed to be filled by a strong and wise figure of fatherly authority, who believes in him, encourages him and makes him feel like he can share his problems without having to fear judgement and Kenobi struggles, if not _fails_ , to take on that role. Unlike Chancellor Palpatine...
The English voice actor for Dex the diner owner didn't actually have that many other notable roles. In the German dub, he's voiced by the same guy who did Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob though.
The Stormtroopers aren't Clones. Due to their accelerated aging, the Clones we see in these films would've been too old for that.
Hayden Christensen is an amazing actor and I love how much you appreciate his performance as Anakin.
It was actually super hated by the mainstream because it was too "awkward", "uncomfortable" and "whiny".
In other words: He was hated for playing the character too well lol.
Such a dumb "criticism". He perfectly portrayed the complex, tortured and sensitive young man that George envisioned.
The hate also reeks of toxic masculinity. Anakin was soft, emotional and somewhat feminine, not the cool badass murder machine Darth Vader or the smooth playboy Han Solo, so he obviously had to suck, right?
And he's _romantic_ , ugh. He talks about kisses and hearts and being tortured by love, what a whuss.
In truth, Anakin is a more layered, complex, realistic and fascinating character than the narrow-minded mainstream deserved at the time and Hayden's performance is to this day underrated.
His little facial expressions are godly. His timbre is modelled after James Earle Jones, the original Vader voice. He's funny, he's cute, he's scary, he's perfect.
You really just _understand_ the film the way it was intended.
The fact that Anakin and Obi Wan very clearly love each other even though they fight a lot.
The fact that Anakin was dangerously charming and tempting to Padmé the whole time and that they're unfortunately an incredibly cute and perfectly problematic couple.
The fact that she essentially replaced his mother in a bit of a Freudian ordeal.
The fact that he was never quite free.
You say the story feels like a classical tragedy. _It is_ . And it's about to enter its final act.
You thought this film was sad? Oh boy.
A storm is coming.
And it can't come quick enough! ;D
About the sequels:
The biggest issue to me is that they're just not part of Lucas's vision.
In fact, two thirds of the trilogy were made by a man, J.J. Abrams, who openly disliked half of Lucas's saga (namely the prequels) and went on a nostalgic crusade to try and redo the original trilogy to "make Star Wars great again!"
The other director was a little more open and wanted to include some of his own meta commentary on the series but still ended up mostly just copying the original trilogy as well.
It just no longer felt like an authentic story the way it did under Lucas, more like a deeply meta, self-canibalizing corporate remake of half of his work.
Regressive, repetitive and just plain unnecessary in my opinion.
How correct you are, Obi Wan may have believed in the concept of the ‘Chosen One’ but he didn’t believe in the man (Anakin). As Dave Filoni said what Anakin needed was family, and unfortunately the Jedi couldn’t give him that. The few times when Anakin did feel free is when him and Padme had some good times together during the clone wars.
The Jedi had become too dogmatic, rigid, and too detached from the people of the Republic. If you saw ‘Tales of the Jedi’ you can see how many had lost trust in the Jedi, they saw them as lapdogs of a corrupt senate.
Exactlyyyy
A “few” things? 🤣
When they met, Padme was 14 years old. She was a young queen, but not the youngest in Naboo history. On Naboo a queen is elected for a specific term before a new queen is elected, so it is normal that she has moved on from being queen to other civil service. Anakin was 9 years old at the time of their meeting. Obviously he was still physically a little boy whereas she had already hit puberty and a growth spurt making the age gap seem greater. In this movie, set 10 years later, Anakin is a typical moody 19 year old. He whines and complains like a teen, he bucks authority, his emotions drive his decisions, etc. I think his dialog, as awkward as it is some times, portrays the brooding awkwardness of an angst-ridden teen. Padme, having gone from queen to senator, is far more mature and grounded as a 24 year old in this movie. She has a decade of political experience and has carried the responsibility of her planet's well-being from her youth. Again, at this age, five years age difference is not so scandalous. Admittedly they are a mismatched couple when it comes to their level of maturity, but all involved are fully adult and able to make their own choices (as ill-advised as those choices might be).
