Watch Part 2: ruclips.net/video/uxeaE4WAw0g/видео.html
It's hilarious to me that almost without fail, men who watch star wars episode 1 for the first time don't notice anything odd with Queen Amidala, but every woman who sees it nearly IMMEDIATELY recognizes the switch.
Haha!
One random fact I want to mention here I don't believe many Star Wars fans know is Ewan McGregor IRL is the nephew of Denis Lawson. Lawson was Wedge Antilles in Episodes 4-6. Piloted Red 2 in A New Hope's Battle of Yavin, piloted Rogue 3 in The Empire Strikes back during the Battle of Hoth and Red Leader in Return of the Jedi's Battle of Endor. Was really interested to learn this back in the day.
Yeah I know that me😊🇹🇹
Most SW fans know this.
@@MeanMrMustard1 I am an obsessed freak when it comes to SW lore and facts, so maybe my interpretation got blinded by reality among the fanbase. Hard to say. Although casual media watchers probably wouldn’t be as invested.
"I hope there's just one bad guy in this who's as badass as Darth Vader."
Maul: You summoned?
33:18 The voice we're hearing, here, is Greg Proops; a comedian _I_ first became aware of on the improv. comedy show _Whose Line Is It, Anyway?_
Yea when I found that out years ago, I can't unknow that when watching Ep. 1 or when I watch WLIIA.
Thanks for bringing this Star Wars prequel back to my attention. Fantastic reaction. You should do a reaction to Star Wars prequels episodes 2 and 3
My pleasure!! Will definitely react to 2 and 3 right after uploading Part 2 of this reaction 😍
@@ShreeNation Awesome can’t wait to see those reactions !
@ShreeNation Jar Jar's sole purpose in lord sidius's plan rolls out in next film.
When I was in the Army, we had a discussion on whether we would rather have a platoon of Ewoks, or a platoon of Gungans in a battle. We all agreed that we pick Ewoks. They were smarter and make the most of what they have.
Definitely Ewoks. They also don't have the ego of the Gungan lord.
You're right about Naboo looking like Italy; IIRC, most of the Naboo scenes were filmed near Lake Como.
Wow!!
Correction: Lake Como was used in the *next* film, in this film, Seville, Spain was used for the Naboo city scenes.
30:14 "Is there a _way,_ instead of using Republic currency, you can barter _him?"_
😄Damn, Shree.
😆
“I will make it legal.”
If I ever run for public office, that will be my campaign slogan.
"I hope there's one bad guy in here who's as badass as Darth Vader!"
laughs in Darth Maul :D
It's Natalie Portman. And Keira Knightley.
The speech of Jar Jar and others have also been criticized as ethic slurs. There's an internet theory that Jar Jar is Darth Jar Jar, Sith master.
Patience, child. Luke, Leia, storm troopers, and all the rest will appear in time.
There's the stand alone Han Solo movie that's his origin story. It's not well beloved.
And a stand alone Rogue Squadron movie that occurs immediately before Episode 4.
Anakin gets a rat tail at the end. It seems to mark Jedi apprentices.
Fast cars, racing, and dump thrumming hot rods were part of George Lucas's youth in Modesto, California. They also appear in his American Graffiti.
You can find baby pictures of Hitler. He was cute before he could talk.
Personally, I find Jar Jar to be only a mild annoyance, but Ahmed Best (the actor playing him) faced real fan hate wich strongly contributed to his depression. Similar fate was that of Jake Lloyd (little Anakin). He basicly retired from acting becouse of fan backlash.
That's messed up, no actor should face backlash for a character they've played, they didn't create it! 🙄
@@ShreeNation Exactly, it's writer's fault if anything. And George Lucas was actually happy with their performance. On set, he even (supposedly) said to Ahmed that his character will be fan favourite for sure. Poor man, his expectations were utterly crushed.
Ahmed Best is back to acting and even appears in some Star Wars stuff, so thankfully he made it through ok. Jake... let it mess up his life pretty badly. I hope he can get things together.
Hayden should have gotten more hate than the kid. Hayden was so bad. At least the kid had cuteness on his side.
