Here's everything right with Star Wars Ep 3 Revenge of The Sith plus a theory about what actually happens to Padme.

If what you have told me is true, you will gained my trust
The siths flaw is arrogance
The Jedi's flaw is ignorance
...those flaws are inherent to both ideologies.
The Jedi's arrogance is what lead to the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire.
DerpyWeavilePlays you know, that kinda reminds me of liberals and conservatives

Hmm...
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering"
Episode 1: Anakin is full of fear
Episode 2: Anakin is overcome by anger when his Mother dies.
Episode 3: Anakin gives into hate...
...and becomes Vader, a man who is in a constant state of suffering.
Awesome
He gives into hate but I feel like he was playing Sidious because like Anakin said in the Mustafar scene, he was going to overthrow the Emperor. Also, he wanted to rule the galaxy, but that doesn't matter because he kinda wanted to do it to save Padme 'cause why rule a galaxy when you don't have your Queen?
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
@@DoctorWhoKage like how he’s a Jedi Anakin is a real Sith though he’s much better at being a Sith it’s cute how he wanted to take over the galaxy with his family
yeah we watched the movies man. not a hard concept to grasp.
And this film's soundtrack is one of the biggest musical wins of all time. Williams at his absolute best.
It may not be the best Star Wars movie, or even that good of a movie, but no matter what the soundtrack is sublime.

Exactly.
That’s a fact. A perfect movie.
Only problem is anakin and padme
I’d say it was my favorite, buts it’s my second. I think Rise of Skywalker best (Don’t judge me. I like that one.)
Edit: I CHANGED MY OPINION PLEASE STOP HATING ON ME
Yes
Can we also talk about how Anakin is dual wielding a blue and a red lightsaber when making the decision to kill Dooku? More visual exposition displaying how torn he is between light and dark.
Maybe a coincidence, but if it was, he probably would used only his blue lightsaber, because that's enough
Toäster Bäth I read this as soon as he winned it.
Or maybe a connection to the grey Jedi, the ones who use both dark and light side like mace Windu
aaron king Mace Windu uses both sides of the force but leans farther into the light not both equally.
aaron king the grey Jedi are more than just users of light and dark. I wouldn’t consider Windu grey. Qui-Gon... perhaps.

Honestly, anakin’s downfall still makes me incredibly sad.
I'm watching the clone wars with my girlfriend (her first time viewing) and she said after season one "wow that makes anakins turn to the dark side even more sad, he has so much compassion"
@@Pickendi I just finished the Clone Wars for the first time and as I was watching I thought the same thing. I just rewatched RotS and I remember how before on my first watch his turn to the dark side wasn't as impactful for me. Watching it again after knowing what happens during the clone wars instantly changes how I feel about it. **Clone War Spoilers** Especially the episodes where Anakin is shown his future and we hear Obi-wan say he thought of Anakin as a brother. They brought a tear to my eye, the love between those two and the pain and fear it would take for Anakin to believe he betrayed him.
@@Nova-ru5mm it certainly puts anakin's emotions in RotS into perspective and as you said, more impactful
And the heartbreak in Obi-Wan... just gets me every time
I have seen rots + tcw million times but everytime i hope anakin wouldn't turn then i end up crying like a lil bitch
19:16 he mentions about how different Anakin’s life would’ve been had Qui Gon lived. A lot of people don’t seem to realize that Qui Gon and Obi Wan’s fight with Maul was never about simply defeating the a Sith Lord and saving Naboo. It was about Anakin. His entire future, his mentor, his ideals, hinges on who wins the fight. One might even say it’s not a duel in the conventional sense but rather… a duel of the fates.
Even you didn't really say what the true meaning of the fight was. It didn't only change Anakins life for ever, but by that also the whole galaxy. Every single person in the whole Star Wars Universe would have had a different life if Qui Gon didn't die. But mostly the Jedi, Anakin, Padmé and Sidious of course.
Another idea of this that I can expand to the trilogy, from the duel of the fates through the rest of the trilogy, the Jedi are only able to win in the short-term. Yea they killed Maul, but Palpatine already had Dooku groomed and ready to go when Maul died, so congratulations, you have cut the head off the Hydra, just for another one to take its place. Even then, as revealed in the clone wars, they didn't really even kill Maul, since he shows back up later. Fast forward a bit, The republic technically won the battle of Geonosis, but Dooku still escaped, as did the death star plans, and now on top of that the galaxy is a in civil war. Fast forward further, the clone wars have ended, but all the manipulation of the dark side and barely winning caught up with the Jedi. In all these cases the Jedi only solved the short term problem, where the dark side took all the long term victories. In this example specifically, the dark side won the duel of the fates. Maul was defeated yea, but again he didn't die, and now Qui'gon Jinn, the master Anakin needed, is dead, so the galaxy is given the dark fate.

