    The conversation about sand shows the difference in how Anakin and Padme grew up.
    To Padme, sand is no different then what you find on the beach on a beautiful day. To Anakin, sand represents nothing but his terrible childhood, he knows nothing positive of it.

      That line basically holds Anakin's life-long trauma of living in harsh conditions on Tatooine

      @@hedinsee6830 The Force... has a Will of its own, independent of the Jedi and also of the Sith:
      - Why was Anakin immaculately conceived in the outer rim territories, where the Jedi wouldn't find him until it was "too late" (too late to prevent him from forming attachments?) ...Because that was what The Force wanted all along - a rogue Jedi, uniquely powerful while also uniquely vulnerable to love, attachment and to emotional manipulation in a way that no other Jedi was - bait for Palpatine!
      - Padme, in eps I and in the first part of ep II, is presented as a serious young woman, living in incredibly dangerous times. How much sense does it make that she would decide to go not only into seclusion, but also to incredibly romantic settings, and wear unusually seductive clothing in front of her bodyguard/ chaperone (Anakin)... it would be the opposite of common sense. But it would make perfect sense if the Force were influencing her (and maybe him), to get a pre-arranged outcome.
      - We knew that the Sandpeople were dangerous, but the only time we ever hear of them raiding a human moisture farm, is when Shmi is kidnapped. Why kidnap and hold a human? It can't be for money, as the moisture farmers have none, and also, the Sandpeople are pre-money... on a level somewhere between chimps and humans. But, their taking Shmi would make perfect sense, if the Force needed a pre-arranged outcome (Anakin losing his mom, setting up his all-consuming obsession with not losing Padme...)
      (Edit - additional - )
      - Why did the Jedi not return to Tatooine and free Shmi Skywalker immediately after the events of Episode I ? That they would NOT do this for Anakin - one of their own - makes the Jedi seem incredibly indifferent and cruel. (If they were worried about Anakin's continued attachment to his mom, they could have freed her, under the condition that she'd agree to stay away from Anakin.) ...But, this confusing, inexplicably cruel inaction on the part of the Jedi, would make perfect sense if their judgement were being manipulated by the Force, which - once again - needed Shmi to remain in place, as a slave, on Tatooine, so that a pre-arranged outcome would occur.

    Great reaction! I also believe Ani is thinking of Padme when they are in the field and he is talking about a wise, powerful figure who makes all the decisions for a government. He has more faith in Padme than in anyone else. In fact, I think he is specifically basing his view on ideal leadership/politics on Padme's actions and what he witnessed during Episode I- his first exposure to any sort of politics beyond the brute force of slavery. After facing the corruption and impotency of the Senate on Coruscant, Padme unilaterally took control of the situation Naboo was in; doing what she thought was best, in the way she wanted, coming up with all the plans, and she saved her world and people. There was little to no discussion or negotiation, just action and decisiveness.

They're actually prime ministers or presidents with term limits, the Naboo just kept kings and queens as titles for the position. I can't remember why but I do know it's explained in the novel Darth Plagueis (completely recommend by the way especially the audiobook).

And of course you'll see how it plays out

  • @passionsquietrage

    I love that each Jedi/Sith in these movies has their own fighting style. Like Dooku, for example, uses a classic more formal fencing style of lightsaber combat(which is he why he did the dueling salute). His saber hilt is also a (sick) curved design to fit this style. Also, the sand line isn't a bad pick up line or cringe in any way. It was written to show the difference between them, sand reminds her of vacation while it reminds him of nothing but trauma and suffering. I don't see why people had an issue with it. And the clone troopers and stormtroopers aren't the same thing, except in the early days of the empire. Eventually, stormtroopers were either forced to join the Imperial Army or were like "Empire F*ck Yeah!!!" One last thing, the sonic charge is the COOLEST sound effect in all of Star Wars!

    The thing with Anakin and Padme's relationship is it's not meant to be an ideal one, or even a HEALTHY one for that matter. It's two people from massively different upbringings who both have zero experience with intimacy because of it. One was raised as a slave with no agency of his own, and the other was forced to become the ruler of a planet when she was barely a teenager.