35:01 The guy on the far left played the main Ewok in Return of the Jedi. The Ewok that Princess Leia met after her speeder crashed. The Ewok is called Wicket and the actor is Warwick Davis. He does a lot of cameos in Star Wars films and shows.
A sexy looking ship indeed.. that's why i had the idea for a underrated and like "unknown" disney movie from 1986. Flight of the Navigator. (not animated)
... While searching for his little brother in the woods, the young boy David, falls down a ravine and is knocked unconscious. After what seems like a few minutes, he returns home, only to discover in "his" family house now live total different people in it....police came and he begin to realize.. that eight years have passed since he was declared missing and presumed dead...
Even more mystifying is that David hasn't aged, nor can he account for the time lapse. Meanwhile, NASA officials stumble upon a futuristic spacecraft and are determined to assess what David knows about it by locking him in a top-secret lab for scanning and testing. So David's only hope to find answers is..this silver shaped spacecraft in this secret NASA lab...calling for him.
'Oh, this is a Windows XP wallpaper.' First time hearing something I've thought since the film came out. The better example is later in the film, which I'm sure you'll see.
😄 Can't wait!
Qui-Gon wasn't really gambling because he loves to, he was doing it because it was the only way to "barter" with Watto, and presented an opportunity to get what they needed and a little more. Padme took issue with it, because at the end of the day it was still taking an unusual risk, but he just had a lot of faith in the force & Anakin.
WB doesn’t like negative reactions are reviews of the products. But if they only go after the negative posts, it would be obvious what they were doing. So they go after them all.
That comment would get to long, but here are some points i would like to fix, because there is a likeable movie under all this.. "odd stuff"
- The basic storyline of the Phantom Menace is simple and good: an unseen force is conspiring to take over the Republic.
- This sounds interesting, right? Like Ancient Rome in Space! A mysterious high powered official is trying to take down the government from within.
- Evil space wizards, thought to be extinct! All we need to do is scrape away the confusing and pointless bullshit so the story can "breathe"
- Trim the distractions, bad comedy and bullshit and this movie actually works…
- Darth Maul! Double agents! And a powerful young force user who’s in a unique position to save the day…if you don’t ruin Star Wars along the way.
- Midichlorians ? (ugh), really boring Jedi, lazy dialogue and camera work, no chemistry. Underneath all of this is a good movie waiting to be discovered.
- Points to"fix/improve" Jar Jar Binks.
- Alien Language + subtitles for audience/also for the Trade Federation leads.
- No fooling around/no poop jokes
- More politics about the differences between the Gungan and Naboo people.
- No more "black and white" thinking of the force
- Just 15 Minutes for the Tatooine plot, not 45 min.!
- More ligthsaber fights
- More character building and motivation specially for Darth Maul
- No Medichlorians
...and we might have a good Star Wars movie. I guess.
Great points!
So basically change the identity of the entire movie to have it the way you want it. How about actually talking about the movie we got and ask why he made the movie like this instead of wishing it was what you were expecting or wanting. That’s my problem with most of the criticism. You can not like the movie. That’s totally fine. But to want to change the entire movie completely to fit your preferences is insane to me. Just talk about the movie itself . That’s just me though
Is it just me that has _Airplane!_ flashbacks with every 'Roger Roger'?
I'm not sure if you recognized the voice of the English-speaking head of the track announcer at the pod race, but that's comedian Greg Proops. He's best known for his frequent appearances on the improv show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?".
Around the time this was released, there was also a video game for the Nintendo 64 console that revolved around the pod racing. In addition to the track on Tattooine, it features ones on several other planets as well.
Something to hate: when the captions are turned off, even the needed ones disappear. Also seen in Kill Bill Pt 2
Jar Jar was basically there for his son Jett. The Clone Wars Animated Series kind of redeems Jar Jar a little, Personally I don't mind him.
Apparently there's an edited version of this film floating around on the internet called "The Phantom Edit", which shows that there was a much better film hiding within this one...
Also, Peter Serafinowicz (the voice of Darth Maul) gives a hilarious behind-the-scenes account of the making and premiere of The Phantom Menace: ruclips.net/video/t0wHqNi3x5M/видео.html
Thanks for letting me know 😍
🔔 SHREE: YOU WERE LOOKING AT NATALIE PORTMAN & KEIRA KNIGHTLEY! 😉
Omg!!!