It doesn't make sense that ten years of intense Jedi training wouldn't have matured
Anakin more IMHO
@@briansview2886That’s because they didn’t give Anakin an outlet for his feelings, they weren’t as understanding, kind, and non judgmental as Qui Gon was.
The problem with Obi-Wan as a teacher for Anakin is that he feels like an Older Brother to Anakin, when that's not what he needed, he needed a Father Figure, a role that Qui-Gon would have been far better suited for.
Wouldn't make any difference he'd still be a knob
@@karazor-el9596 no it would’ve made a pretty big difference lol. also if therapy existed in this world (for some reason it doesn’t??)
When Anakin wiped out the Tusken Raiders, he is way... WAY... past just being angry.
People use the word "hate" all the time, but you don't really know what it means until you see Anakin's massacre.
Anakin's love morphs to become something toxic and possessive rather than the true compassion he aspires to have, but honestly, was he ever set up for anything else? The Jedi Order were so rigid and dogmatic by this time that they were unwilling to budge an inch in regards to Anakin's deep feeling of connection to others. They told him to essentially deny a part of himself thst could have been healthy for him, and when he just couldn't anymore, it came out and was expressed in a way that he had no practice with and had no guidance for how to channel positively. As far as he can see, the Jedi never let him free his mother, never let him find romance, and never took his visions seriously. He's grasping for whatever he can manage to find for himself because his soul is broken without it. And he's flying blind.
I love how insightful Kim is with almost every aspect of these films. A lot of other reactors just kind of take things at face value and don’t think too much about the relationships between characters and such.
It's not "Quy Gone" (although the worplay works perfectly), it's Qui Gon (with a Q). "Kwaï Gone" if you want.
Anakin is clearly out of line despite being tactically correct.
As you noticed, Obi Wan is also very uptight, Qui Gon would have been more understanding and more able to deal with Anakin's psyche and find the right words to tell him.
In the deleted scenes on Naboo, Padmé shows Anakin her bedroom with all her memorabilia. She show him portraits of her in her humanitarian missions before she became queen. She really loves lost causes and damaged people.
Obi Wan will be a sassy ahole to Anakin for four years straight during the Clone Wars, nicknamed the Master of Trolling or the Master of Sass. It's quite fun to watch.
Naboo is the planet, the city is called Theed. And the circular plaza is none other than a CGI modification of the Plaza de Espania in Sevilla.
Funny how being appointed Senator could in fact be seen as promotion, since you get closer to the Galactic center of power and its inner workings, despite not taking care of your own people directly, you still gain in influence and contacts.
Anakin complies with Padmé because despite her scouldering, her reasoning is tactically sound. Remember Obi Wan saying to Luke that Anakin was a "cunning warrior" (in French they way "a brilliant tactician".
Clone Troopers are not stormtroopers. Clones are much better trained overall. (but much more expansive so when the war ended, they were replaced by conscripts...) The clones are copies of a Mandalorian warrior, there is no better human template than a Mandalorian for a clone army.
You might be one of the two or three who actually call out Padmé for her BDSM outfit in front of a horny and damaged teenager...
That's not being romantic, that's beeing obsessive. Obsession is NOT a good thing. It's the mark of codependancy, not something you want to cultivate for a sane relationship.
Watto probably sold Shmi to pay some debt...
I urge you to listen to Phantom Menace OST, Anakin's theme and the end credits in their entirety, pay close attention at the very end... Ani's theme becomes Darth Vader's in foreshadowing.
For context, humans on Tatooine learn to distrust and hate Tusken Raiders becaus they are dangerous. Anakin's prejudice is sort of understandable.
About 187 Jedi died that day in the arena, just saying...
Remember Return of the Jedi, Luke cuts the arm and it shows electrical circuits... the arm was already cut off once, like here...
