Are you guys going to do the animated tv series Clone Wars reactions? Some of the best Star Wars stories and really builds Anakin and Obi wan’s characters!
I was gonna ask if you were gonna do all movies and then the clone wars or episodes 1 & 2 then clone wars then 3 but sounds like you already did 3. Seriously though you gotta do the clone wars though it's amazing
Fun fact: Keira Knightly (Sabé, Padmé’s double)bears a striking resemblance to Natalie Portman(Padmé), so much in fact that even Portman's mother could not distinguish between the two on set.
That seems ridiculous and probably a bit of hyperbole. I never could understand how people couldn't look at decoy Queen Amadala and not realize it's obviously not Natalie Portman. Myself and the people who saw this movie with me the first time knew it instantly.
@@theshadowfax239 simply because no one expected it. There was never a hint a decoy ever existed. So you aren’t looking for the decoy or telling the actresses apart. It’s when she reveals it that you notice it more.
"Fear leads to the Dark Side" is so misunderstood. Nobody says that Jedi shouldn't feel fear. Or anger for that matter. But the shouldn't let it control them. It should be understood, worked out and contained You can see it with Maul vs Obi-Wan. Kenobi is angry at death of Qui-Gon and that almost sends him down the hole. Only after composing himself, letting go and working through that anger, he manages to prevail and bisect Maul Scene with Anakin is an example of that too. Jedi sense he fears losing his mother, they try to ask him about it but he deflects. He's not willing to talk about it, face that fear, share and work through it. Which is kinda understandable given he is with strangers but they're elevating him for the important decision. Someone who doesn't want to be truthful and bottles up his emotions gonna be a disaster in a long run. He is also attached to his mom so Jedi are reluctant to take him in. And in the end Anakin's fear would be the catalyst to various atrocities
The Jedi were also controlled by fear, even if they didn't realize it. They're initially; reluctance to take Anikin in because of their fear of Anikin being attached to his mother and worry of losing her. This led to Anikin having a hard time growing up in the Jedi temple and amplified his later issues, and were unable to properly help Anikin deal with them when he was young.
@@DinoCam1795 Not really. If they were controlled by fear they wouldn't have trained him in the first place because as Yoda said he's afraid of him going to Dark Side. Instead Yoda decides to allow to train him despite the fear and throughout franchise we see them trying to help him. Like assigning padawan to him was a training for letting attachments go, something Anakin needed Anakin had hard time because of three factors. Palpatine is first. The fact that Jedi Council treated him like normal Jedi when his situation was different is second. Third is Anakin's himself not listening to masters who give him advice and following pretty bad decisions. Throughout prequels we repeatedly see him lying, going behind Council's back and constantly breaking the code he swore to uphold. Honestly Anakin wasn't really suited to be a Jedi with his background but Qui-Gon kind of forced their hand there
Spoilers in case any commenters are experiencing the prequels for the first time: the entire point of this trilogy is to show the fall of the Jedi. The Clone Wars era Jedi are the Jedi at their worst, they're arrogant and complacent and have forgotten the true meaning of their order. The Jedi _should_ be teaching their students to process their negative emotions without letting them control them, that's what they used to teach in the past, instead they mostly teach repression. When Anakin goes to Yoda because he's afraid Padme is dying, Yoda basically just tells him "accept that she's going to die and get over it", which causes him to go to Palpatine for help.
@@Neutral_Tired That is simplistic because Yoda's advice is one of the topics that are considered right by the whole saga. He advises to let go and train to control the fear of losing someone dear to you. Anakin disregards this advice and his fears lead to suffering and tragedy. More than that Anakin is deliberately omits information and lying in this scene to Yoda because he's unwilling to share the truth. Attachment leads to greed and it's greed that keeps Anakin from telling the truth because he both wants to be a Jedi and have Padme. Yoda can't give actual advice if he doesn't know the whole picture In this scene the point is Anakin is one in the wrong as this is part of his fall. His flaws prevent him from heeding useful advice. Advice that every piece of Star Wars media preaches. Attachment was bad in Prequels, in OT, in Mandalorian and etc For the record it is true that Jedi is presented as complacent and arrogant but that's not about their training. In fact throughout Clone Wars we see multiple Jedi trying to teach and help Anakin in their own ways and give good advice. It's mostly about how Jedi treat the whole conflict with the Sith, allowing them to have upper hand and playing into their hands, not questioning suspicious things like Clone Army That can be seen when Yoda is talking with Qui-Gon in RotS
@@Titanfell-d3i in the original trilogy, I'm pretty sure the entire galaxy is saved by Luke refusing to give up his attachment to his father, despite the advice of Obi-wan and Yoda. Both Luke and Leia also fall in love and have kids (admittedly, this is in the EU and thus not canon anymore but it was canon when the prequels were made) and that isn't presented as a bad thing. And if you do want to look at Disney canon, in Star Wars Rebels, both Ezra and Kanan are at their best when defending the people they love. What Anakin did wrong wasn't having attachments, it was holding on to those attachments too tightly. He was traumatised by his childhood of slavery and the death of his mother and nobody in the Jedi order was equipped to help him deal with that, especially since they would've kicked him out it he'd talked to any of them about that trauma and how it was affecting him. Honestly, the entire crisis could've been averted if Padmé had found a therapist unaffiliated with the Jedi order to send Anakin to. Someone he could ask for help without fearing they'll abandon him if he tells them too much.
Colin McGreggor, pilot in teh Royal Air Force (United Kingdom). Dennis Lawson, their uncle, British actor (I can point at "New Tricks" as one TV show I know he was in), played Wedge Antilles. Ewan's own daughter, Esther, had a small speaking part in the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" show, playing a spice dealer in episode 2.
The reason Qui-gon didn't disappear like Obi-wan and Yoda is explained in the Clone Wars series. I highly highly recommend watching that show as it adds so much context to the prequel era and is some of the best Star Wars out there.
@@justsomebody-1665 Spoilers Ahead! He only knew how to project his voice before Maul ended up killing him because he didn't finish developing the technique. He did however tell Yoda during the Clone Wars how to project his body.
Nah, maybe the best animated 3D show from Star Wars, because the Tartakowsky Clone Wars exist. In my opinion, the show is very overrated, and there are more better storys than it, like the Star Wars Republic comics, The Thrawn Thrilogy, Darth Bane Thrilogy, The X-wing Novels. The show is fine, it has a lot of fun archs but it also has some bad ones. You cannot judge the show just by it's best parts. Also, this show poorly showed us the war, Anakin is some war criminal and has no resemblance to his Attack of the Clones character. But if you like it, it is your opinion. Like I said, it's fun, but I kinda feel that it is overrated.
Just some clarification, The Jedi disappearing at death is something Jedi have to learn, And even have a small time frame to do so after death. At some point Yoda and Obi-Wan learned it and guided Vader when he died, It's also this specific power that allows them to become force ghosts.
Yeah, Yoda tells Obi-Wan something along the lines of "Your old master seems to have found the way to eternal life", I think at the end 2 or maybe 3 idk we'll see when it happens
Anakin being The Chosen One helped him become a Force ghost as well. It would make no sense if the one who restored balance in the Force was unable to become one with the Force.
@EdithCardellini Yes, But I can't remember if it was Canon, May have been in Legends. But if I remember right, It more or less said Obi-Wan and Yoda taught him how to do so right after he died, I'm just repeating what I've been told.
@@elyjah9388 In Canon Qui gon teaches Yoda near the end of TCW though it took qui gon time to appear fully, as at first he could only manifest as a voice and only in places strong with the force, and Yoda tells obi wan, and then in Kenobi we see qui gon meet obi wan while fully visible.
Fun fact. Deleted scene for the pod race shows and announced every single pod racer. The blue guy that blows up in the cave also had his wife with their 3 kids come watch him. one of the kids was a newborn.
The "rat tail" of Obi Wan shows that he is a padawan learner, an apprentice, not a Jedi Knight yet. The final fight, sounding "Duel of the fates", it´s one of the best in the franchise for me. Legendary.
@@SonicMegaKing Pure jobless energy you mean, because only if I had literally NOTHING better to do would I commit that much time and energy to something so dumb
Hasn't the whole "Jake Loyd bullying" already been disproven by him and his mother? I remember reading (or watching) about both of them talking about it some time ago, explaining that his decision to stop acting was due to other reasons.
Ewan Mcgregor (prequel Obi Wan/TRUE Obi Wan) is actually the nephew of the actor who played Wedge Antilles (one of Luke's X Wing pilot buddies in the original trilogy), and has actually stated that A New Hope was the first movie he ever saw in theaters (at like 4 years old or roundabouts), because his uncle was in the movie. So this man has star wars in his very dna. Also, he has admitted that himself and a lot of other prequel trilogy actors nearly ruined shots because they couldn't stop themselves from making the whirring sounds of the lightsabers with their mouths during fight scenes.