The end of the fight between Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Darth Maul shows the difference between Sith and Jedi very well. When the laser partitions separated Qui Gon and Maul from each other, the Jedi began to meditate, calming down, and the Sith, on the contrary, walked in a rage like a tiger in a cage, filling himself with emotions. And when Obi Wan attacked Maul after the death of his master, you can see that he was filled with rage, which took him out of balance, since this is not the way of the Jedi and he does not know how to handle it, and Darth Maul, being a Sith who has been raised inside the order since childhood, who on the contrary feeds himself with emotions, easily he was defeated and thrown into the mine, and only when Obi Wan was able to calm down and return to balance, he was able to defeat Maul
Nice! I'll definitely rewatch this scene when i upload Part 2. See you in a few hours!
You must have been hungry during the race scene. This reaction is worth the JarJar shade alone LOL! Thanks!
😆😆 Glad you enjoyed! See you in Part 2!
According to George Lucas: "Jar Jar is the key to the whole thing."
"He looks less like a pizza slice and more like a croissant . . . what am I saying? I need to calm down!"
or not watch these movies on an empty stomach, love ;)
😆😆
Ep. 1 is very important and shouldn't be skipped
"Midichlorians? What's that?"
The powerhouse of the Jedi, Shree 😉
I really hate the inclusion of a symbiotic organism that gives access to the Force, and Anakin being space Jesus for no reason 😇
The Force is for everyone
Haha Space Jesus 😆
Everyone has the force but only a select few can actually tap into it. Otherwise there’d be millions of Jedi
'The future is minimalist.' ... what did that opening card say, again?
Don’t skip any. I’m not a big fan of the prequels, but if you’re going to do the series, do it right.
amen
When it came out people thought Lucas had lost the plot and this was a the most horrible thing to come out of Star Wars (there wasn't RUclips yet so most people had not seen The Holiday Special 🤪)
The main problem is that it took from the fairy-tale magic adventure of the first film to make it political intrigued plagued and the whole thing with the midichlorians took away from the whole mystical appeal of the force.
And then, there's Jar Jar Binks, maybe one of the most hated character in cinema history.
Also, no fault of his, but Jake Loyd wasn't the best child actor ever and young Anakin was just not interesting.
I dump on this film a lot, but it does has saving graces for two sequences.
First, the pod race. Just a masterclass.
The second is the three way fight between Qui Gon-Jinn (Liam Neeson), Obi Wan (Ewan Mcgregor) and Darth Maul.
That fight is undoubtedly one of the best choreographed and exciting laser sword fights of the whole franchise.
Neeson and McGregor were great in their roles and brought with them a lot of charisma and are without a doubt the anchors of this film.
Agreed, those fight and racing scenes were incredible! ❤
Well, the pod race was just the chario race scene from Ben-Hur that Goerge liked so much he had to do one himself. Problem is it kinda grinds the plot to a hold and there could've been other ways to reach the same goal.
9:34 Proof Darth Jar Jar is real.
" OH, there's the Window XP wallpaper " 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My soul mate !!!
😄😄
Jar Jar is a parody of Black American English. As in a Blackface Minstral show, Buckwheat from the Lil Rascals etc. That was the controversy at the time & still. Clone Wars Series tried to rehab Jar Jar but it seems that there was no need. Most reactors don’t even note it. A change that is ironic in these times.
but "black american english" is basic southern redneck english in most ways. So making it a racist thing is just stupid.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe. Can't wait for PT 2.
Thanks for watching 😇 See you in Part 2!
You are not wrong about the odd racial implications of Jar Jar.
The only purpose Jar Jar serves in this movie is comedy relief.
Also through some of his comedic moments it gives you secondary information about the other characters
Seeing Anakin Skywalker as a child you find it hard to believe he grew up to be The Dark Lord Of The Sith. This one I liked but it dragged a bit. Jar Jar Binks is hilarious and entertaining as heck! It is worth your time because it is Star Wars, but you may like others in the Trilogy.
George Lucas wrote Star Wars movies to a main target audience of 12 year olds.
