Guys, I hope you enjoy the reaction here's hoping they don't take it down like they did episode 1 (its back up now though btw) ALSOOOO I will release episode 3 next week, but at the same time on the channel I will be live streaming - Starwars Jedi: Fallen Order, So if you're into gaming or just want to join in and say hi, make sure you check out the live tab, and keep your eye on community tab too for more information ! (Also for full unedited reaction click the link in bio and check out the Patreon)
Also just so you guys know, I’m pretty sure it is a five year age difference between Anakin and Padme, she was 14 and he was 9 in the first movie.
Also Jango Fetts kid is Boba Fett from the original trilogy
Now you guys have to watch the entire 7 Seasons of The Clone Wars before watching Revenge Of The Sith.
@@amrosoronar1853 They already watched Revenge of the Sith, but yes, they definitely should watch Clone Wars
Come on ... THINK ... Yoda has trained Jedi for 800 years ... so he will have had loads of Padawans.
He was 9 and Padme was 14. In this film, he is 19 and Padme is 24.
Padme was 14? damn i would have never known.
Yeah it seemed weird because anikin was played by a very younger kid in episode 1
Ages confirmed in The Saga Begins - Weird Al Yankovic
THey may have changed it. At the time the movie came out they quote Ani as being 20, and having turned 10 right after end of episode 1. Either way the age difference is close, and not weird at all.
@blackknight1013 Yeah, puberty is a bitch sometimes lol
I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who catches it, but after Anakin kills the tusken raiders and it cuts to Yoda meditating, thats actually the voice of Qui Gon yelling "Anakin! Anakin! No!" and its likely Yoda is tapping into the netherworld of the force and hearing Qui Gon watching and reacting to what Anakin was doing
HOLY FUCK
You're not wrong. It's explained in better detail in the novelization. In the novelization, Anakin heard Qui-Gon Jinn too, but he was deep and engaged in his rage killing to stop. The slaughter of the Tusken Raiders is far more violent in the book. Definitely an excellent book worth reading.
i always caught that too
A lot of people somehow miss this, but Jamgo said he was hired by a "man called Tyranus" and Sidious welcomes Dooku with, "Welcome home, Lord Tyranus."
Yeah, but it becomes obvious in the next movie who is actually in charge of the clones, despite the Jedi commanding them in battle. But yes, the more you pay attention the more brilliant Sheev's scheming appears. Long con is not enough to describe it, considering he also inherited much of it from a long line of Sith Lords over 1000 years.
They knew about the power coupling cause they’re jedi, who know a lot about technology and weapons, and cause it’s a basic power structure, especially with the technology they have in the star wars universe.
To me, this is by far the most underappreciated Star Wars film, and does the absolute best world building and character development
This film does have its flaws and cringey moments but it also has some of the best Star Wars scenes in it at the same time. Definitely under appreciated
I actually think it's the best prequel movie. So 6th overall. I used to appreciate it even more, back when I judged them based on the amount of lightsaber scenes that were in them. Back then it was obviously 2nd after Episode 3.
@@James-kd2qm it's alright when you're young, it's natural to say cringey stuff at that age. this movie covers it well as well
His mother is so happy to see him it destroys me every time.
Hate when other reactors, not these 2, say about old movies “why do they default to he”, well of course they did, it was a different time, and also cause men are more likely to do these types of things, or the reaction I watched where this was mentioned, which was death note, with the police assuming Kira was a “he”, study a like pshycology, and you’ll understand why this is the case.
What people should understand is Anakin's personality comes from BPD which is a real world disorder. People with BPD are often traumatized at as a child, in Anakin's case being enslaved. They have high mood disorders that can happen in a instance and can last for days or weeks. Completely conflicted because they know that what they feel is wrong, but they cannot help it. They often have the biggest hearts to help others, but it comes to a fault when they carry too much of the world on their shoulders. In my case, I also have extreme attachment issues. To do soo much to keep people in my life close, and dangerously acting on anything to keep them around in life. Keeping this in mind, you'll really sympathize with Anakin's struggles.
It’s true that people often forget his first 10 years where as slave and he got separated from his mother and had to restrain his feelings for the next 10 years .
Though it may be uncomfortable to watch Anakin's creepy advances on Padme and his awkward, angsty teen dialogue, the age difference is not that much. In Episode 1, Anakin is 9 years old and Padme is 14. In Episode 2, set ten years later, Anakin is now 19 years old and Padme is 24. The 5 year difference is not scandalous. As far as maturity level is concerned, Padme is certainly far more mature than Anakin who is still a whiney and angst ridden teen. Keep in mind, however, that Anakin is the same age in this movie as Luke was in Episode 4: A New Hope. Luke was just as whiney at 19 years old as Anakin is in this film.