After having experienced a decade of watching people hate on the Prequels non-stop to the point it became a meme as well as rarely seeing anyone besides myself openly stating they enjoyed the Prequels (granted, considering I know the results of doing so, I can understand why Prequel-lovers usually kept it to themself), it's just so nice to see people openly and genuinely praise and enjoy these moves.
I love the prequels. Phantom Menance being my favorite but I love all 3. To be honest, if the people who hate the prequels are going to go as far as bullying the actors, then I do not want to be a part of that group. I mean I'm sure there are others who hate the prequels who don't resort to bullying but just knowing there are people who hate them that resort to that makes it hard to agree with their reasons for not liking them.
Right? The Prequels are super fun. Sometimes they have thet B-Movie vibe, sure, but the music, the visuals, the ideas... The whole "Sith are cunning" idea fits way better than any other. It's not Game of Thrones, but it's enjoyable to see the moves. Plus, the prequels have most of the good lightsaber battles. Most other movies or shows just suck balls at that. All in all, the Prequels have all the things I love about Star Wars, but added some not-great intrigues and cheesiness that I also love!
I grew up in the prequels, absolutely loved them. They are flawed, but they are so much better than the sequels. After the sequel trilogy came out, it became ok to like and appreciate the prequels. Also, the memes are somewhat from a place of love as well.
I couldn't care less who knew that I liked the prequels. I enjoy the original saga all throughout~ Obviously they have their flaws at times, but its still so enjoyable, in my opinion. And definitely much better than the sequel trilogy. None of the actors deserved any hate or bullying whatsoever simply for playing a character that "fans" may have disliked, like Jar Jar or even young Anakin. (Still baffles me how there could be so much hate on a dang kid...) Anyways, Ik Ahmed Best went through heaps of depression and even thoughts of "seppuku" (I don't think I can say the actual word cuz I think RUclips censors certain words in the comment sections). Thankfully, he's still alive and well, he played a character and host for a Star Wars kids "game show" of sorts, but then played said character in an interesting cameo where he was showed off as a badass~ I think they made it up to Ahmed nicely, at the very least~ I wish the same could be said about Jake Lloyd...
For the record, only one guy died during the podrace, Rates Tyrell, poor bastard died with his family attending. What's interesting is that one of his sons goes on to create a foundation after his father to increase safety awareness for the sport. Podracing isn't too deadly but more safety is good
A few fun facts: 1. The pod race scene is an homage to the Chariot Race in Ben-Hur (1959). 2. The children's choir singing at the end are singing the Emperor's theme in a different octave. So while it looks like a happy scene, there is an underlying darkness. John Williams is a freakin genius. 3. The Duel of the Fates isn't gibbersih being sung, but It turns out, there's a story behind them. It started with an archaic poem written in Welsh called Cad Goddeu, or Battle of the Trees in English. The poem is about a Welsh magician who animates trees to be his army. The poem was translated into English by a man named Robert Graves. Enter John Williams. I'm not sure why he chose that translated poem or how he stumbled across it, but he did. He chose lines 32-35 of the translated poem which read: Under the tongue root a fight most dread, and another raging behind in the head Now obviously this is probably a loose translation, because it has been modified to rhyme, like the original poem does in Welsh. John Williams then translated this into a variety of languages, finally settling on Sanskrit, because he liked the "quality of the vowels", as well as it's resemblance to a religious chant. Note that John Williams arranged the translation by ear, rearranged some of the syllables, etc, so the actual original meaning is lost. Here is his pseudo-translation into Sanskrit (or rather, the pronunciation, not the Sanskrit characters): Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah Khara Rath Amah Yuddha Khara Khara Syada Rath Amah Dai Ya Khara Ki La Dan Ya Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah Khara Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah Khara Now we're starting to get some resemblance to the modern lyrics. Because of the modifications mentioned above, this doesn't make any grammatical sense, but a rough word-by-word transliteration into English is as follows: Dreadful head dreadful speak give Dreadful speak give battle dreadful Dreadful raging speak give purify going Dreadful like taking separate going Loss like taking dreadful speak give Raging like taking dreadful speak give Dreadful separate going dreadful speak give Dreadful separate going dreadful speak give Loss like taking dreadful speak give Raging like taking dreadful speak give Dreadful Dreadful head dreadful speak give Dreadful separate going dreadful speak give Loss like taking dreadful speak give Raging like taking dreadful speak give Dreadful Really cheery, isn't it? It only mentions the word "dreadful" 20+ times. Anyway, the Sanskrit pseudo-translation was then even further modified: The spelling and pronounciation was changed, several words were combined or even changed, to yeild the lyrics to the Duel of the Fates. It is a battle over Anakin's fate that ends with Qui-Jon's death.
It's also worth noting that the parade at the end shot-for-shot mirrors the parade scenes in _The Fall of The Roman Empire_ and _Ben-Hur_ , in order to draw parallels between the Roman Empire's collapse and the Republic's. There's even a few buildings in the background designed to look almost identical. That's the great thing about cinema, the thing that George always found so fascinating; it's like a language, you can communicate ideas without words, and referencing something can be done for a greater purpose than just 'hey, you saw that movie too, right?'
Jedi are allowed to feel emotions and frequently do. The jedi philosophy teaches you to not act upon them. To see beyond your emotions and act from a place of logic and reasoning. Part of the reason the council belived Anakin too old to be trained is because they believed that attachment to a singular being would inevitably lead to you putting that individual ahead of the greater good. They believed that if Anakin were put in the position were he could for example save a building full of people from exploding or save his mother, he would choose his mother.
You must act upon some emotion, otherwise you'd have no reason to help anyone. So the question becomes not whether you should act on emotion, but to what extent you should take it into account. Perhaps their real philosophy is to consider your emotions, but not to make rash decisions based on them - analyse your emotions and possible conflicts between them in order to decide what you really think before making a final decision. As well as determine which of your emotions come from selfishness and which from a desire to help others.
I remember hearing that as the in universe reason the rebel ships are so blocky and the prequel ships are more sleek. The rebellion had to pump them out as fast as they could and went with function over form.@xDarthSTYXx
@@UNKNOWNTIGER118-c7z Mostly right. The Rebellion didn't have resources to build ships. Everything they used was old and second-hand. That's why they used Y-Wings that were older than the ones used during the Clone Wars.
There's also the fact that the Separatists army was heavily droid/machine based, so trusting in technology that advanced was low for the average citizen after the Clone Wars.
To be fair, the jedi weren't saying that a normal person doesn't have a right to be emotional, angry, fearful, attached, or old. They're saying that their own apprentices are specifically those without those particular traits. It's a club for specific individuals, they can make whatever rules they want.
If star wars the clone wars does win the poll to replace Danny Phantom, I hope to god that they use an episode guide. Some of the episodes are just out of order. Like you could be in season 2 watching something, but its not till season 4 when you see the beginning or conclusion to that episode in season 2.
It suck how much bullying the kid who played young Anakin got after this movie. His carrer was destroyed, and things only got worse from there. Jake Lloyd didn't deserve this.
Interesting tidbit bit about Obi-Wan’s Final assault on Maul, they had to overcrank the camera which means slow the footage down because both Ewan and Ray (Obi and Maul) were moving so fast that George thought no one would believe the fight.
Since Jedi aren't allowed to have attachments, force-sensitive children are taken away from their families as infants, so between one and three years old. However, if I'm not mistaken, the family of that infant must consent.
You are not mistaken. The family is given the choice to either give up the child and allow them to become a Jedi, or they could keep them and not have them trained.
they actually don't need the consent of parents. The jedi order, have a monopoly on force sensitive individuals, and the management and mining of kurtosis ore. The order can take close to any child from their family legally, ofc they don't go around gestapo style, but they are shady as hell when it comes to recruitment. And legally right, does not mean it's their go to
@@gampie13Legally they can take any force-sensitive child but they don't exercise that law and give every family a choice, then leave if family doesn't agree
1:11:01 one of my favorite details in the The Old Republic MMO is that the “rest” ability for the Jedi Consular class is “Meditate” and it copies Qui Gon’s pose and the Sith Inquisitor “Seethe” copies Darth Mauls pacing back and forth from this scene.
That child's choir during the big ceremony at the end are singing a variation of the Emperor's theme from Return of the Jedi... the idea behind that was, "Yes, it's a celebration, the good guys won this battle... but the Sith, the titular phantom menace, are the real winners, because all this was to set up Palpatine getting elected as the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate."