A Greek tragedy you say? Exactly that it is !
Can't wait for your next reaction.
Obi Wan blaming himself... "I thought I could train Anakin as well as Yoda, I was wrong."
She knows it's Qui-Gon
Ewan McGregors brother is an air force pilot in the British RAF and his call sign is Obi 2.
"Guy Gone, I know his name now"
😆
"I can take them both"
😳
The Clone Troopers are not the same people you see as The Stormtroopers in the other movies. Those stormtroopers are normal people from all over the galaxy who signed up to join. The Armour being white can be confusing but try to remember they aren't the same people. :3
No one answered this question for me-Who paid for the Clone Army?
It’s one thing for a cashless Jedi to place the order on behalf of the “Republic.” It’s another thing to come through with the billions of credits to pay up for the order.
Dooku was the one to suggest it to Sifo Dyas, and offered up his family's fortune to cover the costs (without mentioning that most of the money came from Sidious).
These are my favorite Star Wars reaction videos. Everything from the hilarious editing to Kim going crazy over Anakin and Obi-Wan is just a joy to watch.
Dooku is a Sith Lord named Darth Tyranus, he was Qui Gon's teacher and friend, like Qui Gon, he gradually became disillusioned with the Jedi Council and after Qui Gon's death at the hands of Darth Maul, he left the order, soon after which he was recruited by Sidious as his disciple, which he needed after Maul's defeat. Dooku, with the help of his influence, pushed many systems that were disappointed in the corruption of the senate of the republic, which was collapsing under its weight, to revolt and demand independence, as a result, these systems will become a Confederation of Independent Systems or an alliance of the Separatists. Thus, the Sith have organized a war in which they control both sides, having the ability to create chaos to gain more power. Dooku suggested that Obi Wan kill Sidious just to take his place with Obi Wan as his disciple, for this is the way of the Rule of Two. The entire conflict, which lasted for several years and was called the Clone Wars, can be seen in the magnificent animated series Clone Wars, which takes place between the second and third episode
I'm going to start using Guy-gon instead of Qui-gon. Sounds more rad
People give Hayden shit about portraying Anskin as a moody, annoying brat. Wait until they realise that 19-yr olds (cannon) are moody, annoying, pver-confident brats. They are pretty emotional too and I can only imagine what surpressing it does to you. Hayden played him perfectly.
He was the perfect actor to play Anakin Skywalker
I’m glad you’re getting so much enjoyment out of this trilogy. And once again, your capacity for immediately insightful and astounding analysis takes my breath away.
Also, if you think ‘Grumpy mum Obi-Wan’ is cute, wait until you meet ‘Rockstar Kenobi’ in the Clone Wars series.
Finished watching the reaction... I'm pleasantly surprised you enjoyed it this much! It does seem like you really enjoyed it. And you're actually really insightful about the characters and seeing where they're coming from. Can't wait for you to watch Episode III!
What the movie doesn'tfully explain is that Count Dooku iwas the Jedi master who trained Qui-Jon.When he heard the his former padawan had been killed by a Sith he asked the Jedi Council to take action against the Sith. They refused and Dook went to confront the Sith Master himself. Instead the Sith convinved him the Jedi had lost their way and Dooku became the Sith apprentice.
I always had the theory that the Mom died because of Anakin. His fear consumed him so much that he was manifesting the dark side. At that moment the dark side overwhelmed the Mom and pushed her over the edge.
It's entirely up to you Kim, but if you ever plan to in the future, I'd highly recommend the Star Wars Clone wars series watchalong after you finish the prequel trilogy. Its some of the best pieces of star wars stories out there. It's 7 seasons long though so i understand if its too much
It is also nearly 70 hours for all the episodes.... Not counting the pilot movie that started it off... Totally worth it though.... SO MANY questions about Star Wars are answered throughout the series... It also goes into depth of different characters that just seem to be extras in the movies... PLUS... It introduces fans to Anakin's padawan, who evolves into one of the most popular, and most developed character in the entire franchise...