That’s kinda the point of being a Sith Lord.

Yo dawg...
Obiwan's defensive form against Anakin is called "Soresu". This form was designed for Jedi to protect themselves by not trying to strike back, but block any attacks by the opponent. Very nice use of movements by Obiwan.
Also what he used against grevious
Iirc, Soresu is Obi-Wan's specialty whereas Anakin's specialty is a fighting style that is suited to quickly overpower their opponent. (I don't know it's name off the top of my head)
@@Ash-Bun Anakin uses Form V which has two variants Shien/Djem So and Anakin specialized is the latter variant throughout the Clone Wars
I'm glad this comment was already made, it's absolutely brilliant that they actually had obi wan fight in the defensive form, something that was his specialty.
then add it sicne the two fought side by side and l9ikely some training earlier Obiwan those Anakin's moves and style so also gave him an edge

When you add the story of the clone wars TV show, Revenge of the Sith manages to become one of the best star wars movies
Clone wars show adds so much depth to the whole prequel trilogy. It’s a must watch for Star Wars fans
The best movie
Unpopular opinion, but Revenge of the Sith doesn't need the Clone Wars tv show to shine. If anything, it detracts from it.
Yes but if a movie needs a full TV series to flesh out then it didn't do an excellent job. Not saying ROTS is bad, it's just Lucas' visions really can't be crammed into just 3 films.
@@zef9151 ok people need to stop saying this, it’s not a “prequels needed clone wars”, the truth is that they’re supposed to coincide with each other. We see the important stuff in the trilogy, and the fleshing out in the clone wars. Stop saying they are different forms of media, they’re the same story, and they’re supposed to be the same story
In the vader’s mask scene, if you listen closely you can actually hear Anakin saying ”Padme help me” before the mask closes in. Just incredible