@@NotSaturn66 He never did. He was always only the body. Now the voice of Maul is Sam Witwer and in the movie, it was Peter Serafinowicz. He had whole 3 lines
He totally does. When he did the mo-cap for Maul in the Clone Wars series finale, apparently he was moving too fast for the computers to catch it, and they had to make him slow down 😂 Dude is too OP
That makes their relationship feel more unconvincing in Attack of the Clones because Anakin is 19 and Padme is 24 and you can clearly see the mental maturity difference. Padme already a senator doing high level work and this creepy 19 year old kid keeps telling her that he dreams about her and doesnt know how to talk to her. Not to mention they have opposite political beliefs and don't really know each other at that point in time. So when she says "I truly...deeply...love you" it comes out of left field and feels unnatural 😅🤮
So it used to be canon that Maul was insanely good with a single bladed lightsaber but used the double bladed one out of pure ego. Which is why he bodies obi-wan after he goes down to a single blade.
Prequels always nostalgic for me as growing up we had the films on vcr and dvd. Dad would put it on and order Pizza Hut or domino’s and we would eat in the living room. The only time we would ever do that.
In the book it explained that Watto used a loaded dice so he knew he used force but, also knew he couldn't prove it since most people had never seen a jedi.
The force itself is still exactly what it was originally said to be. It's an energy force that surrounds and binds all living things together. The midichlorians are just a symbiotic organism that allows living beings to understand and connect to the force
1:11:03 they retconned an explanation for that by meditating Quiagon was recharging his energy. Darth Maul was also recharging by pacing Obi should have meditated
Another fun fact about this is in the Star Wars MMO, SWTOR, they used these same two stances as an homage to the movie. You can rest outside of combat to restore your health and energy. If you are a Jedi you sit on the ground just like Qui-Gon. If you are a Sith you angrily pace back and forth just like Darth Maul. These abilities are called "Meditate" and "Seethe" respectively.
@@razzyrazberries I just saw Sam Witwer interview he got the role of Starkillerin Force Unleashed game because when he had ask to do a meditation scene to make a light saber he look really angry while meditating he did it four times always angry until someone asked him why. Sam said my character is a Sith. Vader would never have taught his apprentice how to meditate because to meditate is to bring balance to the force. The Sith dont balance the Sith bend the force to their will.
The year was 1999. I was 15 and had been a die hard fan of star wars since discovering it at 10. We're approaching the climax of the movie, and as the hangar doors open, Duel of the Fates kicks in as there stands Maul. As he prepares the face off against Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, he lights his blade. It's such a simple thing, but words cant describe the joy of seeing a double-bladed lightsaber being presented for the first time on screen. My inner child has been chasing that emotional high in media for years lol.
The reason windu said "there's always two of them" is because in the sith traditions there's always a master and an apprentice, and if the apprentice kills the master they take their position and have the right to have an apprentice
At this point yes, old republic the sith were as numerous as the jedi and lost. As Yoda say's in the novelization "The jedi have spent ten thousand years training to fight the last war while the Sith have spent that time preparing to win the next one."
Congratulations to the guy on the left for realizing that Palpatine is Darth Sideous. Very few pick up on that, even though that pan and focus in on Palpy is so obvious a reveal.
What they say about anger, fear, and all negative emotions is not just that you're not supposed to feel them, it's more like you're not supposed to delve into them, or keep them. You are allowed to feel and experience emotions just don't keep them in if they are not good.
Naboo is probably my favorite Star Wars location. Its grassy green plains, European-influenced architecture, and underwater Gungan city are visually beautiful, and such a contrast to so many of the very harsh environments we are so used to seeing. It also shows how far filmmaking had come since the original movies. They always seemed restricted by technological limitations, so all the worlds they created needed to be simplified to "desert planet" or "ice planet." There was no CGI back then, so the types of settings that were possible were limited by what the production could present through practical means, either by filming on location or on a physically built sound stage. But once we get to Phantom Menace, they were able to use CGI to create any kind of environment they wanted and render worlds like Naboo that have much more diverse climates and topography.
We are finally here, the prequel trilogy! You guys are gonna witness how Anakin became Darth Vader in this trilogy. Also, this movie has introduced the most iconic song ever written "Duel of the Fates!"
Great reaction video! I absolutely love the Prequels and Revenge of the Sith is my all time favorite Star Wars film. So much to love about them... The symbolism and thematics, the lore expansion, the art design on everything, the superior and complex duels, the Shakespearean style storytelling (as you look at the PT as a whole). I-VI are all perfect in my eyes. That's real Star Wars to me... Aka George Lucas Era Star Wars.
I like to believe, because the Empire controlled every industry, as an Empire does, the dip in technology or personal design is probably from standardization of the industrial sector of the galaxy, consisting of the core and midrim.
completely agree. In the prequels, each location looks and feels unique, whereas in the original, it feels less so, apart from a few planets like hoth where there is a little difference shown
Fun Fact, if you pause at 25:36 in this video, the guy with the yellow stripe on his face is actually Quinlan Vos, a Jedi who constantly takes undercover missions that are often denied publicly by the Jedi. He has always been on the side of good, but has always struggled to not fall to the Dark Side. He even teamed up with Ventress in very good story called The Dark Disciple, which was going to be adapted into an animated Clone Wars arc, but was cut when the project sold.
So to put in perspective, this movie is 32 years before Episode 4(32 BBY to 0 ABY) while the Galactic Republic was founded 20,000 years ago from 0 ABY and hyperspace travel was invented 25,000 years from 0 ABY. Jedi have been around for nearly as long as the Republic as Galactic peace keepers, finding Force gifted children at a young age(1--3 years old) to join the Order.
The English-speaking announcer at the pod race is voiced by Greg Proops. He used to be a semi-regular on Who's Line Is It Anyway? and has done some other voice work, including two voices in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
@@rhysjordan6753 Ian McDiarmid played Palpatine in Return of the Jedi at age 37 and then returned for all of the prequels and Rise of Skywalker, if you mean whoever played him for his brief lines on a holovid call in empire strikes back then you are correct
I saw all of the original Star Wars movies in the theater when I was a kid. I was 12 or 13 when Return of the Jedi came out. We never thought that there would ever be another Star Wars movie made ever again. So, when Phantom Menace came out, everybody was stoked like crazy. When Phantom Menace came out, it was a little over 1 month before my 29th birthday, to give you an idea of how long a wait it was for us. I was in the theater with my friends and the whole place was completely packed. When the line, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." appeared on the screen, the whole place erupted. I've never seen anything like it. The whole place just went crazy. Cheering and whistling and everybody just loving that they were getting more Star Wars. The atmosphere was the best ever to watch this movie. I actually had a friend who introduced me to Star Wars when it first came out. He loved movies so much (his mom drove us to the movies every weekend for years) and he loved Star Wars so much that he went to film school and ended up working on the prequels on Skywalker Ranch in San Rafael. He literally got live his dream.
Dule Of Fates has got to be one of the greatest lightsaber fights in all of satarwars it is just perfect. The visuals, choreography, and the music is absolutely phinominal.
I’m glad a lot of the fandom has changed on the prequels. I adore these movies. And we getting closer to clone wars and other shows, god I am excited 😅
I honestly think part of its cause enough time has. Pass and we got worse with Disney ones this is what haooens when something gets so more fans will have more ideasnon what they wsnt out of it and hate when company's don't listen
@@ellehcimbelle Well alot of the OG fans are getting older and yeah I assume some are gone now but overall I do think when the phantom menace came that was about the only thing to compare to the Originals and the 70s kids who were like 35 by then didn't feel much connection to it
1:20:10 some notes on yoda personality. this is remastered, in the original yoda is still a puppet, not a cgi model. so for the puppet the voice actor is told to do this and that so the puppeteers try to match the puppets body language to the voice actor tone. in remaster it is kinda off since again its now a a voice that was suppose to match with puppet movement is now match with a cgi model.
As I vaguely recall pre-disney (they changed a lot and I"m not sure if they did that to this) Obi Wan was taught how to become one with the force on death (the fading away) by Qui Gon's spirit while watching over Luke on Tattoine and passed that knowledge on to Yoda. The reason Qui Gon didn't was that he hadn't fully mastered the knowledge and technique till after he died.
Spoilers ahead! The Clone Wars addresses this and has Qui Gon teach it to Yoda by projecting his voice through the force since he wasn't able to learn how to become a force ghost before he was killed. Yoda then presumably teaches it to Obi Wan off screen before Revenge of the Sith.
I love how the original trilogy’s title crawls are all about setting up how scary the empire is or the call to adventure, and Episode 1’s title crawl starts out with “Look out there’s taxation!”
Fr I just imagine all the excited kids going to see phantom menace in theaters for the first time, just to be met with a wall of text about taxes and trade routes. Talk about a hype killer.
It's one line. And that context is important. _War_ always starts with something like that. If you don't bother to explain that sort of thing, you just get The Force Awakens, which doesn't bother to explain _anything_ .
1:17:34 to 1:17:50 As for why Quin-Gon didn't fade like Ben and Yoda did in the original trilogy, I'd give a bit of an explanation but that might be spoilers. So all I'll say to Boom's explanation is, yes and no. It goes a bit deeper than that, and its explained more in Clone Wars the animated series' Season 6.