Actually he is 20 in episode 2. They claim he turned 10 at the end of 1 and so is 20 in the second movie that is 10 years on.
@@blackknight1013who is they? In any official start wars reading it says he it's 19 in this movie. So, where are you getting your source from?
Problem is the casting makes the difference appear much wider in the first movie so feels really weird in this one. Portman is 8 years older than the kid and it feels really wrong to see a 19 yo and an 11 yo become a relationship.
@@tinamardt7734 So you think 8 years is too much? Are you nuts? 20 and 28 is hardly a big thing. I met my wife to be when I was 19 and she as 25.
@@blackknight1013 sadly even today people think that age matters in love which is bullshit. If feelings are mutual age doesn’t matter.
The small kid in Kamino, unaltered clone, it´s Bobba Fett. The mythic character on the original trilogy who caught Han Solo. Legendary bountyhunter. Here you can see as a kid. Great reaction guys!!
@@desativadoofficial Boba told Vader where Han was
@@Kephy_ That isnt the same as "capturing" ...
tl;dr Being PRECISE with WORDS is a lost art ...
@@Muck006 He did get the credit in the eyes of the criminal underworld. A person in universe would believe that he captured him, as would probably historians later based on the evidence available.
The legendary bounty hunter, Boba Fett defeated in the most stupid way in original trilogy....." Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where? and Han hit Boba jetpack flying and hit the wall of hovercraft and fell into Sarlac Pit.
@Dayspring Absolutely. I couldn't watch the show seeing how they did him.
"Yoda's the ultimate conman with that little stick." 😂 When I saw this in the cinema opening night, the moment that Yoda started flying around... the whole cinema just collectively gasped and you could feel the room move, it was insane. One of my favourite cinema experiences ever.
I dunno, m8... my entire cinema burst out with laughter when Yoda turned into a little green frog hopping all over. The ridiculousness's of the movie had been piling up for so long by that point there was no other recourse but to laugh in despair at what we perceived as the death of the Star Wars we had all grown up with.
@@sandwiched it's almost as if... different people have different experiences 😆
@@RazorwireReviews Inconceivable!!
Rico's reaction to Yoda fighting was my exact reaction when I saw it in theaters for the first time, along with everyone else in my movie theater.
Same here, the theatre erupted in a roar of excitement. Of course I went opening night, so a lot of super fans to the franchise. Considering episode one, this was definitely a nice upgrade. Even with all its criticism.
My best shot on why Anakin was so painfully awkward with Padme is because He pretty much spent his Childhood and Teenage Years sheltered with Slaves and then with other Jedi in and out of The Temple, He has no idea how talk to someone like Padme at all, at least that's how I see it.
Yup, dude had no other experience besides work and training
He’s literally raised in a temple. What can people expect from a monk knight 😂 it’s not like Luke didn’t have his horny moments either especially for his sister.
@@Tooba-K123 Exactly except Luke was more of a Farmboy... which could explain a few things really... lol
Exactly. He was a Slave until the Age of 9 and part of a Monastic Order that forbids attachment after that. That kid has never learned how to talk to someone apart from communication involving his duties as a jedi.
@@avsbes98 Yep and he was raised by a brother figure who did not put him in line like Qui Gon (the father figure) would have.
The white armored Clone troopers are the predecessor of the Empire's Stormtroopers, by the time of Episode 4 A New Hope the Clones were replaced by humans, so all the white armored Stormtroopers you saw in A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are not clones just normal recruited humans men and women.
spoilers. cmon..
@HellBrYnger not really a spoiler because the movies doesn't really clearly say that and because they didn't clear it up its a misconception that storm troopers in the original trilogy is thought to be Clones still
I don't think there were any female stormtroopers until the Disney buyout.
@@HellBrYnger They have already seen 4, 5, and 6, so not a spoiler.
incorrect, Vader's Fist was made up of mostly clones and elite humans
When I saw this in the cinema, just over 20 years ago now, the cinema exploded with cheers when Yoda ignited his lightsaber and took on Dooku. Everyone was "yup, that's why he's THE Jedi MASTER" 😂
The people in the bar on corusant didn’t really care about a jedi cutting off someones arm. The jedi are very rare in the galaxy, but on corusant, everyone knows them, cause they’re the generals of the military, and very well trained in almost everything, and can be given any difficulty of assignment, from local security like we just saw, to top secret infiltration and assasination, even though the last one is not very jedi like, and people know that you don’t mess with them, even most bounty hunters and elite warriors don’t get involved with jedi, no matter the price.