Thomas Parry I didn’t even think about it like that! Great point
Though I don't disagree with the analysis of what made Anakin choke out Padme (the lust for power becoming overwhelming), I think it's also partly his lashing out at her for rejecting everything he did for her.
Anakin realizes what he's done has been beyond the pale; there's truly no going back. He's destroyed the jedi, killed children, and completely turned the Republic on its head. All for her, all to keep her from dying. On top of that, he now has the power to reject anyone who was telling him he couldn't be with her. He can shape the world the way he wants it and no jedi will try to kick him out of the order for being in love or feeling emotions. Padme is finally safe and their ideal world will come as a result of all the evil Anakin had to do to get there.
Then however, she rejects it all. She says they should run away together, leave all of it behind. This is aggravating enough as it is, since Anakin is already trying to tell her they don't have to run or hide anymore. He doesn't want to have to reflect on what he's done to get to this point. He doesn't want to hide from it, he wants to revel in the victory that's come of turning and destroying the jedi, but Padme doesn't want it. Then Anakin starts to believe Obi-Wan is behind her convictions and when he steps out of the ship it confirms in his mind that she never planned to side with him. All the work he'd put in to save her, she throws away, makes it all for nothing. The one person he threw his life away for he's lost because of Obi-Wan. With all things Anakin had done throughout the series, he lashes out in anger.
I mostly put that out there because I remember a snide comment saying that Anakin choking Padme was out of character and stupid, but given everything that happens in Revenge of the Sith alone, I think it's completely within character for Anakin to snap and do something so stupid for all the reasons I mentioned.
Also just before he chokes her he calls her a liar- he wants her to stop talking.
And the most brute force way to stop someone from talking? Close their throat.
I never thought of it this way, I just thought of it as what the other reply said, he wanted her to just shut up and the best way to do it is to just shut their wind pipe
Totally agree with this analysis. Anakin holds her and their love as the most important thing in his world and in that moment, thinking she was conniving with Obi-Wan all this time, he must’ve snapped.
Another point, that “stupid” move wasn’t out of character because it could be argued that the decisions Anakin has been making the whole movie wasn’t all that wise anyway. lol
(before anyone argues, yes, I know Anakin has been through years of manipulation and his nightmares might have been Sidious’ doing and to fall for that isn’t stupid as much as it is tragic, but let me ignore that for this joke :P)
Choking out Padme when confronted with his shattering dreams for their future is TOTALLY IN CHARACTER FOR HIM MAN people get too hung up on Hayden Christensen's wooden acting from the previous film
Actually "dreams" was the wrong word, more like "the basket in which all his eggs are now left in"
I always loved the "leave him or we'll never make it" line and I remember everybody in the theater loving it. It showed us that even Palpatine knew Obi-Wan's importance and wanted him out of the way for good.
Yep
Palpatine told Dooku the plan was for Dooku to kill Obi-Wan and let himself get captured by Anakin... and the entire battle against Grievious (with Boga literally jumping in from of a cannon for her friend Obi-Wan in Order 66!) was just a trap designed so that even just by springing it (his policy on traps), he had already lost by not being there when Anakin, upon learning his father figure was a Sith and desperate for a cure, needed him most, he wasn't there

Another reason people might overlook anakins turn, saying it’s ‘quick’ is that they haven’t watched the clone wars, there’s so many times they show his distrust in the council growing
They say it's quick because they don't take in consideration Episodes I and II
Could also watch padmé. She is pregnant and at the beginning she isn’t showing. Near the end, she is definitely showing and is close. That’s several months in the movie.
This, this is why I love ROTS. The story comes full circle, and Anakin's fall is believable and real. And there are no real good guys, and not even real bad guys, not even Palpatine. Everyone, including Anakin, is at fault.
What about Padme?
@Jack the smol tangerine she seems to be on top of things
The Siege of Mandalore in Clone Wars makes this movie even better
It enhances everything about ROTS wonderfully. Indeed it intensifies the tragedy of Anakin's fall to a level I have never experienced before. He became my favourite character in Star Wars because of The Clone Wars! It feels like a physical pain to see such a strong, heroic, charismatic person with good intentions, deceived into serving the enemy by trying to protect his loved ones from the future. Eventually turning into the biggest villian the galaxy has ever known. 💔 😭
Very true
Best of Star Wars. Hands down. Maul was perfect as he finally realized that Palpatine had to be stopped and Ahsoka grew up. When she was introduced she was an annoying child. Season 7 is where she became an adult and a Jedi Knight. Order 66 was still heartbreaking and still made me cry. It also was the best looking season of Star Wars and the most mature. I need more like the Clone Wars.
@@dianamaioru497 While I agree that Clone Wars enhances just about anything it touches, including Episode III, it is a bit jarring to me that Padme doesn't tell Anakin that she is pregnant, until about a week before she is due.
Seriously, she tells him after the battle over Coruscant, and if I follow Clone Wars, it would be logical to assume that the arc only takes about a week at most, ending with Order 66. That would mean that Padme wouldn't even be visibly pregnant with TWINS until a week before she gives birth.
I disagree. Revenge of the Sith actually made the Clone Wars series even better.