So fun fact: Mace Windu (Sam Jackson’s character) was originally going to be played by Tupac, but unfortunately he was murdered before they started filming
@@ScooterBond1970 the Hut territory is in the Fringe worlds they are outside the galactic republic in "uncivilized" space so Jabba is pretty openly operating. It is why Annakin was not found young. He was born outside galactic law/Jedi jurisdiction. The Huts are essentially a government of their own. In the clone wars expanded universe both sides were trying to get their support And since the Huts were still operating in the original trilogy means the Huts are powerful enough that the empire would expend more effort to take them out than they are worth.
The scene where the guy points his fingers down at the podrace... 38:27 I remember back in the late 70's or early 80's when some fan would be doing the same gesture at professional football games and it was briefly shown on TV.
If you wanna see more Maul content you gotta get into The Clone Wars, like you don't gotta watch the whole thing but there's like Roadmaps on Kotatu and such you can follow and you can follow the Maul arc to find out what his whole "deal" is, I promise it's not gonna be cringe, I know its a kids show but the Clone Wars does Maul super well.
38:37 Do y'all have The Mask (1994) on your list of random movies to watch? Because I think all of you would probably enjoy it! Also, I agree y'all should watch The Fifth Element, and I'd like to recommend Stargate (1994).
Two of my favorite Qui-Gon Jinn lines in this movie are: "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent" (So useable for so many people in real life) "There's always a bigger fish."
Darth Maul was played by actor Ray Park who was also Toad in the first X-men film, and Snake Eyes in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra 09 & Retaliation 2013. But Maul was voiced by Peter Serafinowicz the Sommelier in John Wick 2, the roommate in Shaun of the Dead, and was the 2nd person to play a live action Tick in The Tick 2016 series.
1:17:25 It's not explained in the movies but Jedi only fade away when they've undergone very specific training to become force ghosts afterwards. Qui Gon was the first Jedi in ages to begin this training, but didn't complete it before he died. Anakin was able to become one with the help of Obi Wan's force ghost.
Jar Jar hate was from a classic comedy mistake. You can have a serious character in silly situations, or a silly character in serious situations. But you cannot have a silly character in silly situations, which is exclusively what Jar Jar was. Voice and dialog didn't really help either
I only wish my brain can be as carefree from years of being blitzed like Ruff's to not only tolerate but actually like Jar Jar's antics and not see him as anything but tonal whiplash or blatant "for the kids" BS from George. Absolutely nothing against Ahmed Best or even Jake Lloyd to mention some cringe lines and delivery; they only did as was written and directed. That is always my biggest issue with the prequels: lots of style but little substance, George gets more budget to do more cool stuff but also more freedom and liberty that allows in dumb or poorly executed shit that holds them back from genuinely surpassing the OT.
Liam Neeson, my favorite Jedi along with OT Luke, signed on to this film as soon as they approached him. He didn't even read the script! He also has kept his prop lightsabre handle. He's also, I believe, the only other actor outside of Sir Christopher Lee who has actually praised the use of filming on blue screen. One of them said it forces the actor to act with more imagination in mind and I really like that twisting mindset.
The "There is always two of them" stems from a time far before the High Republic (present time for the first two movies), from the era of Darth Bane's rule over the Sith. As I recon, he made the rule up for two major reasons: 1. The Sith always ended up in-fighting when there was a lot of them, since their whole principle is the pursuit of power 2. He wanted to be the one and only master, at least for his time Someone will have to correct / expand on what I've said, anyhow, I believe
People had a problem with the midicloriens but fail to know that George had the idea of them for the original but could figure out how to really introduce the lore into the movies. So he forced it into the prequels
The "midiclorian rating" to measure a Jedi's level is , honestly, one of the dumbest things Lucas has ever come up with. The prequels' writing was bad enough as it was, already 🤨
To be honest I never understood why people hate the midiclorians so much, it’s not like they ARE the force, they’re just a way of measuring how connected to the force someone is. I like having a bit of science backing up all the fantasy magic stuff.
It's so nice to see a reaction like this! I've seen so many reactors getting angry and suspicious of Anakin's every move or word and saying that whatever he says or does just screams evil cause they know what he becomes, when I truly believe it's supposed to be just like you fellas said, you are supposed to see him as the total opposite as to what he ends up becoming and wondering what happened
The main character of TPM is Padme; it's her planet at stake, and her quest to free it. TPM is the most 'standalone' of the three prequels, with a fairly contained plot that falls mostly to that. The main character of the trilogy is Anakin, but as far as TPM is concerned he has no character arc and no real goal.
The overall story arc of Episodes I through VI concerns the rise, fall & redemption of Anakin, but if you take into account Luke Skywalker's hero journey and the decades of Expanded Universe continuity featuring him, then he becomes the primary character of the saga. In fact, if you look at early Star Wars media from the late 1970's and early 1980's, you will often see in small print the words "From the adventures of Luke Skywalker." The droids - - as important as they may be in story - - are ultimately witnesses and storytellers who sustain memory of all the major events.
Jar Jar was going to be the sith lord until the fan backlash towards him forced George to change his plans. In this movie JAR JAR is suspicious as all hell.
Please react to the Gendy Clone Wars miniseries! Not the 3d animated one, but the 2d one. It's super short, I think it's only like an hour or two of total runtime, and it's amazing.
E.T. movie is part of the Star Wars universe. You can see it when E.T. sees the kid dressed as Yoda in the Halloween outfit in the street scene, and when E.T. sees him he starts saying “Home! Home!”. And some say that in the scene when they start flying in the bycicles, it’s E.T. using the Force. I find that interesting.
Ironically, people complained that the Phantom Menace’s special effects were bad because it didn’t use “Muh prakrikal effucts” but it actually used a decent amount of practical effects; maybe even more so than the Original Trilogy.
While I'll never say I think the prequels are good, I definitely think there are good ideas and good scripts hidden in them. I definitely think these ones could always have used a couple of rewrites and little tweaks to the story. There are good things to like in the prequels, and I do think they get progressively better in each next movie. The best thing is, of course, Ian Mcdiarmid as Palpatine. I just wish this trilogy was better.
I think they got a little too excited with the CGI as well, it allowed for massive battles without the trouble of getting a truckload of extras, costumes, makeup, props, choreography, et cetera, so they just went for it. I much prefer the slower pace and smaller scope of A New Hope
@@pabloc8808 These movies pioneered CGI to this extent. there wasn't a defined 'too much' and many directors etc learned from these movies and continued to revolutionise it from this point

This is my favorite fun fact from this movie

@@theshadowfax239 simply because no one expected it. There was never a hint a decoy ever existed. So you aren’t looking for the decoy or telling the actresses apart. It’s when she reveals it that you notice it more.
"Fear leads to the Dark Side" is so misunderstood. Nobody says that Jedi shouldn't feel fear. Or anger for that matter. But the shouldn't let it control them. It should be understood, worked out and contained
You can see it with Maul vs Obi-Wan. Kenobi is angry at death of Qui-Gon and that almost sends him down the hole. Only after composing himself, letting go and working through that anger, he manages to prevail and bisect Maul
Scene with Anakin is an example of that too. Jedi sense he fears losing his mother, they try to ask him about it but he deflects. He's not willing to talk about it, face that fear, share and work through it. Which is kinda understandable given he is with strangers but they're elevating him for the important decision. Someone who doesn't want to be truthful and bottles up his emotions gonna be a disaster in a long run. He is also attached to his mom so Jedi are reluctant to take him in. And in the end Anakin's fear would be the catalyst to various atrocities
The Jedi were also controlled by fear, even if they didn't realize it. They're initially; reluctance to take Anikin in because of their fear of Anikin being attached to his mother and worry of losing her. This led to Anikin having a hard time growing up in the Jedi temple and amplified his later issues, and were unable to properly help Anikin deal with them when he was young.
@@DinoCam1795 Not really. If they were controlled by fear they wouldn't have trained him in the first place because as Yoda said he's afraid of him going to Dark Side. Instead Yoda decides to allow to train him despite the fear and throughout franchise we see them trying to help him. Like assigning padawan to him was a training for letting attachments go, something Anakin needed
Anakin had hard time because of three factors. Palpatine is first. The fact that Jedi Council treated him like normal Jedi when his situation was different is second. Third is Anakin's himself not listening to masters who give him advice and following pretty bad decisions. Throughout prequels we repeatedly see him lying, going behind Council's back and constantly breaking the code he swore to uphold.
