Use my link ridge.com/robothead to get up to 30% off through April 1st. Video sponsored by Ridge.
Jake Lloyd who played Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace has had a pretty rough time over the years. His mother recently came out and talked about his mental health issues. And what she said really upset the Disney shills who hate the truth. Join me in going down memory lane and reliving 1999!

Did you have America Online in Australia back in the 90's?
Hilarious as always ❤ RH
@RobotHead *where is that sexy voiced wife of yours hiding, lol? My wife is Mexican and although beautiful her accent is like nails to my brain. Lol*
The best thing about Disney Star Wars is the fact that they made me enjoy the prequel trilogy more than I ever did before Kennedy killed the franchise! ❤
Me too 👍
I hope this gets over a million likes.
Isn't that sad?? loool
Of course you blame Kennedy for current Star Wars. It couldn't be the mass of shareholders, producers and toxic fanboys who need to find something to hate about every piece of Star Wars media right?
💯
They aren't rewriting them. They're trying to overwrite them.
Just like George Lucas has tried to overwrite the theatrical OT films. And guess who people hate on for criticizing George for trying to do that? (hint: They hate on the OT fans.)
@@G360LIVE The difference between Lucas and Disney is that Lucas genuinely rewrote them. Disney's just trying to straight-up overwrite without any regard for what came before.
@@kennyholmes5196the other difference is that Disney is a corporation and Lucas actually created Star Wars. So whatever he wanted to do with the lore, he was more than willing to do so
@@G360LIVE For NOUGH reason!
Lmaoo
The "people" who are fans of Disney stuff criticizing the OT/PT fans about this article look exactly like I expected them to look. Down to the Funkos.
I mean OT and Prequel fans look the same in all honesty. The type of fan has never changed.

Numbers don't lie. Diminished returns from the recent movies and TV shows. No one is buying Rose and Rey action figures. No matter what crap they spout Disney Star Wars is failing.
And I can confirm kids and adults still enjoy action figures or figurines. I personally don't, but my nieces and kids love toys, and there are plenty of people who collect anime and other types of figures. It's wild how delusional fanboys can be
Failed*
@user-qb6ze6di8k
SW games aren't too hot on the returns either. For every Fallen Order or Forced Unleashed there's probably 3 Battlefront Remasters, the only reliable hope they have are other IPs borrowing their characters for crossovers such as Fortnite
Being a 37 year old who watched all the prequels when they came out, all I can remember is most of the criticisms I saw were coming from places like the Simpsons and south park spoofing them or snide jokes here and there.
This modern concept of toxicity I saw was a story I heard second hand about kids being kids with Jake and people calling jar jar racist.
Yeah, and it was also agreed the movies got better with each installment.
Really? I remember many people think AotC was a huge step backwards, but then RotS knocked it out of the park!
@@tylerskiss I think the dislike of AotC has been a bit of a slow boil type thing. Because I remember a lot of people not liking PM because of lil' Annie and Jar Jar, but because of the great and memrable Maul fight and it's music it overtook AotC.
@@officerbucktuddrussel394Man, remember when Darth Maul's double bladed saber was revealed? I think we all lost our collective minds over how cool it was, and the fight choreography was awesome to watch
The fans may have disliked Jar Jar, but the media called Jar Jar racist. Also, Jake has struggled with mental illness for many years, and according to his mom, his mental illness had nothing to do with Star Wars. In fact, she said that she shielded Jake from all the criticism directed toward him. He knew nothing about it. Today, he's doing a lot better, and his mom says that he still loves Star Wars. He's a fan of the Ahsoka series.
Yep the hype was f*ckin real. I was there 10000 years ago. I had 3 boss noss McDonald's cups and Darth maul was all the rage! And then I saw the matrix 15 times in theaters. I feel sorry for gen z and alpha. They know nothing!
Wish I was born in then 90's so I could get a Boss Nass McDonald's cup :(
I don't think you know whom gen x refers to.
@TheGreatSteve I'm drunk I'm meant z. Thanks
Pretty much.
It was an amazing time.
You get that stupid Darth Maul toy where he’s on his bike? Loved it.
There was that Yum Brands collaboration, which is KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell. They all had different toys. I must've collected over half of em.
Dude… the biggest difference between now and the 90’s is now the average person who doesn’t like a movie probably thinks they could do a better job.
The funny thing is that the average movie goer has a short attention span and now really only go to movies to escape reality.
@@Deuteromis Not to mention the amount of jump cuts in each scene where the camera cuts back and fourth to whatever character is talking, so essentially the actors are not even acting with each other, essentially making the scene less realistic when it's always close ups on their faces. Also action in movies use overly use shaky cam and have jump cuts every 1/4 of a second
@@Deuteromisalways have. People are just scared of it now because of tiktok and shit pointing it out to people lmao. There's a reason horror movies and action films have been smash hits for so long
@@finkamain1621this is only a new thing because it's far easier to do. People have always had fairly short attention spans, it's how horror movies drawing out horror is so effective. If you can get a viewers attention for a good bit of time you can build up a lot of tension and get their focus for a scare.
And generally speaking, the skills of Hollywood have degenerated so much that the general moviegoer probably could do a better job.