Hello there
One of the coolest things for me is how it re-contextualizes the fight between Obi Wan and Vader in IV.
There’s no flashy spinning, flipping or clashing. They already did that and Obi Wan won. Obi Wan is too old for it now, and Vader is cautious, learning from his previous defeat. It’s simple feints and blocks, much more like two skilled fencers who have the measure of each other and it adds a whole new level of enjoyment to the original scene (which is made even better by seeing what full-power Vader is capable of in final scene of Rogue One)
My big problem with all of that is that Obi-wan isn't even 60 by the time of A new hope. He wouldn't have been too old. Dooku was older both times he fought Obi-wan and Anakin.
i mean, sure, but that fight still sucks lol, look up the reimagined version (not canon tho)
"Hello There" has become my favorite phrase as a result of this movie.
10/10, would watch again every week

Hello there.
@@spider-boy5498 general Kenobi!
I feel like people complaining about Anakin not just over powering Kenobi don't know that Kenobi specializes in a defensive form of lightsaber dueling in which he defends until his opponent makes a mistake. Not to mention he trained and fought with Anakin all through the clone wars. If anyone is going to be able to consistently defend against Anakin it's going to be Kenobi.
It even goes as far as Kenobi being considered THE master of said defensive form of lightsaber duelling.
He was also clearly losing that fight, since he was giving it his all to counterattack the fight, while Anakin barely breaks a sweat.
Also, obi wan was a master very in tune with the force by the time of the duel, while anakins lack of experience, comparatively, and weaker relationship with the force made him weaker than he could have been. Even much weaker than his potential, obi wan is barely up to fighting him.
KENOBIIIIIIIII!
@@that1guy324 Exactly, the only reason Obi Wan won was because Anakin was overconfident and let his rage and hatred make him sloppy.
This movie was so much more complex than people seem to think.
SarcasticDragon Gaming Just poor presentation.
That was actually the problem(great thing?) for the entire prequel trilogy.
It was never about what was shown at face value but all part of overarching plans and small details that turned out to be important but not elaborated on and relationships between people that weren't always spelled out.
They are movies you really have to pay attention to, to appreciate them.
Kusko25 You're right. Most intelligent people I know love the PT and they become the Star Wars fans that learn all the trivia and the whole story. The dumb people just cry about OT and want 2 hours of films and no more. Their brain can't take more than that ;)
Oh yes. Matter of fact, Revenge of the Sith was my favorite in the Saga for a long time. Part of that was the excellent novelization by Matthew Stover (if I have it right) that really highlighted the struggle within Anakin.
+Will Waterman Yes because a young Darth Vader ranting about sand and looking like a creep at the same time is so intelligent.
The whole trilogy is such a brilliant monument to how much Sidious really *deserved* to be Emperor. Masterful at every step! Aside from that, Anakin always breaks my heart, and the pre-battle debate with Obi-Wan where he starts pacing like an agitated lion is just *such* a moment.