Honestly Anakin wasn't really suited to be a Jedi with his background but Qui-Gon kind of forced their hand there
Spoilers in case any commenters are experiencing the prequels for the first time:
the entire point of this trilogy is to show the fall of the Jedi. The Clone Wars era Jedi are the Jedi at their worst, they're arrogant and complacent and have forgotten the true meaning of their order. The Jedi _should_ be teaching their students to process their negative emotions without letting them control them, that's what they used to teach in the past, instead they mostly teach repression. When Anakin goes to Yoda because he's afraid Padme is dying, Yoda basically just tells him "accept that she's going to die and get over it", which causes him to go to Palpatine for help.
@@Neutral_Tired That is simplistic because Yoda's advice is one of the topics that are considered right by the whole saga. He advises to let go and train to control the fear of losing someone dear to you. Anakin disregards this advice and his fears lead to suffering and tragedy. More than that Anakin is deliberately omits information and lying in this scene to Yoda because he's unwilling to share the truth. Attachment leads to greed and it's greed that keeps Anakin from telling the truth because he both wants to be a Jedi and have Padme. Yoda can't give actual advice if he doesn't know the whole picture
In this scene the point is Anakin is one in the wrong as this is part of his fall. His flaws prevent him from heeding useful advice. Advice that every piece of Star Wars media preaches. Attachment was bad in Prequels, in OT, in Mandalorian and etc
For the record it is true that Jedi is presented as complacent and arrogant but that's not about their training. In fact throughout Clone Wars we see multiple Jedi trying to teach and help Anakin in their own ways and give good advice. It's mostly about how Jedi treat the whole conflict with the Sith, allowing them to have upper hand and playing into their hands, not questioning suspicious things like Clone Army
That can be seen when Yoda is talking with Qui-Gon in RotS
@@Titanfell-d3i in the original trilogy, I'm pretty sure the entire galaxy is saved by Luke refusing to give up his attachment to his father, despite the advice of Obi-wan and Yoda. Both Luke and Leia also fall in love and have kids (admittedly, this is in the EU and thus not canon anymore but it was canon when the prequels were made) and that isn't presented as a bad thing. And if you do want to look at Disney canon, in Star Wars Rebels, both Ezra and Kanan are at their best when defending the people they love.
What Anakin did wrong wasn't having attachments, it was holding on to those attachments too tightly. He was traumatised by his childhood of slavery and the death of his mother and nobody in the Jedi order was equipped to help him deal with that, especially since they would've kicked him out it he'd talked to any of them about that trauma and how it was affecting him.
Honestly, the entire crisis could've been averted if Padmé had found a therapist unaffiliated with the Jedi order to send Anakin to. Someone he could ask for help without fearing they'll abandon him if he tells them too much.
FUN FACT Ewan McGregor Obiwan has a brother who is a pilot his squadmates gave him the call sign Obi two
And their uncle played Wedge in the OG trilogy!
Obi Two KenoA
His REAL daughter was in Kenobi! too
Colin McGreggor, pilot in teh Royal Air Force (United Kingdom).
Dennis Lawson, their uncle, British actor (I can point at "New Tricks" as one TV show I know he was in), played Wedge Antilles.
Ewan's own daughter, Esther, had a small speaking part in the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" show, playing a spice dealer in episode 2.
Most reactors never even recognize Wedge as the same character after A New Hope
The reason Qui-gon didn't disappear like Obi-wan and Yoda is explained in the Clone Wars series. I highly highly recommend watching that show as it adds so much context to the prequel era and is some of the best Star Wars out there.
Basically, he hadn't invented that yet. lol
@@justsomebody-1665 Qui-gon so cool he invented the force ghost after he was already dead.
@@justsomebody-1665 Spoilers Ahead!
He only knew how to project his voice before Maul ended up killing him because he didn't finish developing the technique. He did however tell Yoda during the Clone Wars how to project his body.
It's also partially in Revenge of the Sith and a deleted scene in the same film.
Nah, maybe the best animated 3D show from Star Wars, because the Tartakowsky Clone Wars exist. In my opinion, the show is very overrated, and there are more better storys than it, like the Star Wars Republic comics, The Thrawn Thrilogy, Darth Bane Thrilogy, The X-wing Novels. The show is fine, it has a lot of fun archs but it also has some bad ones. You cannot judge the show just by it's best parts. Also, this show poorly showed us the war, Anakin is some war criminal and has no resemblance to his Attack of the Clones character. But if you like it, it is your opinion. Like I said, it's fun, but I kinda feel that it is overrated.
Just some clarification, The Jedi disappearing at death is something Jedi have to learn, And even have a small time frame to do so after death. At some point Yoda and Obi-Wan learned it and guided Vader when he died, It's also this specific power that allows them to become force ghosts.
Yeah, Yoda tells Obi-Wan something along the lines of "Your old master seems to have found the way to eternal life", I think at the end 2 or maybe 3 idk we'll see when it happens
@@dgm3052 end of episode 3 and end of season 6 of clone wars is connected to the scene.
Anakin being The Chosen One helped him become a Force ghost as well. It would make no sense if the one who restored balance in the Force was unable to become one with the Force.
@EdithCardellini Yes, But I can't remember if it was Canon, May have been in Legends. But if I remember right, It more or less said Obi-Wan and Yoda taught him how to do so right after he died, I'm just repeating what I've been told.
@@elyjah9388 In Canon Qui gon teaches Yoda near the end of TCW though it took qui gon time to appear fully, as at first he could only manifest as a voice and only in places strong with the force, and Yoda tells obi wan, and then in Kenobi we see qui gon meet obi wan while fully visible.
The actor who played Jar Jar also got bullied to the point where he was so depressed he considered suicide. Fandom can be so toxic at times.
It really can. I dont understand bullying the actors. Like I don’t like the sequels but I’m not going to take that out on the actors.
But, he’s still alive.
Sadly the fandom is still like this and is definitely the worst part about modern Star Wars
Fun fact. Deleted scene for the pod race shows and announced every single pod racer. The blue guy that blows up in the cave also had his wife with their 3 kids come watch him. one of the kids was a newborn.
Aww, I never knew that! That's so dang depressing... ;w;"
The duality of man ^
The "rat tail" of Obi Wan shows that he is a padawan learner, an apprentice, not a Jedi Knight yet. The final fight, sounding "Duel of the fates", it´s one of the best in the franchise for me. Legendary.
The bullying Ahmed Best and Jake Lloyd (Jar Jar and young Anakin) got from "fans" for years after this movie aired was absolutely disgusting.

Hasn't the whole "Jake Loyd bullying" already been disproven by him and his mother? I remember reading (or watching) about both of them talking about it some time ago, explaining that his decision to stop acting was due to other reasons.
@@henriquecesardesouzasilva8766 I mean, his conviction for high speed car chase and his paranoid schizophrenia didn't come from nowhere.
Ewan Mcgregor (prequel Obi Wan/TRUE Obi Wan) is actually the nephew of the actor who played Wedge Antilles (one of Luke's X Wing pilot buddies in the original trilogy), and has actually stated that A New Hope was the first movie he ever saw in theaters (at like 4 years old or roundabouts), because his uncle was in the movie. So this man has star wars in his very dna. Also, he has admitted that himself and a lot of other prequel trilogy actors nearly ruined shots because they couldn't stop themselves from making the whirring sounds of the lightsabers with their mouths during fight scenes.
That’s what I believe in.
George himself said to him and Hayden, “Boys, we’ll add those in later”
After having experienced a decade of watching people hate on the Prequels non-stop to the point it became a meme as well as rarely seeing anyone besides myself openly stating they enjoyed the Prequels (granted, considering I know the results of doing so, I can understand why Prequel-lovers usually kept it to themself), it's just so nice to see people openly and genuinely praise and enjoy these moves.
I love the prequels. Phantom Menance being my favorite but I love all 3. To be honest, if the people who hate the prequels are going to go as far as bullying the actors, then I do not want to be a part of that group. I mean I'm sure there are others who hate the prequels who don't resort to bullying but just knowing there are people who hate them that resort to that makes it hard to agree with their reasons for not liking them.
Right? The Prequels are super fun. Sometimes they have thet B-Movie vibe, sure, but the music, the visuals, the ideas... The whole "Sith are cunning" idea fits way better than any other. It's not Game of Thrones, but it's enjoyable to see the moves.
Plus, the prequels have most of the good lightsaber battles. Most other movies or shows just suck balls at that.
All in all, the Prequels have all the things I love about Star Wars, but added some not-great intrigues and cheesiness that I also love!
I grew up in the prequels, absolutely loved them. They are flawed, but they are so much better than the sequels. After the sequel trilogy came out, it became ok to like and appreciate the prequels. Also, the memes are somewhat from a place of love as well.
I grew up with the OT but I loved the prequels. The way I looked at it was "at least it's not the Holiday Special."
I couldn't care less who knew that I liked the prequels. I enjoy the original saga all throughout~ Obviously they have their flaws at times, but its still so enjoyable, in my opinion. And definitely much better than the sequel trilogy.