11:20 I don't remember any reports or court cases of assault towards Hayden Christensen ... unless "brutal attacks" means something different than I thought it did.
To a man-child as b1tch-made as Jacob, any kind of criticism (real or imagined) is a "brutal attack".
Words are violence don’t you know. /s
The term “brutal attacks” is referring to mild verbal bullying.
@@Princess_FeonaI would say thoughts are violence. People become depressed when they believe what people say. Start thinking for yourself and never mind the bullies. That’s the key to peace of mind.
@ Omega-EP
Violence is violence.
Thoughts often precede violence but they are not violence in and of themselves.
Even incitement is an act, not just words.
We have no laws against thoughts at least so far. We do have codicils however which is disturbing enough.
The problem with his p***sy generation. They forgot the old adage “sticks and stones”
I was 25 when Episode 1 came out. Everyone thought before the film that it was going to be unbelievably amazing. The marketing had been genius. When we got to see the film, there was some disappointment for sure… it was … well … passable. Any negativity was mostly on Jar Jar ( the character and Lucas for how he wrote him ) and the very simple ( yet confusing ) storyline. Among SW fans,there was a MUCH larger backlash on “midiclorians” than anything about Jake Lloyd. He was fine and just had like one stupid line at the end that people eye rolled at. But still people had faith in the new films… there wasn’t outrage or toxic fandom. After episode 2 and 3 There was passionate annoyance at Lucas’ lazy writing but not even one 10th as bad as Episode 8. And definitely not on episode 1…. Everyone still had faith it was going to get better as the story went on. That guy is a moron.
Edit: thinking more about this I don’t think Jake Lloyd even made the top 10 ep1 complaints… I heard far more often ( in no particular order):
- Jar Jar was idiotic
-Midichlorians ruins the spiritual nature of the force
- Anakin making C3P0 is stupid
- the stupid Roger Roger robots
- the blockade makes no sense in space
- the space station was blown up too easily
- why kill Darth Maul so quickly?
- really? Immaculate conception??
- is Anakin old enough? How TF are they going to reconcile the age difference? Why didn’t they make him more like Luke’s age?
- why is Lucas writing this story for younger audience? The OG fans would prefer it to have more gravitas like ESB
That’s the stuff I can recall. More people were still upset about “Han shoots first” even.
Hate for Jake Lloyd just wasn’t a thing.
( and with all the “complaints” above I still watched TPM 3 times in the theater… and so did everyone else. this whole brutal behavior thing is just made up )
This is a very accurate summary.
You pretty much nailed it. 🙂👍
Junior in high school when TPM hit theaters - co-signing all of the above. Any criticism of Jake was in context of his age only. Eg: the creepy proto-romance etc
Movie nerds congregated on sites like Ain’t It Cool and basically everyone gave TPM a pass hoping that the next movie would be the Empire of the prequels. General prequel hate/nitpicking only really gained steam when they announced the title for AotC which everyone thought was goofy as hell
Yeah, the "midichlorian" thing kinda wrecked the mythos for me. So the whole Jedi thing is just about having lots of blood bugs?
Wow you’re taking me back.
Jacob looks like he couldn't handle ketchup without crying😂😂😂😂
ITS TOO SPICY 😭😭😭🥱
@@versecontro4898 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
That's disgusting. How you could watch this video then male fun of Jake is beyond me. Forget toxic. You're a total asshole!!
@@williampotter3369 Its wet and it gets everywhere.

I’m still convinced he is a bot
He enjoys the human contact. Even brings his own locker.

Jacob shill IS the toxic fan....that guy just needs to look in the mirror to find who is toxic in SW fandom. Lots of people liked Phantom Menace and ST. Not even sure who this loser is referencing....perhaps himself as stated above.
He looks cartoony like many other "influencers" and youtubers.
The true enemy of modern Star Wars is quality.
the mental illness is strong with people who like recent star wars
The only Disney Star Wars projects that I like are The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian, Star Wars: Rebels, Tales of the Jedi, Andor, Ahsoka, Rogue One, Solo, and the video games. The sequel trilogy, Book of Boba Fett, Obi-wan Kenobi, and Star Wars: Resistance are all crap.
@@zachyogus742 let me guess you were born after the year 2000
@@rivvvers Yes, I was. I was born in 2002. Why?
The best part about Jake’s story is that he still loves the time he spent in episode 1 and frankly that’s such a real fan. That’s the love of Star Wars I used to hold. It’s such a shame about his mental illness I hope he and his mom find the care he needs
I'm 36, I don't think I'm capable of partying like it's 1999 anymore 😩
Yeah those party’s when one was 11 were for sure off the hook. Good times. Glad I settled down and had a family at 12.
@@levacfamily3177 we used to do sugar and smoke candy cigarettes, those were dark times. Because of those Bazooka gum's micro comic/joke, I became addicted to war, dinosaurs and chrome...such degeneracy!