52:09 The "Tales of the Jedi" show goes a little more into his grief about Qui-Gon's death, so I recommend watching that show, too.
And the animated shows clone wars, rebels, and bad batch go into the whole thing about the stormtroopers starting out as clones, then becoming stormtroopers, what happens to them, cause they age twice as fast, and how most of the stormtroopers in the original triology aren’t clones, but just regular humans, which is also part of the reason they are so much worse in the original triology than in the prequels.
The sound of the seismic charge was the sound effect when this came out. It’s so satisfying.
About Hayden Christensen who plays Anakin, he was directed to act very stoic and monotone, to imitate Darth Vader, and make the transition more seamless, cause Vader is almost like a robot, a cyborg, so that’s why Anakin is the way he is, but also cause of trauma and other psychological reasons.
The theatre went absolutely crazy when Yoda pulled that saber out. So glad I got to see this in theatre for that scene alone.
You guys should react to the 3 episodes of the animated star wars show called tales of the jedi that focuses on Dooku, they go really well together with this movie.
On Naboo, the position of Queen is an elected position with a limited term. Queen is the chief executive position in charge of the government of Naboo, but has no jurisdiction beyond her home planet. The position of senator, another elected position, is a representative for Naboo in the Galactic Senate. A senator has one voice among thousands to represent their planet's interests in the governing body of the entire galaxy which has jurisdiction over thousands of planets. It is not a "step down", and nothing "happened" to cause a demotion, rather Padme Amidala's term as queen expired and she sought another political position to serve her planet's people.
Apparently she was popular enough they wanted to rewrite Naboo's constitution to keep her in office but she declined.
@@PheonixFire She was well loved and received a Queen's funeral too I think.
To put Yoda's lightsaber skills into perspective: Dooku is considered to be one of the best lightsaber duelists and he created a diversion with that pillar and basically fled from Yoda.
When he was in the Jedi order he was number two behind yoda .
Love how this movie is like, what’s the best investment for future warfare and science, AI or cloning, droids or clones, although both things will of course get a lot of investment, and each has its ups and downs.
Allow me to clarify the Skywalker / Lars family dynamic. Anakin has NO FATHER. He was conceived by the midi-chlorians and Shmi Skywalker. His Force power comes from the midi-chlorians, NOT A FATHER, nor his mother. Owen is his STEP-BROTHER, not his half-brother. Owen is the product of Cliegg Lars and his first partner, NOT SHMI. There is no shared DNA between the Skywalkers and Lars families.
Padme is just 5 years older than anakin. She was 14 in episode 1 and he was 9 years old. In this movie she is 24 and he is 19/20. So its not that bad with the age difference. She falls for him because even as a child she was always seen as a politcal figure and had to act accordingly. He is one of the few people who treats her like a regular girl. He makes her laugh and doesnt suck up to her. Also them getting married so fast is because he is going to to war, so he could die any day.
Of all the problems with how Padme is written, the age difference between her and Anakin is among the very least of her issues 😂
Anyone voting for a 14-year-old girl to be queen should lose their right to vote ... and any culture electing KIDS to be rulers needs a nice dictator to kick them in the butt.
@@joer3720 what do you mean how she is written. I didnt notice any problems with her character. The only problem is that the movies dont explain a lot of her inner thoughts about things. But overall she isnt really badly written.
@@joer3720 Padme is actually a good character. Anakin is more textually flawed but well it has been a Star Wars tradition to have problematic main characters so we can overlook that.
@@anteletica1148 He talks about killing children and many innocent aliens for a few bad apples and she realises "I want to marry this man".
Just so you know Anakin is 19 and Padme is 24 in this movie since you seemed curious about the age gap.
Love Jango and Cad Bane just not giving a thing about jedi, cause they’re so good at their job.
I’ve grown to like Attack of the Clones a lot for it’s overarching mystery plot. Dooku leaves the Jedi after his Padawan is murdered by a Sith. He forms the Separatists, tensions rise between them and the Republic, Padmé tries to push for peace negotiations, almost gets assassinated. The assassin, Jango Fett, leaves a trail of breadcrumbs partially obscured by the actions of a past Jedi. When found on Kamino, it’s discovered he’s the progenitor of a clone army commissioned by a dead Jedi master named Syfo-Dyas. But when questioned about this, Jango claims to have never heard of the man the cloners he lives with were open about being the commissioner, instead claiming he was hired by a man named Tyranus. Did Jango lie, or was this information somehow out of alignment between him and the cloners? Either way, why?