Maybe one video per season. Highlight video, perhaps? Until the last few episodes, anyway.
"Anakin the feral Jedi cat" LOL
If you feel bad about the clones fate now, you should give The Clone Wars series a watch. Theirs is a very tragic tale at the end of everything but I can’t say more for fear of spoiling

58:39 Canonically, it's because purple is a mix of blue and red, representing how Mace walks the thin line between the light and dark sides of the Force. In reality, it's because Samuel L. Jackson really likes purple.
I think Dex's Diner was my favorite scene in the whole movie, I would love to see a sitcom based on the Diner, like Two Broke Girls or Alice. And I love how during the original trilogy you were wondering what could have tempted Anakin to the Dark Side, and here you realize he'd do anything to protect Padme....
I’m glad you appreciate Hayden’s casting and acting.. George knew exactly what brash young Vader needed to be .. it’s a shame he didn’t get the same recognition back then that he does today
When Qui Gon fights Darth Maul in episode one, the music to it is called Dual of Fates, meaning the fate of Annakin. If Qui Gon won and trained Annakin then he wouldn't have become Vader, but as we know he lost......
It´s crazy how she actual gets these movies and sees them as they are attended
She understands so much that others oversee when watching this
Its astonishing how close she gets but quite :)
the jango edit was just mean
PS: Padmes dress, I call it the dominator
Dooku's name is derived from the Japanese word "doku", meaning poison. However, his name had to be changed for the Brazilian dub of the film because in Portuguese, "du cu" (pronounced exactly the same as Dooku) means "from the ass", "of the ass" or "I do anal". The character was called "Dookan" in Brazil.
Moana was retitled Oceana for release in Italy because of a pornstar named Moana.
Prequel Trilogy: First Phase - Ewan McGregor: OB-1
Original Trilogy: Second Phase - Sir Alec Guinness: OB-2 ?
😆
7:33 to 7:43 OMG woman contain your thirst 😂😂 No but i can understand EVERYTHING your going through this reaction lol
1:05:40 What most people don´t get:
R2-D2 belongs to Padmé. C-3PO belongs to Anakin.
After they are married R2-D2 is Anakins droid, and C-3PO seems to be with Padmé.
So it seems the droids were exchange gifts for each other at the wedding.

"Darth Vader/Anakin's story is very tragic."
You have it exactly, Ms. Ellendale.
"Tragedy" has, these days, become an overworked and devalued word. One hears of a tragic outcome to a schoolboy's mental turmoil, of a tragic train collision, the tragic choke of a sports team set to win a championship series. We hear of the tragedy of Covid-19, the tragedy of the educational system, and the tragedy in the Ukraine (and if you think _this_ one is horrible, you should look up what befell them under Stalin almost a century ago). But to the playwrights of ancient Greece, a tragedy was a very particular thing, as Robert Silverberg comments in the March 1996 issue of *Asimov's Science Fiction,* thusly:
"...the story of a man (or sometimes a woman) of great capability and attainment and ambition, who attempts great things and, ultimately, fails in his attempt, overreaching himself and losing all because of some inherent and fundamental flaw in his character. The very thing that drives him to his greatness will eventually and unavoidably bring him down. His downfall and defeat are instructive; and the onlookers, the audience at the drama, experience a catharsis, and go from the theater purged of the feelings of pity and fear by having vicariously lived through the tragedy of the hapless...protagonist."
Your observations at 51:02 and 51:55 clinch the matter. Anakin Skywalker belongs securely in the pantheon of Classical figures like Prometheus, Oedipus, and Agamemnon, and Shakespearean ones like Macbeth, Lear, and Othello (whose own fatal flaw in particular is the same as as Anakin's - he is "one that loved not wisely, but too well," not only in his infatuation with Padme but in that he _cares_ very much and wishes to help so much that he chafes at the forces holding him back from what he knows to be his potential, setting him up for one who will present him with a quick and easy path to action that shall end up both liberating him and enslaving him once more). 😓
Fun fact: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, who played Grand Moff Tarkin in A New Hope were best friends in real life. They stared in several films together starting in The Curse of Frankenstein in 1957 and lasted throughout the 60’s and 70’s.