I was born in '04, which means I wasn't even a concept when The Phantom Menace came out. I was, however, old enough for the Lego Star Wars games and for the Clone Wars TV series, not to mention my family had all six Star Wars films on DVD. In other words, not only was Star Wars a big part of my childhood, but the Prequels especially. Even today, I still hold them in high regard. I enjoyed the Phantom Menace, Revenge of the Sith is my favorite of all of them, and I'm probably the only fool on Earth who thinks Attack of the Clones is a good film. And you know what? That's okay. Others can find all three to be shit, and while I'll definitely try and defend the films and act in their favor, I'm not going to try and tear down other people or rewrite history just to make my favorite films look good. Because despite being a much younger fan, I'm not a child. Not anymore. And from everything I've seen, the olds did it better.
Thanks for saying that.
Wish a lot more people could act with as much maturity as you do.
You’re not the only one who thinks Attack of the Clones is good. You’re not a fool at all. :)
they are extremely flawed but have heart and respect their own lore. also TPM has the best duel in all of star wars
The Prequels are not perfect...far from perfect.
But at least there is a reason why they exist...
The Sequels are just one of the most caotic and failed projects in cinema history.
And at least the prequels did not kill Star Wars
The original trilogy isn’t perfect either. The prequels were great
My favorite. Literal children telling me about the 80's or 90's with absolute certainty.
Literal infant.
Watched it when I was 10 years old and was the target demographic for them. Still felt off compared to the OT I was raised on.
Don't give the fans what they want and when they are unhappy, they are toxic.
It's the fans fault for noticing things. Can't they just turn off thier brains , shove popcorn in thier traps and look at the fancy CGI pew pews on screen?
@@BoleDaPole According to Disney it seems.
@@BoleDaPole Well, they managed it for Phantom Menace for several years...
Those real-life 90's high school students looked like fictional 90's high school students with everyone looking 10 years older than they should.
Just goes to show how much we degenerated due to lack of exercise and being addicted to the internet at a young age.
@@Lobsterwithinternetand puberty was still a thing.
@@badlaamaurukehu Are you saying kids no longer go through puberty?
That's so you can see them perform acts of sex and nudity without breaching any laws.
@@silencedmaxim5889 Have you not seen that Jacob guy? I'm sure some part of puberty has been lost (or at least significantly delayed) with the rise of smart devices + internet. Teenage irl social life is in massive decline, so is going out, drinking, sex, getting a driving licence, etc. The teenage usual desire for independance and getting away from authority figures (parents, teachers, etc) has never been so unpopular; if anything, they seek the opposite. Some of them can't even handle everyday small challenges and conflits.. they act like kids, crying on social media, because they can't handle different opinions or a student job. I was gonna say that sure, biologically, puberty still happens, but considering the western far-left has gaslit itself into believing that puberty blockers are totally okay for kids, I can't even truly state that now....
i was about 5 when i saw my first prequel movie. that was absolutely awesome, because my dad (at the time the bigger star wars fan) bought me everything related star wars. legos. toys. games. you name it, i eventually got a hold of it and had a blast with dad.
I'm 28 now. me and my dad reminisce about the "good old star wars" and now we hate on kathleen together. disney, it turns out DID strengthen our love for star wars.
You know. THE GOOD STAR WARS! Disney, ya bunch of knobs ruined it, and the "legends" universe, which you ended up TAKING BITS AND PIECES FROM WHEN IT WAS CONVENIENT.
But, i guess i'm a "toxic fan"
T4rrtt
I have the same exact relationship with my father. He introduced me to Star Wars when I was a kid and we both always shared our love for Star Wars. He took me to all the prequel’s in theater. Because of him I even joined the 501st. Nowadays we will both go on rants for hours on how terrible these new shows are and how Disney has completely shit the bed.
Honestly I am really annoyed that Disney just decided that the only stuff made for star wars that is canon are the 6 movies and the clone wars cartoon making all the comics and games noncanonical, part of what I really liked about The Force Unleashed when I played it was that it connected perfectly into episode IV without making any changes that would have a drastic effect overall, then Disney shows up and makes a show where Obi Wan leaves the child he’s supposed to protect to go on a random adventure with Leia because I guess they finally decided to make a show that doesn’t take place in the desert
Remember to ignore the social referees and censorship moderators online. They're just business people masquerading as humans with souls, guilt-tripping comedy that has always been told, except now with advanced tele-communications leaving them in the dust. Peace!
I had to check his twitter profile and bruv you were spot on, I like how he thinks he saw episode 1 when he was 1 and then remembered everything about it
That's the midichlorians talking.
Yeah u remember the civil war. Was a harrowing experience
Thank you for your deconstruction of this Jacob individual's article about the Phantom Menace and poor Jake Lloyd. Schizophrenia is an awful diagnosis and my heart goes out to him and his family. Wonderful to see his mom has common sense and a lot of love for her son.
As for 20 and early 30 something people trying to tell us how the '90s and early 2000s worked, 🙄🙄🙄. I miss those days so much! It must be several years older than you, but my memories are equally fond! 🙏🧡🍀
I was 9 when Phantom Menace came out and all I really remember was crying: Not because I hated the movie, but because I had to pee soooo bad but didnt want to miss any of it. hahahaha
Then I saw Attack and Revenge when they came out and quite frankly: no one really did care about the greatness of those movies back then, we just were Star Wars Fans who enjoyed seeing new Star Wars....the worst argument I remember having about the prequels were my friends who thought Darth Maul was Cooler than Vader....
The word toxic holds no meaning
Where did you find that footage of female fans giving their opinions on the TPM? I thought girls were excluded until 2015.