Followed again to Geonosis, Obi-Wan discovers he is in league with Dooku and the Separatists, who are building a droid army with which to fight the Republic. Why is Jango, the progenitor of the clone army, working with Dooku, the leader of the droid army? It’s like he’s playing both sides. Won’t get that answer, he’s dead.
Dooku claims he’s doing this all for the greater good, as the Republic has been taken over by Darth Sidious. He pretends to have no control over the situation, and later acts to his fellow Separatists as if he had no knowledge of the clone army. Yet, when he returns to Coruscant, he meets up with Darth Sidious, calling him master, and is named Darth Tyranus. Dooku is Tyranus, and he serves Sidious?
Why did Dooku hire Jango to help form a clone army that would be used against himself? Why is Dooku forming the Separatist droid army to fight Sidious, on orders from Sidious? How did Dooku work with Dyas to get the clone army up and running ten whole years before it would be needed? Was Dooku the one who obscured the location of Kamino? Was it to hide the planet, or to draw attention to it? What’s the plan going forward?
Especially if one hasn’t seen Return of the Jedi yet, this movie is very compelling in the twists and turns it makes, leaving us with far more questions than answers, but wanting more.
Creating a war where you control both sides of the conflict has been done since time immemorial, usually by superpower countries. Worse both sides are fighting with disposable troops, clones vs robots - so the personal loss of soldiers that must be suffered for all wars to end is just not there. Countless frontline planets and civilizations would be completely destroyed during the war, but if you also control the United Nations (the Galactic Senate), you can censor those casualty reports. Sidious was a dick
Dooku left before that
1:05:57 That smile of count dooku killed me, he wasnt even trying his best you could see it on him
Interesting Anakin and Pade talking about politics, and Anakin saying the politicians ahould be made to agree. Well, a supercomputer with AI could in theory make calculated, unbiased, and icecold decisions on the right thing to do with everything, which wouldn’t work of course, but the idea of objective truths and science over feelings and religion is the takeaway from that, cause that’s how politics should be, but until then, just spending all the money on public infrastructure would be the best solution, cause it stays, when politics change.
Yoda Taught all the younglings before they are taken as an apprentice, Sifo Dyas was the Master of Count Dooku, Dooku was the Master of Qui-Gon Jinn, Qui-Gon was the Master of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Obi-Wan is the Master of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, Yoda finishes Luke's Training
I have to say this before I forget and before I finish this video you are the only reactors that I came across that are able to keep up with the story and I'm in shocked because I didn't expect you guys to understand that's crazy. Other reactors cannot keep up but you guys are something else and I can respect that because some of the stuff you're pointing out is some stuff I overlooked. I know I'm a month behind to this reaction for this movie but all I can say is damn and wow because yall noticed the Jedi are two arrogant to admit that the dark side cloud and judgment and decision making so they can admit that to other people or it will show that in a weak and not needed so they tried so hard to stay in power
The Clone Troopers are NOT the same as Storm Troopers (that I assume you meant when you saw them and said: "They were clones all this time?") In the animated shows like the Bad Batch, this issue of the Storm Troopers and Clone Troopers is being masterfully shown. Simply put, the Clones are better trained and more professional, but also more expensive. Storm Troopers from episode IV to VI are regular recruits.
Also, Yoda is not faking it with the walking stick. He is using Form 4 duelling style. A form fit for smaller sizes and powerful Force wielders. But he can't do it for long. His old age doesn't allow him. Similar to Dooku, who is a master of Form 2, an elegant fencing form, but he too is old and can't duel for extended periods of time.
I think a lot of people (maybe most of them) assumed that the first time we watched the movie for the first time (you know without Clone Wars existing yet), including me... and I like to think they're the same actually
I cringed so hard when he thought they were the same.
Yeh and those who aren't major SW geeks like me and some of us also don't know about how they cushion their falls with the force and all other such moves, and the focus it takes for all of it. We see just light saber fights, (awesome ones) but there is more than meets the eye.
Some titles are ceremonial. Padme was "elected" Queen. After her term was up, she was elected Senator.
Episode 2 is my favorite one. Can you react to The Accountant. It's my favorite Ben Affleck film. I think it's right up there in your taste of movies.
the age gap is not that large. Anakin was 9 and padme 14 in episode 1 and in episode 2 he's 19 and she's 24 ^^
Those seismic charges hit SO LOUD in the theaters. That made it that much more epic. Plus lil Murder Boba lol.
It's funny how each of the prequel movies, while questionable overall, have specific parts that are really freaking epic... the podrace and its sound effects and the lightsaber duels with Darth Maul in Episode I... the seismic charges, and the dusty beginnings of the Clone Wars battle on Geonosis in this one...