I've always thought Anakin turned to the dark side too easily. But after hearing you analyze his motivation is making me rethink that.
Don't apologise for talking too much its what makes these reactions the best I've ever seen.
43:00 they actually added his mother's voice in a later re-release. When it was just Anakin moaning away my teenage self was mortified in the cinema "Dude stop I've got my parents here..." 😂
Yeah, that must have been really weird😂😂😂😂
That moment when Anakin tells Padme he's really ahead of Obi-Wan in many ways and she immediately went, "Pfffffft!" was * chef's kiss*
I like watching people's reactions but never comment until now. I really enjoy your analysis throughout these films, to me your insights and attention to details are so spot on. I can't wait to see your future reactions and analysis on the rest of Star Wars films and series.
By the end of the movie, you will realize that Anakin has Borderline Personality Disorder. He ticks off nearly every box in the disorder. That's not to say people with that disorder cannot be highly functional in other areas without becoming serial killers. Anakin has issues with abandonment. He was taken from his mother, Qiu-gon was going to train him only for him to abruptly get killed. You see how quickly he attaches to Padme. He is looking for belonging, and that is why he was quick to connect with Luke later on in the story. You can see from the dialogue he has about the Jedi, that he always feels like he has to over-compensate. He's not really part of the group. His world is one of extremes. Your either my friend to the end, or my greatest enemy. And that kind of loyalty is going to get tested in the next movie.
It is incredibly rare for anyone to understand Anakin's true failing. Namely, that he feels too deeply and it can be used against him. I am glad you see that and thank you for noticing it. It is his heart that makes him fall and it is his heart that redeems him in the end.
Also, while I didn't like the sequels, you are free to watch and react to them if you want to. For those of us who grew up before the prequels, there was a lot of content about things after the original trilogy and maybe some of that tainted our views about what the sequels should have been. Either way though, I think they broke canon, didn't have a plan going in, and had an actual desire to kill off the original characters so that there was no possibility of them carrying the torch instead of the new Disney created characters. But if you like them, good for you, I wanted to enjoy them but couldn't. And anybody who chastises you for what you like doesn't need to be listened to.
The Jedi's belief in "Do, don't try" is literal about everything, so they don't offer any assistance in regards to controlling emotions and urges, just expect you to do it.
This is why the Jedi didn't want to train Anakin, and said he's "too old". Kids who are old enough to have strong, long-term memories of their families have a difficult time achieving a lack of attachment.
They were right. He was too old. They accepted him because Qui Gon Jinn convinced them that he was the Chosen One. He was right, but it didn't work out exactly as Qui Gon expected.
No he wasn't. Luke was much older and became a great jedi. The problem was that the jedi had become so dogmatic and lost its way. If Qui Gon had survived the "duel of the fates" fight Anakin wouldn't have turned to the dark side.
The jedi in the past would recruit when they were older but over time they would recruit them younger and younger.
@@Karl15247 I was explaining their viewpoint and the origin of the practice, not offering an argument for or against it. Clearly, the Jedi made a great many mistakes.
In Anakin's case, though, they were right. He was far to extreme in his love and fearful of loss to become a Jedi.
@@elementzero3379 And I think you are wrong. If Qui Gon survived and helped him work through his past and emotions he wouldn't have fallen. Instead the jedi taught to repress his feelings.
@@Karl15247 Maybe. We'll never know, as that wasn't the story.
Qui Gon is my favorite Jedi. He was more "human", and a throwback to another era.
@@elementzero3379 Pretty sure George Lucas said it. In my mind it is canon.
Luke actually cuts the same arm off. It was already a mechanical arm by Return of the Jedi because of Dooku.