Shree
You are not far off of location City of Naboo. Location is Italy, Lake Como.
Shree
Did you noticed Warwick Davis in this movie? Davis aka Wicket was one in the audience laughing at Anakin when his podracer didn't go......
Darth Maul is played by martial artist and stuntman plus actor, Ray Park. Park has portrayed other characters in X-Men and GI Joes movies.
When you see this race in the theater it is most beautiful epicness
I can only imagine 😍
That's true. I'm not a fan of the whole race scene, but it was very epic in the theater.
OH...I've been waiting to share this Epic-Experience with You for a long time!👍I think You'd already finished the Original Trilogy before I'd ever found-&-joined Your Channel, so I'm extra-Excited to finally join You in the beginning of yet-another Trilogy! (LOL) Let My Knowledge-&-Wisdom Guide You, My Beautiful Padawan!😘🙏
Ready to learn and watch more 🥰✌
@@ShreeNation What an odd place to break for Part-1, right at the Start of the Race! (LOL) But that's OK, saves all of the Best moments for Part-2👌and I'll See You there too!!
Oh boy, this is a big one. I'd say Lucas successfully reignited interest for the franchise with all the hype leading to this movie (including Special Editions) and then it came out. It was mega merchandise hit, for sure, but there were a lot of things that didn't go over so well (looking at you, Jar Jar).
I would never skip a film in a series on first watch. But on rewatch, Episode 2 is the one I usually skip. But I tend to skip Episode 5 (my least favorite of originals)... so wtf do I know?
R2 always saves the day
jar jar is the idiotic misunderstanding that ruins the movie. it took me 20 years to come to terms with its existence. after disney bought the franchise, it wasn't that hard anymore - not after the crazy crap they created! quick example: in this movie swords melt armored hatches. in the disney movies and series NOBODY dies from being hit by a sword - they even bounce off the person being hit!!!
As a kid, I enjoyed the lightsaber fights, podracing, etc. As an adult, a lot of stuff bothers me - the overuse of CGI (it will continue 😅), poorly established politics, and overuse of robots so the Jedi can go straight to violence 😬
Strangely, I don't mind Jar Jar (George loves a comedic bit and Jar Jar is basically a clown for children) or Jake Lloyd's acting (George is not good directing adults either 😅), and most of my issues are script based.
I hope you will reflect on Yoda's words from Empire as you watch the actions of these Jedi. I think George's attempt to load the prequels with action paints the Jedi in a rather violent light.
I will definitely rewatch the originals after this :)
You must really hate the sequel trilogy if the writing here bothers you
@@karlmoles6530 Only 7 and 9 (JarJar Abrams creates stories like a child smashing toys together in a sandbox...)
Your reaction to this is delightful and frustrating in about equal parts.I am in the minority of people who actually like this movie. A lot of the criticism of it come from people who are cranky when stories about the Force fail to conform to their own fantasy expectations, and who have no patience with long-form storytelling . In a story whose overall length (the first six episodes) come in at over 13 hours, a couple of hours of exposition and back-story are not unreasonable--particularly when they pay off later. Your disdain of JarJar is...not necessarily misplaced, but I can't say more because Spoilers. I find it interesting that you blithely accept other characters who other critics roundly hate (**cough** Jake Lloyd/Anikin **cough**) and take exception to the supposed racism of some characters' speech while completely ignore others which are much more pointed (I myself do not object to these fantasy characteristizations, but just sayin'). Btw I do enjoy your thoughtful and enthusiastic reaction, it did after all motivate me to write.
Awesome 😎 Star Wars movie 🎥
1. You are so beautiful, Shree. 2. I'm so glad you saw the problems with Jarjar.
Thank you💖🙏
1. Preach it!!!
I saw Star War when I was 10, it changed my life. The audience gave it a standing ovation. This film sorely disappointed me. But the trilogy overall isn't bad. Don't get me started on the Sequel trilogy, it has some of the most awful, inexcusable writing I've ever been subjected too. The first one is mediocre, the next two are insults
So for episode 2 & 3, there are good news and bad news. Good news is there'll be significantly less Jar Jar in those movies! Bad news is, the casting of adult Anakin will be...maybe "polarizing" is how people see it today? (Back then it was more universally panned.)