Love that "rival master Yoda as a swordsman" because we haven't seen that and yeah he is so elite
1:13:30 I think some of the cancelled Clone Wars show stories were supposed to show how the jedi temple was build onto a sith themple which also contributed to the jedi's senses getting clouded by the dark side.
Lol Monica is a lot more clued up on the plot and she gets most of it correct.
Him too... at 23:18 he's talking about Dooku erasing Kamino archives.
I second this but in this movie he payed more attention especially with whole Dooku situation.
Dooku is an extremely talented swordsman as we could see, one of the best in the history of the order, that's why he managed to fight even with master Yoda
Well, that is a small spoiler about Dooku.
@@jasontodd8296 I changed it just in case, but I don't remember it being revealed in any movie
@@rol1xgames333 I think it may have been revealed in the novelisation, perhaps? But it was shown in the Tales of the Jedi.
@@jasontodd8296 well, it seems to me that by the time of Tales of the Jedi, everyone who was interested in it already knew about it and it wasn't a surprise but maybe you're right and not everyone is into it
@@rol1xgames333 Just in case, if they go down the animation road.
The reason Padmé is no longer queen is because Naboo is weird. They elect their monarchs at a young age, and their term ends when they reach adulthood. This apparently after a previous elected monarch tried to take dictatorial power.
5:28 This here is also very interesting. Obi-Wan expected Anakin to back talk a little bit, "We'll not go over this again," but the "Why?" surprised him. It's some subtle storytelling that implies Anakin is normally rebellious, but not this much.
EDIT: I stand corrected on the Naboo monarchy.
Anakin was obviously just trying to show off for Padmé. She wanted to know who was trying to kill her and he obliged, not giving two cuts about anything else. She was obviously more important than anything, to him. Including his life as a Jedi. It seems a bit far-fetched but I believe it's supposed to foreshadow his fall in the next movie, which is all about his love for Padmé.
If you realise, Count Dooku had the chance to cut any leg or arm to Obi Wan, but he only hurted him. Although Dooku was in the dark side, before of all this he loved his apprentice Qui Gon Jinn. And remembering him... didn´t want to hurt more than necessary at Qui Gonn´s apprentice.
Obi-Wan was a "grandson" like figure to Dooku, who did train and love Qui Gon. He wouldnt kill his son's son.
@@paulhewes7333 for sure.
SO he cut Anakin’ s arm to increase his hate
The scene that shows Annakin slaughering the sand people explains why in Episode IV why the sand people ran away when Obi Wan appeared.
Actually that was because Obi Wan imitated the sound of a Krayt dragon, and the Tuskans are afraid of Krayt dragons.
Isn't it a thing in the new canon where he slaughters Tuskens everytime he has to visit Tatooine?
@@britt6184 Well, I'm not sure about the new canon. But it would make sense that the Sand People would be afraid of Jedi, considering a single Jedi wiped out an entire tribe which included their children.
Rico is going to love The Clone Wars
1:01:10 fun fact, you can see Jango try to use his jet pack to move out of the way but it was damaged by the giant animal thing earlier.
just so you know, Padme is 5 years older than Anikin. When they met, Anikin was 10 and Padme was 15
Through Qui Gon's death, the place of the father figure Anakin needed to grow up well was open and while Obi-Wan failed to fill this place as he was too stuck up on the Jedi Code, Palpatine pounced on it and began to manipulate him and groom Anakin from an early age.
WRONG ... Obi-Wan was far too young to be wise enough to train Anakin correctly. It was NOT "being stuck in Jedi code" ...
The lesson Anakin needed HAMMERED INTO HIM is ... HUMILITY! [Back in Ancient Rome a victorious general had his day of triumph in Rome and behind the general was a slave on the chariot during the parade, who constantly repeated "remember you are only a human" ...]
In addition to this Anakin desperately needed SELF-CONTROL ... and Obi-Wan failed in teaching both, because he was too young himself.
@@Muck006I disagree, and your acertion that the OP is just "WRONG" is disrespectful. What Anakin really needed was to learn to deal with loss. All of his dark side power starts to manifest when he loses someone. The loss of his mother sent him into a killing rage and just the thought of losing Padme was enough to push him to the dark side because he believed it was the only way to save her.
Also, I'm aware that Yoda tried to teach Anakin that losing someone is a natural part of life and that he should rejoice in them joining the force instead of morning and missing them.
I think you both are right. Obi Wan was young himself and he was stuck up on Jedi codes. I clearly didn’t understand the psychology of a child who was separated from his mother and with judgemental eyes of council needed a father figure. Obi Wan though discipling him would make Council look at him differently and Anakin himself would come to like it too. Being inexperienced became Obi Wan’s flaw.