There have been female Star Wars fans since Star Wars Episode IV in 1977.🤨My grandmother was even a star wars fan in 1977. star wars is for everyone, btw there are literally women in star wars such as Princess Leia, Padmé Amidala, Mon Mothma, Ahsoka Tano and many more.🤨

Many flaws? how many is many exactly? try and name ten instead of sucking up to the online status quo you know....besides "JaR JaR iS AnNoYing" which is the weakest of sauce and not to mention completely subjective
I loved the phantom menace when it came out, and I’ll always have a fondness for it. It has some real iconic stuff and created some very enjoyable moments for me when I was a kid.
7:15 It’s very telling that jacob used the word “usually” to describe if the articles connect or support the argument. He didn’t say they “never,” or the “don’t,” something definitive, he said they “usually don’t” meaning that there are articles which do connect (support) to the argument and OP isn’t being dishonest. I’m sure if you look into it, most articles will support OP, and then shill articles won’t, but that’s because they used jacob’s tactics to do it.
I couldn't agree with Robot more than in this video. Thank you from a 40 yr old who peaked in highschool, knows what it was like to race home to the Answering machine to see who called for the location of the party that weekend, and was there for opening night in L.A. of Phantom Menace. I can only hope I haven't turned my teenagers into anything remotely close to what Jacob is. Thanks, Head.
The disney star wars sequels are so bad they make the prequels look like top tier star wars entertainment.. 😅
And yet the prequels suck.

I’m not gonna lie, I was listening to your video until you showed footage of the 90s and then I suddenly got transported back to those days. I graduated 1996 and when the Phantom Menace came out, I was 22. I remember standing in line for six hours just to get tickets two weeks in advance. And stood in line for about another three hours to get into the 12:01 showing. Good times!
Having standards for things…TOXIC!
To be fair having standards that are too high is toxic, but this bitch is crazy
Jacob is very clearly trying to paint a picture to rationalize his own toxicity.
For anecdotal evidence, my friends and I were all kids when the phantom menace came out and every single one of us adored it because of course we did, we were kids. It wasn’t until we were teenagers and revenge of the Sith came out that we actually started to realize the prequels sucked. And it wasn’t again till we were adults that we realized while they were individually bad, collectively, thematically, and ideologically as a whole were quite excellent.
revenge of the sith was really bad though, so of course that'd change your mind!
I adored rewatching the prequels all through my teens - I would skip the romance parts of Ep2, and crank up the speakers for the start of Ep3... ah good times
Personally I still think Episode 1 is the best self-contained story of the series, a blockade being stopped, fighting the first real Sith in ages, etc... A lot happened in that movie... It still has the best parody song summary too(Weird Al; Saga begins).
In a bubble that story just works as opposed to even episode 4 where they HAD to continue it.
@@doltBmBnah it’s great
Lol, Rick Worley showed that they don't suck.
The call out of the 26 y/o speaking to things he couldn't have experienced, saying "hate online" when the internet was still fully web 2.0, really got me. He's so clearly abusing his audience's lack of research or critical thought to posture himself as moral and righteous.
A 26 yrs old telling 12 yrs old events that you needed to (at least) be 30 yrs old to understand how it happened
Jacob, you may now unplug your wifi/ethernet, and sell your computers and mobile devices. Purchase a flip phone and touch some grass/water/sand. You have been excused and officially owned.
By today's social media standards I have been an old man already when TPM premiered. I cannot NOT see today's keyboard warriors other than aliens from another and completely bizarre planet.
Jake Lloyd just couldn't take the constant cyberbullying of "YOU'RE THE MAN NOW, DOG. YOU'RE THE MAN NOW, DOG."
That man child's face looks like it went through a Pixar Disney filter.
Shocker. Someone who wasn’t alive for something thinks they know everything about that subject. There’s something about his face. POW!
I remember we called and messaged everyone in the nineties, the internet wasnt really a thing. Also the Phantom Menace had tons of fan love and praise and news coverage on free to air tv was positive. The prequel hate came years later.
No, it was pretty immediate.
@@mgk2020 Yeah, I think everyone has forgotten how much vitriol there was around and toward Jake Lloyd... He sucked in the role 🤷♂I know there are interviews with him at conventions of people being like "I mean... c'mon... you weren't great in it." to his face.
Sites like Aint It Cool were extremely popular and influential for the time. TPM got a decent amount of complaints but most commenters overall gave Lucas a mulligan with heavy cope that he was setting up some grand narrative we were all too dumb to see
Prequel hate only started getting really big when they announced the title for AotC. I distinctly recall almost universal dislike and the bulk of the copium started to dissipate - almost vanishing entirely when AotC actually released. RotS actually won back some fans and the immediate post-prequel trilogy consensus was that the first two movies sucked but the third was about as good as Jedi
remember fax ?
I saw The Phantom Menace with a big group of my mechanical engineering class and hated it immediately. I thought Jar Jar Binks was designed to appeal to children more stupid than any I had ever met, and both Darth Maul and the pod racing scene felt like gratuitous toy advertisements. In those days, this intense disappointment was expressed internally as sadness over the loss of potential for an expansion of a wonderful film trilogy and the corruption of George Lucas's artistic integrity. There was no need to express this disappointment beyond a commitment to never pay to see a Star Wars film again, but if vitriol were to be spat, it would have been towards Lucas, not the actors playing his characters.