It's not really polarizing anymore. A vast majority of the fan base, and almost all of the diehard fans love Hayden... he is Anakin and Darth Vader. Maybe not when episode 2 was released, but definitely now. His return in Ahsoka made many, many fans cry. Everyone missed Hayden.
@@CoryGasaway Well maybe 1/3 of bad news then ;) I will admit, my strongest memory of Hayden is from episode two.
New fans don't have this reaction and they seem to love Hayden. Keep in mind, there were huge expectations when these movies came out and the hateful part of the fandom had the loudest voices. Sure, there are some cringey moments but overall Hayden did a good job. I think all you haters need to pay close attention to how new fans interpret these films. They DO NOT have 40 plus years of baggage keeping them from enjoying them. That's why they can enjoy the things that influencers at the time were telling us to hate, because they are not following the influencers. Doing a reaction video for Patreons keeps them honest.
You should watch Star Wars episode one-7
I definitely will :) 4, 5 and 6 reactions are already out 💖
I love this movie. I agree with you about Jar Jar. He's annoying from beginning to end. But the two scenes that make me hate him the most are him starting everything in the with Sebulba. The second he keeps eating everything until Qui Gon stopped him at the Skywalkers who are slaves. The rest is really great.
Anakin is like Jesus Christ. His father is the Force itself.
This movie faced a lot of criticism upon release. For one, Jar Jar was clearly meant to be a comic relief character aimed at kids, but he gets gratingly annoying very quickly. And yes, the Gungans and Trade Federation aliens were criticized for having accents that seemed like racial caricatures. The introduction of midi-chlorians seems to undercut the spiritual meaning of The Force, implying that one's strength in The Force has less to do with how much they believe in it and more to do with biology. The movie also feels much slower paced and involves uninteresting things like trade disputes and Senate hearings. It's often like watching Intergalactic C-SPAN in all the worst ways. And on top of that, the acting is often wooden and the dialogue sounds like it was written by someone unfamiliar with writing dialogue. It does have bright spots though. The production design is visually impressive, the pod race is thrilling, and Darth Maul is an intimidating villain for what little we get of him. And these days, people have lots of nostalgia for the movie, and some of the Disney sequels make Phantom Menace look great by comparison.
I agree with the wooden acting by Liam and Sam both. But I rather enjoy the political aspect. But I've been known to enjoy some CSPAN in my life.
This Movie was a lot of fun to watch from start to finish!
The Lightsaber Battle as well as the Podrace scene are the simply the best action scenes ever made.
Agreed!
Not the future but in a galaxy far far far far far away
Jar Jar Binks is fine Character , the movies are made for 12 years olds Kids LOVED Jar Jar when this came out, the old ADULTS , didnt , because they are OLD and grew up in the 8o's but many people like Jar Jar , my kids loved him in 1999..
I'm still angry i saw this movie twice the day it came out. Hated it so much. Will never watch it again. When my daughter was about 8 or 9, she said she had seen all four star wars movies (TFA had come out) because we do not discuss this film in my house
Lmaoo
George Lucas is a racist hack and a fraud
Over 20 plus years and people still in the comments bitching about Jar Jar, seek therapy or get over it 😂
Decent reaction to a really shitty movie. I remember leaving the theatre after the end credits and _everybody_ was like ”WTF was that dumpster fire of a movie!” 😂
Lol then you'd enjoy part 2 of my reaction 😄
I absolutely loathe Jar-Jar. Not the actor, the character. There is a distinction, and one should not be confused with the other. But my GOD, George, how could you have thought that he was a good idea???!??? Even if, EVEN IF he really was meant to be the comic relief, or if he was supposed to be the source for child attraction, you failed on both those points. He's not funny, just annoying, so that's a fail. And as for catching/keeping the attention of a younger audience? 1, Anakin does a decent job of that (he's more annoying once you grow up and start to notice but that's also in part due to the lines he's given), and 2, there's so many parts of this movie that only adults would understand, to the point where you're not keeping their attention, so much as you are grabbing it for the briefest of moments before some babble about politics happens, losing them all over again.
100% agreed!
Awesome 😎 Star Wars movie 🎥