@@Tooba-K123 Anakin needed love and compassion, and Obi Wan didn’t give him that. All he did was judge him most of the time, he was too overly critical and he didn’t take the time to listen to Anakin when he should’ve.
@@JoshuaBloom01 Yeh, but Yoda's teaching to Anakin was so wrong for him. Wise Master Yoda really didn't know his audience. Anakin's story is such a tragedy. He was failed all around him, both by good intentions and by bad ones.
1:01:15 Someone has probably already beat me to the punch here. But I noticed watching this time that you can actually see his head fly out of the helmet. Just rewatch it and look down at the shadow.
Ya'll gotta watch Clone Wars. It takes place between Episode 2 and 3
Star Wars movies are pretty divisive and a lot of people have a lot of opinions about them, but it's really great to see you two having such a good time with these movies and really getting in to Star Wars. It's an amazing universe and there is a lot of good content out there related to it which will keep you busy for a long time.
There are 5 years between Anakin and Padmé in Episode 1 he was 9 she was 14, this is 10 years later so he is 19 and she is 24, In the OG Trilogy there was 10 years age difference between Han Solo and Princess Leia, she and Luke were 19 and Han was 29
It's funny to think that since Yoda was fully CGI at this point, the duel between him and Dooku was just Christopher Lee/stunt double swinging around at nothing lol
Anakin was 9 and padme was 14 in the phantom menace. Only a 5 year difference.
Dooku has one of my favorite Sith names Darth Tyranus
Man I cant wait for next week! Thanks for another awesome reaction💙
Well, the age difference is not that big. Padmé was 14 in Episode 1, Anakin 9. So only 5 years :D
Padme is a young cougar
@@technopirate304 lol
In case you hadn't spotted it, at 42:48 Anakin's shadow looks like Darth Vader
rico is incredibly on point at 35:00 when he talking about the jedi lying and that. The jedi have lost their way and are being manipulated by outer darker forces to become even weaker, its actually really sad the more you watch this series the more you realise there are like 50 different internal battles going on lmao
I love that you guys had a theory that Dooku was Sidious. If he didn't have a master, I would've taken this Dooku as Sidious thing to be a cool twist!
Loved the reaction to Yoda fighting and Dooku saying that Sidious had taken control of the Republic.
Lol loved Rico's reaction to Anakin losing his arm and Monica's response to Anakin Padme what she wants him to do, "Stop" 😂
And I love that you guys are catching on to things. You guys did better with noticing how Anakin became Darth Vader and sadly as a kid, everything went over my head.

@@sandwiched lolll. Disagree.
Episode III is the best one of all Star Wars franchise
Just to specify. The Clone Troopers are not Stormtroopers, yes they have similar armor but they are not the same. After the Empire takes over the quickly phased out the production of clones and replaced them with human soldiers that were either recruits or drafted into service
In the Prequel Trilogy The Galactic republic is the government in the galaxy and the Jedi are the keepers of the peace in the Republic and the opposing faction are The Separatists which is built up of The Trade Federation, The Banking Clan and The Techno Union Army during the Clone Wars era. In the Original Trilogy The Galactic Empire which had over three the Republic was basically in charge and the good guys were the Rebel Alliance that fought and defeated them in The Galactic Civil War era.
He was 9, she was 14 in the first movie, this one is 10years after episode 1, so now they are 19 and 24 :D If you want more background, watch tales of the jedi, the Dooku Parts. it fits with what you saw in episode one and this one :)
28:53 The Star Wars shows "Clone Wars" and "Bad Batch" go more into if the clones are Stormtroopers or not. So I hope you watch them too.
0:31 Ah yes, a famous line of count Dooku.
35:18 As far as I understand...
the Jedi counsel is unable to use the force to see the future any more or just in broken pieces.
the Sith lord is able to exploit a blind spot/weakness in the Jedi's ability to use the force to their advantage to see the future or uncover plots and manipulations ...

It’s pretty widely seen as the worst in the Star Wars prequels. Mainly because of Jar Jar still existing and the dialogue…”I don’t like sand” or “I’m haunted by the kiss you should never have given me”
I still like the movie too, but I think it would be much more well received if they re-wrote some of the dialogue
Personally, I loved Jar Jar as a kid - which by the way was his actual purpose in the movie so it's something that George Lucas got right in my book. He made me laugh, I liked how different and musical his speech was, I LOVED the Gungun culture - so cool! - and I thought he was totally unlike every other main character: a unique species, dialect, background etc.