DaHTrain 24 awful dialogue, bad cgi, over the top and stupid fight scenes, bad acting, weird and confusing things happened for the plot, and the many many hilarious stuff like I have the high ground or it’s treason then
+@@colinschmitt6571
Let's see now...
"awful dialogue"?
It was present in the originals as well. Can't criticize prequels for it, without mentioning it in originals, too.
"bad cgi"
Did you watch the video? The cgi is actually awesome, and holds up very well even today. Phenomenal for it's time.
"over the top and stupid fight scenes"
Which ones? Because none of them were over the top. These movies are showing the Force Users in their prime, at the height of their ability. It's expected, that they are able to do amazing feats. Each and every fight was amazingly choreographed and had actual meaning to the story. How again, were they "over the top" or "stupid"?
"bad acting"
Where? By whom? And again - look at Carry Fisher's performance in originals. Worse than anything in prequels.
""confusing things happened for the plot"
Again, where? What was confusing?
"and the many many hilarious stuff like I have the high ground or it’s treason then"
The high ground actually did give Obi Wan a slight advantage, though it was not an automatic win. However, mainly, Obi Wan was goading Anakin at that point. Obi Wan had the experience of dealing with Maul, he knew this situation as well (the situation of the high ground AND the way sith operate).
And what's funny about the "it's treason then" line? It fits just fine.
AmIgOltu just because it’s in the originals doesn’t justify it, Hayden Christianson Natalie Portman, the guy who played Palpatine, the cgi was ok in the third but when I said cgi I meant the first and second, confusing things in the plot means why does anikin go from crying about his girlfriend dying to tossing that bitch, and treason then is one of the stupidest scenes I have ever seen, like what was that noise and jump, also how do 4 Jedi masters die in 3 seconds, over the top fight scenes the one I just mentioned, Obi wan vs grievous, Obi wan be aniakn
I don't hate but I don't like it because Anikin was my fav and I hate to see him turn dark.
+@@colinschmitt6571
At least you could try writing in a coherent manner.. Anyways...
" just because it’s in the originals doesn’t justify it"
Commonly, prequels' opposition loves the originals. Which is why I included this.
The CGI was mostly the same in all 3 movies. It was amazing for it's time. And even today, it's far from terrible.
"confusing things in the plot means why does anikin go from crying about his girlfriend dying to tossing that bitch"
In that case, just as I suspected, you did not pay attention to the movie. Scratch that, you probably didn't watch it at all, if you refer to Padme as a "girlfriend". Because it was shown clearly enough how much Anakin changed by that time. He's already turned into a sith by that time, for goodness sake. Even this video itself explains it, if your attention span is too short for the movie.
"and treason then is one of the stupidest scenes I have ever seen, like what was that noise and jump, also how do 4 Jedi masters die in 3 seconds"
You seriously must not have watched the movie, or this video even, to not understand the scene. It's not rocket bloody science. Everything was laid out clearly.
And neither of fights you mentioned were "over the top". As I mentioned before, they were what they had to be. I don't get what you mean, when you say "over the top". Explain maybe?
All in all, it seems like you didn't watch the movies at all, and neither did you watch this video. And now you comment on it? You only complain for the sake of complaining, with no real arguments against the movies. It's ridiculous.

I sometimes like to think that Anakin didn't mean to cut off Mace's hand, just block it like he did with Count Dooku in Episode II. But, in a moment of shock and panic, emotions having boiled up prior to the scene, he loosely swings and cuts Windu's hand off. It adds a lot more weight to the, "What have I done?" sentence, as if the situation escalated too quickly and he has only now become aware of the consequences of his abrupt action. Obviously I know he *did* mean to cut it, but sometimes, it's interesting to think about this side to Anakin.
Funnily enough, the Video Game has that happening, leading to Anakin vs Mace duel.

What i like is that this guy actually pays attention to the damn movie. Cinema Sins constantly make mistakes that could easily be fixed if the guy just payed attention every once in a while.
erosion271 their videos are for purely comedic purposes
I know these videos seem to be a parody of cinema sins but fanboys and people that are gullible take these videos seriously or like to use these videos to re-assure or validate their opinions. Sad...
In my case it isn't because I think my opinion is right and I know a movie can do bad things while still being good or do good things while still being bad, I just decide "I like this movie" and I will watch these videos to find new things in a movie that I didn't notice before.
Even though he's doing this for comedic purposes, it's just kind of irritating that the Sin count reaches to like over 100 within' 5 minutes, only because he points out the littlest mistakes and all that XD
But this is a serious video. Yes, it has a link to CinemaSins, but this video is an actual review detailing what was good about this film, so it's perfectly fine to use it to re-assure or validate opinions.

A win for all of the prequel movies is that they focus on the inner politics of the Jedi and their conflict with the government, not a lot of people notice that the first steps to war are political and social conflict. And everyone hates politics because it takes a og of energy to seemingly end up where you started that’s what the prequels are, they’re the political and social conflict before war, it’s not supposed to be like the original trilogy because they represent a different part of war (the uprising).