RE: Anakin's mother dying in his arms: Hospice nurses have confirmed that this sort of thing happens in the real world all the time. In case after case, people have held on to see a child graduate or get married or return from deployment, only to pass away just after. People have an amazing ability to hold on when they have a reason to.
funny thing about Obi Wan being a goodie-two-shoes. in the book "Master and Apprentice", when Obi-Wan was an initiate before being selected to be taught by a master, he was known for always breaking the rules, talking back, and just being an overall trouble maker. it was only when he was paired with Qui-Gon, a known maverick to the standards of the Jedi, that Obi-Wan started to actually follow the Council. it was always in his nature to contrast his mentors. like master like padawan lol
Obi Wan should’ve followed Qui God’s example with Anakin instead of doing things the way he council told him to. He was too blind to see that the Jedi had lost their way a long time ago, and that they had become too dogmatic, rigid, and arrogant.
Ah, yes!
The epic tale of Guy Gone and Dark Vader.
Dooku was trained by Yoda and saw the potential within Dooku. Dooku after his training was regarded as the best lightsaber duelist ever in the order only second to Yoda and being a equal or greater than Mace Windu aka Samuel Jackson character. Dooku took in Qui Gon and and both had a fatherly and son relationship. Both saw the corruption of the senate in the republic and hate the arrogance of the Jedi council.
However Qui Gon decided and always has is to follow the will of the force. A Jedi’s purpose to follow the will of the force not be involve in politics and war. Jedi are peace keepers not war fighters. Dooku gave up on the Jedi after the council refused his request to save his planet just because they don’t pay bills for the republic. Dooku continued and at that point left the order. He joined Sidious hoping to lead the new republic and that he can kill Sidious. While Dooku is a Sith Lord now and no longer a Jedi, he still wants to destroy the sith. His goal is to overthrow the Jedi, the republic and his master Sidious himself to establish a far greater aristocratic utopia. The reason why he never kills Obi Wan is because he is Qui Gon’s student, Obi Wan is the last piece of Qui Gon that is alive. He wishes to take Obi Wan as his apprentice and rule the new republic together. Dooku thinks of Qui Gon as a son but sadly died when he told the council to worry about the Sith’s return.
At this point of time the stormtroopers are known as clone troopers who are soldiers to fight alongside with their Jedi allies for the republic. Now the clone war started where the Jedi and clone soldiers are fighting the Separatists, droid army, Dooku and Sidious.
Qui Gon was obviously a father figure for Anakin while Obi Wan is more like an older brother for him.
In Episode 1 Padme was 14 and Anakin 9 .
In Episode 2 She has 24 and Ani 19 .
😅😂
Kim: Obi-Wan is very much a good boy
Obi-Wan, 10 minutes later: * launches himself out the window *
(Also if you think about it Qui-Gon was a maverick, so the only way for Obi-Wan TO rebel against his master would be by following the rules)
Q: Who was that guy in the first movie? He was Obi-Wan's master... where is he?
A: Oh, that guy's gone.
Q: Guy Gone? I know his name now.
A: Wait, no... it's Qui-Gon. His name is Qui-Gon Jinn,
LOL
It is best that you speak so much about these things and characters! So pausing is totally fine! It is so wonderful hear your insights and thoughts!
7:40 Giiirl! Restraint yourself! Behave now!!!! 😂😂😂
You noticing small things like The Rule of Two and the Qui-Gon being better for Anakin debate is why I love your content so much. Very insightful!
Watch the sequels if you want to. Don't bother listening to haters. If you end up liking them and they not it's just their problem. Honestly I don't think they're as bad as some people make them out to be so you might actually end up enjoying them.
We always take Padmé as more mature and she does act more composed, until she starts doing the wildest shit and executes the most dangerous ideas. 🤣
She more emotionally mature, but at the end of the day, she only 24, she's still very young and has a little more growing up to do😅😅😅😅
We need to make a drinking game out of how many times Kim will say "Guy-gon" 😂
Also 30:20, Yep, adorable child soldiers lol. Look up the lore and you realize, man, the Jedi are kinda messed up.
