Not many people enjoy the political side of Star Wars, but personally I enjoy it. You did a great job highlighting the politics throughout The Clone Wars!
Literally most fans, if not all, enjoy it because it's an integral part of franchise they love. How can you speak for others anyway? Don't try to stand out, you are not special or unique in this regard
@@HolyknightVader999 Speaking of Littlefinger and Tywin, I'd certainly like to see their actors (Aiden Gillen and Charles Dance respectively) to get involved with Star Wars in the foreseeable future! They'd make for wonderful Imperial Moffs or Sith Lords, right?
@@HolyknightVader999 As intriguing and entertaining that idea would sound, there's a certain "suaveness/political sliminess" to Aiden's characters that I normally wouldn't associate with Thrawn (who has notoriously been bad at politics in both the Chiss Ascendancy and Galactic Empire). Perhaps Aiden might be better suited to play a live action version of a leading member of the Aristocra/Syndicure (from the recent Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy of novels), especially if Disney Plus' New Republic era of Star Wars storytelling intends to bring attention to the Unknown Regions (and the emerging threat of the Grysk Hegemony).
I’ll never understand people that don’t appreciate the political side of Star Wars. It’s one of my favorite aspects of the story. The greed, corruption, fear-mongering and warmongering are direct parallels to things that we see in real life… and it’s a chilling comparison.
What I particularly like about this video is that, unlike most tributes on this subject, it doesn't hyperfocus on Palpatine. Instead, you use the time to focus on the Senate, the Senators, and the Separatists, with Palpatine almost always in the background tying everything together. As Maul might put it, "He is behind everything. In the shadows, always..."
So many people complained about the politics of Star Wars, without realizing how crucial it all was. Palpatine was a brilliant strategist and as much as I hate him, he amazes me. Always three steps ahead.

@samwilsoncaptainamerica233 many have said it, and they all meant it. A famous Athenian philosopher hated it. Because it allowed demagogues to amass power and subvert the system. It was easily exploited, and made for a ship where the captain was at the whim of fools. They meant it, because they could manipulate it
Demagogues like this have destroyed republics for centuries - the framers of constitution, especially Hamilton, knew this and is why we should have never allowed the president to be voted on by popular sovereignty
Really nice video with a good flow. Thanks for uploading. The political side, though boring for many people, is essential in the Star Wars universe. Without it, we cannot see how the Empire got so much power.
Crazy that my algorithm is showing this video to me 3 years later on this day November 7th, 2024. If you are reading this in the future. Know that we tried. We tried to stop it. We tried to show people the truth. Tried to vote for the common good. And we failed. Spirit protect us all.
Amazing video on the politics of the Republic and the Separatists! (there are barely any videos on this issue in Star Wars that not a lot of peope seem to get in the movies (why you should watch CW). It shows why so many planets and star system rejoiced and applaused thunderously for the new Galactic Empire.
@@0RY0N Me too, I loved what Mina Bonteri said to Ahsoka - "That's a very polarized point of view, my dear. Would it surprise you to know that many of the people you call Separatist feel the same way about the Republic? And the Jedi?".
I’m several years out of the Star Wars video making game, but your videos are exactly what I’ve wished I could make. Well done. You’ve gained yourself a subscriber out of me. Can’t wait to see what else you come up with!
After Trump yesterday asking Christians to vote one last time... "after this, if I win, you will never have to vote again... It will be fixed"... 😢 This is how democracy dies... With thunderous applause
1:53 I just noticed: rhigt besides dukus hologram, palpatine is standing! And they are on the same side! I e not watched the episode itself, Only this video, so that explains it!
So I know that the political side of Star Wars was never a lot of people's forte in the franchise. However it really did have a huge play in how the Empire came to be. Sure yes the politics was always being strung by the Emporer himself, and I think even in some instances went opposite than what he was expecting, because of how much control he had in it. But just like Anakin, The Clone, The Droids, etc; had a part in Palpatine's plan towards dominate rule. The politics is where it was shown the hearts and minds of the galaxy and how each system solely affected the rest. I don't understand politics a lot, and probably in some way understand Star Wars more than Earth's, but this tribute can really help those see how much it was a huge aspect to how the events of The OG Trilogy can exist.
This is basically Game of Thrones meets House of Cards. And we had it all back then, even before 2011. Too bad people wanted Lucas gone because PREQUELS BAD.
''palpatine played the games of thrones'' - palpatine played the real game which real dictators in real life play all the time. Draw parallelisms with real life (as Lucas did comparing palpatine with hitler, bonapart etc.), not everything is about GOT...
I never cared much for the political side of Star Wars. It permeated through the prequels. I much prefer the good old fashioned swashbuckling of Han and Chewie!!
We have Star Wars at home...
I'm here because we reached America's Episode 3
Can't wait for A New Hope
I just hope we don’t need to wait 19 years for it-