None of the actors deserved any hate or bullying whatsoever simply for playing a character that "fans" may have disliked, like Jar Jar or even young Anakin. (Still baffles me how there could be so much hate on a dang kid...) Anyways, Ik Ahmed Best went through heaps of depression and even thoughts of "seppuku" (I don't think I can say the actual word cuz I think RUclips censors certain words in the comment sections). Thankfully, he's still alive and well, he played a character and host for a Star Wars kids "game show" of sorts, but then played said character in an interesting cameo where he was showed off as a badass~ I think they made it up to Ahmed nicely, at the very least~ I wish the same could be said about Jake Lloyd...
For the record, only one guy died during the podrace, Rates Tyrell, poor bastard died with his family attending. What's interesting is that one of his sons goes on to create a foundation after his father to increase safety awareness for the sport. Podracing isn't too deadly but more safety is good
Another thing. People saying Hayden was monotone in ep 2 and 3, Natalie and Keira being much more monotone in this first one, just saying.
A few fun facts:
1. The pod race scene is an homage to the Chariot Race in Ben-Hur (1959).
2. The children's choir singing at the end are singing the Emperor's theme in a different octave. So while it looks like a happy scene, there is an underlying darkness. John Williams is a freakin genius.
3. The Duel of the Fates isn't gibbersih being sung, but It turns out, there's a story behind them. It started with an archaic poem written in Welsh called Cad Goddeu, or Battle of the Trees in English. The poem is about a Welsh magician who animates trees to be his army. The poem was translated into English by a man named Robert Graves.
Enter John Williams. I'm not sure why he chose that translated poem or how he stumbled across it, but he did. He chose lines 32-35 of the translated poem which read:
Under the tongue root
a fight most dread,
and another raging
behind in the head
Now obviously this is probably a loose translation, because it has been modified to rhyme, like the original poem does in Welsh. John Williams then translated this into a variety of languages, finally settling on Sanskrit, because he liked the "quality of the vowels", as well as it's resemblance to a religious chant. Note that John Williams arranged the translation by ear, rearranged some of the syllables, etc, so the actual original meaning is lost. Here is his pseudo-translation into Sanskrit (or rather, the pronunciation, not the Sanskrit characters):
Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah
Khara Rath Amah Yuddha Khara
Khara Syada Rath Amah Dai Ya
Khara Ki La Dan Ya
Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah
Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah
Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Khara
Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah
Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah
Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Khara
Now we're starting to get some resemblance to the modern lyrics. Because of the modifications mentioned above, this doesn't make any grammatical sense, but a rough word-by-word transliteration into English is as follows:
Dreadful head dreadful speak give
Dreadful speak give battle dreadful
Dreadful raging speak give purify going
Dreadful like taking separate going
Loss like taking dreadful speak give
Raging like taking dreadful speak give
Dreadful separate going dreadful speak give
Dreadful separate going dreadful speak give
Loss like taking dreadful speak give
Raging like taking dreadful speak give
Dreadful
Dreadful head dreadful speak give
Dreadful separate going dreadful speak give
Loss like taking dreadful speak give
Raging like taking dreadful speak give
Dreadful
Really cheery, isn't it? It only mentions the word "dreadful" 20+ times. Anyway, the Sanskrit pseudo-translation was then even further modified: The spelling and pronounciation was changed, several words were combined or even changed, to yeild the lyrics to the Duel of the Fates. It is a battle over Anakin's fate that ends with Qui-Jon's death.
But by this point, it is pretty much gibberish being sung
Forgot the Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman debacle on set 😂😂😂
It's also worth noting that the parade at the end shot-for-shot mirrors the parade scenes in _The Fall of The Roman Empire_ and _Ben-Hur_ , in order to draw parallels between the Roman Empire's collapse and the Republic's. There's even a few buildings in the background designed to look almost identical.
That's the great thing about cinema, the thing that George always found so fascinating; it's like a language, you can communicate ideas without words, and referencing something can be done for a greater purpose than just 'hey, you saw that movie too, right?'
@@Mega-Brick I did not know about that. Thank you for sharing that information with me.
Duel of the fates is about the Ents? Hell yes!!!
Jedi are allowed to feel emotions and frequently do. The jedi philosophy teaches you to not act upon them. To see beyond your emotions and act from a place of logic and reasoning. Part of the reason the council belived Anakin too old to be trained is because they believed that attachment to a singular being would inevitably lead to you putting that individual ahead of the greater good.
They believed that if Anakin were put in the position were he could for example save a building full of people from exploding or save his mother, he would choose his mother.
You must act upon some emotion, otherwise you'd have no reason to help anyone.
So the question becomes not whether you should act on emotion, but to what extent you should take it into account.
Perhaps their real philosophy is to consider your emotions, but not to make rash decisions based on them - analyse your emotions and possible conflicts between them in order to decide what you really think before making a final decision. As well as determine which of your emotions come from selfishness and which from a desire to help others.
Clone Wars Obi Wan did show so much emotion towards one person, too bad he didn’t get to fall in love with her

@@UNKNOWNTIGER118-c7z Mostly right. The Rebellion didn't have resources to build ships. Everything they used was old and second-hand. That's why they used Y-Wings that were older than the ones used during the Clone Wars.
There's also the fact that the Separatists army was heavily droid/machine based, so trusting in technology that advanced was low for the average citizen after the Clone Wars.
To be fair, the jedi weren't saying that a normal person doesn't have a right to be emotional, angry, fearful, attached, or old. They're saying that their own apprentices are specifically those without those particular traits. It's a club for specific individuals, they can make whatever rules they want.

Since Jedi aren't allowed to have attachments, force-sensitive children are taken away from their families as infants, so between one and three years old. However, if I'm not mistaken, the family of that infant must consent.
You are not mistaken. The family is given the choice to either give up the child and allow them to become a Jedi, or they could keep them and not have them trained.
they actually don't need the consent of parents. The jedi order, have a monopoly on force sensitive individuals, and the management and mining of kurtosis ore. The order can take close to any child from their family legally, ofc they don't go around gestapo style, but they are shady as hell when it comes to recruitment. And legally right, does not mean it's their go to

the"may the force be with you" "oh fuck off!" is one of my favorite ruff moments ever haha
That child's choir during the big ceremony at the end are singing a variation of the Emperor's theme from Return of the Jedi... the idea behind that was, "Yes, it's a celebration, the good guys won this battle... but the Sith, the titular phantom menace, are the real winners, because all this was to set up Palpatine getting elected as the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate."

So it used to be canon that Maul was insanely good with a single bladed lightsaber but used the double bladed one out of pure ego. Which is why he bodies obi-wan after he goes down to a single blade.
Prequels always nostalgic for me as growing up we had the films on vcr and dvd. Dad would put it on and order Pizza Hut or domino’s and we would eat in the living room. The only time we would ever do that.
And you’d order the Bigfoot with loads of pepperoni.
the way every lightsaber battle just slams its way into whatever the hell's happening at any given time is something I deeply respect
In the book it explained that Watto used a loaded dice so he knew he used force but, also knew he couldn't prove it since most people had never seen a jedi.
The force itself is still exactly what it was originally said to be. It's an energy force that surrounds and binds all living things together. The midichlorians are just a symbiotic organism that allows living beings to understand and connect to the force
1:11:03 they retconned an explanation for that by meditating Quiagon was recharging his energy.
Darth Maul was also recharging by pacing
Obi should have meditated
Another fun fact about this is in the Star Wars MMO, SWTOR, they used these same two stances as an homage to the movie. You can rest outside of combat to restore your health and energy. If you are a Jedi you sit on the ground just like Qui-Gon. If you are a Sith you angrily pace back and forth just like Darth Maul. These abilities are called "Meditate" and "Seethe" respectively.
@@razzyrazberries I just saw Sam Witwer interview he got the role of Starkillerin Force Unleashed game because when he had ask to do a meditation scene to make a light saber he look really angry while meditating he did it four times always angry until someone asked him why.
Sam said my character is a Sith. Vader would never have taught his apprentice how to meditate because to meditate is to bring balance to the force. The Sith dont balance the Sith bend the force to their will.
That's so stupid. They're not video game characters.
The year was 1999. I was 15 and had been a die hard fan of star wars since discovering it at 10. We're approaching the climax of the movie, and as the hangar doors open, Duel of the Fates kicks in as there stands Maul. As he prepares the face off against Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, he lights his blade. It's such a simple thing, but words cant describe the joy of seeing a double-bladed lightsaber being presented for the first time on screen. My inner child has been chasing that emotional high in media for years lol.
My dad likes darth maul.
The reason windu said "there's always two of them" is because in the sith traditions there's always a master and an apprentice, and if the apprentice kills the master they take their position and have the right to have an apprentice
At this point yes, old republic the sith were as numerous as the jedi and lost. As Yoda say's in the novelization "The jedi have spent ten thousand years training to fight the last war while the Sith have spent that time preparing to win the next one."