Ah, 1999, when I damn near went broke because my "fast" 56K dial-up modem had to connect to a log-on phone number that was a toll call.
It isn't just Disney Shills rewriting history, the entire entertainment industry is trying to rewrite it since they have no original talent to write anymore.
Something tells me it's because most writers and actors fail to have an actual background anymore. A lot of the greats probably spent at least a quarter of their lives not involved with the film industry meaning they had some real-world life lessons and scenarios to put on paper or in acting later down the road, but now it's more about nepotism where knowing the right people immediately gives you an entrance straight out of school or, in some cases, during school and until retirement. Hollyweirdos just literally cannot relate to the average American, much less the average non-American, when our gripes are about whether we'll still have a job next week they spend time making TikToks singing a song made by a long dead hypocrite
I miss the old times. Just about everything before 2018, but especially last century. I'm not even 20 right now, so I haven't experienced what most of you have at all, but it feels like I'm not allowed to enjoy anything anymore. Can't have friends because of the 2020s locking us away physically and mentally, can't go outside, and enjoy nature because we have over 200 years of humanity destroying our planet that falls on my generation's shoulders, everything is expensive, and culture has shifted to opress opinions more than ever in the last 60+ years because "its offensive" or "toxic."
Very true
I'm 48. Childhood in the '80s, adulthood starting in the early '90s. Damn, it was a fun, freewheeling time. I desperately miss the general laissez-faire attitude. Good times. It also makes me feel terrible for you younger folks. Society has become so manipulative and, most notably, oppressive in comparison. You won't be able to enjoy your youth as much as we did due to the brainwashed ideologues who've managed to crybully their way into our institutions. The modern Purity & Thought Police are far worse and more widespread than the Satanic Panickers and Censors of my youth ever could have been. By light years. I hope you guys continue to resist and rebuff them because their goal is to make you believe all their dogma and become just like them. I have faith you won't.
Yeah, and the next murican president might even be a giant orange manbaby who wants to cancel elections. It's really sad where we ended up. Giant crybabies rule the world...
Absolutely brutal video and I'm all in for it.
These wannabe-internet-famous ADULTS acting like spoiled brats, toy hoarders, and fans more virtuous than everyone else deserve nothing but ridicule.
But hey, gotta defend those poor multibillion corporations spewing subpar products, amiright?
I grew up watching the Prequels. I was 9 when Phantom Menace released, and loved Anakin because for me I related with him since I was around the same age. I knew nothing about the supposed "toxicity" towards the actor, and the internet wasn't a widely used thing at the time, especially by anyone I knew. It was only when I got older that people started sh*tting on the prequels, and I was attacked online by people for saying I loved them growing up.
As a 16 year old latino in 1999. I can corroborate it was fun 🎉and we didn't have main character syndrome as messed up as a now. We would bitchslap that main character.
If he's the main character I want to be an NPC 🙏
Fans by their very nature tend be fanatics, strong emotions and opinions comes with the territory. If they go around labeling them toxic that means they don't WANT fans, they want unfeeling, unthinking all-accepting consumers.
Yeah, a fan means they're passionate and thus will harshly criticize the thing they love. Adoring every single thing without saying anything negative is obsession, not being a fan
Good job on making me nostalgic for a time I wasn’t even alive. It sure looked like people were having the time of their lives in the 90s.
What did I do in highschool? A pure Gen Z loner.
I isolated myself from society by going “social” online instead of talking to people in real life. Playing video games and just thinking life was a chore.
Things were better before all this.
Mate, thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane. What a time that was, no phones, no mobile internet, no twitter. You go out watch a movie get back home before curfew. Grabing a bite after a movie and going over it with friends was the best thing.
when my older sister told me, "everyone hated the prequels when they came out. people will come around to the sequels too" I KNEW people were rewriting the past cause me and my bros LOVED the prequels. the sequels are literal propaganda like wtf
What people call ‘hating’ is what we called jokes.
Most people recognized the failures of the film and just had fun with it, making jokes and laughing about the dialogue.
It was the terminally online kids who grew up on the sequels who treated it like it was Citizen Kane who got pissy about their sacred horse being impinged and got into crazy rants about it and radicalized the discourse.

Glad to hear about the real reason behind Jake Lloyd. I'll admit, I'd fallen for the false narrative before the shills began really taking it over and feel better knowing the truth. His taste in the new material aside, I hope the best for Jake. Thanks for the education, Mr. Head.
I was on an e-group in 1999 and always remember a comment when people complained about the trilogy "It's not George Lucas' fault that you are not six years old any longer."
but it is his fault that the story is poorly written, he's the only credited writer
@@doltBmB a six year old would not say that.
@@doltBmB 6 year olds are not moved by good writing. Look at the trilogy through that lens and then it all starts to make sense.
@@MrMetalpunx star wars wasn't popular with six year olds, it's not teletubbies, it was popular with everyone
@@doltBmB lol lay off the crack.