Also, whilst the romantic aspect of Anakin and Padme's relationship was rushed, and the dialogue wasn't always good, I always found it strangely believable. The character is 20 at most in this story - 20 year olds say a lot of corny mediocre lines. If anything, the lines being cringe sort of feed into the whole theme that their relationship is a bad move.
And I don't mind if anybody disagrees. I always thought that people read a lot of toxic stuff onto Jar Jar's character from real world history which, quite frankly, is just off. I understand the arguments- blackface minstrel archetypes and all that - but when I was a member of the target demographic (children), I don't remember thinking lowly of Jar Jar's species (the Gungun culture was one of my all-time favourites in Star Wars with their underwater bubble cities, portable forcefields, Kadoo cavalry, bursur pets and stranger hierarchical culture that seemed to consist of difference sub-species), nor of Jar Jar himself. In a film franchise with all of these perfectly dextrous and graceful jedi, and these perfectly beautiful actors and actresses, strangely enough Jar Jar added something real for me - something relatable, funny, believable. I'd think - hey I'm clumsy sometimes too, but sometimes I style it out like that - watching Jar Jar accidentally cause havoc amongst the droids. Sometimes I would think wow! isn't it interesting watching Jedis interacting with normal everyday citizens of a planet, to whom jedi and sith are myths and the force is an exotic religious concept like God or karma. Basically, people politicize stuff, and impute motives they cannot prove, and it sucks. It also terrifies people about taking artistic risks or being inspired by stuff IRL. They borrowed a wonderful West Indian dialect for a culture for a movie, and that is somehow racist? I mean... this crap just wouldn't have passed muster in my undergraduate essays.
Count dooku was the only person in this whole situation who was right. He was a separatist and hated both sides in a way. Didn’t like the Jedi because they were corrupt and didn’t like sidious because he was power hungry.
Thats why Qui gon would of joined Dooku
Heard Qui- Gon When Anakin started killing Sandpeople.
considering your takes at the end i think youd seriously enjoy andor. its less magical(no force and no lightsabers) but takes that vacuum to excel in writing.
anakin was 9 in the last one and padme was 14 and now 19 and 24 but padme actress looks older she was 17 playing a 14 year old its meant to be 5 year gap
Ya should watch the clone wars the animated show, atleast the most important arcs..it takes place between the events after this movie and the next and gives a lot of insight on what happens in between the two
Can't wait for revenge of the sith, it is absolutely amazing
Finish them up plz and next one is crazy and the best Star Wars movie by far
Dooku was not a good person, but he was a separatist through and through. He believed in the separatist cause and that the republic was corrupt. And in many ways he was right. That’s how palpatine was able to get Dooku to join him. But palpatine was out to use that corruption to form an empire, something Dooku wasn’t interested in. That’s why both of them tried to betray the other, Dooku trying to get obi-wan to help him and palpatine replacing Dooku with anikan.
FYI, there's only a 4 year age gap between Anakin and Padme. He was 10 when they picked him up from Tatooine, and Padme was elected queen at age 14.
4 years and couple months. Anakin was 9. Beginning of the clone wars he is 19 and when it ends he is 22👍
Love your reactions they so long and so detail and nice cant wait for ep 3!
Here we also meet uncle Owen and aunt Beru, who breed Luke...
You mean raise right?
@@technopirate304 I got a very unintended and wrong image in my head from that line from Domingo, lol.
@@rydout 🤣😂🤣😂
Think about it. If you’re 9 and see a girl you think is cute who’s a few years older than you, and then don’t see them again until you’re both adults, (anakin just turned 20 and Padme is 24) it wouldn’t be weird to like each other and start a relationship
Anakin gets his arm cut off and reacts with mild discomfort
Fun fact! Mace Windu's lightsaber is purple because Samuel L. Jackson requested it be that color to George Lucas, despite lightsaber colors being established as blue and green for jedi, and red for sith. In-universe, it was later explained that purple sabers are used by jedi who dabble in dark side abilities (purple btw is what you get when you combine blue and red).
I really hope you two will consider reacting to the Disney+ limited series Obi Wan Kenobi when you finish with the Prequel Trilogy. It follows Obi Wan during the 19 year gap between Episode 3 and Episode 4. Even though it is a television series rather than a feature length movie, it is only 6 episodes and shorter than another trilogy yet has the same caliber of CGI or better, the same actors return to reprise their roles, and the arc of character development is outstanding. I would suggest reacting to two episodes per reaction; 1 & 2, then 3 & 4, and finally 5 & 6 since thematically the narratives are paired up as beginning, middle, and climax.