How can you have a war without there being politics of any form involved?

"Chaos is a ladder", and Palpatine has indeed climbed it successfully!

Conservatives are media illiterate anyway
The politics of Star Wars are underrated as hell. I'm biased of course, but it's true.

Our problem is did we copy Adolf or Stalin or did they copy us first? Putin surely has played this country and the west like a harp from hell.
Glad to find a fellow scholar/smart person
That transition from palpatine speech into all the destruction and chaos as he raises his hand is perfection.
welp, even the algorythm knows...
When Trump said people wouldn't have to vote and people cheered, I was reminded of this quote.
And now… liberty is about to die
So many people complained about the politics of Star Wars, without realizing how crucial it all was. Palpatine was a brilliant strategist and as much as I hate him, he amazes me. Always three steps ahead.
We failed America. We just.. failed
Star wars is prophetic

We've only failed if we stay quiet.
True 😢

I LOVE DEMOCRACY..
Such a legend line
How many politicians have said it and how many have meant?

It's a story as old as time, I just hope we have the strength and spirit to see us through now
America.... "A long time ago, in a parallel galaxy, far, far, away..."
And this is where America Stands today, We need to stop Arch-Nemesis Trump.
😢
@@LawTzuTao It's okay, we must stand together to keep democracy.
get off the internet
The smug look on palpatine’s face after barriss says that the republic is failing
So glad I'm not the only "Jedi" that came here seeking refuge and coping with the truth of our reality.
George Lucas predicted what would happen almost like a prophecy very sad indeed
He knew Trump would win?
Demagogues like this have destroyed republics for centuries - the framers of constitution, especially Hamilton, knew this and is why we should have never allowed the president to be voted on by popular sovereignty
what makes you think donald trump is tyrannical?

History repeats itself, unfortunately. That's why.
Long live the empire.
Kinda gave me chills towards the end, awesome stuff.

This was awesome! You showed the politics of the Clone Wars really well. Great stuff man
All his videos send chills down ny body
I don’t like getting political, but this is badass
I hope youve gotten political seeing what one side would love to do to us all.
With thunderous applause, the earth fell in line.
This is a top tier starwars edit. Literally made my whole day
Even though the prequels came out during the Bush administration, it’s so relevant today.
Epic, is the only name for this video. I never believed that Palpatine speech could be improved, but this video makes that.
Crazy that my algorithm is showing this video to me 3 years later on this day November 7th, 2024.

time to go into exile in the next swamp
Hey SCOTUS, I think I've seen this somewhere before
Ah? Can you point me where pls?
So no one finds it ironic how this mirrors today especially in the US
It's as someone said, "George Lucas held a mirror to America's face, and we broke the mirror and walked away."
Said thunderous applause was missing which i find a strange omission
Best thing about this cartoon is that it’s political side is so reflective of real life politics.
This is awesome. I know a lot of people complain that TPM/the prequels were too political but it was one of my favorite aspects, actually.
After Trump yesterday asking Christians to vote one last time... "after this, if I win, you will never have to vote again... It will be fixed"... 😢 This is how democracy dies... With thunderous applause

Does it surprise you to learn that the attack of the clones specifically were an analogy for the war in the Middle East started in 2001?