Absolutely, without doubt. Hearing that scene just before Order 66 felt so nostalgic. Especially since they used the dialogue from that scene (great idea imo)
Technically, Anakin was the chosen one. He did kill Palpatine and brought balance to the force.
John Littrell He even brought balance when becoming Darth Vader. balance means there's the same amount on both sides, so killing all the Jedi and bringing it back to 2 Jedi and 2 Sith (at least in the movies) is balance
Kumquat Lord I had never thought about that. Though at the end of Episode six, he dies and (most likely) Palpatine died. That would leave Luke and Snoke in episode seven. Well, we don't really know if he is a sith yet, but it is very likely that he uses the dark side of the force, because it would make more sense for him to be a force user to be training Kylo Ren. If Snoke is a sith, that would make a single Jedi and a sith. I don't think the old Jedi understood the meaning of the word "balance" either, there was a ton of them and only two sith, a master and an apprentice. They were even trying to kill the sith, but that would make it even more unbalanced. The OLD OLD Jedi were also plentiful, but so were the sith. That is also balance, though I prefer having a single sith and single Jedi. Having hundreds of sith would mean they would be even worse and could conquer even more planets and turn the force users on those planets to add to the numbers of the sith empire. Sorry if this is a little long.
+Juhn Littrell It actually comes down to different "point of view" on what balance means. In the Jedi's philosophy the light side IS balance, while the dark side is imbalance (disturbance, corruption etc...). The new Jedi of Luke's order see balance as a mix of light and dark.
John Littrell No, he didn't.
John Littrell true
you know what, even having someone talk over this movie, the words you were my brother anakin, the pause, the i love you, will always make me tear up, the words i hate you, ankain burning and mouthing the words help me, the sudden denial, him yelling i hate you, and obi wans over all defeat of losing his best brother, its just so sad
13:11
The reason it's so good is because the grunt from Obi-Wan is in tune with three music. That small fighting sequence in that room ends at the same time as that part of the music. Excellent
I noticed that! Plus it’s the only time and move in the fight where it seems Obiwan actually tries to overpower anakin physically, and despite the fancy move and power grunt it still doesn’t even move him.
"His fate will be the same as ours."
Obi-Wan: dies on Death Star
Anakin/Vader: dies on Death Star
Palpatine: DIES ON DEATH STAR
Seems like pretty identical fates, don't you think?
All 3 also have their physical bodies vanish or, in Sheev's case, explode.

At least the prequels had a coherent storyline with a clear endpoint and good motivations for each character.
The sequels are a clusterf*ck of messy half baked ideas which destroy everything in the Star Wars Universe.
From hyperspace to the Force abilities everything is broken now (I mean everything)
Force Ghosts can now react with the environment, making their deaths useless.
Hyperspace can be used to make space nukes and kill thousands of people at once.