Fictional memories from a one year old at the time. Pre social media. Trying to tell anyone about the year you were born as if you knew anything other than which tit to get a feed from is beyond idiotic. I was born in 1967, a year before 2001 opened, I can't tell anyone I have first hand knowledge of 1968, the year after my birth. This guy knows Jake better than Jakes own words or Jakes mother. An imaginary toxic fandon by dial up. This is real life not one of you're dreams where you're popular.
In the 90s when the cellphones became smaller, the first 3 seconds of the call were free, so we used to communicate within those first 3 seconds and hang up XD
Before cell phones became somewhat affordable the cool kids had beepers with gold chains.

Star Wars ended in 1983. And to be fair, the wheels were wobbling during Return of the Jedi. The prequels were at least George Lucas' vision.. They have legitimacy.. But it doesn't stop them from being so torrid they're borderline unwatchable. I won't begin to understand the nostalgic psychosis that grips the barmy prequel lovers, but my goodness me.. The Disney Star Wars defenders are next level mental!
Well put. Star Wars was really only 2.5 good movies.
39 years old. Yeah, the prequels got a lot of hate (that still exists today really and there's plenty of evidence of it), but what I hate is this notion that critique is inherently "toxic" and we somehow ruin actors lives. It's all so overdramatic. Lucas never attacked the fans, unlike many modern creators when the fans largely reject their film/show. And fans debated the prequels, for sure, on forums (the social media equivalent back then), but it was nothing like what it has become today.
Man, those Geocities web rings must've hit hard back in the day...
I think Lloyd deserves a happy life.
this video was so satisfying to listen to. Im 34 so this was directly my childhood, like I was even playing the pod racing video game and shit…and it is getting to be so damn nauseating watching Gen Z: A. become the first young generation to think that the lamest possible things are “cool” and, B. be so arrogant yet at the same time- so clueless to how the world used to be. If TikTok came out in the early 90s and you were to post a dance video or a Zoolander-esque thirst trap to the app, the following day at school, you would be ridiculed mercilessly by the entire school. It would’ve been so bad that you’d likely carry a complex with you for the rest of your life
It's strange to say it, but while bullying can obviously be taken too far, there is a social value to it. Boundaries keep people grounded.
I want to say as someone who was born in the early 2000s and grew up with a VHS collection of the 6 movies that not once did I ever pay enough attention to the credits to pick out the names of the people playing characters I didn’t like so I could complain about the actors, if I didn’t like a character I just didn’t think about them, even now I think about characters like JarJar maybe 2 times a year at most unless im actively playing one of the games or watching one of the movies, theres no way that people back in the 90s wouldve hated a child in a movie so much that they found out who played him and harassed him for playing a character he didn’t create
I was 20 when I saw TPM. When I came out of the cinema I thought it that film was significantly worse than ROTJ and was pinning my hopes on Episode 2.
It's been down hill all the way since....
I am 50 now and too old not too worry about anything that comes out from Hollywood. Infact I think it's somewhat opposite. When a film losses multiple millions...I kind of think it's funy
Huh? I was 22/23 that year and I’m 48 now.
And yeah. I dont go to the movies much anymore. Too bad. Go see the new Godzilla movie. Or rent it now I guess. It felt like a real movie.
Also I miss 90s girls😂😂😂
This guy knows what's up. 😁
@@NefariousKoel obviously so does this guy lmao
Don't we all? 😍🥰😘
Jacob was highly toxicity-sensitive. He could sense the disturbance before he even had the capacity to know what he was sensing. The boy's toxi-chlorian count was over 20,000.
I was 17 when phantom menace came out or a month away from being 17 anyway and it was pretty much exactly what you described for me. Went and saw it with friends and came out talking about it for a bit then immediately made plans to go see my future wife that same night. We didn't even have a computer in my house in 99.
Theres been a lot of revisionism in recent years about the prequels. I grew up with the prequels. I was too young to see Phantom Menace in theaters but i got to see Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. And let me tell you, everyone loved those movies. There was so much buzz and hype for each one. We would even watch Phantom Menace on VHS in friend groups. Sure, were there things we nitpicked? Yeah. But they were generally loved movies. The proof is in the pudding. All the games and toys that sold during prequels waa insane. And TFA wouldnt have had such hype if the Prequels left a bad taste in everyones mouth.
Eh, that's not entirely true--they were underwhelming compared to the originals, especially to the fans who had been waiting nearly 20 years for more. But yes, they were not hated anywhere near as much the crap we have now--they were decent, flawed films, not dumpster fires.
@@billjacobs521 yeah. But it was mainly the older people that hated them. Everyone who grew up with the prequels loved them. And a lot of the complaints were often silly stuff like "I don't like midichlorians" or "I don't like how it focused on the politics." It's hard to find actual criticism that isn't just whiny Karens. Obviously the love dialogue in AotC was corny though. That was the weakest film imo.
The Phantom Menace was an ILM computer animation project turned into a Star Wars movie.
Awesome video as always! Crazy how they're always trying to flip the script and rewrite history
Evil conservative retired law enforcement officer here. Jake also liked to ingest non fda approved pharmaceuticals AND fda approved pharmaceuticals. I have seen his behavior and parents covering for that behavior for 23 years.
Interesting.
No one edits like Robot Head.