PLEASE STOP They need to watch in release order, before Kenobi there are a LOT of other things
@Dayspring You're an angry Star Wars fan never satisfied I understand, but they are not, they're new to this universe and Obi-Wan Kenobi is important to watch.
@@lirpa2300 Obi-Wan Kenobi is inside the Star-Wars universe, it's canon, so it's important to watch. If you think it's not important, don't watch anything at all, it's fiction it changes NOTHING of real life.
@@Kephy_ and oviously triggered by the female lead lol
Anyone who says Kenobi was anything better than hot garbage is deluding themselves. The quality of the lightsaber duels, lazy CGI, and shaky cam are enough to prove it, without getting into any other issues. Kenobi had so much potential, but it was terribly executed, and that just can’t be debated
People always have a problem with the age gap between anakin and padme, but Han and leia's age gap is nearly tripled theirs. Anakin and padme are 5 years apart, han and leia are 13 years apart. Anakin is the same age in this one as leia was in a new hope, yet Han is 8 years older in a new hope than padme is in this one.
@46:05 From that moment on, he was known as “Big Orphan Ani”. 😁
I highly encourage them to watch the Clone Wars show first. It makes the impact of everything in ROS hit even harder.
Yeah, but then you have the final episodes of Clone Wars Season 7 that overlap with RotS... they could watch seasons 1-6 -> RotS -> season 7...
It's only 5 years between people in their 20s, everyone has such warped attitudes these days
She was 7 years older than him✨
The age difference isnt weird, in Episode I Anakin was 9 and Padme 14, in this movie he is 19 and Padme 24, its fine
Anakin is 17/18 in this movie he was 8 in episode 1 and it's been almost 10 years
Rico bring the energy every vid 😂💪🏽
Think about it. Every last clone gets armor that fits perfectly and is never the wrong size, they all like the same kinds of food, and a million other problems that usually come with maintaining an army simply aren't an issue. There are drawbacks though; a side effect of the growth acceleration is that while they grow up twice as fast, they get old twice as fast too.
Eventually the clones are replaced/supplemented with more conventional recruiting.
Point of clarification that I’m sure others have touched on. Anakin was 9 in Episode I. Padmé was in her early teens (14-15). This means she is now in her early 20s and he’s 19. Not a significant age difference.
Life long Star Wars fans can be overly critical of these movies, but casual movie fans always seem to really enjoy all these movies. The series I through IX really are a level above your typical Sci-Fi action movies and probably the reason we always expect so much from them.
you were asking abou tthe ages. so in movie 1. ankin was 9 years old, padme was 14, this is 10 years later so anikin is 19 and padme is 24.
and yes. yoda is the grandmaster of all jedi. 800 plus years of training plus the highest midi coutn of anyone other than the chozen one. he is the ultimate master of the light side
Well age is numbers on a spread sheet Ani's 18 , Padmes 24 but hey ho its true forrbidden love and i love the yoda fight brill, them to love-birds kissing scenes and the wedding scene its so sad whats happened to Anakin and Padme
Yoda using the force to grab his lightsaber yes such a badass shot. I do believe the idea is that he conserves energy and more or less uses the force to do what he does in a fight.
I never really thought about that scene in which Obi-Wan tells some dude to rethink his life. He makes him a better person through the force.
Anakin blames Obi-Wan for Shim's death because for 10 years Obi-Wan never let him return to Tatooine to check on her. (Because Jedi aren't suppose have attachments, blah, blah, blah...)
Yeh and both Obi-Wan and Yoda disregarded his dreams even though he is so strong in the force. Never once thinking, maybe we should check in just to see....
Since y'all love exploring Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader... there's a great Star Wars series that explores that, set between this movie and Episode 3, called The Clone Wars. I won't lie; it's long-seven seasons of 22 minute episodes for over 130 episodes in total-so you'll probably be best off just watching a subset of the show. It starts out with a direct-to-DVD movie, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008), which is vital to watch first due to the characters it introduces. After that, well, there's plenty of articles that highlight the best or most important episodes to watch. I will just say that the 4-episode series finale, 7x09 - 7x12, is definitely among the best content Star Wars has ever produced (and, having only seen the movies, y'all haven't _seen_ the best content Star Wars has produced yet). Presuming you plan on eventually watching The Mandalorian show, know that it builds greatly upon the history and storylines established in The Clone Wars series.
Anakin : I killed them all, not just the men, but the women too, and the children. I slaughtered them like animals.
Padme : Alright, marry me.
31:26 After watching the next movie (Episode III) and the Clone Wars and Bad Batch shows, this line has much more meaning than you now understand.
Good soldiers follow orders...