Fun fact for the battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan IS on the defensive the entire battle. That's because He is canonically the BEST defensive duelist in the entire galaxy. It's why He won at the end with the High ground. Because He choose the most defensible position and held it.
P.S. Also yes, He knew how to counter from his Duel with Darth Maul.
amazing, you would expect people who understand fighting to understand that, but nope. They just complain that Anakin should've won from the beginning. They know nothing of star wars, its lightsaber forms, or are just five year olds who think "offense is everything"
Noriael Gamer Obi-wan is a soresu master so no surprise he defeated Anakin.
@@lapplandkun9273 it's funny you say that, because anakin SHOULD have won from the beginning. In fact, if the fight would have gone on much longer he would have. In the novelization it quotes that anakin was striking so hard and so fast that the bones in obi-wans' forearms were fracturing under the pressure. Anakin knew all of his tricks, which is what forced obi wan to stick to the defensive, else he would have used his knowledge of ataru that he likes to mix into his primarily soresu (he originally trained under qui-gon, a user of ataru, but when qui gon died obi switched to and mastered soresu, and used his former knowledge of ataru to mix in some offensive strikes, as seen in his very brief fight with Darth maul in rebels) fighting style to beat anakin. Anakin was also much more talented in the force than obi wan. Honestly kenobi had a maybe 3/10 chance of winning that fight at best.
@@joshuacole4141 kenobi is one the least attuned to the force jedi around (low midichlorian count) he won because soresu and anakin being a dumbass
@@joshuacole4141 Thing is, he was cocky, even in a fight for his life on a giant lava planet. He underestimated Obi-Wan and though he was just another speck of dust he could brush off his shoulder. Like Palpatine said: "Only at the end, do you understand." He realized near the end that Obi-Wan wasn't just a typical Jedi, he was the master of defense, to think that you could just kill a defensive master like that in 2-3 minutes is crazy, but that's what Anakin thought. And at the end, his emotions took control of his movements, had he been a little calmer maybe he wouldn't, I don't know, JUMP to the HIGH GROUND, and instead just, do a little jump and land on the land like 9 FEET IN FRONT OF HIM.
Obi Wan: Only a sith deals in absolutes
Anakin: Are you sure about that?
Obi Wan: Absolutely
*proceeds to pull out red lightsaber*
In the novelization, the dialog free scene, Padme actually senses Anakin's presence as well as his fear and anguish, so she pictures the moment she first tells him she loves him. "...I truly deeply love you, and before I die, I want you to know."
I don’t care what people say I think Hayden Christiansen was the best Anakin
Thomas Corson same don’t blame the actor for acting the way the director and creator wanted and envisioned him to act. I find it stupid that they argue about that due to the fact that Lucas was incredibly involved with everything especially the characters

Um, r/prequelmemes?
ChaosXDGamer I am in agreement my exact opinions on the 3 movies
I grew up with the Clone Wars series and Anakin became one of my favorite characters along with Obi-Wan so seeing this film for the first time really had me crying for like a hour and then years later I see the end of season 7 and well I was basically relieving back then
I am your father is a great concept which is centred on that line but "you were my brother Anakin" is the greatest individual line in the saga perhaps even all movies ever
I'm SOOOOO glad you pointed out that Ewan and Hayden's lightsaber duel was genuinely all them. THEY WORKED THEIR ASSES OFF TO GET THAT FIGHT SCENE DOWN, AND IT'S EASILY ONE OF THE BEST DUELS IN STAR WARS HISTORY
Add on the fact that it's REAL TIME and it only gets better

The best duel, no question about it.
The original trilogy romanticized the Jedi. The prequel trilogy revealed the ugly history behind Obi-Wan "certain point of view."
I'm kinda confused about that (Kinda surface-level SW fan) what is the 'original' and 'prequel' trilogy?
I suppose originals are maybe IV to VI and prequels I to III?
@@Sukaiba69
The original trilogy was released from 1977 - 1983 and are usually referred to as Episodes IV, V & VI. This trilogy focuses on Luke Skywalker's involvement in the Rebellion and his personal journey to become a Jedi.
The prequel trilogy was released from 1999 - 2005. This focuses on the early life of Luke's father Anakin. We see Anakin suffer from and eventually succumb to the psychological problems which were ignored by the Jedi. We also see background information on some of the supporting characters seen in the original trilogy.
And the Last Jedi then touched on how the Jedi WERE kinda bad but even so, their legacy and ability to inspire were so much more powerful than anything they could physically do. Kinda bridges the first two trilogies
🙄
Why do you say that?
I know Luke had to be hidden but I like to think obi wan chose to watch over him as a last gesture of good faith to his friend anakin before he turned
In the novelization, Obi-Wan runs back to the ship because he knows if he can save Padme and Anakin's child, he can do one last kind thing for his friend. And he looks forward to watching over Luke as an "eccentric uncle" in Anakin's memory. You can tell he never lies to Luke, either, what he said is what he needed to believe.
(I haven't seen clone wars or the Kenobi series yet, though)