    Jedi are taken at infancy when they discovered as Force sensitive. The parents are given a choice to relinquish them to the Jedi Order, but it is so the infants don’t form attachments to their birth parents if they are accepted, as it is a path to the Dark Side if that attachment is at risk of being lost. That is why Anakin was initially accepted into the Order when brought by Qui-Gon. Even if his mother was freed, she would not be able to go with Anakin when he became a Jedi, and Anakin would still end up in the same emotional state. Qui-Gon did say being a Jedi is a hard life.

    • @thomasjoychild4962
      @thomasjoychild4962 3 місяці тому +1

      It's also worth noting that the Jedi are currently going through a particularly puritanical interpretation-of-the-code period. They've gone back and forth a bit over their history, but there have absolutely been times when their interpretation was about accepting your emotions without being ruled by them rather than striving to not feel in the first place. Even in the prequels, it's clearly okay and even encouraged to care about your comrades and your padawan and to nurture the younglings in your care, though.
      At one point, about 3500ish years before the movies, the jedi order had a Grand Master (Yoda's position in the prequels) who openly-ish had an adult son from a brief relationship in her youth. She hadn't raised him herself and they didn't have a parent-child relationship in the present, but he had her surname and they'd both acknowledge being related if asked. Romance and children were still very much Not Okay for jedi then, but nobody in the order ever mentions the grand master's son as an indicator that she, now, is of questionable merit to hold her position.

    It really helps understanding the Jedi by learning about the real-world philosophies that inspired them. There are aesthetic and stylistic influences from a LOT of things, but the actual teachings are most influenced by Buddhism (east) and Stoicism (west). Most people misunderstand what 'attachment' means and what it doesn't, and they also mistake Jedi as being about emotionlessness - while they are actually about compassion and you can see great examples of what they mean in Qui-Gon and Yoda, and how they treat others, care about things, etc - but without being controlled by or destroyed by emotion. Jedi powers are SO strong that, to not have a disciplined approach to feelings, it can lead to great evils (just watch "The Boys" for what the Jedi would be like without these strict rules).

    • @a_fine_edition2746
      @a_fine_edition2746 3 місяці тому +5

      This is exactly what should be focused on more in my opinion. Jedi and people who wield the Force have a much greater responsibility to master themselves and not let their desires and feelings run rampant, or else they doom those around them to more suffering. The Dark Side is a far more present entity in their lives because they can access and tap into it much easier than most. This is the tragedy of Anakin. He couldn't find it in himself to let go of what he was attached to.
      Yoda has always been one of my favorite Jedi because of the clear compassion you see from him, particularly in this movie. I never really noticed, but I think this film might honestly be Yoda at some of his best. He is wise, witty, and full of charm in this first half alone.

    Something worth noting is that prior to the release of the Prequels, the idea of the Jedi being forbidden from having attachments wasn't known to anyone but Lucas. So you've got lots of stories by other creators in the old Expanded Universe/Legends continuity, where Jedi got married, had kids etc. Some of those same stories also hinted at the clones being the enemies of the Republic, so those of us who were kids growing up taking all of those stories as more or less gospel (so naive we were) we in for a bit of a rude awakening. One of the things that helped contribute to the rocky reception to the Prequals received I think.
    Also the dialogue. To quote Harrison Ford, "you can write this **** but you can't SAY it!"

    Anakin saying he doesn't like sand makes sense as it reminds him of growing up as a slave on tatooine. The delivery of the line and the cringy nature of Anakins dialog is also intentional as he literally has no people skills and does not know how to talk to women after being immediately recruited as a jedi after ep1 and with how strict the order is on emotional attachments, they definitely would refrain from teaching him how to speak to women in fear of him developing attachments.

    Jango Fett is NOT a clone. The clones didn't infiltrate anything.
    Sifo Dias is actually who ordered the Clone Army and he was killed before he told the Jedi Order. Clones are not Storm Troopers, between Episode 3 and 4 the Empire executes all the Clones and switches to Storm Troopers which are not anywhere near as effective.
    Shmi was freed because her husband chose to. He chose to deactivate her device that would blow her up and married her out of love. And again, if they had taken her with Anakin, Watto would have blown her up. They physically COULD NOT free her then.
    The only Jedi with knowledge of their parents is Anakin. All Jedi before Anakin were taken from their parents as soon as it was apparent they were force sensitive, before they would have any memories of them. To a Jedi their only family is the Jedi Order. Luke is the oldest to be a Padawan and he didn't remember his mother at all so the same applies to him. Though his uncle was like a father to him.