She had me thinking I've been saying it wrong all these years 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
QuiGon is definitely a guy who has gone bye bye lol
RIP, my liver.
I would advise against watching the sequels. Not just because they're bad (which they are), but because when George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney, he had a version of the sequel trilogy outlined that he wanted them to make, with him involved. Disney agreed to this, but shortly after taking control, they stabbed Lucas in the back and made a their own version of the sequels without him. Disney's sequels ended up being completely different from what Lucas had wanted. So, in short, there are only six Star Wars movies, because Star Wars' creator only made six.
Well she is watching them and will like them more😂
Another whiner to ignore. So ridiculous. The majority of fans like them
@@briansview2886 I mean, that's not true lol. Also, what does fans liking or disliking them have to do with anything I just said?
@@JamesSmith-bg6dk it means most like them and she will too. Why is it necessary to try and tell her not to? Are you afraid she'll be like most of us? My prediction: she loves them
@@briansview2886 I also think she will like the sequels. Maybe not as much as the originals, but I don't see her joining the hate train at all.
Qui Gon is Guy Gone
Funny fact, mace windu actor Samuel L. Jackson wanted a purple Lightsaber as he wanted one different, and George Lucas allowed him to have it.
Kim, when i was younger, i read a children's picture book of star wars and it was set in the past, and Senators were being kidnapped into flying limosines and replaced with duplicate clones of themselves that were like zombies that could be manipulated into doing anything you told them to do
as someone who grew up with the og trilogy as a child and was a young adult when the prequels came out and middle aged for the sequels: the prequels were absolutely hated by the most adult fans of star wars back when they came out - for the stiff acting and the bad writing and the ridiculous antics of certain characters - jarjar ain't for us, fam, he's for little kids to laugh at. the kids that grew up with them absolutely loved them and the public shift in overall perspective as those kids have aged into adults has moved the needle into generally well-liked.
the same will be true of the sequels. they have some different issues; my main issue was that they didn't draft a story outline for the trilogy and let each director kind of do their own thing so 7 set some things in motion, 8 upended a bunch of that, then 9 had to work really hard to be a conclusion. and some of the same issues: there is just some nonsense goofiness but the 7yo next to me was cracking up so, you know... that was for her not me. those kids will grow up loving it and show it to their kids and the overall perspective will shift just like the prequels have. there are legit criticisms to make, but they are not as bad as people whine about. there's a lot of good stuff to enjoy if you just kick back and go for the ride. like. don't take it too seriously and you can have a good time, you know?
Pretty spot on with the analysis of Obi-wan vs Qui-gon as Anakin’s master. Obi-wan did not want to train Anakin and only did so because Qui-gon wished it. He literally just became a full Knight and had to train the most important student ever. Qui-gon himself was a bit rebellious and would have understood Anakin and his push against authority much more than Obi-wan.
1:01:12 That’s explored more in the show!! The clones are quite a tragic bunch
Your commentary is a whole other movie 😂
Christopher Lee; "Count Dooku" ; "Saruman" and he also Played "Dracula".. such great characters
All that talk about whether Jedi can fall in love really makes me want to see what you think of the Clone Wars series. No spoilers, but it gives a reason for why Obi Wan can talk with authority on the subject of attachment, and then the letting go of said attachment.
Mace Windu's unique purple lightsaber was Samuel L Jackson's idea. Purple is his favourite color and he wanted his character to have a distinguishable lightsaber so that he could pick himself out from amongst the other Jedi in the battle scenes.
Kim describing their relationship was amazing.
“Bro control your fucking boy! He’s like a feral cat”! 😂😂😂
Fantastic reaction, and very insightful as well. You caught a lot of small details and subtle nuances that a lot of people miss. Only one left is Revenge of the Sith (and you're probably gonna want to get the waterproof makeup for that one lol).
People worry about the age gap with Padme and Anikin, but she's only 4 years older than him