I have never understood why the prequels get so much hate. Yes, there are some awkward lines (the sand one, sure) and there’s a lot of politics, but I think they’re honestly great. How else are you going to get from a free republic to a controlling empire without politics? And the sand line makes sense for an awkward, love-struck teen trying to communicate and not really knowing how. Idk, I’ve been seeing more acceptance of the prequels recently and I hope that continues cause I think they were judged too harshly the first time around
Not to mention how Anakin had good reason to dislike sand, and no reason to be good at flirting
@@martalaatsch8358 Agree it connects to episode 1. Even without watching clone wars I understood the dialogue.
When anikan and Obi-Wan match each other’s moves in that part of the final battle, I think it showed the strength of their connection built over years of living and fighting together, even though they can now never go back to that, which is both awesome and heartbreaking. A really nice touch
This movie is more emotional after watching The Clone Wars

I have a theory that Yoda ran away because during his fight with Palpatine, he tapped into the Dark Side, ever so briefly, and it terrified him. You can see it when he's blocking Palpatine's Force Lightning. Yoda's face screws up in anger as he glares at Palpatine, and then Palpatine's maniacal laugh becomes a hacking choke.
Yoda, for a brief moment, started Force Choking Palpatine. Then, realizing what the fight drove him to do in his desperation to win, he realized he couldn't continue down that path.
both mace windu and yoda end up deflecting force lightning back at palpatine with their lightsabers, and doing so only makes him stronger. it's especially relevant in the context of Return of the Jedi, where Luke throws away his lightsaber and refuses to kill not just Anakin Skywalker, but Darth Vader. Even if he can't convince Vader that there's still good in him, he'd rather die than strike him down. And that's when Palpatine, confronted with someone that refuses to play along with his games, spitefully acknowledges that Luke truly is a Jedi - quite possibly the only 'real' Jedi he's ever fought.
Iirc, the novelization had Yoda realize something-the Sith had evolved, and the Jedi as they were cannot defeat them in this new incarnation.

The first two prequel movies had a lot of issues in terms of pacing and dialogue... but they were great at setting up the finale in RotS. Episode 3 is among the best movies I've ever watched. The cinematics and action scenes are great... but it's the conclusion of the story that's truly phenomenal. The tragic story of Anakin Skywalker is some of the best, emotional story-writing I have ever witnessed. Not to mention that Hayden Christensen played the role perfectly. There were some rough scenes in episode 2 but those were largely caused by the incredibly clunky dialogue. The dialogues in Episode 3 were written FAR better and allowed Hayden to show his skill as an actor.
There are a lot of people hating on the prequels and while I partially understand their disappointment with Ep. 1 and 2, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the hate for Episode 3 is largely caused by 'fake' fanboys of the OT that wanted an exact copy of the old movies or people that simply went along with the mainstream opinion of calling the prequels bad despite not actually having any idea about the story or Star Wars as a whole.
Simply look at the INSANE amount of "Star Wars Theory" videos that are based almost entirely on the prequels. It goes to show how good and successful these movies truly were despite all the hate they received and what a great job they did in terms of worldbuilding.
The OT was great! They were an amazing series of Sci-Fi movies with a beautiful story about a young boy seeking adventure that developed into a mature man whose faith saved the galaxy.
The prequels however are what turned Star Wars into what it is today. Star Wars is no longer just the story of Luke but instead turned into a fictional universe with great characters and a huge detailed history.
This is what separates the prequels from the new Disney sequels. While the prequels extended our knowledge of the Star-Wars universe and simultaneously provided us with a beautiful yet tragic story, the sequels simply tried to copy the OT without actually doing any world-building. This is why they fell so incredibly flat and why they'll quickly be forgotten while the prequels and the story of Anakin Skywalker will forever be remembered as one of the most significant and important parts of a galaxy, far far away.
*thunderous applause* I couldn't agree more!
I always thought that the pause Palpatine goes through while naming Vader is to get in touch with the Dark Side to reveal the name to him
I thought it was so Anakin wouldn't know how *much* planning had gone into manipulating him... Palpatine had probably been considering names for years and eventually settled on the one that referenced the final straw in his turn to the Dark Side, his preparation to become a father and his losing the father figure Palpatine had been for him