34:53 Warwick Davis played the ewok that befriend princess Leia when he was a kid, I believe it was his first acting role
I love how hyped ruff gets for these movies.
Ruff, another fun fact: the Queen's decoy was played by Keira Knightley aka Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean
That’s what I find out from this year.
Congratulations to the guy on the left for realizing that Palpatine is Darth Sideous. Very few pick up on that, even though that pan and focus in on Palpy is so obvious a reveal.
@48:13, if you go back and watch them again, ive found that 4,5,1,2,3,6 is a great watch order
This is where the fun begins.
What they say about anger, fear, and all negative emotions is not just that you're not supposed to feel them, it's more like you're not supposed to delve into them, or keep them. You are allowed to feel and experience emotions just don't keep them in if they are not good.
Not spoilers (not revealed in any of the movies), but Palpatine's first name is Sheev.
Naboo is probably my favorite Star Wars location. Its grassy green plains, European-influenced architecture, and underwater Gungan city are visually beautiful, and such a contrast to so many of the very harsh environments we are so used to seeing. It also shows how far filmmaking had come since the original movies. They always seemed restricted by technological limitations, so all the worlds they created needed to be simplified to "desert planet" or "ice planet." There was no CGI back then, so the types of settings that were possible were limited by what the production could present through practical means, either by filming on location or on a physically built sound stage. But once we get to Phantom Menace, they were able to use CGI to create any kind of environment they wanted and render worlds like Naboo that have much more diverse climates and topography.
We are finally here, the prequel trilogy! You guys are gonna witness how Anakin became Darth Vader in this trilogy. Also, this movie has introduced the most iconic song ever written "Duel of the Fates!"
Great reaction video! I absolutely love the Prequels and Revenge of the Sith is my all time favorite Star Wars film. So much to love about them... The symbolism and thematics, the lore expansion, the art design on everything, the superior and complex duels, the Shakespearean style storytelling (as you look at the PT as a whole). I-VI are all perfect in my eyes. That's real Star Wars to me... Aka George Lucas Era Star Wars.
I like to believe, because the Empire controlled every industry, as an Empire does, the dip in technology or personal design is probably from standardization of the industrial sector of the galaxy, consisting of the core and midrim.
completely agree. In the prequels, each location looks and feels unique, whereas in the original, it feels less so, apart from a few planets like hoth where there is a little difference shown
the empire were extremely against aliens and were pro human. Meaning they cut themselves off from an entire galaxy worth of creativity and skills.
Fun Fact, if you pause at 25:36 in this video, the guy with the yellow stripe on his face is actually Quinlan Vos, a Jedi who constantly takes undercover missions that are often denied publicly by the Jedi. He has always been on the side of good, but has always struggled to not fall to the Dark Side. He even teamed up with Ventress in very good story called The Dark Disciple, which was going to be adapted into an animated Clone Wars arc, but was cut when the project sold.
42:48
I'm so happy they showed that poster
It's my favourite poster of all time along with back to the future
To this day, few duels surpass Obiwan and Quigon vs Darth Maul.
Truly the Duel of the Fates.
The fate of the light and dark side.
34:53 _Willow_ was also the guy that played the main Ewok in the 6th episode !
Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) was the best casting for the Prequel Trilogy imo. 💙 💜
So to put in perspective, this movie is 32 years before Episode 4(32 BBY to 0 ABY) while the Galactic Republic was founded 20,000 years ago from 0 ABY and hyperspace travel was invented 25,000 years from 0 ABY. Jedi have been around for nearly as long as the Republic as Galactic peace keepers, finding Force gifted children at a young age(1--3 years old) to join the Order.
I'm glad you're going in this open-minded.
Your reaction to the OT was a blast. I hope you're gonna enjoy the Prequels, too.
The English-speaking announcer at the pod race is voiced by Greg Proops. He used to be a semi-regular on Who's Line Is It Anyway? and has done some other voice work, including two voices in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
"Palaptine was the dude in the last movie right?" 🤔
Literally everyone else: 😏
The way they both look at him has me rolling
lol it’s even the same actor…
@@dekulruno its not the same actor? the original emperor was played by someone else and then was dubbed over by another
@@rhysjordan6753 Ian McDiarmid played Palpatine in Return of the Jedi at age 37 and then returned for all of the prequels and Rise of Skywalker, if you mean whoever played him for his brief lines on a holovid call in empire strikes back then you are correct
@@dekulruno sorry yes thats what i was referring to, looking back now I forgot that they replaced it with Ian in later re-releases
I saw all of the original Star Wars movies in the theater when I was a kid. I was 12 or 13 when Return of the Jedi came out. We never thought that there would ever be another Star Wars movie made ever again. So, when Phantom Menace came out, everybody was stoked like crazy. When Phantom Menace came out, it was a little over 1 month before my 29th birthday, to give you an idea of how long a wait it was for us.
I was in the theater with my friends and the whole place was completely packed. When the line, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." appeared on the screen, the whole place erupted. I've never seen anything like it. The whole place just went crazy. Cheering and whistling and everybody just loving that they were getting more Star Wars. The atmosphere was the best ever to watch this movie. I actually had a friend who introduced me to Star Wars when it first came out. He loved movies so much (his mom drove us to the movies every weekend for years) and he loved Star Wars so much that he went to film school and ended up working on the prequels on Skywalker Ranch in San Rafael. He literally got live his dream.
Dule Of Fates has got to be one of the greatest lightsaber fights in all of satarwars it is just perfect. The visuals, choreography, and the music is absolutely phinominal.
1:16:50
Ruff out here thinking he was watching the prequels' Vader when he was actually watching the prequels' Boba Fett. With the reaction to match 😂
I’m glad a lot of the fandom has changed on the prequels. I adore these movies. And we getting closer to clone wars and other shows, god I am excited 😅
I honestly think part of its cause enough time has. Pass and we got worse with Disney ones this is what haooens when something gets so more fans will have more ideasnon what they wsnt out of it and hate when company's don't listen
i honestly think it's coz the older fans who hated it have literally died off or gotten to old to use the internet lmao
@@ellehcimbelle Well alot of the OG fans are getting older and yeah I assume some are gone now but overall I do think when the phantom menace came that was about the only thing to compare to the Originals and the 70s kids who were like 35 by then didn't feel much connection to it
Most OG fans are either dead or have better things to do than argue about movies from the 90's (hopefully).
1:20:10 some notes on yoda personality. this is remastered, in the original yoda is still a puppet, not a cgi model. so for the puppet the voice actor is told to do this and that so the puppeteers try to match the puppets body language to the voice actor tone. in remaster it is kinda off since again its now a a voice that was suppose to match with puppet movement is now match with a cgi model.
As I vaguely recall pre-disney (they changed a lot and I"m not sure if they did that to this) Obi Wan was taught how to become one with the force on death (the fading away) by Qui Gon's spirit while watching over Luke on Tattoine and passed that knowledge on to Yoda. The reason Qui Gon didn't was that he hadn't fully mastered the knowledge and technique till after he died.
Spoilers ahead!
The Clone Wars addresses this and has Qui Gon teach it to Yoda by projecting his voice through the force since he wasn't able to learn how to become a force ghost before he was killed. Yoda then presumably teaches it to Obi Wan off screen before Revenge of the Sith.
None of this is explained in the movies and thus completely irrelevant imho
22:45 yeah dude, you're right.
The.... Happening and the empire taking over, plus the jedi..... Kinda made the galaxy regress😅
24:54
The phantom Menace takes place 32 years before episode 4, A new hope
19:59 I had Phantom Menace on VHS as a kid, and this somehow was one of my favorite scenes, starting at Qui-Gon saying he's taking them to Coruscant.
I love how the original trilogy’s title crawls are all about setting up how scary the empire is or the call to adventure, and Episode 1’s title crawl starts out with “Look out there’s taxation!”
Do you not think getting taxed is scary. Even The Joker is afraid of the IRS!
It does highlight how different the galaxy was during this period.
Fr I just imagine all the excited kids going to see phantom menace in theaters for the first time, just to be met with a wall of text about taxes and trade routes. Talk about a hype killer.
It's one line. And that context is important. _War_ always starts with something like that. If you don't bother to explain that sort of thing, you just get The Force Awakens, which doesn't bother to explain _anything_ .
@@Mega-Brick Force Awakens had a more exciting title crawl then this
34:52 Warwick Davis, he was also that first Ewok Leia met right after the speeder bike chase.
I consider The Phantom Manace overhated
It is, really. I donøt know why so many hated this movie.
I don't get why the phantom menace is hated either. I always loved watching it as a kid
Yeah, I would say Attack of the Clones was my least favorite of the trilogy.