Hate to be that guy, but RLM review of TPM came out in 2009. I dont know if that 2012 date was a re-upload, but i distintcly remember being in my last year of uni when it came out which wouldve been 09-10.
I think they reuploaded it as one full video in 2012. UA-cam had much stricter time limits in 2009 so they originally uploaded the review in multiple parts. I think it was 5 or 6 separate videos if I remember correctly.
The best thing about Disney Star Wars and its defenders is that they are becoming less and less relevant as the property continues its decline into cultural obscurity.
So Jake Lloyd's schizophrenia runs in the family, and it wasn't from all the hate the Prequels got.
This video made me miss the 90s. What a golden age of culture and fun. I didnt have a mobile. I had a pager 😆
Shame about the Phantom Menace. We were all caught up in the hype. It turned out to be a bit shit, but it was just a movie. I didn't rush to see the next episodes.
Yep.
hope to see some Clone Wars 2008-2012 content mate
The moment Jacob mentioned "Online" I almost lost my eyeballs from rolling into the back of my head.
Wow, yeah, this is one of the things that was just repeated until everyone believed it.
Ya, these idiots have A LOT to learn... with life in general.
Any criticisms the TPM got were earned. Jar jar was a biologic version of CP30 but worse, and Jake had nothing much to worry about, his older self replacement was actually worse.... It didn't help that the dialogue was just a tad weak. Jake did ok with what it was he had to do and I hope he pulls through his current setback.
This guy (already forgot his name), whomever he thinks he is, should just get off TWITter (X, whatever), there's a life out there he should expose himself to as the supertweeter he thinks he is, he's certainly not.
Jar Jar was written for children and children loved him.
The only argument ive ever heard against Jar Jar is a subjective one which is that he was so annoying he apparently ruined the movie
.........and those came from "adults" who thought that "criticism" would say more about the movie and not themselves
@@anomalyinc3239As a child at the time of watching TPM, I didn't like him and thought he was insipid.
Like if a birthday clown showed up on the set of Die Hard.
@@Lobsterwithinternet ........see the fact that youre comparing star wars to die hard tells me theres something very wrong with you
Star Wars was always aimmed at children it was inspired by flash gordon for god sake just because it has mature moments throughout does not mean its aimmed at adults its just means that an adult can still relate to the movie on some level
And fine you as a child couldn't stsnd 2 minutes of Jar Jar antics you are firmly in the minority then
Ya, whatever. I didn't like the character and I don't give 2 shits about why he was written in. I was a kid when the OT came out so that worked. The majority of the fanbase at the time of TPM, was people much like myself.... George forgot that.
It was a stupid character, regardless of the demographic they were written for, and you lot, your opinion really doesn't matter to myself or the rest of the ACTUAL fanbase.
Piss. Off.
@@anomalyinc3239 Great, then why introduce a complex topic like the taxation of trade routes and political machinations into a simple kids' movie? Especially when it goes over the head of most adults, never mind the intended audience of 8-year-olds. It creates tonal whiplash when you go from violent deaths to wacky cartoon hijinks. It's the reason why I brought up Due Hard as Jar Jar fits into this story as well a birthday clown in Die Hard.
Then can you show me where the majority of children actually liked Jar Jar? Because I get told by people like yourself that Jar Jar was some beloved children’s character when I've never heard a single child who watched TPM on release who thought he was funny or great. He's the equivalent of Booster from Jingle All The Way.
Hi Robot Head - commenting for the YT-Algorithm to push this channel
Thank you. And I too will reply for the YT-Algorithm. I need all the help I can get 👍
@@RobotHead Here's some help you can get.
This is my reply.
I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. This kid is totally clueless. There was no online presence, and the only way you met other people as part of a fandom was at school, comic book shops, or conventions! And as someone who actually participated in all of these activities I never met anyone that I would consider “toxic”. Sure there were people who didn’t like the prequels, just like there are people out there that don’t like Star wars at all, but no one was tracking down the actors addresses to send them hate mail or getting phone numbers to harass them. If there was it was crazy stalkers, like the ones we have today going after Taylor Swift or Halsey. This whole social media generation have no idea what life was like before Facebook. They are literally delusional!🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Red Tails ain't great but it make more sense when you remember what kind of movies George makes. He doesn't do gritty war movies. He does classic war movies and Red Tails takes a lot of inspiration from classic war movies. It's far more fun if you go in expecting a cheesy movie. Watch Memphis Bell before it or The Tuskegee Airmen right before this and it'll feel right at home. You can't go from Saving Private Ryan to Red Tails. It's just not the same kind of war movie.
Glad to hear Jake is doing well, that he still loves star wars and his mother cleared up certain narratives surrounding his mental health.
But Jake Lloyd was bullied at school relentlessly in the years after The Phantom Menace released and that undoubtedly made his mental health worse
Im quite honestly surprised that his parents knew about genetic mental illness in their family and still pushed him into acting at such a young age.
As for "rewriting the 90s" the prequel hate bandwagon online in the late 2000s tried rewriting it first by saying the movies were "always hated" and now these double standard shills are playing the same game playing the "toxic fan" card when back in the 2000s they were the same ones making Jakes life at school "A living hell" according to him
Tell it like it is, man.
@@tyrannozilla I always do
Oh hello you
So you not only ignored the video and the article but you ignored Jake Loyd’s own words.
Par for the course from you guys. Not even surprised anymore.
@@Lobsterwithinternet it was his mother's words you knob
Are you sure you watched the video? read the article? or understood the prequels?
yeah i thought not
Roger Ebert was wrong. I can’t quote a line from any of the prequels WITHOUT smiling. Favorite prequel quotes in the comments that make you smile just saying them out loud.
😅 Very True

Saw Star Wars in a cinema in '77. Heres my 2 cents - Saw Phantom first midnight opening screening in Oz. Yes, there was a bit of backlash by a subset of OG fans that were not happy. Some cited Jar-Jar, many didnt like nor understand all the political stuff. Trade federation, taxes, embargoes etc. We did indeed have many film websites and forums that were equivalent to 'social media'. That said, I don't believe the detractors were 'toxic' by any stretch. They believed they had genuine concerns and voiced those concerns. As an older person, I actually look back and the prequels and enjoy them. Many people were indeed put off by the prequels not being a 'rising hero' story, but the complete opposite - a fall from grace. The prequels are a cautionary tale. -see The People VS George Lucas documentary for a good rundown on the era of release and some of its reception.
i think it's funny how the same people that complain about "toxic fans" come to watch and give a thumbs down to every robot head video
I've always loved the prequels un-ironically and didn't only start to like them because it became "cool" to do so. Even when RLM's videos started to come out, and other people started to repeat his arguments, I felt that the criticisms were overblown and shallow. It's nice, by the way, to see people finally realizing that RLM and the People vs. documentary were filled with biased takes and made up evidence to make themselves appear superior.
That being said, I never wasted my time commenting on these people and calling them toxic. I just thought that they had bad takes and went on enjoying the films. Could the prequels have been better at times? Sure, but they were far from terrible, imo, and still felt like Star Wars.
P.S. I hope you continue reviewing Andor, as that show still deserves a good ass-beating.
You think it's cool to like the prequels? And you don't like Andor?
the prequels were good but not as good as the original trilogy some of the best movies ever
Yes, because at least the prequels still have that feeling of a mythological tale while Andor's been trying to turn Star Wars into something it's not. Now, I know that Star Wars has always had dark storylines (Darth Bane) but those still felt like I was reading something told from another galaxy and not just from people on Earth. That's what Andor feels like to me, just a sci-fi show that could've been set on Earth, but with a cheap/fake Star Wars skin on it.@@curtisspriggs2189
Could the prequels have been better at points? Sure, but there's a lot of the lore from them that I enjoy more than the OT. Don't get me wrong, I love the OT (New Hope is my favorite of the six films), but the PT felt like they added more depth to the galaxy.@@belstar1128
You mean after that embarrassing video he made of the first couple episodes of Andor that he got reamed over?
Sure.
Still disagree with Ebert's take on Attack of The Clones and more in line with Roeper's, but I'm not gonna jump on the shill bandwagon and call him toxic.
I just liked the film more than he did.
Yeah, Ebert wasn't toxic. He gave positive reviews for Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith. He gave them both 3.5/4 stars.
That's the important distinction. So many 'fans' these days can't handle people having different opinions to themselves and resort to name calling and acting like victims of the 'toxic fanbase'. People are completely allowed to criticise a film or tv show they don't like and shouldn't be expected to blindly love anything with the label 'Star Wars' on it simply because they are Star Wars fans
True. I still love the prequels un-ironically, and have many arguments to defend them, but I can't defend most (if not all) of Disney's garbage. As much as I disagree with RH about the prequels, I'd rather hang out with him over someone like Jacob.@@danielloader3351
I'll never apologize for enjoying Attack of the Clones
(yes, the romance segment is very clunky and hard to watch)
@@danielloader3351 it's absurd the amount of name-calling you receive for sharing your thoughts on anything Disney Star Wars related.
"If you don't like the sequel trilogy, then you're a sexist."
"If you don't like Disney Star Wars, then you're a racist."
Stuff like that is stupid to hear from diehard Disney Star Wars fans.
i'm surprised you didn't bring up how most households didn't even have internet access in 1999, let alone a home computer just yet. lack of social media obviously applies too, but still
We didn't get our first home computer with net access until 2001/2002. Me and my first GF bought our first mobile phones in 99 so we didn't have to use our parents house phones to arrange some 'Naughty time'. Yes,in 99 we didn't care about the internet, just going out and having fun.
I've had arguments with people who like the sequels and they all come off as very dumb and ignorant people. So not surprising that they can't accept they were wrong.
90's and 2000's are the best years for entertainment. Music, movies and games. Free from woke garbage and predatory monetisation. Just good fun.
You can't spell Disney without "Sin" and "DEI." These things combined gave us the mysterious 'modern audience.'
The "perhaps we can find them in some alternate reality" modern audience.
I think they're combining the stories of Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best into a convenient narrative.
Most of the "prequel hate" was directed at Hayden anyway, who was also part of this narrative because he retired to a farm in the Toronto area... But with his return and his obvious love for the franchise, that narrative has faded. He knows he got typecast, he just loved being able to do it.
Jacob is what happens when we teach kids that it’s ok to bring your stuffy to High School graduation because the only thing that really matters is how you feel.