@@Lupinemancer87probably because they thought it was too different from what the original trilogy was which is a stupid reason
It’s better than 2 and 3 at least
1:17:34 to 1:17:50 As for why Quin-Gon didn't fade like Ben and Yoda did in the original trilogy, I'd give a bit of an explanation but that might be spoilers. So all I'll say to Boom's explanation is, yes and no. It goes a bit deeper than that, and its explained more in Clone Wars the animated series' Season 6.
So fun fact: Mace Windu (Sam Jackson’s character) was originally going to be played by Tupac, but unfortunately he was murdered before they started filming
59:30 the decoy was played by Keira Knightley from the Pirates of the Caribbean films.
Jabba is the head of the Hut Cartel but its a family syndicate like the mob Jabba has family members in different positions
He most likely also has a front or public image as a legit businessman or some such, like your classic depiction of a mob boss.
@@ScooterBond1970 the Hut territory is in the Fringe worlds they are outside the galactic republic in "uncivilized" space so Jabba is pretty openly operating. It is why Annakin was not found young. He was born outside galactic law/Jedi jurisdiction.
The Huts are essentially a government of their own. In the clone wars expanded universe both sides were trying to get their support
And since the Huts were still operating in the original trilogy means the Huts are powerful enough that the empire would expend more effort to take them out than they are worth.
The scene where the guy points his fingers down at the podrace... 38:27 I remember back in the late 70's or early 80's when some fan would be doing the same gesture at professional football games and it was briefly shown on TV.
If you wanna see more Maul content you gotta get into The Clone Wars, like you don't gotta watch the whole thing but there's like Roadmaps on Kotatu and such you can follow and you can follow the Maul arc to find out what his whole "deal" is, I promise it's not gonna be cringe, I know its a kids show but the Clone Wars does Maul super well.
38:37 Do y'all have The Mask (1994) on your list of random movies to watch? Because I think all of you would probably enjoy it!
Also, I agree y'all should watch The Fifth Element, and I'd like to recommend Stargate (1994).
Two of my favorite Qui-Gon Jinn lines in this movie are:
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent" (So useable for so many people in real life)
"There's always a bigger fish."
Another great Qui Goin line is "Your focus determines your reality".
@@JessAnderson1988
All his philosophical moments were gold, honestly
@@rainbowpegacornstudios Very true, one of the reasons Qui Gon is one of my favorite Jedi!
@@JessAnderson1988
He's one of mine, too. I really love how he was willing to defy the Jedi Council to train Anakin in The Force.
@@rainbowpegacornstudios Yep, love that he was kind of a rebel within the Jedi Order!
Darth Maul was played by actor Ray Park who was also Toad in the first X-men film, and Snake Eyes in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra 09 & Retaliation 2013. But Maul was voiced by Peter Serafinowicz the Sommelier in John Wick 2, the roommate in Shaun of the Dead, and was the 2nd person to play a live action Tick in The Tick 2016 series.
Having a go at him for not picking up Natalie Portman was a more important character, but the decoy Queen is played by Kiera Knightly lol
I just have to say I almost died choking on water when he said “held together better than a Boeing” 😂
YEA LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE THE PREQUELS
Phantom menace is my fav of the prequels
Qui-Gon IS the prequels’ Han Solo.
Clone wars show, Clone wars show!
Currently being voted on by our patreon supporters 😁
This is my favorite trilogy of the series and nothing will change that. I saw it in theaters at 8 years old and I was my first starwars movie.
The choreography of these three movies (Especially Revenge of the Sith) is fantastic! 💜
1:17:25 It's not explained in the movies but Jedi only fade away when they've undergone very specific training to become force ghosts afterwards. Qui Gon was the first Jedi in ages to begin this training, but didn't complete it before he died. Anakin was able to become one with the help of Obi Wan's force ghost.
Jar Jar hate was from a classic comedy mistake. You can have a serious character in silly situations, or a silly character in serious situations. But you cannot have a silly character in silly situations, which is exclusively what Jar Jar was. Voice and dialog didn't really help either
I only wish my brain can be as carefree from years of being blitzed like Ruff's to not only tolerate but actually like Jar Jar's antics and not see him as anything but tonal whiplash or blatant "for the kids" BS from George.
Absolutely nothing against Ahmed Best or even Jake Lloyd to mention some cringe lines and delivery; they only did as was written and directed. That is always my biggest issue with the prequels: lots of style but little substance, George gets more budget to do more cool stuff but also more freedom and liberty that allows in dumb or poorly executed shit that holds them back from genuinely surpassing the OT.
25:06 some species are actually immune to the Jedi mine trick
Liam Neeson, my favorite Jedi along with OT Luke, signed on to this film as soon as they approached him. He didn't even read the script! He also has kept his prop lightsabre handle. He's also, I believe, the only other actor outside of Sir Christopher Lee who has actually praised the use of filming on blue screen. One of them said it forces the actor to act with more imagination in mind and I really like that twisting mindset.
The "There is always two of them" stems from a time far before the High Republic (present time for the first two movies), from the era of Darth Bane's rule over the Sith.
As I recon, he made the rule up for two major reasons:
1. The Sith always ended up in-fighting when there was a lot of them, since their whole principle is the pursuit of power
2. He wanted to be the one and only master, at least for his time
Someone will have to correct / expand on what I've said, anyhow, I believe
People had a problem with the midicloriens but fail to know that George had the idea of them for the original but could figure out how to really introduce the lore into the movies. So he forced it into the prequels
Could've just introduced them literally the same way they're introduced here. Blood test. The gift of hindsight I suppose.
I'm sure that's what he said...
The "midiclorian rating" to measure a Jedi's level is , honestly, one of the dumbest things Lucas has ever come up with.
The prequels' writing was bad enough as it was, already 🤨
There are several ways the series was improved by telling George Lucas "no"
To be honest I never understood why people hate the midiclorians so much, it’s not like they ARE the force, they’re just a way of measuring how connected to the force someone is. I like having a bit of science backing up all the fantasy magic stuff.
It's so nice to see a reaction like this! I've seen so many reactors getting angry and suspicious of Anakin's every move or word and saying that whatever he says or does just screams evil cause they know what he becomes, when I truly believe it's supposed to be just like you fellas said, you are supposed to see him as the total opposite as to what he ends up becoming and wondering what happened
Anakin is Canonicaly the main character
Wrong, it's obviously R2-D2
You've been misinformed R2 D2 is the actual main character, it's an easy mistake to make
False.
R2-D2 is the true main character and the Sequel Trilogy was R2 passing the torch to BB-8
The main character of TPM is Padme; it's her planet at stake, and her quest to free it. TPM is the most 'standalone' of the three prequels, with a fairly contained plot that falls mostly to that. The main character of the trilogy is Anakin, but as far as TPM is concerned he has no character arc and no real goal.
The overall story arc of Episodes I through VI concerns the rise, fall & redemption of Anakin, but if you take into account Luke Skywalker's hero journey and the decades of Expanded Universe continuity featuring him, then he becomes the primary character of the saga. In fact, if you look at early Star Wars media from the late 1970's and early 1980's, you will often see in small print the words "From the adventures of Luke Skywalker." The droids - - as important as they may be in story - - are ultimately witnesses and storytellers who sustain memory of all the major events.
Jar Jar was going to be the sith lord until the fan backlash towards him forced George to change his plans. In this movie JAR JAR is suspicious as all hell.
Please react to the Gendy Clone Wars miniseries! Not the 3d animated one, but the 2d one. It's super short, I think it's only like an hour or two of total runtime, and it's amazing.
E.T. movie is part of the Star Wars universe. You can see it when E.T. sees the kid dressed as Yoda in the Halloween outfit in the street scene, and when E.T. sees him he starts saying “Home! Home!”. And some say that in the scene when they start flying in the bycicles, it’s E.T. using the Force. I find that interesting.
Ironically, people complained that the Phantom Menace’s special effects were bad because it didn’t use “Muh prakrikal effucts” but it actually used a decent amount of practical effects; maybe even more so than the Original Trilogy.
That doesn't make sense. Did CG even exist when the originals were made? You can't count re-releases.
Anakin said in your face whatever you are
While I'll never say I think the prequels are good, I definitely think there are good ideas and good scripts hidden in them. I definitely think these ones could always have used a couple of rewrites and little tweaks to the story. There are good things to like in the prequels, and I do think they get progressively better in each next movie. The best thing is, of course, Ian Mcdiarmid as Palpatine. I just wish this trilogy was better.
I think they got a little too excited with the CGI as well, it allowed for massive battles without the trouble of getting a truckload of extras, costumes, makeup, props, choreography, et cetera, so they just went for it. I much prefer the slower pace and smaller scope of A New Hope
@@pabloc8808 These movies pioneered CGI to this extent. there wasn't a defined 'too much' and many directors etc learned from these movies and continued to revolutionise it from this point
Couldn't have said it better myself
25:36 the guy in the background with the yellow stripe across his face is Jedi Quinlan Vos.
